The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about moderate-intensity indoor cycling interventions in women's sport student-athletes transitioning into college and collegiate sport. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Aim 1: Establish preliminary feasibility for the intervention based on recruitment and retention rates. Aim 2: Assess efficacy through comparison of pre- and post-intervention mental health outcomes scores between experimental and control groups. Exploratory Aim 3: Explore associations between exercise, athletic, and academic identities and mental health issues post-intervention. Participants will complete an online questionnaire. This online questionnaire will be given before the program begins and after the 4 weeks. The questionnaire will ask about the participants' basic information, the participants' experience with exercise, and the participants' transition experience including mental, physical, and social factors. Participants will be asked to attend an in-person 45-minute exercise class once a week at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) Student Recreation Center. Participants enrolled in the program will be asked to complete a self-report form during each weekly practice including heart rate (before and after practice) and ratings of perceived exertion. Heart rate will be measured during practice, smart devices (i.e., Apple Watch, FitBit) are not required.
In this study, the investigators will test the effectiveness of a digital, low intensity mental health intervention in depressed individuals. There will be two conditions: the Common Elements Toolbox- Behavioral Activation (COMET-BA) intervention and a waiting list control group. COMET-BA will include 4 weekly modules which will focus on elements of behavioral activation, including positive activity scheduling, avoidance, values, and change plans. A similar intervention, was previously tested in an online worker sample and participant feedback was integrated into the current version of the intervention.
Purpose: Chemotherapy treatment is a very different and difficult process. Considering the many physiological and psychological problems that patients experience during and after the treatment process, chemotherapy symptoms and psychological problems affect the quality of life of patients. Along with the burden of the disease, patients who experience physiological problems during chemotherapy may experience depression, stress, and anxiety. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of music played during chemotherapy on depression, anxiety, stress levels, and chemotherapy symptoms. Method: This study was conducted in a randomized controlled manner with a pretest-posttest control group random design model. The study population consisted of patients receiving treatment in the outpatient chemotherapy unit of Maltepe University Faculty of Medicine Hospital. The study sample consisted of 49 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The power analysis determined that the sample number was 42 people in total, 21 in the experimental group and 21 in the control group. However, considering the data losses, it was decided that the number would be 25 experimental and 25 control. When one patient from the experimental group did not want to continue, the study was completed with 49 patients, 24 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The music recital will be applied 4 times in total, once a week, until the patients complete 1 cycle, i.e. 4 sessions. Patients in the experimental group were administered the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS -42) and Edmonton Symptom Diagnostic Scale (ESDS) before each session until the completion of one cycle, and music was played for 20-25 minutes during chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, the scales were applied again. In the control group, the scales were applied before chemotherapy treatment, no intervention was made during chemotherapy and the scales were applied again after chemotherapy.
We aimed to compare the effects of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and the Cognitive Behavioural Stress Reduction (CBSR) group interventions on depression and anxiety symptoms and perceived stress of medical students. 323 medical students applied to participate in one of the group interventions and were assessed with the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Of these, 253 (77% female, mean age=21.9 ± 2.9 years) were allocated into online MBSR (n=127) and online CBSR (n=126) groups after randomization. Their anxiety and depressive symptoms and perceived stress levels were assessed at baseline and after 8 weeks of interventions.
This study explores the use of virtual reality (VR) to reduce pain and anxiety during thyroid biopsies and PICC line insertions under local anesthesia. One group experienced the procedure with VR, while the other group did not. Participants completed questionnaires before and after the surgery to measure pain and anxiety levels. The main goal is to observe if VR can significantly decrease pain and anxiety during these procedures.
The purpose of this study was to examine whether an app- and mentor-based program reduced anxiety among individuals reporting difficulties with anxiety. For the intervention group, this study involved completing an 8-week program focused on helping participants reach their personality goals. The program involved app-based games, journaling, and completing behavioral challenges. Participants engaged with the study app for approximately 15 minutes per day and spoke with a study mentor weekly for 1 hour. Participants were asked to complete surveys prior to and after the program. The pre-program survey lasted approximately 1 hour, and the post-program survey lasted approximately 30 minutes. For the control group, this study involved completing surveys. Participants were asked to complete surveys 8 weeks apart. The first batch of surveys lasted approximately 1 hour, and the follow-up surveys lasted approximately 30 minutes.
The goal of this quasi-experienmental study is to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based intervention in the level of uncertainty and anxiety, and determintation towards hospital admission among pregnant women. The main questions : • Do pregnant women in intervention group reduce anxiety and uncertainty? • Do pregnant women in intervention group increase self-determintation ability towards hospital admission? Women in the intervention group participated 4 weeks mindfulness-based intervention online courses, Researchers have seen effectiveness of mindfulness-based intervention in the level of uncertainty, anxiety, and determintation towards hospital admission among pregnant women.
This study was evaluated anxiety, pain, and oral health-related quality of life in individuals treated with conventional fixed appliances (Group A) and clear aligners (Group B) for moderate malocclusion during the initial phase of orthodontic treatment
The caregivers of palliative care patients can also be negatively affected during the palliative care process. Especially family caregivers may experience difficulties in physical, social, economic, and psychological aspects. Non-pharmacological approaches are utilized to cope with these difficulties. The mandala study is one of the non-pharmacological approaches and has been utilized to support patients and caregivers in various illnesses. Mandala is a method that anyone can apply, based on coloring circular patterns. Recent studies have reported that mandala contributes to improving psychological and physiological well-being. This study is designed in a randomized controlled design to examine the effects of mandala application on anxiety levels and caregiver burden in palliative care caregivers. Caregivers who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to two groups using a computer program. Both groups of caregivers will be administered an information form, the STAI XT-1 State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Zarit Burden Interview Scale. Then, the intervention group will be asked to apply mandala twice a week for 30 minutes for one month. After one month, the scales will be administered again. The caregivers in the control group will not receive any intervention, and after one month, the scales will be administered, and mandala application will be suggested. According to G Power analysis, with a Type I error (α) of 0.05 and a power (1-β) of 0.80, the minimum sample size that will meet the requirements is determined to be a total of 86 individuals (experimental: 43, control: 43). Considering potential sample loss, the aim is to reach 45 participants in each group. The statistical analysis of the data will be performed using SPSS version 22.0. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, median, standard deviation, mean, minimum, maximum, percentage, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normal distribution (N>30), skewness, and kurtosis will be used for sociodemographic characteristics. Correlation tests will be used for scale relationships, and ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, t-test, or Mann-Whitney U test and post-hoc tests will be used for scale comparisons according to independent variables. The significance level will be accepted as p<0.05.
