Filter by:The purpose of this study is to see how stress influences the effects of opioid pain medications often used to help relieve back pain. The study will help to learn more about how high stress levels could increase risk for pain medication misuse.
This study aims to assess the impact of brief digitally delivered breathing practice and guided meditation on post-Covid physical and mental symptoms in Long Covid Patients.
Test the acceptability and feasibility of a relaxation room to reduce work stress among clinicians and collect clinician-reported outcome data after using the relaxation room.
The purpose of the current protocol is to describe a cluster randomized feasibility trial examining the integration of a scalable stress management intervention into Entre Nosotras ('among/between us'), a community-based psychosocial intervention for migrant and host community women in Ecuador and Panamá. Specifically the study aims to: 1. Explore the relevance, acceptability, and feasibility of integrating a stress management intervention into community-based participatory women's group 2. Examine the feasibility of conducting a fully-powered cluster randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness and implementation of integrating a stress management intervention into a community-based participatory women's group as compared to community-based participatory women's groups alone.
The aim of this study is to test the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of methods for delivering mental health support when real-time communication is not possible (e.g. on long duration space flights where communication lags of up to 45 minutes are anticipated). The investigators hypothesize that the two enhanced treatment conditions (i.e., those with therapist support) will outperform the online self-management program without support. The investigators also predict that outcomes for the two enhanced conditions will be comparable to those reported in the literature for in-person psychotherapy programs.
Obesity is a major public health problem related to a variety of illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes. Prior research indicates that social stressors contribute to risk for obesity, possibly through alterations in diet and physical activity. However, it is not fully clear how these alterations contribute to obesity. The purpose of this study is to examine how the stressors of social isolation and discrimination relate to eating behaviors and dietary patterns, and further, how these behaviors affect the brain-gut-microbiome (BGM) connections. This study will focus on Mexican and Filipina women because research shows that they encounter a high burden of obesity and exposure to social stressors. Approximately 300 Mexican and Filipina women will be screened and enrolled. They will then provide information about social stressors via food diaries, physical body measures (e.g. waist circumference), questionnaire data regarding diet and eating behaviors, and measures of physical activity. Stool and serum will be collected to analyze microbes and metabolomics, and MRI to assess brain changes in the reward network. Analytic techniques will be used to integrate data from these multiple data sources. This analysis will determine the unique differences associated with ethnicity and social stressors in moderating eating behaviors and dietary patterns. The results of this study will provide new information about a possible pathway whereby social stressors affect behavioral, neurological and microbiome mechanisms related to obesity risk and provide new information in BGM patterns in two understudied ethnic groups. In the long term, this research may suggest possible approaches for intervention that may help reduce inequalities in obesity and related health problems.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential for inhalation of plant-based aromas to reduce stress and burnout among healthcare professionals and staff in hospitals and urgent care centers.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect that uninstalling work email applications from mobile devices during leisure time has on health care worker stress levels.
Purpose: This research was planned to determine the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction program on reducing the stress level and emotion regulation of nursing students. Design: The research was planned as a pretest, posttest, follow-up and randomized controlled study in order to determine the effect of the mindfulness-based stress reduction program on the stress level and emotion regulation of nursing students. Hypotheses: H1: The perceived stress level scores of nursing students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction program will decrease compared to the nursing students in the control group. H2: The perceived stress level of the nursing students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction program will decrease according to their pretest scores. H3: Emotion regulation strategies of nursing students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction program will differ from the nursing students in the control group. H4: The posttest and follow-up emotion regulation strategies of nursing students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction program will differ from the pretest.
The aim of the study was to assess the effect of intraoperative oxygen (O2), which was applied at 30% and 50% concentrations on patients who had undergone septoplasty surgery, on Total Oxidant Status (TOS), Total Antioxidant Status (TAS), and Oxidative Stress Index (OSI).
