Filter by:The present study seeks to follow up the cohort of adults representative of Chile's urban population whose levels of chronic pain were evaluated in March 2023 (baseline) as part of the Mental Health Thermometer (MHT) study. The study consists of a 12 month follow-up telephone interview to assess parameters of chronic pain (CP) and subtypes, mental and physical health, lifestyle and adversity and work characteristics. The study objectives are as follows: 1. Estimate the prevalence of CP and subtypes in the general population 2. Explore the association between mental health indicators, perceived work stress and presence of CP in the population. 3. Investigate the impact of CP (functional, occupational and social) among the subset of participants reporting CP 4. Describe the use of management strategies in those who suffer from CP.
The aim of this single arm feasibility trial is to examine an internet delivered, self-help program for depression and anxiety, based on psychodynamic therapy. The study will evaluate the psychodynamic program with therapist support. The participants will be university students.
For this project the broad research objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of an enhanced digital wellbeing program in improving well-being, depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, and job satisfaction of physicians. The intent of the investigators is that this will enable a proactive culture of well-being and mental health support for the broader healthcare workforce during the multiple phases of the pandemic. The investigator's approach evaluates existing digital models which can be executed in a timely fashion and rapidly scaled for use across other health systems. Aim 1: Conduct interviews of URM and women physicians to identify barriers and facilitators to accessing and receiving digital well-being, mental health, and culturally sensitive support resources. Aim 2: Through a randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigate the immediate and long-term effect of a comprehensive well-being focused intervention (push text messaging, resource support, semi-facilitated peer groups hosted by Cobalt) vs. usual care on well-being, depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, and job satisfaction of physicians practicing in the era of COVID.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is often accompanied by a variety of other symptoms, such as bipolar disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), etc. The behavioral and social complications often marginalize the population, impact on life satisfaction, undermined societal values that impact on economic and financial fairness, and so forth. Furthermore, persons with ASD are neurodiverse from standardized pharmacological and clinical cares, and are interpreted disadvantaged in the context of neurotypical treatments. The research protocol aims to differentiate the neuropharmacological implications of ASD from its behavioral and social implications. Such a differentiation is beneficial to the quality of care for neurodiverse population, both in terms of precision treatment in medical settings, and in terms of psychotherapeutic treatment efficacy in the interpretation of behavioral and social traits. The study protocol continues from the adverse event of the participant in NCT05711810 trial, after the positive immunological results in the NCT05839236 trial. The intervention medicine continues from Sertraline adjusted on the choice of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) in the previous two trials for complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) of the participant, and its combined used with Duloxetine in the choice of Selective Norephedrine Reuptake Inhibitor (SNRI) for norephedrine regulations. The hypothesized target is on the discrete psychiatric intervention centered approach to ASD treatment care. In the PRC where the study is being carried out, amphetamine class medicines are strictly prohibited and defined as illegal substances, regardless of their only proven effect for ASD patient care. Contributed by the sociostructural elements and necessities, black market amphetamine and ketamine have not only emerged in the regime for decades, but also have become a lucrative business. Their recreational uses are also sometimes accompanied by real necessities and needs; black markets cater to the needs but guidance on the usages is based on word-of-mouth stories without professional medical assistances. There is one case the Principal Investigator (PI) collected, that one person, possibly under depression contributed by PTSD, took relatively high dosage of amphetamine and went into a state of psychosis with overwhelming persecution mania. The study protocol, Psychiatric Orders in Psychoanalytic Treatment of ASD, is therefore designed for an evidence-based approach in treating complex psychiatric disorders with psychoanalytic guidance.
Observational studies and a limited numbers of RCTs have observed that habitual Mediterranean-style dietary pattern (MDP) consumption is associated with improved mental health and cognition. Yet, its efficacy in a short-term has not been studied in well-controlled intervention settings. MediMood is a cross-over RCT aiming to test whether a MDP can affect mood and anxiety following a meal (postprandial) and over 5-days in adults over 18 years with mild to moderate mental health problems relative to a Western diet (WD).
Internet-based behavioral therapy applications made during the quarantine and isolation period during the pandemic process, and the application of laughter therapy, which is a group-oriented technique that increases the feeling of togetherness and happiness, can be used as an online method to reach large masses. However, since there are a limited number of studies in the literature on online laughter therapy in patients and not all sessions are online in the study, it was thought that more and methodological studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness of the therapy on the applicability of the online platform. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the blood cortisol levels, depression, anxiety, stress levels and quality of life of laughter therapy in hemodialysis patients.
Tinnitus can be very distressing for some individuals who experience it. The most studied intervention that works well for tinnitus distress is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). There is enough evidence to claim that internet-delivered guided CBT for tinnitus is as effective as CBT delivered face-to-face. The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of an internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for tinnitus and an internet-delivered mindfulness-based tinnitus stress reduction intervention by comparing them one against each other and a waiting list control group in the adult population experiencing tinnitus. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Feasibility of delivering interventions for tinnitus distress over the internet. - Is any of the two interventions more effective in reducing tinnitus-related stress than the waiting list control? - Is the effectiveness of mindfulness intervention non-inferior to CBT intervention for tinnitus? - Is participant engagement and dropout different in mindfulness and CBT interventions? Participants will be randomly assigned to a CBT, Mindfulness, or control group and will be asked to engage with the materials prescribed to that group for eight weeks.
Background: Family members of critically ill patients face considerable uncertainty and distress during their close other's intensive care unit (ICU) stay, with about 20-60% of family members experiencing post-traumatic distress post-ICU. Guidelines recommend structured family inclusion, communication, and support, but the existing evidence base around protocolized family support interventions is modest and requires substantiation. Methods: To test the clinical effectiveness and explore the implementation of a multicomponent, nurse-led family support intervention in ICUs, the investigators will undertake a parallel, cluster-randomized, controlled, multicenter superiority hybrid-type 1 trial. The trial will include eight clusters (ICUs) per study arm, with a projected total sample size of 896 family members of adult, critically ill patients treated in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. The trial targets family members of critically ill patients with an expected ICU stay of 48 hours or longer. Families in the control arm will receive usual care. Families in the intervention arm, in addition to usual care, will receive a family support intervention consisting of specialist nurse support along the patient pathway at defined time-points, including follow-up care, and nurse-coordinated liaison and structured, interprofessional communication by the ICU team. The primary study endpoint is quality of family care, operationalized as family members' satisfaction with ICU care at discharge. Secondary endpoints include quality of communication and nurse support, family management of critical illness (functioning, resilience), and family members' mental health (well-being, psychological distress) measured at admission, discharge, and after three, six, and twelve months. Data of all participants, regardless of protocol adherence, will be analyzed using linear mixed-effects models, with the individual participant as the unit of inference. Discussion: The FICUS trial will establish the effectiveness of the family support intervention and generate knowledge of its implementability. Both types of evidence are necessary to determine whether the intervention works as intended in clinical practice and whether an effective intervention could be scaled-up to other ICUs. The study findings will make a significant contribution to the current body of knowledge on effective ICU care that promotes family participation and well-being.
