Filter by:The objective of the study is to determine the impacts of a 2-week relaxing music intervention on stress, anxiety, and gut symptoms in individuals who regularly perform structured aerobic exercise. Gut symptoms like bloating, reflux, cramping, nausea, etc. are relatively common during prolonged aerobic exercise. In addition, previous research has established that levels of anxiety and stress are associated with a higher occurrence of these gut symptoms. Relaxing music has reduced anxiety in certain populations, but currently, no studies are available on its effects on anxiety, stress, and gut symptoms in people who regularly do aerobic exercise.
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of showing images of the fetus to the pregnant women with the virtual reality glass during labor process on labor pain, birth perception and anxiety level. Background: Virtual reality (VR) is an effective and inexpensive method that allows the creation of simulated scenarios in which it interacts with the virtual environment with multisensory stimuli. Methods: This is a randomized controlled experimental study. The study included 100 pregnant women of whom 50 in the intervention group and 50 in the control group. Ultrasound images of the fetus were recorded on the 28th week of pregnancy of the women in the intervention group. These images were shown to the women with the virtual reality glass during labor process. Routine procedures were carried out for the women in the control group. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was applied to both groups when cervical dilatation was 4 cm and 9 cm. The Women's Perception for the Scale of Supportive Care Given During Labor (POBS) and the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS) were applied almost two hours after labor. Keywords: Virtual reality, labor, pain, anxiety.
The investigators predict that decreased heart rate variability and poor sleep quality will be significantly correlated with higher self-reported anxiety following brain injury.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of education and music listening on the anxiety and physiological parameters experienced by individuals undergoing elective coronary angiography.
Compassion-focused imagery (CFI, in which one imagines receiving or giving compassion) can be an effective emotion-regulation technique but some individuals respond as if it is a threat. However, these findings have been based on tasks involving receiving compassion from others. This study sought to examine whether CFI involving self-compassion is less threatening than relaxation and whether any threat-responses decrease with practice. This study will compare the effects of CFI, relaxation and a control task and will explore their effects on self-report symptoms and physiology. It is hypothesized that CFI involving self-compassion is less threatening than relaxation and that any threat-responses decrease with practice.
This study aims to investigate the effect of Traditional Turkish Military music on patients who will have Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography Procedure on vital signs, anxiety, and pain. This will be a randomized controlled experimental study. The study will be conducted with two groups: the intervention group (n=36) and the control group (n=36). The control group will receive standard care while the intervention group, in addition to standard care, will be listened to Traditional Turkish Military music, which consists of music selected by an expert on the type of music, by the researchers for 15 minutes before the procedure.
This study aims to investigate the effect of music listening on patients who will have Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography Procedure on vital signs, anxiety, and pain. This will be a randomized controlled experimental study. The study will be conducted with two groups: the intervention group (n=35) and the control group (n=35). The control group will receive standard care while the intervention group, in addition to standard care, will be listened to music by the researchers for 15 minutes before the procedure.
This pilot project will evaluate the potential of an affordable smartphone app to improve users' mental well-being.
The widespread use of smartphones today has led to the emergence of new ways of teaching, such as mobile learning. This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of mobile learning on students' success and anxiety in teaching the anatomy of the genital system. This research is a randomized controlled experimental study conducted with students who took anatomy classes at a private university between November-December 2018.The sampling consisted of 63 students who met the sampling criteria of the study and who were given permission to participate in the research after the information was explained. Control (n=31) and experimental group (n = 32) were determined by randomization using simple numbers table. The mobile application developed for the experimental group was installed on the students' android devices with the extension "genitalsystem.apk".The anatomy of the genital system was taught to the control group with a standard curriculum and to the experimental group via the mobile learning. In this context, the study hypothesizes that mobile learning is effective in teaching the anatomy of the genital system, and that the success levels of students who receive an education through mobile learning are higher and their anxiety levels are lower than those who receive education through traditional methods.
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by inability of the heart to pump an adequate amount of blood. Heart failure affects patients' ability to carry out even simple activities of daily living and therefore has negative psychological impact. Many studies reported that depression is prevalent among HF patients and it is being associated with high morbidity, mortality and costs. The European Society of Cardiology guidelines stresses the importance of routine depression screening with a validated questionnaire and initiating treatment for depression for all depressed HF patients and their access to psychological treatment. The community heart failure nurses provide the integrated heart failure service in the local area of Southwark and Lambeth in South London. The aim of the integrated heart failure team in the community is to provide the HF treatment effectively, help patients understand and manage their symptoms and support with lifestyle changes. Even though, the community HF nurses have extensive role in managing HF patients in the community, their role in assessing anxiety and depression; and providing psychological treatment needs to be further explored. Therefore, there is a need to assess the process by which community HF nurses assess and manage anxiety and depression. This current study builds on our recent systematic review which illustrated how cognitive behaviour therapy is effective at improving depressive symptoms in HF, but more studies are needed to build on these findings. The findings from this review will be used to examine the perspectives on assessing, managing and treating depression and anxiety in HF patients. In this current study, an online focus group with community heart failure nurses and qualitative telephone/online interviews with community-based HF patients will be undertaken to explore their views and experiences in managing depression and anxiety; and to assess whether COMPASS a web-based intervention would be useful. Also, this study will explore the impact of COVID-19 on the psychological wellbeing of community-based HF patients.
