Filter by:The present study is a randomized clinical trial of an emotional awareness and expression intervention (EAET) and a mindfulness meditation intervention (MMT) for Wayne State University students with anxiety and somatic symptoms. Each of these treatments will be compared to a wait list control condition and to one another to evaluate how well the treatments improve physical and psychological symptoms, stress, and interpersonal functioning of 120 Wayne State University students at 4-week and 8-weeks post-randomization. This research is intended to provide an evidence-based approach to working with emotions to improve both anxiety and somatic symptoms in young adults and will illuminate how EAET compares to the commonly used mindfulness training. It is hypothesized that both active interventions will be superior to no treatment, and differences between the two treatments will be explored.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the correlation between ANI and pain scores and the correlation of ANI and anxiety scores in communicative patients in palliative care. The chosen event with a risk of pain and/or anxiety is the first bed bath after admission. The secondary objectives aim to identify ANI score thresholds which would be predictive of pain and/or anxiety and to figure out some individual factors influencing ANI scores.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of adding a palliative care intervention for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) to current standard of care. Palliative care is comprehensive, coordinated interdisciplinary care for patients and families facing a potentially life-threatening illness. This consists of specially trained teams of professionals including physicians, nurses, social workers, and chaplains that provide care and support in inpatient and outpatient settings. While the specific assistance and support provided by the Palliative Care Service depends on individual patient and family needs and preferences, it may include: 1. Pain and symptom management 2. Psychosocial and spiritual support 3. Assistance with treatment choices 4. Help in planning for care in the community
The overall aim of this program of research is to decrease anxiety in urogical scheduled patients for surgical intervention developing an nursing comunication instrument: a Guide of Hosting for urogical scheduled patients for surgical intervention.
The purpose of this research is to test the feasibility of an intervention using biofeedback to treat stress and anxiety among individuals with tetraplegia. The expected duration of participation in this study is about 5 hours over the course of about 5 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a biofeedback training intervention or a control group. After completing questionnaires, participants will undergo physiological monitoring for the purpose of measuring heart rate and breathing. Those assigned to the biofeedback group will undergo 20 minutes of physiological monitoring while also participating in biofeedback training twice a week for 4 weeks (8 sessions) from home. Those assigned to the control group will undergo 20 minutes of physiological monitoring twice a week for 4 weeks (8 sessions) from home, but will not receive biofeedback training. Each session is expected to last 30 minutes to allow for completion of questionnaires over the the phone prior to and following each training session. It is hypothesized that the biofeedback intervention will demonstrate high feasibility and compared to those in the control group, participants who receive the biofeedback intervention will attain greater pre-post reductions in both physiological and self-reported stress.
Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is classified as a phobic (anxious) disorder in which the patient experiences anxiety in social interactions, during which he or she might be judged or socially evaluated by others. SAD has an estimated lifetime prevalence of 3-13%, but remains under-treated. The recommended psychological treatment for SAD is is the exposure technique imbedded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Traditionally exposure has taken place either in vivo or through imaginary exposure. In vivo has shown to be most effective, but it is costly and time-consuming and situational elements, such as the reaction of others, are difficult to control. Recently, researchers and clinicians have started to use Virtual Reality (VR) to overcome such difficulties. Compared to traditional methods VR-based Exposure has several advantages mainly based on increased control. Meta-analyzes have found superior effect of CBT with VR-based Exposure compared to imaginary exposure, and similar effects when compared to in vivo exposure, with a recent study finding superior effect of VR-based Exposure compared to in vivo. The current evidence thus supports the clinical efficacy of CBT with VR-based Exposure. However, the meta-analyzes include a total of only six randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and only four of these compare CBT with VR-based Exposure to both an in vivo and a control group. The aims of the current study are to develop a complete program of CBT with VR exposure based on 360° videos for adults suffering from SAD, and to evaluate the treatment effect on SAD symptoms. The study is designed as a three arm RCT comparing 1) a group receiving CBT with VR-based Exposure, 2) a group receiving CBT with in vivo exposure and 3) a group receiving VR relaxation. CBT with VR-based Exposure, will include 360° videos with three different scenarios In Vivo Exposure Therapy consists of role-playing and guided exposure either inside or outside the therapist's office. VR Relaxation Therapy consists of a VR scenario of swimming with dolphins. Treatment will last 10 weeks and there will be a 6 months follow-up. . It is hypothesized that - CBT with VR-based Exposure will reduce symptoms of SAD - CBT with VR-based Exposure will be more effective than both CBT with in vivo exposure and VR relaxation therapy at the end of treatment - An effect on symptom reduction will sustain at the 6 months follow-up
The main objective of this study is to measure perioperative anxiety in children from 2 to 10 years old in two distinct homogeneous groups before and after the ride in electric cars versus bed travel in the operating room. The secondary objectives will be to measure the anxiety at the induction, the pain and the agitation of the children in SSPI as well as the satisfaction and the lived experience of the parents during the ambulatory stay of their child in the two groups journey in electric cars versus trip in bed. It is a prospective, randomized, single-centric observational study (small electric cars versus bed-ridden), focusing on children during their stay in the operating theater at the CHU Nord of Marseille for ENT and ophthalmic surgery. This study on the use of electric cars as a means of locomotion within the block may lead to other multicenter studies.
Poverty is a common experience for many children and families in developing countries. Living in a poor or low-income household has been linked to poor health and increased risk for mental health problems than the general population. Previous studies link psychological well-being with yoga in adolescents and children. This study investigated the effects of a structured yoga program on psychological well-being in low-income school children.
Spinal anaesthesia results in blockade of sympathetic efferent neurones. Patients with higher baseline sympathetic activation have been shown to have more marked hypotension after spinal anaesthesia. Anxiety causes generalized sympathetic activation. It was aimed to find the effect of preoperative anxiety on the duration and efficacy of neuraxial anaesthesia.
This study is a randomised control trial which aims to assess whether the use of an immersive virtual reality angiogram experience decreases peri-procedural anxiety in patients undergoing cardiac catheterisation.
