Filter by:Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is efficacious for anxiety disorders and depression, but not all patients achieve remission, and dropout is considerable. Motivational interviewing (MI) may strengthen motivation to change, and influence non-response and dropout. Research shows that MI as a pretreatment to CBT produces moderate effects compared to CBT alone. Studies integrating MI with CBT (MI-CBT) throughout treatment are scarce. The present study explored the feasibility of MI-CBT in routine psychiatric care, and compared CBT alone to MI-CBT for anxiety disorders, depression, and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. The Anxiety, Depression, Diet, Alcohol, Physical activity, and Tobacco (ADDAPT) feasibility study had a randomized controlled design, and data were analyzed using hierarchical regression.
Preoperative anxiety affects 40 to 60% of children. A literature review concluded that effective preparation strategies must involve parents, must be appropriate to their age and proposed upstream of the intervention. A double-readinganimated film aimed at informative was created for the children and their parents/legal guardians in order to solve the problem of anxiety found at the arrival of children in the operating room.
Employing imaginary pills could offer a new way of investigating underlying mechanisms of open label placebo (OLP) treatment by eliminating the physical treatment constituent (i.e., the pill itself). This can reveal the power of the purely psychological component of a placebo and gives insights into underlying mechanisms of placebo effects. The aim of the project is to assess possible effects of an imaginary pill in comparison to no treatment, and open label placebo treatment in subjects with test anxiety. Interventions (seven to three weeks before the exam) will be held online using a video Chat application such as zoom (https://zoom.us/) or skype (https://www.skype.com/de/) or will take place at the division of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, University of Basel (Missionsstrasse 62, 4055 Basel).
The purpose of this open label study is to evaluate longer term tolerability and early efficacy of transcranial ultrasound in the treatment of patients with refractory depression and anxiety.
Anxiety is the most common mental health problem in children and adolescents. This two-phased study will test the effects of an experimental computerized intervention aimed at reducing threat-based thinking (i.e., interpretation bias) in anxious youth. Participants in both the R61 (N=46) and R33 (N=72) trials will be youth ages 10 to 17 with a primary anxiety disorder (Separation, Social, Generalized). In the R61 trial, youth will be randomly assigned to receive 16 sessions over 4 weeks of either a personalized cognitive bias modification program for interpretation bias (CBM-I) or a computerized control condition (ICC). If CBM-I reduces interpretation bias significantly more than the ICC, the R33 trial will commence. In the R33, youth will be randomly assigned to either CBM-I or an equal amount of time in a cognitive restructuring intervention, which also aims to reduce threat-based thinking in anxiety.
This study with a randomized, pretest - posttest controlled experimental design was conducted to determine the effects of active and passive heating methods applied in different parts of the perioperative process on thermal comfort, anxiety and vital signs. The study was conducted with the patients who were hospitalized for open abdominal surgical interventions in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, of Selcuk University Medical Faculty Hospital, between the dates of 1 October 2018 and 10 January 2019. The study included 99 patients in two control groups and one experimental group. The patients in group A were dressed with hot air blowing patients scrubs in both preoperative and postoperative periods, while patients in group B were dressed with hot air blowing patients scrubs only in the postoperative period. The control group continued routine practice. In the preoperative period, vital signs, thermal comfort, and anxiety levels of the patients were evaluated. In the intraoperative period, vital signs and thermal comfort levels of the patients were evaluated. Thermal comfort level of the patients was re-evaluated prior to the induction of anesthesia. Once the patients were transferred to the post-anesthesia care unit, among the vital signs of the patients, body temperature was measured in the temporal region, and other signs were measured using the monitors. Thermal comfort and anxiety levels of the patients were re-evaluated after they got dressed.
Music therapy is a non-invasive, safe, and inexpensive intervention that can be easily and successfully delivered. it has been shown that music therapy might reduce the postoperative pain in patients undergoing cesarean section and in those with cancer, showing a lower state of anxiety and greater pain reduction in participants who received music interventions. The aim of the present study is to investigate the role of music and music therapy on anxiety and perception of pain in patients undergoing elective hysterectomy for benign disease.
Improving the management of perioperative anxiety is important. Anxiety can have an impact on the intervention and can increase postoperative complications as well as emotional and behavioral incidents that then have an impact on adherence to care. These findings are also true in interventional cardiology. That is why, for several months, the Grenoble University hospital paramedical team, in collaboration with the medical profession, improved by using several techniques (educational sheet, therapeutic communication). Following a survey of the patients of Grenoble university hospital, a gray area persists in their care. The room where the patient attends his examination. The investigators would then use the new technology that makes virtual reality in the transfer room to evaluate its benefit in a random study on preoperative anxiety in interventional cardiology.
Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder, and currently, the best behavioral treatments only work for 40-60% of adults. BED often co-occurs with mood and anxiety disorders, and both are associated with neurocognitive deficits related to executive function (EF). These EF deficits contribute to worsening BED symptoms and make it difficult for these adults to adhere to treatment recommendations. The proposed study aims to develop an EF training enhanced behavioral treatment for BED and compare its effectiveness to the standard cognitive behavioral therapy for patients with BED and a co-occurring mood or anxiety disorder.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a telerehabilitation-yoga intervention delivered remotely via videoconferencing on adults with Parkinson's Disease and anxiety symptoms.
