Filter by:The purpose of this study is to verify the effectiveness of mobile video counseling for workers. Subjects who can participate in the screening evaluation are assigned to one of face-to-face counseling group, mobile counseling group, and self-treatment group. The mobile counseling group and the face-to-face counseling group counseld with a total of 4 times, 50 minutes at a time, once a week, and the self-treatment group provides self-education by providing the stress education kit.
This study evaluates the influence of a resilience training on psychobiological factors which are related to stress and resilience in young healthy male cadets. Half of participants will join in the resilience training, while the other half take part in a control-training (diversity management training).
Clerkship causes significant stress to medical students. Some interventions to increase well-being have been described but none have been studied prospectively in this context. The primary objective of this study is to examine the effects of gratitude journaling on medical clerks' perceived well-being. Students will be randomised to one of two groups: gratitude journaling or no intervention. The participants of the experimental group will be asked to complete an online gratitude journal 3 times per week and will be compared to the participants in the control group. The students in both groups will answer a standardised questionnaire evaluating well-being before and after their surgical rotation. Those randomised to the intervention group will perform gratitude journaling three times a week during their surgical rotation. This activity consists of writing something that made them feel happy during their day. Those randomised in the control group (no intervention) will proceed with their normal rotation, without additional gratitude journaling. The main outcome will be evaluated by comparing the well-being at the end of the surgical rotation as evaluated by a composite well-being assessment scale between both groups.
Previous research has shown that health professionals can experience stress responses during high acuity events such as trauma resuscitations. These stress responses can lead to impaired clinical performance. The goal of this proposed project is to adapt Stress Inoculation Training (SIT) to the healthcare setting. Stress Inoculation Training is a cognitive-behavioural approach to stress management that has proven effective in reducing stress and improving performance in domains outside of healthcare. Thirty-two emergency medicine residents will be randomly divided into two groups. The SIT group will receive the simulation-based stress inoculation training. We will measure the effectiveness of the training by looking at reduction of stress levels and improvements in clinical performance in a pre-intervention and a post-intervention simulated trauma scenario. The control group will be exposed to the same simulation scenarios and pre/post intervention scenarios as the SIT group, but will not receive the stress inoculation training.
Participants were able to use the application the investigators developed for four weeks. With the application, the participants were able to monitor their stress level and life style patterns. The participants were also provided personalized stress management techniques including psychoeducation and cognitive behavioral technique. In 2014, additional relaxation techniques—abdominal breathing, progressive muscular relaxation, and meditation—were incorporated. Participants' mental health status and life style patterns were evaluated at baseline and at 4 weeks. Pre- and post-intervention statuses were compared after adjusting for degrees of life stress factors. Brief encounter psychosocial instrument (BEPSI-K) score and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) score were used as primary outcome measures.
Preprocedural, preoperative, and prevascular access anxiety in pediatric patients has been previously shown to increase the likelihood of family stressors, postoperative pain, agitation, sleep disturbances, and negative behavioral changes. The purpose of this study is to determine if a non-invasive distracting devices (Virtual Reality headset) is more effective than the standard of care (i.e., no technology based distraction) for preventing anxiety before vascular access among hospitalized children undergoing vascular access prior to anesthesia, procedures, surgery, blood draws, port access, or peripheral IV placement. The anticipated primary outcome will be reduction of child's anxiety during and after vascular access.
A health education program was provided to higher education students aged between 18 and 25 years. Students were recruited either by posters and leaflets on campus, or during their mandatory medical survey at the University Medical Department. The objectives are to assess health behavior risk among college student : e.g eating disorders, binge drinking, electronic cigarettes and also stress, burnout
This study explores lumbar puncture operators stress associated with their performance of the procedure, across three experience levels: Experts, Intermediates, and Novices. The study will investigate the association of this potential stress to patient experienced stress and patient related outcomes of the lumbar puncture procedure.
The purpose of this study is to explore the differences between stress, depression, childbirth self-efficacy, mindfulness and postnatal maternal outcomes in pregnant women with Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting education program.
This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and there will be two groups: an intervention group and a control group. Nurse practitioners (NPs) across Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) who agree to participate will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The NPs in the intervention group will be asked to screen about 30 individuals aged 40-74 years without established cardiovascular disease (CVD) that currently come to their clinics. The NPs will be asked to screen these patients for CVD using a set of specific data collection tools that will be in electronic format. The control group will carry on with usual practice. Their charts will be reviewed by the researchers at a later date. At the end of the study, the screening program, with tools and strategies for CVD screening, will be given to NPs in the control group.
