Filter by:The ongoing warfare and economic instability in the Middle East and in North Africa causes many people to leave their home countries. Arrived in a host countries, in this example, in Switzerland, they face a lot of structural and psychosocial hurdles. Particularly in the first years, building up a certain quality of life is complicated and challenging. To support this process, the Swiss Red Cross and the University of Bern have developed the Sui app. It contains structural and social information as well as low-intensity psychological tools to provide support to the everyday life of Arabic-speaking people in Switzerland.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effects of Immersive Virtual Reality in patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Could the immersive virtual reality application prevents or reduces anxiety, prevents or reduces fatigue, prevents or reduces pain, improves therapeutic adherence, prevents or reduces adverse events, then cancer patients treated with narrative medicine, and then cancer patients in standard care only? - Could the immersive virtual reality application show symptoms of cybersickness? Participants will be randomly allocated with balanced allocation ratio 1: 1: 1 into three groups: 1) Virtual Reality group; 2) Narrative medicine group; 3) Standard care group. In the virtual reality arm, patients will use a Virtual Reality headset. The multimedia contents in VR, will have a video quality from 4K to 8K, 360 degrees, and High Definition audio stereo. In control arm, patients will be free to choose different activities during the infusion of chemotherapy, such as conversation with nurses, doctors, trainees, reading, writing, watching television, listening to music or videos on their smartphone. In narrative medicine arm, patients will express their subjective experience regarding to the chemotherapy through writing. The experience will be written in free form by the patient and will cover both the cognitive, emotional and perceptual aspects. A nurse will always be available to guide the patient in the activity of expressing cognitive, emotional and perceptual contents. Researchers will compare the Virtual Reality group, Narrative Medicine group, Standard care group, to see the effects regarding to anxiety, fatigue, pain, improves therapeutic adherence and adverse events.
This study will examine a heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) intervention versus a music listening control (MLC) for 30 family caregivers (FCGs) of Alzheimer's disease (AD) (and related dementias: ADRD) patients to examine feasibility (acceptability/adherence, satisfaction) and direction of change in caregiver burden, stress, resilience, anxiety, self-compassion, and relationship quality over the course of 8-weeks.
CMHD are particularly prevalent among women, posing a major threat to their own and their children's wellbeing. Despite the high prevalence of CMHD and the existence of effective treatments, interventions supporting women living in low-resourced settings remain limited. This study builds on a parent study (Zamcharts NCT03991182), which identified a high prevalence of women with anxiety and/or depression. We propose to design, test, and validate a community-based intervention nested within the public primary health system in Zambia, to identify and treat women with mild-to-severe CMHDs.
A body of evidence from both animal and human research suggests that antidepressant drugs may induce early changes in emotional processing that interact with environmental factors to produce a later change in mood. This experimental medicine study will examine the effect of citalopram on emotional cognition under different environmental conditions (as manipulated by the presence or absence of behavioural activation training). Participants will be administered either citalopram or placebo over the course of two weeks. Citalopram will be taken either alone or in combination with behavioural activation training.
This research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to reduce the anxiety expectant mothers feel when on a non-stress test.
When participating in population-based screening for cervical cancer, women experience great anxiety during the weeks of waiting since they learn that they have an altered screening result until the colposcopy is performed. In this study we want to verify how anxiety decreases when the information is improved and an audiovisual support is added when giving it.
Coronary angiography; It is defined as the imaging of the coronary arteries by providing the catheterization of the femoral, brachial or radial arteries, and the administration of contrast material under the guidance of fluoroscopy. Coronary angiography is a stressful procedure for the patient. Because patients are conscious during the procedure, they may experience anxiety about possible complications and an uncertain outcome. Anxiety causes changes in the physiological parameters of individuals by affecting the sympathetic nervous system of individuals. As with all procedures performed in the hospital environment, patients may experience pain during coronary angiography. Coronary angiography causes fear of death and anxiety in patients due to the unknowns it contains. Aromatherapy is the use of oils obtained from plants for treatment and care. Aromatherapy provides control of pain and anxiety by affecting the amygdala and hippocampus, which regulate fear and aggression behaviors in the limbic system. Music has been used by different civilizations throughout history for purposes such as reinforcing religious feelings, intensifying emotions and curing diseases. The multifaceted effect of music on people has led to its use in treatment. Among the therapeutic benefits of listening to music are the reduction of fear, pain and anxiety by diverting the attention of the individual, affecting the autonomic nervous system and increasing the secretion of endorphins. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of aromatherapy and music listening on pain, anxiety and fear in patients who will undergo coronary angiography
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of mobile app containing a range of evidence based tools to improve the mental health and substance use outcomes of university students.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a relatively new approach for the treatment of mental health issues, which involves the combination of ketamine, a dissociative anaesthetic with psychedelic properties, and psychotherapy to promote emotional wellbeing. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of KAP in adult patients coping with mental health. We predicted that clients would experience lasting reductions in psychological distress over time, such as depression, anxiety, and post traumatic stress, that would be detectable up to 6 months after treatment. The results of this study may provide evidence of sustained real-world effects of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, of interest to patients, clinicians, researchers, and policymakers.
