Tuhan Ada di Mana-mana: Mencari Makna bagi Korban Bencana di Indonesia
Authors: Siahaya Johannis , Siahaya Karel Martinus , Rinukti Nunuk
Published: July 2021

The phenomenon of natural disasters has been felt in recent years and has become a global concern. This concern occurs because, the intensity of natural disasters that are increasingly frequent in various parts of the world lately, taking many victims both human, property, and other lives. Religions (including the church), however, have an essential calling and responsibility in dealing with the problem of the victims of the disaster. However, today's reality shows that religions (as well as internal church) are still involved and struggling in classical debates about teachings (dogma) about who God is: about his name, which God or religion is true, or what God teaches in which religion or church which is considered correct.

Fenomena bencana alam sangat terasa dalam beberapa tahun terakhir sampai-sampai menjadi perhatian dunia. Hal ini terjadi karena, intensitas benca-na alam yang semakin sering terjadi di berbagai belahan dunia termasuk di Indonesia akhir-akhir ini, bahkan mengakibatkan banyak korban yang berja-tuhan, selain kehilangan harta benda. Melihat fenomena ini gereja memiliki panggilan dan tanggung jawab yang hakiki dalam dalam menangani korban bencana tersebut. Namun, realitas yang terjadi adalah Agama-agama lain bahkan gereja masih saja terlibat dalam berbagai perdebatan mengenai siapa Tuhan itu, mengenai nama-Nya, Agama mana yang benar, ataupun ajaran Tuhan dari agama atau gereja mana yang dianggap benar.
Keluarga dan Pendidikan Karakter: Menggali Implikasi Nilai-nilai Hausetafel dalam Efesus 6:1-9
Authors: Patty Febby Nancy , Wenno Vincent Kalvin , Toisuta Fiona Anggraini
Published: July 2021

The moral crisis in Christian families due to globalization has resulted in the loss of the function of the Christian family in society. This results in the shift in family values to be replaced by individualist, consumerist, and hedonistic values. This article describes the concept of family (hausetafel) in the letters of Ephesians and Colossians. The author uses a historical socio interpretation, to search for and find the meaning of the two epistles. The results of the interpretation show that the two epistles are very rich related to family and moral values (character). The meaning cannot be separated from its socio-historical and cultural context. Some of the values contained include the revelation of Christ in and through the family, love as the basis for binding family members, the family as a basis for character education, equality relations. The family image becomes a model for church life.

Abstrak

Krisis moral yang terjadi di tengah keluarga Kristen akibat globalisasi, mengakibatkan hilangnya fungsi keluarga Kristen di tengah masyarakat. Hal tersebut mengakibatkan bergesernya nilai-nilai keluarga digantikan dengan nilai-nilai individualis, konsumerisme, hedonistik. Artikel ini memuat tentang konsep keluarga (hausetafel) dalam surat Efesus 6:1-9. Penulis menggunakan penafsiran sosio historis, untuk mencari dan menemukan makna atau nilai kekeluargaan menurut pemikiran Paulus. Hasil penafsiran menunjukkan bahwa penguatan nilai-nilai keluarga tidak lepas dari konteks sosio-historis dan kulturalnya yang yang didominasi oleh pola-pola relasi kekuasaan yakni patron-klien yang ber-dampak pada kehidupan persekutuan umat. Sehingga perlu adanya penguatan moral dan karakter yang berdasar pada nilai-nilai kekeluargaan. Beberapa nilai haustafel yang menonjol dalam perikop ini yakni nilai kebenaran, kasih dan ketaatan, penghormatan, nilai persaudaraan, bersikap adil dan hidup setara yang selanjutnya menjadi model bagi kehidupan gereja maupun kekristenan.
Kebertahanan Janda Kristen Batak Toba dalam Hidup Menjanda Setelah Cerai Mati dan Cerai Hidup

Published: July 2021

The reality of the persistence of the Toba Batak Christian widows indicates a different habitus to that of most other widows who tend to remarry. This paper aims to determine the habitus that underlies the survival of Toba Batak Christian widows after divorce and divorce by using the theoretical framework or the habitus concept of Pierre Bourdiau. While the research method used in this study is a feminist qualitative research method that emphasizes women as the subject/center of research. Furthermore, it was found that the persistence of Toba Batak Christian widow women to live as widows was related to their habitus as women who have to be strong, hard-working, independent, and tough to support their children. This habitus is obtained from several dimensions of social capital. First, the cultural value of anakonki do hamo-raon diau (children are the most valuable treasure). Second, religious values, namely surrender and surrender of life to God by diligently praying and active-ly worshiping in churches and third, family values in the form of moral and material support from the closest family. This habitus creates a new image that the Toba Batak Christian widow is a hardworking, independent, and strong woman.

