OBJECTIVE: The present work aimed to evaluate and compare the verbal behavior ability in children with different levels of ASD support. METHOD: Eleven children diagnosed with autism and aged between 2 and 7 years old and who presented diversity among themselves in terms of the level of ASD support were evaluated. To investigate their communication repertoire, they were evaluated using an instrument developed by a team of specialized professionals, investigating non-verbal, echoic, command, tact and intraverbal behavior in three attempts. RESULTS: Despite the small number of participants, the results indicated that patients at level 3 of support have greater impairment in communication compared to the others. The study highlighted the importance of screening behavioral skills for more effective planning for intervention and concomitant clinical evolution, thus respecting the particularities and singularities of each person on the spectrum. CONCLUSION: This concludes the importance of behavioral analysis and detailed investigation for each patient, so that interventions are focused on their real needs.

BackgroundHome-based intervention occupies a prominent place in the treatment of autism spectrum disorder （ASD） in children， whereas previous studies on the effect of home-based early intensive behavioral intervention on verbal ability of children with ASD are somewhat inadequate. ObjectiveTo study the effects of intensive family behavioral of intervention based on Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program （VB-MAPP） on the language ability of children with ASD， so as to provide references for the development of family intervention strategies for children with ASD. MethodsChildren aged 2 to 3 years old who attended the Children's Rehabilitation Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from September 2020 to December 2021 and met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition （DSM-5） diagnostic criteria for ASD were selected as the study objects. A non-randomized concurrent control trial was conducted to compare a study group （n=24） receiving home-based early intensive behavioral intervention using VB-MAPP with a control group （n=14） receiving training from other special institutions or early childhood education institutions. The intervention lasted for 6 months in both groups. Before and after the intervention， the VB-MAPP milestone assessment was performed in the two groups， and the VB-MAPP milestone score， mand， trac and listener responds were selected as the study indicators. Then the intervention effect was compared between two groups， and the multiple linear regression was performed to screen the related influencing factors. ResultsAfter intervention， the total milestone assessment score， mand， tact and listener responds scores of study group were higher than those of control group， with statistical difference （Z=-4.339~-2.195， P<0.05 or 0.01）. Multiple linear regression analysis denoted that the average weekly hours of home-based intervention in the first three months had certain effect on listener responds （β=1.029， P<0.05）. ConclusionApplication of home-based early intensive behavior intervention using VB-MAPP may contribute to the improvement of verbal abilities such as mand， tact and listener responds in children with ASD. ［Funded by 2020 Guangdong Provincial Science and Technology Innovation Strategy Special Fund （number， 20200601）］
ABSTRACT
Autism spectrum disorders are characterized by neurodevelopmental alterations with onset of symptoms in childhood. The literature has indicated that the models of intensive behavioral intervention can produce significant improvements in several areas of the development of people with this diagnosis. The offer of this type of therapy in Brazil is still scarce, especially in institutions financed by the Unified Health System. However, the training of caregivers has been pointed out as an alternative to promote access to this type of therapy to more autistic people. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of caregiver training on the development of autistic children treated at an institution financed by the Unified Health System. Participants were assessed before and after the intervention, using an instrument that measured the children's development. The results indicated improvement in the development of six children out of a group of 17.

ABSTRACT
Tic disorders are one of the common neurodevelopmental disorders in children, which are mainly managed by pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment.Psychological interventions belong to the non-pharmacological treatment, which, however, have not yet been fully recognized and understood in China.The analyses on clinical effectiveness and availability to pediatric patients are limited.This study aims to interpret the clinical guidelines of psychological interventions for Tourette syndrome and other tic disorders by European Society for the Study of Tourette syndrome in the journal of European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in 2021, aiming to provide reference for the psychological interventions of tic disorders in China.
