Filter by:FOREST is a positive emotion skills program designed to target mental health and coping needs for frontline violence prevention workers at READI Chicago. Ten skills are taught over a period of nine months during existing meetings and wellness activities, as well as in online modules in READI's Learning Management System (LMS). Through infusing the FOREST skills throughout READI, we hope to inspire organizational culture change that will emphasize the importance of wellbeing and enhance resilience, therefore reducing burnout and turnover.
A randomized control trial will be conducted in Assuta Ashdod hospital, in the department of obstetrics and gynecology. Pregnant and non pregnant women, undergoing one of the procedures (external cephalic version,amniocentesis or hysteroscopy), will be approached. All willing patients meeting the criteria will sign an informed consent form will. After signing informed consent patients will be randomly allocated into three groups:1) control (no use of VR). 2) use of VR googles without positive psychology. 3) use of VR googles with positive psychology. Before and after the procedure each group will answer pain and anxiety questionnaires. In addition, following, following each procedure, salivary cortisol levels will be measured.
The purpose of the project is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of the internet-delivered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy treatment (I-Navigator ACT) for parents who experience stress, distress, depression or anxiety that may be associated with being a parent of a child with disabilities. The project consists of three studies: Study 1: An open feasibility trial in which parents participate in an individual, clinician-supported internet-delivered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy treatment. Study 2: A randomized controlled trial in which participants are randomly assigned either: 1. Navigator ACT group treatment, where parents participate in an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group together with other parents, led by two group leaders, or 2. I-Navigator ACT internet-delivered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy treatment, where the parent participates on their own, coached by a clinician via a message function. Study 3: A qualitative study in which a smaller sample of parents from the open feasibility trial participate in semi-structured interviews. The interviews take place after the parents have completed I-Navigator ACT. All three studies are conducted in a clinical health care context.
This study aims to assess whether adding vibrotactile stimulation to visual and auditory stimulation increases the efficacy of VRET for FoF treatment. Eighty-four participants (18-65 years old) will be assigned to one of three intervention arms, namely the VRET with multimodal feedback (visual, auditory, and vibrotactile; VRET-M), the VRET with bimodal feedback (visual and auditory; VRET-B), or the imagery exposure treatment (IET) without sensory feedback. FoF-related symptoms (primary outcomes) will be measured administering the Fear of Flying Questionnaire-II (QPV-II), the Fear of Flying Scale (FFS), and the Visual Analogic Scale (VAS-A) before and after eight sessions of treatment, and at six- and 12-month follow-ups. Anxiety and the sense of presence experienced during exposure sessions (secondary outcome measures: VAS-A and VAS-P) will also be assessed. It is expected that participants in the VRET-M group will report a further reduction of FoF-related symptomatology after the treatment and at follow-ups compared to participants in the VRET-B and IET groups. Likewise, participants in the VRET-M group are expected to show higher sense of presence levels during exposure sessions in comparison to participants in the VRET-B and IET groups. It is expected that the IET group will report the lowest level of sense of presence and the poorest outcome after treatment and at follow-ups.
Pain in young children has been universally under-recognized due to their inability to describe or localize pain. Improvements in pharmacological interventions are necessary to optimize patient and family experience and allow for successful and efficient procedure completion. This is the first study that will compare three intranasal medications (Intranasal Midazolam, Dexmedetomidine, and Ketamine) to evaluate the length of stay after medication administration along with patient and provider satisfaction. The objective of this study is to demonstrate superior intranasal anxiolysis for pediatric laceration repairs with the shortest emergency department stay and highest patient and provider satisfaction. Based on previous studies and medication pharmacokinetics, we hypothesize that Intranasal Ketamine will have the shortest Emergency Department (ED) stay followed by Midazolam and then Dexmedetomidine with the longest stay; however, Dexmedetomidine will have the highest patient and provider satisfaction followed by Ketamine and then Midazolam.
Objective: This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of stress ball on symptom severity, quality of life, depression, anxiety and stress in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Material and Method: The data of the randomized controlled experimental study will be collected at the gastroenterology outpatient clinic of Erzurum City Hospital. A simple randomization list was created with the Random Allocation Software program and it will be carried out with a total of 56 patients diagnosed with IBS, including 28 experimental and 28 control groups. Patients in the experimental group were asked to squeeze the stress ball for at least 10 minutes every day for 4 weeks. No treatment will be applied to those in the control group. Patient information form, IBS symptom severity score, IBS quality of life scale, Depression-Anxiety-Stress scale will be used to collect research data.

