Filter by:The goal of this clinical is to pilot test an internet delivered cognitive behavior therapy (ICBT) based on intolerance of uncertainty (one of several existing specific cognitive models for how worry works) in treating generalised anxiety disorder (GAD). The main aims is to: - Test the preliminary effect of the intervention in lowering symptoms of GAD as measured by the self report scale GAD-7 - Test procedures for recruitment, assessment, treatment and follow up - Test the acceptability of the intervention as measured by the Client Satisfaction questionnaire-8, dropout and adverse events Participants will apply for treatment in an online system, be assessed via video by a licensed clinical psychologist and then receive a 10 week long ICBT intervention based on the intolerance of uncertainty model. This is a pilot study for an upcoming randomized controlled trial.
This randomized controlled study was planned to evaluate the effects of distraction methods, using virtual reality or a stress ball, on the emotional appearance, pain, fear, and anxiety associated with the procedure, during the phlebotomy in children aged 6-12 in a private blood collection unit.
This study aim to evaluate the effect of virtual reality distraction on symptom management and anxiety in children aged 7-18 years with leukemia.
Mind-body exercises is a non-pharmacological intervention to mental health and can improve interoceptive capacity. Interoceptive is linked to the process of sensory information within the body playing an important role in behavior. Consequently, interoceptive can be modulated by mind-body training through sustained attention to breathing signals, certainty of movements, and also related to activation of brain processes. The present study aimed to evaluation the effect of mind-body in interoceptive capacity in individuals with anxiety. An anamnesis will be performed with demographic data, as well as questions about medications and physical and mental health history. After that, subjects will be randomized into an intervention (one session of mind-body exercises) where they will be asked to sit in a comfortable armchair and remain in a comfortable posture with their eyes closed. A meditation will be guided by an audio through headphones. The audio will last 15 minutes with an initial invitation to centering (full attention to the state of the body and the breath, bringing the attention to the present moment), followed by a body scan considering the seven dimensions of interoceptive capacity (noticing, not being distracted, not worrying, attentional regulation, emotional awareness, self-regulation, and trust) and the passive control group (waiting room), after the intervention the same cognitive tests will be reapplied. Then, the groups will be switched for a crossover analysis.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased workload and concerns about personal and family safety for frontline healthcare workers (HCWs), which can lead to decreased well-being and worsening mental health. Sleep disruption is particularly prevalent among HCWs providing frontline COVID-19 care. It can have direct consequences on their cognitive and emotional functioning, as well as on patient safety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBTi) is a first-line treatment for insomnia. It has been shown to improve sleep health and wellbeing in the general population. However, there are significant barriers to delivering CBTi to frontline HCWs, including limited availability of trained sleep therapists and high costs. To address this, a Canada-wide randomized controlled trial is developed to determine the effectiveness of a digital CBTi program on the sleep health, mental health, wellness, and overall quality of life of frontline HCWs caring for COVID-19 patients. This study may provide an easily accessible and scalable sleep health intervention that can be included as part of a national and global response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Earthquakes cause increased mental health problems in the communities they hit. Few attempts have been made to develop effective psychological care strategies for earthquake survivors. Interventions are needed to deal with traumatic stress issues in large populations that survive devastating earthquakes. Fear and anxiety post-traumatic growth and rumination can coexist in individuals after traumatic experiences, and the cognitive pathways leading to them may be different. However, to date, no study has examined the effect of emotion recognition and empathy focused education program on anxiety, rumination and post-traumatic growth levels. This situation constitutes the original value of this project. The aim of this project is to investigate the effect of the emotion recognition and empathy-oriented education program applied to earthquake survivors on children's anxiety, rumination and post-traumatic growth levels. The data of this project, which is planned in accordance with the experimental research principles, will be collected in two primary schools planned to be opened after 13 March 2023. Demographic information form, Event-Related Rumination Inventory, Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory, and Child Anxiety Scale-State and Child Fear Inventory will be used as the project data collection form. The results obtained in this project are planned to be presented as an oral presentation at a national or international congress that will take place in 2023 or 2024 with the theme of child health, nursing or disaster nursing. The data of the research will be evaluated with the SPSS 20.0 program on the computer. Percentage, mean and t test will be used in the analysis of the data. Chi-square test, Sperman correlation and Wilcoxon test will be used for categorical comparisons. The significance level will be accepted as 0.05 in all statistical processes used within the scope of the research. The significance level will be accepted as 0.05 in all statistical processes used within the scope of the research.
The objective of this preliminary study is therefore to assess the feasibility, safety and reduction of perioperative anxiety thanks to acupressing. In addition, patients undergoing oocyte retrieval often present postoperatively with nausea, abdominal pain and discomfort. Acupuncture could also help these patients.
This is a randomized controlled trial that intends to verify the effectiveness of the daily practice of meditation before going to sleep for the improvement of sleep, stress, mental health and quality of life of people with sleep problems.
The purpose of this study is to determine the immediate effect of the suboccipital release technique on trapezius muscle pain threshold, muscle activation, and anxiety level in individuals with anxiety.Thirty-six people with anxiety symptoms were included in the study. These people were divided into two groups, 18 control group and 18 treatment group. Upper trapezius muscle pain threshold, muscle activation and anxiety levels were evaluated. The experimental group received a single session of suboccipital release technique. The control group received a single session of sham suboccipital release. The evaluations were performed before and immediately after the treatment.The suboccipital release technique can increase the trapezius muscle upper part pain threshold and concentric muscle activation immediately after the application in individuals with anxiety.
The concept of cognitive stimulation in AD is one of the most popular approaches. Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is stated to be evidence-based best practice with robust clinical trials, administered according to specific guidelines for individuals with mild to moderate dementia. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of CST application on the levels of apathy, loneliness, anxiety and daily living activities in elderly individuals with Alzheimer's disease. This research was planned in an experimental research design with a single center and pretest posttest control group. The research was planned to be carried out between January 2023 and June 202 at the Moral House of Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality, Department of Disabled and Health Services. Introductory Information Form, Standardized Mini-Mental Test, Geriatric Anxiety Scale, Apathy Rating Scale, Loneliness Scale and Functional Disability in Dementia Scale will be used in the research. CST will be administered by a researcher trained in therapy, 2 days a week, for a total of 14 sessions of 45-50 minutes. There will be a pre-test before the application, an intermediate test right after the application, and a post-test three months later. Research data will be evaluated in SPSS 25.0 New York package program.
