Assessment of Sleep-related breathing disorders, anxiety, depression and quality of life in Behcet's disease.
This study aimed to determine the effect of virtual reality on pain, anxiety, and vital signs of oncology patients undergoing port catheter implantation. The study was carried out with 139 participants (69 intervention, 70 control) between September 2019 and January 2020. A patient identification form, state anxiety inventory, a table for vital signs, and a visual analog scale for pain severity were used for the data collection. Data were collected from the patients before, during, and after the implantation. In the intervention group, a virtual reality device, movies, and relaxing music were provided to the patients.
Investigators developed a brief standardized internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral program for treating anxious and depressive symptoms in children and adolescents in the context of COVID-19 pandemics in Brazil. A 2-arm parallel-randomized controlled clinical trial will be conducted to test the efficacy of this program (intervention group), in comparison with a educational-only intervention program based on videos (active control group). 280 children and adolescents (8 to 17 years-old) with clinically significant anxious and/or depressive symptoms will be recruited through internet and social media. They will be randomized either to the intervention (n=140) or active control group (n=140). Participants will be recruited from across the country. The therapeutic program consists of 5 weekly sessions covering the following contents: education on stress reactions, family communication, relaxation and mindful techniques, emotion recognition, management of irritability, behavioral activation, and cognitive restructuring. The educational program consists of 15 videos covering the same content. Participants in the intervention group will also have access to these videos. Both child/adolescent and at least one caregiver will be required to take part in the sessions (and watch the videos). Participants will be assessed at the beginning (baseline; T0) at the end (endpoint; T1), and 30 days after the intervention (follow-up; T2) with standardized questionnaires, through an interview with a blinded investigator. Participants that develop severe symptomatology requiring further support during the intervention (such as psychiatric pharmacological treatment and/or more intensive psychotherapy) will be referred to adequate treatment. During the week prior to the intervention and the first week after its end, adolescents (older than 12 years-old) in both groups with access to a smartphone will be asked to report their momentary mood, emotions, and stress several times a day using the same smartphone app that will deliver the educational content to both groups. Adolescents will also be asked to install a second smartphone application that captures data from the phone sensors to provide proxies on behaviors associated with depression, such as social isolation (by the proximity with other devices, time spent on social media, as well as environmental sound and light) amount of inactivity (by assessing the maximum distance traveled throughout the day), among others.
Understanding long-term complications after intensive care is important to be able to offer prophylactic and therapeutic measures to post-intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Since patients in the ICU experience life threatening conditions, severe psychological and physical stress, we hypothesized that patients after ICU have an increased risk of mental illnesses specifically anxiety disorders, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Moreover, we hypothesized that the prevalence and severity of mental illnesses are related to the extent of intensive care. Our endpoints are the prevalence of anxiety disorders, depression one year after ICU-care and if the extent of intensive care an independent predictor of psychiatric illness one year after ICU admission. We will assess Swedish Intensive Care registry data for all adult ICU patients admitted between 2010-2015 and assess ICD-10 codes for anxiety disorders, depression and PTSD one year after ICU admission.
Coronary angiography (CAG) is an invasive method for imaging the coronary arteries. The femoral artery is frequently used during CAG and patients feel pain and anxiety during removal of the catheters placed in the femoral region. These disorders also negatively affect the vital signs and comfort levels of patients. Different methods are used in direct proportion to the development of technology for relieving anxiety and pain caused by invasive surgical procedures in patients. These methods include virtual reality (VR) applications. Innovative, up-to-date and original, virtual reality is the fusion of fiction and technology with reality and imagination. These programs; It is stated that in addition to reducing the patient's anxiety and pain, it makes them feel safe, increases their comfort, care satisfaction and positively affects their participation in care. Acupressure is one of the most widely used non-pharmacological methods to reduce pain and anxiety, and one of the applications included in the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). Applications made with manipulations such as pressure and rubbing on certain points on the meridians where energy flow takes place in the body are called acupressure. It has been determined that acupressure applications in different areas reduce pain and anxiety and positively affect vital signs and patient comfort. Although there are studies in the literature in which different non-pharmacological methods are applied to reduce pain and anxiety caused by catheter extraction after CAG, positively affect vital signs, and increase the level of comfort, no research has been found in which acupressure method and virtual reality methods developed with today's technology are applied together. In this study, it was planned to reduce the pain and anxiety of the patients, to observe the effects on vital signs, and to increase their comfort levels, with acupressure application and virtual reality methods, which have not been applied non-pharmacologically until now, in patients who underwent CAG.
This study aims to examine different ways of motivating people to make use of Maya, a mobile cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) program for adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety symptoms, and to assess whether social supports are as efficacious, or more efficacious, than other non-monetary incentives. Subjects will use the Maya app for at least 20 minutes per day, 2 days per week, for 6 weeks. Assessments will include a weekly check in with a member of the research team, questionnaires, and an optional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) recording.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES), for one hour a day over 3 weeks pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program on symptoms of anxiety in post-Covid patients.
The basis of pediatric dentistry is to provide cooperation in children with various behavioral management techniques. The presence or absence of the parent during dental treatments can be used to ensure the child's compliance with the treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the presence or absence of the parent on the child's dental anxiety and child's behavior during dental treatment. The secondary aim is to examine the relationship between the child's dental fear and the parent's dental fear. Healthy children between the ages of 4-7, who have no dental experience and need restorative treatment will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three study groups (Group 1: Parental absence, Group 2: Parent behind a barrier and Group 3: Parental presence). Psychometric and projective tests will be applied to assess child's and parent's dental anxiety at the beginning of the study. At the second appointment scheduled for the operative treatment of decayed primary molar tooth, first the child will be administered topical and local anesthesia, a rubber dam will be placed on the decayed tooth, the caries will be removed with high and low speed rotary instruments and the cavity will be restored with a compomer filling. Children's heart rates and blood oxygen saturation will be measured by a pulse oximeter during treatment in order to evaluate dental anxiety. Children will be videotaped during treatment so that their behaviour can be evaluated later by another researcher. After treatment, psychometric and projective tests used to measure the child's dental anxiety will be re-administered.
The modified Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mPAS) questionnaire as given in the article by Viola et al, will be used after permission from the authors, to investigate the preoperative anxiety of patients undergoing surgery during the 4th wave of the pandemic
