Filter by:The covid-19 pandemic started to spread worldwide since December 2019. It promoted to an exaggerated psychological stress and anxiety in humans due to the intolerable symptoms higher than usual death of many infected patients. This study examines the corona related anxiety and if there is need for drug intervention to treat this anxiety. To answer these questions, a survey made to the hospitalized patients including sex, age, educational level, Marital state, and a standardized questionnaires (GAD-7 and PHQ-9) which has been validated and shown to possess good psychometric qualities in studies of participants from multiple populations.
Rationale: Lack of postoperative acute pain management is associated with increased morbidity, longer recovery time, more opioid use and subsequently increased health care costs. There is increasing evidence virtual reality (VR) is effective in the reduction of acute pain. Alternative methods to reduce postoperative pain and multimodal analgesia are necessary for acute postoperative pain management and to reduce opioid use and their adverse effects. Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the effect of VR on pain in the immediate postoperative period after elective gynecological surgery. Secondary objectives are evaluating pre-and postoperative anxiety, pain catastrophizing, analgesic use, length of hospital stay between both groups and to explore tolerability, feasibility and satisfaction of VR use. Study design: The study concerns a non-blinded, single centre, randomised controlled trial. Study population: Eligible women fulfill the inclusion criteria and receive elective gynecological surgery in the Zuyderland Medical Centre location Heerlen. Intervention: The study population will be randomly divided into the intervention group (VR-group) or the standard care- group. The intervention group can choose for an immersive guided relaxation VR experience or an interactive VR experience during the pre- and postoperative period additional to the usual standard care. The participants randomised to the standard care- group will receive only the usual standard care pre-and postoperative. Main study parameters: The primary outcome is postoperative pain measured on a numeric rating scale (NRS). A total of 30 patients have to be included in each group. This means that a total of 60 women will have to be included in the study. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The study population experiences a small medical risk when participating to this study. They can experience side-effects of VR for example dizziness or nausea and in rare cases epileptic insults. Participants of the study have to fill in a questionnaire before randomization and pre-and postoperative score of pain and anxiety on a zero to ten score scale.
Given the high prevalence of neuraxial analgesia use during labor and the anxiety associated with these procedures, a method to decrease this anxiety could benefit millions of laboring women each year. Mindfulness practice has been used by many groups to decrease anxiety during pregnancy with optimistic results. However, there has been no major study evaluating the role of mindfulness interventions on anxiety associated with neuraxial placement. The purpose of our study is to address this gap in knowledge.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA); It is frequently applied to adults, especially those over the age of 55. Total knee arthroplasty surgery is among the surgeries with a high satisfaction rate for the patient, although complications can develop and this rate varies between 1.65-11.3%. It has a privileged place in the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of the problems and complications that may occur. In this way, patients' anxiety will be reduced, self-care competence will be provided, recovery process will be accelerated, quality of life and care satisfaction will increase. In this context, the training, information, skill-building, counseling and care practice that the nurse will provide to the patient; With the results to be obtained from this study, patients with TKA can be given pre-operative and post-operative nursing care using a nurse coaching strategy, and patients' anxiety level, pain control, patient satisfaction It is predicted to have a positive effect on self-care ability and re-hospitalization rates. Thus, it is thought that both quality healthcare services will be provided and will contribute to the creation of evidence-based data. It is thought that the study will also contribute to the dissemination of the pre-operative and postoperative nurse coaching strategy in patients undergoing TKA, and will guide the planning of nursing education. This study is an experimental study to determine the effect of continuous nursing care given with a coaching strategy to patients scheduled for TKA surgery on anxiety, pain, self-care ability, satisfaction, and re-hospitalization. The study will be carried out in Konya Private Hospital. Data collection time is set as September-December 2020. Data will be collected by the researcher using the Diagnostic questionnaire form, State Anxiety Scale, Visual Analog Scale, Newcastle Nursing Care Satisfaction Scale, Modified Barthel index and Self-Care Ability Scale. In this context, the training, information, skill-building, counseling and care practice that the nurse will provide to the patient; It will contribute to achieving the desired results by positively affecting both the success of the surgery and the healing process of the patient.
The investigators aimed to compare the effectiveness of the Comfort-in system, which is a jet injection type, and infiltrative anesthesia with a traditional injector, and to measure the effect of children's anxiety on the severity of pain.
The objective of the study is to determine the impacts of a 2-week relaxing music intervention on stress, anxiety, and gut symptoms in individuals who regularly perform structured aerobic exercise. Gut symptoms like bloating, reflux, cramping, nausea, etc. are relatively common during prolonged aerobic exercise. In addition, previous research has established that levels of anxiety and stress are associated with a higher occurrence of these gut symptoms. Relaxing music has reduced anxiety in certain populations, but currently, no studies are available on its effects on anxiety, stress, and gut symptoms in people who regularly do aerobic exercise.
Although on an international level, accumulating evidence supports the feasibility and effectiveness of VR for pain and anxiety management, in Belgium, adoption of VR in clinical practice is limited and local trials are scarce. In order to improve translation from research to practice, the current study will focus on the feasibility, acceptability, tolerability and preliminary effectiveness of 'Relaxation-VR', a VR application aiming to reduce anxiety and pain for children admitted to hospital, as experienced by both patients and clinical staff. This study will take place at the paediatric wards of two hospitals interested in adopting this innovative technology for improving both patient care (e.g., anxiety and pain reduction) and staff workload (e.g., shorter procedure times), UZ Brussel and AZ Sint-Maarten.
O-ACE POP is a randomised controlled trial of an online cultural experience named Ways of Being, compared to a typical museum website (the Ashmolean Museum). The primary aim is to compare these two interventions by efficacy on mood, distress (depression and anxiety), flourishing and investigate potential mechanisms of action, as well as the feasibility of a larger scale RCT.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the pain perception associated with a needle-free injection system( Comfort-In) and dental injection method in filling and pulpotomy treatments
The investigators predict that decreased heart rate variability and poor sleep quality will be significantly correlated with higher self-reported anxiety following brain injury.
