Filter by:Due to the COVID-19 global health pandemic, many people are likely experiencing increased stress. Many obstetrics and gynecology patients are additionally experiencing increased stress due to the healthcare changes the COVID-19 pandemic has caused including delayed or canceled elective surgeries, visitor restrictions, and telemedicine visits instead of in person clinic visits. Mindfulness meditation is a self-management strategy that can be utilized by anyone to assist with the management of stress. Mindfulness meditation mobile applications, such as the "Calm" app, can be used to help manage stress, especially during this uncertain time. The investigators propose a prospective randomized controlled trial evaluating perceived stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbance in the investigators outpatient OB/Gyn patients at Banner Women's Institute, with the use of a 30 day trial of the mindfulness meditation app, "Calm." All patients would ultimately receive a 30 day free trial of the mobile meditation app, however the intervention group would receive the 30-day free trial immediately and the control group would receive the 30-day free trial after the study period which is 30 days after enrollment. The investigators additionally want to evaluate the feasibility of using the mobile app, including looking at adherence to use of the app and patient satisfaction with use of the app.
The objective of this study is to provide remote mindfulness session(s) to help during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The goal of the study is to determine the effect of classical music on participants pain and anxiety associated with lidocaine administration during routine standard of care dermatologic procedures.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) therapy in the treatment of depression and anxiety symptoms in patients undergoing second stage of cardiac rehabilitation. Half of the study group will receive VR therapy (VR group) as an addition to cardiologically monitored physical training. The other half of the group (control group) will receive Schultz Autogenic Training as a standard supplement to cardiological training
The primary aim of the current study is to conduct a cluster-randomized control trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel digital intervention in reducing anxiety and digital eye strain compared to usual care among Chinese children during the period of home confinement.
The investigators plan to conduct a cross-sectional survey to examine how social media use during COVID-19 relates to: (1) information management, (2) assessment of the situation, and (3) affect.
Resident wellness and physician burnout are under the spotlight more and more as data begins to show that there is a point of diminishing return on the number of hours in training. In 2003, resident work hours were restricted to less than 80 hours per week averaged over 4 weeks. This change was implemented in response to the robust body of evidence that increased work hours leads to decreased sleep, which in turn leads to medical errors and depression. These factors directly and indirectly lead to worse outcomes for patients. In residency, it is difficult objectively to assess when residents are beginning to experience burnout and depression. The investigators propose a study to determine whether tracking of certain heart rate parameters (resting heart rate and heart rate variability) as well as sleep can correlate to subjective assessment of resident wellness, burnout and depression. The investigators will also compare these measures to biomarkers of stress, such as salivary cortisol. The results of this study may lead to improved understanding of what truly causes burnout and may be an eventual target for intervention to help improve short- and long-term outcomes for resident physicians as well as their patients.
Caregivers of men with prostate cancer report high physical and emotional distress, and there is an urgent need to develop cost-effective programmes to prepare them for their roles. An online tool has been developed recently, aiming to offer a convenient, efficient, and potentially effective solution. However, pilot testing is required to evaluate this dyadic, Tailored, wEb-based, psychosocial and physical activity self-Management PrOgramme (called TEMPO) for caregivers of prostate cancer survivors. This study will assess TEMPO's acceptability, feasibility, cost, and potential efficacy, in addition to documenting the benefits (costs and outcomes) gained from involving both the caregiver and the patient in the intervention. A total of 80 patient-caregiver dyads will be recruited and randomized to a) TEMPO, or b) usual care. Acceptability, feasibility, and cost indicators will also be collected. Quality of life, anxiety, self-management skills, physical activity, self-efficacy, appraisal, and depression will also be assessed at baseline and 3 months post-baseline. In addition, intervention dyads will be invited to participate in an exit interview. This pilot study aims to assess the feasibility of the project, to inform the development and planning of a larger trial.
The study investigates the behavioral effects of an adapted manual-based social skills training program (SKOLKONTAKT) for the mainstream education plan delivered by school personnel, with pupils (15-20 years) with social-communication needs; either formally diagnosed (i.e. autism spectrum disorders or ADHD) or teacher-reported subclinical difficulties. N=40 are recruited from a community school in the Stockholm area (Sweden).
At CHUS Fleurimont, one in five patients hospitalized for this condition needs to be transferred to an intensive functional rehabilitation unit (URFI) located in another establishment of the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de service sociaux de l'Estrie - Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke (CIUSSS de Estrie-CHUS). Patients and their relatives must therefore adapt to a new environment and a new care team, which can cause additional concern and uncertainty for their new condition. Thus, the importance of educating the patient and their family so that they understand the nature of the stroke, as well as the elements and stages of rehabilitation that lie ahead, are essentials so that they can make an informed choice about acceptance and type of rehabilitation. However, to date, little material is available to facilitate communication between the professional and the patient and his/her family. In this perspective, our research team has developed a video which aims to improve the knowledge of people and loved ones on intensive functional rehabilitation (RFI) and its care settings. The objectives of this study are: 1. Evaluate the effect of viewing the video on post-stroke patients and their relatives on: - Perceived stress - Anxiety - Knowledge on intensive functional rehabilitation 2. Measure participants satisfaction regarding the video 3. Evaluate the association between socio-demographic outcomes (age, sex, degree of impairment, relation with the patient, NIHSS, MRS) and perceived stress, anxiety and knowledge regarding rehabilitation.
