Clinicians will conduct interviews with women and request that they complete the CAPS, Beck Depression Inventory II, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and DERS during pretreatment, posttreatment, and at the 12-month follow-up
Background: Performing simulation applications using standardized patients provides realistic educational results that support critical thinking and learning, conducted using complex, effective communication scenarios. Objective: This study was planned to evaluate the effect of the use of standardized pediatric patient practice in pediatric nursing education on the ability of nursing students to prepare the child for the procedure. Method: The research was conducted using a convergent parallel design, which is a mixed method design. Ethics committee approval was obtained with the decision numbered 19/376 regarding the ethical suitability of the research. The sample of the study consists of 106 students. The students included in the study were given an introductory information form and the state trait anxiety scale and self-efficacy efficacy scale as pre-tests, and then the theoretical course "Preparing the child for the process according to age periods and communicating with the child patient" was explained. The students were divided into intervention and control groups by randomization. The students in the intervention group participated in the simulation application using standardized pediatric patients. Qualitative data were collected during the debriefing phase of the simulation and student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning scale was applied to the students in the intervention group. Before clinical practice, state trait anxiety scale, self-efficacy scale and perceived learning scale were applied as posttests. During the clinical practice, all students were evaluated in terms of their ability to prepare a real school-age child patient for the procedure.
Due to an increasing amount of children and adolescents are suffering from mental illnesses i Sweden. Early preventive psychological interventions are important to avoid a long-time use of medicines. Animal assisted therapy and especially equine assisted services (EAS) has shown to be a good complementary method to decrease anxiety and/or depression in children and adolescents. The main aim is to study the effect of a specific EAS program regarding symptoms of mental illness and in long-term follow-up of future healthcare consumption. We will conduct interviews with both participants and their parents besides the questionnaires at follow-ups (12 weeks, and 1 year) The intervention will be EAS at a farm following a detailed program, the staff at the farm are specially trained with a certification to practice EAS. Each session will last for about 60 minutes, once a week. Participants will get information of the study by the child and youth psychiatry in the region of Skane, and from student´s health team at elementary schools. Those who want ti participate will contact the study coordinator for full information and informed consent. The EAS model has been used in treatment of adult with mental illness for many years, and the result are very positive. This project provides an opportunity to evaluate the effect of EAS to promote health and prevent severe manifest mental illness among children and adolescents. There are no previous studies of the long-term effect of EAS regarding health consumption.
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the preoperative education given to the parents of the children who will undergo day surgery on the parents' perception of family-centered care and anxiety. It is a randomized controlled trial. In this parallel group study, intervention group and control group will take place. The research will be carried out in the pediatric surgery service of the Selcuk University Medical Faculty Hospital. A total of 60 parents, including the intervention group (n=30) and the control group (n=30), will be included in the study. Parents to be included in the study will be assigned to intervention and control groups by randomization method. The randomization will be hidden from the researcher conducting the trial until the administration begins. The researcher will be given 60 envelopes and will begin to open the envelopes when he meets the parent. The researcher will learn which group each parent is in just before the application. Data collection tools; information form, state anxiety scale and Family Centered Care Assessment Scale. During the data collection phase, the purpose of the research will be explained to the parents by the researcher, information about the study will be given and consent will be obtained from the parents who agreed to participate in the research through the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form". A brochure prepared in line with the literature and the training given in the hospital will be given to the initiative group and verbal information will be given. On the other hand, only verbal information will be given to the control group, which is done in the hospital routine. The contents of the brochure include Preparation at Home 1 Day Before the Day of Surgery, Preparation at the Hospital on the Day of Surgery, and Home Care After the Surgery. Brochure and information will be given to the intervention group in the polyclinic one day before the surgery. Information Form, State Anxiety Scale and Family Centered Care Evaluation Scale will be filled in the polyclinic. The Information Form will be filled with the information obtained from the parents and the patient file. State Anxiety Scale and Family Centered Care Assessment Scale will be filled during discharge. Data will be analyzed with the IBM SPSS 22 (IBM Corporation, New York, NY) program. Partial eta squared will be calculated for the effect size and the significance level will be accepted as p<0.05.

