The investigators are evaluating the acceptability and effectiveness of brief online wellness modules. Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention condition, an active control condition, or a wait-list control condition. The investigators are using a factorial design, such that each participant in the intervention condition will be randomly assigned to receive three of four wellness modules. The investigators will analyze the intervention's effectiveness as a universal intervention (using the full sample) and a targeted intervention (using the subset of the sample that reported elevated depressive symptoms or anxiety symptoms at baseline).
University of California, Los Angeles researchers will recruit healthy participants and anxious participants (those diagnosed with social anxiety disorder) age 18-55 years old to participate in a study examining whether the ability of social support figure reminders to enhance the extinction of fear in healthy participants extends to those with anxiety disorders. After being recruited from the UCLA community (healthy participants, n = 50) or referred by treatment providers at the Anxiety and Depression Research Center at UCLA (anxious participants, n = 50) and undergoing a telephone screening and in-person screening, 100 participants will be enrolled in the study, with an expected recruited 150 to reach this number. During the experiment, all participants will undergo the same procedures: undergoing a fear extinction procedure in which threatening cues--cues that predict electric shock--will be paired with either an image of a social support figure (provided by participants) or an image of a smiling stranger. These pairings will be presented repeatedly in the absence of shock in order for fear extinction to occur. Participants will return for a follow-up test to determine if fear extinction was successful.
University of California, Los Angeles researchers will recruit healthy participants and anxious participants (those diagnosed with social anxiety disorder) age 18-55 years old to participate in a study examining whether the ability of social support figure reminders to prevent the acquisition of fear in healthy participants extends to those with anxiety disorders. After being recruited from the UCLA community (healthy participants, n = 50) or referred by treatment providers at the Anxiety and Depression Research Center at UCLA (anxious participants, n =50) and undergoing a telephone screening and in-person screening, 100 participants will be enrolled in the study. During the experiment, all participants will undergo the same procedures: undergoing fear acquisition procedures--the repeated pairing of a neutral image with a mild electric shock that ultimately leads to the association of threat of shock with the image--in the presence of an image of a social support figure (provided by participants) and an image of a smiling stranger.
This RCT develops an ISSS program for secondary teachers. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of such an intervention in reducing depression/anxiety, compared with a WLC group.
The epidemic of coronavirus induces a major influx of patients implying a rapid modification of the organizations, a work overload and a significant stress for the care teams and supports of the hospitals of the Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) . To this is added the impact on each professional of the large number of very severe patients to be treated, of death and the anxiety of contamination, reinforced by the actual cases of staff themselves sick. Emergency phone numbers for professionals in the event of psychological suffering were quickly put in place at the AP-HP and Hospitals level. The objective of this study is to assess the psychopathological and psycho-traumatic consequences of this exceptional situation on the staff, during the epidemic and at a distance from it, in order to be able to target the solutions to be implemented. Hypothesis is that some personnel may develop one or more of the following disorders: adjustment disorder or other anxiety disorder, acute stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depressive episodes as defined in the DSM-5. This study also aimes to assess effect of support measures put in place, by comparing the evolution of those who benefited from those who did not use them, as well as the risk factors specific. The results will make it possible to have an estimate of the percentage of people who may require specific support, and to identify the staff most at risk, and thus predict the importance of the circuits and structures for support of staff which will be necessary in the short and long term. The main anticipated risk factors are: being a nurse, having a low number of years of professional experience, and being on the front line of care for affected patients.
The study aims to explore the experience of patients with Head and Neck Cancer, who are preparing for and/or completed radiotherapy treatment.
The investigators aim to evaluate a peer-to-peer patient self-management program targeting symptoms of anxiety and depression in a randomized trial. A total of 234 cancer patients recently having completed primary treatment with curative intent in central Region Denmark will be included. The intervention is a lay-led, group-based transdiagnostic patient education program consisting of seven 2 ½ hour weekly sessions focusing on increasing patient self-efficacy in symptom management of anxiety and depression. The intervention is highly structured and manualized.
The healthcare industry is inherently demanding, stressful, and, at times, emotionally draining. On a typical day, many workers must make rapid and critical decisions, manage numerous demands, team conflicts, and challenging situations with patients and their families. For some health care workers (HCW), the current pandemic - COVID-19 - has also exacerbated these challenges. Providing psychological support is key in alleviating stress among HCWs, yet the situation does not require therapy because HCWs do not principally suffer from a mental disorder. RECHARGE was specifically developed for HCWs and is an abbreviated online version of Problem Management Plus, an evidence-based intervention that helps to cope with stress in times of crisis. As a brief psychological intervention for adults affected by adversity emerging from stress exposure, RECHARGE teaches people three well-documented strategies to manage acute stress (a: managing stress, b: managing worry, c: meaningful activity). It includes psychoeducation, arousal reduction techniques, managing worries and problem-solving skills, behavioral activation, and enhancement of meaningful activities, which are all based on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of RECHARGE to reduce stress in HCWs and enhance their work performance. Participants in this randomized controlled trial (RCT) study are randomly assigned to either RECHARGE or the active control group. To this end, stress including symptoms of burnout, worries, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and work performance will be measured at baseline, post-intervention, and at a 2 and 6 month follow up.
This prospective observational study aims to describe the effectiveness of MC on pain, epilepsy, sleep and /or anxiety/depression in a cohorts of patients authorized to use MC, using pre-defined, validated self assessment scales.
