In hospitals, venous blood sampling as the first step in diagnosis and planning of medical treatment is among the most basic and common procedures all over the world. Before the diagnosis and treatment of acute or chronic health problems, venous blood is requested from the doctors and the blood sample is collected by the nurses. Patients experience anxiety for reasons such as the fear of experiencing pain during the blood donation process, fear of seeing blood, and fear that blood-borne diseases will pass. Studies in the literature have generally evaluated the effects on pain and fear by using virtual reality with different techniques in pediatric patients during blood collection, and the relevant research has been reached in adult patients. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of virtual reality on pain and anxiety during blood collection of patients who applied to the blood collection unit of a university hospital.
Except for exaggerated situations in which aspiration risk seems obvious (or absent), the choice of a rapid sequence induction protocol for general anesthesia is often made under uncertainty, according to the individual assessment of the balance between the aspiration risk on one hand and the anaphylaxis risk induced by short-acting curares on the other hand. The impact of anxiety and impulsivity on the choice of induction protocols under uncertainty has never been studied before. In order to investigate this issue, an online anonymous survey has been designed and will be sent to the anesthesiologists of the Bourgogne Franche-Comté and Grand Est regions in France. The primary objective of this study is to assess the impact of trait-anxiety using the STAI-Y2 form on the decision-making process of anesthesiologists during the choice of an induction protocol for patients at risk of aspiration. The secondary objectives are to characterize decision-making profiles, to measure the implicit dimension of anxiety using an Implicit association test, to study the impact of impulsivity on decision-making processes under uncertainty using the short version of UPPS-P scale and to study the role of socio-demographic data and professional history in these decisions.
The purpose of this study is to use an experimental inflammatory challenge to examine whether older adults with symptoms of anxiety experience loss of pleasure or loss of motivation when they are exposed to inflammation. Loss of pleasure or loss of motivation will be evaluated using self-report questionnaires, computer tasks, and during a brain scan.
Aim: In this study, the effect of Emotional Freedom Technique applied to patients before Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy on surgical fear and anxiety was investigated. Design: This is a randomized controlled study. Method: A total of 112 patients who were going to have Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy were randomly divided into two groups each including 56 participants. The intervention group was provided with Emotional Freedom Technique. The control group received routine face-to-face education. Surgical fear and anxiety were examined.
Rates of anxiety and depression in youth are substantial, causing a major unmet need for effective interventions. Participation in mindfulness interventions has been demonstrated to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms among teenagers. Parents' participation in mindfulness interventions has also been shown to reduce their children's mental health symptoms. However, there is no available evidence regarding potential additional benefits for adolescents' mental health of having both the adolescent and their parent or caregiver learn and practice mindfulness simultaneously. This pilot intervention study aims to explore potential additive effects of parent/caregiver participation in a digitally-based, kindness-focused, coached mindfulness intervention program for adolescents that lasts 9 weeks. Participating parent/caregiver-child pairs (n = 30) will include one teenager between 12 and 17 years old with a current diagnosis of an anxiety or depressive disorder and one parent/caregiver. All adolescent participants will take part in the mindfulness intervention. Half of the parents/caregivers will be randomized to also take part in the mindfulness program. Outcomes will be compared between families in which only the teen participates in the mindfulness program and families in which the teen and parent/caregiver participate in the intervention. Adolescents and parents/caregivers will take part in evaluations before, in the middle of, and after the end of the mindfulness program, meaning that participation in the study will take a total of approximately 12 weeks. Pre, mid, and post evaluations will include online questionnaires. Pre and post evaluations will also include clinical interviews via phone or video conference. Evaluations will include measures of mental health diagnoses and symptoms, mood, interpersonal and family functioning, mindfulness, and perceptions of/satisfaction with the program. Participating adolescents and parents/caregivers will also fill out weekly brief questionnaires of anxiety and depressive symptoms. The primary outcome of interest is adolescent mental health, including anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Virtual reality application, which is a non-pharmacological method, is used for different purposes in many different fields. One of the areas where virtual reality application is used is health services. Its use in the field of obstetrics is new. Virtual reality application is often in pregnancy; it is used to reduce pain, stress and anxiety levels, exercise training and train pregnant women to effectively manage their pain during childbirth. Although pregnancy is a normal physiological process, adverse situations may occur that can make every pregnancy risky. Threatened premature birth, which is called the onset of uterine contractions without cervical changes between the 20th and 37th weeks of pregnancy, is also among these risk groups. Pregnant women diagnosed with the threat of premature birth are usually treated by hospitalization. Psychological problems such as stress, fear and anxiety may develop in pregnant women who are on bed rest in the hospital. In these pregnant women, mother-infant attachment may also be adversely affected. Pregnant women who are hospitalized and taken to bed rest due to risky pregnancy need to be informed and supported by health personnel. The midwife's spending enough time with the pregnant woman, keeping in touch and meeting her needs increase satisfaction in terms of care. When the literature was examined, it was determined that pregnant women were satisfied with the virtual reality application and thus increased care satisfaction.
This research is a randomized controlled study to evaluate the effect of Laughter yoga on the anxiety and stress levels of postpartum women. Randomization was provided in the sample included in the study, and it was divided into experimental and control groups. At the beginning of the study, the Postpartum anxiety scale and the perceived stress scale were applied to women in both groups to determine their anxiety and stress levels. Afterwards, 8 sessions of laughter yoga were applied to the experimental group for 4 weeks. No application was made to the control group. After 4 weeks, the Postpartum anxiety scale and the perceived stress scale were administered to the women in both groups to re-determine their anxiety and stress levels.
The present study will investigate if ketamine-assisted psychotherapy during palliative radiation therapy is safe, feasible, and effective at reducing psychological distress.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a transdiagnostic, parent-led, Internet-delivered intervention in reducing child and adolescent internalizing problems.
