拔毛症是一种损害条件,涉及重复的头发拉扯。习惯逆转疗法对许多患有这种疾病的人有帮助。不幸的是,习惯逆转疗法并不是对每个人都有帮助,而且维持收益往往是有问题的。成功的习惯逆转疗法需要个人意识到头发的拉扯和处理。不幸的是,大多数有拔毛癖的人报告说,他们的拔毛大多发生在意识之外。对儿童性行为的监测也存在问题。本项目涉及一项旨在提高习惯逆转疗法有效性的提高意识和监测装置原型的试点研究。该设备包括手表、手镯、磁性项链和寻呼机,寻呼机是硬连线的,用于在发生拔头发行为时远程激活振动警报。在结构化诊断评估后,随机分配3名女性参与者,在没有器械的情况下进行不同时间长度的初步观察,然后在器械就位的情况下进行观察。结果表明,当该装置就位时,震颤狂行为显著减少。半结构化访谈显示,该设备是非常有效的,在提高认识和监测的相关行为和热情接受的设备提供的所有参与者。
Trichotillomania is an impairing condition that involves repetitive hair pulling. Habit reversal therapy is helpful for many persons with this disorder. Unfortunately, habit reversal therapy is not helpful for everyone and maintenance of gains is often problematic. Successful habit reversal therapy requires the individual to be aware of hair pulling and handling. Unfortunately, most people with trichotillomania report that much of their plucking occurs outside of awareness. Monitoring of trichotillomania behaviors is also problematic. The present project involved a pilot study of a prototype awareness enhancing and monitoring device aimed at increasing the effectiveness of habit reversal therapy. The device included a watch, bracelet, magnetic necklace, and a pager that was hard-wired for remote activation of a vibrating alert when hair pulling behaviors occurred. Following structured diagnostic assessment, three female participants were randomly assigned to be initially observed for varied lengths of time without the device followed by observation with the device in place. The results indicated a marked reduction in trichotillomania behaviors when the device was in place. Semi-structured interviews revealed that the device was very effective in enhancing awareness and monitoring of trichotillomania related behaviors and enthusiastic acceptance of the device was provided by all participants.
