Filter by:Virtual Reality (VR) has firmly stood amongst other technological devices and can easily be adapted to clinical procedures due to its low cost. It can be easily used particularly in pediatric care units because it appeals to various age groups and can be adapted to mobile phones. Virtual Reality (VR) can be used during painful procedures in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of two different VR methods on procedure-related pain, fear and anxiety of children aged 5-12 years old during blood draw. This randomized controlled study used parallel trial design.
Clinical trial with 2 arms ("interval exercise training" or "waiting list") aiming at evaluating the anxiolytic effects of a 6 weeks-long exercise training program in first-time prisoners with elevated anxiety symtpoms
The hospitalization of a child for cardiac surgery is a major event in a family's life. Some factors induced by surgery can have serious psychological consequences and cause high stress and anxiety in the child but also in the parents. Many interventions have been tested to reduce this anxiety generated by apprehension of the surgical procedure, but there is no evidence to date that would allow health care services to effectively prepare these families for surgery. The authors encourage researchers to continue research on this subject in order to confirm or refute their results.
Sensory room is a new method in psychiatric inpatient care for management of anxiety. Since this method for anxiety management is being implemented more and more extensively within the psychiatric care system it is important to study its effect and whether there is any difference between physical and virtual sensory. In this study, the effect on mental well-being, pulse and blood pressure will be compared before and after each use of a virtual or physically sensory room. How the different methods affect the total care time, use of anxiety medication and results from self-assessment scales to measure depression and anxiety symptoms will also be looked at. The study will be conducted on two separate wards which primarily care for patients with the primary diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
The study present findings from the implementation of myCompass, a fully automated self-help intervention of Australian origin for mild to moderate anxiety and depression, in a Swedish context. The study also investigates the usage of a specially designed research platform aimed at handling informed consent and online surveys.
This study evaluates the effect of frontal cortex transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the neural correlates of threat processing in healthy volunteers with a high level of trait anxiety. All participants received both active and sham tDCS and underwent a functional imaging scan whilst carrying out an attentional control task with fearful distractors.
After completion of 5 years of medical school training, the next step of becoming a House Officer is said to be associated with high levels of stress. It has been associated with mental health problems amongst HOs and sometimes quitting the medical line altogether. In Malaysia, the number of HOs not completing housemanship training within the allocated time is slowly declining from 86.4% (2009) to 58.8% (2012). The dropout rate is said to be increasing yearly. This causes a lot of constraints on the HO, their family, sponsors, patients and also the country. Amongst the reason for stress is the feeling of incompetency or "fear of making mistakes". Other work-related issues include workload, time management, financial, colleague and superior related issues. Medicorp is a company that specializes in training for junior doctors and has come up with a module to help medical graduates cope with these issues. The module is a 3-day-course named the HO Preparatory Course. It was initially the brainchild of the Islamic Medical Association of Malaysia (IMAM) but was later privatized to accommodate the demand and the running of the module and courses. The module has been re-evaluated through feedback of participants and trainers to cater to the needs and wants of the newly graduate; be it local or overseas. Therefore, the investigators would like to assess whether this intervention module is effective in addressing HO stress, therefore consequently reduce the risk of drop out and extension in HO training.
With the recent availability of vortioxetine, and the surging phenomenon of cannabis misuses amongst young abusers, it is a timely opportunity to conduct an early pharmacotherapy intervention study to offer an evidence-based strategy aiming to stop individuals with cannabis use disorders with depressive or anxiety symptoms, to develop into a more chronic disabling dependence or co-morbid state.
The patients were randomized into "Bathe" and "Control" groups by using the closed envelope technique. Demographic data and pre-examination anxiety scores State- Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) are recorded as entrance STAI for all patients. Then they had routine preoperative evaluation. During these procedures, Bathe method was applied to the Bathe Group whereas it was not applied to the Control Group. After that post-examination, STAI scores were recorded as exit STAI and the patients were later asked questions about their contentment.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that music listening during carotid endarterectomy administered the cervical plexus block will cause less anxiety, less pain, and greater patient satisfaction.
