The investigators will conduct a retrospective cohort analysis of a consumer trial conducted by Rae Wellness. The trial took place between October 15, 2020 and December 30, 2020 and involved 1350 U.S. women who used in-home use tests (IHUT) of various Cannabidiol (CBD) products. Participants were randomized to one of 9 groups: 8 groups received one of 8 different CBD products in the mail, and one group served as the control and did not consume any CBD product. The CBD products varied by method of delivery, concentration of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and dosage of CBD. Participants were asked to use the product once daily for 60 day and to complete health questionnaires at baseline, 30 days and 60 days.
Background: Research has shown that anxiety affects more than feelings. It also affects behavior. Researchers want to learn how the brain and body respond to unexpected threats. They want to see if probable pleasant or unpleasant events change decisions. Objective: To better understand how changes in anxiety are associated with changes in decision-making. Eligibility: Adults aged 18-50 with generalized anxiety disorder, seasonal affective disorder, or panic disorder. Healthy volunteers are also needed. Design: Participants will be screened under protocol #01-M-0254. Participants will complete surveys about their anxiety, risk-taking, and curiosity. Participants will complete a computer task. They will be given different choices. They will make a choice. They will receive an unpleasant or pleasant stimulus based on their choice. They will repeat this task many times. Most participants will do the task in the clinic. The unpleasant stimulus will be electric shock and acoustic startle. They will receive electric shocks through electrodes placed on their arm or fingers. They may hear loud noises through headphones. Their eyeblinks will be recorded with electrodes placed under their eye. Their heart rate and skin conductance activity will be collected with electrodes as well. Some healthy volunteers will do the task during a functional magnetic resonance imaging scan. They will lie on a table that slides in and out of a scanner. A coil will be placed over their head. The unpleasant stimulus will be electric shock, given as stated above. The scanner will record their brain activity. Their breathing and pulse rate will be recorded as well. Participation will last for 3-4 hours.
Psychological distress is commonly experienced by survivors of an intensive care admission, including patients treated during previous pandemics. Whilst data emerges about the short-term impact of COVID-19 on patients and healthcare systems, the long term impact remains unclear. The purpose of this trainee-led, multi-centre longitudinal study is to assess the short- and long-term psychological impact on patients who have survived an admission to intensive care due to COVID-19, and identify possible predictors of anxiety, depression and trauma symptoms in this patient group.
The purpose of this research study is to test whether an animal-assisted interaction (AAI) intervention is better than conversation with another person or treatment as usual for improving mood, anxiety, loneliness, quality of life, and indicators of health care services such as number of hospitalizations, length of hospital stay, and cost of services. Participants will be patients admitted for an inpatient stay at Virginia Commonwealth University Health who meet the study entry requirements.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of web-based progressive relaxation exercises applied to nurses working in a pandemic hospital on perceived stress and anxiety. In this randomized controlled clinical trial, nurses working in the pandemic hospital were randomly assigned to the control and intervention groups.
Magnetic resonance imaging is an important and increasingly prevalent imaging modality used in healthcare. Children often find the procedure anxiety provoking causing difficulty in staying still and providing quality images. The use of preparation techniques including play therapy and role play utilizing such tools as a fiberglass mock MRI have shown to reduce anxiety and facilitate better image quality. Modalities of preparation including Virtual Reality (VR) pose as an alternative to habituate children for a MRI procedure.
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by the inability of the heart to pump an adequate amount of blood. Heart failure affects patients' ability to carry out even simple activities of daily living and therefore has a negative psychological impact. Many studies reported that anxiety and depression are prevalent among HF patients and it is being associated with high morbidity, mortality and costs. Community HF patients who are diagnosed with depression are usually referred for Improving Access for Psychological Therapies (IAPT). The IAPT services have long waiting lists and many patients in the community still do not have access to IAPT. IAPT (2017) found web-based interventions for psychological therapies for emotional disorders such as depression and anxiety to be as effective as the traditional interventions and yielded positive mental health outcomes. In this current study, the feasibility and acceptability of the proposed COMPASS web-based intervention will be examined. COMPASS is a web-based therapy (online CBT program) designed for the management of depression and anxiety for patients with long term conditions such as heart failure. This study will be conducted into three parts and mainly include one-to-one interviews. First, the researcher will use an approach called "think aloud" which is a specific type of interview that allows us to observe the participant while using the proposed COMPASS online using Microsoft Teams. The participant will be asked to log into the COMPASS website and talk to the researcher continuously as possible about what they are thinking or what comes into their mind as they are using the COMPASS website. Following this interview, the researcher will ask the participant to use COMPASS from any internet-connected device for four weeks with weekly follow-up telephone calls. One month after the completion of COMPASS, the researcher will interview the participants.
A study will be conducted with a quantitative approach with correlational scope, observational analytical study, prospective cross-sectional. The objective is to compare the levels of anxious symptomatology, depressive symptomatology and substance use in university students who were exposed to SARS-CoV-2 with those who were not.
This research was conducted to examine the effect of sandplay activity on anxiety and well-being levels in patients in psychiatric clinics. The research was carried out in Isparta Süleyman Demirel University Psychiatric Clinic as a single-blind randomized controlled experimental study in the pre-test, final-test order between 2020-2021. Ethical permission was obtained from the Clinical Research Ethics Committee and application permission from the institution for pre-research. 63 patients (intervention-32 and control-31) selected by block randomization method formed the universe of the study. No intervention was applied to the control group. A preliminary test and a final test were performed two days apart, one hour apart on the first and fourth days. Two sessions of sandplay activity were applied to the intervention group with a decongest of two days, and each session was pre-tested. The data was collected using "The Personal Information Form", "The Spielberger Status Anxiety" inventory, and "Well-Being Star Scale" and also data showed normal distribution. In statistical analysis, T-Test, Chi-Square Test, pearson correlation test was used dependent and independent groups. For the purpose of the research, the hypotheses of the research are as follows:: 1. Hypothesis (H1): after intervention, anxiety levels of patients who underwent sandplay activity (in a psychiatric clinic) are lower than in the control grouproup 2. Hypothesis (H1): after intervention the level of well-being of patients undergoing sand play activity (in a psychiatric clinic) is higher than that of the control group. 3. Hypothesis (H1): there is a negative correlation between the level of anxiety and the level of well-being in psychiatric clinics who sandplay activity is practiced and not practiced. This research is Turkish language.
