Pain and anxiety levels experienced during labour are important factors affecting mother and baby health. An indicator that affects these factors is the levels of hormones that special for birth in the mother's blood. The application of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a nonpharmacological method that midwives can apply and determining the effect on these factors will be a guide for the future applications. The research will be conducted between 20 March 2020 and 10 March 2021 at the Adana Seyhan State Hospital of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkiye. The universe will be formed by the all pregnant women who are accepted to give birth to the birth room of the named hospital. The number of normal births in the relevant hospital in 2019 is 5979 per year. Power analysis was done with Gpower 3.1 for the number of samples. Báez-Suárez et al. Based on his study, the standard deviation of the pain scale was found as 1.48 and it was determined that at least 25 pregnant women per group with %5 error and %90 strength would be sufficient. It was planned to conduct a study with 28 pregnant women per group, with an increase in the sample size by %10, with the prospect of possible employment. One hundred and twelve pregnant women selected among pregnant women will be divided into 4 groups using a simple randomisation method and a random sequence will be created. Active transcuteneous electrical nerve stimulation at different doses will be applied to the two groups and the third group will be set as a placebo group. In the active phases of labour, active trancutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, which is adjusted to the first group of the pregnant women with a cervical aperture of at least 4 cm, modified biphasic asymmetric pulseand it was set to a pulse width of 100 μs and a frequency of 100 Hz (1). In the active transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation second group, it emitted an asyymetric, balanced, biphasic square waveform at a mixed stimulating frequency that randomly varied between 80 and 100 Hz, and it had a pulse duration of 350 μs (2) will be applied for 30 minutes. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation electrodes will be connected to the placebo group and 30 minutes will be waited without electric application. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation electrodes will be connected to the control group and 30 minutes will be waited without electric application. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation will be connected to the spinal cord in parallel with the levels of T10-L1 and S2-4 with two adhesive electrodes. Before and after transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation application to pregnant women, hormon levels, visual analogue scale (VAS), pain assessment, state worry scale for anxiety assessment will be performed. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 20.0 program will be used in the analysis of the data. Birth pain is one of the most common types of pain. Various studies have been conducted on whether or not birth pain can be effectively reduced with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation application. However, no study evaluating the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation application at different frequencies during delivery as a placebo controlled and double blind experimental study in terms of perception of birth pain, anxiety, hormon levels such as endrophin, oxytocin and cortisol was not found. Therefore, this study will be conducted as a randomised controlled experimental study to evaluate the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on birth pain, endorphine level, anxiety and satisfaction during delivery.
Emotional disorders (anxiety and/or depression) are severely undiagnosed and untreated despite being among the most common mental disorders, particularly at a young age. Half of all mental disorders begin by age 14; three-quarters by age 24, which makes adolescence a particularly crucial stage. In adolescence, prodromal signs of mental disorders and even full-blown clinical conditions often remain undetected, undiagnosed and untreated. However, there is an absence of evidence-based protocols to reach at-risk youth for developing emotional disorders. There is an urgent need for a paradigm shift by developing intervention protocols to early identify and treat at-risk adolescents, thus preventing them from developing severe mental disorders later on in life. Mental health selective prevention is key to helping at-risk adolescents thrive before emotional disorder evolves. To cover this gap, PROCARE is conceptualized as a modularized selective preventive programme for adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. Using personalized medicine approach, PROCARE will allow to tailor intervention protocols according to the particular needs of an individual, but also to identify vulnerable people according to risk factors. Adolescents will be stratified based on risk and resilience status and allocated to a 3-arm intervention trial, delivered as a group, face-to-face or telehealth format, depending on Covid19 restrictions imposed by government. By the very first time, PROCARE as selective intervention for at-risk adolescents will deliver specific add-on modules to tackle risk factors evidenced by adolescents, along with a core intervention. The PROCARE protocol aims to reduce the effect of risk factors and enhance protective factors that will eventually lead to lasting positive effects for adolescents. PROCARE will combine quantitative analysis, with special attention to vulnerable groups in a sex/gender disaggregated way. The PROCARE project is expected to have a far impact ultimately contributing to preventing and reducing the prevalence of mental disorders in the young. The outcomes of PROCARE will contribute to identifying and treating adolescents at risk for emotional mental at an early stage, before they incur personal, societal and economic cost. PROCARE will be culturally-adapted and implemented as a multicenter Randomized-Controlled Trial (RCT). PROCARE will be designed to be an acceptable, scalable, and sustainable selective prevention program.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy virtual reality videos to facilitate exposure therapy in social anxiety disorder (SAD). The exposure therapy videos are the focus of this experiment. Essentially, we are testing the efficacy of the Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) scripts (i.e., virtual scenarios, people, and interactions that we expose socially anxious people to). To this end, the goal of the current study is to help people with social anxiety overcome their phobias. Individuals who experience a difficult time building social relationships, accomplishing everyday tasks, or pursuing job interviews can practice those same behaviors in a controlled environment. Specifically, we aim to test the following hypotheses: (1) Virtual reality exposure therapy intervention (vs. waitlist control condition) is effective for treating SAD symptoms. (2) Participants who received the VRET will experience maintenance of treatment gains following 3-month and 6-month post-termination of treatment. (3) Users of the virtual reality exposure therapy will demonstrate high amounts of acceptability of the treatment.
It is well-known that pre-operative education has a positive effect on patient recovery. This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of structured education given by a multidisciplinary team (surgeon, anesthesiologist, and nurse) on pain, anxiety, and activities of daily living in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
This randomized controlled study evaluates the effect of acupressure application on the anxiety level of senior nursing students.The hypothesis of this study is that acupressure reduces anxiety levels.
Buzzy, shot-blocker, distraction cards, and balloon blowing can reduce fear and pain during the intramuscular intervention in the pediatric emergency service unit. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of virtual reality, manual pressure vibration technique, and cold vibration device application on procedure-related pain, fear, and anxiety during intramuscular antibiotics in children aged 5-12 years in the pediatric emergency department.
In the planned study, it was aimed to examine the effect of tele-education offered in the postpartum period in the covid 19 pandemic on the levels of depression, attachment and anxiety of women.
The aim of this study is to compare, in cost-effectiveness and cost-utility terms, a brief transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioural therapy in two different modes, individual and group, with the treatment usually administered in primary care (TAU). Participants between 18 and 65 years old and with, according to the pretreatment evaluation, mild to moderate emotional disorders will be randomly allocated to the three clusters. They will be assessed again immediately after treatment and 6 and 12 months later. The study hypotheses expect to find (H1) the individual treatment generally as effective as the group one, whereas (H2) the TAU will be the least effective. (H3) The group therapy is expected to get the best results in terms of cost-effectiveness and (H4) the TAU will get the worst cost-effectiveness results. Furthermore, (H5) it is expected to find these results across the follow-up assessments too.
RATIONALE: Exercise may improve the mood and cognition in young people. PURPOSE: It has been well-known that physical exercise can generally benefit the mental health. However, most evidences that physical exercise improves psychiatric symptoms come from retrospective or cross-sectional studies. Moreover, the studies on the effect of physical exercise in the young adults' mental health were limited. This randomized-controlled trial aims to determinate the effects of a chronic and aerobic exercise on the mood and cognition of young people.
