Filter by:The Faculty of Translation and Interpreting of the University of Granada (UGR) has been leading the lists of the best faculties in this area in Spain and abroad for years. This has largely defined the profile of its students as high performing and, therefore, more prone to display maladaptive perfectionism which can lead to psychological distress (Rice et al 2006). However psychological distress is not something that only affects high profile students. Several studies report overall greater stress levels among undergraduate students when compared to general population levels (Ramasubramanian 2017). In fact, it is estimated that nearly 40 percent of university students experience mild to severe depressive symptoms with over 50 percent of students predicted to experience some level of depressive symptomatology during their college years (Pogrebtsova et al 2018: 46). Coping with cognitive and emotional challenges is therefore a desirable aim for every student on a daily bases. It is within this framework that CRAFTftiugr was born, a teaching innovation project, which is the result of the interaction among experts in mindfulness, lecturers and researchers in Translation and Interpreting and Experimental Psychology, students, Administrative and Support Staff and social stakeholders in the context of Higher Education. The main objective of the study is to test whether participating in a course on mindfulness-based techniques can improve students' cognitive, emotional and personal traits as well as academic performance. Together with this main purpose, the present study also aims to compare the effects of two mindfulness based programs, MBSR and CRAFT, on the students' ability to improve specific aspects of cognition, emotional intelligence, creativity or academic performance among others. Both mindfulness-based programs involve training sustained attention and an accepting and open attitude though they differ in several aspects of their methods, intention and aims. Drawing conclusions from the outcomes, a curriculum applied to Translation and Interpreting Studies will be designed aimed at preventing the development of psychological stress, perfectionism and other anxiety disorders, maximizing comfort in the Higher Education context and, ultimately, improving academic achievement.
Background: The SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused a pandemic infection called COVID-19. It is a global threat to people, communities, and health systems. Researchers are concerned about the mental health effects of the pandemic. They want to learn more about how it is affecting people s alcohol use and problems, and how it may continue to affect them over time. Objective: To study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on alcohol use and consequences in individuals across the spectrum of alcohol use and those with alcohol use disorder. Eligibility: Participants who have been screened under the NIAAA Screening, Assessment and Management Protocol (14-AA-0181) Design: Participants will complete a baseline survey by phone. It will ask about alcohol use, alcohol dependence, and stress. It covers 2 time periods: the 12 months before the pandemic started and the time since it started. Participants will get an ID code and a link to an online survey. They will complete the online survey within a week of the phone survey. Participants will complete a series of online surveys over 24 months. For the first year, surveys will be completed weekly for the first 4 weeks, then biweekly for the next 8 weeks, and then every 1-2 months for the rest of the year. For the second year, surveys will be completed every 6 months. Surveys will cover the following topics: - Alcohol use and its consequences - Other substance use - Stress - Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic - Pain - Physical health - Sleep - Quality of life. Because the course of the pandemic may change, the frequency of the surveys may change. Participation lasts 2 years.
Introduction Public Speaking Anxiety (PSA), also referred to as public speaking anxiety, is a costly (Lépine, 2002) and disabling fear (Blöte et al., 2009), with prevalence rates ranging from 21 (Pollard and Henderson, 1988) to 33% (Stein et al., 1996; D'El Rey and Pacini, 2005) in community samples. FoPS has been reported as the single most commonly feared situation in both university and community samples (Pollard and Henderson, 1988; Holt et al., 1992; Stein et al., 1996; Tillfors and Furmark, 2007).EFT is an energy psychotherapy derivative application consisting of cognitive and somatic components used to improve personal negative emotions and related emotional and physical ailments.It is reported that the most recognized and used EFT among Energy Therapies is an effective method especially on anxiety, depression, burnout, stress management, and fears (Feinstein 2008; Irmak Vural & Aslan, 2018; Sezgin, 2017; Sezgin & Özcan, 2009).Breatihin therapy is another one. Purpose of the study The current study aims to determine the effect of the Breath Therapy and Emotional Freedom Technique on public speaking anxiety in Turkish Nursing Students. The purpose of the study was to evaluate two research hypotheses as follows: H1: Emotional freedom technique is effective in reducing public speaking anxiety H2: Breath Therapy is effective in reducing public speaking anxiety A randomized controlled experimental research design will be used. The study complied with the guidelines of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) checklist. The data will be collected with demographic information form, Subjective Discomfort Unit Scale, The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Speech Anxiety Scale.demographic information form: This form contains 5 questions including the age, gender, economic status, place of residence of students in the form developed by the researchers. Subjective Units of Disturbance Scale SUDS. It was developed by Wolpe (1970). This scale, which is used in energy therapies and evaluates the individual's own discomfort, is scored between 0 and 10. 