Abstrak

Realitas kebertahanan janda Kristen Batak Toba menjanda meng-isyaratkan habitus yang berbeda dengan habitus kebanyakan janda lain yang berkecenderungan menikah kembali. Tulisan ini bertujuan mengetahui habitus yang mendasari kebertahanan janda Kristen Batak Toba menjanda pasca cerai mati dan cerai hidup dengan menggunakan kerangka teori atau konsep habitus Pierre Bourdiau. Sedangkan metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam studi ini adalah metode penelitian kualitatif feminis yang menekankan perempuan seba-gai subyek/sentral penelitian. Selanjutnya, diperoleh bahwa kebertahanan pe-rempuan janda Kristen Batak Toba untuk hidup menjanda ternyata berkaitan dengan habitus mereka sebagai perempuan yang harus kuat, pekerja keras, mandiri dan tangguh menghidupi anak-anaknya. Habitus ini diperoleh dari beberapa dimensi modal sosial. Pertama, nilai budaya anakonki do hamoraon diau (anak adalah harta yang paling berharga). Kedua, nilai religius yaitu berserah dan penyerahan hidup pada Tuhan dengan tekun berdoa dan aktif beribadah di gereja dan ketiga, nilai keluarga berupa dukungan moril dan materiil dari keluarga terdekat. Habitus ini menumbuhkan pencitraan baru bahwa janda Kristen Batak Toba merupakan sosok perempuan pekerja keras, mandiri dan kuat

This research is based on the low interest in student learning towards teaching and learning activities through online. Because there is a limited knowledge of students who are not sensitive to technology and information, some students complain because of the difficulty in accessing this online learning. Even so, there are several learning applications that are free, but because of the low interest in students learning about learning applications and because of a lack of understanding of how to use them, here the researchers conducted student observations of online learning via WhatsApp. The purpose of this study was to determine how much influence the increase in online learning via WhatsApp on student interest in learning. This research is a collaborative classroom action research between the researcher, the teacher as the subject giving action and the students as the recipient of the action. This research was conducted at MA Hasannah in class X MIPA, with 13 students. The data collection method used by researchers is in the form of filling out a questionnaire using google form, while the research instrument is the questions that are presented on the questionnaire filling sheet on the google form. In this study it can be concluded that there is low student interest in online learning so that it affects student learning outcomes, so the solution is to use the WhatsApp application in online learning.

Authors: Yusup Chendi Maulana Baharudin , Dewi Dinie Anggraeni
Published: July 2021

This study aims to improve nationalist character education for students, especially in grade VI elementary schools. This type of research is qualitative research, which focuses on the implementation of naationalist character education in grade VI SD. Nationalist character education for elementary school children, especially in grade VI, is a process of fertilizing from an early age for them. In nationalist character education there are civic education subjects that teach the values contained in Pancasila and teach and educate students to become individuals who have habits of national character in their daily lives. Seeing the current condition of children, students have decreased in terms of implementing national character in their lives. Therefore, schools through civic education are expected to be able to train and educate students so that students have a nationalist attitude in their lives. A nationalist attitude is an understanding attitude that has cultural and regional harmony. They also have the same ideals and goals so that they feel the desire to defend their country, both from internal and external threats.

Differential expression of versican in human epithelial ovarian cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2021

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding versican, VCAN, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. VCAN expression was significantly higher in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. VCAN expression correlated with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of VCAN is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. VCAN may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.

