Filter by:Osteoarthrosis (OA) is a chronic, degenerative disease characterized by joint wear and tear. It is a major cause of pain, disability and decreased quality of life. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) represent an effective alternative for the treatment and pain control of patients with osteoarthritis. The "fast-track" program is translated as enhanced recovery or fast-track, and consists of the active participation of patients in their own recovery and immediate post-surgical mobilization, thanks to preoperative education through an educational workshop, the type of analgesia used and the empowerment of the patient in his or her own recovery. The problem of anxiety in the surgical patient and the role of nurses in it has been widely studied for some decades, as shown in the scientific literature. Our experience as professionals of a hospital unit of orthopedic surgery and traumatology shows us the reality of this situation and the investigators find that when discharging patients who have undergone surgery and are discharged after 24 hours, the patient almost globally manifests a series of expressions, behaviors or behaviors that are related to anxious behavior, a completely natural human response of a patient who does not know what he is going to face. This leads us to detect a need to reinforce the information provided at discharge and the accompaniment during the first weeks after discharge. Anxiety is a complex reaction to potentially dangerous situations or stimuli. It is an alarm signal that triggers a series of responses to cope with the situation. Anxiety is an emotional response that encompasses unpleasant cognitive aspects and physiological alterations that manifest themselves with high nervousness and even motor alterations. Surgery is perceived by the patient as an important stress factor that can translate into nervousness and anxiety. Anxiety is almost always present during surgery, to a greater or lesser degree, both preoperatively and postoperatively. Several studies have shown that good preoperative information reduces preoperative and postoperative anxiety. Patients need information about their process since dispelling their doubts will minimize anxiety. Currently there is very little information on anxiety during the whole surgical process. Therefore, in the present project the investigators propose to carry out a research study to analyze whether nursing intervention has beneficial results in the surgical patient.
The goal of this is a randomized controlled intervention study. The study was carried out to determine the effect of nebulization treatment applied to 3-6-year-old children with a soundproof, music player and figured mask nebulizer on the child's anxiety during the procedure. The study was completed with 120 children who were admitted to the emergency room and would receive inhalation therapy. There are 3 groups in the study. These were intervention group 1 using sound-insulated music and nebulizer with figured mask, intervention group 2 using silent nebulizer, and control group using nebulizer used in routine.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test an app-based mindfulness training program in an Afro-descendant population. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What changes, if any, does the app need? - Is it effective in reducing anxiety among this population? Participants will be asked to: - Use an app-based mindfulness training program daily - Complete online surveys at baseline and 2 months post-treatment initiation - Complete focused interviews via Zoom at baseline and 2 months post-treatment initiation - Complete daily voice diaries via Zoom
When the literature was reviewed, many studies were found in which various non-pharmacologic interventions such as reflexology, music therapy, slow and deep breathing exercises, relaxation exercises and cold application were examined in the control of pain associated with chest tube removal. However, a limited number of studies have examined the effect of acupressure on the control of pain caused by chest tube removal; there are no studies in which LI4, LI11 and HT7 acupressure points were used and anxiety level and hemodynamic variables were examined along with procedural pain. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acupressure on procedural pain, anxiety and hemodynamic variables after chest tube removal after open heart surgery.
This quantitative study assesses the baseline anxiety, satisfaction with life, and loneliness scores in students and staff in a global study. Assessments at baseline will include the GAD, SWLS, and UCLA loneliness scale, and the same questionnaires were collected in Week 4 and Week 8. The Google form questionnaire will ask the high schoolers and staff for their email address and their parent's email address (if they are under 18). The form will also include a question eliciting interest in participation in the 4-weeks Heartfulness program. The program will include tools that promote a heart-based nurturing environment focusing on relaxation, positivity, and developing growth mindsets.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of the use of mobile application ("OcupApp") to generate a personal self-analysis about meaningful activities in which adults between the ages of 50 and 70 with anxiety and subclinical depression participant. A randomized study will be carried out comparing the effects of the use of the application "OcupApp" with a control intervention on the quality of life related to health, mental health, frequency of participation on meaningful activities, and perceived occupational balance.
This pilot study engaged pregnant couples experiencing elevated symptoms of maternal anxiety or depression with an existing online psychoeducation intervention, the Online Mothers and Babies Course (eMB). The study had three primary aims to assess overall feasibility; 1) explore the feasibility of delivering eMB to couples by assessing recruitment, retainment, and adherence, 2) examine eMB's preliminary efficacy for reducing PMAD symptoms, and 3) describe participants' satisfaction and perceptions about eMB acceptability. The intervention group received the 8-week eMB and the control group received an informational resources sheet.
The purpose of this study is to expand Adhere.ly- a simple, HIPAA-compliant, web-based platform to help therapists engage clients in practicing therapeutic skills between sessions (homework) during mental health treatment by conducting a trial comparing standard therapy to therapy enhanced with Adhere.ly.
the goal of this cluster randomized controlled trial is to assess the effectiveness of smartphone application in reducing the symptoms of Anxiety and depression among adolescents. The main objectives of this trial are: 1. Primary Objective To develop a smart phone application for reduction in depressive and anxiety symptoms in Pakistani adolescents aged 12-18 years 2. Secondary Objectives - To determine the effectiveness of a smart phone application in reduction of anxiety symptoms in Pakistani adolescents aged 12-18 years via a randomized controlled trial - To determine the effectiveness of a smart phone application in reduction of depressive symptoms in Pakistani adolescents aged 12-18 years via a randomized controlled trial - To determine the effectiveness of a smart phone application in improvements of well-being of Pakistani adolescents aged 12-18 years via a randomized controlled trial the randomization will occur at the school level for the intervention group and control group. Students in the intervention group will receive the access to a smartphone application designed to improve the mental health of adolescents, they will be briefed on how to use the application and its advantages. while the students in the control group will receive self-reading pictorial educational leaflets related to mental health improvement. the researcher will conduct the assessment of depression, anxiety and mental wellbeing using PHQ-A, GAD-7 and WHO-5 at baseline, 1 month and at 3 months to compare if the smartphone application is effective in reducing the symptoms of depression and anxiety of adolescents and overall improvement in the mental wellbeing.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a systemic neuro-endocrine-metabolic-reproductive disorder, common in women of reproductive age, affecting 21.27% of women worldwide and the rate of PCOS has been increasing over the past decade. Women with PCOS have many health problems, including insulin resistance, hyperandrogenemia, and ovulation disorders. Moreover, PCOS is also associated with significant consequences such as increased risk of cardiovascular disease, glucose intolerance and diabetes mellitus (both type 2 and gestational), increased risk of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer and mental health disorders. A meta-analysis of 57 studies has been reported that women with PCOS are more likely to have an increased risk of diagnosis of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. These psychological disorders may be related to biometric and biochemical characteristics in women with PCOS, such as body image, hirsutism or acne. Furthermore, researches showed that waist-to-hip ratio and plasmatic levels of testosterone is inversely related to anxiety, psychoticism, hostility and to the indexes of psychological distress. Psychological consequences may also be related to other factors, including stigmatization and isolation, the lack of empathy from family and friends, the feeling of guilt and the diminished sense of self-worth, the costs of treatment and treatment outcomes. However, there has been no data on the psychological disorders in infertile women with PCOS. Therefore, the study aimed to determine the prevalence of anxiety disorders, depression in infertile women with PCOS and associated factors.
