Filter by:Regular physical activity (PA) promotes benefits for both physical and mental health. Among the numerous PA's with a collective nature that can add to the existing recommendations, combat sports training interventions are viable alternatives since they integrate benefits in different aspects for health. In this way, capoeira can be a strategy for the prescription of exercise, aiming to serve participants collectively and maintaining the adherence of this practitioner to the intervention. However, little is known about this issue. So, the aim of the present study is to verify the effect of 12 weeks of capoeira training on the physical performance and psychological aspects of previously physically inactive adults.
The goal of this study is to evaluate a culturally grounded training curriculum, First Face for Mental Health, in Tribal communities, using a waitlist controlled randomized trial design. This curriculum will train Tribal community members in how to respond to youth and adults experiencing mental health crises and serve as a bridge between these individuals and the help they need. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Does the training increase mental health knowledge, capacity and ability to respond to mental health situations, perceived competence to respond, and actual responsive actions among trainees? - Does the training decrease mental health stigmatizing attitudes and increase cultural identity among trainees? Participants will complete surveys before and after completing the First Face training, across five time points over the course of two years. Half of the participants will be randomized to receive the training initially, and half will receive it six months later. Researchers will compare the two groups to examine whether the trainees demonstrate changes in the outcomes of interest compared to the waitlist control group during the first six months, and whether both groups demonstrate sustained changes after the first six months (i.e., once both groups have received training).
The present study is an evaluation of school-based intervention. The intervention aims to strengthen students' well-being and increase their mental health through training in tools that increase self-efficacy and ability to understand themselves and others. The Danish Committee for Health Education is responsible for developing and implementing the intervention and for recruiting schools, while the the Danish National Institute of Public Health at University of Southern Denmark is responsible for the evaluation of the intervention, including data collection, analysis and reporting.
First Responders are expected to maintain high-performance levels under extreme conditions. However, constant intense workplace stress, physical work demands, and irregular shift hours are taking a severe toll on frontline workers. These demands often lead to physical and mental health problems, poor job performance, and lifestyle issues. Without better support and resources, these demands will continue to cause first responders to be trapped in a vicious cycle that typically includes occupational trauma, stress, and maladaptive coping skills. The purpose of this research is to: 1. Better understand the physiological, psychological, and cognitive impacts workplace stress and irregular shift hours have on first responders 2. Better understand the most prominent challenges first responders face when trying to manage their own physical and mental health. Through the results of this study, we hope to identify possible solutions/interventions at the individual, clinical and departmental levels to help first responders better manage their stress and improve their quality of life.
School interventions to reduce bullying can be effective but also require substantial time and resources. Online technologies have the potential to deliver effective bullying interventions to a large number of middle school students for less cost. The feasibility of delivering the effective STAC bullying intervention through a mobile web app will be tested using focus groups with middle school students and development and usability testing and the efficacy of the program will be tested using a randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study is to compare two versions of school-based mental health screening to improve the receipt of mental health services among elementary school students.
This project, Refining and Implementing Technology-Enhanced Family Navigation to Promote Early Access and Engagement with Mental Health Services for Youth with Autism (ATTAIN NAV) is focused on adapting and implementing family navigation in primary care settings to help accelerate and facilitate engagement in mental health and community services for children with autism and their families.
This clinical trial is evaluating Whole Health STEPS (Structured Tiered Engagement with Peer Support), a package of services designed to improve functional outcomes for primary care Veterans with mental health concerns who are not actively engaged in mental health services. Whole Health STEPS uses a Peer Support Specialist, or Peer, to provide support for Veterans to make progress on wellness goals using the Whole Health model. The level of support provided will be determined based on Veterans' progress and will be stepped-up until Veterans receive the level of support they need. Whole Health STEPS offers a non-mental health referral option for primary care Veterans with mental health concerns, provides a structured package of existing Whole Health services, and provides a structured service for peers in primary care settings.
Globally, access to mental healthcare is often non-existent in rural, resource-deprived communities despite the pervasive need for services, particularly in post-conflict and post-disaster settings. We are developing and piloting will develop and pilot a culturally appropriate training model for non-specialist providers (NSPs) to deliver high-quality mental health care over a period of 24 months in a primary care hospital in a rural district in Nepal. We will employ a mixed methods framework to evaluate change in skills, knowledge, and attitude in NSP's, identify key mechanisms for continuum of mental healthcare delivery, and efficacy and cost-effectiveness in care delivery through a government hospital, clinics, and a network of community health workers. This integrated approach will introduce a bundled intervention that includes: both an on-site care coordinator and off-site psychiatric supervisors based in Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, weekly case conferences, and surveys of NSP's and clinical supervisors every six months during the study period. To learn about the acceptability, feasibility and challenges in the program we will also conduct Focus Group Discussions among the PCPs. In the last one year of the research in Achham District we have seen increase in knowledge efficacy and skills among the NSPs and also improved mental health care services at Bayalpata Hospital. Our experience in Achham motivated us to develop a similar program for Charikot Primary Health Center in Dolakha District. Outcomes of this study will focus on efficacy of this model to appropriately identify, counsel, and treat patients with depression, psychosis, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) through an integrated rural mental healthcare delivery intervention as a model for rural healthcare delivery.
Check your health is a prevention intervention designed to create awareness and action on health condition with focus at physical activity at a population-level to 30-49 years of age. It consists of a behavioural and clinical examination followed by either (I) referral to a health promoting consultation in general practice (II) targeted behavioural programmes at the local Health Centre or (III ) no need for follow-up; stratified after risk-profile. The CORE trial (Check your health) aim to investigate effectiveness on health and social outcomes of the preventive health check and to establish the cost-effectiveness according to life years gained; direct costs and total health costs. A pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial has been established to meet the aims and in total 10.600 individuals from 35 practices have been randomized in to two groups that will be invited in 2013-14 and 2017-18 respectively. The group offered the preventive health check in 2013-14 will constitute the intervention group and the group examined in 2017 - 18 the control group. A follow up of the intervention group in 2017 - 18 will provide data for the intention to treat analysis revealing the effect. Outcome measures are level of physical activity, risk of getting cardiovascular disease, sick leave and labor market attachment.