Approximately 30% of children will experience an anxiety disorder, making anxiety the most common mental health problem among children in the United States. However, few children receive treatment and even our most effective anxiety treatments leave up to half of children in need of additional intervention. Despite the well-established role of parent anxiety in transmitting and maintaining child anxiety, the lack of data on specific parent mechanisms underlying the intergenerational transmission of anxiety is a critical barrier to informing novel targets of personalized treatments. Consistent with NIMH's Strategic Plan, Objective 2.2 to understand risk factors and behavioral indicators of mental illness across the lifespan and to identify novel intervention targets based on knowledge of psychological mechanisms, the current study focuses on interpretation bias, the tendency to perceive threat in ambiguous situations. The overall objective of this project is to empirically test a theoretical model of the intergenerational transmission of anxiety focused on parent interpretation bias as a root cause. Our specific aims are to test theorized effects of parent interpretation bias on (1) parent behavior and (2) child interpretation bias and (3) evaluate potential moderators to refine theories of intergenerational transmission of anxiety and inform future personalized interventions. Our central hypothesis is that parent interpretation bias influences child interpretation bias through its effects on maladaptive, anxiety-promoting parenting behaviors, such as accommodation and modeling of avoidant coping. To test this hypothesis, we will randomize 300 parents of children ages 7-12 to complete four weeks of a smartphone delivered interpretation bias manipulation vs. a self-assessment smartphone app condition. The interpretation bias intervention teaches parents to interpret ambiguous situations in a non-threatening manner via quick, repeated practice and corrective feedback. Before and after completing their randomly assigned condition, parent-child dyads will complete self-report and behavioral tasks designed to elicit anxiety-promoting behaviors from parents depending upon their interpretation of the ambiguous situation (speech and puzzle tasks). Parents will also complete Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) of parenting behaviors to capture the time course of effects. Finally, we will examine downstream effects of the interpretation manipulation on child interpretation bias at pre- and post- visits. We will test moderators (e.g., parent anxiety and gender) to refine theories of intergenerational transmission of anxiety and inform future personalized interventions. The long-term goal of this work is to inform personalized, mechanism-focused interventions to improve mental health outcomes for anxious children and their parents. Future studies will translate knowledge gained from this project into a scalable treatment that can be implemented entirely remotely via smartphone thereby increasing access to care
With the SuRxgWell study, the investigators envision multipronged benefits from this pilot work for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Insurance Services Division (ISD) and its members. The RxWell platform is expected to provide the following benefits: expansion of the use of RxWell to all UPMC ISD members providing peri-operative mood management with advantage of improved peri-operative outcomes, improving saving for the UPMC ISD by hastening the recovery and decreased resource utilization, and addition to the high-value care of UPMC with this holistic approach to patient perioperative care.
This study is an interventional type three-group randomized controlled non-drug clinical trial aimed at targeting the acute pain content and anxiety level of aromatherapy arm treatment with a sesame oil and sesame lavender oil mixture performed with Simple Mastectomy (BM) / Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM). It constitutes a total of 66 patients with the power to represent the universe. However, considering the losses that may occur during the study process, it was decided that it would be appropriate to include 90 patients, 36% more than the sample. Individuals receiving arm massage with sesame oil (Group I), individuals performing arm massage with sesame-lavender oil mixture (Group II), and individuals performing arm massage with paraffin oil (Group III) constitute the research groups. After obtaining the informed written consent of the participants who agreed to participate in the study, the randomization list created from the computer-based random numbers table will be used with the block randomization method to assign an equal number of people to all three groups. In the preoperative period, patients will be given an allergic sensitivity (patch) test of the oils to be used in the study to Groups 1 and 2, massage training will be given to all groups with the show-and-have method in the pre-operative period, a massage application brochure and video will be given, and information will be given on how to fill out the follow-up forms. H1: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with sesame oil reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with paraffin oil.H2: After simple mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with paraffin oil.H3: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with sesame oil reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with paraffin oil.H4: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with paraffin oil.H5: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with sesame oil.H6: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with sesame oil.
This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study.To evaluate the effects of aromatherapy, one of the non-pharmacological pain methods, on labor pain and anxiety in the active phase in primiparous pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is ylang ylang oil applied as an inhaler effective in reducing labor pain and anxiety? Is lemon oil applied as an inhaler effective in reducing labor pain and anxiety? Participants randomized according to the closed envelope method into the lemon oil group (n=15), ylang ylang oil group (n=15) and control group (n=15). In the active phase (cervical dilatation ≥5), a drop of essential oil was instilled onto square cotton balls to the intervention groups and renewed as one drop every hour until labor occurred. In the control group, 1 drop of saline was dripped onto square cotton balls. Visual pain scale (VAS) and state anxiety ınventory were applied to the intervention groups and control groups before the application. After the application, VAS and state anxiety ınventory were evaluated at 5-7 cm dilatation, and only with VAS at 8-10 cm dilatation. The trait anxiety ınventory was administered to the volunteers after birth.
