Filter by:A comprehensive study examining the physiological, emotional and psychological aspects of stress among Korean adults
A study in South Korea assessed the effectiveness of the "MINDLiNG" digital mental healthcare program, targeting maladaptive personality traits, and found significant improvements in reducing stress, perfectionism, loneliness, and anxiety, while increasing self-esteem among participants. The study highlights the potential of digital solutions to address the high demand for mental healthcare services in South Korea.
Digital Mental Health Service, MINDLiNG, has developed Schema Scale that identifies individual's personality based on schema theory. The goal of this study is to determine the reliability and validity of the Schema Scale.
Detailed Description The doula-led intervention developed during the first phase of this project will be pilot tested for feasibility. Following the recruitment procedures described in the recruitment and retention plan, approximately 75 participants will be enrolled into the study. Twenty-five of the participants will receive regular doula care and 25 of the participants will receive care from a doula trained in the PMAD doula training throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum time period, following the intervention procedures developed in Aim 2 of this study. Twenty-five women will not receive care from a doula and will receive perinatal care as usual. Women in all groups will take surveys via REDCap during their enrollment in the intervention, at 1 month postpartum, 3 months, and 6 months postpartum (at the conclusion of the intervention). All participants who receive the PMAD doula intervention will complete checklists after each session with their doula, to assess fidelity to the intervention. Participant communication with their doula via patient notebook will also be assessed for fidelity to the intervention.
This SBIR Phase I study will test the acceptability and feasibility of a novel measurement and feedback system tailored to Wraparound service model (WSM) for emotional disorders to produce a feasible, cost-efficient, and scalable software system to meet the pressing public health need for Measurement-based Care in care coordination for youth behavioral health.
The purpose of this study is to develop and test a family navigator training and an app (a technology-based treatment support system) for low-resourced families of young children (aged 3-5) with autism. The hypothesis is that the navigator training and treatment support system will help enable navigators to support families of young children with autism in accessing needed services.
Randomized controlled trial to determine the best brief suicide prevention intervention for adults and adolescents who screen positive for suicidal ideation or behavior in emergency departments or primary care clinics. Aim 1: Compare the effectiveness of two brief suicide prevention interventions (safety planning intervention plus structured phone-based follow-up from a suicide prevention hotline (SPI+), versus safety planning intervention plus caring contacts (CC)) to (a) reduce suicidal ideation and behavior, (b) reduce loneliness, (c) reduce return to care for suicidality, and (d) increase uptake of outpatient mental healthcare services over 12 months among adult and adolescent patients screening positive for suicide in emergency departments (EDs) and primary care clinics. Aim 2: Assess the acceptability of connection and support planning and the safety planning intervention, with or without follow-up among providers and clinical staff in EDs and primary care clinics. Aim 3: Assess the acceptability of SPI+ and SP+CC among adult and adolescent patients.
Healthcare organizations have increasingly formed quality-improvement Learning Collaboratives to improve care for specific populations; however, there are few data on the effectiveness of this strategy compared to conventional training approaches. The primary aim of this cluster randomized implementation trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual learning collaborative (VLC) in the implementation of a lifestyle intervention for persons with serious mental illness (SMI) in routine mental health settings, compared to typical implementation consisting of site training and one-on-one individual technical assistance (TA). The investigators hypothesize that VLC compared to TA will be associated with greater Program Participation, Program Fidelity, and a greater proportion of participants achieving clinically significant weight loss.
The Supportive Release Center (SRC) is a collaboration between the University of Chicago Urban Health Lab, Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities, Heartland Alliance Health, and the Cook County Sheriff's office. The aim of the SRC is to identify individuals with mental illnesses, substance use disorders, and other vulnerabilities as they are released from the Cook County Jail (CCJ), provide an improved environment to assess needs of these individuals, and facilitate effective linkages with social services following release, including medical care and substance use or mental health treatment. The SRC improves the current standard of care offered at the CCJ by introducing mechanisms to facilitate engagement with post-release services and address individuals' immediate acute needs. The primary objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the impact of assignment to the SRC on the number of arrests within one year of study enrollment among eligible men being released from the Cook County Jail. Researchers hypothesize that the SRC is more effective than usual care at facilitating and ensuring receipt of transition services and care, and that receipt of this treatment will decrease the number of arrests within one year of study enrollment.
The European Union is funding this randomised trial in Scotland as part of the larger eCAP project (http://www.interreg-npa.eu/projects/funded-projects/project/139/). The need for psychiatric services for children and adolescents is usually greater than the services available. As well as this, in many cases, there is confusion as to which service the child or young person should be referred to. The way children and young people arrive at Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) may therefore be relatively inefficient and families could suffer as a result of this inefficiency. The use of a computerised structured questionnaire such as the Development and Well-being Assessment (DAWBA) offers the opportunity for these difficulties to be addressed, for the avoidance of 'inappropriate referrals' and for more rational use of resources. It is usually administered online through a secure internet portal. At the end of the data collection, a computerised summary is generated from the data given by all the informants and a child/adolescent psychiatrist lists the likely diagnosis or diagnoses in a summary of the case and gives his view about the next steps. This is then made available to the referrer. This community-based study aims to establish whether using the DAWBA in this way helps children and young people with mental health problems. The main objectives are to improve their mental health, reduce waiting times, change referral practice, increase satisfaction in services and improve cost effectiveness. The principal outcome measure will be parent-rated Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) score 6 months after randomisation. Secondary outcome measures will include teacher and child-rated SDQ at 6 months and waiting times to services. The investigators will also record service use data and family out -of -pocket costs. A random sample of young people, family and referrers will be interviewed to explore satisfaction with service.
