Filter by:This study will help the investigators understand whether it is feasible and acceptable for people to practice trauma-informed yoga using a pre-recorded video. This study will also explore the immediate effects of trauma-informed yoga on anxiety, mindfulness, and body awareness. The results of this study will inform future research on remote delivery of trauma-informed yoga for supporting psychological wellbeing.
The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially increased the risk of adverse mental health outcomes; while physical distancing is required to reduce infection risk, it also increases loneliness and isolation and prevents access to traditional in-person therapy, which further contribute to risk of adverse mental health outcomes. These problems may be especially acute for individuals with social anxiety disorder (as many as 12% of Americans), however there is a limited evidence-base for telehealth options to directly address social anxiety. This project aims to adapt exposure therapy for social anxiety to a telehealth and physical distancing-compatible intervention, and test whether this effectively decreases loneliness in adults with elevated social anxiety.
Adult patients aged 18-50 undergoing blood draw for routine lab evaluation will be randomized to a control group or experimental group to assess if the use of virtual reality reduces procedural pain (primary outcome) and procedural anxiety (secondary outcome) during venipuncture.
This project seeks to know the prevalence of mental health problems among undergraduate students, through internationally and nationally validated screening instruments. The project also aims to understand better the associated factors contributing to the mental health problems of this population. Through the critical analysis of the results, our proposal aims to establish the prevalence of anxiety, depression, suicidality and substance use, and the association with socioeconomic features, academic stress, sense of belonging to the university, interpersonal relationships, and sleep habits among other factors. Once finalized the study, the results obtained will be disseminated to the university community and published in peer-reviewed journals. The results will help the university authorities to design and implement measures to prevent mental health problems in this community.
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of breast cancer, and also of depression which can affect the ability to deal with cancer. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of a group psychotherapy with elements of music therapy in a population of patients suffering from breast cancer, treated with surgery and undergoing post-operative RT. Study outcomes will be the following: 1. Effectiveness of the proposed intervention especially on anxiety and depression, as described by changes in psychometric test scores. 2. Changes of oxidative stress and inflammation markers, such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-PCR), fibrinogen and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-LPLA2), GSH, TBARS, IL4, IL6, TNF-α, α and γ tocopherol, carotenoids, folic acid, vitamin B12. 3. Correlation between changes of markers (see point 2) and the clinical/psychometric variables under study. Methods This is a prospective randomized monocentric study, which will involve patients diagnosed with early stage invasive breast cancer (pTis-1-2 N0-1 M0), who underwent conservative surgery, and candidates for adjuvant RT. Patients will be identified during the RT visit. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria and who have signed informed consent will be randomized (1:1) as follows: group supportive psychotherapy with elements of music therapy (PSY); control group - treatment as usual (TAU ). Patients will undergo psychometric assessment and blood sampling (10 ml) at T0 (baseline), T1 (last day of RT), T2 (3 months after the end of RT). Study duration will be one year; during the first 9 months, patients will be recruited and treated, in the following period follow-up evaluations will be completed and data analyses will be conducted. Sample size Based on literature data, indicating average anxiety ranges measured with a STAI score from 43.4 to 46.2 and assuming, in the experimental group, a clinically significant reduction of 9 points (Bulfone 2009, Rossetti 2017), 24 patients per group have to be enrolled (alpha: 0.05; Beta: 0.20). Statistical analysis A simple randomization in 1:1 ratio will be carried out. Differences between the 2 groups will be used to assess the impact of psychotherapy intervention with elements of music therapy. A descriptive statistical analysis and estimate of relative risks will be performed.
The aim of this study is to explore the overall effectiveness of interventions using mobile health care to improve disease perception, self-efficacy, anxiety, cardio-pulmonary fitness for patients with acute myocardial infarction.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of VR distraction on reducing anxiety patients undergoing interventional pain procedures compared to placebo/active placebo or a non VR option.
This study investigates the prevalence, phenomenology, and correlates of anxiety in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) across a two-year period. Attention bias to threat, a potential objective marker of anxiety, also is examined using eye tracking methods.
Objective: The research was conducted to determine the effect of music and nutrition played together with motivational video on non-stress test (NST) result and mother's anxiety level. Method: The study was conducted as a randomized controlled clinical trial. The sample of the study consisted of 360 pregnant women, two experimental and one control group (120 pregnant women in each). In the study, pregnant women in the first experimental group were provided to consume cake and fruit juice 30 minutes before the NST procedure. The second experimental group was provided to eat fruit juice and cake before NST, and the video created with a similar content was given about the developments and changes occurring in the mother and fetus during pregnancy, and was watched for about 15-20 minutes during the NST procedure accompanied by music that provided relaxation. The data of the study were collected by using the Participant Presentation Form, NST evaluation form and State Anxiety Inventory.
INTRODUCTION Patients who will have obesity surgery have about %48 psychiatric illnesses like anxiety disorder. Studies which analyze the relationship between preoperative anxiety level and postoperative pain had reported conflicting results. The aim of this study is to search the relationship between preoperative anxiety level and postoperative pain and analgesic consumption in patients who had laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Our prospective double-blind study is planned to require 86 female patients aged between 18-65 years old, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-II and Body mass index (BMI) ≥40 kg/m^2. Patients having a psychiatric or neurologic disease, brain damage, using psychiatric medications (antidepressants, anxiolytics) and chronic alcohol, known allergy to medications used in the study protocol, inability to provide informed consent will be excluded. Patients will be wanted to fill the Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory the night before the surgery. The analgesic consumption of the patients will be recorded by evaluating the pain with Visual analog scale (VAS) and sedation status with Ramsay's sedation scale in the 1st, 4th, 12th and 24th hour of postoperative period. EXPECTATIONS AND SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS More satisfying postoperative analgesia may be provided in this group of patients by determining correlation between preoperative anxiety level and postoperative pain and analgesic consumption in patients who had laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Morbidity rate related with pain may be decreased and patient satisfaction may be increased.
