Filter by:Non-pharmacological methods such as multimedia applications and visual and auditory technological tools are used to create a more enjoyable experience by reducing children's fear and anxiety and distracting them in the preoperative period. With the latest developments in technology, live, immersive, augmented and virtual reality systems are seen to be included and used in preoperative preparation training, especially for pediatric patients. One of the applications of these innovative technologies that has attracted attention recently is augmented reality technology. The original value of this study is to reduce the fear and anxiety levels experienced by children reading books in the preoperative period with the application of augmented reality, which is a developing, promising and easily accessible technology. The method of this study consists of two groups: an augmented reality applied book reading group and a control group. In the preoperative period for both groups, a survey will be administered to the child and the accompanying parent using the "Child and Family Introductory Data Form", which includes sociodemographic characteristics, approximately 1 hour before the surgery. In addition, the child himself will be asked to score the "Child Anxiety Scale-State" scale to determine the level of anxiety about the surgery, and the child himself, the parent and the researcher will be asked to score the "Child Fear Scale" to determine the child's level of fear about the surgery. The book reading group with augmented reality application will be asked to read the voiced and animated book titled 'One Child, One Miracle', accompanied by an application downloaded free of charge from Google Play or IOS to their mobile phone or tablet. The storybook will be presented to the children in this application group in three dimensions with the help of a mobile phone or tablet. Children in the control group will read the same book without using the augmented reality application. After reading the book for both groups, the children will be asked to rate their fear and anxiety levels again using the same scales. This research is a randomized controlled and experimental study. The adequacy of the sample size in the study "G. It was calculated using the "Power-3.1.9.2" program. In the power analysis conducted for the sample and power calculation of the experimental study with the application and control groups, it was decided to study with 30 children for each group.
The aim of this study was to detect and compare the effects of ShotBlocker® and Buzzy® methods on pain, anxiety, and satisfaction during the administration of Tetanus-Diphtheria vaccine to school-aged children. This study was an experimental randomized controlled trial. The sample was included 138 children in a family health centers aged 13 years who underwent Tetanus-Diphtheria vaccine. The participants were randomly assigned to ShotBlocker®, Buzzy®, and control groups. Each group included 46 children, of whom 23 were female and 23 were male. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Visual Analog Scale were used to collect the data.
The study, set to take place at Gold Coast University Hospital in Australia, will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial. Patients preparing for gynecological cancer surgery will be recruited and randomly assigned to one of two groups: those who will receive standard care plus a virtual reality (VR) intervention, and those who will receive only standard care. Standard care encompasses the usual pre-operative procedures and support provided by the hospital staff. We hypothesize that immersing patients in a preparatory virtual environment that shows them what they are to expect during their upcoming hospital stay for surgery, could help reduce their anxiety levels.
Research methods 1 Data collection and evaluation tools 1. The general data record sheet was self-designed by the research team, and the collected content included age, gender, BMI, occupation, general family status, economic situation, history of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, history of anxiety and depression, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score, blood pressure and heart rate before and after intervention, disease diagnosis and severity, etc. 2. The anxiety was self-scored using the VAS-A (0-10 points), with 0 point as no anxiety and 10 as severe anxiety. 3. Negative emotional intensity was scored using the subjective unit of disturbance scale (SUDS, 0-10 points), with 0 point as no and 10 points as severe. 4. Nursing satisfaction was scored by the self-designed questionnaire (1-5 points): 5 points, very satisfied; 4 points, relatively satisfied; 3 points, satisfied; 2 points, medium; 1 point, dissatisfied. 2 Intervention method of the control group The control group was given routine nursing. After entering the pre-anesthesia room, the patients were scored using the VAS-A, and those with VAS-A score ≥ 5 were considered to meet the inclusion criteria. After identity authentication, the preoperative precautions and reasons for waiting in the pre-anesthesia room were explained to the patients, and answers were provided to the questions raised by the patients. After routine nursing, VAS-A score was recorded, blood pressure and heart rate were monitored, and nursing satisfaction was inquired. The survey of patient satisfaction with nursing was completed before entering the operating room. 3 Intervention method of the experimental group 3.1 Researcher training Before intervention, 4 nurses were trained for 5 d by a nurse with EFT qualification certificate, 1 h per day. The training content included: theoretical knowledge of EFT, tapping techniques, etc. After training, two assessments were conducted. Only those who scored above 90 points in both assessments could participate in the study. 3.2 Operating instructions The acupoint diagram was distributed to the experimental group by nurses, and the essentials and precautions of acupoint tapping were explained. The nurses demonstrated and tapped the acupoints on the patients while explaining, and then instructed them to tap on their own until they were able to complete the task independently and proficiently. For patients with upper limb vein puncture, proper fixation and close observation were needed, and the flexible nature of the puncture needle that would not affect operations was explained to the patients to eliminate their concerns. 3.3 Intervention content After routine nursing, the patients received EFT intervention. In addition, subjective anxiety was scored, blood pressure and heart rate were monitored, and nursing satisfaction was surveyed after admission and intervention. The specific methods are as follows. 1. Preparation stage The patients with VAS-A score ≥ 5 meeting the inclusion criteria were in a comfortable position with eyes closed, and adopted breathing exercise to relax their whole body. The patients were guided to summarize the main current distresses, such as fear, tension, pain, surgical prognosis, economic burden, etc., name the caused negative emotions, and use the SUDS to evaluate the intensity of negative emotions. The patients were asked to recite silently the prompt "Although I am very ** (a negative emotional word) now, I still deeply and completely love and accept myself" while tapping. 2. Tapping stage The patients were guided to gently massage the sore points on both sides of the body (2-3 fingers below the midpoint of the clavicle) with their five fingers together in a clockwise direction, while silently reciting the prompt 3 times. Then, the patients were guided to close their index and middle fingers together and gently tap the Zanzhu, Tongziliao, Chengqi, Renzhong, Chengjiang, Shufu, Dabao and Baihui acupoints successively with their fingertips at 2-3 times/s and the force they can bear. The prompt was recited silently when tapping each acupoint. After 3-5 rounds of tapping, 3 deep breaths were taken to re-evaluate the intensity of negative emotions. 3. Feedback stage After tapping, the patients communicated with the nurses at least once about their evaluated negative emotional intensity score and whether the score was accepted. If the tapping effect was not obvious, the evaluation was conducted by nurses, and the patients were guided to massage the sore points while silently reciting the prompt 3 times. To relieve reverse psychological drive, tapping was continued until the intensity of negative emotions reduced.
