Filter by:Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of reflexology hand massage group and placebo group on pain and anxiety in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Method: Individuals who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery in accordance with the sampling inclusion criteria will be allocated to the reflexology and placebo groups by block randomization using the randomization method. After the groups are determined, the patients in the reflexology hand massage group and placebo group will be asked to fill in the Socio-Demographic Information Form, the State Anxiety Scale and the Visual Analog Scale will be taken. In addition to the standard nursing care of the hospital, individuals in the reflexology group and placebo group will be massaged for 10 minutes, a total of 20 minutes, after the extubation procedure. Individuals in the reflexology group and placebo group will be followed up before the massage (0. minute) and after the massage at the 5th, 30th and 60th minutes, and the data will be recorded.
Purpose of the Research: The primary aim of the proposed study is to conduct a randomized parallel-group 3-arm clinical trial comparing two mechanistically distinct interventions for pathological anxiety - (1) Interoceptive Exposure (IE) utilizing graduated exposure to somatic cues (respiratory, cardiac, vestibular) with the primary aim of reducing fear responding to the presence of interoceptive perturbations; (2) Capnometry-Guided Respiratory Intervention (CGRI) aimed at raising end-tidal CO2 levels thereby lowering hyperventilation-induced respiratory alkalosis and its associated fear-eliciting somatic reactions; and (3) Psycho-education about anxiety and its effects (PsyEd), which will serve as a credible control comparator.
When we look at the literature, studies examining the effect of having patients watch comedy films on anxiety and pain are limited. However, it was observed that the anxiety and pain levels of oncology patients who underwent surgery decreased by watching comedy movies. Therefore, in order to use the healing effects of humor, our study was planned to determine the effect of watching comedy films on the level of anxiety and postoperative pain in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
Accumulating evidence has revealed the effects of anterior implant procedures on dental anxiety (DA), aesthetic perception and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). However, few reported the changes and influencing factors of the above outcomes before and after anterior implant treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes of DA, aesthetic perception and OHRQoL related to influencing factors of patients' demographics after anterior implant treatment.
Fetal death accounts for approximately half of perinatal death. Fetal health should be evaluated in order to identify fetuses at risk of intrauterine death and to prevent perinatal morbidity and mortality. The Nonstress test, which is used to evaluate fetal health, is an important issue as it provides health professionals with information about fetal health. The research was planned as a randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of acupressure and halogen light stimulation on nonstress testing and anxiety of the pregnant woman. The research is planned to be conducted in the nonstress test room of the Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient clinic of Samsun Training and Research Hospital Gynecology and Childhood Diseases Hospital between May 2021 and June 2023. The sample size of the study was calculated by power analysis (G*Power 3.1.9.2 program was used) and a total of 120 pregnant women were found. In order to increase the analysis power of the research, the number of samples was increased by 20% and it was decided to have at least 144 pregnant women (acupressure group: 48; halogen light group: 48 and control group: 48) for the study. The data of the study will be collected with the Pregnant Identification Form, the Nonstress Test Follow-up Form and the State Anxiety Scale. The data of the study will be evaluated using the SPSS 24 deviation, median and minimum-maximum values will be given. Chi-square test, Student t test, ANOVA test for those with normal distribution, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests for those who are not.
This project aims to answer to the question of EMDR effectiveness in young children and to determine whether or not the therapy effectiveness is related to the level of cognitive functioning in young children. The study requires a total of 60 children, girls and boys, aged 3 to 6 years and presenting disorders related to stressors, anxiety and/or trauma. Participants will be randomly distributed in two groups: "EMDR therapy" (N=30) group or "routine care" (N=30) group. The study will take place in four stages: 1/ Pre-treatment phase : An evaluation of child's various cognitive and executive functions, child's symptomatology and parental distress is planned in a pre-treatment phase. 2/ Treatment phase : An EMDR therapy or a routine care is administered to the child between 6 to 10 weeks. 3/ Post-treatment phase : A reassessment of child's and parent's symptoms is planned at the end of treatment. 4/ Continuation of treatment: Children who have received routine treatment and without symptomatic improvement will be proposed EMDR treatment. These children will receive the same symptomatic assessments at the end of EMDR treatment. A significant reduction in disorders related to trauma or stress and anxiety factors and their symptomatology, as well as comorbid disorders and their symptomatology, is expected in children who received EMDR therapy compared to the group who received a routine care. These results are expected to be robust over a period of at least 3 months. The positive effects of EMDR on child symptomatology are also expected to be more pronounced in children showing higher levels of cognitive functioning
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is one of the most common surgical treatments for coronary artery disease. CABG has many beneficial outcomes for patients. However, there are diverse factors that hinder these positive outcomes. Depression, anxiety, and stress (DAS) are considered as important factors that hinder these outcomes. Depression is very common post CABG. Despite that high levels of depression, more than half of patients undergoing CBAG are not screened or treated well for depression. Depression has negative outcomes for patients undergoing CABG. Similarly, patients undergoing CABG complain from high levels of anxiety and stress in the pre and even in the post-operative period.Anxiety and stress might be manifested as impaired functional status, chest pain, and shortness of breath.· Furthermore, increased anxiety and stress is correlated with poorer quality of life and worse long-term psychological outcomes.It has been shown that the speed of recovery from acute cardiac events depends more on psychological factors rather than physiological ones. Therefore, it is imperative to have an appropriate management for these negative emotions to improve the outcomes of this major operation. Treatment options for these emotions include pharmacological and non-pharmacological. Listening to the holy Quran recital is one of the non-pharmacological treatment methods that were integrated to improve Coronary Heart Diseases Patient's DAS symptoms. Previous studies showed that listening to the holy Quran recital was effective in reducing ADS symptoms among this population and other populations including hemodialysis, pregnant women, and smokers. However, this effect has not been checked for patients undergoing CABG. Therefore, the purpose of this randomized control trial (RCT) is to check the effect of Holy Quran recital on ADS among patients undergoing CABG surgery
This project focuses on adapting and pilot testing an efficacious brief behavioral therapy (STEP-UP) for youths with anxiety or depression to be delivered as a telehealth intervention by clinic staff in low-resource community health centers (CHCs).
Nowadays, hundreds of information about regional anesthesia are accessed from any internet search engine when a question is written about the methods of anesthesia that can be applied during C/S. This information may have positive or negative effects on the patient, as well as include uncontrolled, unsupervised comments, articles and images. Our aim is primarily to evaluate whether our patients are exchanging information via social media or the internet and the effects of these shares on their concerns.
This pilot study trial will test the acceptability, feasibility, and usability of a brief enhanced anxiety sensitivity treatment to reduce anxiety sensitivity and functional impairment in Veterans.
