Filter by:Climate change represents a global crisis with far-reaching implications for health, including mental health. Among vulnerable populations, such as nursing students, climate change anxiety is emerging as a noteworthy concern. Recognizing the need to address this issue, our research aims to investigate the impact of a virtual-based program on climate change awareness, anxiety levels, and self-efficacy among nursing students. As future healthcare professionals, nursing students play a pivotal role in promoting sustainable health practices and addressing the health impacts of climate change. This study seeks to contribute valuable insights into the effectiveness of virtual interventions in raising awareness and enhancing the coping mechanisms of nursing students in the face of climate change challenges.
This study was planned to determine nursing students' attitudes towards artificial intelligence and test anxiety levels after using ChatGPT and Google Bard in their education. The study will be carried out in accordance with the research feature of quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest, with 3rd and 4th year nursing students studying at Sinop University Faculty of Health Sciences in the 2023-2024 fall academic year. The research groups are named as follows; Experimental Group: The group that will receive ChatGPT and Google Bard training, Control Group: The group that will not receive ChatGPT and Google Bard training, in other words, the 3rd year students of the nursing department will be referred to as the control group, and the 4th year students will be the experimental group. Educational content; ChatGPT and Google Bard training for senior students of the Faculty of Health Sciences who volunteered to participate in the study was provided by Dr. Lecturer It will be given by member Yasemin Özyer Güvener. After the training is completed, students will be asked to use generative artificial intelligence for educational purposes. During the posttest implementation of the study (one week before the final exams), data collection tools will be applied again to students who continue to volunteer to participate in the research. Key words: nursing students, test anxiety, generative artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, Google Bard
This SBIR Phase I proposal will develop and test the acceptability and feasibility of a new suite of digital Single-Session Interventions, specifically applying Unified Protocol core principles for emotional disorders, to produce a highly accessible, engaging, and scalable product to help address the clinical needs of youth.
The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental research with the purpose of determining the effect of distraction by using Virtual Reality Glasses, Kaleidoscope and Distraction Cards in reducing pain and anxiety during blood draw in children.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of binaural beats on anxiety, pain and tolerance during colonoscopy without sedation
Purpose: Chemotherapy treatment is a very different and difficult process. Considering the many physiological and psychological problems that patients experience during and after the treatment process, chemotherapy symptoms and psychological problems affect the quality of life of patients. Along with the burden of the disease, patients who experience physiological problems during chemotherapy may experience depression, stress, and anxiety. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of music played during chemotherapy on depression, anxiety, stress levels, and chemotherapy symptoms. Method: This study was conducted in a randomized controlled manner with a pretest-posttest control group random design model. The study population consisted of patients receiving treatment in the outpatient chemotherapy unit of Maltepe University Faculty of Medicine Hospital. The study sample consisted of 49 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The power analysis determined that the sample number was 42 people in total, 21 in the experimental group and 21 in the control group. However, considering the data losses, it was decided that the number would be 25 experimental and 25 control. When one patient from the experimental group did not want to continue, the study was completed with 49 patients, 24 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The music recital will be applied 4 times in total, once a week, until the patients complete 1 cycle, i.e. 4 sessions. Patients in the experimental group were administered the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS -42) and Edmonton Symptom Diagnostic Scale (ESDS) before each session until the completion of one cycle, and music was played for 20-25 minutes during chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, the scales were applied again. In the control group, the scales were applied before chemotherapy treatment, no intervention was made during chemotherapy and the scales were applied again after chemotherapy.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the effect of using virtual reality glasses on the surgical fear and anxiety levels of patients undergoing open heart surgery on the morning of surgery. The main hypotheses are: 1. The surgical fear level of patients who use virtual reality glasses on the morning of surgery is lower than patients who do not use virtual reality glasses. 2. The anxiety level of patients who use virtual reality glasses on the morning of surgery is lower than patients who do not use virtual reality glasses. Before the surgery, study group patients will be asked to watch videos using virtual reality glasses.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common gastroenterological disorders with a reported prevalence of 10% to 20% percent in Europe and the USA and less than 5% in Asia. GERD manifests as heartburn, regurgitation, retrosternal pain, cough, and in some cases dysphagia and holds the possible complication of a Barrett´s esophagus. GERD can appear as non-erosive (NERD) or erosive (ERD). Comorbid symptoms of anxiety and depression are common in GERD patients: The association between anxiety or depression and reflux symptoms has been investigated in previous studies under the aspects of whether existing reflux symptomatology leads to increased anxiety and depression or whether anxiety and depression lead to more severe reflux symptoms. There is a an interaction between GERD and psychosocial disorders. A long duration of GERD was associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression, and women were more likely to have these symptoms. In patients with Barrett's esophagus, a complication of GERD in which the mucosal cells of the esophagus, under constant exposure to stomach acid, change into a different type of cell normally found in the intestinal tract, rates of anxiety and depression have been reported to be three to five times higher than in the general population. Anxiety and depression as well as adverse events in life are also independent risk factors for NERD. Patients with NERD show an increased risk for anxiety compared with patients with ERD. The reporting of somatic symptoms is multifactorial and influenced by psychosocial factors such as socioeconomic status, sex and mental distress. A high somatic symptom load is known to increase anxiety related to health issues, psychological distress and health care utilization. The increased sensation to visceral stimuli in which anxiety and depression play an important role has been discussed as visceral hypersensitivity. Several studies of patients with reflux symptoms have used the Hopsital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score as a measure of anxiety and depression and have reported higher anxiety scores than depression scores for this cohort. The aim of this study was to assess anxiety and depression levels of patients with physiological as well as with pathological DeMeester scores. Further the modulation of anxiety on the severity of reflux symptoms such as fullness, heartburn and dysphagia is examined.
This study explores the use of virtual reality (VR) to reduce pain and anxiety during thyroid biopsies and PICC line insertions under local anesthesia. One group experienced the procedure with VR, while the other group did not. Participants completed questionnaires before and after the surgery to measure pain and anxiety levels. The main goal is to observe if VR can significantly decrease pain and anxiety during these procedures.
The purpose of this study was to examine whether an app- and mentor-based program reduced anxiety among individuals reporting difficulties with anxiety. For the intervention group, this study involved completing an 8-week program focused on helping participants reach their personality goals. The program involved app-based games, journaling, and completing behavioral challenges. Participants engaged with the study app for approximately 15 minutes per day and spoke with a study mentor weekly for 1 hour. Participants were asked to complete surveys prior to and after the program. The pre-program survey lasted approximately 1 hour, and the post-program survey lasted approximately 30 minutes. For the control group, this study involved completing surveys. Participants were asked to complete surveys 8 weeks apart. The first batch of surveys lasted approximately 1 hour, and the follow-up surveys lasted approximately 30 minutes.