A prospective randomized triple blinded study conducted in the obstetrics gynecology department of Ben Arous hospital over a period of four months and 10 days between April 2023 and August 2023. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy on postoperative pain and anxiety after cesarean section under spinal anesthesia in Tunisian women.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of the clinical removal of fixed partial dentures (FPDs) on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and the anxiety values of individuals and to determine the risk factors of high anxiety levels. 300 participants were included in this study. Six different reasons for the clinical removal of FPDs (oral examination, denture renewal, root canal treatment, tooth extraction, periodontal treatment, and composite filling restoration) were defined. Questions pertaining to the United Kingdom Oral Health-Related Quality-of-Life Measure (OHQoL-UK), the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS), and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - State (STAI-S) and Trait (STAI-T) were answered.
The aim of the study was to examine the effects of the emotional freedom technique and virtual reality glasses applied to individuals receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the first time on anxiety and vital signs. The hypotheses of this research are that there is a difference between the emotional liberation technique and virtual reality glasses groups and the control group in terms of anxiety and vital signs.
Depression and anxiety are the most prevalent mental disorders among both the general population and young adults, and transdiagnostic treatments for these patients are mostly based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Based on common (transdiagnostic) principles of treatment (e.g., emotional exposure), these approaches have proliferated and demonstrated their efficacy in comparison to disorder-specific treatments. Although there are a few transdiagnostic approaches for children and adolescents, it was not possible to not find anyone targeting young people. For this reason, the investigators proposed the Identity-Based Transdiagnostic Therapy (IBTT) as a new treatment modality ideally created to address the challenge of improving the outcomes of psychotherapy for young adults with anxiety and/or depression. The IBTT is a psychological treatment for emotional disorders specifically designed for the youths in terms of their attitudes to treatment (attractiveness, engagement), and highly personalized to their construal of self and others. This project will allow testing the hypothesis that a novel brief psychotherapeutic intervention, IBTT, will be more efficacious in the treatment of the anxiety and/or depression of young adults than the well-established CBT-based Unified Protocol.
The main purpose of dialysis used in the treatment of end-stage renal failure is; By relieving the patient from uremic symptoms, controlling excess fluid, electrolyte and acid base disorders, improving the well-being of the patients and also improving the quality of life of the patients. In addition to its contribution to the continuation of life, dialysis can significantly affect the biological and physiological balance and normal life order of patients. Some of these effects may be negative on patients. During this process, patients may frequently experience symptoms such as changes in fluid-electrolyte balance, increased fatigue, and weakness, as well as psychopathological conditions such as anxiety. In this context, it is extremely important to handle patients from a holistic perspective and keep their homeostatic balance under control during the hemodialysis process. In addition to pharmacological treatments, many integrative methods are used in the management of symptoms for reasons such as being low in cost, having fewer side effects than pharmacological treatments, and strengthening the immune system. Museum visit, one of these integrative treatment methods, has become an area of art therapy where help is received for various reasons such as coping with the symptoms of chronic diseases, reducing the side effects of medications, preventing mental depression, strengthening healthy behaviors, and avoiding tension and loss of control. In this context, the research was planned as a randomized controlled study investigating the effect of virtual museum tour on dialysis symptom index and anxiety in hemodialysis patients..T.R. The "https://sanalmuze.gov.tr" site belonging to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism will be shown to the patients five times and the virtual museum visit will be made by showing the patient's preferred museum five times among the 53 museums prepared by the General Directorate of Information Technologies of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the Initiative Group, Control It will be compared with its group. Research data; It will be collected using the Patient Information Form, Dialysis Symptom Index and Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI). At the end of the study, the data will be evaluated in the SPSS program. The museum visit applied to the Intervention Group will also be applied to the control group after the study is completed, taking into account the ethical dimension.
The use of virtual reality (VR) in pediatric healthcare settings helps to reduce children's pain and anxiety. However, this technology has not been used consistently in pediatric dentistry. Consequently, the goal of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of using a Virtual Reality headset as a distraction technique during dental procedures in children and identify patient and clinician's opinions regarding its use. This study incorporates a single-site, randomized clinical trial design with two paralleled study groups. One group will receive dental treatment following regular standard of care of behavior management while the second group will receive dental treatment using a Virtual Reality distraction headset. Patients in both groups will complete a questionnaire to assess their perception of pain and anxiety before and after the intervention, as well as their satisfaction with the dental treatment. The dentist providing the treatment will also report their observations relating to patient behavior during dental treatment.
