Filter by:We plan to evaluate the potential of binaural beat stimulation as a cost-effective tool to improve perioperative patient outcome. Preoperative anxiety and postoperative neurocognitive disorders are two major issues patients have to deal with in the perioperative period. In this context, preoperative stress and anxiety are independent risk factors for postoperative neurocognitive disorders. The primary goal of our proposed study therefore is to reduce preoperative anxiety by stimulating patients with binaural beats. As binaural beats might also entrain brainwaves, the secondary goal of the study is to investigate whether binaural beats can induce alpha oscillatory activity during emergence from anesthesia. This type of oscillation has been demonstrated to be protective for postoperative neurocognitive disorders and might therefore complement the effects of preoperative anxiety reduction.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of breath exercise on post-operative anxiety level, sleep and recovery quality after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surger. This was a randomized controlled experimental study. The sample comprised 115 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (control:57; experimental:58). One day before the operation, the participants in the experimental group were given breathing exercise training, and they were applied 5 times a day for 10 repetitions until the 30th day after the operation.
Anxiety-depressive disorders are also very frequent, in the form of different pathologies that are often intertwined (prevalence of generalized anxiety disorders in 5% of the population, characterized depressive episodes in 5%, etc.). And it is even more frequent in patients with a cuff tendinopathy (26% and 23% of depression and anxiety respectively). These 2 pathologies are therefore responsible for significant economic expenses. It is in this context that the investigators' wish to carry out this study seems justified in order to better understand and therefore manage this problem, which is frequently encountered in daily practice and which would therefore allow better understanding and therefore better information for the patients concerned.
There are already recently published data on the tolerability and efficacy of the combination of ketamine and/or esketamine with MAOIs. However, these reports are few and far between, and to our knowledge, there are no data involving intranasal esketamine. Given the numerous interactions between MAOIs and other antidepressants, and the impossibility of combination, this pharmacological class is neglected. This is despite the fact that MAOIs are the only truly tri-aminergic drugs, that they have unparalleled efficacy in certain forms of resistant apathetic depression, and that new, more dietary permissive forms have appeared on the market. The arrival of antidepressants that can be combined with MAOIs, such as ketamine and esketamine, changes the situation and could offer a new treatment opportunity to many patients in a therapeutic impasse. For these opportunities to become a reality, sharing the clinical experience gained by specialized centers is essential.
Public safety personnel (PSP; e.g., border services personnel, correctional workers, firefighters, paramedics, police, public safety communicators) are frequently exposed to potentially psychologically traumatic events. Such events contribute to substantial and growing challenges from posttraumatic stress injuries (PTSIs), including but not limited to posttraumatic stress disorder. The PSP PTSI Study has been designed to evaluate an evidence-informed, proactive system of mental health assessment and training among Royal Canadian Mounted Police (www.rcmpstudy.ca) for delivery among diverse PSP (i.e., firefighters, municipal police, paramedics, public safety communicators). The training is based on the Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders, adapted for PSP, and named Emotional Resilience Skills Training (ERST). The subsequent PSP PTSI Study results are expected to benefit the mental health of all participants and, ultimately, all PSP.
The study was planned as a block randomized controlled experimental study. In order to calculate the sample size needed in our study, a pilot study will be conducted and a priori power analysis will be made based on the results of this study. E-mobile application will be used as data collection tool. The research will be carried out with 2 groups as application (mobile application) and control (standard care).
placenta previa is an obstetric complication which is associated with depression and anxiety. As little is known about the emotional reaction to the diagnosis of placenta previa/accrete, a study is badly needed to estimate the magnitude of this problem and its effects on the mother
This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a remotely-delivered, technology-assisted psychotherapy program, supported by an innovative software platform for people with cognitive impairment experiencing anxiety.
Latin dance is a kind of sports dance, which originated in Latin America, includes the rumba, samba, Cha Cha Cha, bullfighting dances and cowboy dances. Latin dance has bright and strong music rhythm, passion, bold, romantic style, Latin dance has a positive effect on physical and mental health. Latin dance offers a unique dimension that traditional aerobic exercise does not, namely interpersonal communication and interactivity. Dancing may provide additional cognitive benefits compared to other forms of PA, such as walking. Latin dance also provides a unique dimension that traditional aerobic exercise does not, that is, it is a complex sensory-motor rhythmic activity that integrates a variety of physical, cognitive and social factors. Based on the unique charm of Latin dance and previous articles on the influence of dance on social physique anxiety and physical self-esteem, there are few articles on Latin dance, and none of them have studied the influence of Latin dance on these two variables. This study analyzes the Latin dance on the social physique anxiety and physical self-esteem of middle school girls and provides theoretical support for the study to improve the social physique anxiety and physical self-esteem of middle school students, as well as to promote Latin dance. To promote the diversification of Chinese middle school sports in dance teaching.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), like all public safety personnel (PSP), are frequently exposed to potentially psychologically traumatic events that contribute to posttraumatic stress injuries (PTSI). Addressing PTSI is impeded by the limited available research. The RCMP are working to build evidence-based solutions to PTSI and other mental health challenges facing their members, which by extension will help all PSP, as part of the Canadian Government Federal Framework on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. A key element is the "Longitudinal Study of Operational Stress Injuries / Étude longitudinale sur les traumatismes liés au stress opérationnel", a study which has been renamed "Risk and Resiliency Factors in the RCMP: A Prospective Investigation", and is referred to as the "RCMP Study" for short. The RCMP Study has been detailed online (www.rcmpstudy.ca) and in a recently published peer-reviewed protocol paper, "The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Study: protocol for a prospective investigation of mental health risk and resilience factors" (https://doi.org/10.24095/hpcdp.42.8.02). The RCMP Study, part of the concerted efforts by the RCMP to reduce PTSI by improving access to evidence-based assessments, treatments, and training as well as participant recruitment and RCMP Study developments to date. The RCMP Study has been designed to (1) develop, deploy and assess the impact of a system for ongoing annual, monthly and daily evidence-based assessments; (2) evaluate associations between demographic variables and PTSI; (3) longitudinally assess individual differences associated with PTSI; (4) augment the RCMP Cadet Training Program with skills to proactively mitigate PTSI; and (5) assess the impact of the augmented training condition (ATC) versus the standard training condition (STC). Participants in the STC (n = 480) and ATC (n = 480) are assessed before and after training and annually for 5 years on their deployment date; they also complete brief monthly and daily surveys. The RCMP Study results are expected to benefit the mental health of all participants, RCMP and PSP by reducing PTSI among all who serve.
