Filter by:This study aimed to evaluate the cognitive behavioral therapy source of Turkish version of the 'message to dentist' (MTD) with children attending two dental settings.
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a brief coping skills training program addressing anxiety and pain related to surveillance pelvic examinations for female gynecologic cancer survivors.
This study compares the effectiveness of two levels of therapist support for an internet-based, parent-led cognitive behavioral therapy for youth with anxiety and ASD.
The study in order to evaluate the effect of virtual reality glasses during splint in children on pain and anxiety due to the procedure.
A breast biopsy is a cause for anxiety for most women when faced with a diagnosis of breast cancer. Physiological and psychological effects of breast biopsy may continue in the pre-biopsy and post-biopsy period. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two different aromatherapy methods applied in reducing anxiety before breast biopsy.
The diagnosis and treatment of paediatric cancer is the most stressful experience for children and their families. Nearly all paediatric cancer patients are presented with at least one psychosocial problem, of which, anxiety and depression often coexist and are most frequently reported. Poorly managed anxiety and depression causes emotional and behavioural problems, impairs relationships and functioning, decreases adhere to treatment, increases the burden of symptoms and significantly impacts quality of life and prognosis. Despite the high rates and negative impacts of anxiety and depression in paediatric oncology, they are poorly managed. Thus, to mitigate the burden of anxiety, depression and impaired quality of life, an age-appropriate cognitive-behavioural intervention shows promise when incorporated with the existing pharmacologic interventions. This study aims to test how effective cognitive-behavioural intervention is to improve anxiety, depression and quality of life of children during chemotherapy. The study will be conducted in two hospitals in Ethiopia and include 8-18-year-old children with haematological cancer receiving chemotherapy, able to communicate with the local language, Amharic, able to provide parental consent and child assent, and without history of developmental, psychological, psychiatric, hearing or speech problems. The study will enroll up to 80 participants and randomise them into two groups, one group will receive a cognitive-behavioural intervention and the the other group will receive the usual psychosocial care provided by staff nurses. Participants in the cognitive-behavioural intervention group will receive five sessions of individual face to face cognitive-behavioural intervention. Each session will last approximately 30-35 minutes a week and supplemented by home-based practices. This study will use different intervention delivery strategies including psychoeducation, guided discovery or Socratic questioning, discussion, drawing, painting or writing, and play depending on the content of each session and maturity of the child. The levels of anxiety, depression and quality of life will be measured before the intervention, after the intervention and one month after completion of the intervention in both groups.
A large number of adults who undergo surgery experience perioperative anxiety and pain. The current recommended approach to perioperative pain management is a multimodal approach including opioids. Evidence has demonstrated that the pharmacological management of pain and anxiety is often associated with side effects which limits patient satisfaction and their ability to be discharged from the hospital. Furthermore, it is established that perioperative level of pain is directly correlated to anxiety, depression, and catastrophizing and these are significant predictors for the level of postoperative pain, as well as at the hospital length of stay. Therefore, considerations have been given to the use of non-pharmaceutical complementary approaches to management of anxiety including pre and postoperative use of music. The benefits of music therapy on anxiety has been reported using several surgical models and conditions in adults (cancer, hysterectomy in cancer) and children, prior to surgery and after. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of music interventions on anxiety and pain in adult populations undergoing diverse types of minor surgery indicate that music therapy significantly reduces both post operative anxiety and pain in adults receiving music interventions before, during, or after surgery.
With this study, the investigators aim to use sleep and dreaming in order to enhance exposure therapy for social anxiety disorder (SAD), by pairing the positive feedback phase of exposure (public talk) to an auditory stimulus during wake (associated sound) and subsequently applying this stimulus during sleep (targeted memory reactivation, TMR). Exposure therapy sessions will take place in a virtual reality (VR) environment, while physiological measures during the preparation phase of public talk such as heart rate variability (HRV), skin conductance response (SCR) and subjective level of anxiety (SUDS) will be used in order to assess treatment efficiency across the sessions. Patients with SAD according to DSM-5 criteria will be included. The main hypothesis of this study is that participants who are presented with the associated sound during sleep (TMR group) will have reduced intensity of social anxiety compared to participants with no such association (control group), after both a full night's sleep with auditory stimulation during REM sleep in the laboratory, and after 1 week of stimulation during REM sleep at home. In addition, it is expected that fear-related dreams may correlate with anxiety levels during wakefulness after 1 week of stimulation at home.
One in eight children and young people (CYP) suffer mental health problems needing support or treatment and 5% have more than one such problem. The effects can be major, affecting CYP emotionally and functionally, impacting progress at school, relationships with others and increasing long term risk of mental health problems. Parents, schools, policy makers and the NHS often struggle to find the best way to help, especially within their limited budgets. The UK Government and the NHS have highlighted the need to improve mental health in CYP. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioural therapy; however this can be time consuming, needs to be delivered over many weeks, must focus on the most upsetting problem first and is not very effective. One way to overcome this is to evaluate a group therapy that can treat multiple mental health problems at once. This new treatment is called Metacognitive Therapy (MCT). The aim of the study is to see if participating in a randomized trial of Group MCT is a feasible and acceptable treatment for CYP suffering with anxiety, stress, depression, or a combination in comparison to usual care. This allows us to test key questions about recruitment and drop-out rates, test the protocol, and gain information about MCT including training and supervision needs of clinicians and the experience of patients receiving it.
This randomized controlled study is planned to determine the effect of aromatherapy applied to patients in the urodynamic procedure on patients' anxiety and serum cortisol levels. This study assumes that lavender inhalation in aromatherapy has positive effects on physiological parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, serum cortisol level, as well as reducing stress and anxiety.
