The research was conducted to examine the effect of solution focused approach on anger management and violent behavior in adolescents.
Studies on Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), in which criminal behaviors, aggression and anger behaviors are frequently seen, are very rare. Developed by Nosrat Peseschkian, positive psychotherapy is an eclectic therapy approach born from the psychodynamic approach, existential-humanist approach, behavioral approach and intercultural therapy approach. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a humanistic, psychodynamic, resource-focused, conflict-solving, integrative and intercultural approach that has its own unique intervention methods as well as the features of other therapy theories. In this study, it was aimed to determine the primary and secondary abilities of individuals with criminal and non-criminal antisocial personality disorder within the scope of positive psychotherapy, to compare these abilities with respect to healthy individuals, and to examine the effects on crime, aggression behavior and anger levels.
Hypothesis: 1. In patients with less than 4 high risk factors for reintubation excluding body mass index >30 and hypercapnia during the spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) (low and intermediate risk for extubation failure), who receive preventive therapy with high flow nasal cannula (HFNC), the use of SBT with "HIGH minimal ventilator settings" (PS 8 + PEEP 5 cm H2O Vs PS 5 + PEEP 0 cm H2O), increase the proportion of patients with simple weaning (extubation after the first SBT). 2. In patients with low and intermediate risk for extubation failure, who receive preventive therapy with HFNC, the use of Walsh screening criteria reduces the mechanical ventilation time compared with the use of Boles criteria. Study design: This is a multicenter randomized open trial with 4 arms. 1. Screening with PaO2/FiO2 > 180 and PEEP ≤ 10cm H2O; SBT with "HIGH minimal ventilator settings" (PS 8 + PEEP 5 cm H2O). 2. Screening with PaO2/FiO2 > 180 and PEEP ≤ 10 cm H2O; SBT with "LOW minimal ventilator settings" (PS 5 + PEEP 0 cm H2O). 3. Screening with PaO2/FiO2 ≥ 150 and PEEP ≤ 8 cm H2O; SBT with "HIGH minimal ventilator settings" (PS 8 + PEEP 5 cm H2O). 4. Screening with PaO2/FiO2 ≥ 150 and PEEP ≤ 8 cm H2O; SBT with "LOW minimal ventilator settings" (PS 5 + PEEP 0 cm H2O). Primary Outcome Measure: 1. - Percentage of first spontaneous breathing trial tolerated. 2. - Time on mechanical ventilation.
"Stop sexual harassment" is a school based intervention tailored to reduce sexual- and gendered harassment among pupils in secondary school. The first aim of this study is to test to what extent "Stop sexual harassment" reduces sexual harassment and harassment based on sexual orientation and gender expression (gendered harassment) among 8th to 10th grade pupils in secondary school. The second aim of the study is to test to what extent the intervention increases teachers' responses to sexual- and gendered harassment among pupils. The intervention consists of eight lessons which address the prevention of sexual- and gendered harassment. METHOD: A minimum 32 schools with at least 3840 pupils will participate in a cluster randomized controlled trial. Participating schools will be randomly assigned to intervention schools and control schools. At the intervention schools, teachers will be introduced to "Stop sexual harassment" through a digital course which will provide them with a manual containing eight lessons to be held for the pupils. At the control schools there will not be any intervention. The effects of the intervention on pupils will be determined by assessing their experiences with sexual and gendered harassment, and internalized and externalized problems prior to the intervention (T1), shortly after the intervention (T2) and six moths after the intervention (T3). The effects of the intervention on teachers will be determined by assessing the teachers' experiences of responding to sexual and gendered harassment among pupils. HYPOTHESIS: It is expected that the intervention "Stop sexual harassment" will lead to reduced sexual and gendered harassment perpetration and victimization, and less internalized and externalized problems among the pupils in secondary school, and that teachers will more frequently take action when sexual- and gendered harassment is encountered among the pupils.
We will recruit sexual and gender minority couples to complete 56 days of daily surveys in order to evaluate (1) the impact of COVID-19 stress and sexual and gender minority stress on heavy episodic drinking and intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration, and (2) a brief, mobile-phone delivered text messaging intervention to mitigate the effects of these stressors. This project has high potential to inform how pandemic stress contributes to etiological models of alcohol-related IPV perpetration in sexual and gender minority couples and inform a culturally-sensitive, low burden, and easy to disseminate intervention to mitigate these effects critical during a pandemic when access to care is limited.
This study evaluates whether tumors present in patients with cancer who are planned to get CAR T-cells have low amounts of oxygen (hypoxia). PET scans may be used to check the amounts of oxygen within areas of cancer with a special radioactive tracer called FAZA that specifically looks for areas of low oxygen. This study is being done to help researchers determine how the amount of oxygen within areas of cancer affect how well CAR T-cells kill cancer cells.
Equine-assisted interventions (EAI) are an emerging form of alternate psychotherapy that has been increasingly found to produce improvements in various treatment outcomes. However, the paucity of randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) in the EAI literature prevents any definitive conclusions to be made about the general effectiveness of EAI. This study tests whether one form of EAI, Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP), reduces aggression and alters risk factors associated with aggression in young adults, and whether emotion regulation mediates any effect of EAP on aggression. In a single-blind RCT, undergraduate students will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, an active-control group, or a placebo-control group. Participants in the intervention group will undergo a 5-week EAP program consisting of structured, interactive activities with horses followed by a clinical processing component. Participants in the active control group will undergo a 5-week program that only involves interactions with horses without any clinical input (i.e. commonly coined as animal-assisted activities). Participants in the placebo-control group will undergo 5 weeks of 1-hour movie sessions related to horses. There will be three waves of data collection measuring key outcome variables - t1 before the 1st session, t2 after the 3rd session, and t3 after the final session. Participants will complete questionnaires assessing the key outcomes of aggression, emotional well-being and academic performance. Other risk factors of antisocial behaviour such as psychopathy, level of empathy, emotion regulation and executive functioning will also be measured. To the author's knowledge, the current study is the first in Singapore to investigate if EAP can lower aggression levels and alter psychological risk factors for aggression in healthy young adults. In turn, these results could help inform the utility and validity of EAP in the forensic populations.
Aggressive behaviour among adolescents is a social problem that can be reduced by social problem-solving interventions. However, these interventions usually include more than one technique, and the specific techniques that are effective in reducing and preventing aggression remain to be identified. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to test whether the instruction and practice of problem-solving on their own are effective in changing aggressive behaviour among adolescents. As the intervention in this trial is aimed at the general population, it will be delivered online. The rapid growth in the use of the Internet among young people provides an opportunity to deliver interventions universally in a cheap and efficient way. Problem-solving skills are fundamental to effective behaviour change. Therefore, problem-solving skills will be measured to assess whether they mediate the effect of the intervention on aggressive behaviour. Finally, young people with callous-unemotional traits are less likely to change their problematic behaviour such as aggression after an intervention. Therefore, Callous-Unemotional traits will be measured to assess if they act as a moderator of effectiveness. It is expected that participants randomised to the intervention improve their problem-solving skills and consequentially, reduce their aggressive behaviours. In addition, participants with lower callous-unemotional traits are expected to have a greater change.
