Filter by:Work-related attention bias modification training and virtual reality training in occupational rehabilitation is a multisite pilot study. The quantitative aim of this pilot study is to compared virtual reality (VR) training and attention bias modication (ABM) training to investigate whether the different training forms result in different results measured with work-related outcomes and cognitive outcomes. The qualitative aim of this pilot study is to investigate the patients' experiences with the usage of VR. Three rehabilitation insitutions will be recruiting patients participating in occupational rehabilitation, and the study will compare the outcomes of work-related interventions with and without the addition of ABM or VR training. The study seeks to determine if these interventions can improve work ability, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and change attentional bias from negative to positive stimuli.
In recent years, the prevalence of severe mental disorders in China has continued to grow, and the burden of disease in society has continued to rise. In order to improve the prognosis of patients with severe mental disorders and reduce the risk of disease relapse or readmission, researchers established a cohort based on the Ningbo Mental Health Information System in Ningbo, a sub-provincial city in the southern wing of the Yangtze River Delta of China, with a resident population of more than 9 million, and linked it to the residents' health records, and through the data linkage obtained data on patients in the full cycle of pre-diagnosis, diagnosis, follow-up, disease changes and death, realising full-cycle management of patients with severe mental disorders. Currently, NEED has accumulated data on more than 50,000 patients with severe mental disorders and obtained multi-dimensional longitudinal information through long-term follow-up and data linkage. All diseases follow the World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases 10th Edition (ICD-10) for clinical coding, and available data include baseline demographics, past history, family history, social functioning deficit screening scale scores, risk assessment, and so on and longitudinal health information from electronic health records (EHR), providing a solid data base for future real-world studies.
Depression and anxiety are major challenges to American children's optimal mental health, with already high rates exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet help is beyond reach for many children who do not have access to care for reasons including a severely depleted cadre of professionally trained service providers, fear of stigma that goes along with a diagnosis, low access to clinics, and lack of insurance. Without help their problems will likely accelerate and become more deleterious to their development as adolescents and young adults. The current study aims to address the lack of care by providing a program in school classrooms that will reduce children's symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as enhance their emotion regulation and coping skills. The mental health and adjustment of two groups of children are compared and evaluated at twelve week intervals in this clinical trial - those who first participate in the Kids' Empowerment Program (KEP) and a comparison group that participates in the program after the second evaluation. Once proven to be successful, the ultimate goal of the project is to disseminate the program throughout the State of Michigan and beyond, thereby providing children with tools that will empower them to be successful in managing emotional challenges throughout their life.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test impact of a multiprofessional intervention in mothers and partners who suffer a pregnancy loss. The main questions it aims to answer are: - impact on mothers and partners mental heatlht status - reasons why mothers do not consent to the intervention Participants will: - mothers and partners will complete 4 scales - mothers and partners will participate in a interview Researchers will compare with mothers with standard care to see if the multiprofessional intervention has an impact.
A single-centre prospective randomised controlled trial will be conducted with a minimum of 47 patients with severe mental disorder (SMD) who will be randomly assigned into two groups, 1 intervention group receiving dance therapy (n=26) and 1 control group who will not receive any intervention or added treatment apart from continuing with their usual treatment (pharmacological), but will not receive intervention with dance therapy (n=21). In summary, the groups are: - Experimental group (n=26): people with SMD receiving dance therapy. - Control group (n=21): people with SMD who do not receive the dance therapy intervention but do receive their usual pharmacological treatment. Tests will be administered before the start of the study and at the end of the study, as well as 3 months after the end of the study in order to compare the results between groups.
This cluster randomized trial develops and pilot tests a multi-level substance use stigma intervention that leverages organizational policy and professional education to address structural and professional drivers of stigma in outpatient mental health (MH) services. The investigators will generate preliminary data to determine whether adding an organizational policy to a professional stigma training may reduce measures of provider-based stigma towards substance use and improve care quality and patient outcomes to a greater degree than simply conducting training alone. The investigators hypothesize that providers at a MH site implementing an organizational policy change in addition to providing professional training will demonstrate greater improvement to health services for people who use drugs compared to a site where providers receive training alone.
This randomized controlled trial aimed to examine the effectiveness of a 10-session acceptance-based, insight-inducing medication adherence therapy (AIM-AT) program for recent-onset psychosis (in addition to usual care) over a 12-month follow-up (i.e., at immediate, 6-month, and 12-month post-intervention).
Our study aims to assess the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on psychotic severity among Inpatients with primary psychosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
The main objective of this study is to show that People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) suffering initially from a major depressive disorder, a psychotic disorder and/or had a suicide risk and who received a community-based psychiatric intervention improve sustainably their mental health and are comparable after intervention to a population of PWID free of these disorders in terms of: - HIV/HCV exposure - Severity of substance use - Quality of life This is prospective one-year cohort study comparing 200 PWID diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder with 400 controls (200 PWID living with HIV and 200 PWID non-infected with HIV, both free of a diagnosis of depression, psychosis, suicidal risk at cohort initiation). Psychiatric intervention includes free psychiatric consultations and medications (issued on CBO sites), support from CBO members for appointments, information, treatment adherence, contact with families and tracing of those lost to follow-up. Target population and controls will also be proposed linkage to care (HIV, methadone) and harm reduction services.
This study has been designed to conduct a pilot evaluation of a novel model of support aimed at promoting community integration (CI) following homelessness. This model is called the Peer to Community Model (P2C). The P2C model is an outreach peer support model aimed at facilitating CI for individuals living with concurrent disorders following homelessness. This approach uses relationship-building and engagement in meaningful activity facilitated by peer support specialists (PSS) in concert with occupational therapy (OT) and social work (SW) consultation. This model includes four distinct components: 1) peer support delivered in a community space dedicated to the program or community locations at a maximum ratio of 10:1; 2) OT and SW offering consultation to PSSs and service users; 3) a weekly support meeting for PSSs, OT and SW aimed at providing a venue for problem-solving through complex cases and providing mutual emotional support in the context of service delivery with a complex population; and 4) opportunities for social enterprise (developing ideas for income generation) within the community space. ***NOTE: This is a single model of support that includes the components identified above - these are not separate interventions, but various components of one intervention designed in previous research by the study team. In this clinical trial, the investigators will implement the P2C model for the first time. The study team will conduct a pilot study using an open randomized controlled trial, crossover design. A total of 20 participants will be assigned randomly to the intervention group, where they will receive P2C supports at baseline, and 20 participants will be assigned to a waitlist condition for six months, after which time, they will be offered the P2C intervention. Participants will be interviewed at baseline and every three months using mixed (qualitative and quantitative) interviews. Waitlisted participants will be interviewed during these same intervals using the same interview protocols, and while waiting, will receive care as usual.
