Filter by:This pilot randomized controlled trial of the Vermont Family Based Approach (VFBA) tested the feasibility of the VFBA in primary care pediatrics and its effects on children's and parents' emotional and behavioral problems and health-related quality of life. The VFBA is a public health framework for evidence-based health promotion, prevention, and treatment that is delivered from the family perspective and emphasizes emotional and behavioral health. The VFBA group received the VFBA intervention, while the Control group received pediatric primary care as usual.
The overall objective of this study is to assess the enormity of mental health outcomes among healthcare providers (nurses and physicians) exposed to COVID-19 during the time of the pandemic in the United States, specifically targeting those areas most effected.
Recovery-oriented approach has been the main trend in mental health field. However, few recovery-oriented programs are available in Taiwan, and many Taiwanese people with mental illness don't understand the concepts of recovery. A program which provides recovery knowledge and assists in setting recovery goals is beneficial for Taiwanese people with mental illness. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a recovery program for people with mental illness.
A shorted form of the previously tested, Parent Child Interaction Therapy Emotion Development (PCIT-ED) will be conducted with a sample of preschoolers who exhibit symptoms of behavioral problems as rated by teacher. Children aged 3-7 will be randomized to a 12-week PCIT-ED delivered by trained therapists in the school setting or an on-line parent training called "Parenting Wisely (PW)". Children will have a 60% chance of being randomized to PCIT-ED and 40% to PW. The treatment will be provided to eligible children in the Jennings School District at the school site. In order to test the efficacy of PCIT-ED, to estimate accurate effect sizes, and to investigate mediators and moderators of treatment response, participants will complete comprehensive pre- and post-assessments at Washington University School of Medicine Early Emotional Development Program. Preschoolers over age 3 will be offered the option of enrolling in an add-on electroencephalography and magnetic resonance imagery study, to investigate neural changes associated with PCIT-ED or PW. Compared to those randomized to PW, we expect preschoolers who undergo PCIT-ED will show significantly increased rates of remission of behavioral problems, greater reductions in symptoms, and decreases in impairment. We hypothesize that they will show significantly greater increases in emotional competence measured by the ability to accurately identify emotions in themselves and others and the ability to effectively regulate intense emotions. Compared to those on the PW, parents who undergo PCIT-ED will show significantly greater increases in emotion skill learning and reductions in MDD symptoms and parenting stress.
This study aims at evaluating the effectiveness of a mobile phone based intervention to prevent and manage mental health problems in healthcare workers at the frontline against COVID-19 in Spain. The intervention will consist in psychoeducation, delivered via a mobile App. Participants will be followed up during two weeks. The primary outcome will be symptomatology of depression, anxiety or stress.
France has been put on a lockdown for 8 weeks to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus between 17/03/2020 and 11/05/2020. During this lockdown, which is likely to have psychopathological repercussions on the population, the public authorities and the media informed the population about the number of deaths occurring each day. While the functioning of autobiographical memory following traumatic events remains a debate in the literature, the impact of the daily announcement of mass deaths on the memory system in the general population and the relationship between long-term memory and delusional thinking in certain psychopathologies have yet to be explored in the literature. The investigators wish to demonstrate that self-reported recall of recorded deaths may represent this distortion of perception, symptomatic of these pathologies by an on-line questionnaire.
Engagement with clinical services for youth with early psychosis represents a significant challenge, with up to 40% of patients dropping out of treatment in the first year. This has been linked to worse illness outcomes and represents a significant barrier to recovery for these patients. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of short message service (SMS) as a means of improving clinical engagement in early-episode psychosis populations by bridging contact between appointments with weekly check-ins/reminders. These weekly check-ins during the first year of treatment will serve as an additional opportunity to reach out to patients and give them a chance to do the same with their care teams, with patient responses triggering clinician follow-up if necessary.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of an antipsychotic medication decision aid and interpersonal and cognitive factors, such as attachment style and motivation, on emerging adults' ability to engage in shared decision making regarding their medications.
The purpose of this study is to compare two clinical approaches to youth mental health care.
Covid-19 pandemic now affects more than two million people worldwide. The neurotropism of the virus is assumed by its frequent association with neurological symptoms (anosmia, ageusia, headaches) but the extent of the central or peripheral nervous system involvement and the associated symptomatology remain poorly known for now. The main objective of this study is to describe the neurological and psychiatric manifestations occurring in the context of Covid-19 infection in patients hospitalized or followed-up in the APHP.SU hospital group. A better understanding of the neuropsychiatric impairment related to Covid-19 would improve the management of these patients in the acute phase, and knowledge of subsequent complications would allow adapting their rehabilitation and follow-up. The precise phenomenological description of these manifestations and the imaging, biology and neuropathology data will be compiled from the data collected by the physicians in charge of these patients as part of their inpatient or outpatient care. This study will also allow collecting unusual clinical manifestations from patients followed for neurological or psychiatric pathology in hospital departments and presenting a Covid-19 infection, in order to optimize the reorganization of their management, follow-up and rehabilitation in the epidemic context.
