“…We used the German version of the state scale of the STAI ( Laux et al, 1981 ) to measure participants’ change in anxiety level in response to the traumatic film clip and the dog intervention. The STAI-S is a brief self-report measure consisting of 20 items related to feelings of apprehension, nervousness, tension, and worry.…”

Therapy Dogs as a Crisis Intervention After Traumatic Events? – An Experimental Study

et al. 2018

Animal-assisted therapy has been proposed as a treatment adjunct for traumatized patients. In animal-assisted crisis response, dogs are used directly after a traumatic event to reduce stress and anxiety. However, to date there are few controlled studies investigating the effects of therapy dogs on PTSD symptoms and to our knowledge there is no study investigating the effects of a therapy dog intervention directly after a traumatic event. In this study, 60 healthy female participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: after exposure to a “traumatic” film clip (trauma-film paradigm), one group of participants interacted with a friendly dog for 15 min, another group of participants watched a film clip showing a person interacting with a friendly dog and the last group was instructed to relax. Participants who had interacted with the dog after the film reported lower anxiety levels, less negative affect, and more positive affect after the intervention as compared to the other two groups. However, the participants who interacted with the dog showed a smaller decrease in physiological arousal after the traumatic film clip compared to both other groups. There were no differences in intrusion symptoms between the three groups. Our results show that dogs are able to lessen subjectively experienced stress and anxiety after a “traumatic” stress situation.

“…The response range for the STAI State Form is 20 (low anxiety) – 80 (high anxiety); clinically relevant anxiety is considered to be scores ≥39. The German language STAI has been validated, with scores between 0.09 and 0.56, [ 14 ].…”

Pre-treatment anxiety in a dental hygiene recall population: a cross-sectional pilot study

et al. 2016

BackgroundIncreased levels of anxiety may affect a patient’s receptiveness to treatment, health care information and behaviour modification.This study was undertaken to assess pre-treatment anxiety in a dental hygiene recall population maintaining a schedule of regular preventive care appointments.MethodsThe sample population consisted of 46 consecutive adult recall patients waiting for their regularly scheduled dental hygiene appointment. Pre-treatment state (current) anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait-Anxiety Inventory (STAI), State form; dental anxiety with the Hierarchical Anxiety Questionnaire (HAQ); subjective stress using a visual analogue scale (VAS); and mood/alertness/calmness using the Multidimensional Mood Questionnaire (MDMQ).ResultsTwo distinct groups, based on state anxiety scores, were formed; one displaying increased levels of pre-treatment anxiety (n = 14), the other low anxiety (n = 32). The HA group was characterized by significantly higher dental anxiety and subjective stress levels prior to treatment; as well as worse mood, lower alertness, and less calmness in the dental office setting. There was no correlation between anxiety level and years in dental hygiene recall.ConclusionsA high level of pre-treatment anxiety was present in about one third of the sample population. The prevalence of this anxiety demonstrates the need for both early recognition and patient management strategies (psychological and pain management) to positively influence their treatment experience.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12903-016-0198-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Patients with ADHD were diagnosed by trained psychiatrists and psychologists at the ADHD outpatient clinic according to the DSM-IV-TR criteria. To control for covariates, questionnaires regarding current difficulties related to attention, hyperactivity and impulsivity (ADHD self-rating questionnaire, ADHS-SB; Wender Utah Rating Scale, WURS-K) [ 41 , 42 ], state and trait anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI X1 and X2 [ 43 ]), depressive symptoms (Beck’s Depression Inventory, 2 nd edition, BDI [ 44 ]) and the baseline levels of impulsivity (Barrett Impulsiveness Scale, BIS [ 45 ]) were administered to all subjects. Participants with diabetes; obesity; schizophrenia; current substance abuse; or a history of drug abuse, mood or anxiety disorder or any other chronic medical condition were excluded.…”

No Clear Association between Impaired Short-Term or Working Memory Storage and Time Reproduction Capacity in Adult ADHD Patients

et al. 2015

ObjectiveAltered time reproduction is exhibited by patients with adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It remains unclear whether memory capacity influences the ability of adults with ADHD to reproduce time intervals.MethodWe conducted a behavioral study on 30 ADHD patients who were medicated with methylphenidate, 29 unmedicated adult ADHD patients and 32 healthy controls (HCs). We assessed time reproduction using six time intervals (1 s, 4 s, 6 s, 10 s, 24 s and 60 s) and assessed memory performance using the Wechsler memory scale.ResultsThe patients with ADHD exhibited lower memory performance scores than the HCs. No significant differences in the raw scores for any of the time intervals (p > .05), with the exception of the variability at the short time intervals (1 s, 4 s and 6 s) (p < .01), were found between the groups. The overall analyses failed to reveal any significant correlations between time reproduction at any of the time intervals examined in the time reproduction task and working memory performance (p > .05).ConclusionWe detected no findings indicating that working memory might influence time reproduction in adult patients with ADHD. Therefore, further studies concerning time reproduction and memory capacity among adult patients with ADHD must be performed to verify and replicate the present findings.
