Filter by:The Internet shows its presence in areas where human beings are actively involved, from education to health, from entertainment to the investment sector. The integration of the Internet into many areas of human life leads to its intensive use. According to the Global Digital Report, the number of individuals with access to the Internet worldwide at the beginning of 2024 is stated as 5.35 billion, and this number constitutes more than 66% of the total world population. One of the pioneering studies on internet addiction was conducted by Young. In this study, five subtypes of internet addiction were identified. These are cyber sex addiction (obsessive use of adult sites such as cyber sex, cyber porn), cyber relationship addiction (excessive involvement in online relationships), net compulsions (online gambling, shopping and trading), information overload (on websites). and constantly surfing databases) and computer addiction (playing computer games). Considering the sub-dimensions of internet addiction, it is seen that it affects many areas of life, from family life to interpersonal relationships, from social life to economic life. Conscious awareness is the awareness of one's internal state and environment. Mindfulness can help people avoid destructive or automatic habits and reactions by learning to observe their thoughts, feelings, and other momentary experiences without judging or reacting. Acting based on awareness is a much different way of life than the autopilot approach in which the individual carries out his daily routines and activities. In studies, mindfulness is examined not only to prevent the recurrence of addiction, but also as a long-term, ongoing health behavior that supports the recovery of addiction. Determining the effect of a mindfulness-based intervention program applied to adolescent nursing students studying at a university on internet addiction and awareness. is intended.
The goal of this observational study is to observe baropodometric parameters such as postural sway and foot pressure distrubiton in healthy young participants between the ages of 18-35. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does headphone usage affect baropodometric parameters in healthy young individuals? - How does texting affect baropodometric parameters in healthy young individuals? - How does headphone usage while texting affect baropodometric parameters in healthy young individuals? Participants will: - Only be evaluated once. - Stand on the Baropodometric device platform while standing, texting, listening to music, texting while listening to music for the static and posturographic balance evaluation. - Walk on the baropdometric device platform while standing, texting, listening to music, texting while listening to music for dynamic evaluation.
This study will investigate the effects of physical activity in young adults. With the increase in physical activity, the change in smartphone addiction, pain and sleep quality parameters will be evaluated.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the dissemination and implementation process of two transdiagnostic psychological interventions (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for Substance Use Disorders-DBT-SUD and Unified Protocol-UP) to treat alcohol addiction by mental health practitioners in the Spanish National Health System. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Are there differences before and after receiving DBT-SUD and UP training in the attitudes toward evidence-based psychological treatments (EBPTs), level of burnout and organizational climate and readiness to implement the interventions in mental health practitioners working with alcohol addiction? What is the degree of acceptability and intention to use the interventions in clinical practice with people with alcohol addiction of the practitioners after each training (DBT-SUD and UP)? In what degree the implementation outcomes (adoption, reach, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, sustainability) will be achieved by the practitioners implementing DBT-SUD and UP in clinical practice? What are the main barriers and facilitators that practitioners will encounter during the process of implementing DBT-SUD and UP in clinical practice? What variables will predict a successful implementation considering previous characteristics of the professionals and the organizational outcomes? The study comprises two phases. In the first phase, mental health professionals working on addiction services of the Spanish National Health System will be randomly assigned to receive training in one intervention and then the other (DBT-SUD and UP) and will be evaluated before and after each training. In the second phase, participants will be randomly assigned to implement one intervention first and then the other in their workplaces with people with alcohol addiction and will be also assessed before and after the implementation. Qualitative and quantitate outcome measures will be analyzed using a Mixed- Methods-Design.
In this study, the researchers aim to investigate the effects of strengthening and respiratory exercises on the face and online on functional capacity.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a culturally grounded training program, xaʔtus (meaning First Face) for Mental Health. This program will train community members in how to recognize and respond to youth and adults experiencing mental health crises and ways to serve as a bridge between these individuals and the help they need. All Healing Lodge staff are being asked to complete First Face training. To evaluate First Face, the investigators will ask all trainees to complete surveys before and after training, and again 3 months later. These surveys will measure knowledge about mental health and addiction, as well as the ability and confidence to respond appropriately to mental health crises. The study will help the investigators understand whether the First Face training program influences mental health and attitudes, as well as responses to mental health crisis situations.
