Filter by:Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic disease characterized by widespread pain of unknown origin, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive problems. In the treatment of FMS, it is known that pharmacological therapy reduces fatigue as well as pain, increases functionality, and has positive effects on general well-being. In functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, suggestion following hypnotic induction has been reported to be better at pain control in patients with FMS. Self-hypnosis is a technique performed by the patient himself. The patients were randomly divided into two groups using the closed envelope technique as Group 1: Hypnosis and Group 2: Control. Patients who had communication problems, had other rheumatological diseases, had major medical disease and received treatment, had neurological and/or central nervous system disease, had been using antipsychotic medication, had been treated with psychotherapy for the last three months, and did not want to participate in the study were excluded from the study. Demographic characteristics of the participants and fibromyalgia effect beck depression and anxiety scale, Nottingham health profile and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were applied and the results were recorded. At the end of the 6th month, all scales and patient controls were made and re-evaluated. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of controlled, standardized adjuvant hypnosis on pain, depression, anxiety, aerobic exercise practices, quality of life, and disease impact score in patients with FMS who had been under treatment for at least six months.
The present study is a randomised controlled trial that seeks to investigate the safety, acceptability and efficacy and safety of the Alena CBT programme as a treatment for social anxiety disorder.
A pre-post, single-group, quasi-experimental design will be used to determine the acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness of a theory-based, 8-week/16-session virtual Tai Chi Easy (vTCE) intervention for adults with OUD, anxiety, and chronic pain. This dissertation has three Aims: 1) Determine the feasibility of an 8-week/16-session, vTCE intervention for adults with OUD, CP, and anxiety; 2) Determine the perceptions of the vTCE intervention participants by conducting a focus group interview post-vTCE; 3) Explore within-subject changes in generalized anxiety, chronic pain intensity, opioid use, opioid cravings, and basic psychological needs post-vTCE.
The word palliative comes from the Latin word "pallium" meaning "cover". The aim of palliative care is not to eliminate the cause of the disease; to alleviate the negative effects of the disease. Mandala painting, which is one of the non-pharmacological applications, is an art therapy technique that can provide psychological support and healing. Mandala painting is a safe and accessible activity that requires no special skills and can be used as a complementary strategy to support mental health. In the literature, it is stated that coloring mandala improves psychological symptoms and relieves the person. The artistic view of nursing is to understand the needs of the individual, the sources of anxiety, anxiety and stress, and then to develop practices that will increase his/her self-confidence and resilience by increasing his/her ability and competence level. Therefore, this study was planned to examine the effect of mandala painting applied to caregivers caring for palliative care patients on perceived stress, anxiety level and quality of life. This research, which is planned as a randomized experimental study with pretest-posttest control group, will be a study for informal caregivers who have patients in the palliative service of fethi sekin city hospital between May 2023 and December 2023. The sample will consist of 80 (40 experimental, 40 control) caregivers who accepted the research that met the research criteria. Experimental group will be composed of caregivers who will paint mandalas. In addition to verbal and written information, the Patient Description Form, Perceived Stress Scale (PSÖ), State-Trait Anxiety Scale (WHO) and Short Form (SF-36) Quality of Life Scale have been applied to the 1st Stage. measurement will be obtained. The program will be implemented for 4 weeks, 4 days a week. 16 pre-selected mandala drawings will be printed separately on A4 papers and a new drawing will be given to caregivers every week. Mandala coloring papers and 12 colored felt-tip crayons will be given to each participant by the researcher. After the end of the sessions, the second measurements will be obtained by applying the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), State-Trait Anxiety Scale (DSQ) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) Quality of Life Scale.
Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed and reliable surgeries among eye diseases. While cataract surgeries were performed under general or local anesthesia in previous years, they are now performed topically. Despite providing conscious sedation with agents such as benzodiazepines and opioids before and during surgery, patients experience pain, anxiety, and discomfort during the surgical procedure. One of the non-pharmacological methods used to relieve acute pain during surgical intervention is stress ball. It is also used to reduce pain and anxiety and increase patient comfort. The stress ball suppresses most of the nerves and muscles directly connected to the brain around the wrist and hand, stimulating nerve and muscle activity. This mechanism reduces the release of stress hormones, regulates blood pressure by providing relaxation and relief, and helps reduce anxiety and acute stress. When literature is examined, it is seen that stress ball application is effective on patients' pain, anxiety, and vital signs; however, no randomized controlled study has been found in which stress ball application was performed during cataract surgery. This study was planned to investigate the effect of stress ball application during cataract surgery on patients' anxiety, pain, and vital signs.
In this study, it was aimed to determine the anxiety levels and comfort levels of the patients using stress ball in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. The universe of the study consisted of 156 patients receiving HD treatment at a special hemodialysis center. The study was completed with a total of 63 patients, including 31 people in the intervention group and 32 people in the control group, who met the criteria for inclusion in the study between 27.02.2023 and 27.03.2023. The individual demonstration form was used to collect data, the Visual Analog scale (VAS) for stress level and the hemodialysis comfort scale.
The present study will be conducted at the Department of Physiology in collaboration with the Department of Psychiatry of R.D. Gardi Medical College, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. This double-blind randomized controlled trial will remotely enroll 60 subjects. Each participant will complete 20 stimulation sessions at a rate of 3-5 sessions per week. Each session will be 30 minutes on the day of usage. The study will be randomized with a 1:1 active; or sham control allocation. Endpoint analysis will be performed upon completion of the study.
Integrated behavioral healthcare (IBH) emerged to address the high prevalence of psychosocial issues endemic to primary care settings coupled with primary care provider's discomfort in addressing psychosocial issues. IBH addresses the lack of psychosocial care in primary care settings by expanding the traditional healthcare team through the inclusion of a behavioral health provider (clinical social worker, licensed psychologist, etc.). The behavioral health provider utilizes evidenced based interventions to support the healthcare team with addressing a wide range of healthcare concerns. Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) provides a promising treatment approach within IBH settings due to the high productivity standards within primary care and the efficient, solution based style foundational to SFBT. In addition, SFBT is strengths based and emphasizes patient centered approaches which primary care aspires to achieve. Despite the natural fit, there is a paucity of research regarding SFBT within integrated care settings in general, and for specific disease states. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of SFBT within an IBH setting in the treatment of depression while assessing for commensurate improvement with traditional healthcare markers such as A1C, blood pressure, pulse, and weight. In addition, scaling questions will be utilized to assess for increase in core SFBT constructs to include self-awareness of strengths, future hope, and increased ability to problem solve. A pre-posttest experimental design will assess the differences between those receiving SFBT and treatment as usual across symptoms of depression, SFBT core attributes, and health outcomes.
