Filter by:There is a lack of sufficient analgesia monitoring apart from surrogate parameters. The analgesia nociception index (ANI) shall be evaluated under general and regional anaesthesia.
The aim of this trial is a first evaluation of the effectiveness of yoga as alternative for school sports to evaluate potential effects in stress reduction and concomitant psychological parameters.
A newly developed intervention, Mindfulness Based Practices for Health Care Professionals in Training: Clinical Applications, will be piloted to determine the feasibility, acceptability, accessibility, and preliminary effects within this population.
This study aims to investigate the effects of an early intervention (joint observation and video feedback) on maternal parenting self-efficacy following a premature birth. Mothers who have given birth to a very premature baby will be randomly allocated to either the early intervention or usual care whilst the infant is still hospitalized. Participants will be followed up at one month and six months. It is predicted that participants who received the early intervention will report higher maternal parenting self-efficacy than those who are not.
Our goal is to improve the self-management of pain and stress in adult outpatients with sickle cell disease (SCD) by determining the feasibility of a self-managed guided relaxation (GR) stress reduction intervention using a tablet-based mobile device. Currently, opioid analgesics are primarily used to treat SCD pain while self-managed behavioral modalities such as GR, are rarely used. Little is known about the effects or mechanisms of GR on pain and stress, in adults with SCD. Emerging evidence from the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis theory offer insights for understanding the mechanisms. Adding GR as a supplement to analgesic therapies will address the paucity of self-management strategies for controlling pain in SCD. GR is a simple and cost-effective non-drug intervention that could reduce pain and stress in outpatients with SCD. GR is an intervention where outpatients with SCD are directed to listen to and view audio-visual recordings while they visualize themselves being immersed in that scene.
The Endotracheal intubation (ETI) of a neonate is a procedure that usually attracts a large number of observers. The fear of being judged by others could cause an increased level of stress, especially on the junior trainees. Little research has focused on the effect of the audience on the level of stress and therefore, on the success rate of complicated procedures in neonatal intensive care. Hypothesis:Investigators hypothesize that time to successful intubation (in seconds) will be longer with the presence of observers.
The investigators have partnered with financial coaching organizations to establish what the investigators have termed a "Medical-Financial Partnership (MFP)" that offers financial coaching to improve financial and mental health. The investigators will evaluate the MFP's impact on family economic strain and parental stress.
Stress is an important determinant of pregnancy health behaviors, maternal physiology and maternal-infant health outcomes. The purpose of this study is to explain the relationship between dimensions of lifetime stress and the stress hormone cortisol in pregnant women. Additionally, the study will examine how coping styles help pregnant women to better manage stress and improve their health behaviors to achieve the goal of having a healthy baby.
Will the intervention (Heart SMART program) be feasible in moderate or high stress patients, who are referred to the Women's Heart and Preventive Cardiology clinics at Mayo Clinic?
This protocol proposes a well-being program based in stress reduction program for employees of a company. objectives: To evaluate the effects of a stress reduction program with a specific orientation for workers and taught to them within their companies. Methods: Participants with stress complaints were recruited and randomized into two groups: group 1 (G1) received the intervention while group 2 (G2) did not. Both groups were evaluated before the intervention (time 1 - T1); again after the eight weeks of the program for G1 (time 2 - T2); and then at the end of a second eight-week period during which G2 received the intervention and G1 was simply instructed to maintain the practice they had learned without further instruction (time 3- T3).