One of the most important factors why young people spend inactive time is the time they spend in front of the screen. Sedentary screen time refers to time spent using a screen-based device, such as a computer, television, smartphone, or tablet while being sedentary in any environment. The last decade has seen a disturbing increase in the amount of time young people spend in front of screens. Research shows that musculoskeletal disorders in the hand, wrist, arm, and neck occur at a high rate due to long-term and repetitive use of the smartphone, one of the electronic devices. People with musculoskeletal pain often complain of more than one area of pain. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between university students' use of various screen-based devices, the time they spend in front of the screen, and the number of painful areas they report on the body. Our secondary aim is to evaluate the relationship between pain, and screen time, and physical activity level.
The current available pharmacological treatment formulations (i.e., daily formulations of buprenorphine or methadone) for OUD in France may have several inconveniences, such as: compliance, burden of daily intake, and risk of misuse; that may hinder their effectiveness. Long acting formulations of buprenorphine (LAB) such as Buvidal have been developed to favor retention and compliance and minimize the risk of diversion. Previous studies are promising on the advantage of LAB to treat opioid addiction, however more evidence is needed in the French healthcare context. However, in addition to randomized clinical trials, the French National Healthcare Agency (HAS "Haute Autorité de Santé") recommends conducting "real-life" studies (i.e., in naturalistic conditions) during the development of a medication and the use of "Patient Reported Outcome Measures" (PROMs) to analyze patient quality of life and/or other measures relevant to patients (e.g., severity, efficiency), without interpretation of the answers by a health professional. In this regard, our study proposes to use the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) self-report questions and several scales on treatment satisfaction and quality of life to collect the patient's opinion of perceived changes following the use of Buvidal. Main objectives: The objectives of this prospective open observational study, in naturalistic conditions, are to examine in individuals with an opioid use disorder, over a period of 6 months after LAB treatment initiation: the change in substance addiction severity and the changes in health-related quality of life, craving, opioids and other substance and non-substance uses and misuses, alcohol, tobacco and non-substance addiction severity, satisfaction with LAB treatment, severity of others domains related to addiction severity (i.e., medical, social, psychological) and psychiatric comorbidities Main hypotheses: 1. Hypothesize was that LAB will be associated with a stable (if prior remission) or a reduction of the CS of "Drug use" (i.e., substance addiction severity) at 6 months compared to baseline. 2. Hypothesize was that LAB will be associated with a stable (if prior remission) or a reduction of opioids and other substance and non-substance uses and misuses, other substances and non-substances addiction severity, craving, severity of others domains related to addiction (i.e., medical status, employment and support, family/social status, psychological status), an improvement of quality of life and a good satisfaction with treatment at follow-ups compared to baseline.
The study focuses on fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by chronic pain, fatigue, and associated issues like sleep disorders, depression, and anxiety. The investigators' goal is to detect smart phone addiction among fibromyalgia patients and assess potential improvements in their quality of life and smart phone addiction after receiving fibromyalgia education. Participants will report their recent exercise, social activities, sleep quality, and screen time for the past week. They will also complete the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) to measure pain and physical function and the Smart Phone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV) to assess smart phone use. Diaries will track daily exercise, socialization, sleep, and screen time for 20 days. The intervention group will receive fibromyalgia education, covering an overview of fibromyalgia, coping strategies, and discussions on the impact of digital addictions. This education, delivered via a brief Microsoft PowerPoint program presentation by a physician, aims to help patients. After 20 days, all participants will redo the FIQR and SAS-SV assessments, and diary data will be collected. This study examines how physician-provided fibromyalgia education affects pain levels, quality of life, smart phone addiction, socialization, exercise, sleep, and screen time based on patient diaries. The results will deepen our understanding of how brief education can enhance the lives of fibromyalgia patients and aid in developing more effective strategies to manage pain and improve their quality of life.
