项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application proposes a training plan to develop Laura E. Dreer, Ph.D. into an independent patient oriented researcher specializing in the psychological factors involved in low vision and its rehabilitation. Dr. Dreer is a licensed clinical psychologist with subspecialty training in rehabilitation psychology and neuropsychology and prior research experience involving the application of evidence-based psychoeducational interventions for persons with chronic conditions and functional impairments. This training program will consist of mentored research, advanced coursework leading to a Masters in Science in Public Health in Epidemiology, and multi-disciplinary didactics including courses in vision science. Mentored research will be conducted under the direction of a mentorship committee composed of Dr. Cynthia Owsley, Professor of Ophthalmology, and Director of the UAB Clinical Unit, Dr. Timothy R. Elliott, Professor of Psychology, and Dr. Gerald McGwin, Jr., Director of Epidemiology and Biostatistical Services in the Clinical Research Unit. Consultants expert in the delivery of low vision rehabilitation will participate in the training plan: Dr. Dawn DeCarlo, Director of UAB Center for Low Vision Rehabilitation; Dr. Lylas G. Mogk, Director of the Visual Rehabilitation Center of Michigan of the Henry Ford Health System; and Marry Warren, M.S., OTR/L, Director of the UAB Graduate Certificate in Low Vision Rehabilitation Program. This research will be conducted using the client resources of the UAB Center for Low Vision Rehabilitation. The current research literature on the psychosocial factors that influence adjustment following irreversible vision loss have been considerably understudied, despite the fact that adjustment to functional impairment and disability has been linked to health related outcomes in a variety of chronic health conditions. Empirical research clearly shows that problem solving training (a "psychoeducational" intervention) effectively decreases distress and enhances the health and well-being of persons with serious chronic conditions. Thus, the current project aims to extend the application of this useful intervention to adult persons with low vision and their unique problems. The efficacy of the problem solving training intervention on depression and other health-related outcomes (emotional distress, vision-targeted health-related quality of life) will be examined in the research component of this K23 training program through the conduct of a randomized intervention evaluation.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请提出了培养 Laura E. Dreer 博士的培训计划。成为一名以患者为导向的独立研究人员，专门研究低视力及其康复所涉及的心理因素。 Dreer 博士是一名持有执照的临床心理学家，接受过康复心理学和神经心理学方面的亚专业培训，并拥有针对慢性病和功能障碍患者应用循证心理教育干预措施的先前研究经验。该培训计划将包括指导研究、流行病学公共卫生理学硕士学位的高级课程以及包括视觉科学课程在内的多学科教学。指导研究将在指导委员会的指导下进行，该指导委员会由眼科教授兼 UAB 临床部门主任 Cynthia Owsley 博士、心理学教授 Timothy R. Elliott 博士和 Gerald McGwin, Jr. 博士组成。，临床研究部流行病学和生物统计服务主任。参加培训计划的低视力康复专家顾问有：UAB低视力康复中心主任Dawn DeCarlo博士； Lylas G. Mogk 博士，亨利·福特医疗系统密歇根州视力康复中心主任； Marry Warren，硕士，OTR/L，UAB 低视力康复项目研究生证书主任。这项研究将利用 UAB 低视力康复中心的客户资源进行。尽管功能障碍和残疾的调整与各种慢性健康状况下的健康相关结果有关，但目前关于影响不可逆视力丧失后的调整的心理社会因素的研究文献还相当不足。实证研究清楚地表明，解决问题的训练（一种“心理教育”干预）可以有效地减少患有严重慢性病的人的痛苦并增强他们的健康和福祉。因此，当前的项目旨在将这种有用的干预措施的应用范围扩大到视力低下的成年人及其独特的问题。 K23 培训计划的研究部分将通过随机干预评估来检查问题解决培训干预对抑郁症和其他健康相关结果（情绪困扰、视力目标健康相关生活质量）的有效性。
