NCT ID: NCT06132022 Completed - Anxiety Clinical Trials

The Effect of Mandala Application on Anxiety Level and Caregiver Burden in Palliative Care

MANDALAPLIC
Start date: May 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The caregivers of palliative care patients can also be negatively affected during the palliative care process. Especially family caregivers may experience difficulties in physical, social, economic, and psychological aspects. Non-pharmacological approaches are utilized to cope with these difficulties. The mandala study is one of the non-pharmacological approaches and has been utilized to support patients and caregivers in various illnesses. Mandala is a method that anyone can apply, based on coloring circular patterns. Recent studies have reported that mandala contributes to improving psychological and physiological well-being. This study is designed in a randomized controlled design to examine the effects of mandala application on anxiety levels and caregiver burden in palliative care caregivers. Caregivers who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to two groups using a computer program. Both groups of caregivers will be administered an information form, the STAI XT-1 State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Zarit Burden Interview Scale. Then, the intervention group will be asked to apply mandala twice a week for 30 minutes for one month. After one month, the scales will be administered again. The caregivers in the control group will not receive any intervention, and after one month, the scales will be administered, and mandala application will be suggested. According to G Power analysis, with a Type I error (α) of 0.05 and a power (1-β) of 0.80, the minimum sample size that will meet the requirements is determined to be a total of 86 individuals (experimental: 43, control: 43). Considering potential sample loss, the aim is to reach 45 participants in each group. The statistical analysis of the data will be performed using SPSS version 22.0. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, median, standard deviation, mean, minimum, maximum, percentage, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normal distribution (N>30), skewness, and kurtosis will be used for sociodemographic characteristics. Correlation tests will be used for scale relationships, and ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, t-test, or Mann-Whitney U test and post-hoc tests will be used for scale comparisons according to independent variables. The significance level will be accepted as p<0.05.

NCT ID: NCT05975918 Not yet recruiting - Mental Disorder Clinical Trials

The Effect of Motivational Interview Intervention for Caregivers of Individuals With Severe Mental Disorders

Start date: August 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Serious mental illnesses are all chronic illnesses such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and other psychotic disorders, major depression, and bipolar disorder, which cause impaired functioning in areas such as activities of daily living, self-care, social relationships, professional and academic life, quality time, etc. These chronic illnesses are a significant source of stress for the patient and family members. With the transition to community-based practices in the care of chronic mental illnesses, t he duties of families have increased and as a result, have had significant negative effects on caregiver and family functioning. Caregivers face many challenges and these challenges cause caregivers to experience feelings such as anxiety, stress, fear, guilt, helplessness, hopelessness, powerlessness, loss, and anger. It is understood that families are in significant need of psychosocial support interventions that will enable them to develop effective coping methods and reduce stress and anxiety. Themotivationall Interviewing Technique is one of the methods that can be applied to the caregivers of individuals diagnosed with chronic mental illness to adapt to the situation and cope with the difficulties they experience. Motivational Interviewing does not deal with issues such as teaching new information or ensuring acceptance of the past. It focuses on the individual's current stress, anxiety and dilemmas, goals, and plans. Studies show that any intervention that will contribute to the caregiver's coping attitude and psychological distress level will also support the empowerment of the sick individual. For this purpose, the study was planned to determine the effect of motivational interviewing intervention for caregivers of individuals with serious mental disorders on psychological distress and coping attitudes.

NCT ID: NCT05970471 Not yet recruiting - Cancer Clinical Trials

Preferences of Patients Treated With Oral Cancer Drugs and Informal Caregivers for Pharmaceutical Consultation in Hospital

IMPLICATION
Start date: September 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

To ensure the safe use of oral anticancer drugs, oncology pharmacy consultations (OPCs) have been established in France. Their goal is to provide the patient with the means to identify, prevent and limit adverse effects and to know who to refer to in case of a serious adverse effect, perform a pharmaceutical analysis of the prescription, and participate in the improvement and evaluation of overall compliance. OPCs are conditioned by the needs, expectations, and involvement of the patients in their care. In healthcare, patients are increasingly encouraged to play an active role in the knowledge and management of their health, express their concerns and preferences, and participate in medical decisions. Thus, it is essential to elicit their preferences. The discrete-choice experiment (DCE) is the validated and recommended method of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research for such a task.

