Filter by:Grip&Health: randomised trial which will examine the effect of theory-based multicomponent behavioural intervention for reducing stress, smoking and improving financial health and perceived health of low-SES residents in Rotterdam. Between January 2018 and July 2018, a total of 300 participants will be recruited and randomised either to a stress management program (SM), stress management with a buddy program (SM-B) or a control condition. The investigators hypothesise that compared to participants in the control condition, participants in the intervention arms will demonstrate reduced stress, reduced smoking and improved financial health and perceived health.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory rheumatic disease that can lead to structural damage and handicap. The RA physiopathology is multifactorial, including genetic and environmental risk factors. The identification of environmental factors implication is crucial to understand the RA mechanism, and improves the diagnosis and the treatment of the disease.
The aim of this study is to test the effects of a digital meditation intervention in a sample UCSF employees who report mild to moderate stress. We will randomize UCSF employees to either 8-weeks of a digital meditation intervention (using the commercially available application Headspace) or a waitlist control condition.
This prospective controlled study aims to test a 5 week group hypnosis training as intervention to improve coping with perceived psychological stress.
The current study examines the impact of ParentCorps in high-poverty Early Education Centers in New York City (NYC). The study is conducted within the context of the NYC Department of Education (DOE) Pre-K Thrive initiative. As part of this initiative, the Center for Early Childhood Health and Development (CEHD) at NYU Langone Health is implementing services to strengthen family engagement and support parents and teachers in building safe, nurturing and predictable environments for young children. Services include resources to support social emotional learning (SEL) and family engagement (FE) for all Pre-K for All (PKFA) programs and all PKFA families; Professional Learning to support the use of evidence-based SEL and FE practices for teachers and leaders from 350 PKFA programs; and ParentCorps programs for PKFA children and families in 50 PKFA programs (which is a subset of PKFA programs receiving Professional Learning). The current study evaluates the relative value of Thrive Professional Learning plus ParentCorps compared to Thrive Professional Learning. This study will include 158 pre-K teachers (teachers and teaching assistants) across 23 Centers (12 Centers receiving Thrive Professional Learning plus ParentCorps, 11 Centers receiving Thrive Professional Learning only). All teachers in the 23 Centers will be invited to complete 2 self-report surveys over a two-year period. A sub-set of teachers will be randomly selected to participate in 2 interviews during this period. In addition, teachers in sites randomized to ParentCorps (12 Centers) will be invited to consent to the use of weekly implementation surveys, observational data and semi-structured interviews about experiences with implementation, collected as part of standard implementation practice of ParentCorps, for the purposes of this study.
After completion of 5 years of medical school training, the next step of becoming a House Officer is said to be associated with high levels of stress. It has been associated with mental health problems amongst HOs and sometimes quitting the medical line altogether. In Malaysia, the number of HOs not completing housemanship training within the allocated time is slowly declining from 86.4% (2009) to 58.8% (2012). The dropout rate is said to be increasing yearly. This causes a lot of constraints on the HO, their family, sponsors, patients and also the country. Amongst the reason for stress is the feeling of incompetency or "fear of making mistakes". Other work-related issues include workload, time management, financial, colleague and superior related issues. Medicorp is a company that specializes in training for junior doctors and has come up with a module to help medical graduates cope with these issues. The module is a 3-day-course named the HO Preparatory Course. It was initially the brainchild of the Islamic Medical Association of Malaysia (IMAM) but was later privatized to accommodate the demand and the running of the module and courses. The module has been re-evaluated through feedback of participants and trainers to cater to the needs and wants of the newly graduate; be it local or overseas. Therefore, the investigators would like to assess whether this intervention module is effective in addressing HO stress, therefore consequently reduce the risk of drop out and extension in HO training.
Patients in the study will be grouped as 1st group Propofol, 2nd Group Sevofluran.Preoperative blood will be taken from the patients and cortisol, acth, glucagon, aldosterone, PGE2, CRH will be studied. During the operation, the patient's systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation will be followed. Analgesia will be provided according to the body movements of the patient and VAS measurement will be performed. The patient's pain will be assessed by the VAS (Visuel Analogue Scale) scoring system and during the first hour postoperatively after the patient's consciousness is complete . Hormones such as cortisol, acth, glucagon, aldosterone, PGE2, CRH will be studied biochemically in the follicular fluid and blood of the patient postoperatively. The aim of in the study is to compare the effect of propofol and sevoflurane routinely applied in IVF centers on postoperative pain scores and stress hormones in blood and follicular fluid in a painful and stressful application of egg collection
Caregivers suffer great amounts of distress that significantly impacts their mental and physical well-being, yet caregivers' access to quality, evidence-based care is currently very limited. The public health significance of the proposed study is that our internet and mobile-based web intervention will (1) significantly reduce caregiver distress and improve caregivers' overall well-being, and (2) dramatically increase caregivers' access to high quality, evidence-based care at relatively low cost.
The aim of this study is to assess whether a 5 week intake of a probiotic (Lpc-37) can modulate stress and anxiety experienced by healthy subjects during and after an acute stressor compared to placebo. To measure stress and anxiety, markers of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity and questionnaires will be assessed before, during and after the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST). The results of this study indicate if the chosen study design is suitable to discover stress-related effects of probiotics.
In a sample of 120 officers from Dane County law enforcement agencies, the investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial of an 8-week mindfulness-based training program for police officers, Madison Mindfulness-Based Resilience Training (mMBRT), and investigating the impact of this training on subjective responses to stress, stress-related psychological and physical health outcomes, and biological and behavioral correlates of perceived stress. While the benefits of mindfulness-based interventions have been documented in a variety of populations, this will be the largest and most comprehensive study of its kind of law enforcement personnel. In addition to self-report measures, this study assesses an array of objective biological and behavioral outcomes both in the laboratory and in the field that may speak to mechanisms of change involved in symptom reduction.
