Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of two community based interventions for parents of adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) who are requesting services. The two interventions will include: 1. Support and Information Intervention - provides parents with support and information about services for their sons and daughters 2. Mindfulness Intervention - empowers parents through teaching them mindfulness skills We hypothesize that: 1. Parents in both types of interventions will report benefits (reductions in psychological distress) maintained at follow-up. 2. Parents in mindfulness intervention group will report improvements in mindful parenting, self compassion, positive gain, empowerment, and reduced burden. Parents in support and information intervention group will report improvements in empowerment, positive gain, and reduced burden. 3. Parents in mindfulness intervention group will show greater improvements by 3 months follow-up than parents in the support and information group.
The purpose of the present prospective study is the analysis of risk and protective factors of perinatal stress and psychological distress of parents with or without a preterm child. Stress is measured biologically by Cortisol levels and psychologically by a questionnaire.

General anesthesia can be considered as a combination of hypnosis, antinociception and immobility. Explore the effect of three kinds of anesthesia,that is the total intravenous anesthesia, inhalation anesthesia and inhalation and intravenous anesthesia on stress reactions generated by patients with diabetes conducted gastric - bypass surgery , and choose a best way from three kinds of anesthesia to control stress reaction of diabetics. After selecting the appropriate anesthesia method, assess the effect of dexmedetomidine on controlling stress response from diabetics undergoing laparoscopic gastric-bypass surgical.
The purpose of this research study is to examine whether a stress reduction intervention can improve health, mood and biological markers of cellular stress and aging in a group of chronically-stressed maternal caregivers and healthy maternal controls.
Family caregivers are vulnerable to health problems because of the stress and demands of their role as a caregiver. With the growing incidence of heart failure (HF) and the anticipated growth in the aging population, the number of HF caregivers is expected to rise. This study will pilot test a cognitive behavioral intervention designed to reduce stress among HF caregivers, which will ultimately contribute to promoting health and quality of life among HF caregivers and their loved ones with HF.
The purpose of this study is to determine the potential efficacy of real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback (RT- functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) -NF) in regulating brain activity and psychophysiological functions.
The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of intervention based on mindfulness and acceptance-commitment therapy (ACT) in the recovery from job burnout. The 8-week intervention is delivered using jointly face-to-face group meetings and web-based program. The study hypothesizes that the Muupu-program is more effective than the normal practices when promoting work well-being in Finland. The participants are recruited from Finland.
In this study the investigators plan to recruit 70 patients reporting high levels of stress to test the impact of Positive Affect Journaling. Patients randomized to use the online intervention will be asked to journal about one of seven topics, several days each week, for three months. The topics (e.g., "What went well") are designed to help the individual focus on some positive aspect of their life or themselves over the past day. Each topic is based on prompts shown to be effective in studies of up to one week in duration. In the summer of 2012, our research team pilot tested each prompt with 20 patients with high levels of anxiety, which led to important changes to the prompts, to increase their potential impact. The main aim is to understand the impact of Positive Affect Journaling on psychological distress, as measured by the National Health Interview Survey.

The purpose of this research study is to examine whether a short term meditation intervention can improve health, mood, and biological markers of cellular stress and aging in novice and experienced meditators compared to controls.
