Filter by:The study evaluates the effectiveness of play interventions on anxiety among hospitalized children in selected hospital of Yamuna Nagar, Haryana. Quasi experimental approach was adopted. 60 (30 in experimental and 30 in comparison)hospitalized children were selected by purposive sampling technique.Hospitalized children in experimental group were provided play interventions whereas the children in Comparison group received only usual medical and nursing care.
Children with intellectual/developmental disabilities (ID/DD) will experience less dental anxiety and cooperate better in a Sensory Adapted Dental Environment (modified visual, sensory, and somatosensory stimuli in a regular dental setting) than in a regular dental environment (RDE).
Effect of nature based sounds' intervention on Agitation and Anxiety of patients admitted in Intensive Care Units of MMIMS&R Hospital, Mullana, Ambala
In this study, investigators wanted to investigate the effect of preoperative anxiety level on anesthesia preference of patient. Before surgery, patients will fill the forms of Pain catastrophising scale (PCS), Beck depression and Beck anxiety scale. After surgery, these forms will be evaluated according to the choice of anesthesia.
Drs. from the Mayo Clinic Rochester will plan and execute a feasibility study of the phase I prototype version of the Virtual Reality exposure therapy system. Dr. X, who has significant experience in evaluating patient experiences and opinions of technologies intended to change behavior, will oversee a qualitative study to examine the prototype system. Twenty children with generalized anxiety disorder with perfectionism who have received less than 3 treatment sessions and a parent will be recruited to pilot the Virtual Reality system.
This study will evaluate the effects of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on physiological reactivity. This study will focus on individuals with anxiety who will participate in an 8-week MBSR class. The investigators will test participants' reactivity to both predictable and unpredictable stimuli before and after the class to understand the physiological changes that may occur after to the intervention. Secondary measures include psychometric instruments and a delay discounting task.
In France, during surgery, only 4% of parents are present at induction, most often for children with disabilities with iterative interventions. Some studies have shown that the presence of parents during induction decreases the anxiety of children, while others do not. Their conclusions all advocate preparing parents for this presence in the operating room in an accompanying course.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a chronic condition whose hallmark feature is excessive and uncontrollable worry (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Theories of GAD propose that specific cognitive biases are involved in the maintenance and etiology of chronic worry. One cognitive bias that plays a role in worrying is abstract thinking, or the tendency to "verbalize" thoughts and worries in a manner that is vague and lacking in detail. There is evidence that training depressed people to think more concretely improves depressive symptoms and depression-type thinking styles, and reduces emotional reactivity. Given that chronic worry and depression have commonalities (e.g., repetitive thinking styles, difficulties with problem-solving and attentional control, emotion dysregulation), concreteness training may help people who struggle with chronic worry. The main goals of this proof of concept experiment are 1) to test in individuals reporting chronic worry the effects of an active form of concreteness training that involves imagery practice (compared to a no training control condition) on frequency of worrying, problem solving quality, and worry-related processes; 2) to examine the degree to which concreteness training causes improvements in daily worry and negative affect during the 7 days of practice. The study design will provide us with an understanding on a more "macro" level of the potential short-term benefits and will at the same time allow us to see, on a more "micro" level, how training concreteness affects worry and mood on a day-to-day basis during a 7-day period. The findings from this study will inform relevant clinical literature about efficacious methods to reduce chronic worry.
Depression is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality in patients with heart disease, and has a negative impact on quality of life, work capacity and treatment adherence. Screening for depression among heart patients are therefore recommended by the Norwegian Health Authorities. Also, symptoms of anxiety may negatively affect rehabilitation due to e.g. fear of physical activity and excessive worry. Patients currently receiving treatment for heart disease at Diakonhjemmet Hospital will be screened for symptoms of depression and anxiety. If such symptoms are detected, patients will be offered a counselling session with a clinical psychologist. Further, routines for collaborative communication between clinical psychologist, cardiologist and the patient's general physician will be emphasized.
All of the tools currently available for preoperative preparation of children either use a third person approach (i.e., use media whereby they watch a video or look at pictures of another child receiving an anesthetic), provide tours at some time previous to the operation date, or are shown the equipment that they will encounter during their anesthetic. No preoperative programme currently allows the child to experience the entire chain of events from leaving the preoperative preparation area (and their parents), walking to the operating area, being initially prepared for and receiving anesthesia and recovering from anesthesia, in real time and from a first person perspective. As such the investigators are carrying out this study to assess whether virtual reality preoperative preparation is effective in reducing anxiety at induction of anesthesia.
