Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This paper reviews the unique processes and treatments of post-traumatic stress in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients and posits specific clinical management recommendations. RECENT FINDINGS PTSD is a common presenting problem for a prospective ICD patient and is a common response to ICD shocks. Approximately 32% of patients with sudden cardiac arrest report significant PTSD symptoms. Following ICD shock, approximately 20% experience PTSD from the shocks. Regardless, PTSD can interrupt and undermine clinical management from a cardiologist perspective and create significant disturbance in patients and families. Few cardiology clinics are outfitted to effectively manage psychological distress, in general, and PTSD, in particular. Effective management of PTSD patients can be achieved with both direct care in the cardiac clinic, as well as indirect care via multidisciplinary consultation and expertise. The importance of emotional validation, return to physical activity, and family engagement is emphasized in current management.

González-Roz A, Secades-Villa R, Muñiz J. Validity evidence of the Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale-Short Form among depressed smokers. Int J Clin Health Psychol 2018; 18:162-169. [PMID: 30487921 PMCID: PMC6225060 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijchp.2018.03.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2017] [Accepted: 03/12/2018] [Indexed: 10/25/2022] Open
Abstract
A measure of Behavioral Activation (BA) is highly recommended when evaluating BA treatment effects for smokers with depression. Recently, a short version of the Behavioral Activation for Depression scale (BADS-SF) has been developed as a means of assessing changes in activation and avoidance patterns. To date there is no validated version of this questionnaire in Spanish. This study sought to adapt the BADS-SF to a Spanish population of depressed smokers. Method A sample of 169 smokers (72.2% female) with elevated depressive symptomatology completed the BADS-SF. Results A bi-factorial structure was obtained: Activation and Avoidance. Results indicated an acceptable internal consistency for both the Activation (ω = .85) and the Avoidance subscales (ω =.70). Overall, convergent validity was obtained with Activation and Avoidance subscales being related to other depression-related measures such as depressive symptomatology (Activation r = -.29; Avoidance r = .35), environmental reward (Activation r = .40; Avoidance r = -.41) and, nicotine dependence (Avoidance r = .23). This latter variable was the only one not showing a statistically significant association with the Activation factor (r = -.12). Conclusions The Spanish BADS-SF can be considered as a reliable and valid instrument when assessing behavioral activation among clinically depressed smokers.

Abstract
Background/Objective: Almost no attention has been paid to depression in Friedreich ataxia (FRDA), a highly disabling cerebellar degenerative disease. Our aim was to study the presence and the profile of depressive symptoms in FRDA and their relationship with demographic-disease variables and cognitive processing speed. Method: The study groups consisted of 57 patients with a diagnosis of FRDA. The Beck Depression Inventory-II was used to assess symptoms of depression. Speed of information processing was measured with a Choice Reaction time task. Results: The mean BDI score for patients was significantly higher than the mean score in the general population. Twenty one percent of participants scored in the moderate/severe range. A Cognitive-Affective score and a Somatic-Motivational score was calculated for each patient. Patients’ scores in both dimensions were significantly higher than the scores in the general population. Demographic and disease variables were not related with symptoms of depression, except for severity of ataxia. Depressive symptoms predict cognitive reaction times. The greater proportion of variance was explained by the Cognitive-Affective dimension. Conclusions: Our data show that both somatic-motivational and cognitive affective symptoms of depression are frequent in individuals with FRDA. In addition, depressive symptoms may influence cognition, especially, the cognitive and affective symptoms.
