NCT ID: NCT04554264 Withdrawn - Covid19 Clinical Trials

Complicated Grief in ICU in the Aftermath of COVID-19

DEPARTS
Start date: September 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

An increased proportion of deaths occur in the intensive care unit (ICU). Some amenable factors such as end-of-life practices may contribute to complicated grief. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, visitor restrictions in health care facilities have been implemented. Families were also unable to implement usual funerals. The investigators hypothesize that these policies and practices may impact grief during covid-19 pandemic. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of complicated grief after death of a relative in the ICU during the COVID-19 pandemic.

NCT ID: NCT03714516 Completed - Complicated Grief Clinical Trials

Evaluation of a French Unguided Internet-based Intervention for Adults Struggling With Their Partner's Loss

LIVIA-FR
Start date: September 12, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of an unguided self-help program for people struggling with the loss of their partner, either by separation/divorce or death. The self-support program lasts 2 months and a half to 3 months. It was developed in German by a team from the University of Bern and has already proven its effectiveness. All participants will have direct access to the program (there will be no control group). The results obtained will be compared to those collected by the authors of the original program who administered the same intervention to a German-speaking population, however with support by e-mail. Participation is open to anyone aged 20 or over who has lost their partner through bereavement, divorce or separation at least 6 months ago, and who has difficulty overcoming this loss. However, it is not possible to participate if the person is on psychotherapeutic therapy, has started or changed psychotropic medication or if the person has any risk of suicide. Alternative possibilities of treatment will be proposed. The self-support consists of 10 modules, which contain information about the process of loss, self-reflection tasks, activities, questionnaires and self-observation grids. Participants are free to do the modules as many times as they wish. They will also be asked three times to complete questionnaires taking an average of 40 minutes. This will take place before the start of the program, at the end of the program, and 3 months after the end of the intervention. At the end of the program, participants will be asked for feedback on the program. These data and remarks will allow to rethink and improve the care of people with difficulties overcoming the loss of a loved one. Participants will be recruited by contacting various associations dealing with bereavement and / or separation, as well as by posting advertisements or articles in the media (social or conventional) in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.

Internet-based Intervention for Complicated Grief: A Pilot Study

Start date: August 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A considerable proportion of bereaved individuals experience chronic and disabling grief (so-called complicated or prolonged grief). Complicated grief is associated with severe mental and physical health problems as well as impaired social and occupational functioning. Interventions based on cognitive-behavioral therapy and applied via the internet have shown to be efficacious for this condition, but have not yet been adapted and evaluated in Norway. The aim of the current study is to adapt an internet-based cognitive-behavioral intervention for complicated grief and evaluate its effectiveness as a pilot study.

NCT ID: NCT01556048 Completed - Clinical trials for Major Depressive Disorder

Pilot Study of Behavioral Activation for Prolonged Grief

Start date: February 2009
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The Institute of Medicine identifies Prolonged Grief (PG) as a critical under-addressed public health problem for which are no empirically supported treatments. The purpose of this application is to pilot-test Behavioral Activation (BA) therapy for PG. BA is a well supported, stand alone intervention for depression and recently applied to posttraumatic stress disorder, which reduces rumination and avoidance behaviors that otherwise thwart access to natural rewarding contingencies and resources. The treatment focuses on promoting stable, active routines, self-care behaviors, enhanced self-efficacy, and reengagement with pleasurable activities and significant social resources. Rumination, disengagement, and low self-efficacy are defining features of PG. Further, in response to loss of intimates, the key factors that differentiate resilient people from those that have difficulties adapting is the maintenance or fast resumption of social and occupational functioning. Thus, the main hypothesis of this study is that BA for PG will result in clinically significant reductions in rumination and functional disengagement. This is a preliminary small-scale pilot assessment of potential efficacy and feasibility of completing a large scale study of BA for PG.
