Filter by:Recovery Resource Council (RRC) is one of the largest and most comprehensive non-profit mental and behavioral healthcare providers in North Texas. Accredited by the Joint Commission in Behavioral Health and licensed by the State of Texas as an Outpatient Treatment Center, RRC strives to promote wellness and recovery through a variety of services and programming. An important component of RRC programming is providing free counseling services to hundreds of U.S. veterans annually. While RRC observes great success for veterans who complete counseling, attendance can be a major obstacle. Veterans who approach RRC for individual counseling services and consent to participate will be randomly assigned to the treatment or control group. The control group will receive counseling as usual. The treatment group will receive $500 gift card payments upon completing their 6th, 12th, and 18th counseling sessions, i.e., $1,500 in gift cards for completing all 18 sessions, the usual prescribed length of therapy. Our primary focus is to examine the impact of the financial incentives on therapy attendance and attrition. In addition, the investigators will estimate the impact on mental health using mental health inventories collected over the course of therapy sessions.
The current study is designed to measure the role of cognitive behavior therapy with PTSD patients. There are following objectives of this current study, such as 1. To examine the efficacy of CBT to overcome the severity level of PTSD and associated psychiatric problems. 2. To change negative thought patterns and dysfunctional cognition into functional thoughts and beliefs. 3. To build up social support, enhance the quality of life and refine mental health among patients with PTSD. 4. To check outs the association of PTSD with depression, intimate partner violence stigma, marital adjustment, and abuse. 5. This study would examine the efficacy of CBT to treat the severity of PTSD and associated problems (i.e. depressive symptoms, adjustment problems & discrimination) among women victims of domestic violence in shelter homes
This is a prospective, home-based, interventional clinical study in which 6 subjects will be enrolled. Six (6) subjects who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder will receive treatment using the NeuroGlove.
Aquatic physiotherapy in warm water pool (AP) is thought to be a helpful treatment for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A 40-week program can provide an opportunity to achieve positive results. Potentiel effects of AP for veterans with PTSD: Relaxation and stress reduction, anxiety and mood regulation, body awareness and grounding, strength and flexibility and social interactions and camaraderie.
Better Together Physician Coaching ("Better Together", or "BT"), a 4-month, web-based positive psychology multimodal coaching program was built to decrease burnout in medical trainees. Here, the investigators seek to understand it's efficacy in University of Colorado School of Medicine (CU SOM) clinicians Aim 1: Implement Better Together in University of Colorado School of Medicine clinicians Aim 2: Assess outcomes: primary: reduce burnout as measured by the Maslach Burnout Index (goal: 10% relative improvement), and secondary: self-compassion, imposter syndrome, flourishing, loneliness, and moral injury. Aim 3: Advance the field of coaching for clinicians through innovation and dissemination of evidence-based approaches to clinician wellbeing.
After a traumatic event, it is common for thoughts to run through our minds over and over again. Typically, these include unanswerable questions like "why did this happen to me?", "what if I had done something differently?" Dwelling or ruminating on the past like this is often unhelpful and research has shown that it increases our chances of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a debilitating stress reaction. Once PTSD is in place, research shows that ruminating keeps the disorder going. It is unknown to what extent targeting rumination with an intervention to reduce its recurrence may help to alleviate PTSD symptoms. While rumination interventions using evidence-based cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) have shown highly promising results in depression and anxiety research, no previous study has evaluated a stand-alone rumination intervention for individuals with PTSD. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of a one-session online Rumination Intervention designed to reduce rumination in a small sample of 14 individuals who are currently awaiting treatment for PTSD in a British national mental health (NHS) service. The study will explore whether the Rumination Intervention reduces PTSD-related rumination, as well as PTSD and depression symptoms. It will also investigate how feasible and acceptable the intervention is for participants. If the findings are promising, the intervention could be tested in a larger clinical study in the future. Results may help inform online interventions for PTSD.
Public safety personnel (PSP; e.g., border services personnel, correctional workers, firefighters, paramedics, police, public safety communicators) are frequently exposed to potentially psychologically traumatic events. Such events contribute to substantial and growing challenges from posttraumatic stress injuries (PTSIs), including but not limited to posttraumatic stress disorder. The PSP PTSI Study has been designed to evaluate an evidence-informed, proactive system of mental health assessment and training among Royal Canadian Mounted Police (www.rcmpstudy.ca) for delivery among diverse PSP (i.e., firefighters, municipal police, paramedics, public safety communicators). The training is based on the Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders, adapted for PSP, and named Emotional Resilience Skills Training (ERST). The subsequent PSP PTSI Study results are expected to benefit the mental health of all participants and, ultimately, all PSP.
The purpose of this project is to scale implementation and evaluation of an m-health app designed to promote early intervention and mental health support for frontline healthcare workers to reduce their risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or the mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond Silence has received an additional year of funding to scale implementation across 4-6 additional healthcare organizations.
The aim of the present research is to set up a large multicentric, prospective cohort of family members of patients admitted to intensive care. The data collected will concern the patients and their family members, the caregivers and the functioning of the services during the collection period. This cohort will allow: 1. to carry out a quantitative evaluation of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a large number of family members, to determine the risk factors in relation to the characteristics of the family members, and to define a predictive model of PTSD in this population 2. to determine the factors related to the operating conditions of the resuscitation services that favor the occurrence of PTSD in the family members, 3. to create a biological bank from blood samples taken from family members, 4. to carry out a qualitative study allowing a psychological and sociological analysis of the experience of the family members concerning the hospitalization in intensive care of their loved one.
A prospective cohort study design will be implemented across four sectors and multiple organizations sites to evaluate implementation and impact of the apps. Pre/post impact data will be collected over a six-month implementation period to assess whether the apps lead to increased Public Safety Personnel outreach to peer support (primary outcome), and to increased mental health literacy, and decreased mental distress (secondary outcomes). Recruitment will take place at three levels; 1) organizations (including knowledge users/organization champions), 2) peer support providers, and 3) public safety personnel employed within each participating organization. Sources of implementation and impact data for the six-month trial will include: 1) app utilization data, 2) knowledge user/organization champion interviews, 3) surveys with public safety personnel, 4) focus groups with peer support providers, and 5) implementation costs. Analysis will focus on both implementation and effectiveness to address the research questions related to the impact of the apps, as well as how the process and context of implementation shapes effectiveness.
