Filter by:Work-related stress is a problem due to its repercussions on workers' health and productivity, which is why workplace interventions are required to reduce stress levels through coping techniques. One of the interventions in mental health to reduce levels of work stress are those based on the Internet and mobile applications, with proven effectiveness. Among the interventions are cognitive-behavioral therapies and within these the Problem Solving Therapy (PST). Therefore, there is a need to study the effect of Problem Solving Therapy offered through a web platform on the levels of self-perceived stress. However, there have been no studies on mental health interventions such as the TSP for the reduction of stress levels in office workers. For this reason, the objective of the study is to determine, through a randomized cluster trial, the effectiveness of problem-solving therapy offered through a web platform on self-perceived stress levels. Two scales will measure the levels of stress; one for self-perceived stress and another for work-related stress. Workers who have a high score on both scales will be enrolled. The establishments assigned to the intervention will receive the TSP distributed in 4 sessions. The establishments in the control group would have access to a web page with information on stress management. Immediately after having finished the last session, self-perceived stress levels will be evaluated. One month later a new measurement will be made to evaluate the persistence of the effect.
In this study we aim to study the effectiveness of a specially designed 21 day Brush Day and Night programme for school children aged 6-9 which aims to establish the habit of twice a day toothbrushing for oral health. The 21 day programme is led primarily by teachers with support from a oral health care professional. Schools will be recruited in Indonesia and Nigeria to take part in the study. Half of the schools will run the 21 day programme with their children in school grades 1 to 3, half will act as a control.
Over a 12-week period the investigators will test whether, compared to the Waitlist-Control (WC) condition, administration of the full CRSR intervention improves participants self-reported outcomes of stress, self-efficacy, mindfulness, use of mindfulness strategies, and knowledge. The investigators also will examine the usability, cultural relevance, and user satisfaction.
The overall aim of this program of research is to decrease anxiety in urogical scheduled patients for surgical intervention developing an nursing comunication instrument: a Guide of Hosting for urogical scheduled patients for surgical intervention.
The aim of this school-based cycling intervention called "Cycling and Walk to School" (PACO, for its Spanish acronym) will be to examine their effects on adolescent's cycling to and from school and physical activity (PA). This study will also examine the effects of this intervention in several active commuting to and from school (ACS)-related variables belonging to Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Social-Ecological Model (SEM).
Two randomised controlled trials will be conducted to evaluate a virtual reality (VR) simulation designed to reduce stigma against depression. Qualitative interviews will also be carried out to evaluate the VR simulation.
Designing food and drink that maximizes satiety has long been an ambition of industry and public health. For obvious reasons, foods that fill faster and for longer are desirable to consumers for controlling their weight, and to public health programs that are designed to prevent obesity. Current methods for measuring satiety have weak predictive value, commonly fail to replicate, and are yet to be validated with respect to energy consumption in everyday life. The investigators propose to overcome this deficiency by developing the Omnibus Satiety Metric (OmniSaM). OmniSaM is proposed as a multi-modal metric that targets the full spectrum of processes underlying the satiety cascade, composing brain, blood, mind and behavior of consumers. As a proof-of-concept, subjects (normal BMI) will undergo a preload ad libitum paradigm, with a 2-parameter factorial design comparing milk based products differing in levels of caloric load and protein-to-carbohydrate ratio. The investigators will acquire 1. high-resolution neuroimaging data, whilst 2. simultaneously recording appetitive hormones, 3. blood metabolite composition, 4. subjective sensory indices of appetite and 4. behavioral metrics of consumption.
Despite the evidence and the potential of physical activity related to cognition and academic performance in children, the effects of a before-school physical activity program on these parameters remains unknown.
This study will examine the effects of a school based exercise programme on anxiety and behaviour levels in children with autism.
In this feasibility study the investigators are using a setup of stress-related body sensors including established as well as innovative sensor-based measures to identify predictor profiles for alcohol-related behavioral and neural measures in Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Long-term aim is the definition of a setup of mobile sensors and their integration in a mobile infrastructure that allows the prediction of stress related alcohol intake in an ambulatory setting.
