Filter by:The aim of the study was to examine the effects of the emotional freedom technique and virtual reality glasses applied to individuals receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the first time on anxiety and vital signs. The hypotheses of this research are that there is a difference between the emotional liberation technique and virtual reality glasses groups and the control group in terms of anxiety and vital signs.
Depression and anxiety are the most prevalent mental disorders among both the general population and young adults, and transdiagnostic treatments for these patients are mostly based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Based on common (transdiagnostic) principles of treatment (e.g., emotional exposure), these approaches have proliferated and demonstrated their efficacy in comparison to disorder-specific treatments. Although there are a few transdiagnostic approaches for children and adolescents, it was not possible to not find anyone targeting young people. For this reason, the investigators proposed the Identity-Based Transdiagnostic Therapy (IBTT) as a new treatment modality ideally created to address the challenge of improving the outcomes of psychotherapy for young adults with anxiety and/or depression. The IBTT is a psychological treatment for emotional disorders specifically designed for the youths in terms of their attitudes to treatment (attractiveness, engagement), and highly personalized to their construal of self and others. This project will allow testing the hypothesis that a novel brief psychotherapeutic intervention, IBTT, will be more efficacious in the treatment of the anxiety and/or depression of young adults than the well-established CBT-based Unified Protocol.
The purpose of this study is to explore whether an implementation process composed of offering CR to staff in a single hospital nursing unit has any potential impact on unit-level quality measures post-implementation.
This 12-week pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a dietary intervention targeting diet, obesity, mental health, and the gut microbiome in promoting weight loss and enhancing mental health among obese men and women aged 30-50. Participants, excluding those with specific medical conditions, will be randomly assigned to either an intervention or control group using a meal planning smartphone app. Clinical assessments will include anthropometry, mental health questionnaires, dietary recalls, and stool sample collections. The study's endpoints include program retention, adherence, changes in body weight, mental health, and gut microbiome diversity. Statistical analyses will evaluate intervention effects and the potential mediating roles of the gut microbiome. This pilot study has implications for health policies, public healthcare, digital health companies, and the biotech and pharmacology industries. Future plans involve a large-scale intervention study in multiple countries with ongoing collaborations.
Drug addiction is a public health problem, mainly youths are involved in the addiction and the major reason were due to peer pressure. Spiritual meditation is thought to foster a deeper sense of meaning, which creates new sources of positive reinforcement, increasing motivation for alternative behavior patterns, such as entering treatment or maintaining abstinence. Cluster Randomized Control Trial will be performed for 1-year period where mixed method study design will be performed. The major variables will be Anxiety and depression score, Happiness index, Quality of life, Rate of Relapse, Age, Gender, Occupation, Education, Income, Family Size, Family Income, Family support, Social status- High/Middle/Low, History of drug use self, Types of drugs, Duration of usage: Reason of drug use, how they have started, Amount of drugs, Frequency of use, Family history of drug use, Money spent on drugs per month. A modified validated Questionnaire will be used. CRCT will be done by CONSORT Guidelines. A total of 160 samples will be taken, (40 from each center, two were given Meditation intervention and 80 were given standard treatment as a control group) and 16 qualitative interviews will be taken (4 from each center). The intervention will be given for 3 months, for 6 days one hour per day Rajyoga meditation basic course will be provided, followed by a 1-hour daily spiritual lesson, Positive thinking and motivation classes will be provided to the intervention group, and in the control group standard treatment will be given. Follow-up will be done after 1 month of discharge from the rehabilitation centers. Ethical clearance will be taken from the Ethical Review Board (ERB) of the Nepal Health Research Council (NHRC). This study will be useful for developing policy and practice in rehabilitation centers to apply the technique of Rajyoga Meditation in relapse prevention.
This trial will assess the safety, feasibility, acceptability, usability and agreement with validated scales of an automated mood monitoring App (TrueBlue), in adult, perinatal participants (recruited between 12 weeks of pregnancy and 12 weeks post-partum), recruited across multiple sites in Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom (UK). An initial within-study pilot phase will assess key aspects of the study including recruitment rate, usability issues and a detailed understanding of any device related adverse events; prior to full recruitment of a total 125 participants over a total 14-month period.
In the management of patients with noncarious cervical lesions (NCCL), we observe that they frequently present signs of anxiety, traumatic brushing, bruxism or eating disorders. These multifactorial and interrelated etiologies make diagnosis and management difficult. Furthermore, in the literature, there is a lack of studies that evaluate the relationship between these risk factors and NCCL. A better understanding of the etiology and risk factors would help to optimize patient management and direct patients to the most appropriate therapies.
Men with prostate cancer and their family caregivers face many physical and emotional challenges from the cancer itself and its treatment(s), which often lead to high anxiety. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of protecting our physical and mental health, and the complex responsibilities that caregivers have in supporting their loved ones. To improve the health of men with prostate cancer and of their caregivers, the research team developed TEMPO: a self-directed Tailored, wEb-based, psychosocial and physical activity self-Management PrOgram. TEMPO was developed with men with prostate cancer and their caregivers over the past 8 years. It also combines the investigators' research conducted over the past decade on providing the best support to those affected by cancer. Because the cancer care workforce is already overstretched, the research team designed TEMPO to be used without guidance from a health care professional. TEMPO is one-of-a kind in its support of both patients and caregivers, and the integration of coping skills training on a wide range of cancer challenges along with a home-based exercise program. Patients and caregivers who have used TEMPO said they improved their communication, learned new skills to cope with both physical and emotional challenges of cancer, and increased their physical activity. The present project builds on this work to further evaluate the cost and impact of TEMPO on men's and caregivers' health. Men with prostate cancer and their caregivers will be assigned by chance to one of two groups a) TEMPO or b) monitor their anxiety for 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, patients' and caregivers' needing more support will be identified based on an assessment of their anxiety level. For those already using TEMPO and needing more support, non-health care professional guidance might be offered. All those in the monitoring group needing more support will now have access to TEMPO. All participants complete surveys to determine whether TEMPO led to improved health outcomes.
The aim of this research would be to determine the efficacy and effects of preoxygenation when performed by the patient (mask held by the patient). This is the concept of "self-preoxygenation".
This study tests a suite of single-session intervention (SSI) targeting risk factors for depression and eating disorders among adolescents and young adults. Youth ages 13-25 who screen positive for depression or anxiety as a part of routine care will be offered one of three digital SSIs. Participants will complete questionnaires before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and 3-months after completing the intervention so that the study team can investigate if Project YES leads to reductions in depression, anxiety and eating disorder symptoms.
