Filter by:This study, which was planned to examine the effects of cognitive behavioral approach-based psychoeducation on addiction profiles, self-efficacy levels and addiction courses in patients with substance use disorders, was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study.
The purpose of this research is to examine the potential for a new software-based behavioral support approach, for individuals with opioid use disorder, as an addition to usual care.
Background: People who are homeless are more likely to experience poor mental health and addiction as well as suffering from non-communicable diseases. There is evidence of frailty and accelerated physical ageing among people experiencing homelessness. Appropriate physical rehabilitation and nutritional supplementation strategies can stabilize or reverse frailty and general physical decline, but it is not known how this type of intervention would work in practice in this population. Aim: To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a physical rehabilitation drop in intervention with protein supplementation to target physical functioning and frailty in people with problematic substance use who are experiencing homelessness. Methods: The intervention will consist of a 12-week low threshold physical rehabilitation program with protein supplementation. Participants will be service users of the Advance Ballyfermot Project, a day services center for people who are homeless and have active addiction issues. Primary outcomes will be feasibility including numbers recruited, retention of participants and number of repeat visits. Any adverse events will be recorded. Secondary outcomes will be strength and muscular mass, physical performance and lower extremity physical function, pain, frailty and nutritional status.
This pilot study of 16 patients will demonstrate a specific psychologically focused intervention to affect a spiritual aspect of psychological health and will measure (1) its effects on general distress, depression, anxiety and well-being; (2) healing and psychological impact beyond that accounted by usual personality factors; (3) its effect in correlation to measures of spirituality; (4) with neuroimaging, possible biological changes associated with this intervention. A. Objectives 1. Pilot a psychological intervention that impacts a "spiritual" level. 2. Measure efficacy improving well-being beyond explanation by usual personality factors. 3. Identify biological changes with neuroimaging. B. Hypotheses / Research Question(s) Studies demonstrate a healing effect beyond usual psychological and medical health to include a "spiritual" aspect with added experience of wholeness and well-being. Benefits are beyond just symptom relief but methods to achieve this are not well-defined. This study will provide a specific intervention and measure psychological and neuroimaging effects of the intervention. Hypotheses of Specific Results (see Study Instruments below) 1. DASS-21-shows significant decrease in depression, anxiety and overall stress. 2. PCL-5 - shows decrease 5-10 points (5 points=response, 10 points=clinically meaningful). 3. NIH-HEALS - shows significant increase overall and in all 3 factors. 4. WEMWBS - shows increase of greater than 3 points, considered "meaningful change." 5. Contingencies of Self-Worth Scale-shows significant global increase, positively correlated with increase in Mysticism Scale scores with post-intervention total above standardized mean. 6. A relevant portion of outcome improvement on DASS-21, NIH-HEALS, and ASPIRES will NOT be accountable by personality factors measured by NEO-FFI-3. 7. ASPIRES-shows significant increase in transcendence, no change in religious sentiments. 8. Neuroimaging-shows reduced activity in SPL, TPJ, MPFC, and IPL (see Research Significance).
The aim of this study is to reveal the effect of motivational interviewing based on change stages on digital game addiction. This study will be conducted with a total of 72 individuals assigned by a randomization site from all nursing students who study at Sivas Cumhuriyet University, Faculty of Health Sciences, voluntarily participated in the study, and were found to be digital game addicts. These individuals will be equally distributed to the intervention and control groups. Personal Information Form, Stages of Change Questionnaire and Digital Game Addiction Scale will be distributed to individuals to answer. The obtained data will be analyzed statistically.
Intimate partner violence and addictions are two frequent problematics with many consequences on health. A link between intimate partner violence and addictions has been found in many studies. Being a drug user increases the risk to be a perpetrator and also a victim of intimate partner violence. So, it is legitimate to question ourselves about the prevalence of the victims and perpetrators of intimate partner violence among the patients consulting or being hospitalized for an addiction problem. We believe that this prevalence will be high among these patients. On the other hand, the general practitioners are in first line receiving victims and perpetrators of violence and patients with addiction problems. So it is important to know the profiles of these patients and their expectations from their general practitioners.
The purpose of this research study is to examine how to improve sleep in college students in recovery from substance use disorder(s). This study is a pilot test of an experimental program called Recovery Sleepers (RS) to explore its feasibility and how well it works to improve sleep, wellbeing, and cravings.
In France, over the last years the use weak opioid analgesics decreased́, whereas that of strong opioid analgesics (OFMA). Hospitalizations for opioid overdose increased́ by 128% from 2000 to 2015, and deaths related to prescribed opioid overdose increased significantly, by 161%, from 2000 to 2014.In addition, recent studies suggest a link between opioid system dysfunction and suicidal behavior. In parallel, studies are emerging showing the potential interest of using Tramadol as an antidepressant. Indeed, this opiate analgesic also acts on the serotonergic and dopaminergic systems, and would have an antidepressant effect.Thus, the investigators can legitimately wonder whether the use of Tramadol as an antidepressant might not pose a problem in patients at risk of suicide. This study aims to describe a clinical case of a patient hospitalized in the Department of Psychiatric Emergency and Post-Emergency (Montpellier University Hospital) who developed a severe addiction to Tramadol (consumption up to 5 times the maximum recommended dose per day) and evaluate whether this may have increased her suicidal risk, in order to warn prescribers about the suicidal risk of Tramadol.
Even if hospital alcohol detoxifications are frequent in France, their caracteristicscharacteristics remain unknown. The investigators aim to describe the clinical and paraclinical caracteristicscharacteristics of their patients, their length and geographical repartition, etc… The investigators also aim to evaluate factors associated with longer stays or ulterior re-hospitalization for the same reason. Finally, The investigators aim to compare the stays by facility type.
There is an immediate need for population-level intervention research to address the impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and its containment measures on mental health and substance use (MHSU). While online programs are available to address these issues, they are often delivered in an asynchronous format with relatively low therapist or health coaching guidance. As highlighted by a recent systematic review, positive outcomes for online mental health programs are tied to the intensity of therapist or coaching guidance, which increases cost and reduces population access to more effective online options. A way to offset cost while maintaining effectiveness is to offer MHSU programs to groups online, rather than individually. In 2019, the investigators launched an RCT to test gender-stratified group interventions to address MHSU among community-based Indigenous and non-Indigenous adults in southern Alberta. The investigators implemented the interventions with more than 200 adults before the study was paused due to COVID-19.
