Filter by:Anxiety is a form of psychic and/or physical discomfort caused by the feeling of the imminence of a danger. It is a frequent perioperative manifestation of patients. Pharmacological premedication is currently used to avoid perioperative anxiety. However, its effect is now controversial and non-drug techniques have been also studied. The therapeutic communication aims to provide analgesia or anxiolysis to enhance the patient's well-being and to separate the patient from the surrounding reality through the suggestion of positive images with a chosen verbal and nonverbal approach. This prospective, monocentric, comparative, double-blind study aims to evaluate the impact of the training of stretcher-bearers in therapeutic communication on the anxiety of patients who go to the operating room for an endoscopic examination under general anaesthesia.Two groups of patients will be compared: In the first group patients will be accompanied to the operating room by a stretcher-bearer trained in therapeutic communication, in the second group patients will be accompanied by a stretcher bearer without this specific training.
This study evaluates whether a brief psychological intervention, known as a self-affirmation intervention which works by allowing one to recognise their own value, can improve well-being. This study also evaluates whether more of these interventions will lead to greater increases in well-being, and also measures self-esteem and anxiety to examine their potential involvement in the self-affirmation process. Participants are randomly assigned to either a self-affirmation intervention group, a 'booster' self-affirmation group whereby they receive the intervention twice, or a control group (no intervention). Participant's well-being, self-esteem and anxiety are assessed at baseline (before the intervention), 1 week, and 2 weeks after the intervention. It is hypothesised that those who undergo self-affirmation will have more improved levels of well-being than those who do not; those who undergo the self-affirmation twice will have the most improved levels of well-being. It is also hypothesised that self-esteem and state anxiety will be involved in the self-affirmation process and potentially mediate the effects of self-affirmation on well-being.
The objective of the study is to determine if playing the song "Weightless" by Marconi Union during labor epidural placement, decreases laboring parturient anxiety and improves satisfaction with the experience.
Cancer patients will be randomly shown one of 18 emotional support messages created by the research team that differ based on how much of the message consists of positive statements and how much consists of negative statements. The messages with negative statements also differ based on whether the negative statements occur at the start or end of the message. After viewing the message, participants have the opportunity to rate the effectiveness of the message, to what extent the message made them feel better, and to what extent the message affects how they view the message provider as a useful source of emotional support.

The current refugee crisis across the Middle East and Europe has large effects on individual refugees' psychological well-being, as well as on the healthcare systems of countries hosting refugees. For example, in Switzerland patients sometimes have to wait up to 12 months for the specific psychological treatment due to a lack of specialists. To address this problem the WHO has developed Problem Management Plus (PM+), a brief (five sessions), low-intensity psychological intervention, delivered by paraprofessionals, that addresses common mental disorders in people in communities affected by adversity. The feasibility of PM+ has never been examined in Switzerland before, this is the aim of the current pilot study.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of counseling for prenatal screening and diagnostic tests on pregnant women's decisional conflict, being sure of the decision, anxiety levels, and attitudes towards the tests. This prospective randomized controlled intervention study was conducted between the dates June 2017 and March 2018 in a training and research hospital, department of obstetrics and gynecology. The sample of the study consisted of 210 pregnant women who took antenatal care between the 8-11th gestational weeks of whom 112 were in the intervention group and 98 were in the control group. The data were collected by using Data Collection Form, The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI I-II), Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS), Sure Scale (SURE), Knowledge Evaluation Form about Prenatal Genetic Screening and Diagnostic Tests, Prenatal Counseling Satisfaction Form, Decision Satisfaction Form and Attitudes towards the tests Scale. The study carried out in two stages. In the first stage; women's data were collected before and after participating prenatal genetic screening tests. After the results of the screening test were taken, the data were collected again. Counseling was provided for 112 pregnant women about prenatal screening and diagnostic tests before participating tests. Routine clinical information was given for 98 pregnant women who were in control group. Both groups were pre and post-tested at the same times. In the second phase, pregnant women who had diagnostic tests were evaluated. Counseling for prenatal genetic diagnosis tests was provided for 31 pregnant women in inetervetion group women and routine clinical information was providen for 26 pregnant women who were in control group. Data were collected again with data collection tools before and after the diagnostic test.
The proposed clinical intervention is a modular skills-based intervention for flexible delivery of care, measurement-based care practices, and integration of exposure strategies critical for anxiety symptom reduction. Notably, the treatment targets anxiety symptoms rather than diagnoses to improve use in PCMHI and CBOC settings. The pilot study will develop and conduct preliminary testing of bCBT for anxiety using Veterans Affairs (VA) Video Connect to Home (VVC-H) to deliver care.
