Filter by:The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of education and music listening on the anxiety and physiological parameters experienced by individuals undergoing elective coronary angiography.
This study aims to investigate the effects of a 6-week dietary intervention of 22 g freeze-dried whole wild blueberry powder. The outcomes include measures of depression, anxiety, anhedonia, cognitive function, and biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress.
This study aims to investigate the effect of Traditional Turkish Military music on patients who will have Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography Procedure on vital signs, anxiety, and pain. This will be a randomized controlled experimental study. The study will be conducted with two groups: the intervention group (n=36) and the control group (n=36). The control group will receive standard care while the intervention group, in addition to standard care, will be listened to Traditional Turkish Military music, which consists of music selected by an expert on the type of music, by the researchers for 15 minutes before the procedure.

This will be a randomized controlled experimental study. The study will be conducted with two groups: the intervention group (n=35) and the control group (n=35). The control group will receive standard care while the intervention group, in addition to standard care, will be listened to music by the researchers for 15 minutes before the procedure.
CLINICAL ISSUE: Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are four times more likely to suffer with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) than their neurotypical peers. The presence of FGIDs are linked to increased undesirable behaviour and ASD severity. Current behavioural approaches for ASD therapy do not alleviate the high comorbidity of FGIDs within this population. BACKGROUND: Dysfunction of the microbiome-gut-brain (MGB) axis has been implicated in pathogenesis of both ASD and FGIDs. Probiotics and prebiotics can modulate the gut microbiome and research has shown efficacy at improving gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in children with ASD and neurotypical (NT) children with FGIDs. Gut-directed hypnotherapy (GDH) has shown utility in treating FGIDs in NT children and adults but has not yet been trialed in children with ASD. Targeting therapies to address the dysfunction of the bidirectional MGB axis will likely be more effective than either brain/behavioural or gut-based therapy alone. HYPOTHESIS: A synbiotic (prebiotic + probiotic mixture) with combined GDH will be more effective than a synbiotic alone at reducing GI symptoms in children with ASD aged 5.00 to 10.99 years over a 12-week period.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an online Multi-component psychological intervention, that is focused on providing self-support to the Mexican population for the prevention of complicated grief disorder, by reducing grief and strengthening the capacities of the person to handle losses derived from COVID-19 as well as reducing the symptoms of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and post-traumatic stress, and increasing the quality of sleep and perception of the quality of life.
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by inability of the heart to pump an adequate amount of blood. Heart failure affects patients' ability to carry out even simple activities of daily living and therefore has negative psychological impact. Many studies reported that depression is prevalent among HF patients and it is being associated with high morbidity, mortality and costs. The European Society of Cardiology guidelines stresses the importance of routine depression screening with a validated questionnaire and initiating treatment for depression for all depressed HF patients and their access to psychological treatment. The community heart failure nurses provide the integrated heart failure service in the local area of Southwark and Lambeth in South London. The aim of the integrated heart failure team in the community is to provide the HF treatment effectively, help patients understand and manage their symptoms and support with lifestyle changes. Even though, the community HF nurses have extensive role in managing HF patients in the community, their role in assessing anxiety and depression; and providing psychological treatment needs to be further explored. Therefore, there is a need to assess the process by which community HF nurses assess and manage anxiety and depression. This current study builds on our recent systematic review which illustrated how cognitive behaviour therapy is effective at improving depressive symptoms in HF, but more studies are needed to build on these findings. The findings from this review will be used to examine the perspectives on assessing, managing and treating depression and anxiety in HF patients. In this current study, an online focus group with community heart failure nurses and qualitative telephone/online interviews with community-based HF patients will be undertaken to explore their views and experiences in managing depression and anxiety; and to assess whether COMPASS a web-based intervention would be useful. Also, this study will explore the impact of COVID-19 on the psychological wellbeing of community-based HF patients.
Caregivers of adults with dementia report higher stress, including anxiety and depressive symptoms, burden, and existential suffering, than caregivers of people with other chronic diseases.
Depression and anxiety in female patients with cancer are serious comorbidities that affect the quality of life for patients and their survival rates as they have poorer health outcomes. This validation study is a part of the study on the prevalence of depression and anxiety among breast cancer patients. This study aims to investigate the validity of the Kazakh and Russian versions of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) among female cancer patients in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Specific Aim 1: Conduct a pilot, small-scale randomized controlled trial to examine feasibility and preliminary efficacy of LTW, compared to TAU. Outcomes related to feasibility include percentage of eligible patients recruited, study attrition, study retention, and mental health and substance use treatment appointment attendance. Outcomes related to preliminary efficacy will include participation in screening, referral and treatment as well as reduction in mental health and substance use at 1 and 3 months post-study enrollment, compared to TAU. Specific Aim 2: Conduct a randomized controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of LTW, compared to TAU. Outcomes related to effectiveness include attendance to treatment as well as reduction in mental health and substance use at 1 and 3 months post-study enrollment, compared to TAU.