ABSTRACT
Abstract This study evaluated the effects in the pain and sleep, and the clinic significance after an analytic-behavioral intervention to manage the condition of the physical and interpersonal environment related to pain. Four women with fibromyalgia and insomnia participated in a study with intervention withdrawal multiple baseline design and initial, intermediate, final, and follow-up assessments. Self-report instruments were used to assess pain intensity and disability, sleep quality, and insomnia severity, besides the actigraphy. Data showed that the intervention (20 sessions) was effective in reducing the sleep and pain problems in all participants by shifting two participants from clinical to non-clinical status in sleep indicators. The gains were maintained or increased in follow-up measures. However, the results should take into consideration the clinical condition and other variables that may have individually impacted the results.

Objective:To analyze the diagnosis and treatment process, treatment methods and clinical efficacy of children with refractory Tourette′s syndrome (TS), thus providing a basis for comprehensive prevention and treatment of refractory TS.Methods:A total of 90 children with refractory TS treated in the Child Mental Health Research Center of Nanjing Brain Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from May 2012 to July 2019 were recruited.Their baseline characteristics, diagnosis of comorbidities before and after hospitalization, combined non-drug therapy during hospitalization, the drug types used before and after admission, the dosages of main anti-tic drugs used before admission and at discharge, and the treatment outcomes of comorbidities after admission were retrospectively analyzed.The Yale global tic severity scales (YGTSS) scores and the reduction rate were used to assess the severity of tic disorder and therapeutic effect, and the clinical global impression-efficacy index (CGI-EI) scores were graded for assessing the final therapeutic efficacy.Results:Among the 90 children with refractory TS, 82 children were males and 8 children were females.There was a significant difference in the YGTSS scores at admission and discharge (25.04±12.77 vs.67.64±12.46) ( t=27.55, P<0.05). The proportion of all recruited children diagnosed with comorbidities at discharge was significantly higher than that of admission (85.56% vs.47.78%, χ2=28.90, P<0.05). Combined non-drug therapies after admission mainly included psycho-education and supportive therapy (90 cases), comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics (47 cases) and relaxation therapy (19 cases). The distribution of drugs used before and after admission was the same, and there was no significant difference in the dosages of the five major anti-tic drugs before admission and at discharge (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences in YGTSS scores and reduction rate, and CGI-EI scores of children with or without comorbidities before and after admission (all P>0.05), suggesting the similar therapeutic outcomes. Conclusions:There is no difference in efficacy between outpatient treatment and anti-tic medication of children with refractory TS, and a comprehensive hospitalized intervention can significantly improve their clinical symptoms.Diagnosis and treatment of comorbidities and combined non-drug treatments like comprehensive psychological and behavioral interventions are the key events to improve the prognosis of children with refractory TS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To introduce and conduct effectiveness evaluation of peer-group level care and management mode in people living with HIV and AIDS(PLHAs)in Jing'an District, Shanghai. Methods We recruited PLHAs who were managed by Jing'an District and participated in the peer-group care activities from 2015 to 2016, and collected their data of general conditions, behavior, antiretroviral therapy, life quality, social support, mental status and medical modes, and then conducted effectiveness evaluation of the mode by multivariate logistic regression model and linear regression model. Results A total of 300 PLHAs were included with 150 cases in each group. PLHAs in target group had higher proportion of antiretroviral therapy[82.7%(124/150)and 64.7%(97/150)]. In addition, they got higher scores in mental health(48.5±9.2 and 43.9±10.6)and social support(28.7±8.2 and 24.8±6.6), and lower scores in depressive severity index(0.5±0.1)and avoidance of medical modes(16.1±3.0 and 17.0±2.5). Multivariate analysis showed that PLHAs in target group had less sex partners(zero partner, OR = 2.1, 95%CI:1.1-3.9;one partner, OR = 3.6, 95%CI:1.9-6.8)and increased condom use(no sex, OR = 5.3, 95%CI:2.4-11.7;complete use, OR = 10.6, 95%CI:4.7-24.1;random miss, OR = 5.1, 95%CI:1.8-14.8)in the last 12 months. Conclusion The effect of peer-group level care and management mode is significantly good in promoting behavior change, enhancing health concern and increasing antiretroviral therapy.
