Abdominal surgeries are those in which pain is felt severely due to the incision close to the diaphragm and an intensive neural network in the abdominal area. If the patient's post-operative pain is not controlled; Since it will restrict patient mobility, it can cause problems on many systems such as the pulmonary, cardiovascular and neuroendocrine system, and even suppress the immune system. Surgical intervention decision can cause anxiety in individuals regardless of the type of surgical procedure. Fear of anesthesia, fear of death, possibility of developing complications after surgery, pain, change in daily life activities, loss of social life and loss of control can lead to anxiety. In addition to all these, factors such as pain, fear, anxiety that stimulate the sympathetic nervous system can increase the pulse rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate. Reiki, a complementary and alternative medicine (TAT) method, is a bioenergy based on the energy use of the body and has been used in various cultures for centuries in preventing and treating some diseases. Reiki is thought to help balance the body's natural energetic systems and reduce anxiety by transferring the available energy through hands. During Reiki, the activity of the parasympathetic system increases, pain and anxiety decrease. Thus, the patient's complaints are reduced by providing early discharge with possible complications after surgery. Studies on the effectiveness of reiki, which is increasing worldwide use and recommended as a treatment approach for health services, are insufficient. The aim of this study, which is planned as a three-group interventional randomized control, is to examine the effect of reiki application on patients' negative reflections on pain, anxiety, fear and vital signs, which is the major surgery type in which patients experience the most pain.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of psilocybin therapy for depression and anxiety in people with Parkinson's disease.
The important role of Emotion Regulation (ER) in managing stress and anxiety is well recognized. Aims: 1) assessing the level of anxiety, and the level of difficulties in emotion regulation (DER) among University Students during COVID-19, 2) investigating the effect of the emotional regulation training program on the anxiety of University Students during the COVID-19. Methods: Part I, students will be assessed for their anxiety, DER, and the general impact of COVID-19 on their lives. The students will complete Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Part II will be a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) using a pre-assessment and a post-assessment. A voluntary sample of students will randomly assigned to either a group that will receive emotion regulation training or a control group. The training program is an adapted version of DBT skills training. The training program will include mindfulness, emotion regulation, and problem-solving skills through eight 90- min group sessions.
The purpose of this study is to preliminarily evaluate a web-based app to improve provider implementation and patient engagement in homework (i.e., between-session practice of skills learned during therapy) during child mental health treatment by conducting a small-scale feasibility trial in community practice settings comparing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to CBT enhanced with the app.
Chronic kidney failure (CRF) is an important health problem in the world and in our country. The use of hemodialysis as a treatment method has prolonged the life span of individuals with CRF; challenging and long treatment processes make the individual at risk for mental illnesses. It is an inevitable need to carry out psychosocial interventions to protect and improve the mental health of individuals, to ensure their adaptation to treatment processes, and to support them in coping with the difficulties they encounter. It is predicted that hope-focused motivational interviewing, which is a hope-enhancing intervention based on Snyder's Hope Theory, will be effective for individuals with low hope levels. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the protocol suitability of the research. This study is a single blind, randomized controlled trial. The universe of the research will consist of 44 individuals coming for treatment in the Hemodialysis Unit. The study will be carried out in the Hemodialysis Clinic between September 2021 and December 2022. Within the scope of the protocol, a preliminary application was made with two individuals. Research data will be obtained by using sociodemographic data form, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Continuous Hope Scale. In the study, it was planned to apply hope-focused motivational interviews to the experimental group as one-hour sessions per week with face-to-face interviews for 8 weeks, while no intervention was made to the control group. Each session has goals and assignments for goals. Within the scope of the study, a hope tree will be created for everyone together with the patients to be used in the evaluation process of the interview sessions. Through the hope tree, it is aimed for the individual to set goals and discover the obstacles and solutions in reaching these goals. At the end of 8 weeks, the final test will be applied to the experimental and control groups. Following the post-test application, follow-up is planned at the end of the first month. The pre-application of the eight-week application protocol created for the purpose was made with two individuals. As a result of the preliminary application, it was observed that the stress, anxiety and depression levels of the individuals decreased and their hope levels increased. As a result of the preliminary application, it was concluded that the steps of the prepared application protocol were suitable for the study in line with the purpose determined with this patient group, and the protocol was transferred to the application phase as it was. It is thought that the results obtained from the research will contribute to the literature.
With the COVID-19 pandemic completely altering the landscape of higher education, students have been experiencing more stress than ever. With Harvard University's plan for students to return to campus for the 2021-2022 academic year, offering an online mental health program such as StriveWeekly could provide students with stress management support as they transition back after 1.5 years of remote learning. This study will use a randomized controlled trial design to test the effectiveness of a waitlist versus StriveWeekly. This study will allow us to test if a program that has previously demonstrated effectiveness with university students in reducing anxiety and depression symptoms will still be effective after the unprecedented amount of stressors during a global pandemic. Primary aim: We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of StriveWeekly in preventing or reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. The use of a waitlist condition will allow us to experimentally assess if the online intervention is responsible for decreasing / preventing worsened anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms over time. Given the previously established effectiveness of StriveWeekly as an indicated prevention program, we expect students in the intervention condition to experience significantly better symptoms compared to the waitlist from baseline to posttest. Alternatively, if the transition back from remote learning and/or the broad pandemic context interferes with the acceptability or effectiveness of StriveWeekly, then we might expect to see little to no significant differences between the online intervention condition and waitlist condition from baseline to posttest. Secondary aims include: (a) testing moderators of intervention effectiveness and (b) evaluating the intervention in terms of acceptability (e.g., feedback on program name; demographically representativeness of student user sample; satisfactory adherence and satisfaction rates). Exploratory moderation analyses across groups will help determine whether or not the intervention condition produces unique or additive effects for students with certain characteristics over and above changes demonstrated by similar students in the waitlist condition. Acceptability analyses will allow for more nuanced evaluation of StriveWeekly's effectiveness as a program, beyond its ability to facilitate symptom reduction.
Introducing restrictions on human contact has been effective in preventing the uncontrolled spread of COVID-19, however, it appears to have negatively impacted mental health. Psychological problems in different age groups occur with different intensity and duration of the pandemic. This study was aimed to assess the impact of introducing distance learning (e-Learning) on the stress levels and mental well-being among Polish, Slovak and Lithuanian Students.
Portugal has the highest benzodiazepine utilization compared to other European countries. The high utilization of benzodiazepines has been a concern due to reported side effects of long-term use and dependence. Also, these data demonstrate that doctors are possibly choosing an inadequate treatment to manage anxious and depressive syndromes. This research aims to develop and implement in primary health care units an online educational program, following a cluster randomized study design; to study the impact of this educational program for changing general practitioner's benzodiazepine prescription pattern; to analyze of barriers and facilitators to the implementation of the e-PrimaPrescribe program.
