Filter by:Purpose: The purpose of this research is to pilot test a novel, alternative, potentially sustainable system of teacher-delivered, task-shifted adolescent mental health care. Participants: Principals of 60 rural, low-cost private secondary schools of the Darjeeling Himalayas will be invited to participate as a school and an individual. Teachers will be approached individually. Two students per teacher who meet inclusion criteria will be randomly chosen for enrollment. Procedures: This is a RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) guided, mixed methods CRCT, clustered at schools, of Tealeaf-A's Reach, Adoption & Implementation (Primary Outcomes, implementation-based), as well as evaluating for preliminary indicators of Effectiveness & Maintenance (Secondary Outcomes, clinically-based).
The Effect of Gynaecological Drape and Specially Developed Gynaecological Shorts on Anxiety, Pain and Satisfaction Related to First Vaginal Examination in Women: A Randomised Controlled Study
Introduction and Significance: Preventive interventions have been shown to reduce the risk of developing anxiety and depression, making them a critical focus area in mental health promotion for children and adolescents. Enhancing emotion regulation (ER) skills in young people is one approach to preventing anxiety and depression, as ER involves cognitive processes of modifying thoughts and behaviors to manage emotional responses in different contexts. Executive functions (EF), such as cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibition, play a crucial role in ER development and regulation in children and adolescents. Recently, immersive virtual reality (IVR) has emerged as a novel tool for improving cognitive training interventions' accessibility and effectiveness. IVR allows users to experience immersive, three-dimensional environments, where they can interact with objects and events in a highly engaging and realistic way. Considering these developments, this study aims to explore the potential benefits of Enhance VR, a gamified IVR program designed to improve ER skills and reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms among children and adolescents. Methodology: The study will be a longitudinal, parallel, single-blind, randomized controlled pilot trial involving 80 Spanish - or English-speaking participants aged 10 to 16 years old. Participants will be excluded if they have severe psychiatric or neurodevelopmental disorders, physical, motor, or sensory impairments, or a risk of experiencing high cybersickness symptomatology during the VR experience. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: an experimental group receiving E-Emotio VR and a control group receiving a placebo-based VR relaxation experience. Both VR interventions will last five weeks, two times a week, for 30 minutes. The experimental group will engage in six games targeting cognitive flexibility, planning, reappraisal strategies, working memory, divided and sustained attention, and processing speed. The control group will be immersed in ten different nature-based VR environments and perform relaxation exercises. Baseline and post-intervention assessments will be conducted using age-adapted validated measures of depressive and anxiety symptoms, ER, executive function (working memory, cognitive flexibility, inhibition, and planning), and attention. Following the intervention, the assessment battery will be re-administered by a blinded assessor, and statistical analyses will be conducted for all the primary and secondary measures assessed before and after the intervention in both groups. Conclusion: In summary, this study aims to contribute to the development of effective preventive interventions for emotion regulation and mental health symptoms in children and adolescents by promoting ER through gamified VR cognitive training. The study's findings could have significant implications for mental health research, educational and clinical practice. By exploring the potential benefits of VR cognitive training, this research has the potential to inform future studies and clinical interventions aimed at improving young people's mental health and well-being. The gamification of cognitive training interventions could be a powerful tool for increasing engagement and motivation among young people, making them more likely to participate in such interventions.
Psychoneuromentalism Disorder is a disorder arising in the mind; that is related to the mental and emotional state of a person. It is the science of mental life. The body has a natural design to heal itself. This is a mental phenomena that cannot be explained, until now. Psychoneuromentalism Disorder is a new condition resulting from behavioral impairments, neurodiversity, and neurobehavioral dysfunctions that are related to the mental and emotional state of a participant.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate if non-invasive, distracting devices (virtual reality) can decrease anxiety and improve affect and satisfaction in adult, hospitalized patients.
This pragmatic, randomized study seeks to evaluate the applications of a novel vibrating device for reducing pediatric anxiety and distress during vascular access procedures.
The goal of this intervention program is to provide the feasibility of a culturally adapted version of the SOLAR program among mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) workers who provide psychological or psychosocial support to the survivors of the earthquakes on February 6, 2023, in Türkiye. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Will the SOLAR Group Program reduce psychological distress at the post-test and follow-up compared to the pre-test? 2. Will the SOLAR Group Program reduce secondary traumatic stress at the post-test and follow-up compared to the pre-test? 3. Will the SOLAR Group Program reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms at the post-test and follow-up compared to pre-test? Participants will be asked to sign a consent form. Upon accepting it, they will fill out: - a demographic form, - the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), - Assessment of Suicidal Thoughts for the screening. Before the SOLAR intervention program, participants will be asked to complete: - the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS), - Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), - the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) if they approve participation in these surveys. After collecting their pre-test scores, they will receive the SOLAR intervention program. During the program, they will be asked to participate in each session, lasting 5 weeks. After the program, they will be asked to participate process evaluation interview.
This study will be conducted with a randomized controlled study model to examine the effect of music therapy on nausea, vomiting and anxiety levels in children diagnosed with oncological cancer receiving cisplatin. The research is planned to be carried out at Dokuz Eylül University Nevvar-Salih İşgören Children's Hospital Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Clinic between December 2023 and December 2024. There is no application for music therapy in the operation of this hospital and clinic.
The aim of this pre-post observational study is to explore if it is feasible to implement 1) routine mental health screening and b) an online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) treatment for anxiety and/or depression (named COMPASS-MS) for people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (PwMS) and co-morbid psychological distress in routine care.
This study aims to: Assess the effect of virtual reality and modified progressive muscle relaxation distraction techniques on anxiety, attention and getting distracted from the external environment among cardiac care unit patients. Research hypotheses: H1: Patients who receive VR intervention have lower Hamilton Anxiety Rating (HAM-A) scores than those who receive modified PMR intervention. H2: Patients who receive VR intervention exhibit improvement in their physiological parameters than those who receive modified PMR intervention. H3: Patients who receive VR intervention have lower Attention/Distraction scores than those who receive modified PMR intervention.
