Filter by:The purpose of this study is to preliminarily evaluate a web-based app to improve provider implementation and patient engagement in homework (i.e., between-session practice of skills learned during therapy) during child mental health treatment by conducting a small-scale feasibility trial in community practice settings comparing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to CBT enhanced with the app.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of propranolol in blocking reconsolidation by reducing PTSD symptoms in the short and long term in adolescents with PTSD for more than 3 months.
This study will evaluate and describe the occurrence of Acute traumatic stress and persistence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after resuscitated sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patient and relatives present during the event. The population will be composed of 40 patients: 20 with resuscitated SCD and 20 relatives. Two interviews will be performed by a psychologist within one week after resuscitated SCD and at month 3. Questionnaire Stanford Acute Stress Reaction Questionnaire (SASRQ), Life Events Checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) (LEC-5) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) will be filled during these interviews.
The aim of this study is to assess if an early therapeutic management focused on the mother-baby interaction using Interaction Guidance Therapy (IGT) with video feedback, brings an improvement of the maternal sensitivity in the interaction but also a decrease of the post-traumatic maternal symptoms. Post Natal Post traumatic stress is known as a disorder that impaired maternal mental health but also development of motherhood and the construction of the bond to the baby through interactive disturbances. The investigators will screen, among women who had a traumatic perception of an event related to the pregnancy or the childbirth, those who still present posttraumatic stress symptoms at 4 weeks post-partum. Four weeks from the traumatic event is the minimum delay to qualify a PTSD. After randomization IGT versus Treatment As Usual (TAU), the investigators planned an early therapeutic intervention, 3 sessions at 8, 10 and 12 weeks of post-partum. The investigators will assess the effect of the IGT on Maternal sensitivity and on the intensity of post-traumatic stress symptoms at 3 month post-partum and 1year.
Promising results of an early EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) intervention on PCLS (PostConcussion-Like Syndrome) at three months have been shown, suggesting that the availability of psychological care in emergency departments will be useful. The real impact of such a care service remains to be measured. Several factors may modulate the impact of such a measure, leaving the extent of its public health benefit uncertain. In the SOFTER III trial, the results suggest that high levels of self-rated stress at admission probably play a key role in the development of CPSP and psychological intervention. The most appropriate study design for such an objective is to follow a cohort of patients in the Emergency Department and to assess the main risk factors for CPSD 4 months later. To this end, all consecutive patients should be asked to participate in a study and complete a risk factor questionnaire, regardless of their level of risk for CPSD. SOFTER IV offers the opportunity to evaluate the impact of a psychological intervention to reduce the incidence of chronic pain. By acting on the emotions experienced in the Emergency Department, a reduction in acute pain and perhaps in the longer term in chronic pain can be expected. Its psychological aspects, and more specifically the emotional dimension, are known to be related to acute pain. As for the relationship with chronic pain, it exists, but its meaning is not clear because the emotional state is assessed when the pain has already become chronic. It is proposed to integrate the assessment of emotions at inclusion in the project, and to follow up patients 12 months after inclusion to assess the incidence of chronic pain and identify the factors that modulate it. Early intervention in the emergency department, including an early short one-hour EMDR intervention R-TEP (Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol), could thus reduce the incidence of chronic pain.
Nursing home staff face multiple stresses during the Covid-19 pandemic including personal risk of infection, risk of transmission of the virus to residents and relatives, and risk of witnessing end-of-life scenarios under difficult contexts (absence of families). The hypothesis of this study is that the Covid-19 period is associated with an incidence of more than 30% of post-traumatic stress in nursing home staff.
The proposed project aims to test the cognitive and neural effects of a cognitive training in a sample of individuals seeking treatment for anxiety, depression, or traumatic stress symptoms. Participants will be randomly assigned to a high dose, low dose, or assessment only condition. Participants will be compared on cognitive performance and brain response during cognitive tasks from baseline to post-treatment.
On 29 December 2020, an earthquake struck Petrinja in Croatia. The aim of this study is to assesses prevalence of symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and panic disorder among exposed inhabitants and examine the effect of family therapy on mental health as part of a public health emergency response and rapid assessment.
Effectiveness of trauma therapy using prolonged exposure for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in patients with comorbid psychotic disorder
The overarching goal of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of Mindful Attention Training (MAT), a novel mindfulness-based intervention that is specifically developed for firefighters. This project is designed to improve the health of firefighters, an integral, essential component of our national and international communities. Moreover, the study aims to promote health service psychologists by enhancing our contributions to the mental healthcare of firefighters, an understudied and underserved segment of the population by virtue of their service to our communities. This study therefore has significant potential to identify, develop, and promote an effective model of quality, evidence-based mental health promotion and illness prevention by integrating health service psychology into the fire service.
