Filter by:H1a: Between the women receiving discharge training with the PechaKucha method by using smartphones and the women taking the routine discharge training in the early postpartum period, there is a statistically significant difference in the discharge readiness levels. H1b: Between the women receiving discharge training with the PechaKucha method by using smartphones and the women taking the routine discharge training in the early postpartum period, there is a statistically significant difference in the anxiety levels. H0a: Between the women receiving discharge training with the PechaKucha method by using smartphones and the women taking the routine discharge training in the early postpartum period, there is no statistically significant difference in the discharge readiness levels. H0b: Between the women receiving discharge training with the PechaKucha method by using smartphones and the women taking the routine discharge training in the early postpartum period, there is no statistically significant difference in the anxiety levels.
The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic may be considered a traumatic phenomenon. In a sample of subjects suffering from different psychiatric disorders, psychopathological status and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms over time are assessed using specific psychometric scales. In a sample of healthy controls PTSD symptoms are evaluated by Impact of Event Scale Revised (IES-R) and compared to patients' scores. We hypothesize that a significant number of psychiatric outpatients have experienced a clinical psychopathological worsening and a greater prevalence of PTSD symptoms compared to the general population. The study of the potential psychopathological changes could represent a useful contribution to deepen the understanding of psychological consequences of the pandemic.
Stoma has serious psychosocial effects on patients. Stoma prehabilitation has a potential to overcome these problems. Patients in prehabilitation group were attached with a water-filled stoma pouch (250 ml) 48 hours before surgery. These pouches were not removed until surgery, and enterostomal therapy nurse preoperatively taught the patients how to manage the stoma pouch with similar standards as the usual postoperative stoma-care. This study aims to measure the effects of prehabilitation on stoma self-care, quality of life, anxiety and depression levels.
Childhood pain can cause long-term and psychologically harmful effects. Music can reduce pain and anxiety. This study aimed to investigate the effects of the mother-sung lullaby during vaccine administration on vaccine-induced pain in babies and anxiety in mothers.
The present study aims to examine the effects of Xbox Kinect exercise training program on the sleep quality, anxiety and functional capacity in older adults. Older adults were randomized into two groups. The XBOX group performed exercise with Xbox Kinect during 60 min, three times/week for 6 weeks. The CONTROL group did not exercise. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to evaluate sleep quality, anxiety symptoms by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the functional capacity was analyzed using following tests: Chair Stand Test, 8-Foot Up and Go Test, and 6-min Walk Test.
Venipuncture is one of the most common stressful procedures in children. Managing pain and fear of venipuncture procedure recommended strongly because it may change children's memory for procedural pain and the subsequent acceptance of later health care painful interventions. Prior painful experiences can reduce the acceptance of later health care, hence making it more difficult for both patients and nurses. There was clear evidence that the distraction method is the most performed as a psychological technique performed to decrease venipuncture-related pain and distress and supporting its efficacy in children. The aim of this study to investigate the effectiveness of TICK-B on children's pain and anxiety during venipuncture procedure.
The covid-19 pandemic started to spread worldwide since December 2019. It promoted to an exaggerated psychological stress and anxiety in humans due to the intolerable symptoms higher than usual death of many infected patients. This study examines the corona related anxiety and if there is need for drug intervention to treat this anxiety. To answer these questions, a survey made to the hospitalized patients including sex, age, educational level, Marital state, and a standardized questionnaires (GAD-7 and PHQ-9) which has been validated and shown to possess good psychometric qualities in studies of participants from multiple populations.
The effect of iCBT for adults with anxiety disorders is well-known. However, drop-out rates are common. In recent years more focus has been directed to the importance of patients being active agents in their own care and to increase the patient´s involvement in health care. Studies show that involving patients´ in treatment decisions and management of their own health care can contribute to better treatment outcomes and more appropriate use of health care service. Few studies have evaluated patient involvement in iCBT-treatment. This study aims to evaluate the effect of patient-driven iCBT-treatment for patients with anxiety disorders seeking primary care in a randomized controlled trial. The study investigates the effect of patient-driven iCBT treatment of perceptions of being able to control the treatment and on drop-out from treatment. In addition, secondary research questions investigate measures of empowerment, anxiety and depression symptoms, general disability, satisfaction with treatment and feelings of being able to cope with one's mental illness in patient-driven iCBT.
Rationale: Lack of postoperative acute pain management is associated with increased morbidity, longer recovery time, more opioid use and subsequently increased health care costs. There is increasing evidence virtual reality (VR) is effective in the reduction of acute pain. Alternative methods to reduce postoperative pain and multimodal analgesia are necessary for acute postoperative pain management and to reduce opioid use and their adverse effects. Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the effect of VR on pain in the immediate postoperative period after elective gynecological surgery. Secondary objectives are evaluating pre-and postoperative anxiety, pain catastrophizing, analgesic use, length of hospital stay between both groups and to explore tolerability, feasibility and satisfaction of VR use. Study design: The study concerns a non-blinded, single centre, randomised controlled trial. Study population: Eligible women fulfill the inclusion criteria and receive elective gynecological surgery in the Zuyderland Medical Centre location Heerlen. Intervention: The study population will be randomly divided into the intervention group (VR-group) or the standard care- group. The intervention group can choose for an immersive guided relaxation VR experience or an interactive VR experience during the pre- and postoperative period additional to the usual standard care. The participants randomised to the standard care- group will receive only the usual standard care pre-and postoperative. Main study parameters: The primary outcome is postoperative pain measured on a numeric rating scale (NRS). A total of 30 patients have to be included in each group. This means that a total of 60 women will have to be included in the study. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The study population experiences a small medical risk when participating to this study. They can experience side-effects of VR for example dizziness or nausea and in rare cases epileptic insults. Participants of the study have to fill in a questionnaire before randomization and pre-and postoperative score of pain and anxiety on a zero to ten score scale.
Given the high prevalence of neuraxial analgesia use during labor and the anxiety associated with these procedures, a method to decrease this anxiety could benefit millions of laboring women each year. Mindfulness practice has been used by many groups to decrease anxiety during pregnancy with optimistic results. However, there has been no major study evaluating the role of mindfulness interventions on anxiety associated with neuraxial placement. The purpose of our study is to address this gap in knowledge.
