Filter by: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.
This small experimental pilot study addresses the knowledge gap related to the use of weighted blankets for children with anxiety related to food and eating.
Mental health in the university population has become a common and serious problem within university institutions worldwide in recent years. Various meta-analyses and systematic reviews have shown worrying figures in the last five years. In the USA, it has been described in medical students that between 6.0% and 66.5% have depression, between 7.7% and 65.5% anxiety disorders, and between 12.2% and 96.7% present stress. In China, on the other hand, a study reported in 2016 that the prevalence of depression was 23.8%. In Latin America, a Brazilian article conducted on medical students shows a prevalence of depression at 30.6%, anxiety disorders at 32.9%, and stress at 49.9%. In Chile, there are very few studies that address the prevalence of mental health disorders and associated risk factors in the university population. The article published in 2014 by Baader et al. is one of the first records was carried out on a population of 800 students in 2008 at the Austral University of Chile, reporting a prevalence of 27% of depression and 5.3% of students who present a moderate to severe risk of suicide. During April and May 2019, the results of the "First National University Mental Health Survey" project were presented, a project led by the Catholic University of Temuco and sponsored by the National Research and Development Agency (ANID), carried out to 600 students from the Catholic University of Temuco, the University of Concepción and the University of Tarapacá. This project showed that 46% of the students presented depressive symptoms, 46% anxiety symptoms, and 53.5% stress symptoms. Furthermore, 29.7% presented the three symptoms simultaneously, and 5.1% of the students had suicidal thoughts at the time of the study. In a review of published studies on mental health in higher education students in Chile, a wide variability in the prevalence of psychological symptoms among students was identified. The findings showed a range of prevalence of psychological distress between 22.9% and 40.7%, of depressive symptoms between 16.5% and 38.8%, of anxious symptoms between 16.5% and 23.7%, of cannabis consumption in the last 12 months between 19.7% and 29.7%, and alcohol consumption in the previous year between 84.0% and 92.6%. The data obtained from the Mental Health Surveys of the University of the Andes, applied in the years 2020 and 2022 to undergraduate students, indicate variations in the prevalence of different symptoms and psychological risks. Specifically, the prevalence of depressive symptoms decreased from 37.1% to 27.84%, and that of anxious symptoms decreased slightly from 37.9% to 36.13%. A notable decrease was observed in stress, going from 54.6% to 12.9%. On the other hand, the prevalence of suicide risk experienced a less pronounced decrease, from 20% to 18.4%, remaining at a considerably high rate. Taking into account the above, mental health problems in the university population continue to be a public health problem that must be addressed preventively through the implementation of evidence-based programs. Objective: This study aims to determine the acceptability and feasibility of an online universal mental health prevention program for university students. It is also expected to reduce depressive and anxious symptoms and improve quality of life. Outcomes: Primary response measures: Acceptability Assessment, Feasibility Assessment. Secondary response measures are depression, anxiety, and quality of life. The Outcomes section provides more details on anxiety and qu. Expected results: The data collected will allow us to determine the acceptability and satisfaction of the participants with the intervention using a quantitative measure of its credibility and to explore its effects on the participants, considering the change in depressive and anxiety symptoms and quality of life before and after the intervention.
The study will be conducted using a randomized controlled method. Children with type 1 diabetes who are admitted to the Pediatric Endocrinology Service will be divided into two groups by randomization method. Following randomization, children in the experimental group will play a therapeutic game before their subcutaneous insulin treatment. In the subcutaneous insulin treatment of the children in the control group, the routine practice of the clinic will be applied. Anxiety and fear levels of all children in the experimental and control groups will be evaluated before and after subcutaneous insulin treatment.
It was aimed to examine the effect of the hand holding method applied during intramuscular injection on pain and anxiety.
It was planned as a randomized controlled study to determine the effect of the modified simulation model on self-efficacy, anxiety and academic motivation in episiotomy training. It will be held online with students from the midwifery department of Osmaniye Korkut Ata University.
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.
Work-related attention bias modification training and virtual reality training in occupational rehabilitation is a multisite pilot study. The quantitative aim of this pilot study is to compared virtual reality (VR) training and attention bias modication (ABM) training to investigate whether the different training forms result in different results measured with work-related outcomes and cognitive outcomes. The qualitative aim of this pilot study is to investigate the patients' experiences with the usage of VR. Three rehabilitation insitutions will be recruiting patients participating in occupational rehabilitation, and the study will compare the outcomes of work-related interventions with and without the addition of ABM or VR training. The study seeks to determine if these interventions can improve work ability, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and change attentional bias from negative to positive stimuli.
Social anxiety (SA) is a highly prevalent mental health concern, thought to disproportionately affect youth with recent international estimates of more than 30% of individuals reporting clinically elevated symptoms. Despite the prevalence of SA, as few as one in five individuals receive care, due to limited access to evidence-based treatments. Additionally there has been a notable increase in social anxiety since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This proposal will use iExposure to develop a personalized mechanism-focused approach to optimizing treatment response for individuals with social anxiety by testing standard iExposure against two augmentations that incorporate distinct attention mechanisms (attention guidance and attention control).
Previous studies have indicated a high incidence of sleep disturbances and anxiety symptoms in individuals with colorectal cancers prior to undergoing surgery, leading to worsened postoperative pain, slower recovery, and higher risk of chronic pain. The enhancement of sleep quality is intricately linked to reducing stress. Preoperative drugs that combine hypnosis and anti-anxiety have not been studied in colorectal cancer patients. Midazolam oral solution is safe and effective for short-term hypnotic and anti-anxiety effects in clinical preoperative settings. In the current randomized controlled clinical trial, 280 patients experiencing sleep disturbance or anxiety prior to colorectal cancer surgery will receive midazolam solution to assess its potential efficacy in reducing postoperative pain, expediting recovery, and decreasing the likelihood of chronic pain. Additionally, the study aims to explore the potential connections between midazolam administration and reductions in stress and inflammation.
