Filter by:Major depressive and anxiety disorders are highly prevalent in the general population and are a leading cause of disability. Black adults have a high burden of depression and anxiety. This study aims to assess a self- administered video-based intervention to reduce mental illness stigma and medical mistrust among Black adults with moderate to severe depression or anxiety.
When children become very sick and need to stay in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), it can have a big impact on their recovery and their family's well-being. Sometimes kids and their families feel worried or sad even after they leave the hospital. This can have an impact on the quality of their life after hospital discharge. To help understand and improve these experiences, the investigators want to study the "PICU diaries." These are journals that families and hospital staff can write in during the child's time in the hospital. Parents, other visitors and healthcare professionals can share thoughts, experiences, and even drawings or photos related to the child's admission. The content is a narrative account of what happens during the child's hospital stay, for the family to take home at PICU discharge. The investigators believe that writing in these diaries might help children and their families feel better after leaving the hospital. It might help kids feel less worried or sad, and it might also help their parents or caregivers feel better too. The study will include children who have been in the PICU and their families. Some families will receive these special diaries to use during their time in the hospital, while others won't. We'll then see how everyone feels after they leave the hospital and compare the two groups to see if the diaries make a difference. The investigators hope that by understanding how these diaries can help, healthcare professionals can make hospital experiences better for everyone involved.
The aim of this study is to measure the impact of these H.O.O.V.E.S. healing intensives on Veteran participants using several psychological instruments. The investigators are planning to administer the demographic questionnaires and psychological instruments to Veteran participants before the healing intensives. Psychological instruments will be administered immediately pre-intervention, pre- and post-session for each session, post-intervention, 90, 120 and 360 days post-intervention. The primary aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session and pre- to post-intervention.
The aim of this project is to determine the effect of mindfulness practice to cope with dysmenorrhea on pain and anxiety levels. The project will be carried out in a semi-randomized controlled manner. It will be applied to 100 students with dysmenorrhea (100 students by increasing by 10%, taking into account the losses that may occur in the 90 students determined in the sample calculation). Students who meet the inclusion criteria and approve of participating in the project will be given a pre-test before the application. 'Introductory Information Form', 'VAS Scale' and 'State and Trait Anxiety Scale' will be used in the pre-test. After the pre-test, mindfulness practice will be applied for 8 weeks (1 day/120 minutes per week). At the end of 8 weeks, an intermediate test will be performed in the first 3 days of the first menstrual cycle. After the mid-term test, students will practice mindfulness on their own with the brochures provided. Motivational messages will be sent to students for mindfulness practice, starting 3 days before their cycle. The final test will be administered 3 months after the intermediate test. 'VAS Scale' and 'State and Trait Anxiety Scale' will be used in the mid-test and post-test.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test and learn about Virtual Reality (VR) providing preoperative information to patients undergoing elective TKA surgery in spinal anesthesia. The main question(s) aim(s) to answer if: - Can preoperative information through a VR headset lower the patients preoperative anxiety? - Can VR information make the patients more ready for surgery. Painscore will also be collected. Participants will be randomized into two groups. One that will have preoperative information through VR versus standard information. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare enrolled TKA patients to see if VR have an impact on anxiety, readiness and pain
Cannabis use increased 10 fold among adults over the age of 65 between 2014 and 2016 but very little data exists on the extent of their harmful effects on health and behavior. The overarching goal of this project is to test a novel harm reduction strategy in which older individuals who seek to use cannabis for pain, anxiety or mood problems (depression/anxiety) will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions in an 8 week randomized controlled trial: hemp-derived CBD+THC, hemp-derived CBD-THC, or placebo. This work has the ability to directly inform individual choices regarding the use of cannabis products among older adults, and direct policy decisions regulating cannabis formulations on the legal market.
The current preoperative fasting guidelines recommend, applying preoperative carbohydrate solution 2 hours before the operation to minimize prolonged fasting time potential negative effects and improve patient comfort. Fasting after midnight before the operation day is a widespread practice. The major obstacle to preoperative carbohydrate solutions becoming prevalent and extremely long fasting time is the limited product; which is proven safe and efficient, and unavailable in several countries. In this study, our objective is to analyze the gastric volume, preoperative anxiety, stress response, postoperative insulin resistance, and postoperative nausea and vomiting by utilizing a low osmolality oral carbohydrate solution prepared with ginger and melissa.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week online yoga intervention in improving the well-being and productivity of desk-based workers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How effective is an 8-week online yoga intervention in improving the well-being (mental and physical) and productivity (work engagement and job performance) of the yoga group compared with passive controls? - Are there any differences in well-being and work-related measures between the yoga and control groups? Participants in the yoga group will practice yoga three days a week for 8 weeks and will be compared with a wait-listed control group, which will continue with the usual routine for 8 weeks. Researchers will evaluate the impact of yoga on the well-being and productivity of desk-based workers.
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand the difference between two versions of the Healthy Minds application, a digital well-being program. The main question it aims to answer is the differences between versions of the Healthy Minds application and their effects on well-being. Participants will complete an online four-week well-being program and complete surveys sent to their email. Participants can expect to participate in the study for four months.

The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the group therapy feasible? - Is the group therapy accepted by stroke survivors and therapists? - Are there first indications on the efficacy of the group therapy to improve mental health? Participants will take part in 8 weekly group therapy sessions of 90 minutes each.