Introduction to the Special Issue: Parenting and Family Dynamics in Times of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Weeland Joyce , Keijsers Loes , Branje Susan
Published: July 2021

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic brought about worldwide challenges and had a profound impact on family dynamics, relationships and routines. At the same time, the impact may differ largely due to regional differences in the numbers of infections and severity of preventive measures, as well as individual and contextual risk and protective factors. The aims of this special issue were therefore to (1) provide insight into the impact of the pandemic on the family system and (2) increase our understanding of how this impact may differ between families. This special issue consists of 13 original empirical studies that show how the pandemic affected families across different levels of the family system. At first sight, it seems that many families were able to cope relatively well with the stressors. Yet, for others the demands of the pandemic and pandemic-related measures seemed to exceed their capabilities and available resources. Importantly, the studies in this special issue suggest that the pandemic disproportionally affected children, caregivers and families who were already at risk. Together, the contributions to the special issue offer knowledge on the consequences of both the pandemic and preventive measures on family functioning. At the same time it also raises questions on the long-term impact of the pandemic and its impact on families who are currently underrepresented in empirical research.
Using synthetic data to improve the reproducibility of statistical results in psychological research
Authors: Grund Simon , Lüdtke Oliver , Robitzsch Alexander
Published: July 2021

In recent years, psychological research has faced a credibility crisis, and open data are often regarded as an important step toward a more reproducible psychological science. However, privacy concerns are among the main reasons that prevent data sharing. Synthetic data procedures, which are based on the multiple imputation (MI) approach to missing data, can be used to replace sensitive data with simulated values, which can be analyzed in place of the original data. One crucial requirement of this approach is that the synthesis model is correctly specified. In this article, we investigated the statistical properties of synthetic data with a particular emphasis on the reproducibility of statistical results. To this end, we compared conventional approaches to synthetic data based on MI with a data-augmented approach (DA-MI) that attempts to combine the advantages of masking methods and synthetic data, thus making the procedure more robust to misspecification. In multiple simulation studies, we found that the good properties of the MI approach strongly depend on the correct specification of the synthesis model, whereas the DA-MI approach can provide useful results even under various types of misspecification. This suggests that the DA-MI approach to synthetic data can provide an important tool that can be used to facilitate data sharing and improve reproducibility in psychological research. In a worked example, we also demonstrate the implementation of these approaches in widely available software, and we provide recommendations for practice.
Why does social essentialism sometimes promote, and other times mitigate, prejudice development? A causal discounting perspective
Authors: Peretz-Lange Rebecca
Published: July 2021

Children often hold “essentialist” intuitions about social categories, viewing them as reflecting people’s intrinsic essences or biological natures. This intuition promotes prejudice development (e.g., race- and gender-based prejudices). However, emerging research reveals that essentialism also mitigates prejudice development (e.g., weight- and sexuality-based prejudices). Why do children’s essentialist views sometimes promote prejudice, and other times mitigate it? I propose that causal discounting may account for these distinct effects: Essentialism may promote prejudice by leading children to discount structural explanations (i.e., to reason that a group is low-status because of its personal deficiencies rather than its structural disadvantages), but it may mitigate prejudice by leading children to discount agentic explanations (i.e., to reason that a group was “born that way” rather than choosing to be that way). Thus, the consequences of essentialism may reflect both the explanations children endorse as well as those they discount. Cognitive, developmental, and social implications are discussed.
“I know it's bad but I have been pressured into it”: Questionable research practices among psychology students in Canada
Authors: Moran Chelsea , Richard Alexandra , Wilson Kate , Twomey Rosemary , Coroiu Adina
Published: July 2021

Questionable research practices (QRPs) have been identified as a driving force of the replication crisis in the field of psychological science. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and reasons for QRP use among psychology students in Canadian universities. Participants were psychology students attending Canadian universities recruited via online advertising and email invitations. Respondents were asked how often they and others engaged in seven QRPs, to estimate the proportion of psychology research impacted by each QRP and how acceptable they found each QRP. Data were collected through Likert-scale survey items and open-ended text responses between May 2020 and January 2021, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. 425 psychology students completed the survey (40% undergraduate, 59% graduate, 1% post-doctoral fellows). Overall, 64% of participants reported using at least one QRP, while 79% reported having observed others engaging in at least one QRP. The most frequently reported QRPs were p-hacking (46%), not submitting null results for publication (31%) and excluding outcome measures (30%). These QRPs were also the most frequently observed in others, estimated to be the most prevalent in the field, and rated as the most acceptable. Qualitative findings revealed that students are aware of external pressures that promote QRP use and offered several ideas for alternatives and solutions. The results of this study highlight the need to examine the pedagogical standards and cultural norms in academia that may promote or normalize QRPs in psychological science.
Evaluation of Contamination and Accumulation of Heavy Metals in the Dhaleswari River Sediments, Bangladesh
Authors: Mamun Abdullah Al , Sarker Protima , Rahaman Md. Shiblur , Kabir Mohammad Mahbub , Maruo Masahiro
Published: July 2021

