Filter by:Background and study aims: Mindfulness is a mental state that can be achieved through meditation. So far, studies have shown that practicing mindfulness on a consistent and regular basis can improve attentional functions and emotional well-being. Mindfulness has recently begun to be used in the field of child development. The aim of this study is to assess if a mindfulness program may help primary school students in reducing anxiety and depression while also improving their temperament. Who can participate? Students attending the fourth or fifth year of primary school What does the study involve? Participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Participants in the experimental group will undergo an 8-week mindfulness training program with weekly 60-minute group sessions, while the control group will follow routine daily school activities. Questionnaires will be used to assess temperament, anxiety and depression before and after the intervention. What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? Benefits of participating in the study may include a lowering of anxiety and depression levels, as well as an improvement of temperament.
Cardiac surgery is not trivial. It requires opening the thorax in certain indications: coronary artery bypass grafting, valve replacements or plasties, aortic dissection, etc. These different procedures, both pre- and post-op, generate anxiety in the patient, the effects of which can be harmful to the recovery process and general well-being. It can be increased by the resuscitation environment during the immediate postoperative management. This environment also favors the development of delirium. It is possible to improve this environment by using non-drug and inexpensive techniques. Indeed, making the stay in the ICU better while respecting the safety of the patient and the efficiency of the care, could reduce anxiety as well as the appearance of delirium. Studies have been carried out on the effectiveness of music in health care with a positive impact on anxiety and pain. The proposed study aims to evaluate the implementation of relaxation moments adapted to the resuscitation sector from the day after surgery. They target the senses available and accessible at that moment, such as hearing (relaxing music chosen by the patient will be played) and sight (a multi-effect light projector and a bubble column will be deployed). Environmental stressors will be minimized, while maintaining an optimal level of safety. The primary objective is to compare anxiety before and after the first session in cardiac surgery patients in the cardiothoracic and vascular surgery (CCTV) resuscitation unit between the group with the usual rest session and the group with the rest session combining soft music and light. The secondary objectives are based on an evaluation of anxiety over different time periods, patient comfort, occurrence of postoperative delirium, patient pain, average length of stay (LOS). This is a pilot, comparative, monocentric, randomized, interventional research with minimal risks and constraints in 2 parallel groups. 110 patients will be included over a period of 12 months In the experimental group, once a day, a relaxation session with the association of soft music and light will be proposed by adapting the environment of the patient's resuscitation room. The control group will have the usual rest session.
Anxiety disorders are prominent mental health burdens, affecting roughly 1 in 5 adults annually, and a third of individuals over the course of their life. These disorders are also impairing to individuals, with 23% of individuals with anxiety disorders describing their impairment as serious. Given the public health impact, it is crucial that interventions are designed to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, through reducing risk factors that predispose individuals to develop anxiety. One approach to do this is to develop brief interventions that could be administered virtually, which can then be supplemented using ecological momentary intervention (EMI) to reduce risk factors for anxiety disorders. In contrast to targeting more distant risk factors, targeting more direct risk factors, such as intolerance of uncertainty, could be used in the prevention and treatment of anxiety disorders.
Recent research has underlined that mental health of people with depression and anxiety has deteriorated over the last decades in Denmark as well as internationally, and has reached a degree where it is perceived as a global health challenge. By now, depression is the most common reason for early retirement on health grounds in Denmark. Early intervention in relation to patients with depression and anxiety is essential, as research further shows that many young people with mental health difficulties drop out of education and work. The overall purpose is to develop a shared care intervention in co-production with users, and to increase their recovery by strengthening the support and treatment using a newly developed shared care model. The study is designed as a non-randomized intervention study with a control group. Comparative analyzes will be performed with pre- and post-assessments. Patients will be recruited between August 2022 and February 2023. The patients are referred to outpatient clinics based on their home address. The two outpatient clinics should be comparable in terms of patients' diagnoses and staffing. ward. Mental health status and well-being are the primary outcomes. Self-reported questionnaires will be administered to both groups before and after the intervention. The study will be approved by the Research Ethical Committee of University of Southern Denmark and Region Zealand. The study findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national and international conferences.
Capture of anxiety for anomalies, stillbirth and preterm labor of pregnant women during COVID-19 pandemia
Anxiety is a growing problem and has been steadily increasing, particularly in the adolescent and young adult populations in the past 24 years. Music and auditory beat stimulation (ABS) in the theta frequency range (4-7 Hz) are sound-based anxiety treatments that have been independently investigated in prior studies. Here, the anxiety-reducing potential of calm music combined with theta ABS was examined in a large sample of participants. Participants taking anxiolytics (n = 163) were randomly assigned to a single 24-minute session of sound-based treatment: combined (music & ABS), music-alone, ABS-alone, or pink noise (control). Pre- and post-intervention somatic and cognitive state anxiety measures (STICSA State) were collected along with trait anxiety (STICSA Trait), personality measures (Short Form Eysenck Personality Inventory) and musical preferences (Short Test of Music Preferences).
It was aimed to determine the effect of virtual reality glasses application on anxiety and fatigue in women with breast cancer receiving adjuvant chemotherapy.
The current study aims to explore the efficacy of a text message based Safety Behavior Fading Intervention compared to an active control intervention.
The vicious circle of dental anxiety impacts major aspects of a child's quality of life. Hypnosis using distraction is one of the most common non-pharmalogical techniques in behavior and pain management in pediatric dentistry. Its value over traditional pharmalogical sedation is undeniable. This clinical study examines the application of hypnosis delivered through immersive virtual reality (VR) for anxious children ongoing dental procedures. The investigators will explore whether VR is as effective on pain and anxiety relief as a pharmacological sedation with inhalation of nitrous oxide.
This work; The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the education program, which was created with the creative drama method based on Travelbee's "human-to-human relationship" theory, on the teaching and practice of mental health and psychiatric nursing course, on reducing the anxiety of students and improving their empathy and communication skills.
