Filter by:Despite the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder and anxiety disorders among Veterans, there has been limited focus on the development of interventions that include family members in treatments provided to Veterans. This is a feasibility study that examines a novel adjunct intervention (Adjunctive Family-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; AF-CBT) developed for family members of Veterans undergoing behavioral treatment for anxiety-based disorders. Phase one involves piloting AF-CBT with family members and conducting qualitative interviews to obtain feedback about the utility and acceptability of the intervention. The refined protocol will be used in phase two, which involves an open trial where Veterans and family members will complete the intervention and attend a 1-month follow up assessment, including a qualitative interview.
One of the most common discomforts in early pregnancy is nausea and vomiting. Although its etiology is not known exactly, it affects an average of 50-90% of pregnant women. The severity of nausea-vomiting can vary from person to person, as well as in different pregnancies of the woman. The severity of nausea-vomiting is affected by hormonal, psychological and social factors. Adaptation to pregnancy, spouse relations, future anxiety and social support perception in nausea and vomiting experienced during early pregnancy affect women negatively and cause anxiety. The severity of nausea and vomiting also increases due to anxiety. As the severity of nausea-vomiting increases, the search for solutions to this situation and their applications to health institutions increase. Many non-pharmacological methods (respiratory exercises, acupuncture, acupressure, etc.) are used in treatment, as well as hydration, rest and pharmacological agents. One of these methods is the emotional liberation technique, which is included in cognitive behavioral therapies. This method basically treats the person physiologically and psychologically as a whole, similar to other cognitive behavioral therapies, unless there is a physiological disorder. It is aimed to reach a solution by raising awareness for the emotion felt, avoiding negative emotions and focusing on affirmations to replace them. Emotional liberation technique is an easy-to-apply and fast-solving technique in cases recorded in the subconscious with negative emotions and in the treatment of stress disorders in general. No use of emotional liberation technique has been found in the literature for the severity of nausea-vomiting and anxiety experienced during early pregnancy. Therefore, it is thought that this study will contribute to the literature. In addition, it is thought that this method will enrich midwifery interventions as a non-pharmacological method applied to pregnant women in the treatment of nausea-vomiting and anxiety, because this method is fast and practical, and the result is easy to reach. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of emotional liberation technique applied during early pregnancy on nausea and vomiting severity and anxiety.
The study aims to examine inter-brain synchrony between patients and therapists over the course of psychotherapy. Eight patients underwent a 6-session course of psychotherapy for test anxiety including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and imagery work, following an existing protocol (see Prinz et al., 2019), as well as a pre- and post- treatment interview (with different interviewers). The researchers used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) imaging to record brain activity during both interviews and sessions 1, 3, and 5, and collected saliva samples to measure hormone levels during the same sessions. Participants completed questionnaires before and after the study, and before and after each session. The researchers hypothesized that synchrony will gradually increase over the psychotherapy sessions, that synchrony in the pre-treatment interview will be lower than in the post-treatment interview, and that synchrony would be correlated with increases in Oxytocin.
The study will be done in Sohag University to assess the prevalence and associated factors of Social Anxiety Disorder among undergraduate medical students .
The Nu-V3 Clinical Study is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, multi-center study using the Nu-V3 cranial nerve stimulation treatment device in patients with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and/or sleeplessness. For this Phase II study, a total of 100-200 patients at multiple centers will be registered for study participation. Study participants are those who have signed the informed consent form, met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and are enrolled in the study at one of multiple sites. Enrolled participants are stratified based on their chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and/or sleeplessness symptom presentation at baseline and treated with the Nu-V3 device for 24 weeks. Interim analysis of reported data will be based on baseline stratifications and conducted at 6, 12, 18, and 24 weeks during this time. The participant will be evaluated after the initial 12-week treatment period to assess for further therapeutic need. Upon having three consecutive weeks of mean symptom reduction of ≥70% via patient reported numerical scales, the participant will continue as described in the study assessments table, but without device therapy. Then if the participant's primary symptom score increases at any time by ≥20%, they may again continue device therapy until week 24.
Spinal anesthesia has been accepted as the first choice for elective cesarean section due to its easy application technique and elimination of the risks of difficult intubation and aspiration. Neuraxial anesthesia is considered superior to general anesthesia in terms of fetal well-being. The state of having an operation and not being aware of the operation by the patient can cause serious anxiety and fear in the patient. Fear of surgical failure, not fully understanding the anesthesia method, possible risks of anesthesia and expected pain during the postoperative recovery period contribute to the patient's anxiety. Considering the patients undergoing elective surgery under spinal anesthesia, there is a moderate level of anxiety associated with advanced age and female gender. Reducing the stress and anxiety in the patient during elective surgery will reduce the neurohormonal response to surgery and reduce complications. Early skin-to-skin contact with the mother provides many benefits to the newborn, but maternal sedation in the operating room during cesarean delivery should also be within safe limits to avoid early skin-to-skin contact. Aromatherapy relies on the use of essential oils to contribute to physical and psychological well-being. The oils can be massaged into the skin, or inhaled using a steam infusion or burner. Birth pain is a severe pain, and the feeling of pain may increase with tension, fear and anxiety during delivery. Apart from medical methods, many complementary treatments such as acupuncture, reflexology, homeopathy, hypnotherapy, music and aromatherapy are tried to reduce pain and anxiety. Lavender aromatherapy has been shown to significantly reduce anxiety or pain in various surgical procedures. There is a growing literature on the use of lavender aromatherapy as an anxiolytic agent. Based on these findings, the study aimed to contribute to early mother-to-baby contact and breast milk intake by reducing perioperative maternal anxiety and therefore the use of sedative drugs during cesarean section performed under spinal anesthesia with the intraoperative use of lavender aromatherapy. This is the first study to evaluate the effect of aromatherapy on anxiety in cases of cesarean section under anesthesia.
The purpose of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of a digital cognitive behavioural therapy for patients with pulmonary fibrosis on anxiety. The study is decentralized and participation is not limited to patients living close to the sites.
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of visual video with korotkoff sounds on nursing students' blood presssure measurement skills and anxiety levels. Methods: This was a randomized controlled experimental study conducted at the nursing department of the faculty of health sciences of a university. Intervention participants were shown and listened visual video with korotkoff sounds before blood presssure measurement. Aural and visual video containing Korotkoff sounds were shown to the students before the practice.
This randomized controlled study evaluates the effect of acupressure application on the anxiety level patients undergoing cystectomy surgery. The hypothesis of this study is that acupressure reduces anxiety levels and stabilizes hemodynamic parameters.
The study was conducted randomly controlled experimental to determine the effect of hand massage applied to pre-operative children on anxiety level and physical symptoms of anxiety.
