Filter by:Sexual minority stressors (e.g., sexual minority identity-based discrimination) contribute to greater risk for and severity of depression, anxiety, substance use disorders and suicide among sexual minority Veterans. However, no brief, scalable, one-on-one interventions targeting sexual minority stressor-related distress are available in Veterans Affairs (VA) for sexual minority Veterans. The proposed research will examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a brief, 3-session expressive writing intervention to target distress related to sexual minority stressor exposure among sexual minority Veterans. The results of this work will advance knowledge about a promising brief and easy to implement intervention focused on reducing depressive and anxiety symptoms among sexual minority Veterans. This proposal aligns with VA's and CSR&D's commitment to providing equitable services to sexual minority Veterans and the aim of reducing health disparities among underserved Veteran groups.
The goal of this clinical trial is to apply Virtual Reality as an adjunct treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The main question it aims to answer are: - Determination of the efficacy of VR modules as an adjunct therapy in improving GAD-7 scores - Assessment of the acceptability of VR modules as an adjunct therapy to the standard of care Participants will randomized into two arms: - Control Arm: Standard of Care only - Intervention Arm: Standard of Care + VR Modules
This research is a randomized controlled experimental study designed to determine the effect of video, which is watched by virtual reality glasses during the procedure, on anxiety, pain and patient satisfaction to women who have had pap smear test.
The study is a prospective, randomized, single-blind controlled superiority trial to evaluate the effect of viewing an informative animated video a day prior to surgery on preoperative anxiety in pediatric patients scheduled for elective otoplasty. The primary outcome will be modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS) score at the time of general anesthesia induction compared between families that were assigned to view the animated video the day before and those that were not. The participants for this study will be children undergoing elective otoplasty at the IWK Health Centre. Those participants randomized to the intervention group will receive a link to a short survey gauging parent anxiety levels. The survey will be followed by a link to an informative animated video which the participants and their families will watch. The control group will be participants assigned not to receive the email link to the informative animated video.
The present project aims at conducting a proof of concept study to explore the pertinence of a single session of cardiac coherence, carried out in patients prior to an MRI examination and presenting anxiety in relation to this examination, to reduce their level of anxiety and thus improve the course of the examination.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic chronic inflammatory disease, and depression and anxiety are among the most common comorbidities in RA patients, with a high prevalence rate. Epidemiological studies have found that joint deformities, severe pain, positive serum RF titers, as well as comorbidities such as hypertension, insomnia, pain, and fatigue are significantly associated with depression and anxiety in RA patients. Currently, clinical studies have found that the relief of depression or anxiety is one of the expected treatment goals for RA patients. Due to the unclear pathogenic factors of depression or anxiety in RA patients, there is a lack of effective clinical treatment options. Therefore, this study will use a "causal inference model" to identify possible "mediating variables" that may lead to the comorbidity of RA and emotional disorders through clinical investigation, aiming to improve the precision of treatment for physicians.