0 no discomfort 10 is considered to be unbearable discomfort (Wolpe, 1973). The individual should evaluate the discomfort he feels at that moment and give a score. This score serves as a concrete and basic starting point for the patient's condition at the time of application and reflects the change at the end of the application. According to the Church; EFT; Individuals' discomfort assessments are made using the Subjective Units of Disturbance (SUD) scale used by Wolpe (Church, 2013a). he State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI Tx-1 and Tx-2) It was developed by Spilberg et al to detect the state and trait anxiety levels of individuals. Its validity and reliability in Turkish was done by Öner and Lecompte. The scale consists of a total of 40 questions, 20 questions of state anxiety and 20 questions of constant anxiety. State anxiety scale; to state how the person feels at any time and under any circumstances; It is asked to answer taking into account the feeling related to the situation. On the scale of trait anxiety; one is often expected to interpret how he feels. There are positive and negative expressions on the scale. These statements; are expressed as plain and inverted expressions. Straight expressions, negative emotions; reversed statements reflect positive emotions. There are 8 reversed statements on the state anxiety scale and 7 on the trait anxiety scale. Items on the state anxiety scale 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19, 20, and on the trait anxiety scale 1,6,7,10,13,16,19. items are reversed statements. The emotions, thoughts and behaviors stated in the state anxiety scale are answered as 1: none, 4: completely according to the violence level of the experiences. Feelings, thoughts and behaviors stated in the trait anxiety scale are also marked as 1-almost never, 4-almost always according to the frequency level. For both scales; 0-19 points (none), 20-39 points (mild), 40-59 points (moderate), 60- 79 points (severe), 80 points and above are considered as very severe anxiety. Cronbach alpha value of the state anxiety scale was 0.93; The Cronbach alpha value of the trait anxiety scale is 0.94 (Öner, 1998). In the present study, Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.81 for the STAI Tx-1 and 0.76 for the STAI Tx-2. Speech Anxiety Scale (CUR): It was developed by Yaman and Sofu (2013) to evaluate students' speech anxiety levels. The scale consisting of 25 items is scored as 5-point Likert type and 1: strongly disagree, 4: strongly agree. In the scale, items 5, 6, 9, 10, 13 and 14 are reversed. A high score indicates that the person's anxiety to speak is high. Cronbach alpha value of the scale was found to be 0.79. In this study, Cronbach alpha value is 0.78.
The aim is to study the effect of a dietary supplement on stress and pain through questionnaires and follow-up of physiological parameters, and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) in stressed healthy subjects versus stressed healthy subjects without treatment.
The COVID-19 pandemic is profoundly changing the way people live and work. After the health impact, it is the mental and psychological impact that reaches varying degrees in the entire world population. The previous Asian epidemics have had a lasting impact on the health professionals concerned. In France, no study has yet assessed the psychological impact of this health crisis on the level of health professionals. Investigators propose to study prospectively the evolution of the state of stress and anxiety of all the professionals practicing within the gynecology-obstetrics departments of 18 French hospitals. Investigators also hypothesize that the mental repercussions in terms of stress and anxiety within the same service could be different depending on the professional status and the place of exercise (the French regions being impacted in different ways). In addition to the epidemiological interest, the results of this study may help us to target regions and professionals who will need psychological support during and after this serious health crisis.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate an association between a biological pattern of dysregulation of the HPA axis and mental disorders in children exposed to early life stress.
This study was a randomized controlled trial of an original online mental health promotion program. This study aimed to: 1) establish program effectiveness by examining symptom change between conditions and 2) examine predictors of symptom change. The program was previously tested in open trial feasibility study by the same Principal Investigator and has since been rebuilt as informed by feasibility findings and participant qualitative feedback. Participants were randomly assigned to either a waitlist condition or eight weeks of the intervention condition. Baseline, posttest, and follow-up electronic surveys collected self-reported symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. Motivational variables were also assessed at baseline and then tested as moderators of intervention effects.
Psychological distress is a significant problem for healthcare professionals and students in training. The investigator question the prevalence of this problem in French residents in anaesthesia and intensive care training.
The intense health crisis due to COVID-19 led to a profound reorganization of the activities at theatres, recovery rooms and the intensive care units. The caregivers are facing several issues and are daily exposed to an intensification of the work. Assessing the stress and the well-being of the caregivers is very important in this context.
The Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia makes several changes in daily living. The Indonesian government suggests that everyone should stay at home by implements the work from home and school from home. Therefore, the issues related with Covid-19 are also worrying such as death because of the infection, virus transmission, doing everything from home such as Friday praying for Moslem, Sunday service at home, etc. People is anxious whenever meeting people because they are not really understand whether people is infected or not. Therefore, this study tries to identify the impact of Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia towards mental well-being of the community.
