Filter by:Stress, anxiety, distress and depression are exceptionally high among healthcare providers at the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic. Knowledge of factors underlying distress and resilience and evidence based interventions to impact the mental wellbeing of frontline healthcare providers is limited. This study will evaluate a novel mobile platform to gather the "distress experience" of healthcare workers at Unity Health Toronto in real time during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, use automated personalized mobile interventions (e.g. routine, sleep, exercise) to nudge active/passive parameters to manage distress.
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a transdiagnostic intervention whose aim is to reduce experiential avoidance and promote psychological flexibility, which involves engaging in values-based behaviour while accepting painful internal experiences with openness and awareness. A growing body of research supports the efficacy of brief ACT for a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and stress. Given that ACT is a transdiagnostic intervention that targets the core processes related to human suffering, this treatment may be particularly useful for implementation in primary care with diverse groups of individuals and presentations. The objective of this study is to develop and pilot test a brief, virtual, group-based ACT intervention for depression and anxiety delivered in primary care settings to determine if a future randomized controlled trial of this group treatment is both warranted and feasible. The investigators will examine (1) the feasibility and acceptability of the study procedures, (2) clinician adherence to the treatment protocol, and (3) a preliminary analysis of the treatment effectiveness. A total of 3 groups (N = 30-45) will be conducted via three primary care clinics in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The group treatment will be delivered over four 90-minute sessions. Participants will complete assessment measures at pretreatment, post-treatment, and at two follow-up time points (1-month post-treatment and 3-6-months post-treatment). All assessments and treatment sessions will be conducted virtually via videoconferencing platform.
This study seeks to determine if music reduces pain and anxiety in comparison to routine pain control measures alone during insertion of intrauterine contraceptive devices (Mirena, Paragard)
This study aims to assess the impact of Isha Kriya, a freely available guided meditation, on mental health - specifically anxiety and depression.
The Covid-19 pandemic has generated, in the Latin American population, unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression and substance use associated with the diagnosis of the disease. Consequently, it has been pointed out that a moderating variable for the appearance of these psychological problems is high social and economic vulnerability. OBJECTIVE: To assess differences in psychological problems exposed to the diagnosis of Covid-19 by groups of countries with different incomes. METHODOLOGY: A non-experimental, correlational, prospective, double-blind, cross-sectional study was carried out using the CHERRIES methodological criteria and the sample was Latin American people. The scales used were for depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7) and substance use (ASSIST). Likewise, Latin American countries were classified by their income level according to the World Bank. Also, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and an ANOVA analysis of variance were performed, with Post Hoc test, with Bonferroni adjustment
Medical students have higher risks for depression, anxiety, burnout and suicide than the general population and they rarely seek professional help or treatment. The group treatment program "Training for Awareness, Resilience, and Action" (TARA) was originally developed to treat depressed adolescents, targeting specific neuroscientific findings. TARA has shown feasibility and preliminary efficacy in clinically depressed adolescents and corresponding brain-changes in mixed community samples. In the present study feasibility and acceptability of TARA in Swedish medical students are investigated. The design was a single-arm trial with twenty-three self-selected students in early semesters of medical school, with or without mental disorders. All received TARA. Self-reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, perceived stress and psychological inflexibility were collected before and after the intervention. Qualitative data on the participants' experiences of TARA was collected both in focus group interviews and individually during and after the intervention. The investigators hypothesized that 1. TARA would be feasible in medical students, 2. the content would be acceptable, 3. attendance and retention would be good, 4. trends towards improvement would be seen on the self-rating scales and 5. it would be possible and meaningful to explore the students experience of participating in TARA.
In this study, the effects of bed exercises on pain, anxiety, early ambulation and mobilization in major surgery patients were aimed. The research was experimental and a total of 120 patients participated. Data were collected using an information form, anxiety scale, and pain scale. Exercise was applied to the patients in the experimental group (15 minutes) and no intervention was applied to the control group. Descriptive statistics, correlation tests and t-test were used. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were checked for the scales.
Pain and anxiety are the most common complications after cesarean birth, and impair the mother's ability to optimally care for herself and her newborn. It is important for health care providers to evaluate options post-operatively to maximize symptom management and quality of care for these patients, including the option of complementary therapies such as Healing Touch (HT). This study examines the effects of HT after cesarean delivers , including the differences between pain (Numeric Rating Scale) and anxiety (Numeric Rating scale) through a Randomized Control Trial study design. The total sample size for the proposed study will include 160 participants. The study will include patients' age ≥18 years. Based on their randomization, the study coordinator at each site will schedule either 1) a Healing Touch (HT) practitioner for the intervention group OR 2) a non-HT practitioner who will collect data for the control group. HT practitioner will verify consent, then ask the woman to complete baseline measurements of pain and anxiety. Levels of pain and anxiety will be reassessed post-intervention.
This research was conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based mandala activity on the spiritual well-being and anxiety levels of senior nursing students in a parallel-group pretest-posttest randomized controlled study design. The required institutional permission and ethics committee approval was received. The study group of the study consisted of 170 senior nursing students (intervention group [n=84], control group [n=86]). Mindfulness-based mandala activity was applied to the intervention group via the zoom online program. Data were collected using the descriptive features form, the Spielberg Trait, and State Anxiety Inventory, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, and the scale of the positive-negative experience. The data were stored in the SPSS 24 program.
Stress, anxiety, and depression are common symptoms among public school teachers. Public school teachers are among the top professions reporting stress, anxiety, and depression. The causes are multifactorial and include work-related demands, challenges with students, limited resources, and compassion fatigue. Because of this, teachers are at risk of burnout and leaving or changing their profession. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a considerable impact on teachers due to disruptions in usual education delivery and ability to support students. Recent reports show poorer mental health and decreases in physical activity in teachers since the onset of the pandemic. Effective and implementable strategies are urgently needed to address poor mental health and to foster positive health characteristics in this population. Mindfulness programs decrease feelings of stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Additionally, mindfulness can improve self-compassion, which may be an important mediating factor in a teacher population. Prior work has shown an inverse relationship between self-compassion and burnout. Currently, there are few studies investigating whether building self-compassion can reduce burnout in public school teachers. The investigators will explore therelationship between participation in a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course and changes in burnout, self-compassion, and other whole person health measures in an educator population. The overall objective of this open pilot study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of an 8-week remote, group-based MBSR program delivered over Zoom for Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) personnel reporting elevated stress, anxiety, and/or depressive symptoms. Our pilot study results will contribute to the evidence on MBSR in a public-school employee population and inform strategies to optimize implementation of our remote MBSR program within the Vanderbilt Health at MNPS system.
