This study investigates the effect of a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based Family Counseling Program on the anxiety and mindfulness levels of university students experiencing future anxiety. The research highlights the significance of university education in career development, noting the associated biopsychosocial challenges faced by students. These challenges often manifest as future anxiety-a condition characterized by fear, uncertainty, and stress about future prospects, which can impact students' academic performance, social relationships, and overall mental health. Literature reveals that interventions like CBT, mindfulness practices, and family counseling are effective in managing anxiety and enhancing emotional resilience. The program integrates these approaches to provide dual-layer support, addressing individual thought patterns and family dynamics, thus potentially reducing anxiety and increasing mindfulness among students. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the program's effectiveness in a controlled setting, contributing to both national and international literature on mental health interventions.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate if one specific botanical extract from Grains of Paradise works to induce anxiolytic effect in adult people in stress or anxiety situations It will also learn about the extract's positive effects on sleep and mood. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does botanical extract exert an anxiolytic effect on the participants under stress or anxiety circumstances? Does botanical extract promote positive effects on Mood and nocturnal sleep? Does botanical extract influence body parameters like Blood pressure, inflammatory indicators or stress hormones? Researchers will compare tree doses of botanical extract (50,100 or 150mg) to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no herbal product) to see if herbal extract support anxiolytic effect. Participants will: Take herbal extract or a placebo daily for 3 days. Visit the clinic two times: at the start of the study (day0) and to the end of the study (Day +2)for checkups and tests. Keep a diary with questions about their activities, daily foods and physicals perceptions.

The postpartum period, especially in the first few weeks, can be a difficult period for mothers to adapt to the new situation of having a baby. During this process, physiological, psychological and social changes occur in the mother's body. While many mothers adapt to these changes easily, some mothers may experience psychological disorders at different levels.Among these, anxiety and depression are the most common diseases. Anxiety can negatively affect mothers, especially during birth and the postpartum period.During the postpartum period, nurses have the opportunity to improve maternal and infant health by recognizing and treating anxiety.Physical symptoms associated with postpartum anxiety include fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disturbances. However, during the vaginal birth process, mothers may feel tired in the early postpartum period, as the pregnant woman spends a lot of energy by staying hungry for a long time. When the literature was examined, it was determined that endorphin massage reduces back pain in pregnant women, reduces anxiety level in pregnant women, accelerates the involution process in the postpartum period, and has positive effects on postpartum depression.Similar to endorphin massage, it has been determined that back massage reduces back pain in the postpartum period and provides the mother with both physiological and psychological relief. In addition, no study has been found examining the effect of endorphin massage applied to postpartum women on anxiety levels and fatigue in the postpartum period. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of endorphin massage applied to postpartum women who gave birth vaginally on postpartum anxiety and fatigue levels.
In this study, the effect of the therapeutic game applied before treatment on pain, fear, anxiety and physiological parameters and the satisfaction of the parents was investigated.
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.
