Filter by:The purpose of the study is to test if Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a behavioral intervention designed to increase psychological flexibility in the face of challenges, reduces anxiety associated psychological distress in dementia caregivers compared to the control group who will receive self-help and educational materials. This version of ACT is delivered over the phone in six primary sessions and one booster session.
The goal of this this study is to develop and test the feasibility of a remotely delivered brief behavioral activation intervention to decrease the negative physical and psychological consequences of being homebound among older adults during the time of COVID.
University students report high levels of stress, anxiety and depression every year, which, according to some research, responsible for university administration and popular media, constitutes a global crisis of mental health of students at these levels. Exposure to academic stress directly compromises students' motivation and attitudes towards learning. High levels of perceived distress in the face of inadequate resources to deal with the situation leaves people at risk of developing major psychiatric problems, especially when this distress is prolonged or severe.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of secondary prevention education given to individuals after acute myocardial infarction on physiological parameters, anxiety and quality of life.
People with severe allergy often experience distress but research exploring psychological interventions for them is limited. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is routinely used in NHS services. The research investigators would like to know whether a short term CBT group is feasible and acceptable for those with severe allergy who are also experiencing distress and/or anxiety. The research investigators will recruit people with allergy through support groups and social media. Those interested in the study will be invited to complete a screening interview. If the participants meet the inclusion criteria and consent to take part the participants will be randomly allocated into the CBT or a self-help group. Full written consent will be needed at the telephone screening session if participants are eligible for the study. Participants will be given time to complete this prior to the intervention. Participants will be able to withdraw at any point during the study. The self-help group will be sent self-help materials. The CBT group will attend a single session day workshop based on CBT (maximum 6 hours length). Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the workshop may need to be delivered online. If delivered online, the workshop may be delivered over two three hour sessions. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires at baseline, the day of the intervention, one month later and three months later. They will be asked to complete a feedback form about their experiences in the group and at three month follow up, a small subsample of participants will be invited to interview. Once the data is analysed it will be written up into a report for a clinical psychology doctoral qualification major research project. It may also be published in academic journals and presented at conferences. A possible outcome of the research is that people with allergy either do or do not find the workshops an acceptable and/or feasible intervention. It will identify the potential for this intervention to reduce distress and anxiety and to improve coping skills in adults with allergy. Those who take part are welcome to contact the researchers to find out the results of the study.
The purpose of this study is to use CBT strategies in assisting patients hospitalized in intensive care units in ventilation wean through a case series of 2 patients.
Preoperative anxiety is a major concern for patients who undergo surgery. To accurately identify anxious patient is therefore crucial to improve perioperative patient care. Preoperative anxiety remain highly difficult to quantify in current practice. Many patient fail to express their anxiety and the assessment of the level of anxiety is mainly based on heteroevaluation by caregivers. Nurse anesthetists provide closed support to patient prior to the induction of anesthesia. The aim of the study is to assess whether nurse anesthetist accurately assess patient preoperative anxiety from arrival to the operating room to the induction of anesthesia.
Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women and one of the leading causes of death in women worldwide. Pre-cancerous lesions (dysplasias) are detected by the screening smear test at the gynecologist's office and can thus contribute to a 100% chance of cure if they are clarified by a colposcopic examination as part of the dysplasia consultation. To detect cervical dysplasia during colposcopic examination, the effect of diluted acetic acid on the epithelium of the cervix uteri is utilized. Metaplastic epithelium and low-grade dysplasia are visually noticeable by a slight white staining. Biopsies are then taken from these areas for further diagnosis. The colposcopy itself and especially the colposcopic targeted biopsy of the cervix are painful. Virtual reality (VR) is a new method for 360° three-dimensional viewing of image content. A number of studies have shown that the use of VR can have a positive impact on the course of medical interventions. Randomized studies on the effectiveness of VR in a collective of women with colposcopically targeted biopsy of the cervix are not available according to a recent literature search (PubMed search of 12/30/2020; search terms: cervical biopsy, colposcopy, pain relief, pain control, virtual reality). In studies of our research group on colposcopy, we found increased pain scores especially in younger patients, but also in obese patients and smokers. A controlled study on the effectiveness of VR in colposcopically targeted biopsy is therefore useful. In our study, we now want to answer the question under prospective conditions whether the use of VR before the start or before the start and during colposcopy compared to no intervention leads to a significant increase in patient satisfaction and/or a reduction in pain in the context of clarification colposcopy and colposcopically targeted biopsy.
Paediatric immunization is often associated with significant fear and anxiety among children and their parents. Their distress can greatly affect their future adherence to the immunization schedule and the acceptance of recommended vaccines by physicians. This pilot was a single-centre, open label, randomised controlled trial to examine the use of VR analgesia in childhood immunization in primary care.The study primarily aimed to determine the feasibility of using immersive virtual reality (VR) during immunization in children by assessing the response rate of the participants during recruitment. The secondary outcome of the study was to determine the effectiveness of immersive VR in alleviating pain and anxiety among children during immunization compared to usual care without VR. It also aimed to determine the effectiveness of immersive VR in reducing anxiety among the parents and nurses during immunization procedure.
Psychological impact of intensive care hospitalization for patients has been demonstrated during the last few years: anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder. Hospitalizations during COVID-19 pandemic have been marked by factors such as confinement forbidding family members visits, stress on intensive care unit ...Those factors may have a psychological impact added to factors of long hospitalization and prolonged mechanical ventilation. For all these reasons the investigators fear that patients hospitalized in intensive care during COVID-19 pandemic develop psychological trouble with an increased risk for those who experienced COVID-19 infection. The hypothesis therapy group added to standard care might have a positive impact on psychological troubles such as anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder for patients who have been hospitalized in intensive care during COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators will compare two groups: - group receiving standard of care - group receiving standard of care and therapy group
