Filter by:Perioperative depression and/or anxiety play a critical role in patient presentation, satisfaction and outcomes. The aim of this study is to assess the level of perioperative depression and/or anxiety in patients with arthroscopic knee surgery and to evaluate their relationship with anesthesia approach (general anesthesia or non general anesthesia). The perioperative characteristic of depression or anxiety is assessed by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaires and the level of salivary cortisol, salivary α-amylase (sAA) and blood glucose.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence of maternal depression and anxiety has increased and research suggests that the cognitive development of children born during the pandemic has been impacted. There are significant concerns that a cohort of children may be at-risk for mental illness and impaired self-regulation due to elevated exposure to perinatal maternal mental illness. Intervention is crucial as the intergenerational effects of maternal mental illness are most pronounced when mental health concerns persist. There is currently an urgent need for accessible eHealth interventions for mothers of young children as the pandemic has contributed to an increased prevalence of mental health concerns and to additional barriers to services. The Building Emotion Awareness and Mental Health (BEAM) app-based program was developed to help address maternal mental health concerns and parenting stress. A two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) with repeated measures will be used to evaluate the efficacy of the BEAM intervention compared to treatment as usual (TAU) among a sample of 140 mothers who self-report moderate-to-severe symptoms of depression and/or anxiety and have a child 18 to 36 months-old.
This study is designed to test the effectiveness of mindfulness meditation intervention classes on psychosocial health outcomes. Additionally, the investigators would like to examine changes in the brain that might occur following the mindfulness meditation intervention. The investigators are particularly interested in changes in brain activity that are correlated with changes in inflammation-related markers in the blood. The nervous system and immune system are closely connected, and both are influenced by mindfulness. However, it is unclear whether changes in neural activity are linked with changes in inflammation. A compelling feature of mindfulness interventions is their potential for reducing inflammatory activity; however, this has not been examined in college students. In addition to measuring psychosocial outcomes, the investigators will employ sophisticated, vertically-integrated measures of inflammatory biology that allow the study team to probe intervention effects on circulating markers of inflammation. Thus, the investigators intend to recruit 60 undergraduate students and will randomize them into either a 6-week standardized mindfulness intervention or to a wait-list control group. Participants will complete brain scans, provide blood samples for immune analysis, and complete questionnaires at pre- and post-intervention assessments
This is a randomized-controlled interventional treatment study with three arms of comparable demographics to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OVR Health's VR experience to improve control over the focus of attention and reduce worry and rumination in individuals who have reported problems with these issues.
This study is part of a Wellcome Trust-funded research program in India called PRIDE (PRemIum for aDolEscents, 2016-2022) led by Principal Investigator Prof. Vikram Patel (Harvard Medical School). The goal of PRIDE is to establish a suite of scalable psychosocial interventions for common adolescent mental health problems in India. Following on from earlier studies to develop and evaluate the various PRIDE interventions in school settings, the current study aims to generate evidence on methods to support implementation. We will undertake a pre-and-post study design with a nested randomized controlled trial with the specific aims to: 1. Evaluate the effects of digital training on non-specialists' competency to deliver an evidence-based problem-solving intervention for common adolescent mental health problems 2. Evaluate the incremental effect of digital training with coaching (DT-C) in comparison with self-guided digital training (DT) on non-specialists' competency to deliver an evidence-based problem-solving intervention for common adolescent mental health problems 3. Evaluate the processes affecting the implementation of training interventions in both arms
Among the stress factors of nursing students are traumatic experiences such as death and encountering a dying patient from the first moments of their education years, fear of making mistakes in the clinic, patient care, not getting enough support from the instructor or clinic staff, and communication problems. Exposure to long-term and uncontrollable stress negatively affects students' professional identity development and health. Students who cannot cope with their stress feel stress at a higher level and as a result they may experience anxiety and depression.It is important for nurse candidates to graduate by being supported in all aspects, both in terms of individual and professional development. For this reason, nursing educators should use effective and innovative interventions to help students recognize the stress they experience and help them reduce stress. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy Program (MBCT) is one of these programs. Although studies with MBCT are found in the literature, our country In the literature, no randomized controlled studies were found with nursing students. In line with this information, it was thought that mindfulness-based studies were needed. This study was planned to determine the effect of MBCT program on depression, anxiety, stress and cognitive flexibility of nursing students.
The investigators explore the effectiveness of grounding as a non-pharmacological therapy for treating sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression in patients with mild AD.
The study aims to evaluate whether use of a mobile mental health app improves outcomes of depression and anxiety for students.
The main objective is to study the effects of the intake of a nutraceutical on health indicators, focused on sleep and stress, as well as cardiovascular (blood pressure...), circulating (cortisol) and body composition parameters in a Spanish adult population.
"A Trauma-Informed Intervention for Positive Youth Development and Teacher Wellness in Rural Montana" is intended to help mitigate stressors that may contribute to poor behavioral and mental health in rural Montana teachers. The immediate goals of this study is to promote student health by supporting teacher wellbeing through a remotely-delivered trauma-informed yoga intervention.
