Filter by:Fear of the dentist is a very common phenomenon which delays consultations and brings negative consequences on oral and general health. Virtual reality (VR) reduces children's pain and anxiety during dental care or oral surgery. The aim of this prospective, randomized and controlled study is to show the effectiveness of virtual reality to reduce anxiety in a sample of adults during tooth avulsions under local anesthesia. There is a group with virtual reality and a control group without virtual reality. Patients complet the State Trait Anxiety Inventory - State - (STAI-YA) questionnaire and the visual analog anxiety scale (VAS) just before and just after the surgery by transcribing the anxiety they feel during it. The main judgement criterion is the evolution of the STAI-YA score before vs during the surgery. Secondary criteria are the relevance of the chosen metric by comparing it to the VAS, defining the factors influencing the evolution of the anxiety score, studying the side effects of VR and the wish to repeat the experience.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of an online group intervention called Healthy Minds in facilitating a sustainable return to work for individuals with a mood disorder. The study aims to answer the following key questions : - Does receiving the Healthy Minds online intervention lead to a more sustainable return to work compared to not receiving the intervention? - Are the health outcomes (e.g., depressive symptoms) and work-related outcomes (e.g., work functioning) of individuals who receive the Healthy Minds online intervention better than those who do not receive the intervention in the year following the intervention? Both experimental and control participants will be recruited at baseline while on sick leave (expected to return to work in less than one month) or recently returned to work (less than one month). Participants will complete a series of online questionnaires at the following time points : - Baseline - First follow-up (2 months after baseline) - Second follow-up (6 months after baseline) - Third follow-up (12 months after baseline) The questionnaires will cover the following areas : - Sociodemographic and biopsychosocial factors - Symptoms associated with the primary mood disorder - Cognitive difficulties and biaises - Self-efficacy related to return to work - Work accommodations and natural supports - Relationship with immediate supervisor - Work functioning - Return to work time (number of days away from work) Experimental participants will participate in the 2-month online Healthy Minds group intervention (cohort of 5 participants) between the baseline assessment and the first follow-up. The intervention consists of 8 sessions (one per week for 8 weeks), with each session focusing on a specific aspect of the return-to-work process from a cognitive-behavioral perspective.

It is known that 1 in 5 women experience psychological difficulties during their pregnancy or in the first year after giving birth. Unfortunately, in 75% of cases, these problems go undetected, resulting in the woman, her partner and the baby not receiving the proper care. For this reason, the Flemish government wants to screen all women in the perinatal period for their mental well-being using short questionnaires with the aim of referring them to appropriate care. Before they can recommend this screening to all women in the perinatal period, it is necessary to investigate the effectiveness of these short questionnaires, as well as the proposed stepped screening protocol. The investigators want to use this study to determine whether the questionnaires and the stepped screening protocol are sufficiently sensitive to detect mental health problems during this period. This means that they want to check whether the (future) moms who screen positive actually have problems and whether the (future) moms who screen negative effectively do not have psychological problems. In case of positive findings, teh investigators want to recommend that screening for psychological well-being should best be part of standard care in the future. Participants will be asked to answer some questions regarding depressive and anxiety symptoms using existing screening instruments (Whooley, GAD-2, EPDS and GAD-7). On the basis of an online application one can be assigned to the group that will be invited for a telephone interview by a study employee of the UZ Gent (psychologist or psyciatrist) to conduct a semi-structured interview within 2 weeks after completing these questions. The interviewer will ask questions about current psychological well-being and, where applicable, psychological problems in the past. The interviewer will not be aware of the responses to the questionnaires, so as not to be prejudiced. Being contacted for an interview does not necessarily mean that those women scored higher on the questionnaires, as they may also belong to the control group. In addition, a number of demographic data are requested (such as age, marital status, level of education, occupational category, how many pregnancies, number of other (living) children, (expected) delivery date, current forms of treatment (medications, psychotherapeutic interventions) and psychiatric history).
The CLIMATE Observational Study examines to what extent chronically ill patients experience adverse health effects because of heat and whether the patients' specific efforts, somatosensory amplification, self-efficacy, health literacy and commitment to the GP, degree of urbanisation of the patients' administration district and characteristics of the patients' neighborhood are associated with these effects.
The aim of the study is to determine the state anxiety levels of the pregnant women who were given and not given information about the fetus with USG images during the detailed ultrasound (USG) and to compare them in both groups. This research is in the design of pre-test-post-test applied and randomized controlled research. Dependent variables: State anxiety levels Independent variables: Being informed during ultrasound Control variables: Socio-demographic variables and obstetric variables.
Introduction: Mothers of babies with congenital heart disease tend to have higher levels of depression, stress and anxiety. Currently, psychological support group technology has been a resource increasingly used by health professionals, with a therapeutic objective as an instrument to promote care. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a group intervention in improving depression, anxiety and the psychological well-being of mothers of babies with congenital heart disease. Methods: Randomized, parallel clinical trial, in which the factor under study will be online group therapy and the outcome the level of depressive symptoms, anxiety and psychological well-being, assessed using the instruments: BECK-II, BAI and Wellness Scale Ryff's psychological well-being at the beginning and after the intervention. The fellow who will reapply the instruments will be blinded to the groups. Patients will be randomized 1:1, with odd numbers assigned to treatment (online group therapy) and even numbers assigned to controls (no online group therapy). The intervention group will have 8 weekly group consultations, psychoeducational and focused on depression, anxiety and psychological well-being. The sample size was calculated at 36 individuals for each group. Data will be analyzed using the statistical program Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27.0. For comparison between groups, Student's t test or Kruskall-Wallis or Chi-square test will be used. A two-tailed value of p≤ 0.05 will be considered significant. The normality of instrument scores will be evaluated using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Covariance analysis will be performed to assess the influence of initial scores of anxiety, depression and well-being and their changes after intervention. The effect size will also be calculated. Expected results: It is expected to know and describe the population studied with regard to the level of depressive symptoms, anxiety and psychological well-being. In addition to seeking knowledge about the effectiveness of Group Therapy for these variables.
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercises on coping with fetal anxiety and prenatal stress during pregnancy. Methods: This randomized controlled study was carried out at a family health center in eastern Turkey. The study sample consisted of 106 pregnant women (experimental group, 54; control group, 54). Those in the experimental group received diaphragmatic breathing exercises five times in two weeks, one time via face-to-face session and 4 times twice a week via video call. Those in the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using the Revised-Prenatal Coping Inventory (NuPCI) and the Fetal Health Anxiety Inventory (FHAI).

Methodology: Randomized controlled trial of equivalence with two groups in parallel (1:1) with repeated measures in pretreatment, posttreatment and follow-up at 3 months. The sample will be composed of male or female participants, in an age range of 18 to 40 years. The sample size was calculated, obtaining a total of 52 participants, the expected effect size is .40, with a significance of 0.05 and a probability error of 80%. Participants in the two groups will be assessed with the following instruments: Sleep Diary, Patient Health Questionnaire 9, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index , Insomnia Severity Index, SF-36 Health Survey and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7; at the beginning and end of treatment; and in a follow-up at 3 months. TData analysis: The Kolmogrov-Smirnov test will be carried out to determine the normality of the data, in case the distribution is parametric, an ANOVA of repeated measures will be carried out for the comparison of data between the pre, post and monitoring for each of the groups; in the event that the data does not have a normal distribution, the Friedman test will be performed for the comparison of repeated measures. Finally, to avoid bias in the data analysis, an external investigator will be asked to perform the randomization and data processing.
