Persistent feelings of gender dysphoria (GD) are accompanied by distress and body dissatisfaction in most clinically referred adolescents and adults. Transition-related medical interventions (e.g., puberty suppression, hormones, or surgery) may alleviate body dissatisfaction. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to compare multidimensional body image across clinically referred adolescents and adults undergoing different transition-related medical interventions. Two clinical samples of adolescents (n = 82) and adults (n = 120) referred to specialized departments of four different transgender health services in Germany participated in the study. In total, 202 individuals from the female-to-male (FtM individuals) and male-to-female (MtF individuals) spectrum aged 14-74 years were included at different stages of their transition. Four scales assessing multidimensional aspects of body image (measured by the Body Image Assessment Questionnaire, FBeK) were compared across three groups: sample, gender, and medical interventions (while controlling for age and treatment duration). The results indicated less favorable body image scores compared with the norm in both adolescents and adults with GD. Individuals who had undergone transition-related medical interventions presented a significantly better body image on two of the four scales. Differences according to gender and age were also present. These findings suggest that medical interventions, especially gender-affirming hormones and surgery, are generally beneficial to the body image in individuals with GD. However, not all of the less favorable outcomes in multidimensional body image were positively influenced by the treatment conditions and may thus benefit from additional integrative counseling before and during transition.
OBJECTIVE The concept of family functioning is gaining importance in psycho-oncology research and health care services. The Family Assessment Device (FAD) is a well-established measure of family functioning. Psychometric properties inherent in the German 51-item adaptation of the FAD are examined in different samples of families with parental cancer. METHODS Acceptance, reliability, and validity of FAD scales are analysed in samples from different study settings (N=1701 cancer patients, N=261 partners, N=158 dependent adolescent children 11 to 18years old). RESULTS Missing items in the FAD scales (acceptance) are rare for adults (<1.1%) and adolescent children (<4.4%). In samples of adults and older adolescents (15 to 18years), all FAD scales except for the Roles scale are significantly reliable (0.75≤Cronbach's α≤0.88). The scales correlate highly (0.46≤Pearson's r≤0.59) with the criterion satisfaction with family life (convergent validity), and have smaller correlations (0.16≤r≤0.49) with measures of emotional distress and subjective well-being (divergent validity). In most FAD scales, adults seeking family counselling report worse family functioning (0.24≤Cohen's d≤0.59) than adults in other samples with parental cancer (discriminative validity). CONCLUSION Overall, the German 51-item adaptation of the FAD reveals good acceptance, reliability, and validity for cancer patients and their relatives. Particularly the scale General Functioning shows excellent psychometric properties. The FAD is suitable in the assessment of families with parental cancer for adults and adolescents older than 11years.
Children of cancer patients are at risk for developing psychological symptoms. The parental appraisal of the child's psychological condition is a key variable for the utilization of child-centred psychosocial services. This study aimed at the systematic analysis of parental appraisals of changes in the emotional condition or behaviour of their children. We conducted an epidemiologic survey with a sample size of 1,809 patients with different cancer diagnoses, giving information about 2,581 children aged 21 years or younger at time of diagnosis. Quantitative information on children's distress during the disease and on changes in psychological condition or behaviour and qualitative information on the kind of changes were analysed. About half of the children were considered to be psychologically strongly affected during the disease. For about 25 % negative changes in psychological condition or behaviour are reported, positive changes are reported for 20 % of the children. Negative changes are most frequently described in young children (up to five years), positive changes are most frequently described in young adults (18 to 21 years). The results indicate that from the cancer parent's view many children are substantially distressed. Thus, the implementation of additional preventive psychosocial services seems reasonable and necessary.
Dieser Artikel thematisiert Blickwinkel auf die Schnittstelle zwischen Beratung und Coaching aus der Perspektive von
Professionellen und Klient_innen. Im Rahmen einer Dissertationsstudie wurden sechs Beratungsprozesse mit insgesamt
22 Sitzungen gefilmt und jeweils im Anschluss die Berater_innen und Klient_innen einzeln zu deren Erleben in Hinblick
auf die Beziehungsgestaltung videogestützt interviewt. Als Nebenergebnis der Dissertationsstudie werden Aussagen der
Beteiligten über die empfundene Schnittstelle zwischen Beratung und Coaching in diesem Artikel dargestellt. Insbesondere
das gesellschaftliche Bild von Beratung und Coaching sowie die damit verbundenen Zuschreibungen und Erwartungshaltungen
der Beteiligten stehen im Fokus des Artikels, weiterhin auch formatübergreifende Anforderungen an zeitliche und
strukturelle Aspekte, das Vorgehen sowie der/die Berater/in oder Coach als Person. Abschließend werden anhand der
gewonnenen Erkenntnisse Schlussfolgerungen für die Praxis abgeleitet, die insbesondere das Bedürfnis nach Sicherheit als
zentrales Element von Coaching- und Beratungsprozessen sowie Erwartungen an das Vorgehen innerhalb der Prozesse in
den Blick nehmen und somit die Frage nach der Relevanz einer Abgrenzung der Formate Beratung und Coaching aus der
Sicht des Klientels aufwerfen.
Dieser Artikel stellt die Ergebnisse einer Onlinebefragung von 68 Coaches in Hinblick auf die Gestaltung von Nähe und Distanz in der Coaching-Beziehung dar. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen die Relevanz der Reflexion und professionellen Auseinandersetzung mit der Gestaltung von Nähe und Distanz im Coaching unter Berücksichtigung eigener Bedürfnisse und derer der Klientel. Es werden Sichtweisen der Befragten in Bezug auf Nähe und Distanz als Thema in der Coaching-Ausbildung, im beruflichen Alltag sowie sich daraus ergebende Herausforderungen in der praktischen Arbeit mit der Klientel erfragt, welche im Rahmen dieses Artikels dargelegt werden. Hieraus werden Schlussfolgerungen für die Coaching-Praxis abgeleitet und Nähe und Distanz als Regulationsmechanismen der Beziehungsgestaltung verdeutlicht.