Infertility affects approximately 48 million couples and 186 million individuals globally, and it has biological, psychosocial, and economic problems in couples. It is a vital global reproductive health problem that has burdens and affects not only families but also society and the state. Studies indicate that many situations experienced during the infertility treatment process negatively affect the treatment results, and the anxiety of individuals receiving treatment, especially women, is high. The previous literature reports that during the infertility treatment process, women experience a decrease in their anxiety and self-confidence about drug administration, they have doubts about the dose, administration, and time of drugs, and the rate of mistakes made regarding drug administration is too high to be ignored. Such cases may lead to cycle cancellations in infertility treatment, interrupting the treatment, adversely affecting the success of the treatment, and thus exposing the couple to more than one treatment trial. The interruption of the treatment with the cycle cancellation, the increase in the number of treatment attempts, the repetitions cause the woman to be exposed to a higher amount of drug, the cost to increase with each treatment trial, an increase in the economic burden of the couples, and an increase in the financial burden for the country. In addition to these physical and economic burdens, feelings such as anxiety, concern, hopelessness, and depression increase in couples, and they may eventually experience burnout. In order to improve the care of infertile individuals, it is clearly stated in the literature that couples need open communication channels with health care professionals, obtaining qualified information, instilling realistic hope, empowerment, accessibility of care services, and they have unmet and high-quality care needs. The increase in the use and use of web-based education services in the globalizing world gives us hope in providing a solution to this issue. This project was mainly designed to answer the question of "Is the responsive web-based roadmap (InT-mAp) developed in solving the problems encountered in drug administration, treatment success and reducing anxiety in infertile women treated with Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART)?" With InT-mAp, which investigators will develop using web-based education technology, which is a distance education method in this age of technology; investigators aimed to reduce/reduce the margin of error in ART treatment-drug practices, to contribute positively to the treatment process, and to reduce the social, economic and psychological burdens by reducing the anxiety level of individuals in this process. Besides, the InT-mAp, which will be developed to meet individuals' education and counseling needs for general infertility issues and the treatment process, will reduce the workload of healthcare professionals working in this field and make a positive contribution to drug administration consultancy. With this study, investigators aimed to provide participants with time-saving, individualized care, to reach the right information whenever they want, regardless of time and place, on every subject they need in the field of infertility. Investigators predict that sufficient follicle development, healthy oocytes and pregnancy can be achieved by creating awareness in infertile women and minimizing the conditions that may adversely affect the treatment process and results. Contributing to the health and economic indicators of the country by reducing cycle cancellations and reducing costs are among our important goals. The most important features that make the project unique are the absence of online support and a sensitive web-based training platform, where the infertility treatment process in Turkey can be followed in detail by the users, and individualized care and training needs are met.
Osteoarthrosis (OA) is a chronic, degenerative disease characterized by joint wear and tear. It is a major cause of pain, disability and decreased quality of life. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) represent an effective alternative for the treatment and pain control of patients with osteoarthritis. The "fast-track" program is translated as enhanced recovery or fast-track, and consists of the active participation of patients in their own recovery and immediate post-surgical mobilization, thanks to preoperative education through an educational workshop, the type of analgesia used and the empowerment of the patient in his or her own recovery. The problem of anxiety in the surgical patient and the role of nurses in it has been widely studied for some decades, as shown in the scientific literature. Our experience as professionals of a hospital unit of orthopedic surgery and traumatology shows us the reality of this situation and the investigators find that when discharging patients who have undergone surgery and are discharged after 24 hours, the patient almost globally manifests a series of expressions, behaviors or behaviors that are related to anxious behavior, a completely natural human response of a patient who does not know what he is going to face. This leads us to detect a need to reinforce the information provided at discharge and the accompaniment during the first weeks after discharge. Anxiety is a complex reaction to potentially dangerous situations or stimuli. It is an alarm signal that triggers a series of responses to cope with the situation. Anxiety is an emotional response that encompasses unpleasant cognitive aspects and physiological alterations that manifest themselves with high nervousness and even motor alterations. Surgery is perceived by the patient as an important stress factor that can translate into nervousness and anxiety. Anxiety is almost always present during surgery, to a greater or lesser degree, both preoperatively and postoperatively. Several studies have shown that good preoperative information reduces preoperative and postoperative anxiety. Patients need information about their process since dispelling their doubts will minimize anxiety. Currently there is very little information on anxiety during the whole surgical process. Therefore, in the present project the investigators propose to carry out a research study to analyze whether nursing intervention has beneficial results in the surgical patient.
When the literature was reviewed, many studies were found in which various non-pharmacologic interventions such as reflexology, music therapy, slow and deep breathing exercises, relaxation exercises and cold application were examined in the control of pain associated with chest tube removal. However, a limited number of studies have examined the effect of acupressure on the control of pain caused by chest tube removal; there are no studies in which LI4, LI11 and HT7 acupressure points were used and anxiety level and hemodynamic variables were examined along with procedural pain. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acupressure on procedural pain, anxiety and hemodynamic variables after chest tube removal after open heart surgery.
