Filter by:Introducing restrictions on human contact has been effective in preventing the uncontrolled spread of COVID-19, however, it appears to have negatively impacted mental health. Psychological problems in different age groups occur with different intensity and duration of the pandemic. This study was aimed to assess the impact of introducing distance learning (e-Learning) on the stress levels and mental well-being among Slovak Students.

A randomized control trial examining the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of providing access to the MindShift CBT mobile app via tablet for acute psychiatric inpatients.
Health anxiety by proxy is defined as parents' obsessive worries about their child's health. It is a newly described phenomenon, where the parent has persistent and distressing fears that his or her child may suffer from a serious disease that is being overlooked. These intrusive thoughts may lead to excessive attention directed towards their child's body and a tendency to interpret natural bodily sensations as unnatural and abnormal. As a consequence, parents with health anxiety by proxy may repetitively perform bodily inspections of their child. Besides the stress related to worrying about your child's health, the condition can also cause frequent and unnecessary medical examinations of the child. As a possible consequence of this parental behavior, the child may be at risk of developing similar maladaptive illness behaviors, illness perceptions and illness worries. Currently, the phenomenon is widely overlooked and no treatment for health anxiety by proxy exists. The aim of the study is to test the feasibility and possible effect of an internet-based treatment program for health anxiety by proxy (iACT-by-proxy) using a single-case experimental design. Design The iACT-by-proxy is being tested in a single-case experimental design with multiple baselines. In a multiple baseline design the participants have different baseline lengths but the same intervention and follow-up period. The rationale behind the different baseline lengths is that it will be evident if target outcome measures change at intervention entry, but not during baseline. Thus the participants' baseline-period functions as their own control. Hypotheses - Patients will report a significant decrease in selected self-report measures of health anxiety by proxy answered every other day when comparing the baseline period to the interven-tion period. - Patient self-report measures of health anxiety by proxy, emotional distress, and illness perception and catastrophizing when the child has symptoms will have decreased after intervention. Participants Parents assessed with health anxiety by proxy with children under 18years. Recruitment Participants are assessed with health anxiety by proxy using the Health Anxiety by Proxy Scale (HAPYS).Participants self-refer to the project through the webpage www.helbredsangst.dk. After diagnostic video-interview they are included in the project.
Background: Radiotherapy (RT) can be stressful and challenging for children exposed to a highly technical environment with large radiation equipment and immobilization devices. A pedagogical digital game about RT has been developed. Children who have received RT participated in work-shops and contributed with their experiences and suggestions. Aim: To explore whether the intervention with a pedagogical digital game facilitate understanding, choice of distraction, creation of a sense of calmness and self-efficacy prior to and during RT and to describe the children's and the parents experiences and use of the game as a pedagogical tool. Further, to investigate feasibility in terms of reach, usability and acceptability. Method: A feasibility and prospective waiting list control design is planned by recruiting 60 children (5-14 years) and their parents, for randomization into two groups. The first group will receive the game five days before start of RT. All children will have standard information one day before RT. The second group will have access to the game three days after start of treatment. The effects of the game will be investigated before and during RT and between groups as they receive the game at different time. Children will answer questionnaires about self-assessed anxiety, understanding of the procedure, distraction strategies, self-efficacy to remain motionless. Statistical comparative and correlational analyses will be calculated. Interviews will be performed with 12 children and 24 parents. Changes and further development of the game will be implemented based on the results of the responses. Significance: The game can support children to undergo RT and be used nationally to prepare for RT. Thus all children receive similar information regardless of where they live, and contribute to increased knowledge, autonomy, reduce fear and anxiety. In the long term, the use of anesthesia could decrease for children.
This study endeavors to implement a brief video-based mindfulness intervention within a clinic setting for women undergoing pelvic examinations, in hopes of reducing state anxiety and pain intensity during pelvic exams and improving overall exam satisfaction and likelihood to return for follow-up exams.

There is exaggerated neuroendocrine stress response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation during the Induction to anesthesia-delivery (I-D) period under light anesthesia. Mechanical stimulation of laryngeal proprioceptors elicits increased secretion of cortisol and catecholamine with subsequent elevation of blood pressure from 40 to 50 % and heart rate up to 20 % during direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation
