The main questions aim to answer: Do race, ethnicity, and language matched peer support groups decrease parental stress and anxiety and improve sense of belonging of parents while their baby is hospitalized in the NICU? And, are there any changes that should be made to the format of the peer support group sessions? Participants will be invited to attend a peer support group that is matched for race, ethnicity, and language. Participants will have the option of filling out a survey on stress, anxiety, and sense of belonging before and after the peer group session. Additionally, participants will have the option of filling out a satisfaction survey after the peer group session.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic represented a global public health problem that brought considerable consequences to the physical and mental health of the entire population. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of the brief behavioral intervention for insomnia by teleconsultation (BBII-TC) with the brief behavioral intervention for face-to-face insomnia (BBII) on symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, depression, quality of sleep and life in a sample. of patients with long COVID. Methodology: Randomized controlled trial of equivalence with two groups in parallel (1:1) with repeated measures in pretreatment, posttreatment and follow-up at 3 months. The sample will be composed of male or female participants, in an age range of 18 to 40 years. The sample size was calculated, obtaining a total of 52 participants, the expected effect size is .40, with a significance of 0.05 and a probability error of 80%. Participants in the two groups will be assessed with the following instruments: Sleep Diary, Patient Health Questionnaire 9, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index , Insomnia Severity Index, SF-36 Health Survey and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7; at the beginning and end of treatment; and in a follow-up at 3 months. TData analysis: The Kolmogrov-Smirnov test will be carried out to determine the normality of the data, in case the distribution is parametric, an ANOVA of repeated measures will be carried out for the comparison of data between the pre, post and monitoring for each of the groups; in the event that the data does not have a normal distribution, the Friedman test will be performed for the comparison of repeated measures. Finally, to avoid bias in the data analysis, an external investigator will be asked to perform the randomization and data processing.
Insomnia is a disorder characterized by both nocturnal and daytime symptoms. The main symptoms are unsatisfactory sleep quality or duration, accompanied by difficulty falling asleep before bedtime, frequent or prolonged awakenings, or an inability to fall back asleep after waking in the early morning. Our previous investigation has confirmed that during the period of home isolation of the epidemic, the community people suffered from acute insomnia induced by the epidemic. In order to comprehensively, efficiently and scientifically respond to major public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 epidemic and its long-term impact, it is necessary to carry out in-depth and systematic research on insomnia related issues of medical staff under the COVID-19 epidemic. In summary, insomnia is a widespread problem among medical staff during the epidemic, which greatly reduces the work efficiency of medical staff and damages their physical and mental health. Without timely and effective early identification and effective intervention, allowing the disease to continue to develop will bring a series of concurrent diseases, threaten the lives of medical staff and bring a series of negative social effects. At the same time, the diagnosis and intervention of large-scale acute insomnia for medical staff under the epidemic face some scenario limitations, and it is necessary to consider the spread of the virus to reduce direct contact. Especially for some medical staff in isolation, it is more difficult to implement face-to-face evaluation, diagnosis and treatment. Under the COVID-19 pandemic, there are two main contradictions in the acute insomnia of medical staff. The first is the lack of a diagnostic cloud platform based on artificial intelligence for large-scale acute insomnia. The second is the lack of an effective remote intervention for acute insomnia suitable for the epidemic scenario. Based on the results and deficiencies of the previous research, this project intends to further study and improve in three aspects. First, a large-scale and more accurate artificial intelligence-based automatic screening and diagnosis model research was carried out in combination with CPC equipment for acute insomnia screening of medical staff under the epidemic situation. The second is to use epidemic insomnia acute insomnia CPR to intervene the acute insomnia and other psychiatric symptoms of medical staff on a large scale and verify its effectiveness through follow-up. Third, for the epidemic scenario, further build an intelligent screening and remote intervention system platform for acute insomnia for the majority of medical staff, and continue to provide an assessment, intervention and consultation platform for medical staff under the epidemic. Therefore, in order to comprehensively cope with the increase in the incidence of acute insomnia among medical staff under the COVID-19 epidemic and its resulting disease, social and economic burden, we should pay attention to the mental health of medical staff in the first-level key susceptible population, and improve the response experience of major public health emergencies in the future. This project aims to establish a portable and efficient artificial intelligent-based diagnosis cloud platform method and remote intervention system for medical staff with acute insomnia under the epidemic situation, which is suitable for large-scale development. Based on the data collected by portable devices and electronic scales, a risk assessment model for acute insomnia and other psychiatric symptoms of medical staff in the epidemic situation is constructed, and effective intervention is carried out on this basis. To promote the establishment of a comprehensive prevention and treatment system for insomnia after the epidemic, comprehensively carry out systematic work from multiple perspectives, improve mental health, summarize and form China's experience in dealing with major public emergencies, and promote it internationally, so as to reduce the impact and loss caused by the COVID-19 epidemic on a global scale.
This study aims to find out that if a specially designed educational program can help in reduction of pre-operative anxiety in breast cancer patients undergoing surgery as a part of their treatment.