The Dhaleswari river is considered as one of the most important rivers of Bangladesh due to its geographical location and ecological services. The present study attempts to evaluate the degree of heavy metal pollution, contamination, and accumulative behavior in  the sediment of the Dhaleswari river. The sediment samples were collected from fifteen different locations of the Dhaleswari river. Heavy metals were analyzed using the Flame Atomic Spectrophotometer (FAAS). The mean concentrations of Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb and Cd were 131.9, 48.89, 43.16, 33.23 and 0.37 mgkg-1, respectively. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Sediment Quality Guideline, the sediment of most of the locations were not polluted for Pb and Cd. But S-11 location for Cd (0.8 mg kg-1) was highly polluted. For Cr, Cu and Zn, maximum locations were moderately polluted. Although the geo-accumulation index (Igeo) values of Dhaleswari river sediments showed almost no severe contamination for most of the sampling locations, the pollution load index (PLI) values showed that most of the sampling sites were contaminated for all heavy metals tested. Moreover, for all measured heavy metals, the mean Contamination Factor (CF) values indicated moderate pollution, except for Cr, which suggested low pollution. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient matrix among the selected heavy metals of Dhaleswari river sediment showed no significant correlation among each other. Therefore, regular monitoring of the heavy metal concentration of the Dhaleshwari river sediment from different location is necessary to identify the sources of pollution so that proper initiative could be taken to prevent heavy metal pollution.
Status and Role of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) in Nepalese Livelihood
Authors: Chhetri Vivek Thapa , Shrestha Susmita , Thapa Sapana , Timilsina Sachin
Published: July 2021

Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs), a principal sub-component of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs), are undoubtedly an important source of revenue and rural employment. This review paper explores the current ecological and prioritized status of MAPs by the Government and the practical significance of MAPs in bodily health, lucrative employment to the Nepalese population, and revenue opportunities to the government based on 72 published articles from 1995 to 2021. The Department of Plant Resources (DPR) reported that the number of medicinal plant species has increased from 701 in 2007 to 819 in 2016 with 285 endemic plant species from 43 families, and 238 chemically tested MAPs species for medicinal significance. MAPs are highly prevalent within the 1000-2500m elevation gradient in Nepal. GoN has categorized 30 species for economic development, 12 species for cultivation and research, 12 species for protection, and 237 species for collecting royalties. Around 100 Nepalese NTFPs/MAPs are traded, but only 20 species accounts for 80% of the total trade in terms of volume and value. Nepal ranks 42nd with a value of $7.4 million and 62nd with a value of $3.3 million in exports of MAPs and essential oils, respectively, in 2017. About 80% of the Nepalese population relies on traditional medicine for basic health needs. The NTFPs/MAPs Business Promotion Strategy specifies 20 species for product promotion across Nepal. As current data are still lacking on different uses of MAPs in Nepalese society, this comprehensive review will facilitate herbal specialists, policymakers, scientific researchers, botanists, and various key stakeholders to assure better research and increase the export of MAPs in Nepal. Therefore, this study recommends public, private, and government- agencies to contribute to the infrastructure development through competitive "field-to-market" incentives and funding for the increment of the export of MAPs that directly improve the socio-economic status of the Nepalese people.
Barriers to and facilitators of South Asian immigrant adolescents’ access to sexual and reproductive health services in Canada: A qualitative study

