Filter by:Mood Lifters is a revolutionary mental wellness program that teaches scientifically validated strategies in a supportive group setting. This study will test two new versions of the program designed specifically for graduate students and young professionals. Participants will need to attend 12 hour long virtual weekly meetings on Zoom that focus on helpful mental health strategies and skills. Participants will be encourage to practice what the participants learn at home in order to improve their mood or mental wellness. Additionally, participants will complete a series of measures (approx. 1-1.5 hours) prior to, at the end of the program, 1 month after the program and 6 months after the program.
Background: Psychoeducation is a process used in the realization of the principles of treatment and rehabilitation of mental illnesses and aims to help the patient and his/her family outside the hospital, to help the patient cope with the problems, experiencing, and to support them to live productive lives in society. Aims: This study aims to determine the effect of psychoeducation, given in a psychiatry dayhospital, on patients' self-sufficiency and well-being. Methods: The research is a single-blind randomized controlled experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of 28 schizophrenic patient(14experiment-14control), who agreed to participate in the study, followed in XXX University Psychiatry Day Hospital. In the study, an 8-week psychoeducation program was applied to the experimental group, and no intervention was made tothe control group. Socio-demographic data form, self-sufficiency scale, and well-being scale were used as data collection tools. The data obtained were analyzed using theSPSS-23 package program. Results: After the eight-week psychoeducation program, the pretest and posttest scores of the evaluations obtained from the scales of both groups were compared. It was found that while there was no change in thescores of the control group, there was an increase in the well-being and self-efficacy scores of the experimental group. While the increase in well-being was statistically significant(p<0.05), the increase in self-sufficiency score wasnot statistically significant(p>0.05), but the numerical increase was considered tobe aclinically significant result.
The present study is a randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy and acceptability of CBT and MBCT group-based interventions adapted for young people at elevated risk for mood or psychotic disorder onset or relapse. Young people (ages 13-24) are provided with targeted psychoeducation and learn a variety of coping skills and wellness practices for mood regulation and stress and distress management. Parents meet separately to learn the same skills and receive guidance in supporting their youth with skill development. The therapy is also augmented by a mobile phone application that supports regular symptom monitoring and skills practice.
Formal caregiving of elderly dependent people is a both physically and psychologically demanding job, and both musculoskeletal and mental disorders with a negative impact in general health and quality of life are habitual among eldercare workers. Previous research has shown that physical exercise programs can reduce and/or prevent those disorders, consequently improving well-being at work. Online exercise interventions might be a cost-effective tool, as they can reach a large number of people at a relatively low cost. Moreover, they are compatible with situations in which interpersonal physical distancing is required, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, real-time videoconference-based exercise interventions have not yet been studied in working populations. Thus, the aim of this study is to assess the effects of a real-time videoconference-based exercise intervention in eldercare workers. The primary outcome will be low back pain. Pain in neck, shoulders and wrists/hands will also be recorded, as well as additional measures of physical fitness, psychoaffective state, health and work-related variables. All outcomes will be measured at baseline and at 12-week and 48-week follow-ups.
The relationships we have in childhood affect how we relate to others across our life, including how safe or secure we feel. If our caregivers do not meet our needs well enough in childhood, this can lead to an 'insecure attachment style'. This means we may push others away or cling to them, but never feel fully safe or secure with them. This style is common in people who have mental health problems. This includes psychosis, when people have unusual experiences such as hearing voices others cannot hear. A lot of people with psychosis have difficult experiences with mental health services. This includes involuntary treatments, traumatic interactions and hospital stays, where they may think staff are trying to harm rather than help them. As a result they may not feel safe working with staff and they might re-experience the negative memories of these events. This is known as psychosis-related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PR-PTSD) and can lead to ongoing problems. Imagery is often defined as mental pictures but it includes imagining our senses (smell, touch, taste) too. It can be a useful therapy tool to help people to work with difficult memories and can help them to feel more safe and secure. Research shows that this is helpful for people with psychosis and people who have been through trauma. Hence, it may be helpful for people with PR-PTSD. The study aims to see if it is viable to do a 6-session therapy using imagery to target PR-PTSD memories. The study will use a case series design where up to 12 people with psychosis will be able to try the therapy. They will be asked to complete questionnaires to understand any potential benefits of the therapy. The findings could inform the research and allow for further development of therapies in this area.
Our aims are to 1) test that our intervention that can be measured with high fidelity. 2) determine the feasibility of the intervention including recruitment, procedures, measures, intervention acceptability and resources . 3)We will also test the outcomes of this 14-week fitness and wellness program based at a YMCA Healthy Living Center to gauge the effects of exercise and activity on patients with behavioral diagnoses including bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia. We also want to explore the influence of participating in such a program on the perceptions of mental illness among rehabilitation sciences students.
Rural areas have fewer, and less well trained, health care providers than non-rural areas. Schools have become more involved in the delivery of mental health services and hold great potential for increasing access to children and adolescents. Innovations in training and service delivery are needed to improve mental health care quality and availability in rural schools. Evidence-based practices (EBPs) can be incorporated into school-wide multi-tiered systems that are currently used to improve school climate and safety. School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), a service-delivery strategy based on the public health model is one example. Investigators will use an iterative process (Rapid Prototyping) to develop and evaluate the appropriateness, feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a remote training strategy that provides resources to support use of Tier 2 EBPs and effective support for care coordination practices in rural schools.
This project is a two-armed randomized-controlled trial exploring the effectiveness and mechanisms of change of two different implementation strategies for implementing the Guideline for the prevention of mental ill-health at the workplace. The project will be conducted among public primary and secondary schools belonging to four municipalities in Sweden. Data will be collected with mixed-methods at baseline and different time-points of follow-up.
Design: This parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted according to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). Methods: In total, 90 patients were randomly assigned to either the intervention or the control group. After a 2-week washout period, the intervention group was reassigned to the control and vice versa. The CONSORT checklist for RCT was reported. Psychotic symptoms, emotional reactions, behavioral relaxation responses and heart rates were assessed at 6 time points.
This study aims to examine REMOTION, an internet-based intervention aimed at reducing symptom severity and improving emotion regulation in an acute psychiatric inpatient care setting. REMOTION is currently being studied in an outpatient psychotherapy setting. This study aims to investigate feasibility and first effects of this intervention in inpatient psychiatric care.
