Abstract: Objective: Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have shown promise in cultivating resilience and are widely accepted as efficacious in the treatment of a range of psychological disorders. This paper explores the feasibility of a Mindful-Awareness and Resilience Skills Training (MARST) program to enhance mindfulness and resilience, as a means of increasing psychological well-being and alleviating burnout and compassion fatigue in human service professionals. Method: In this randomised control trial, 46 human service professionals were randomly allocated to either a MARST group or to a no intervention, control group. Results: Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), with pre-test scores as the covariates, revealed that the MARST intervention resulted in significant improvements in mindfulness, resilience, compassion satisfaction, and psychological well-being, and significant reductions in burnout and compassion fatigue at post-intervention. These results were maintained at one month follow-up, with the exception of compassion satisfaction which was non-significant. Mediation analysis using a bootstrap res ling method indicated that mindfulness fully mediated changes in resilience and psychological well-being, as a result of the MARST intervention. Self-reported reductions in burnout following the intervention were mediated by mindfulness and resilience, and decreased compassion fatigue was mediated by resilience. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the MARST program may assist in developing resilience and ameliorating burnout and compassion fatigue in human service professionals. The study also provides evidence for the potential of mindfulness-based approaches to enhance resilience.

Abstract: El conocimiento de comunidades de parásitos es muy abundante en peces marinos sin embargo, hay varias especies que tienen escasa información parasitológica, como es el caso de Patagonotothen tessellata (Richardson, 1845), que posee una lia distribución y abundancia en la Patagonia. Este estudio tuvo como objetivos determinar la composición comunitaria de parásitos en P. tessellata, y determinar el efecto del sexo de los hospederos en la composición parasítica a través de los descriptores poblacionales y comunitarios de parásitos. En enero de 2018 se recolectaron 118 ejemplares de P. tessellata en dos localidades cercanas entre sí, Muelle Prat y Muelle Remota, Puerto Natales, Chile Austral. En los peces capturados se encontró un total de 13 especies de parásitos, principalmente del Phylum Nematoda y Acanthocephala, de los cuales el nemátodo Pseudodelphis sp. seguido por el acantocéfalo Hypoechinorhynchus magellanicus (Szidat, 1950) fueron los de mayor prevalencia (78,8% y 53,4%, respectivamente) y abundancia (7,18 ± 17,95 y 7,30 ± 15,21, respectivamente). Se determinó que hospederos machos y hembras tenían iguales tamaños corporales y la misma correlación positiva entre peso-longitud, además, no se observaron diferencias significativas en composición y carga parasitaria. Mientras que el género de los peces t oco afectó la composición parasítica para P. tessellata, pues, no hubo diferencias significativas en la prevalencia ni en la abundancia promedio de las especies de parásitos entre hospederos machos y hembras. Estos resultados indican la semejanza en las comunidades de parásitos entre sexos de P. tessellata y dan a presumir de que las condiciones del hábitat o la dieta de este pez son similares entre machos y hembras. De este modo, ambos grupos estarían expuestos a la infección de las mismas especies parásitas y en similares condiciones ambientales.

Abstract: This paper explores the feasibility of a brief Mindfulness with Metta Training Program (MMTP), targeting the enhancement of mindfulness and self-compassion in a retreat format, as a means of increasing resilience in human services professionals. In this randomised control trial, 44 human services professionals were randomly allocated either to a MMTP retreat group or to a control group. Following the MMTP intervention, no significant differences between the retreat and control groups were found on resilience, mindfulness and self-compassion variables. However, significant improvements were observed over time for the retreat group for mindfulness and self-compassion at one and four months and for resilience at four-months post MMTP intervention. The results of this pilot study show that MMTP in a retreat format is a promising method of increasing resilience, mindfulness and self-compassion in human services professionals.

Abstract: Growing evidence shows that non-offending mothers experience significant loss and trauma following their child reporting experiencing sexual abuse. Maternal support offered to sexually abused children following disclosure can be a crucial factor in children's recovery. Although mothers are often seen as playing a central role in facilitating the recovery of their sexually abused child, there has been little focus on their own needs and profiles. This present study aimed to increase our understanding of the ersity of profiles of non-offending mothers of sexually abused children by exploring the differences in psychosocial traits of non-offending mothers (N = 68 age range 28-67 years) reporting higher and lower resilience. The mediating role of these psychosocial factors on the relationship between resilience and psychological distress will also be explored. Results found that non-offending mothers in the higher resilience group reported higher levels of positive reappraisal, self-compassion, social support, and significantly lower levels of psychological distress compared to non-offending mothers in the lower resilience group. Additionally, multiple mediation analysis indicated positive reappraisal, self-compassion, and social support to be significant mediators of the relationship between resilience and psychological distress. Increased levels of self-compassion and social support were found to be predictive of lowered psychological distress, while increased positive reappraisal predicted increased psychological distress. The findings of the present study provide support for the targeting of the psychosocial factors such as self-compassion, social support, and positive reappraisal in interventions for non-offending mothers in an effort to promote resilience.

Abstract: Using Delphi methodology, the current study utilized a panel of “expert” parents ( N = 23 after three rounds) to examine nine content-based and logistical factors perceived to be important when developing pre-and perinatal (PPN) parenting programs for the modern day. The aim was to attain consensus on 235 items generated from literature and panelists. Consensus was reached on 126 items (53.62%). The most notable related to needs-based content, barriers to fathers' attendance, and groups of parents who may benefit most from programs. Consistent with the literature, clarity was not achieved for appropriate timing and length of programs. With the ersity of recommendations, next steps involve developing a range of programs that use randomized clinical trials with control groups, effective s le sizes, and are pre-and posttested.

Abstract: University students across the world report higher levels of mental health problems compared to the general population. Past research has focused on investigating mental health problems among first-year university students. However, a paucity of existing research compares the prevalence of mental health problems in first-year university students to students in later year-levels. To address this gap, the current study compared the level of depression and anxiety symptomology experienced by university students (n = 198) from Australia and the United States, across first, second, third, and fourth-year levels. The results found no significant differences in the level of depression and anxiety symptomology between university students from these countries, and no significant differences in the level of depression symptoms across year-levels. However, university students in the secondyear level reported significantly higher levels of anxiety symptoms compared to first, third, and fourth-year levels. The current study assessed the role of stress appraisal, psychosocial, and coping factors as predictors of depression and anxiety symptoms across all year-levels of university students. Hierarchical multiple regressions indicated higher levels of perceived stress and lower levels of perceived social support from family significantly predicted higher levels of depression symptoms. Higher levels of perceived stress and academic avoidance coping, and lower levels of c us connectedness significantly predicted higher levels of anxiety symptoms. Limitations and implications for future research are discussed.
