It is inevitable that nearly both anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetist take a zero tolerance approach to avoidable safety problems in the provision of anesthesia. We would like to study the stress upon anesthesia personnel by using Suanprung Stress Test (SST) - a well-documented, psychological stress test, and Siriraj Anesthesia-related Stress Test (SAST) - a new developed open-ended opinion poll, to scrutinize the daily rounds stress and yield the solution to eradicate or alleviate those worries as well as improve both physical and mental health to handle the situation of difficulties.

Background: - Stem cell transplants are a complex treatment that can have serious side effects. Having a caregiver to help with the recovery is critical. Serving in this role, however, can cause high stress levels and negative health effects. Researchers want to better understand the health effects of caring for a family member or friend after a stem cell transplant. Understanding these effects can help develop programs that support caregivers coping with the demands of post-transplant care. Objectives: - To study the physical and emotional health of caregivers for a family member or friend who has had a stem cell transplant. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who are planning to be a caregiver for a person having a stem cell transplant. - Healthy non-caregiver volunteers for comparison studies. Design: - A caregiver will be caring for a transplant recipient just before transplant admission and up through 6 weeks after hospital discharge. The caregiver will usually live with or spend at least 6 hours each day with the recipient. - All participants will have three study visits. The first visit will happen before the transplant. The second and third visits will happen at the recipient s discharge, and 6 weeks after discharge. The following tests will be done at each visit: - A health assessment with a physical exam and review of life events and current health problems - Blood, hair, and saliva samples - Questionnaires about stress levels, personal health, and the caregiving process. - Caregiver participants may have an optional fourth study visit within 72 hours after an ICU admission. This visit will include the same tests as the other visits....

The investigators aim to pilot test the efficacy of a yoga intervention designed specifically for individuals with ocular hypertension. The investigators would like to find out if a combination of breathing, postures and meditation may help to reduce intraocular pressure in the short term after each yoga session, and also long-term across an 8-week program. Subjects will participate in the yoga intervention sessions led by Dr. Pamela Jeter once a week at the investigators center, and will be asked to practice at home at least twice a week using a audio CD.
The purpose of this study is to describe the onset, duration and dose-response of interpersonal mindful compassion on respiratory rate and heart rate variability in healthy adults in order to prepare for research evaluating the impact of this intervention in patient populations and to prepare for basic research investigating the CNS mechanisms for observed effects. Previous research has found that mindfulness meditation, including mindful compassion, results in autonomic changes in the practitioner. Emerging neuroscience of dyadic interactions suggests that through the effects of mirror neuron isopraxis, one person's physiologic state may be mirrored by another. However, no research has directly evaluated the impact of one person's mindful compassion on another person's autonomic activity. This study paves the way for an entirely new avenue of research inquiry.