Published: July 2021

Data on immigrant access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in Canada typically focus on adult populations generally but not adolescents specifically. To fill this gap, this study explored South Asian immigrant adolescents’ perceptions of barriers and facilitators for SRH care and services in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In this qualitative descriptive study, researchers conducted six focus group semi-structured interviews with South Asian immigrant adolescents who live in Edmonton, Canada. Barriers included fear of stigma and judgment, lack of information about the healthcare system, lack of privacy and youth-friendly SRH services, lack of comprehensive sexuality education, lack of trust of online SRH information, and language barriers. Facilitators included SRH information classes at school, parental support, and provision of free services. South Asian immigrant adolescents expressed their need for more inclusive and relevant sexual health education, more support from parents and teachers with adequate and evidence-based SRH information and effective communication strategies to enhance communication with adolescents, and more youth-driven integrated health promotion programs to allow them to make informed choices. Their voices and perspectives are useful in informing inclusive and youth-centered sexual health education at home, in school, and in the community.

Engaging Indigenous Artistic Process through Embodied Practice
Authors: Bonnell Yolanda , Dénommé-Welch Spy
Published: July 2021

This essay explores a variety of questions about embodied approaches to Indigenous storytelling, artistic process, and methodology, and the ways which they are taken up in the creation of new theatre work. By engaging in a discussion with Yolanda Bonnell, creator of the play bug, this article examines some of the implications of embodied storytelling and new play development. The article also considers how new Indigenous theatre works and performances at festivals such as SummerWorks can offer audiences entry points and sites for engaging difficult topics and issues that pertain to Indigenous/non-Indigenous relations. Further, the reader is invited into a discussion that teaches about an artist’s own process and methodology and how these are mobilized and activated through Indigenous storytelling, memory, and embodied practice.
“Room for Failure Was Abundant”
Authors: Seinen Jonathan
Published: July 2021

The SummerWorks Festival has provided the author with opportunities to move toward a theatre practice in which a non-hierarchical approach allows for accountable collaborations across difference alongside rigorous artistic experimentation. In this piece, the author analyzes experiences in a number of SummerWorks Festival productions between 2006 and 2017, weaving in the perspectives of a number of collaborating artists, tracing a development from a personal desire for community, through the facilitation of staging others' stories, toward a desire to speak to one's own culpabilities regarding the inequities of our society. This personal article parallels both reckonings in Canadian theatre around artistic accountability and ongoing conversations regarding responsible collaboration. The SummerWorks productions examined are You Like It. (2006), Still Life (2011), Unknown Soldier (2014), Like There's No Tomorrow (2015), Charisma Furs (2015), and Boys in Chairs/Access Me (2017).

Published: July 2021

How valuable is youth artistry in Toronto theatrical productions? How important is including diverse and under-represented youths at cornerstone theatre festivals like SummerWorks? What are the barriers to youth theatre? In our article, we explore these questions by examining the AMY (Artists Mentoring Youth) Project, which seeks to provide accessible performing arts training and creation programs to women and non-binary youth from equity-seeking communities. In addition to examining the relationship the mentors of the program have with the participants, we look at how vital youth representation is at SummerWorks. The AMY Project works to break down barriers that are often felt by youths in performing arts, and, as a result, young people produce socially engaging work that is well received and necessary to the festival and the Toronto theatre community.

One Homer, or Two? Some Suggested Stylistic Separators in the Homeric Poems
Authors: Podlecki A.J.
Published: July 2021

How many Homers (if any)? This is a question that has bedevilled professional Hellenists since the Alexandrian period. Luckily, such misgivings have not, in general, disquieted students or casual readers, who simply read, study, and enjoy the two lengthy epic poems traditionally ascribed to a composer or, if you lower the date a little, an author, to whom generations have given the name “Homer.” In 1955 the distinguished British Classicist D. L. Page delivered a set of lectures at Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania, entitled The Homeric Odyssey whose main thesis was that the two epics were composed in separate places ( a fortiori by different authors), independently of each other. My project in the study that follows is to examine more closely the stylistic features called into court by Page to attest to the separateness of the two works in respect of authorship. My ulterior motive is to look for explanations of the discrepancies Page claims to have found on a hypothesis other than separate authorship. Page’s linguistic “separators,” as they might be termed, fall into several categories: dialectal, the words used and especially those with the intensifying prefix ἐρι- “exceedingly”; morphological, e.g. datives plural with the short termination -οις vs. the long -οισι; metrical, the lengthening (or not) of naturally short vowels before mute + liquid or nasal; lexical, words, phrases and formular expressions that are favoured by the Iliad and which might be expected to occur also in the Odyssey but don’t, and vice versa, words and formular phrases found exclusively or predominantly in the Odyssey but which are rare in or totally absent from the Iliad.
Facts about adolescents from the Demographic and Health Survey—Statistical tables for program planning: Bangladesh 1996
Authors:   Population Council
Published: July 2021