ABSTRACT
Problemas de sono são frequentes na infância e estão associados a problemas de comportamento. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito de um tratamento multicomponente para a insônia infantil nos padrões, rotina e hábitos de sono das crianças. Participaram 57 crianças com problemas comportamentais relacionados ao sono e suas mães. As mães receberam educação sobre o sono infantil e orientações sobre o estabelecimento de horários e rotinas para dormir e sobre o uso de técnicas de extinção e reforço positivo. Os dados foram avaliados antes e após a intervenção por diários de sono e pela Escala UNESP de Hábitos e Higiene do Sono Versão Crianças. Nossos resultados apontaram que crianças com problemas de sono apresentam em sua maioria, hábitos e rotinas inadequadas antes de dormir e que uma intervenção que focasse na modificação destes hábitos, somada a estratégias de extinção para comportamentos inadequados e reforço positivo para comportamentos adequados no momento de dormir podem ter contribuído na melhora do sono. Espera-se que este trabalho possa estimular a produção de pesquisas nacionais sobre o tema, servindo como incentivo para o desenvolvimento de medidas preventivas e interventivas para os problemas de sono na infância.
Sleep problems are common in childhood and are associated with behavioral problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a multicomponent treatment for childhood insomnia on children's patterns, routine and sleep habits. 57 children with behavioral problems related to sleep and their mothers participated. The mothers were educated on their child's sleep, received guidance on the establishment of sleeping schedules and routines and on the use of extinction and positive reinforcement techniques. The data were evaluated before and after the intervention by sleep diaries and by the Escala UNESP de Hábitos e Higiene do Sono Versão Crianças. Our results showed that children with sleep problems mostly present inadequate habits and routines before bedtime and that an intervention that focused on changing these habits, added to extinction strategies for inappropriate behaviors and positive reinforcement for adequate behaviors at bedtime may have contributed to improved sleep. It is hoped that this work can stimulate the production of national research on the subject, serving as an incentive for the development of preventive and interventional measures for childhood sleep problems.

Resumen En México, una de cada cuatro personas con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) tiene un control aceptable de la enfermedad. Consecuentemente, el propósito de este estudio fue determinar el cambio clínico de una intervención cognitivo-conductual en el control metabólico (CM) de la DM2 y variables psicológicas asociadas (malestar emocional asociado a diabetes mellitus [MEADM], sintomatología depresiva y bienestar psicológico). Se utilizó un diseño cuasiexperimental pretest-postest con seguimiento a los tres meses. Los resultados muestran un efecto muy alto de la intervención en el MEADM del pretest al postest (g = 1.399) y al seguimiento (g = 1.478); un efecto moderado del pretest al postest (g = 0.461) y alto del pretest al postest (g = 1.036) en el bienestar psicológico. Se necesita más tiempo para que la HbA1c y la sintomatología depresiva lleguen a rangos de control.
Abstract In Mexico, one of four people with type 2 diabetes mellitus has an acceptable control. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the clinical change of a cognitive-behavioral intervention on metabolic control and associated psychological variables (emotional distress, depressive symptomatology and psychological well-being) in people with this disease. A quasi-experimental pretest posttest design with a follow-up of one and three months was used. Results show a very high effect on the emotional distress to the pretest to posttest (g = 1.399) and to the follow-up (g = 1.478); a moderate effect from pretest to posttest (g = 0.461) and high from pretest to posttest (g = 1.036) in psychological well-being. More time is needed for the HbA1c and depressive symptomatology reach ranges of control.

Resumo A intervenção comportamental, por meio da orientação parental, vem alcançando resultados positivos no manejo da insônia em crianças. Contudo, questiona-se a efetividade de tais intervenções em irmãos gêmeos, pelo fato de os pais partilharem os cuidados de duas crianças da mesma idade e nível de desenvolvimento. O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar um relato de caso de intervenção comportamental para insônia infantil em irmãos gêmeos por meio de um programa dirigido aos pais e verificar o efeito da intervenção no sono e comportamentos diurnos das crianças. A mãe dos gêmeos foi orientada quanto as técnicas de extinção e reforço positivo no manejo do problema de sono infantil. Os resultados demonstraram que depois da intervenção houve melhora nos hábitos de sono, na qualidade do sono e nos comportamentos internalizantes e externalizantes das crianças. Os achados apresentados neste estudo mostraram os efeitos positivos que a intervenção baseada na aprendizagem operante teve sobre o sono e o comportamento infantil. Este aspecto ressalta a importância de uma inserção maior da questão do sono na Psicologia, a partir de práticas preventivas e interventivas.