This study is examining the effects of noninvasive brain stimulation on anxiety. Low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) will be utilized to neuromodulate the brain prior to a task (NPU). Physiological recordings will be taken throughout (EEG, EMG, HR, BP, RR, GSR).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Integrated Resiliency Training and Task Sharing (IRTTS) to Workplace Improvement Learning Collaborative (WILC) in group homes for adults with serious mental illness and/or intellectual and developmental disabilities. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is IRTTS superior to WILC in improving residential care worker (RCW) resiliency; stress management and burnout; depression and anxiety; and positive health behaviors? - Is IRTTS superior to WILC in improving RCW turnover/retention; RCW sick days/absenteeism; and group home safety and resident incidents? - What are the barriers, facilitators, and resources required to successfully implement IRTTS and WILC? Participants may engage in training sessions, collaborate with residents and other RCWs in their group homes, attend meetings with RCWs from other group homes, complete surveys, participate in focus groups, and/or give qualitative interviews. Researchers will compare IRTTS to WILC to see which intervention should be implemented to achieve the greatest improvement in RCW resiliency and greatest reduction in burnout and turnover in group homes for adults with serious mental illness and/or developmental and intellectual disabilities.
This study is an interventional type three-group randomized controlled non-drug clinical trial aimed at targeting the acute pain content and anxiety level of aromatherapy arm treatment with a sesame oil and sesame lavender oil mixture performed with Simple Mastectomy (BM) / Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM). It constitutes a total of 66 patients with the power to represent the universe. However, considering the losses that may occur during the study process, it was decided that it would be appropriate to include 90 patients, 36% more than the sample. Individuals receiving arm massage with sesame oil (Group I), individuals performing arm massage with sesame-lavender oil mixture (Group II), and individuals performing arm massage with paraffin oil (Group III) constitute the research groups. After obtaining the informed written consent of the participants who agreed to participate in the study, the randomization list created from the computer-based random numbers table will be used with the block randomization method to assign an equal number of people to all three groups. In the preoperative period, patients will be given an allergic sensitivity (patch) test of the oils to be used in the study to Groups 1 and 2, massage training will be given to all groups with the show-and-have method in the pre-operative period, a massage application brochure and video will be given, and information will be given on how to fill out the follow-up forms. H1: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with sesame oil reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with paraffin oil.H2: After simple mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with paraffin oil.H3: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with sesame oil reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with paraffin oil.H4: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with paraffin oil.H5: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with sesame oil.H6: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with sesame oil.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of the progressive relaxation exercises in perioperative bariatric surgery patient care. The investigators know that the preoperative anxiety is an important factor that affects acute postoperative pain experience. Additionally, the investigators know that there is a relationship between preoperative anxiety and moderate to severe pain in the first 12 hours postoperatively, and this is also true for patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does preoperative anxiety level of patient who will undergo bariatric surgery and who are applied progressive relaxation exercises is lower than those who did not apply exercise? - Does postoperative pain level of patient who underwent bariatric surgery and applied progressive relaxation exercises was lower than patients who did not apply exercise? Participants will be randomly split into two groups and one of the groups of participants will learn how to do progressive relaxation exercises preoperatively and the other group will learn nothing. Then at the time of the surgery, all participants will fill a survey preoperatively to analyze participants' anxiety level in each group and the investigators will collect data about participants' pain level postoperatively. Researchers will compare these data whether there is an effect of the progressive relaxation exercises on preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain or not.
Many youth with disabilities and their families receive "care coordination services" from a state Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) agency. MCHB care coordination services help youth with disabilities get the medical care and social services they need to be healthy. Complex HEalth Care for Kids (CHECK) developed a program to combine mental health treatment and care coordination services for youth with disabilities. The goal of this study is to see whether a care coordination program that treats depression and anxiety (MCHB care coordination + CHECK) is better than a care coordination program (MCHB care coordination alone) that refers youth to mental health services in terms of making youth feel healthier, happier, and able to handle future challenges. The project team will test which care coordination approach is better at making youth with disabilities: (Aim 1) less anxious and depressed; (Aim 2) feel healthier, function better, and practice healthy habits; (Aim 3) improve their ability to manage their health. This study will also evaluate which approach makes (Aim 4) youth, caregivers, and providers feel more satisfied with their care coordination experience. This study will give youth with disabilities and their families information about what kinds of care coordination models are available, and better suited to their needs. The study team will reach out to 780 youth with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, age 13-20 years old, who receive care coordination services from the state of Illinois MCHB. If these youth are eligible and agree to be in the study, they will be placed, by chance, into either MCHB care coordination alone or into the MCHB care coordination + CHECK program. In both groups, youth will have a care coordinator who helps them identify and make plans to meet their needs and provides referrals to services/resources. Youth in the MCHB care coordination + CHECK care coordination will get mental health treatment directly from CHECK staff if they report symptoms of depression or anxiety. Treatment may include an online program or group meetings that teach youth how to cope with negative thoughts and feelings. Youth in each group will be followed for 24 months and will receive gift cards for participating. Youth will be asked questions about anxiety and depression, health, functioning, ability to manage their health care, self-efficacy, and their experience with care coordination.
