Volunteers with a prescription of oral sertraline who have been scheduled to bariatric surgery in either Norrköping/Sweden or Lindesberg/Sweden will be asked to participate in a observational study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the absorption and the effect and side effects of sertraline in volunteers 8 weeks before and 1, 6 and 12 months after bariatric surgery.
Compassion focused therapy (CFT) is a relatively new psychological therapy. Research has shown that CFT can improve psychological wellbeing and functioning in people with anxiety and depressive disorders. Research into CFT has focused on working age adults. It would be useful to evaluate whether CFT could be of benefit to the older adult population. The present study aims to use the Medical Research Council (MRC) framework for developing and evaluating new treatments for complex conditions such as mental health. The present study aims to explore the feasibility and acceptability of a CFT group as a treatment for older adults with anxiety or depressive disorders. Additionally, the study aims to use the statistical data to inform future research. Participants will be older adults (aged 60+) referred to National Health Service (NHS) Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) older people's mental health service for common mental health conditions. People with psychosis, addictions, diagnosis of dementia or risk of self-harm will be ineligible. Participants will be offered the group as part of their treatment. Participants in the group will be identified and approached by an NHS clinician and asked to consent to participate in the study; non participation in the study will not affect their place in the group. The group protocol has been developed from previous research and will last for 10 weekly sessions of 90 minutes. The study is mixed methods, using both quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative part will use outcome measures which will look for a statistical relationship between the CFT group and changes in wellbeing and functioning. The qualitative part will use a semi-structured interview to hear people's experiences. The CFT group will be delivered by an NHS clinical psychologist and Community Psychiatric Nurse (CPN).
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of an immersive virtual reality (VR)-based education program with a form of patient education commonly provided by clinics (e.g., an educational video) at delivering education to breast cancer patients as they prepare for radiation therapy treatment. Self-evaluation questionnaires completed by participants will be used to measure changes in information needs and anxiety, stress, preparedness and satisfaction levels pre/post education between the VR-based education and video education groups in this study. Expanded access to the current VR-based education program will depend on licensing status for associated assets by interested parties.
During adolescence, youth undergo rapid developmental change and in some cases experience increases in worries and fearfulness, although the mechanisms that underlie this change are unclear. Previous studies indicate that heightened Attentional Bias (AB) toward threat-related cues may increase fearfulness, and it may be possible to change AB using a computerized, Attention Bias Modification task (ABM). This study will recruit healthy youth with elevated anxious symptoms to index attentional tendencies toward threat-related stimuli using cutting-edge techniques, and to test the effect of a computerized attention training task in altering attention to threatening cues. The investigators will also examine the role of ABM in changing youth's attention-related resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC), a neural marker of at-rest cognition.
Does the introduction of a preparatory virtual reality (VR) program that is used in the home environment, have an effect on the anxiety level of children immediately before surgery, prior to administration of preoperative sedatives?
The purpose of this study is to determine if passive music listening decreases anxiety in patients undergoing dental procedures and if the effects of music therapy are influenced by gender, age, and amount or type of dental treatment needed.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a gold standard treatment for a wide spectrum of anxiety-related concerns. However, long waitlist times can serve as a substantial barrier to those seeking treatment. Internet delivered psychotherapy, such as internet-based CBT (I-CBT) may present an affordable option for disseminating empirically supported treatments. Velibra, an web-based I-CBT intervention, has shown initial promise in treating anxiety disorders. Velibra has been used to treat anxiety-related disorders in European samples with participants recruited from general practitioner's offices and diagnosed with a specific subset of anxiety disorders. While these effects are encouraging, additional research is needed toevaluate whether Velibra could be implemented in a community mental health clinic in the U.S. Specifically, if Velibra could be successfully implemented within the context of mental health clinic waitlists, it may be capable of providing evidence-based treatment to larger groups of people at a faster rate than mental health clinics can structurally support. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of implementing Velibra into an American community clinic waitlist. We plan to offer free access to the Velibra program to members of the Anxiety and Stress Clinic (ASC) waitlist at the University of Texas at Austin experiencing anxiety. We will evaluate interest in the program, user data from the program, and opinions of the program post-completion. We hypothesize ASC patients will find utility in Velibra's ability to offer them mental health resources faster than the traditional waitlist can provide.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of the outpatient ambulatory child psychiatric care system on the functioning of anxio-depressive adolescents in school retreat by describing the modalities of individual psychic functioning.
This study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of Learning to BREATHE (a mindfulness intervention for adolescents) plus an ecological momentary intervention (Learning to Breathe Plus), and will examine the extent to which mindfulness reduces dysregulated stress physiology, perceived stress, and anxiety in adolescents from high conflict homes.
