This study is exploring an animated learning resource that could be used online to promote mental health. It is computer based and delivered in a single session, lasting 30 minutes. It teaches young people about thoughts, feelings, personality and the brain, it includes ideas about "mindsets" - or beliefs about the brain - which may be helpful in day-to-day life. The investigators will use social media to recruit 14-18-year-olds to take part in our research. They will be randomly put into one of two groups - either a group who receive the online session first or a group who receive the session later (at the end of the study). The animated learning resource aims to promote and protect mental health. The investigators predict it might have some benefits for emotional wellbeing, though the investigators do not know for certain. Young people who take part might learn something new or find it rewarding to know they have been part of research which could be used to help promote mental health. It is important to know that this is a research study and not a form of treatment for mental health problems.
The goal of this research study is to train psychotherapists to administer individualized evidence-based psychotherapies in a cancer care setting to participants with elevated levels of distress due to their illness and/or treatment. The intervention will mirror clinical care in psycho-oncology in which the therapist, collaboratively with their supervisor, will choose specific components of the following evidence-based treatments to administer based on the clinical presentation of the patient and referring problem. - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) - Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) - Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) - Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy (MCP) - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) - CBT for other cancer-related physical symptoms like pain, fatigue, and nausea. Participation in this research study is expected to last about 26 weeks. It is expected that about 100 people and 15 therapists will take part in this research study.
Mental health is increasingly at the forefront of concerns, especially since the start of COVID-19 pandemic. However, not all individuals under mental subhealth need pharmaceutical treatment. Music Therapy (MT) can make peoples gradually relax via relaxing and soothing music, and regulate individual psychological emotions through the influence of music on individuals' cerebral cortex, hypothalamus and limbic system, further improve the mood of daily tension and anxiety. This study adopted randomized clinical trials design, with two groups of MT group and Waiting group both under mental subhealth. The MT group received music therapy and routine activities, while the Waiting group received music therapy after the therapy of MT group. Data collections were performed by trained, certified, and qualified personnel. The study aims to provide that MT is an effective intervention way to alleviate the mental subhealth state in the future.
The goal of this interventional pilot study is to gain experiences in using the Back 2 School (B2S) program for youth with school attendance problems in Norwegian community school- and health services. The main questions it aims to answer are: • What is the feasibility of the Back 2 School program when implemented in Norwegian community school- and health services? • What are the changes in school attendance rates, measures of psychological difficulties, and school related self-efficacy following the intervention? • How do participants experience the B2S program? 16 youth (6-16 years) with school attendance problems, their caregivers and the school participate in the B2S program provided by an interdisciplinary team during the school term of 2022-2023. Researchers will compare school attendance rates before entrance to the B2S program, at termination of the program and at 3-month follow-up. Also, researchers will compare reports on psychological difficulties, quality of life, and school related-self efficacy at baseline and after the intervention. Researchers investigate participants experiences with the program through qualitative interviews with youths, caregivers, teachers and service providers. The researchers further aim to prepare and establish resources and infrastructure for a large intervention study, and to establish a well-functioning cooperation between researchers, research organizations, and municipalities in different regions.
Social isolation related mental health problems have raised many concerns during the COVID-19 outbreaks. Mental health care for people in quarantined hotels is in urgent need, but concrete program is rarely reported. Morita therapy and acupressure have been identified as effective treatments for regulating mood and sleep. The study aimed to examine whether Morita therapy (MT) combined with Xingnao Kaiqiao self-administered acupressure (XKSA) could improve depressive, anxiety symptoms and sleep quality in isolated people with depressive symptoms.
Anxiety and depression are associated with work disability, lower participation rate in cardiac rehabilitation and unfavourable life style changes following a coronary heart disease (CHD) event. The prevalence of clinically significant symptoms of depression and anxiety in CHD patients has been estimated to 30-50%. Furthermore, depression and anxiety are associated with a significant increased risk of subsequent major adverse cardiovascular events and mortality in CHD patients. Psychological interventions for anxiety and depression in CHD patients have demonstrated small and uncertain effects of symptoms, and no effect on cardiovascular outcomes. Therefore, testing the effectiveness of specific psychological interventions that may affect central mechanisms for cardiovascular outcomes, has been requested. The Attention training (ATT) Study is a randomized controlled trial comparing group-attention training to wait-list control in 64 patients who experience significant anxiety and depression after a CHD event. It will also be explored whether reduction in psychological symptoms is correlated with changes in biological markers with a potential link to cardiovascular outcomes.
This pilot randomised controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of a 12-week music and movement intervention in older adults in care homes compared to a waitlist control group. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do salivary cortisol and DHEAS levels improve after the intervention, compared to the waitlist control group? - Do feelings of anxiety and depression improve after the intervention, compared to the waitlist control group? - Does the quality of life improve after the intervention, compared to the waitlist control group? - Does physical function improve after the intervention, compared to the waitlist control group? Participants will engage in music and movement sessions three times per week for 12 weeks. Researchers will compare the intervention group to the waitlist control group to see if any effects occur.
The goal of this multi-centre, randomised, pilot feasibility study is to assess the feasibility of recruiting intensive care survivors, with symptoms of traumatic stress, to a study evaluating the use of eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR). The main purpose is to determine whether it is feasible and acceptable to patients, clinicians and researchers. In addition, this study aims to identify design criteria that may be of use in a subsequent randomised controlled trial of clinical effectiveness. Participants will: - be recruited at hospital discharge - undergo a psychological assessment at 2-3 months post-hospital discharge - Those exhibiting symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), will be randomised (1:1) to receive either usual care or usual care plus EMDR - Participants who do not exhibit PTSD symptoms at the 2-3 month assessment will enter a light-touch observation arm. - All participants will repeat the psychological assessment 12-months after hospital discharge. Feasibility parameters; recruitment, adherence, retention and safety data. Primary clinical outcomes; change in PTSD symptoms between 2-3 months and 12-months. The investigators will undertake a qualitative process evaluation using clinical ethnography and reported according to the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability.
The goal of this clinical trial is to validate the use of digital Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (Digi-ACT) in Hong Kong curative cancer patients with depressive and anxiety symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can Digi-ACT reduce depressive or anxiety symptoms? - Can Digi-ACT improved health-related quality of life? - Is Digi-ACT an acceptable and feasible intervention for users? - What are the factors that influence the success of Digi-ACT? - Can the video journals used in Digi-ACT predict depressive symptoms? Intervention group participants will install the Digi-ACT mobile application and undergo a 3-4 week long intervention. They will have to fill out questionnaires at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and at three month follow up to measure depression and anxiety symptoms, health-related quality of life, acceptability of the intervention, and other process outcomes related to the intervention itself. Researchers will compare the outcomes with a group of participants that undergo a 3-4 week long period where they navigate a similar mobile platform that gives bi-daily psychoeducational videos that also fill out the same clinical questionnaires at baseline, post-intervention, and at three month follow up.
