Filter by:This study was planned to determine the effect of Emotional Freedom Technique on perceived pain level, situational anxiety, salivary cortisol and satisfaction level during mammography screening.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a peer-delivered emotion regulation training (Brief-Unified Protocol) workshop is effective for preventing posttraumatic stress and other psychological health symptoms in firefighter trainees. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do firefighter recruits who receive peer-delivered Brief-Unified Protocol report lower PTSD symptom severity over time compared to those who receive psychoeducation? - Do firefighter recruits who receive peer-delivered Brief-Unified Protocol report lower AUD, depression, anxiety, and functional impairment symptom severity over time compared to those who receive psychoeducation? - Do changes in neuroticism or emotion regulation mediate the effect of receiving the Brief-Unified Protocol on the treatment outcomes? Participants will: - Participate in a Brief-Unified Protocol workshop or psychoeducation workshop during fire academy training. - Complete a questionnaire and clinical interview prior to the workshop. - Complete a questionnaire immediately following the workshop and follow up questionnaires at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after completing the fire academy. Researchers will compare firefighters who receive a peer-delivered Brief-Unified Protocol workshop to firefighters who receive peer-delivered psychoeducation to see if the Brief-Unified Protocol is effective for preventing posttraumatic stress and other psychological health symptoms.
The purpose of the current study is to investigate the usefulness of a Relaxation and Guided Imagery intervention for the reduction of asthmatic symptoms in adults and children whose asthma symptoms are aggravated, or triggered by anxiety. This study will replicate the previous literature to further investigate the impact that a Relaxation and Guided Imagery intervention can have on anxiety and related asthmatic symptoms using a multiple baseline (small sample size) research design. Participants will fill out questionnaires, listen to RGI audio tapes, and provide lung functioning samples by blowing into a spirometer.
This is a prospective, crossover study of healthy participants evaluating the mechanical pain threshold for weighted pinprick stimuli.
Endoscopy with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a primary technique for diagnosing and treating severe pancreatic disorders. However, the procedure can cause fear and anxiety in patients, especially when a biopsy is involved. Graphic medicine, a form of visual storytelling that explores narratives of healthcare, is being used to alleviate this anxiety. This is a prospective single-center interventional pilot study with the aim to evaluate the impact of a novel graphic on the stress and behaviors of patients with pancreatic lesions undergoing EUS-FNB. The study will run for six months with the aim to enroll patients to llok for differences in the anxiety and stress levels. Enrolled patients will be randomly allocated to the test or control group, with the test group receiving a graphic novel to read while waiting for the procedure. Post-procedure, patients will complete the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and a modified version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (mDASS-21), now named mASS-14 (modified Anxiety Stress Scales-14), to assess anxiety and stress levels. This study is conducted according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki regarding experimentation involving human subjects, and written informed consent will be obtained from all participants before enrollment.
Many cancer patients suffer from pain, sleep, and mood problems and are using cannabis to relieve these symptoms. Cannabis may provide such relief but may also produce negative side effects including cognitive impairment, an especially problematic issue for cancer patients, indicating more research on cannabis use in the cancer context is required. In this endeavor, the present study seeks to compare the use of hemp-derived CBD (Cannabidiol) with and without THC (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) versus placebo on measures of sleep, pain, mood, subjective and objective cognitive functioning, and quality of life within 185 cancer patients.
The study was designed as a descriptive study. The universe of the study is İzzet Baysal Training and Research Hospital; It consists of patients who underwent coronary angiography in the coronary intensive care unit.
Background: Radiotherapy is a mainstay of treatment for ENT cancers, and its indication is frequent. Patients are positioned and immobilized using a thermoplastic mask, which is attached to the treatment table for the duration of each daily treatment. The mask's purpose is to prevent patient movement and ensure reproducible positioning. The advantages of using thermoplastic masks come at a cost for many patients. It is well established that mask fixation and mask anxiety are major concerns for patients, adversely affecting their quality of life and hindering treatment compliance. Surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT) enables patients to be positioned and their movements monitored in real time during treatment. This technique has become more widely available in recent years, and is attractive because it does not involve ionizing radiation. However, although preliminary data have suggested a potential reduction in anxiety, this technique has not been evaluated for ENT RT in anxious/claustrophobic patients who cannot tolerate immobilization masks. Objective: Investigators propose a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of using SGRT to manage position for patients with ENT cancer who report claustrophobia/anxiety. Methodology: 15 participants will be recruited by the treating radiation oncologist from among patients scheduled to undergo radiation therapy at CHUM for their ENT cancer and identifying as claustrophobic/anxious. Participants who consent will be scheduled to undergo their radiotherapy using SGRT. Patients will be systematically treated with Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) using SGRT on the linear accelerator with the Optical Surface Management System (OSMS) for the duration of the radiotherapy. Measures: Patients' anxiety will be assessed using the GAD-7 and the CLQ throughout the treatment process. The feasibility and accuracy of radiotherapy treatment will be assessed using planning and daily pre-treatment examinations. In addition, skin toxicity will be assessed weekly. Analyses: 1) Descriptive analyses, i.e. frequencies for categorical variables and means and standard deviations for continuous variables. 2) Estimation of confidence intervals. Anticipated outcomes: Completion of this pilot project will enable investigators to plan and refine the methodological and organizational aspects for a large-scale study, i.e., a Phase III clinical trial comparing the use of SGRT with the use of a thermoplastic immobilization mask for anxious patients.
There is a lack of data on patients self-reported outcomes (PROMs) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL)and symptoms on anxiety and depression 10 years after Surgical After Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR), and patient reported experiences with the health services (PREMS). In this 10-years follow-up study on patients alive from the study named "The Impact of 24/ 7-phone Support on Readmission After Aortic Valve Replacement, a Randomized Clinical Trial (AVRre)" NCT02522663 we will repeat the survey on symtoms on anxiety and depresion using Hospital Anxiety and depression Scale (HADS), health-related quality of life (EQ-5D) and questions about experiences with the health services.
Adapting mental health treatments to address modifiable interpersonal problems has the potential to improve and sustain outcomes in low-resource settings where treatment gaps persist. This K23 Award will prepare the candidate to become an independent investigator with high-impact public health research and expertise in couple-based interventions that address interrelated mental health problems and intimate partner violence in couples by gaining expertise in engagement and treatment of men, adapting an evidence-based treatment for common mental disorders to address IPV in couples, designing and conducting randomized controlled trials with couples, and professional skills development. This work has applicability for low-resource low-income countries and US populations that experience couple-based violence and the mental health treatment gap. With its focus on intimate partners, the intervention also has the potential to benefit health and wellbeing of children.
