Filter by:Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive endoscopic technique that allows direct visualization of the uterine cavity and constitutes the gold standard for the diagnosis and treatment of most intrauterine pathology, such as heavy menstrual bleeding, fibroids, endometrial polyps, uterine malformations, etc. The "see and treat" strategy allows diagnosis and treatment in the same surgical act, and gives the technique a high resolution capacity, reducing the number of procedures the patient must undergo. The technological development of instruments has made it possible to have small-caliber endoscopic systems that have made this technique possible in an outpatient setting. Outpatient management allows patients to avoid the possible risks and inconveniences associated with the surgical environment, such as the waiting list and the need for anesthesia, as well as an earlier return to their activities of daily life. Despite the high resolution rates, a not inconsiderable percentage of women experience anxiety or pain during outpatient hysteroscopy, and this is the leading cause of treatment failure. In order to improve the tolerance and comfort of the patient, the usefulness of various strategies, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, has been evaluated for pain reduction, with different results. Virtual Reality (VR) has been used successfully to reduce perceived pain in various procedures such as chronic pain, burns, dental processes, chronic pruritus or venipuncture. There is no published study to our knowledge that evaluates the usefulness of VR in reducing the levels of anxiety and pain perceived during a hysteroscopic procedure. The working hypothesis to be evaluated with this study is that the use of a VR device with reproduction of relaxing and distraction environments reduces the perception of pain and anxiety of the patient during an outpatient hysteroscopy.
Anesthetic inhalation induction could be one of the most stressful experiences for children during the perioperative period, with almost 50% of them showing anxiety. It is an essential challenge for pediatric anesthesiologists on how to decrease anxiety for children in the operating room (OR) environment and to facilitate a smooth induction of anesthesia. Various factors like parental separation, unfamiliar surroundings, fear of physicians and needle injections can increase their preoperative anxiety. The researchers conducted the current study to investigate whether intranasal remimazolam can reduce anxiety in children before surgery.
The purpose of the current study is to examine the efficacy of Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals (EFIT) as a treatment for depression and anxiety. It is formulated as a trans-diagnostic treatment in line with the call for more transdiagnostic approaches to treat depression and anxiety given the many similarities in the underlying psychological and emotional factors of these disorders, the high levels of co-morbidity, and the preliminary success of transdiagnostic treatment approaches. EFIT has been formulated as an attachment-based alternative to current cognitive transdiagnostic approaches. The strong evidence for insecure attachment as an underlying factor in psychopathology, especially depression and anxiety, positions this theory well as a foundational principle to support psychotherapy for these conditions. EFIT has been formulated for the first time this year in the book that will serve as the therapy manual for this study. The current study aims to examine EFIT outcomes as compared to a control group (a wait-list control followed by online CBT intervention after the wait period). In particular, this research project aims to distinguish differences in initial and follow-up outcomes between EFIT versus control, and demonstrate significant changes in attachment/emotions and mechanisms of change across EFIT sessions. The primary hypotheses are outlined below.
evaluating the effectiveness of smartphone applications (Tell-Play-Do) (TPD) in reduction of preoperative anxiety in children undergoing restorative treatment, as measured by heart rate and Venham's Picture Test.
The purpose of this research study is to collect information to better understand caregiver responses to COVID-19 stress and to help caregivers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) cope with these stressors.
Peripheral Intravenous Cannulation (PIVC), one of the most common therapeutic procedures in medical care, can be difficult even for experienced medical practitioners. The pain of intravenous cannulation is considered the major limitation in pediatric clinical care. Reducing the pain of intravenous cannulation has been the motive for many investigations. Intervention methods used to reduce the distress related to painful procedures are widely recommended. The management of pain and anxiety is more essential because it may modify children's memory for procedural pain and the subsequent acceptance of later health care painful interventions. Distraction is the most studied psychological technique to relieve venipuncture-related pain and distress, with strong evidence supporting its efficacy in children. Art therapy commonly used to reduce pain and anxiety of children's disease but was not used in reducing distress outcomes of painful procedures. We used a collection of the image need for coloring and tracing called Trace Image and Coloring for Kids-Book (TICK-B). The purpose of this study is to exam the effectiveness of TICK-B in decreasing pain and anxiety during cannulation.
The research purpose is to investigate the effectiveness of abdominal breathing training on reducing anxiety. This study is an experimental research design. Using a randomized controlled trial approach. The patients receiving the intervention of abdominal breathing training were in the experimental group, while those who did not receive it were in the control group.
In the proposed study the outcome of administering parental guidance, based on the Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) program, to parents of highly dependent adult children will be explored. The proposed study's primary purpose is to assess the outcome of parental guidance. In addition, the study will also examine participants' acceptance and adherence to this parental guidance method.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. Anxiety and depression often accompany the treatment phase of oncology patients. Since both anxiety and depression are associated with increased inflammatory activity, these preoperative symptoms may predispose patients to the development of postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction. The aim of this study is to reveal the correlation of preoperative anxiety with early postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients with breast cancer who will undergo surgery.
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected individuals not only physiologically but also psychologically. The aim of this study is to examine the anxiety and depression status of cancer patients, individuals with non-cancer chronic diseases and healthy individuals with an online screening questionnaire during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
