Filter by:University students often experience emotional distress that originates from inside or outside academia, and for which treatment would be welcome. Research has shown that mindfulness can help people to reduce stress, anxiety and depression. Furthermore, a thinking style that focuses excessively on negative content (repetitive negative thinking; RNT) has consistently been found to be a mediator of the effects of mindfulness on decreasing stress, anxiety and depression. With this study, we want to 1) investigate the effects of mindfulness on stress, anxiety, depression, and RNT in Indonesian sample of undergraduate students and 2) investigate the mediating role of RNT.
Osteoarthrosis (OA) is a chronic, degenerative disease characterized by joint wear and tear. It is a major cause of pain, disability and decreased quality of life. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) represent an effective alternative for the treatment and pain control of patients with osteoarthritis. The "fast-track" program is translated as enhanced recovery or fast-track, and consists of the active participation of patients in their own recovery and immediate post-surgical mobilization, thanks to preoperative education through an educational workshop, the type of analgesia used and the empowerment of the patient in his or her own recovery. The problem of anxiety in the surgical patient and the role of nurses in it has been widely studied for some decades, as shown in the scientific literature. Our experience as professionals of a hospital unit of orthopedic surgery and traumatology shows us the reality of this situation and the investigators find that when discharging patients who have undergone surgery and are discharged after 24 hours, the patient almost globally manifests a series of expressions, behaviors or behaviors that are related to anxious behavior, a completely natural human response of a patient who does not know what he is going to face. This leads us to detect a need to reinforce the information provided at discharge and the accompaniment during the first weeks after discharge. Anxiety is a complex reaction to potentially dangerous situations or stimuli. It is an alarm signal that triggers a series of responses to cope with the situation. Anxiety is an emotional response that encompasses unpleasant cognitive aspects and physiological alterations that manifest themselves with high nervousness and even motor alterations. Surgery is perceived by the patient as an important stress factor that can translate into nervousness and anxiety. Anxiety is almost always present during surgery, to a greater or lesser degree, both preoperatively and postoperatively. Several studies have shown that good preoperative information reduces preoperative and postoperative anxiety. Patients need information about their process since dispelling their doubts will minimize anxiety. Currently there is very little information on anxiety during the whole surgical process. Therefore, in the present project the investigators propose to carry out a research study to analyze whether nursing intervention has beneficial results in the surgical patient.
The goal of this is a randomized controlled intervention study. The study was carried out to determine the effect of nebulization treatment applied to 3-6-year-old children with a soundproof, music player and figured mask nebulizer on the child's anxiety during the procedure. The study was completed with 120 children who were admitted to the emergency room and would receive inhalation therapy. There are 3 groups in the study. These were intervention group 1 using sound-insulated music and nebulizer with figured mask, intervention group 2 using silent nebulizer, and control group using nebulizer used in routine.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test an app-based mindfulness training program in an Afro-descendant population. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What changes, if any, does the app need? - Is it effective in reducing anxiety among this population? Participants will be asked to: - Use an app-based mindfulness training program daily - Complete online surveys at baseline and 2 months post-treatment initiation - Complete focused interviews via Zoom at baseline and 2 months post-treatment initiation - Complete daily voice diaries via Zoom
Individuals diagnosed with autism are also often diagnosed with anxiety disorders. Therefore, having useful strategies to manage stress and anxiety may be particularly helpful for autistic individuals. Mindfulness-based interventions, delivered in-person as well as those offered remotely online, have been found to lower stress and anxiety. Although in-person mindfulness training has been found to be helpful for autistic individuals, there is little research that has studied remote app-based mindfulness training in autistic adults. This study examines whether a six-week structured intervention, using a mindfulness app, lowers anxiety and stress in autistic adults. Participants were randomly assigned either to an intervention group, which started the intervention immediately, or a wait-list control group, which participated in the same intervention program six-weeks later. Findings will provide important information about the potential for remote app-based mindfulness training to lower stress and anxiety in adults diagnosed with autism.
The goal of this prospective, randomized controlled study was to inverstigate the effect of humor on pain and in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) during IV treatment. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - to compare the effect of humor on pain between two groups of patients with RA who watched a comedy movie (intervention group) and who did not (control group) during IV biological therapy. - to compare the effect of humor on anxiety between two groups of patients with RA who watched a comedy movie (intervention group) and who did not (control group) during IV biological therapy. Participants in the intervention group watched a comedy movie during routine IV biologic treatment in the chemotherapy unit, while the control group received only routine IV biologic treatment as a usual care.
This research was planned to examine the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction program applied to parents with autistic children on the level of depression, anxiety, stress and hopelessness.
When the literature was reviewed, many studies were found in which various non-pharmacologic interventions such as reflexology, music therapy, slow and deep breathing exercises, relaxation exercises and cold application were examined in the control of pain associated with chest tube removal. However, a limited number of studies have examined the effect of acupressure on the control of pain caused by chest tube removal; there are no studies in which LI4, LI11 and HT7 acupressure points were used and anxiety level and hemodynamic variables were examined along with procedural pain. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acupressure on procedural pain, anxiety and hemodynamic variables after chest tube removal after open heart surgery.
This quantitative study assesses the baseline anxiety, satisfaction with life, and loneliness scores in students and staff in a global study. Assessments at baseline will include the GAD, SWLS, and UCLA loneliness scale, and the same questionnaires were collected in Week 4 and Week 8. The Google form questionnaire will ask the high schoolers and staff for their email address and their parent's email address (if they are under 18). The form will also include a question eliciting interest in participation in the 4-weeks Heartfulness program. The program will include tools that promote a heart-based nurturing environment focusing on relaxation, positivity, and developing growth mindsets.
Undergraduate students partook in an augmented, brief, online mindfulness and self-compassion-based program (Mind-OP+) to facilitate perceptions of connectedness. Participants were randomized into Mind-OP+ or waitlist control groups. It is hypothesized that connectedness at baseline will be negatively associated with mental health symptoms (depression, anxiety) and stress, and positively associated with self-compassion and dispositional mindfulness. Further, it is predicted that participants in the Mind-OP+ group will experience increases in connectedness compared with participants in the waitlist control condition. This study could provide support for a brief, convenient program to increase perceived connectedness, and thereby provide an option for students seeking protective factors for mental health and general resiliency.