The Population Council initiated its work on adolescents in the mid-1990s. At that time, those advocating greater attention to adolescent issues were concerned about adolescent fertility—particularly outside of marriage—and adolescent “risk-taking” behavior. As an international scientific organization with its mandate centered around the needs of developing countries, the Council sought a more nuanced and context-specific understanding of the problems confronting adolescents in the developing world. In working with colleagues inside and outside the Council, it became clear that information on adolescents, and the way data are organized, were limiting the ability to understand the diversity of their experiences or to develop programs to address that diversity. In the absence of data, many adolescent policies were implicitly based on the premise that the lives of adolescents in developing countries were like those of adolescents in Western countries. In fact, significant numbers of young people in the West do not fit this description, and even larger groups within the developing countries. The Council created tables to more clearly describe the diversity of the adolescent experience by drawing on Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey data. The tables, presented in this report, are intended to be used as a basis for developing programs.

In working with colleagues inside and outside the Council, it became clear that information on adolescents, and the way data are organized, were limiting the ability to understand the diversity of their experiences or to develop programs to address that diversity. In the absence of data, many adolescent policies were implicitly based on the premise that the lives of adolescents in developing countries were like those of adolescents in Western countries. In fact, significant numbers of young people in the West do not fit this description, and even larger groups within the developing countries. The Council created tables to more clearly describe the diversity of the adolescent experience by drawing on Benin Demographic and Health Survey data. The tables, presented in this report, are intended to be used as a basis for developing programs.

Authors: Wirawan Wirawan
Published: July 2021

This ethnographic study aimed to explore the interrelationship between Buddhist values and journalism practice in DAAI TV Indonesia. The findings were derived from the participatory observation inside the newsroom of DAAI TV from August to November 2019. Related informants were interviewed and several documents, such as photos and journalists’ handbook, were collected. The results revealed that Buddhism, especially which is taught by Master Cheng Yen as the founder of Tzu Chi, is reflected in the newsroom of DAAI TV. Furthermore, the journalism practice actualises the Buddhist-oriented journalism through sammāvācā (right speech), sammākammanta (right action), and sammāājiva (right livelihood). This study argues that DAAI TV has balanced the universal values of journalism to fit their own values.

Background: While most intervention studies conducted with dementia family caregivers have focused on depressive symptoms as the main outcome, no study has analyzed the effects of an intervention on comorbid clinical presentations of depressive and anxious symptomatology. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the association between clinical depressive and anxious symptomatology at baseline and treatment responses of dementia family caregivers using samples from two randomized intervention trials with the same pre-post design. Methods: Specifically, the effects on depressive and anxious comorbidity of three intervention conditions (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and a control group (CG)) were analyzed. Participants were 130 dementia family caregivers. In addition to sociodemographic variables, depressive and anxious symptomatology were measured. Results: Caregivers with clinical depressive and anxiety comorbid symptoms at baseline recovered less well from depressive symptoms after CBT (45.45%) and ACT (47.72%) interventions than caregivers with non-comorbidity (100% recovery in both treatments). No significant association between comorbidity and treatment responses on depression was found for the control group. Regarding anxiety, among participants with comorbidity at baseline, 36.36% of caregivers in CBT and 30.9 % in the ACT group recovered from anxiety symptoms after treatment, compared to 6.45% in the control group. Similar results were obtained regarding those caregivers who recovered both from clinical depressive and anxiety symptoms and showed comorbidity at baseline. Conclusion: Caregivers that show comorbid depressive and anxiety symptoms at baseline may benefit less from interventions than caregivers who do not show comorbidity.
