this study aims to investigate the effect of the cardiac rehabilitation program on perceived health, status, anxiety, depression, and 90-day readmission rates for post-cardiac surgery patients. The participants in this study will be randomly allocated to either an experimental or control group, the experimental group will receive the cardiac rehabilitation programThe cardiac rehabilitation program extends over 3 months after cardiac surgery. The program includes exercise, health education, and stress management. All content will delivered to the participants through the WhatsApp application as instruction videos and short lectures. exercise will be gradually increased in terms of intensity, and duration. Health education will cover topics like a healthy diet blood pressure, blood cholesterol control, smoking cessation..etc. Stress management will include relaxation therapy, breathing control, behavioral change, and other strategies to control stress. All interventions are guided by universal guidelines like the Australian Cardiovascular Health and Rehabilitation Association (ACRA) and American Heart Association (AHA)..All potential participants will be assessed before being involved in the study. assessment including a general physical examination, inspection of the surgical site, and recent history for potential patient symptoms after discharge, such as chest pain, palpitation, fatigue, or dyspnea. The assessment includes electrocardiograph (ECG), blood samples, and echocardiography analyses. Based on the findings of this assessment, patients will be classified by the cardiologist as either grade I, II, III, or IV, according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification. Patients who will be eligible to participate in the present study should be grade I or II in the NYHA Classification for dyspnea. Participants in the control group will receive the usual care (general instructions and advice from physicians and nurses). All materials will be delivered to all participants after completing the study.
Pilot study of the feasibility and utility of an early, in-hospital multidisciplinary intervention in ICU survivors at risk for psychological and physical problems post-ICU stay
In previous clinical studies, PS128 has been reported to ameliorate motor deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD). PS23 has been reported to delay some age-related disorders. On the basis of previous animal and clinical studies which hope that this study can support the theory of the gut-brain axis, and have the opportunity to realize the relationship between peripheral inflammation and neurodegeneration.
This study is a Randomized Controlled trial.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preoperative routine patient education and video-assisted mobilization training on postoperative mobility, anxiety level and pain in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Hypotheses of the study: H1= Routine patient education and video-assisted mobilization training have an effect on postoperative anxiety level in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. H2= Routine patient education and video-assisted mobilization training have an effect on postoperative mobility in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. H3= Routine patient education and video-assisted mobilization training have an effect on postoperative pain in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
This prospective randomized trial evaluated the effect of music interventions on anxiety and nervousness during 10 consecutive days in individuals undergoing their first radiation therapy session.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) and anxiety on masseter muscle thickness by using ultrasonography.
The current study aims to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of a training curriculum designed for teaching low-intensity psychological interventions to bachelor's degree holders, specifically focusing on principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and its intervention effectiveness. This evaluation is divided into two integral parts. In the first part, the curriculum, which encompasses a 120-hour intensive teaching block followed by a nine-month placement, will be evaluated. To assess the trainees' competencies in applying the principles of ACT, a series of role-play examinations will be administered at various time points, including pre-training, pre-placement, mid-placement, and end-of-placement. Focus groups will be conducted. The second part of the evaluation is to examine the outcomes of low-intensity psychological interventions, delivered by the trainees, targeting adult individuals screened with mild to severe symptoms of depression and anxiety. To achieve this, a series of questionnaires will be administered at several stages: pre-intervention, during each session, and at a three-month follow-up. Outcome measures will include the assessment of depressive and anxiety symptom severity, quality of life, functional impairment, therapeutic alliance, and the level of experiential avoidance. Individual exit interviews and focus groups will be conducted. The aim of the study: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of the training program 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of the low-intensity psychological intervention based on the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principle Hypotheses: It is hypothesised that the competency level of the training participants will increase after the intensive training block and the placement. It is also hypothesised that after receiving the low-intensity psychological intervention based on the ACT principle, the depression and anxiety scores, functioning impairment, and experiential avoidance level will reduce, and quality of life and therapeutic relationship will improve.
Pediatric anxiety upon induction of anesthesia is widely prevalent and can lead to negative patient psychological impact and hindrance to induction of anesthesia. Historically, premedication has been used as one means to improve pediatric preoperative anxiety and cooperation with induction. However, giving medication to children prior to surgery has drawbacks. Thus, other means have been proposed that may have similar benefits but fewer or different drawbacks. Recently, audiovisual distraction in the form of interactive games has been proposed. Such games have been in use at children's hospitals around the United States for more than five years. This study is a randomized trial that will explore using interactive games to improve pediatric perioperative anxiety in elective surgery compared with standard-of-care not including games. Perioperative anxiety with be evaluated using an observational scale.
During COVID-19 panic, we examined if educational digital video disk can reduce maternal uncertainty, anxiety and depression if their children undergo congenital heart disease surgery and when surgical or post-surgical complications occur. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' uncertainty and anxiety more after education, and until the day of discharge. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' uncertainty and anxiety more on the discharge day if their child had surgical or post-surgical complications.
