Filter by:Mindfulness is a technique that involves the intentional and non-judgmental regulation of attention to the present moment, with curiosity, openness, and acceptance, as per its definition. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been used to manage mood disorders in various clinical and non-clinical settings, including neurological patients and cardiovascular diseases. Studies have consistently demonstrated that MBIs reduce depressive and anxiety symptoms, as well as rumination. MBIs are considered an alternative and effective treatment for reducing psychological stress in the management of different health conditions. Virtual reality (VR) has recently been proposed as an intermediate interface to help patients with emotional dysregulation learn mindfulness practices. Within this context, new approaches to mental health integrating advanced technologies such as VR can play a critical role. In this interventional study we will seek to demonstrate the effectiveness of a virtual reality-mediated mindfulness-based intervention in a particular group of people who are constantly experiencing psychological distress due to caring for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
The goal of this randomised study is to learn about, the effect of hypnotherapeutic sound-files on the sleep of parents of infants in the neonatal unit. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can hypnotherapeutic sound-files make parents of infants in the neonatal unit sleep longer and better? - Does hypnotherapeutic sound-files effect the state anxiety score of parents of infants in the neonatal unit? Participants will have access to sound-files and: - wear actigraphy sleep registration - complete state-trait anxiety score
This research was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of the technology-based psychosocial empowerment program for home care for children aged 8-18 years with cancer and their parents as a parallel-group randomized controlled study design.The required institutional permission and ethics committee approval was received.The study group of the study consisted of 72 children and parents (intervention group [n=36], control group [n=36]). Data were collected using the descriptive features form, the General Self-Efficacy Scale-Pediatric Cancer Version, the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, the Pediatric Cancer Coping Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale for parents, the Problem-Solving Scale, and the Cope and Adaptatıon Process Scale. The data were stored in the SPSS 25 program.
Childhood obesity is a major public health concern worldwide and parents play a powerful role in children's eating behaviour. Most prior studies analysed parents and children's diet almost exclusively by evaluating food composition (i.e. calorie, macro- and micronutrient contents), with no or little attention paid to degree of food processing. The NOVA classification was proposed as a novel way to look at foods based on the degree of processing of foods rather than on their nutritional composition, postulating that processing may be as relevant to health as food composition. The term ultra-processed food (UPF) indicates industrially manufactured ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat formulations made mostly or entirely from substances extracted from foods or derived from food constituents often containing added flavours, colours, emulsifiers and other cosmetic additives. Most importantly, these industrial formulations are designed to maximize palatability and consumption through a combination of calorie-dense ingredients and chemical additives. Robust and well-conducted cohort studies worldwide found that a large dietary share of UPF is associated with shorter survival and an increased risk of non-communicable diseases. Given the rising popularity of UPF globally, and also in Mediterranean countries, the issue of food processing should be prioritized in relevant dietary recommendations with emphasis on consumption of minimally/unprocessed foods.
Risk factors associated with perioperative anxiety in parents of pediatric patients undergoing thoracic surgery are unknown. It is therefore necessary to identify them in order to better understand, above all, modifiable factors. This will allow the implementation of psychological interventions tailored to the individual needs of parents to strengthen their coping mechanisms before surgery, and thus facilitate the recovery process of their children after surgery. The purpose of the study is: 1. assessment of the level of anxiety experienced by parents before and after thoracic surgery, 2. assessment of risk factors for parents' perioperative anxiety, 3. assessment of the relationship between parents' perioperative anxiety and satisfaction with postoperative analgesia
The purpose of this study is to determine if non-invasive distracting devices (Virtual Reality headset) are more effective than the standard of care (i.e., no technology based distraction) for preventing anxiety in parental and pediatric populations
Background/Aims Parents of children with cerebral palsy face higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression, sadness, exhaustion and burnout. Parent-based therapies have been found to increase parents' satisfaction with therapy, parent-child interactions and reduced parental stress. This study examined the effects of parent-based occupational therapy on stress levels, coping skills, and emotional skills and competencies of parents of children with cerebral palsy. Methods A total of 15 children and their parents who were admitted to the paediatric rehabilitation unit for occupational therapy were divided into two groups (control group: n=7, study group: n=8) using the coin toss randomisation method. The control group received standard occupational thearpy, while the study group received parent-based occupational therapy for 45 minutes a session, twice a week, until 10 sessions had been completed. Participants were evaluated before and after the intervention.
Aim: The study was carried out to evaluate the effect of distance education, which is given with a video prepared for the approach to the child with fever, on the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of parents with children in the 0-5 age group. Method: This is a randomized controlled intervention study. The research was carried out in Eskişehir City Hospital Pediatric Emergency Service, between 8th April 2022 and 10th June 2022. The study was completed with 99 parents with children aged 0-5 years old who consulted to the pediatric emergency service with the complaint of fever. In the study, there are 2 groups in total: the intervention group (n=50) which videos of approaching the febrile child was watched once a week and 2 videos, and the control group (n=49) which no other application is made except for the routine procedure of the hospital. "Descriptive Information Form" and "Parental Fever Management Scale" were used to collect data. Data collection tools were applied to the parents before and after the application. IBM SPSS Statistics 26 package program was used to evaluate the data. A statistically significant p<0.05 value was accepted.
The research was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to examine the effects of the child's pain, fear and parent's satisfaction before and after vascular access with a musical toy-xylophone, which is used as a distraction technique for the preparation of the 3-6 year old child hospitalized in the pediatric clinic.
Pregnancies in women with pre-existing diabetes are considered "high risk" pregnancies, poses daily clinical challenges and in terms of research - a number of unanswered questions. Therefore, the investigators wish to establish a nationwide cohort of pregnancies complicated by pre-existing diabetes - the Danish Diabetes Birth Registry (DDBR2) The DDBR2 registry comprises all types of pre-existing diabetes including T1D, T2D and other types (as MODY), generating a nationwide cohort of mother/partner/children trios with accessible registry-, clinical data and biological biobank samples. This will enable the investigators to use data longitudinally to examine short- and long-term outcomes of pregnancies in women with diabetes.