Mit selbst konzipierten Lernvideos Interaktion in der Präsenzlehre fördern - Ein Erfahrungsbericht
(2020)
Dieser Artikel thematisiert, wie der Einsatz selbst erstellter Lernvideos in Lehrveranstaltungen die Interaktion zwischen Studierenden und Lehrenden sowie der Studierenden untereinander beeinflusst. Anhand zweier Einsatzbeispiele wird die Implementierung der Videos von der Bedarfserhebung bis hin zum tatsächlichen Einsatz erläutert, um Potentiale und Hürden ihres Einsatzes herauszuarbeiten. Dazu werden auch die Ergebnisse einer triangulierten Evaluation herangezogen.
Das Handeln im beruflichen und privaten Alltag wird oft von scheinbaren Selbstverständlichkeiten gesteuert, die in der Regel nicht weiter in Frage gestellt werden. Solche Selbstverständlichkeiten beruhen häufig auf Stereotypen und Vorurteilen, die eine verzerrte und einseitige soziale Wahrnehmung zur Folge haben. Es kommt zu Übergeneralisierungen
und Fehlklassifikationen, durch die bestimmte Personen benachteiligt werden können. Obwohl die Aktivierung von Stereotypen automatisch erfolgt, ist ihre Verwendung keinesfalls unvermeidlich. Dementsprechend werden in diesem Beitrag Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, wie Stereotype überwunden werden können.

The presence of cancer and additional parental responsibilities can increase strain for individual patients as well as for their children. The construct of health-related quality of life (HRQL) is appropriate to measure a combination of physical, mental and social consequences as a result of disease. However, previous research has merely focused on symptom checklists. This study addresses the following questions: (i) does HRQL in children and their parents with cancer differ compared to the general population? (ii) Are there any variables that are associated with HRQL in children? (iii) What are current psychosocial support needs? A population-based survey of 976 survivors (<6 years post diagnosis) with minor children between 6 and 18 years (n = 1,449) was conducted with two German cancer registries. HRQL was assessed using SF-8 (survivors) and Kidscreen (children). The results were compared to normative populations, and predictors associated with HRQL in children were evaluated within a multilevel model. We found that the HRQL in children was better compared to the norm. Only children with support needs had worse HRQL. Older age, having a mother with cancer, having a parent not living together with a partner, and worse parental physical and mental health influenced HRQL in children. Illness characteristics were irrelevant. Even with a mean of 3.5 years after diagnosis, survivors had lower physical and mental health compared to the norm. Our findings reinforce the need for health professionals to pay attention to younger patients and their children. Even years after diagnosis, life might not have returned to normal.

(1) Background: Schools report a high number of schoolchildren with poor attention and hyperactive behavior, with 5% being diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This causes specific problems during homework and classroom times, and the extension of all-day schooling in German primary schools makes this a challenge for support staff working in the after-school programs. Such staff have a very wide variety of qualifications, ranging from no formal teacher training to full teaching qualifications. (2) Methods: This study documents the knowledge of 196 support staff working in all-day primary schools about ADHD, and their subjective view of whether they feel competent with regard to homework situations in general and ADHD in particular. (3) Results: Those with an educational background have significantly more knowledge than those without such a background, staff feel less prepared to supervise children with ADHD, and there is a small but significant correlation here with knowledge about ADHD. (4) Conclusions: The importance of trained pedagogical staff in the supervision of children with concentration problems is emphasized.