Abstract Behavioral intervention by means of parental guidance has been achieving positive results in the management of insomnia in children. However, the effectiveness of such interventions in twins is questioned because parents share the care of two children of the same age and level of development. This is a case report of behavioral intervention for childhood insomnia in twins through a program for parents. The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of such intervention on children's sleep and daytime behaviors. The mother of the twins was instructed on the techniques of extinction and positive reinforcement in the management of children's sleep problems. The results showed that after the intervention there was an improvement in the children's sleep habits, sleep quality and internalizing and externalizing behaviors. The findings of this case report show the positive effects that an intervention based on operant learning had on children's sleep and behavior. This highlights the importance of a greater inclusion of issues related to sleep in psychological studies based on preventive and intervention practices.

RESUMO O estudo avaliou os efeitos da Intervenção Comportamental Intensiva, realizada por meio da capacitação de cuidadores, no desenvolvimento de crianças com autismo. A pesquisa foi realizada a partir dos dados de crianças atendidas por um centro brasileiro especializado. Os participantes do Grupo 1 eram 22 crianças que finalizaram o primeiro ano de intervenção intensiva. Onze crianças que não fizeram a intervenção intensiva compuseram o Grupo 2, para fins de análise de dados. Os resultados indicaram ganhos significativos em todas as áreas do desenvolvimento das crianças com autismo que passaram pelo primeiro ano de Intervenção Comportamental Intensiva, enquanto as crianças do grupo controle apresentaram ganhos menos expressivos. Crianças mais novas, que falavam e que apresentavam sintomas mais brandos de autismo obtiveram melhores resultados.
ABSTRACT The study evaluated the effects of Intensive Behavioral Intervention, conducted through training of caregivers, on the development of children with autism. The analysis was based on data of children treated by a specialized Brazilian center. Participants in Group 1 were 22 children who completed the first year of intensive intervention. Eleven children, who did not receive intensive intervention, were assigned to Group 2, for data analysis purposes. The results indicated significant gains in all areas of the development of children with autism who have gone through the first year of Intensive Behavioral Intervention, while children in the control group showed less impressive gains. Younger children, who spoke and who had milder symptoms of autism, obtained better results.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Background: Sleep problems are common in children and can have an effect on behavioral and emotional functioning. Despite the importance of sleep for children's health, there is a lack of studies on this topic in Brazil. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of behavioral intervention for sleep problems in young children and to investigate the effects on their daytime behavior. Methods: Sixty-two children (ages 1-5; M = 2.3, SD= 1.3) with bedtime problems and night waking were randomized to a parent-based intervention or a wait list control group. After the waiting period, the wait list participants were offered treatment. The intervention was composed of five sessions over 2 months, during which the parents were educated on their child's sleep and received guidance on the establishment of sleeping schedules and routines and on the use of extinction and positive reinforcement techniques. Sleep patterns and behavior problems were assessed with parent-report measures. Sleep patterns were also assessed with actigraphy. Assessments were completed at pre-intervention, post-intervention, 1-month follow-up, and 6-month follow-up. Results: Children who received intervention showed greater baseline to post-treatment improvements in sleep latency, night waking, behavior such as resisting going to bed, the desire to sleep with their parents, and daytime behavior than the control group. These improvements were maintained at follow-up. Conclusions: We concluded that behavioral parent-based intervention is effective in improving the quality of sleep and the diurnal behavior of children. This study provides initial support for use of this protocol in psychology clinics/schools. Brazilian clinical trials registration, RBR-4kxxd5. Retrospectively registered on December 13, 2016.