NCT ID: NCT05441384 Recruiting - Cancer Clinical Trials

It's Time to Address Fear of Cancer Recurrence in Family Caregivers: Online Version of the Fear Of Recurrence Therapy

FC-FORT
Start date: October 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is common, persistent, and is associated with negative outcomes. Studies show that family caregivers (FC) of cancer patients experience equal or greater levels of FCR than patients themselves. In the past 5 years, several interventions have demonstrated their ability to reduce FCR among cancer patients, including a group intervention called Fear of Recurrence Therapy (FORT). However, none have ever been adapted and offered to caregivers. The goals of the proposed study are to demonstrate 1) that a newly adapted intervention of FORT (FC-FORT) is feasible (i.e., participant recruitment, attendance and participation) and acceptable (i.e., FC satisfaction of the intervention) for a larger study, and 2) the clinical implications of FC- FORT on FCR and quality of life. An advisory board composed of researchers, therapists, and FC was created to adapt FORT for FC and to an online format. FC and therapists are currently being recruited to conduct a usability study of the newly adapted FC-FORT. They will be asked to complete a session feedback questionnaire after each session and to take part in an exit interview. The content of these will be summarized back to the advisory board in order to further refine FC-FORT. Following a successful usability study, FC-FORT will be given to four groups of nine new FC (pilot study). Participants will be recruited directly by clinicians and by outreach mailout efforts. They will complete a questionnaire package before and after the intervention, as well as at a three month follow up. The proposed study is needed to determine if an already developed FCR intervention can be adapted to family caregivers and if it can be successfully pilot tested. This will help bridge an important gap in bringing evidence-based care to caregivers who have never been offered help before for their FCR. The proposed project will also allow to further feasibility and acceptability of E-Health interventions.

NCT ID: NCT05433558 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Acquired Brain Injury

Effectiveness of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Program for Disease of Adaptation in Patients With Acquired Brain Injury and Caregivers

Start date: January 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Acquired brain injury is mental function damage caused by different reasons (such as cerebral neuropathy, head injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke, brain tumor, etc.). After the injury, patient has mental, cognitive, behavioral, body function, and other impairments, which makes patient still need the assistance of family members. For patients with brain injury in subacute stage, clinician assesses their needs for follow-up rehabilitation intervention programs in an appropriate way to assist patients who have the potential to return home to make care plans. In the process of rehabilitation, family members support patients, accompany patients to face and cope with changes in physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects, and help patients return to life, which is the key factor for successful rehabilitation. When family members have good coping strategies, they will also have a better mood and quality of life, which will also contribute to the rehabilitation process of patients. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the psychological coping strategies used by family caregivers in the care process and the neuropsychological function of patients. This study is divided into three stages. In the first stage, it is expected to receive 30 groups of patients and their families. Semi-structured in-depth interviews and questionnaires will be conducted for caregivers of family members with brain injury, to explore the psychological adjustment strategies developed by family caregivers in the process of care, and neuropsychological assessment will be conducted for patients to understand the impact of disease on patients' neuropsychological functions, to serve as the direction of neuropsychological intervention. In the second stage, 230 family members of patients are expected to be collected. According to the psychological adjustment strategy framework constructed in phase I, appropriate neuropsychological tests and self-report questionnaires are selected to evaluate the family members of patients, and the scale is compiled. In the third stage, it is expected to collect 60 groups of patients and their families. Through screening tests, the ecological neuropsychological intervention will be carried out for those who have an insufficient psychological function or psychological distress, and the results of neuropsychological function and psychological status before and after the intervention will be tested with evaluation tools. The objective of this study is to provide a specific framework for clinical workers and families of patients with brain injury to face difficulties together and to increase the direction of clinical psychological intervention in the future.
