Indigenous youth in Northwestern Ontario who need mental health supports experience longer waits than non-Indigenous youth within the region and when compared to youth in other more urban areas. Limited access and extended waits can exacerbate symptoms, prolong distress, and increase risk for more serious outcomes. Transitional aged youth (i.e., those in their mid-late teens to early twenties) are a particularly vulnerable group. Novel, innovative approaches are urgently needed to provide support for Indigenous youth in Northwestern Ontario. In partnership with Dilico Anishinabek Family Care, the investigators are evaluating the impact of a mental health app (JoyPop) as a tool for Indigenous transitional-aged youth who are waiting for mental health services. The JoyPop app was developed to support improved emotion regulation - a key difficulty for youth presenting with mental health challenges. A two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the app compared to usual practice while Indigenous transitional-aged youth are waiting for mental health services.
The goal of this observational study is to learn the impact of race, ethnicity, and language matched peer support groups on parental stress, anxiety, and sense of belonging for families who have or have had an infant hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The main questions aim to answer: Do race, ethnicity, and language matched peer support groups decrease parental stress and anxiety and improve sense of belonging of parents while their baby is hospitalized in the NICU? And, are there any changes that should be made to the format of the peer support group sessions? Participants will be invited to attend a peer support group that is matched for race, ethnicity, and language. Participants will have the option of filling out a survey on stress, anxiety, and sense of belonging before and after the peer group session. Additionally, participants will have the option of filling out a satisfaction survey after the peer group session.
Thymus vulgaris could potentially serve as a safer alternative to stimulant drugs for enhancing memory among university students. Furthermore, Thymus vulgaris may offer additional benefits in terms of reducing anxiety, depression, and improving sleep quality. However, it should be noted that the current research on the effects of orally administered Thymus vulgaris on the brain and nervous system is limited, and further studies are required to fully explore its potential advantages. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of oral Thymus vulgaris on memory performance, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality in university students.
Dexmedetomidine is a drug known for its pain-relieving and restlessness-reducing effects. The purpose of this run is to use the association between this use during surgery and the attrition of post-operative pain and discomfort. In the research, laboratory and monitoring results will be obtained before, during and after the operation. Postoperative patient complaints will be evaluated at the postoperative service visit. This study is decided on a completely voluntary basis.
This study aimed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a video-based CBT guided self-help intervention 'Khushi or Khatoon' to treat anxiety and depression.
If we examine the demographic data of the 2021 reports of the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK), we can see that the young population between the ages of 15 and 24 is 12,971,289 people, which is 15.3% of the total population. Considering the proportion of young population in our country, the evaluation of physical activity level has an important place, while the proportion of female university students who achieved sufficient physical activity level according to the scoring of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (UFAA) was 8.5%, while the proportion of male students was 28.1% in previous studies (Arslan 2015). ). We know from previous studies that achieving an adequate level of physical activity directly reduces the body mass index and indirectly reduces the cardiovascular risk associated with obesity (Swift 2018). Exercise reduces depression levels and the effects of depression. Although the neural mechanisms are not very clear, there are some predictions for physical exercise to reduce the level of depression (Gujral 2017). The hippocampus is an important cognitive and sensory centre, and it has been reported that hippocampal volume decreases by 5% in depressed individuals (Cole 2011). Hippocampal volume has been reported to increase rapidly with exercise (Bugg 2012). The brain region most affected in major depressive disorder is the prefrontal cortex. After the prefrontal cortex is affected, symptoms such as negative affect and learned helplessness appear (Pizagalli 2021). Experimental studies in mice have shown that treadmill training creates new synaptic pathways in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus (Mu 2022). Another brain region affected by depression is the corpus striatum. Loss of corpus striatum volume is observed in patients with major depression (Zhang 2020). The volume of the corpus striatum modulates when physical exercise reaches a sufficient level. (Rotttensteiner 2015). Adequate levels of physical activity not only reduce depression, but also prevent neural dysfunction that can occur as a result of depression. However, young people do not get enough exercise. Based on this fact, we believe that it is necessary to use 3D virtual reality applications to increase physical activity levels and exercise motivation. The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of virtual reality training on balance, depression, anxiety and stress parameters in healthy young people.
In the light of technological developments, learner-centered methods have begun to replace traditional teaching methods. Simulation applications are increasing in order to ensure patient safety and improve the quality of care in the training of nurses. Virtual reality, which is one of the simulation applications, is defined as an interactive, fun and virtual environment with three-dimensional visual feedback consisting of different sensory stimuli, where computer software and hardware are used together. When the studies on virtual reality, which is seen as a treatment, care and education tool in health care services, are examined; It is seen that virtual reality is mostly used in the teaching of some basic skills and in the education of nursing/medical students. From this point of view, in this project, which was submitted to the proposal, it was aimed to develop a virtual reality software for the care management of the intensive care patient and to investigate the effect of this software on the new intensive care nurses. Nurses to be included in the study will be randomly assigned to the control (n=34) and study groups (n=34). The research will be carried out in the following steps: 1) According to Kolcaba's Comfort Theory, the patient case scenario including the care management of the intensive care patient will be prepared and transferred to the virtual reality software, 2) The nurses in both groups will be given theoretical training on the care management of the intensive care patients, 3) The nurses forming the control group will be given theoretical training. A routine orientation training program will be given, and virtual reality glasses will be applied to the study group 4) "Knowledge Level Questionnaire", "Clinical Practice Skill Observation Form", "Problem Solving" before the theoretical training, 1 week after the application and in the first month of the application for both groups. Inventory", "Clinical Decision Making Scale in Nursing", "State Anxiety Inventory" and "Satisfaction Level Questionnaire" will be applied. With the software planned to be developed within the scope of the project, it is predicted that patient comfort and quality of life in intensive care will increase by providing rapid orientation to the clinic of the new intensive care nurses and increasing their clinical practice, problem solving and clinical decision making skills.
The goal of this multicenter randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of music prehabilitation on preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing elective oncological colorectal resection. Patients will be asked to listen to music three times a day starting one week before day of surgery. Anxiety levels will be compared with the control group that is not explicitly instructed to listen to music by using validated questionnaires
Patient frequently report experiencing discomfort associated with cystoscopy or urodynamic studies (UDS), and a small percentage of patients refuse these important procedures due to discomfort or fear of discomfort. Heating pads are an inexpensive and low-risk way to reduce patient discomfort during these procedures, which to our knowledge has not been investigated in the United States.