Objective To investigate the effect of Early Intervention Denver Model ( Early Start Denver Model,ESDM) on children with autism spectrum disorder( ASD). Methods From May 2017 to April 2018,forty four children aged 2-5 years with ASD were enrolled in the study and were randomly divided into the experimental group(n=20) and the control group (n=20). The experimental group received ESDM rehabilitation intervention and the control group received conventional rehabilitation intervention. Before and 6 months after intervention,all children were assessed by the Psycho-educational Profile-3rd Edition ( PEP-3). Results After 6 months of intervention,the developmental age of cognition (30 (26,34),33(30,44);Z=-3. 728,P<0. 001),imitation (33(29,40),38( 32,43); Z=-2. 010,P=0. 044),expression language (29(23,39),41( 33,50); Z=-3. 923, P<0. 01), receptive language ( 25 ( 20,32),34 ( 28,38); Z=-3. 727,P<0. 01) and fine motor (29(23,41),39(33,47) ;Z=-2. 704,P=0. 007) of the control group were significantly higher than those before intervention. In the experimental group,the developmental age of cognition (25 ( 21,32),37 ( 32,40); Z=-3. 922, P<0. 01),imitation ( 22 ( 17,35),39 ( 38,42); Z= -3. 826,P<0. 01),expression language (30(24,35),47( 37,53); Z=-3. 824,P<0. 01),receptive lan-guage (22(15,32),37(30,43); Z=-3. 924,P<0. 01),fine motor (25(22,33),43(30,52); Z=-3. 924, P<0. 01) and gross motor ( 24(17,38),40(27,43); Z=-3. 523,P<0. 01) were significantly higher than those before intervention. Compared with the control group,the experimental group had significantly greater changes in the five regions:cognition(6(3,10),11(10,20); Z=-2. 821,P=0. 005),expression language (6(4,9),12(7,18); Z=-3. 278,P=0. 001),receptive language(5(3,10),12(7,18); Z=-3. 299,P=0. 001),fine motor (7(1,10),13(10,22); Z=-3. 038,P=0. 002)and gross motor(1(0,10),11(5,16);Z=-2. 568,P=0. 01) of PEP-3 after intervention. Conclusion Both conventional intervention and ESDM intervention can improve the cognitive,expression language,receptive language,imitation and fine motor abili-ty of children with ASD aged from 2 to 5 years,but ESDM intervention is more effective on improving the cog-nitive,language,imitation and fine motor ability of children with ASD.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of cognitive education and behavioral intervention in solid-state high resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) examination. Methods From April 2016 to June 2017, 60 patients with solid-state HRM in the gastrointestinal motility room at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University were as the research object. The 60 patients were divided into control group and experimental group with 30 cases each by the method of random numbers. The conventional methods was used in control group to conduct informed counseling before the examination and the coordination guidance in the examination. The conventional methods and cognitive behavioral intervention was used in experimental group at the same time. The successful rate of intubation, the time used for the examination, discomfort symptoms during intubation, the patient's satisfaction in the whole check process and self-evaluation of intubation pain experience in two groups of patients were compared. Results The time used in the experimental group examination was (28.50±8.75) min, and the control group was (33.13± 5.49) min. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=2.584, P=0.015). In the experimental group, the number of nausea, vomiting, and coughing in the intubation process was 11, 0, and 1, respectively, and the control group was 20, 6, and 7, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.406, 4.630, 5.192, all P<0.05). In the experimental group, the scores of the 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13 items of the intubation pain experience self-evaluation in the examination process were (1.00 ± 0.64), (1.37 ± 0.85), (2.80 ± 0.96), (1.50 ± 0.51), (0.87 ± 0.63), (0.77 ± 0.50), (0.60 ± 0.56), (1.07 ± 0.25), (0.57 ± 0.57), (1.50 ± 0.63) points, and the 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13 scores of the control group they were (1.50 ± 0.51), (2.03 ± 0.76), (3.50 ± 0.82), (2.03 ± 0.76), (1.20 ± 0.61), (1.03 ± 0.41), (0.83 ± 0.53), (1.23 ± 0.43), (0.87 ± 0.57), (2.00 ± 1.05) points, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (t=-4.130--2.140, all P<0.05). Conclusions HRM is an important test before the clinical application of a wide range of clinical applications for the detection of esophageal motility disorders and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The degree of patient cooperation with the operation directly affects the high-resolution esophageal manometry test results and self-experience. Medical staff can give patients cognitive education and behavioral intervention before examination, which can effectively reduce the symptoms and pain caused by intubation, improve patient compliance, shorten the time for examinations, improve work efficiency, and improve patient satisfaction. It is worth further promotion and application in clinical examination.
