Filter by:This study aims to investigate the feasibility and the potential efficacy of using Xbox 360 Kinect game among healthcare undergraduate students. Thirty-six participants will be recruited and randomly allocated into the intervention and control group. The session will be 30 minutes per session for three times per week. Two outcome measures will be used at pre and post intervention.
This research investigated the effects of a mindfulness meditation mobile application (i.e., Calm College) on reducing stress in undergraduate college students with moderate, high, or extreme levels of stress as compared to a delayed intervention group.
Caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) report higher levels of depression and distress than caregivers of typically developing children as well as children with other developmental disabilities. The proposed work tests a novel treatment paradigm that blends Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) with an empirically supported and manualized parent training program (Parent-Implemented Early Start Denver Model [P-ESDM]). We hypothesize that directly treating parental distress, while simultaneously providing evidence-based parent training, may greatly enhance child-focused intervention and provide benefits that resonate across the family.
Burnout is a public health issue. Healthcare workers are particularly at risk of burnout with occupational stress identified as the major risk factor. The "Health Work Environment" service is composed of physicians, nurses and psychologist with the aim of providing efficient and adapted care for healthcare workers at CHU of Clermont-Ferrand. In addition, they must ensure a role of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. With regard to burnout, the majority of the work carried out concerns tertiary prevention, that is to say the care of a person in a situation of burnout. It would be necessary to carry out secondary prevention in order that people at risk of burnout can be detected earlier. However, there is currently no individual questionnaire to detect early burnout
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate an innovative 8-wk stress reduction program called Resilience, Stress and Ethnicity (RiSE) program designed to reduce chronic stress associated with perceived discrimination among African Americans. African Americans residing in the Maywood community between the ages of 25 and 75 with at least one cardiovascular disease risk factor such as being overweight, having high blood pressure, or diabetes will be enrolled. The following specific aims will be addressed: Aim 1: Determine the feasibility and acceptability of the program as a strategy to reduce chronic stress in African Americans within the Maywood and surrounding community. Aim 2: Examine the extent to which training in RiSE (1) improves psychological well being, (2) decreases inflammatory burden, and (3) reduces cardiovascular risk in African Americans Participants will be randomized to either the RiSE program or the control (no intervention group). Participants will provide blood and saliva samples as well as complete written questionnaires asking them questions about their health, well-being, and early life at the start of the study, half way through the study (at 4 weeks), at the completion of the intervention (8 weeks) and 3 months after the completion of the intervention).
This study investigates the impact of a mindful parenting intervention on parents of children with psoriasis or eczema. More specifically, this study will investigate the impact of the group on both the child and the parents mental health and quality of life.
This study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of Learning to BREATHE (a mindfulness intervention for adolescents) plus an ecological momentary intervention (Learning to Breathe Plus), and will examine the extent to which mindfulness reduces dysregulated stress physiology, perceived stress, and anxiety in adolescents from high conflict homes.
In October, 2017, Northern California experienced devastating and historic wildfires. Sonoma Rises is an app designed for anyone who was impacted by this event and is intended to help survivors of disaster find their new normal. This study will assess the feasibility and efficacy of a self-help post-disaster mental health intervention delivered via a mobile app with a sample of teens who are experiencing post-disaster mental health symptoms.
The primary objective of this trial is to study the feasibility of a resilience intervention to reduce stress and thus improve sleep, healthy diet and physical activity in normal weight pregnant women. Initially, an exploratory study of stressors and worrying in pregnant women will be done by use of qualitative methods (focus group interviews) followed by a randomised controlled feasibility trial with a parallel qualitative process evaluation. This project is expected to improve the understanding of the processes and feasibility of conducting a randomized intervention study to examine if improvements in chronic stress and poor sleep during pregnancy improves early weight gain and childhood risk of obesity.
The goal of the current study is to determine if participating in a therapy dog activity is associated with changes in perceived stress, mood, and job satisfaction and commitment. A secondary goal is to explore a potential dose effect of multiple treatments as well as control for novelty effect.
