Filter by:This study adapts and assesses the effect of a multicomponent physical activity intervention in reducing psychosocial distress in cancer patients. This study aims to develop a program to help increase physical activity and reduce stress in cancer survivors who live in rural areas.
This research was conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based mandala activity on the spiritual well-being and anxiety levels of senior nursing students in a parallel-group pretest-posttest randomized controlled study design. The required institutional permission and ethics committee approval was received. The study group of the study consisted of 170 senior nursing students (intervention group [n=84], control group [n=86]). Mindfulness-based mandala activity was applied to the intervention group via the zoom online program. Data were collected using the descriptive features form, the Spielberg Trait, and State Anxiety Inventory, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, and the scale of the positive-negative experience. The data were stored in the SPSS 24 program.
Approximately 100 patients undergoing oral surgery will be divided in 3 groups of musical audition to control anxiety: baroque (N=35), classicism (N=35) and control group (N=30). Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure, Heart Rate and Oxygen Saturation will be recorded.
The purpose of this study is to compare a smartphone-based virtual reality exposure with standard relaxation training for anxiety and associated symptoms (including pain) on an inpatient psychiatric unit, and whether patients find it usable and beneficial.
Prevalence of mental health problems and disorders in children and adolescents (hereafter youths) are estimated at 13.4% of which anxiety and depressive disorders account for more than half of these disorders. These rates are increasing, putting a large strain on child and adolescent mental healthcare services (CAMHS) to provide cost-effective treatments with documented long-term effects. However, even when provided the best evidence based treatment, between 40-50 % do not recover and continue to report significant symptom burdens. Thus, there is an immediate need for supplementary and/or new treatment approaches. Physical activity as a supplementary treatment may be one such approach. However, research investigating this approach within this population is scant. This protocol paper describes the development and feasibility trial of a physical activity based intervention targeting anxiety and depressive symptoms in youth. The current study will be based on the UK Medical Council Research Framework (MRC) for developing and evaluating complex interventions. The study will initially focus on the first two phases of the MRC framework. In line with phase one of this framework, key intervention components have been identified in preliminary work, which draw on the effects of moderate to vigorous physical activity, inhibitory learning theory and self determination theory. These components are to be developed into an intervention to be used in CAMHS. Twenty youths with anxiety and/or depressive symptoms will be recruited to the intervention. Physical activity will be measured using the Actigraph GT3X+ monitor at baseline and post-intervention. Outcome measures concerning symptom change will be assessed (anxiety and depression). Semi-structured qualitative interview with participants, caregivers and referring specialists will help identify possible contextual and practical factors associated with delivery of the intervention and explore acceptability of assessment procedures, the intervention, and perceived benefits and barriers to participation. This study will contribute to the development of evidence-based, patient-informed supplementary physical treatment interventions for youth with internalizing disorders in contact with CAMHS. The goal is to examine new avenues of treatment that ultimately may improve upon current treatment outcomes of these disorders.
Proof of effectiveness of Pascoflair using qantitative measurement of electric brain activity during examination stress in 40 subjects suffering from test anxiety. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 2-armed, Phase IV study in parallel design.
The majority of opioid users meet criteria for anxiety and depressive disorders, but most substance use disorder treatment programs do not offer treatment for co-occurring mental health problems. Anxiety and depression may also be directly linked to opioid use itself. Although treatments have been developed for anxiety and depressive symptoms for opioid users within face-to-face settings, few treatment facilities offer these in-person interventions due to their high cost and time burden. Given the deficits in research on treatments for anxiety and depression among those with opioid use disorder, the current research will examine the efficacy of a digital intervention designed to treat anxiety and depressive symptoms by augmenting the state of the science medication-based opioid use disorder treatment. Over the course of the proposed study, the research team will design and test the feasibility and acceptability of a standalone mobile intervention designed to treat persons receiving medication treatment for opioid use disorder. Participants receiving medication treatment for opioid use disorder will be randomized to receive a digital intervention to treat anxiety and depression or care as usual for a total of four weeks. The overarching goal of the proposed work is to test the feasibility and acceptability of the proposed mobile intervention. The Investigators will also explore the preliminary efficacy by examining reductions in anxiety and depressive symptoms and opioid cravings and use. This work could lead to a low-cost scalable solution to augment gold-standard treatment as usual in opioid use disorder by decreasing levels of comorbidity of anxiety and depressive disorders, thereby ultimately improving the outcomes of opioid use disorder itself.
Pain of the sacrococcygeal region is called coccygodynia This painful clinical picture, which causes a decrease in the quality of life, also causes disability. Coccycodynia has been associated with hysteria, neurosis, and depression. In some studies, it has been reported that it should be evaluated in somatization in coccygodynia. There are a few studies examining the relationship between coccygodynia and psychiatric disorders.There is no study in the literature examining coccygodynia and sleep. There may be a relationship between pelvic floor muscle spasm in the etiology of coccygodynia and sleep quality. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the relationship between disability severity and anxiety, depression and sleep quality in patients with coccygodynia.
As the investigators have shown before, there was a tendency for a reduction of anxiety levels on university students after 30 minutes, with auriculotherapy treatment before examinations have started. However, the effect was effective and clinically significant after 48 hours comparing auriculotherapy with placebo and no treatment. In this sense, the investigators intend to perform a new study with a large sample and introduce a new hypothesis. So, this study aims to detect the clinical effect of two auriculotherapy techniques on the anxiety levels of university students.
Older adults with serious illness and their caregivers have high rates of anxiety and limited access to effective, non-pharmacological treatments. A recent National Academy of Medicine report recommended increased emphasis on disseminating and implementing evidence-based psychotherapies in order to have maximal public health impact. Through this work, I will identify a sustainable and potentially scalable dyadic intervention and delivery model to manage symptoms of anxiety in older adults with serious illness and their caregivers in primary care.
