Filter by:Dental pain and anxiety are usually managed by local anesthetics and sedatives, but patient anxiety and fear of pain remain common and adversely affect oral health behavior and outcomes. The long-term goal is to provide a validated behavioral alternative/adjunct for managing dental anxiety and pain through a commercial Comfort Talk® (Cft) app. Such an application should benefit the patients undergoing the >300 million dental procedures per year in the US alone. In Phase I (Clinical Trials Identifier NCT03328208), the investigators designed such an app based on short Comfort Talk® scripts and snippets that, when spoken live by trained personnel in our prior large-scale clinical trials, reduced pain, anxiety, and drug use during invasive procedures, and when used practice-wide, improved patient attendance, throughput, and economics. In Phase I, the Cft app significantly reduced pain and anxiety in the dental waiting room. In Phase II, the investigators propose to further assess its impact. We hypothesize that: - The Cft app reduces pain and anxiety in the waiting room - The Cft app improves the patient experience and cooperation during dental treatment - The Cft app improves operations and economics of dental practices - Heart rate tracings are helpful in identifying outcome-critical app elements 150 patients scheduled for root canals or dental implants will receive in randomized sequence the Cft app or a placebo white noise app in the dentistry waiting room of Cambridge Health Alliance. Anxiety and pain will be measured subjectively on validated scales (0-no anxiety/no pain at all; 10-worst anxiety/pain possible) before listening and throughout the visit. Heart rate (HR) and ECG will be continuously recorded to assess adverse events and, in the absence of a validated biomarker for pain and anxiety, serve as an exploratory physiologic indicator of distress. Usage patterns of the Cft and the placebo apps will be established electronically through time-stamped background capture, de-identified, and uploaded to a database along with the corresponding HR recordings and overlayed with the patient's subjective ratings and procedure steps to identify outcome-critical elements of the app. We will record chair-time, staff-time, use of anesthetics and sedatives, if applicable, and patient and staff satisfaction, supplemented by bulk data acquired from other practices that use a co-branded version of the app, to determine the economic impact of the Cft app.
Simulation education has become one of the innovative educational approaches that are widely used in providing nursing students with knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards vocational courses. Simulation education provides students with the opportunity to combine their knowledge and skills and provide nursing care in a high-reality environment. However, the fact that simulation training is a method that requires the student to recognize a clinical event, make a clinical decision, and intervene with the patient in line with this decision may cause students to experience anxiety and affect their learning. Although there are limited studies conducted on nursing students, it is stated that new approaches such as laughter yoga are effective in reducing anxiety and stress levels. In this direction, this research; In this study, it was planned to investigate the effectiveness of laughter yoga in terms of reducing the anxiety experienced by nursing students during simulation training and increasing their learning satisfaction. The universe of the research will be the second-year students of Hacettepe University Faculty of Nursing. As a result of the power analysis, it is aimed to reach 54 people. The study was planned in a randomized controlled design. Research data will be collected through Personal Information Form, State Anxiety Scale, Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale, Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students, and Students' Vital Findings Evaluation Form. With this study, it is predicted that laughter yoga to be applied to nursing students before simulation training will have a positive effect on state anxiety, student satisfaction, and perceived stress level.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of an acute dose of BNC210 compared to placebo on reducing anxiety provoked by a speaking challenge and measured using the Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) in patients with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD).
Psychological support may be needed to help patients in the face of emotional disturbances that may be associated with the outbreak and to help them accomplish their fear and anxiety. Due to the increasing fear of COVID-19 transmission during the pandemic, patients may develop treatment avoidance behavior in dental practices. If the fear and anxiety levels of the patients can be determined, it may be easy to offer special approaches to them.
This is an open-label observational single-arm clinical trial to study the efficacy of a commercial dietary supplement and its effect on sleep quality, sleep duration, anxiety, mood, and stress.
Background: Social isolation secondary to the pandemic can predispose the population to mental health issues in the future, especially teenagers. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS) is a valuable self-report scale since it may be used to screen for anxiety, depression, and stress in one questionnaire. In the last years, it has been observed effective in detecting these symptoms in teenagers. Aims: Identify the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress in high school students during the COVID-19 pandemic This is an observational cross-sectional study. For this study, the validated Spanish version of DASS-21 will be used. Qualitative variables will be evaluated through central tendencies, such as mean, standard deviation, and frequencies. The inferential analysis of categorical variables will be performed using the chi-squared test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), or Kruskal Wallis test as appropriate. For quantitative variables, Student's t-test or Mann Whitney U test will be performed depending on their distribution.
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the video-assisted operating room promotion program developed for parents on the anxiety level of parents and children. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: The participants (N = 80) will be randomly assigned (1:1) to the intervention and control groups using block randomization. In addition to standard care, a video-assisted operating room promotion program, created by fully addressing the perioperative process, will be applied to the participants assigned to the intervention group. Participants in the control group will only receive standard care. Standard care includes verbal information about the surgical process. The sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, along with the anxiety levels of the children and their parents were measured one day before the operation, and the anxiety levels were again measured on the postoperative first and second day. Discussion: In the literature, it is seen that pediatric surgery personnel can have a beneficial effect in reducing the anxiety of children and their parents. Among these methods, the effectiveness of distraction methods on children's anxiety has also been proven. As for parental anxiety, which can be as important as child anxiety, not enough studies have been done so far, and the existing studies have not been able to come to a decisive conclusion. If parental intervention is found to have positive effects on the child's anxiety in this study are positive, it will contribute to clinical practice and improve clinical outcomes. In this respect, it will fill this gap in the literature. Impact: This research will add to the evidence for the effectiveness of an intervention that provides parents with visual and auditory information about the process prior to child surgery. It will benefit parents who want to support their children in managing this process. It will also support nurses working in pediatric surgery clinics. Trial registration: It was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov in December 2021 (…………).
Experimental open-label randomized clinical trial to determine the effect of virtual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) on the quality of life of patients with HIV, COVID-19 and anxiety or depression. It will be carried out at the hospital for 6 months, where people over 18 years of age with HIV from the infectious disease service will participate. In the study, patients will be randomized 1:1 in an intervention group, who will receive eight sessions of virtual CBT by 02 psychotherapists, and a control group. Additionally, patients will be consulted about the participation of at least one adult family member or caregiver in the study, if the patient and the family member agree, the family member or caregiver will enter the study. The informed consent process will be conducted by telephone, during the call the recruiting staff will read the consent document and the participant (patient and family member or caregiver) will give their consent by answering affirmatively to the questions asked at the end of the document. The main objective will be evaluated by comparing the quality of life measurement at three months with the baseline measurement, as well as the variation of anxiety and depression scores.
The aim of the study was to asses levels and relationship of chronic pain, anxiety, depression and perceived stress in TMD patients .
The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental research with the purpose of determining the effect of distraction by using external cold and vibration-Buzzy and VR on reducing procedural pain and anxiety in children aged 7 to 12 years during phlebotomy injection.