This research study aims to assess the feasibility of conducting a full scale trial of Mamas in Harmony, a group music and social support class delivered by a professional musician for mothers and their babies. Classes for Mamas in Harmony run for 1 hour each week for 8 weeks at a community venue with 10-12 mothers and babies in each class. The aim of this study is to conduct a pilot randomised controlled trial and process evaluation to assess recruitment rate, retention rate, adherence rate to the study protocol, attendance rate for the intervention, completion rate of outcome measurement tools, acceptability of the intervention, and barriers/facilitators for study participation and intervention delivery. This feasibility study aims to recruit 60 mothers and babies. Forty will be randomly allocated to the intervention group of Mamas in Harmony and receive standard postnatal care and twenty will receive standard postnatal care only, as the control group. All mothers will be asked to complete study questionnaires at three time points over a 6 month period to assess their mental health and wellbeing and bonding with their baby. Mothers will also be asked if they wish to share their opinions and experiences about the research study and Mamas in Harmony classes (if they were allocated to that group) in an interview, to provide their thoughts, whether anything made it easy/difficult for them to participate and whether they have any suggestions on how to improve the study procedure. The musician will also be asked for their experiences on the barriers and facilitators of intervention delivery.
Insomnia is a disorder characterized by both nocturnal and daytime symptoms. The main symptoms are unsatisfactory sleep quality or duration, accompanied by difficulty falling asleep before bedtime, frequent or prolonged awakenings, or an inability to fall back asleep after waking in the early morning. Our previous investigation has confirmed that during the period of home isolation of the epidemic, the community people suffered from acute insomnia induced by the epidemic. In order to comprehensively, efficiently and scientifically respond to major public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 epidemic and its long-term impact, it is necessary to carry out in-depth and systematic research on insomnia related issues of medical staff under the COVID-19 epidemic. In summary, insomnia is a widespread problem among medical staff during the epidemic, which greatly reduces the work efficiency of medical staff and damages their physical and mental health. Without timely and effective early identification and effective intervention, allowing the disease to continue to develop will bring a series of concurrent diseases, threaten the lives of medical staff and bring a series of negative social effects. At the same time, the diagnosis and intervention of large-scale acute insomnia for medical staff under the epidemic face some scenario limitations, and it is necessary to consider the spread of the virus to reduce direct contact. Especially for some medical staff in isolation, it is more difficult to implement face-to-face evaluation, diagnosis and treatment. Under the COVID-19 pandemic, there are two main contradictions in the acute insomnia of medical staff. The first is the lack of a diagnostic cloud platform based on artificial intelligence for large-scale acute insomnia. The second is the lack of an effective remote intervention for acute insomnia suitable for the epidemic scenario. Based on the results and deficiencies of the previous research, this project intends to further study and improve in three aspects. First, a large-scale and more accurate artificial intelligence-based automatic screening and diagnosis model research was carried out in combination with CPC equipment for acute insomnia screening of medical staff under the epidemic situation. The second is to use epidemic insomnia acute insomnia CPR to intervene the acute insomnia and other psychiatric symptoms of medical staff on a large scale and verify its effectiveness through follow-up. Third, for the epidemic scenario, further build an intelligent screening and remote intervention system platform for acute insomnia for the majority of medical staff, and continue to provide an assessment, intervention and consultation platform for medical staff under the epidemic. Therefore, in order to comprehensively cope with the increase in the incidence of acute insomnia among medical staff under the COVID-19 epidemic and its resulting disease, social and economic burden, we should pay attention to the mental health of medical staff in the first-level key susceptible population, and improve the response experience of major public health emergencies in the future. This project aims to establish a portable and efficient artificial intelligent-based diagnosis cloud platform method and remote intervention system for medical staff with acute insomnia under the epidemic situation, which is suitable for large-scale development. Based on the data collected by portable devices and electronic scales, a risk assessment model for acute insomnia and other psychiatric symptoms of medical staff in the epidemic situation is constructed, and effective intervention is carried out on this basis. To promote the establishment of a comprehensive prevention and treatment system for insomnia after the epidemic, comprehensively carry out systematic work from multiple perspectives, improve mental health, summarize and form China's experience in dealing with major public emergencies, and promote it internationally, so as to reduce the impact and loss caused by the COVID-19 epidemic on a global scale.
This study compares the use of virtual Reality versus the usual service protocol for the management of anxiety and pain related to In-Vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure
Children are prone to anxiety and even fear before surgery, and such adverse emotions may not only lead to poor induction of anesthesia, but also increase the incidence of postoperative agitation and even lead to postoperative behavioral changes in children. There are many ways to relieve pediatric anxiety, including preoperative medication, games, and cartoons. Preoperative medication is the most commonly used method to relieve pediatric anxiety.The most commonly used pediatric preoperative sedation drugs are midazolam and esketamine.However, oral midazolam may not produce a sedative effect in 20-40% of patients. A good preoperative anxiety-reducing effect was seen in only 60-80% of cases.Therefore, this trial investigates whether the intranasal combination of esketamine with oral midazolam can produce better results than each of the two drugs alone. This will provide a reference for the selection of safe, reliable and appropriate preoperative sedation methods for pediatric patients and provide evidence-based support for comfort care.
