Filter by:Background: Researchers think that people s mental health and behavior will be very affected by the steps taken to slow the spread of COVID-19, such as social distancing. Also, the threat of disease and death, to people and their loved ones, can cause much stress. Researchers want to learn more about these stressors and how they are affecting people. Objective: To study the relationship of affective, cognitive, and behavioral responses to stressors related to COVID-19 with neuroimaging and behavioral data collected before COVID-19. Eligibility: English-speaking adults age 18 and older Design: This online study will include both new participants and those who have taken part in past National Institute of Mental Health studies. All will complete the same surveys and tasks. Participants will give their name and email address. They will get a username and password. The file that links their username to their personal data will be kept secure. Participants will complete a set of surveys about the following: - Sociodemographic data, such age, race, and income - Education and work status - Mental and medical illness and treatment - Family medical history - Mood - COVID-19 experience - Anxiety - Substance and alcohol use - Attention control - Other mental health related topics. Participants will complete a finger-tapping task. For this, they will press a key a certain number of times in a limited period. They will get to practice the task. After the task, they will complete a survey about it. It will take about 1 hour to complete the surveys and the task. About 8 months later, participants will be contacted to repeat the surveys and task. Compensation is provided.
This study seeks to investigate the levels of parental stress across different demographic subgroups in the general parental population during the strict social distancing government-initiated non-pharmacological interventions (NPI's) related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also seeks to examine the predictors of parental stress rates related to these non-pharmacological interventions (NPI's). In addition, the research will investigate the association between parental stress associated and psychopathology symptoms (i.e., depression and generalized anxiety). The aim of the project is to: - Inform the policymakers, the general public, scientists, and health practitioners about the psychological associations of the COVID-19-related government-initiated measures on parental stress, with special focus on the school and kindergarten lockdowns. - Provide a foundation for policymakers and health-care professionals to employ interventions that protect families against possibly increased psychological stressors. - Help policymakers and healthcare professionals to better understand the association of demographic variables and other predictors on parental stress and parent-child dysfunction, which information necessary for evaluating the psychological impact of NPIs on parental stress and thus the framework under which decisions about school/kindergarten lockdowns are made.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The Danish Lung Association estimates that 320,000 Danes live with COPD, of which approximately 50,000 with severe COPD. In 2017, records showed that 23,979 admissions in Denmark were related to COPD; of these patients, about 20% were readmitted 2-30 days after discharge. The main symptom is dyspnea, which is often accompanied by anxiety. Primary treatment is; oxygen, bronchiolitis, prednisolone, morfin, NIV, and anxiolytics. Researchers at Hvidovre Hospital have developed an oxygen robot that continuously monitors the patient's SaO2 (oxygen saturation) and automatically administrates the oxygen depending on it. The preliminary results show that patients with robot-administrated oxygen were within defined SaO2 range in 85.7% of the time versus 46.6% when oxygen was nurse-administrated. The research was conducted as a multicentre Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)focusing on physiological end-points. There is a lack of knowledge about the patient perspective of treatment with the oxygen robot. The purpose of this study is: 1. To examine the association between robot-administered oxygen and patients' perception of dyspnoea, including the emotional response in the form of anxiety and depression The perspective is to be able to provide a holistic response to whether robot administered oxygen can be a better method of treating and alleviating dyspnoea.
Electroneuromyography (ENMG) is a regular neurological investigation that might be painful or unpleasant. Medical hypnosis can avoid these sensations, and is more and more performed during other medico-technical procedures (radiology, biopsies for example). This study aims at evaluate the effect of medical hypnosis on pain and anxiety during ENMG, in patients presenting with anxiety. Our hypothesis is that the anxiety and pain during ENMG will be lower in patients with hypnosis compared to patients with standard care. This will allow us to help patients with this tool during most ENMG procedures, and extend it to other electrophysiological procedures in the future.
This interventional study will investigate the effect of daily use of a mindfulness app on measures of participant anxiety, well-being, and future outlook during the Covid-19 pandemic, by comparing pre-intervention survey responses to post-intervention survey responses.
The goal of MEM-ASA is to investigate the prevalence of anxiety/depression, sleep disturbances and alcohol use disorder in elderly with cognitive complaints. In memory clinics of Normandy (France), all patients aged over 50 year-old are systematically questioned about anxiety, depression, sleep quality and alcohol use disorder. They also perform a neuropsychological assessment. Questionnaires are given to the patient and his/her caregiver to be filled in at home. Levels of anxiety/depression, sleep quality and alcohol consumption are related to neuropsychological performance, diagnosis and responses to the questionaires.
The outbreak of the 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is a major stressor leading to increased levels of anxiety, and specifically, an excessive fear of being infected and affected by the disease among major parts of the population. At the same time, the access to mental health services is limited due to the lockdown policy applied in many countries worldwide, warranting the development of home-delivered interventions aimed at reducing stress and anxiety symptoms. Attention Bias modification (ABM) has been found to be an efficacious computerized intervention to reduce anxiety symptoms. In this open pilot trial, participants reporting on elevated levels of health anxiety concerning the COVID-19 epidemic will receive one session of ABM over 5 consecutive days (5 sessions total). Symptoms of health anxiety, state anxiety, generalized anxiety, and depression will be measured at baseline and post-treatment.
The main purpose of this study is to assess the tolerance of the virtual environment in the elderly living in a nursing home (EHPAD). It will be evaluated by the cybersickness collection after each session (1 session every other day for a total of 3 sessions).
The main goal of this study is assess the effectiveness of a PtDA for patients with GAD.
This study was carried out to determine the effect of listening to music and acupressure application in reducing pain and anxiety during gynecological examination.
