NCT ID: NCT06064760 Recruiting - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Workshop on Strengths and Competences to Improve Psychological Wellbeing and Quality of Life of Grandparents

Start date: May 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Recent social and demographic changes in Western countries have led to a reorganization of the family relationships, such as grandparents-grandchildren bond. The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) shows, on the one hand, that 52% of grandparents are auxiliary caregivers of their grandchildren and, on the other hand, that more than 15% of grandparents regularly care for their grandchildren, being the Spanish percentage the second highest of Europe. Given these figures, it is clear that many grandparents today are playing an important role as socializing agents for their grandchildren. According to this, grandparents play their socializing rol by passing on their grandchildren skills, experiences, values, beliefs and affection. This bond not only influences positively on grandchildren, but also on grandparents. Caring for grandchildren allows grandparents to resolve the crises of generativity and integrity of self, included in Erikson's Theory of Psychosocial Development. Moreover, high leves of generativity are related with greater personal growth, one of the dimensions of psychological wellbeing. However, the literature on the socializing rol of grandparents is scarce and has focus on the negative effects of caring for grandchildren. In contrast, recent studies demonstrates that caring for grandchildren has positive effect on grandparents' health and life satisfaction. Being important to consider the negative consequences of this type of care, is also necessary to develop a new perspective, focus on protective factors of grandparents' psychological wellbeing and quality of life. According to McCubbin's Resilience Model of Family Stress, Adjustment and Adaptation, psychological resources and coping skills could be protective factors, minimizing the impact of caring for grandchildren. The present project considers two protective factors: personal strengths and emotional competences, variables that are worked on the workshops. By focusing on these aspects, not only an improvement in family relationships (grandparents-parents-grandchildren) is expected, but also an increase in the psychological well-being and quality of life of the participants. The development of intervention programs aimed at protective factors could be useful for grandparent caregivers, promoting their psychological well-being and quality of life.

The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What is the extent to which the VOCALE LBD+ intervention affects caregiving mastery scores at the end of the eight-week intervention - What is the extent to which a change in caregiving mastery scores is retained four weeks after the end of the VOCALE LBD+ intervention Participants will be asked to participate in a fully online asynchronous VOCALE LBD+ intervention that involves a moderated web-based discussion platform, peer-to-peer support, didactic training, and problem-solving skill enactment.

NCT ID: NCT04294173 Completed - Anxiety Clinical Trials

The Effect Of Video Based Teaching On Tracheostomy Skills

Start date: December 4, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of video assisted instruction on nursing students' tracheostomy care skills. The universe of the research consists of 81 students who enrolled in the Eastern Mediterranean University Faculty of Health Sciences Nursing Undergraduate Program in the fall semester of the 2019-2020 academic year and enrolled in the nursing principles course. Students who will not participate in the sample selection, agree to participate in the study voluntarily and meet the inclusion criteria, constituted the sample of the study. The research was designed on two groups, the video-based teaching method-based education (initiative) group and the demonstration (control) group. The students were divided into two randomized groups as intervention and control groups by using random numbers table. Personal Data Form, Tracheostomy Care Skill Assessment Form, Satisfaction from Training Methods and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were used to collect the data.

NCT ID: NCT04148014 Completed - Eating Disorders Clinical Trials

Emotion Regulation Group Skills Training for Eating Disorders

Start date: August 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Emotion regulation difficulties appear to play a role in the development and maintenance of several eating disorders. This pilot study aims at examining whether a short add-on group skills training in emotion regulation for young adults with different eating disorders is feasible in a psychiatric clinical setting. We also investigate if the treatment increases knowledge of emotions, and decreases self-reported difficulties with emotion regulation, alexithymia, symptoms of eating disorder, anxiety and depression, as well as clinical impairment. Six skills training groups were piloted with a total of 29 participants (M = 21.41 years, SD = 1.92). The treatment consists of five sessions dealing with psychoeducation about emotions and emotion regulation skills training. Paired samples t-test was used to compare differences between before-and-after measures.

NCT ID: NCT03191565 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Borderline Personality Disorder

Using Smartphones for Selfmonitoring of Skill-use i Dialectical Behavior Therapy

mDIARY
Start date: June 15, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

BACKGROUND: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a serious and debilitating mental disease characterized by difficulties with emotion regulation that leads to unstable and self- destructive behavior and relationships. The prevalence of BPD is between 1% and 5% in the Scandinavian population with similar prevalence rates found in US epidemiologic surveys. BPD increases the risk for suicide by 4-fold, while patients with comorbid BDP and tendency to self-harm have a further 2-fold attenuated risk. BDP is difficult to treat, and even more difficult when co-occurring with other disorders. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the best validated treatment for BPD, showing medium to large effect sizes as compared to treatment as usual for anger, parasuicidality (suicide attempts without an intention to die) and poor mental health. DBT uses self-monitoring as the mainstay of treatment, which helps patients regulate their emotions by means of emotional regulating skills, and reduce problem behavior. Self-monitoring has traditionally been done by means of daily paper diaries. The latest developments in smartphone applications have generated alternatives for ecological momentary assessments of problematic behavior that even prompt patients to practice skills targeting emotion regulation. An example of this is Monsenso's DBT self-monitoring mHealth application (mHealth means mobile health, public health supported by mobile phones). Such applications may enhance treatment success in BPD patients, as they are available to patients at all times. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the Monsenso's mHealth app with respect to clinical efficacy as an adjunct to DBT-psychotherapy treatment and utility as a way to measure outcomes in BPD patients. METHODS: The study will be a 2-year multi center, randomized controlled trial. In both conditions patients will be followed for one year. Self report data of DBT-skills-use, positive and negative affect, Standardised self report questionnaires on Emotion regulation ability; functioning; borderline symptoms. will be given pre, post and every month. The treatment arm (n=50) will receive the mHealth app that includes coaching suggestions and instructed how to use it. The control arm (n=50) will only use a pen and paper based self-monitoring, as traditionally used in DBT-treatment. STUDY ENDPOINTS: Primary: mean number of days passed per new DBT-Skill learned. Secondary: Borderline personality disorder(BPD)-symptoms, Emotion regulation ability, ratio positive/negative affect.
