Filter by:The study includes participants experiencing distress with regard to stopping immunotherapy and will utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy to reduce fear of recurrence, depression, and anxiety and improve quality of life.
The aim is to investigate whether an internet-based compassion course of five modules contributes to reducing stress of conscience and work-related stress, increase the experience of professional quality of life and self-compassion in healthcare professionals.
This study developed an adventure-based cognitive behavioral intervention program for Hong Kong university student. The program effectiveness was evaluated in reducing psychological distress and improving mental health of university students. The 3-month maintenance effect was also tested.
Anxious school refusal (ASR) is a common disorder which concerns more and more adolescents who are at worse completely absent from school. A specific ambulatory cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) program has been established to gradually reintegrate the child back into the school environment with a multidisciplinary team. Alongside school reintegration assessment, the child's overall ability to function and anxiety levels will be measured before and after the program with additional assessments made after a further 6 and 12 months have elapsed.
The aim of this study is find out how CBT-based weight loss program affects on eating behavior, weight loss, mood symptoms and risk for coronary heart diseases and type 2 diabetes and applicability of the program to obesity treatment among patients with comorbid depression. Our hypothesis is that the CBT-based intervention improves long-term weight management results and supports positively the change in eating behavior and the risk for CHD on type 2 DM. The study is randomized controlled one-year intervention study with 1 year follow-up. Study subjects are adult obese (BMI>35) subjects with comorbid depression. Number of randomized study subjects will be 80, 40 in intervention group, 40 in control group. Intervention group will proceed through a 52-week CBT-based weight loss group intervention. The aim of the intervention is to modify eating behavior and lifestyle factors affecting weight and weight maintenance. There will be 22 group counselling of 90 minutes divided in five modules and also three individual person-centered counselling visit, during which participants had an opportunity to discuss their personal concerns about diet and weight loss plan. Control group will receive the usual care of obesity in Kuopio University hospital. (4-8 individual 45-minute visit conducted by dieticians) Study visits are at baseline and one and 2 years after baseline. For example eating behavior, health behavior, motivation and depression are studied with questionnaires. Weight, waist circumference, height and blood pressure are measured. Laboratory tests (lipid, glucose etc) are taken.
This research study is designed to develop and test a new supportive care program to help individuals with lung cancer improve their quality of life after cancer treatment is over.
Since the 80's, the prevalence of obesity has more than doubled and despite progression of knowledge, interventions usually lead to a transient reduction in body weight that is not maintained in the long-term. These failures in weight management may be partly explained by an incomplete understanding of obesity risk and maintaining factors. Behavioral and neurobiological similarities between use of high palatable foods and addictive psychoactive drugs have led to the concept of food addiction. Addiction is defined as a loss of control of use, and its persistence despite accumulation of negative consequences. Craving, an uncontrollable and involuntary urge to use, has shown to be a core determinant of persistent use and relapse in addiction. Recent studies have established that food addiction, craving and emotional eating concern a large part of obese patients, and that food addiction may explain some negative outcomes of weight loss treatments, such as unsuccessful attempts to reduce calories and early termination of treatment programs. Recent advances in neuropsychiatry suggest that an imbalanced interplay between cognitive and affective processes impedes self-control and enhances over- or under-controlled behaviors. In the field of food intake and weight management, there is increasing evidence that besides environmental factors, inefficient executive functions and emotion regulation skills are salient phenomena underlying habit-forming processes that are present in eating disorder subtypes as well as obesity. This has led some authors to consider disordered eating behaviors as 'allostatic' reactions by which the modulation of food intake is used by vulnerable individuals to adjust to craving, maladaptive cognitive and/or emotional strategies. Current recommendations emphasize the need for translating these discoveries into treatments to promote healthy eating and weight management. Over the last 5 years, a growing base of clinical and behavioural studies have indicated that, individually, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotional Skills Training (EST), and Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) are promising techniques to decrease disordered eating behaviors, including craving. The investigators hypothesize that addition to treatment as usual (TAU) of a specific program targeting executive functions, emotional regulation, and addictive-like eating behaviors, could have a beneficial impact on reported food craving, and improve weight management among obese patients.
Patients follow the fully standard sleep test according to the normal procedure. This means that they undergo a polysomnography and fill in a questionnaire. If according to the questionnaire, there is insomnia, the patient also receives an intake interview to check whether this is indeed the case. If the patient has both disorders and meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria, they will be asked to sign the informed consent. If the patient agrees, the CPAP-therapy will be started as usual, simultaneously with CGT-i. The latter will last 7 weeks and will cover the following points: psycho-education, sleep restriction and sleep hygiene, cognition, relaxation and relapse prevention. Because of the design of this study (starting CGT-I as soon as possible after the diagnosis of OSAS) and the groups already planned for CBT-I, it is not possible for all participants to participate in group cognitive behavioral therapy, therefore individual sessions were provided for these participants. The patient comes for monitoring at set times.
Binge eating disorder is the most prevalent eating disorder, with consequences not only economic but also social. It is related to a set of cognitive alterations related to impulsivity, cognitive function, attention, decision making, emotional control and physiological alterations in the Central nervous system (CNS) in the processing of rewards, mainly in the frontal cortical regions. Psychotherapies are the standard reference treatments, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) being the most indicated nonpharmacological intervention. However, the avoidance rates and the rates of non responders to treatment are significant. In view of this, it is believed that therapeutic approaches aimed at the modulation of the CNS, such as Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) may have a beneficial effect on the neurobiology of the processes that govern these disorders, thus adding to the effects of CBT and amplifying the therapeutic response.
