Filter by:Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy are invasive procedures that enable the diagnosis, diagnosis, treatment, biopsy, photo and video recording of the gastrointestinal tract. It has an important place in clinical use for diagnosis and treatment and these procedures are common. When the studies are examined; while the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease was 8.8% -25.9% in Europe, approximately 20% of the population in the world were found to have dyspeptic complaints. In the UK, 41,000 new colorectal cancers were diagnosed in 2014 and 132700 new cases were detected in the United States in 2015. In the European Union countries, the incidence of gastrointestinal cancer reported in 2012 is 684,000 cases. During endoscopic interventions in our country; in Turkey; people may experience high levels of anxiety considering the negative consequences of discomfort and pain.In such cases, nurses should make attempts to reduce the anxiety of the person by predicting that people may have anxiety. Non-pharmacological methods that may reduce anxiety include; pre-treatment training, aromatherapy, acupuncture, hypnosis. Eliminating or reducing anxiety as much as possible will help increase the comfort of both the patient and the endoscopist in these invasive procedures. In our study, our aim was to evaluate the effect of non-pharmacological methods on the preoperative lavender smell.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of pure binaural beats on anxiety levels and pain scores using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in male patients undergoing DC and USR procedures under local anesthesia.
This is a prospective, multisite (but all within the UTSW IRB), observational study assessing the relationship of hope to anxiety and depression, QoL, and social support over time in the first year after cancer diagnosis or relapse in AYA (ages 15-29 years of age).
The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of sweet in compare to virtual reality (VR) device in reducing injection pain and anxiety associated with local anesthesia in pediatric dental patients. The clinical trial is a randomized split-mouth assignment. Included patients are 5 - 12 years old requiring local anesthetic infiltration with conventional syringe (CS) for conservative treatment of two primary maxillary molars bilaterally. Eligible patients undergo two single-visit treatments after CFSS-DS measurement before each, whereas sweet is allocated to first local anesthesia procedure and VR is allocated to second local anesthesia procedure. Primary outcome measure will be pain felt during injection, reported by patient on visual analogue scale (VAS). Secondary outcome measures: self-reported anxiety during injection on FIS; pain-related behavior according to FLACC scale; heart-rate dynamics; patient preference to local anesthesia method - CS+sweet or CS+VR.
The primary purpose of this study is to explore whether the efficiency of treatment for anxiety and depressive disorders can be increased using two discrete strategies: personalized skill ordering and 2) treatment discontinuation based on proximal indicators of improvements. The present study will specifically use treatment components drawn from an evidence-based psychological intervention, the Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP). This intervention has strong empirical support for patients presenting with anxiety, depressive, and related disorders and contains therapeutic skills that are common in psychological interventions (e.g., psychoeducation, mindfulness training, cognitive restructuring, countering emotional avoidance, increasing interoceptive tolerance). This study will determine if prioritizing the order of treatment modules to capitalize on patient strengths or compensate for weakensses increases treatmen efficacy. Additionally, it will also identify under what conditions briefer treatment modules may be appropriate.
Our previous pilot study (N = 40) suggested that group Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for perinatal anxiety (CBT-PA) significantly reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression from pre- to post- intervention. CBT-PA is based on the general principles of CBT but specific themes and examples are geared towards pregnancy and postpartum periods. The 6-week treatment protocol addresses: (1) understanding anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum, (2) self-care, (3) setting goals and facing fears, (4) nurturing the developing relationship with baby, (5) coping with negative thoughts and worries, and (6) relapse prevention. This intervention and all assessment interviews will be conducted via a hospital-approved video-conferencing platform. All assessment questionnaires will be completed on SurveyGizmo. The objectives of the present study are: (1) to replicate these findings of the pilot study in a larger sample (N = 58) in a randomized controlled trial (RCT), (2) compare the effectiveness of CBT-PA to a control treatment (waitlist control), (3) evaluate the durability of treatment gains at 1-month and 3-months after the conclusion of treatment, (4) evaluate patient preferences in terms of the relevance and the acceptability of the CBT-PA protocol, (5) examine whether the degree of childbirth stress impacts patient response to CBT-PA to inform future refinements to the treatment, and (6) determine whether CBT-PA improves maternal efficacy and attachment with baby. This research is being conducted because many women suffer from perinatal anxiety and have difficulty accessing services in a timely manner. It is the hope that the findings of this study will have clinical significance in terms of providing additional support for CBT as an effective treatment for perinatal anxiety. It is the hope that this treatment will have mental and physical health benefits for the mothers directly, as well as mental and physical health benefits to their fetuses and infants.
Anxiety and apprehension are common among patients prior to surgery. This anxiety can lead to additional discomfort, increased pain sensation and increased stress symptoms. Virtual exposure has proven to be successful in exposure therapy for the treatment of the narrowest patients. Patients are not confronted with the real stimuli or situations that trigger the branches, but with virtual representations of them. Virtual reality (VR) makes it possible to create scenarios that would not be possible in reality because of the organisational, time or financial expenditure involved.The effectiveness of virtual stimulus exposure is well documented, especially in the case of object or situation-related fears in the context of specific phobias. It is therefore obvious that virtual stimulus exposure could also be suitable for minimising operation-associated fears.The research project described is designed to investigate the effect of virtual stimulus exposure on perioperative anxiety. For this purpose, a virtual tour of the operating setting has been created, which enables patients to explore the surroundings in detail by means of VR glasses.
The goal of this application is to collect survey data indicating the effects of a digital Yoga Nidra practice on anxiety and sleep during COVID-19. We will explore effects on momentary anxiousness, as well as on sleep. Participants will be consented through REDCap during the Yoga Nidra class, then asked to complete an intake form, a sleep questionnaire (composed of questions from the Post Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ)) and a pre/post State Trait Anxiety (STAI) Index, surrounding the practice. Participants will receive an email the next morning, inquiring about their sleep (~2 min survey), and again the following week, the morning of the Yoga Nidra class, in order to remind them about the weekly class offering and also to collect sleep data for a night that did not include pre-bed Yoga Nidra. We will additionally report feasibility measures including enrollment, retention, qualitative feedback, and challenges of using the digital platform. Using this data, we will gain valuable feasibility data for implementation of this type of mind-body practice using digital platforms. We will also gain important data on the effects of this practice on anxiety and sleep.
