This is a pilot randomised controlled trial to explore the acceptability and feasibility of laughter yoga about anxiety and depression reduction in children with ASD and parenting stress reduction for their parents. Hypotheses of this study include: 1. Laughter yoga is acceptable to children with ASD and their parents. 2. Laughter yoga is feasible for anxiety and depression reduction in children with ASD and parenting stress reduction in their parents. 3. Participants in the experimental group will have significantly more reduction in depression, anxiety and parental stress than those in the wait-list-control group.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of the culturally adapted skills-training START NOW in youth migrant populations. The main question it aims to answer is: Is the culturally adapted skills training START NOW more effective than treatment as usual (TAU) in reducing mental health problems in migrants? Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention group receiving the skills training START NOW Adapted or the control group receiving TAU. Researchers will compare both groups to see if START NOW Adapted is more effective than TAU in reducing mental health problems in migrants.
The goal of this study is to refine and test a strategy for engaging Veterans with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and/or PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) as volunteers to help English language learners (ELLs) improve their speaking skills via structured conversations using videoconferencing.
Chemodenervation of the bladder with onabotulinum toxin A is an effective treatment option for patients with refractory urgency urinary incontinence (UUI). It is often performed as an office-based procedure under local anesthesia. Alternatively, it can be performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. The ability to receive intra-detrusor chemodenervation in the office allows patients to avoid the risks associated with general anesthesia and is significantly more cost effective. The procedure, however, is painful and can be anxiety provoking for patients; especially given that patients typically return every six to nine months for repeat injections. Relaxation and distraction techniques are one way to ease patients' anxiety before an office-based procedure. While we do not know exactly how anxiety provoking office bladder chemodenervation is for patients, we do know that anxiety disorders are highly prevalent in women with overactive bladder as a population. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether women with Urge urinary incontinence (UUI) who receive office intra-detrusor chemodenervation injections performed in a relaxing environment of lavender aromatherapy, calming music, dim lighting, and modest positioning (Relaxing Environment Package) will have decreased anxiety and pain as well as increased post-procedure satisfaction compared to patients who receive chemodenervation in a typical office environment. Also investigate whether exposure to the relaxing environment impacts the well-being of staff involved in these procedures. This study design is a randomized control trial. Women scheduled for office intra-detrusor chemodenervation at Atrium Health women's Care Urogynecology & Pelvic Surgery - Mercy clinic will be invited to participate. Participants will be randomized to the relaxing environment package or the placebo group after informed consent is obtained and immediately before undergoing intra-detrusor chemodenervation. The participants will complete the pre-procedure visual analog scale (VAS) for anxiety and a VAS for pain at baseline.
Spinal cord injuries (SCI) have a devastating effect not only on individuals incurring the life changing event, but also on those who are involved in their care. Family care-partners of those with SCI (fcSCI) may experience significant negative effects including impaired mental health, high levels of burden, poor adjustment to role, decreased quality of life and strain on relationships. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment strategy that helps individuals recognize and challenge their unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to their mental health concerns. However, barriers such as availability to specialized care, costs, rural and remote location, or concerns about stigma may limit access to care. Internet delivered CBT (ICBT) has the potential to reach a much wider group of people that may have unequal access to health care. In a previous feasibility study, the team demonstrated the preliminary effectiveness of a tailored ICBT Wellbeing program for fcSCI. However, our understanding of which components of the program can result in optimal management is limited. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of different components of the Wellbeing program including: therapist guidance, peer support groups, and booster sessions on symptoms of depression among fcSCI. The team will evaluate which intervention components result in meaningful improvement in symptoms of depression. Through collaborations with SCI community organizations and rehabilitation institutions, participants will be recruited across Canada. The researchers will also develop a model to examine the most cost-effective intervention package from the different components. The Wellbeing for fcSCI program can provide personalized service to individuals while being flexible and easily accessible, improving overall wellbeing and access to health care services.
Office hysteroscopy is an invaluable practice to treat a myriad of gynecological processes. However, a limiting factor is the perceived pain and anxiety. In a randomized pilot study, treatment with lavender aromatherapy will significantly decrease the stress/anxiety levels associated with office hysteroscopy, as measured on a visual analogue scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire when compared to control subjects receiving distilled water placebo.
Major depressive and anxiety disorders are highly prevalent in the general population and are a leading cause of disability. Black adults have a high burden of depression and anxiety. This study aims to assess a self- administered video-based intervention to reduce mental illness stigma and medical mistrust among Black adults with moderate to severe depression or anxiety.
This study aims to measure the effectiveness of the Music Therapy nursing intervention in reducing anxiety in outpatients diagnosed with severe mental illness (SMI) (bipolar disorder and schizophrenia). The intervention was structured over five weeks (ten 1-hour sessions, twice weekly). Objective measures (blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate) and subjective measures (anxiety response and the subjective perception of relaxation) were taken before and after every session.
When children become very sick and need to stay in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), it can have a big impact on their recovery and their family's well-being. Sometimes kids and their families feel worried or sad even after they leave the hospital. This can have an impact on the quality of their life after hospital discharge. To help understand and improve these experiences, the investigators want to study the "PICU diaries." These are journals that families and hospital staff can write in during the child's time in the hospital. Parents, other visitors and healthcare professionals can share thoughts, experiences, and even drawings or photos related to the child's admission. The content is a narrative account of what happens during the child's hospital stay, for the family to take home at PICU discharge. The investigators believe that writing in these diaries might help children and their families feel better after leaving the hospital. It might help kids feel less worried or sad, and it might also help their parents or caregivers feel better too. The study will include children who have been in the PICU and their families. Some families will receive these special diaries to use during their time in the hospital, while others won't. We'll then see how everyone feels after they leave the hospital and compare the two groups to see if the diaries make a difference. The investigators hope that by understanding how these diaries can help, healthcare professionals can make hospital experiences better for everyone involved.
