Excessive and prolonged stress can have detrimental effects on both psychological and physiological health, compromising overall well-being and functioning. This study examines the impact of telepsychiatric group consultation using Instagram as an unexplored online social media platform on stress levels and problem-solving skills among young adults.
This study examines the impact of using an algorithm to select therapy content for patients engaged with the mobile mental health platform AmDTx (Mobio Interactive). The algorithm is to be trained with three separate sources of data. Two sources of data come from self-reports by the patients themselves, provided before and after engaging with therapy content. The third source of data comes from an objective measurement of psychological stress, made possible through artificial analysis of computer vision data captured from the mobile device camera as the patient completes a 30 second selfie video before and after engaging with therapy content.
Nurses are important members of the team in the provision of health services, which determine and help the health needs of the individual, family and society, while working towards the protection and development of health, as well as taking responsibility in therapeutic services. Nurses, who are permanent members of the professional health team, need to be trained with certain skills for effective nursing care while they are still in the education process. These skills are essential skills in practice, such as critical thinking, clinical decision making, communication, creativity, coping with stress, and problem solving. The education process consists of two parts, theoretical and practical, in order to develop these skills. Clinical practical training is the cornerstone of nursing education. Clinical practice helps to provide effective and quality care by increasing the psycho-motor skills, analysis ability and clinical decision-making skills of the student. In studies conducted with nursing students, it is seen that clinical practices are among the most important sources of stress. Considering the reasons for the stress they experience in practice; practice for the first time, fear of making mistakes, harming the patient, difficulty in making clinical decisions, communication with nurses, lecturers and friends, lack of information, and self-confidence problems. It is seen in the results of studies that students who experience stress in clinical practice have difficulty in decision making, decrease in their performance and self-confidence, decrease in professional career motivation, and a high tendency to make medical mistakes. Strategies for coping with stress are important when experiencing and managing stress. There are two types of coping strategies: problem-based and emotion-based. While problem-based coping aims to change the stressful event, the aim of emotion-based coping is to suppress and manage the emotions related to the stressful event. Stress mechanism and levels do not show effective results through problem-based coping alone. Emotion-based coping processes are also important. Orientation programs, simulation trainings, and laboratory practices with nursing students focus only on the knowledge level of clinical stress.There is also a need for studies on the emotional aspect of stress in the application areas. Being able to cope with stress effectively is important for students to benefit from the theoretical and clinical education they receive in a quality manner, to create a good experience and professional identity, and to develop effective coping behaviors.
College student anxiety is rising alarmingly and directly affects academics, occupations, and well-being. Occupational therapy (OT) students encounter a rigorous workload and pressure to become entry-level practitioners. Higher education faculty strive for evidence-based teaching strategies and effective classroom management and are often challenged to promote a positive classroom culture. This quasi-experimental study explored the effect of listening to music during a lab practical examination on the performance of OT graduate students.
Purpose: Chemotherapy treatment is a very different and difficult process. Considering the many physiological and psychological problems that patients experience during and after the treatment process, chemotherapy symptoms and psychological problems affect the quality of life of patients. Along with the burden of the disease, patients who experience physiological problems during chemotherapy may experience depression, stress, and anxiety. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of music played during chemotherapy on depression, anxiety, stress levels, and chemotherapy symptoms. Method: This study was conducted in a randomized controlled manner with a pretest-posttest control group random design model. The study population consisted of patients receiving treatment in the outpatient chemotherapy unit of Maltepe University Faculty of Medicine Hospital. The study sample consisted of 49 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The power analysis determined that the sample number was 42 people in total, 21 in the experimental group and 21 in the control group. However, considering the data losses, it was decided that the number would be 25 experimental and 25 control. When one patient from the experimental group did not want to continue, the study was completed with 49 patients, 24 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The music recital will be applied 4 times in total, once a week, until the patients complete 1 cycle, i.e. 4 sessions. Patients in the experimental group were administered the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS -42) and Edmonton Symptom Diagnostic Scale (ESDS) before each session until the completion of one cycle, and music was played for 20-25 minutes during chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, the scales were applied again. In the control group, the scales were applied before chemotherapy treatment, no intervention was made during chemotherapy and the scales were applied again after chemotherapy.
The research will be conducted experimentally in the form of randomized controlled studies to determine the effect of safe swaddling of newborns after bathing on stress and comfort. The population of the research consists of newborns receiving treatment and care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a State Hospital located in the north of Turkey, and the sample consists of 72 babies who meet the sample selection criteria. Descriptive Characteristics Form, Newborn Stress Scale and Newborn Comfort Behavior Scale were used to collect data. Babies will be bathed in the bathtub and then swaddled. The baby will be placed in the incubator and kept for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the swaddle will be opened quietly and slowly, without disturbing the body posture. Stress and comfort scores will be given by two observers by video recording the babies before bathing, before swaddling and after swaddling.
