Filter by:Volunteers over the age of 18 who applied to the Neurology Outpatient Clinic of Dokuz Eylül University Hospital, who were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in the last three months, one month after the initiation of treatment and accepted the study, will be included in the study after their eligibility to the sampling criteria is evaluated. EDSS will be applied to the individuals by the specialist physician and they will be directed to the MS daycare unit. Since it is a randomized controlled experimental study, the sampling and follow-up measurements will be carried out by a psychologist in the unit where the study is applied, who does not carry out EFT. Scales will be applied in the daily unit and will be randomly divided into two groups at the beginning of the study. The psychologist who chooses the sampling will not know which group the participants will fall into, and the EFT practitioner will not know the anxiety, depression and psychological distress levels of the individuals participating in the study. EFT will be applied to one of the groups, and the other group will continue their routine treatment. Individuals with multiple sclerosis in the experimental group seven days at intervals, six sessions in which one session lasts 30-45 minutes will be included in the EFT application. SUDS will be applied before and after each EFT session. At the same time, resting heart rate and blood pressure will be measured in the EFT group before and after each session. Depression, anxiety and psychological distress levels of individuals with MS will be evaluated with HAD and SUDS at the beginning of the study, at the end of six sessions and in the first month.
This study will use the University of Washington's ALACRITY Center's (UWAC) Discover, Design, Build, & Test (DDBT) method to develop and test an intervention to address the mental health health needs of older adults in senior housing ("clients") who are forced to not only shelter-in-place but cannot have family or other visitors during this time. Older people (those over 60 years in age) are especially vulnerable and are more likely to have severe - even deadly - coronavirus infection than other age groups. These facts led to the need to have older adults socially isolate in order to protect their health; visits with family and friends are limited, and in senior housing (independent, supported and assisted care residences) have limited such visits by family to one person a day. This necessary practice of social distancing, while addressing an important public health crisis, unintentionally creates social isolation and loneliness, another deadly epidemic amongst the older population. Even before COVID-19, social isolation and loneliness was a prominent mental health and social problem in the aged, one that is associated with increases in other chronic conditions, dementia and suicide. Effective interventions for social isolation exist but are difficult to access and may not address all the concerns older adults have about this particular period of social isolation. The purpose of this proposed study is to deploy an adaptation of Behavioral Activation Therapy called Stay Connected to treat depression in older adults. The adaptation will allow activity directors and staff ("clinicians") in these settings and senior centers to deliver the therapeutic elements of the intervention (behavioral activation) in the context of social distancing/shelter-in-place policies. Social workers in these settings will oversee the activity director and staff delivery of the intervention. The investigators are working with a variety of senior housing types (HUD certified and private systems) and senior centers in Skagit county (rural) and King county (urban) in Washington (WA) so that the resulting intervention is not tied to economic levels or access to digital technology.
The primary objective of this study is to collect insights from first responders and military personnel on their need for, use of, and interest in physical and/or mental health medical marijuana or psychedelic-assisted therapy programs. These preliminary data will help to inform and guide the development of a larger patient-oriented study and the design of a clinical program geared towards enhancing therapy treatments for first responders and military personnel.
This study aims to evaluate in the Brazilian context, the impact of the implementation of a diary program on patient and family-centered outcomes after PICU discharge. The intervention investigated will be the use of hospital diaries for the critically ill child in a cross-over study, randomized by clusters in four PICUs of Rio de Janeiro. Family members of children aged 29 days to 12 years, admitted for more than 36 hours will be included and data collection will take place upon admission, at PICU discharge and 60 days after discharge from the PICU. Family-centered outcomes assessed will be: satisfaction with care, anxiety and depression at discharge, incidence of anxiety, depression, PTSD, burden and quality of life in follow-up. Patient-centered outcomes will be assessed in children at discharge and follow-up - quality of life and incidence of new morbidities will be evaluated. The association of clinical, social and demographic variables with family- and patient-centered outcomes will be investigated on an exploratory basis. Burnout Syndrome in PICU health professionals will be assessed before and after the intervention as a proxy of intervention security for PICU staff.
Distraction techniques, such as use of a virtual reality device, have been used to augment or replace pharmacological practices for relief of anxiety in pediatric patients prior to surgical procedures. This relief can not only benefit medical staff, as procedures may be easier to perform and require less time, but also have a calming effect on the the parent during the procedure if they feel that their child is being better cared for. In addition, decreased anxiety prior to surgical procedures have been shown to reduce maladaptive behaviors post-operatively. This prospective study plans to evaluate the anxiety level of parents and pediatric patients in an outpatient surgery center pre-, during and post-operatively with and without the use of a virtual reality distraction device. The goal is to determine the existence of correlations between distraction techniques (in this case, the use of handheld video games) pediatric patient anxiety, parental anxiety, and parental satisfaction with the experience surrounding the procedure.
Pre-operative anxiety is a major problem in children because it produces undesired results on induction and postoperative outcome. Dexmedetomidine is a highly specific alpha 2 adrenergic receptor agonist. Studies suggest that Dexmetomidine administration is safe as it is less invasive and have a short half-life. Paracetamol is a potent physical pain killer. It also reduces psychological reactivity and blunts physical and social pain. Adenotonsillectomy is one of the most common surgeries performed in pediatric age groups, so it is important to reduce pre-operative anxiety in those children.
The effectiveness study for Culturally-Adapted Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CA-CBI) will be conducted with individuals infected with and recovered from Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) to measure if this intervention is effective in decreasing the COVID-19 survivors' psychological distress. Potential participants will be given an informed consent and then, they will be included in a screening procedure to assess their eligibility. 86 participants (43 in experimental and 43 in control group-randomly assigned) who pass the screening procedure will be invited to the effectiveness study. The experimental group will receive an 8-session intervention while the control group will receive a brief psychoeducation about problems during COVID-19 pandemic and information about the freely available psychological support options. The measurements will be conducted three times; one week before, one week after and five weeks after the intervention.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), is the only movable joint between the joints in the head and neck system. It is a component of the chewing system and is involved in important functions such as speech, swallowing, taste and breathing. Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is the general name given to various musculoskeletal problems seen in the stomatognathic system, mostly affecting the masticatory muscles and/or TMJ. TMD is the second most common musculoskeletal pain after chronic low back pain. Patients with TMD may also complain of other musculoskeletal problems, craniocervical problems, sleep problems, and anxiety disorders. The aim of this study is to investigate, compare and examine the relationship between neck dysfunction, headache and temporomandibular dysfunction severity, anxiety and sleep quality in female individuals.
