Filter by:Objective The aim of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of an internet-based cognitive-behavioural intervention for stress-related disorders integrating work-related aspects (W-iCBT), compared with a generic iCBT and a waitlist control group (WLC). Method In this trial, 182 employees, mainly employed in the healthcare, IT or educational sector, who fulfilled the criteria for a stress-related disorder, were randomized to a 10-week W-iCBT (n=61), generic iCBT (n=61) or WLC (n=60). Self-rated questionnaires on perceived stress, burnout, exhaustion and other mental-health and work-related outcomes were administered pre- and post-treatment, and at a six- and 12-months follow-up. Results Compared to WLC, participants of the W-iCBT and iCBT showed equal and significant reduction on the primary outcome (SMBQ) from pre to post assessment (d=1.00 and 0.83 respectively) and at the six months follow-up (d=0.74 and 0.74). Significant moderate-to-large effect sizes were also found on the secondary health and work-related outcomes. The W-iCBT was the only group who exhibited significant effects on work ability and sickness absence. Sickness absence was 445 days (7.29 days per participant) lower compared to the WLC and 324 days (5.31 days per participant) compared to the iCBT intervention. However, no significant differences were found on work experience or long-term sick leave. Conclusion The work-focused and generic iCBT interventions proved to be superior and equally effective compared to the control condition in reducing chronic stress and several other mental health related symptoms. Interestingly, effects on work ability and sickness absence were only seen between the work-focused iCBT intervention and the WLC. These preliminary results are promising, as they provide further evidence that treatments that integrate work-aspects has great potential in accelerating both recovery and reduce sickness absence due to stress-related disorders.
This randomized, controlled pilot trial evaluated the efficacy of a brief internet-based recovery training intervention targeting distressed employees. This pilot trial is one of the first to examine a brief recovery training program's efficacy, suggesting that employees across a wide range of professions could learn how to recover from elevated stress symptoms. This type of accessible and brief recovery intervention might shape the future of stress prevention, but more research is needed with larger samples before further conclusions can be drawn.
This study is a large population-based analysis in the United Kingdom (UK) using routine primary care data to investigate the risk of mental health conditions in children, adolescents and young adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, compared to those without Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The study will also compare the impacts on quality-of-life outcomes and use of healthcare services between people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease with and without mental health conditions.
The investigators propose to examine a mismatch-based method of reconsolidation blockade for the treatment of psychological trauma in military personnel and Federal police officers. The standard reconsolidation blockade treatment (aka Reconsolidation Therapy) involves reactivating the trauma memory while under the influence of propranolol. The mismatch method of Reconsolidation Therapy will involve varying the contexts in which the weekly trauma memory retrieval will occur. This study will involve 10 visits (eligibility assessment, treatments, and follow-up visits) over a 6-month period for each participant. Treatments will be conducted once a week for a six-week period where the participant will take a dose of propranolol (or a placebo pill) 60 minutes prior to memory reactivation. The investigators hypothesize that reconsolidation blockade treatment will be as effective in treating PTSD among military personnel and Federal police officers, with the mismatch condition showing greater symptom improvement.
This cohort study is a large population-based study in the UK to determine the risks of comorbid mental health conditions (including depression, anxiety and other potential psychological complications of vitiligo) in adults with vitiligo compared to controls and to evaluate whether the relative risks may vary by different ethnicity.
In this multicenter study, the investigators want to find out if an addition of an diagnostic assessment and possibility of treatment with guided self-help CBT can increase the treatment effects of PCBH on patient functioning and symptoms, compared to standard PCBH which uses contextual assessment and brief interventions. In addition to this, the study will investigate the overall effect of PCBH on both patient and organisation level outcomes.
Stress-related mental illness is common and one of the main causes of sick leave in Sweden. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a promising treatment, but access to treatment is low. In a previously conducted study, we found that internet-based CBT in comparison to a waitlist control group was effective in reducing symptoms of stress. The aim of the present study is to take the next step and compare Internet-based CBT for stress-related disorders to an active control condition.
The purpose of this study is to collect patients' experiences and feedback to better understand and improve mental health care using telehealth services. This is critically important as telehealth appointments, including both phone and video calls, continue to be offered for regular appointments to reduce in-person interaction as a preventive measure to help control the spread of COVID-19. Studying patients' perceived benefits and challenges of using telehealth services for mental health care will allow us to prioritize improvements to the telehealth experience and potentially, patient adoption of and comfort with remote appointments. This study's results would also inform policy makers and insurance companies about the potential utility of delivering mental health care through telehealth, even beyond the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This placebo-controlled clinical study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of administration of PH94B nasal spray four times per day as a treatment of Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety symptoms in adults. Subject participation in the Study will last a total of 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the duration of the screening period and whether they need a washout of concomitant anxiolytics. Upon signing an investigation review board approved informed consent, all subjects will complete Visit 1 (Screening) and enter a screening period lasting 7 to 35 days that could include taper of concomitant anxiolytics, if necessary. Screening visit will consist of safety assessments (medical history, physical examination, laboratory samples, electrocardiogram, urine drug screen, and urine pregnancy test [if appropriate]) and psychiatric assessments to determine eligibility. Subjects will then return to complete Visit 2 (Baseline). If the subject continues to meet inclusion and exclusion criteria, the subject will be randomized 1:1 to PH94B or placebo. Subjects will then commence 4 weeks of double-blind treatment with randomized investigational product (PH94B or placebo) four times per day. Subjects will return for weekly site visits (Visits 3, 4, 5, and 6), in which the subject will return the vial dispensed at the previous visit and receive a new vial, except at Visit 6 in which no new vial will be dispensed. Changes in AEs and concomitant medications will be collected. During these visits, psychiatric scales will be completed. When the subject returns for Visit 6, besides the assessments completed at Visits 3 through 5, the subjects will complete a brief physical examination, electrocardiogram, laboratory tests (chemistry and blood), and urinalysis. Any remaining IP vials will be collected. The subject will then come back after a one week washout period for Follow-up visit (Visit 7).
The study evaluates the effects of the Mindfulness Training for Primary Care (MTPC) Portuguese-adapted version on heart rate variability during a demanding cognitive task. The study also evaluates the effects on mental health, quality of life, self-regulation and behavior outcomes. The study will also complete the MTPC cultural adaptation process for Brazilian culture.
