Filter by:Health care workers (HCW) face distressing work related situations that pose a threat to the HCW's resilience and well-being. Hospital-based peer support programs can improve HCW well-being, but there are few programs and little data for settings outside of hospitals. The program would adapt, implement, and evaluate an evidence-informed peer support program (RISE) in ambulatory practices, rural hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), and community based organizations (CBOs). The hypothesis is that the availability of peer support will improve the culture of well-being, and the resilience and well-being of HCW in participating organizations. The research has the potential to improve the quality of life of HCW and the quality of care available to diverse organizations and the populations the HCW serve.
The purpose of this study is to assess changes in self-reported anxiety over the course of six virtual reality (VR) sessions and to assess changes in academic self-efficacy, as well as examine the feasibility and acceptability of a relatively short and time intensive VR intervention (i.e.,six sessions over the course of three weeks) for reducing anxiety symptoms in college students.
The study investigates the associations of ambulatory electrodermal activity (EDA) measurements with mental well-being at work, especially job burnout. Appropriate statistical methods are applied to predict burnout with EDA measurements combined with self-report surveys on emotional valence.
Recent studies on health personnel in Colombia have evidenced the considerable increase in the levels of stress and anxiety, among other psychological disorders, as a product of the COVID-19 pandemic that is being experienced since 2019 and that implies a greater demand for attention from the affected citizens, with the consequent work overload and tension due to the risk of contagion. Thus, the present work will allow the generation of new knowledge in relation to the benefits of Vitamin N therapy in Colombia; which can contribute quickly and effectively to the reduction of stress levels, anxiety, insomnia, and depression in individuals, when compared with conventional interventions and result in possible benefits such as the reduction of health problems such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and diseases associated with the immune system.
Purpose: The study was conducted to examine the effect of web-based progressive muscle relaxation exercise on the perceived stress and anxiety level of nursing students who were in clinical practice for the first time. Method: This randomized controlled study was conducted at a state university in Turkey. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 66 nursing students, 36 of whom were control and 30 interventions, who were educated in the 2021-2022 academic year, were in clinical practice for the first time and agreed to participate in the research. The intervention group was asked to perform a total of 36 sessions of progressive muscle relaxation exercise, 3 days a week for 12 weeks. Data; It was collected using the "Sociodemographic Characteristics Form", "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (DSQ)" and "Perceived Stress Inventory (PSI)".
Hysteroscopy is a common procedure where a camera attached to a thin scope is passed into the uterus via the vagina and cervix in order to obtain views of the inside of the uterus. Hysteroscopy is used for the diagnosis and management of a variety of benign and conditions as well as the diagnosis of uterine cancer. It can be performed under general anaesthetic or in an outpatient setting without formal anaesthetic. The latter has several advantages when compared to hysteroscopy with general anaesthesia as it avoids the additional risk of general anaesthesia, has a quicker recovery time, shorter hospital stay and reduced cost. However, women may experience discomfort or pain during an outpatient procedure and pain is one of the most common reasons for failure to complete the procedure. The most appropriate way to manage pain and anxiety during outpatient hysteroscopy is not yet fully understood and conventional therapy, as recommended by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, involves the use of simple pain killers taken prior to the procedure and sometimes local anaesthetic during the procedure. In recent years virtual reality software has been developed and used in a variety of different settings to alleviate pain and anxiety during medical procedures. This study aims to investigate whether the use of virtual reality as an adjunct to conventional pain management can reduce anxiety and pain during outpatient hysteroscopy. The study will take the form of a randomised controlled trial at St Mary's hospital London. A randomly selected group of patients undergoing outpatient hysteroscopy with conventional management plus the addition of virtual reality software will be compared to a control group of patients undergoing the procedure with conventional management only.
This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of mandala painting on the anxiety of coronary heart patients.
In recent years, radiofrequency ablation has gradually become a first-line treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation. Radiofrequency ablation is an invasive procedure that lasts several hours, patients can experience varying degrees of discomfort and pain despite the use of analgesics. Mindfulness meditation requires the trainer to focus on breathing during the training process, while being non-critical and consciously observing various sensations on the body. It has a good effect in reducing pain, fatigue, negative emotions and strengthening coping with stressful events. With the rapid development of science and technology, meditation is no longer confined to traditional forms. The meditation method with the help of mobile communication technology and brain-computer interface technology can improve efficiency and convenience, and is more personalized. It has been recognized in many studies. The brain-computer interface is to establish a channel between the human brain and the computer that does not rely on conventional brain information output. Using techniques such as electroencephalogram, the spontaneous biopotential of the brain is amplified and recorded from the scalp. This study aims to explore the impact of mindfulness meditation with devices based on brain-computer interface technology on patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation. In order to improve the negative experience of patients during ablation, ensure the safety of patients during ablation, promote postoperative recovery, and increase satisfaction. The pain intensity, fatigue level, anxiety and depression of the meditation group and the control group were compared by the scale. Record relevant vital signs and adverse events. The investigators hypothesized that the pain, fatigue, anxiety and depression of the meditation group would be lower than those of the control group.
Up to half of autistic people experience anxiety symptoms, which can have a significant impact on everyday wellbeing. However, there are currently very few effective, evidence-based interventions to support autistic people in managing anxiety; and many autistic people face barriers in accessing inperson health and social care services. Therefore, developing new interventions (and/ or adapting existing ones) that improve anxiety, in a way that meets the needs of autistic people, represents the autism community's number one priority for research and clinical practice. Addressing this priority, the investigators will test the acceptability and feasibility of a new, app-based therapeutic approach for anxiety ('Molehill Mountain') that has been developed with, and adapted for, autistic people aged 12-years and over using adapted Cognitive Behavioural therapy principles. This means that information will be collected from autistic people accessing clinical services on whether they would choose to use the anxiety app, whether the app is simple to administer and use, how it is used, how it can be improved, and whether it is effective in reducing anxiety symptoms and/ or enhancing other outcomes, such as everyday wellbeing and functioning. The evidence from this project will inform the future optimisation and implementation of Molehill Mountain in a randomised-controlled trial, with the ultimate aim of transforming long-term healthcare delivery for autistic people.
Many medical interventions, including dressing change of central venous catheters, can cause anxiety and pain in children with cancer. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of cartoon watching technique on anxiety and pain during central venous catheter dressing changes in children with cancer.