ABSTRACT
Post stroke depression has a huge impact on the rehabilitation and recurrence of patients with stroke.Its specific pathogenesis is unknown.Monoamine transmitters, inflammatory cytokines, hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis function and neural plasticity are involved.Because of the uncertainty and side effects of drug therapy, non-drug therapy, especially behavioral intervention, is attracting more and more attention from clinicians.At present, behavioral intervention methods commonly used in clinical practice include: cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, sports, music, and so on.Although a large number of clinical studies have shown that behavioral intervention has a clear therapeutic effect on post stroke depression, there is still no high level of recommendation for the prevention and treatment of post-stroke depression due to the lack of large sample and high quality multicenter randomized controlled studies.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the therapeutic effect of rehabilitation exercise and cognitive-behavioral intervention on the patients with tinnitus. Methods 110 patients were divided into two groups, with 55 cases in each group. Conventional nursing was delivered to the control group, while the patients in the experimental group received conventional nursing as well as rehabilitation exercise and cognitive-behavioral intervention (6 months).The patients were evaluated by Tinnitus handicap inventory (THI),self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)and self-rating depression Scale(SDS)before the intervention,at 1 month and 6 months after the intervention. Results The levels of anxiety,severity of depression and tinnitus classification at 1 month and 6 months after the intervention in both groups were significantly different(all P<0.001).The levels of anxiety,depression and tinnitus in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group.The effect of tinnitus recovery at1 month and 6 months after the intervention in both groups was statistically significant (all P<0.05). The tinnitus recovery in the experimental group was better than that in the control group. Conclusion Rehabilitation exercise and cognitive-behavioral intervention can improve the therapeutic effect on tinnitus, reduce anxiety and depression in patients and deserve clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effectof cognitive behavioral Intervention on the quality of life and cognitive lever of patients with venous thrombus embolism. Methods 164 patients with Venous Thrombus Embolism were randomly divided into control group and research group, the control group received routine care, The study group received cognitive behavior intervention. The cognitive lever and quality of life score was measured between before and after the intervention. Results Before the intervention, the difference score of living quality and cognitive lever in the two groups has no statistical significance (P > 0.05), and after intervention, the cognition lever and the three aspects of risk factors, anticoagulant knowledge and treatment methods of research group scored (28.47 ± 7.63), (7.38 ± 2.48), (6.82±2.73), (3.64±1.59) points which were significantly higher than the control group scored (20.54±5.49), (4.31±2.14), (3.72±1.62), (2.18±1.36) points (t=7.635, 8.469, 8.822, 6.299, P<0.01),the quality of life and four dimensions of daily life ability, pain, social activities, mental scored ( 37.04 ± 7.08), [9.00 (5.00, 11.00)],(9.04 ± 1.55),(5.52 ± 1.59),(14.00 ± 3.06) points which showed great improvement than the control group scored [49.50(39.75-59.25)], [11.50 (6.75, 16.00)], (10.05 ± 1.65), (7.95 ± 2.19), (19.18 ± 3.88) points. There were significant difference in the quality of life and four dimensions between the two groups. (Z=-3.558,-2.143, t=2.102, 4.274, 4.991, P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions The quality of life for the venous thrombus embolism patients were in lower level. The cognitive behavioral intervention could correcting their bad behavior and negative emotions, eventually improve the quality of life of venous thrombus embolism patients.
