Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to make a statement concerning the identification of depressive symptoms at the time of the realization of the G8 score in patients over 75 with cancer and followed in oncology. The main question it aims to answer are: - Compare the medical hetero-evaluation of depressive symptoms via the G8 "neuro-psychiatric disorders" item score with a self-evaluation via the GDS-15 score - Evaluate the number of patients over 75 treated with antidepressants - Evaluate the proportion of patients with depressive symptoms according to the predisposing factors - Compare the number of patients followed in oncogeriatrics over the period from 01/01/2022 to 02/28/2022 and the period from 01/01/2023 to 02/28/2023 Participants will complete a self-questionnaire (GDS-15 score) as well as a socio-demographic sheet.
Psychological status of couples attending to IVF programmes is important due to possible effect on final result. Observers aim to investigate the depression, anxiety and stress scores of couples before and after the procedure.
The investigators are conducting a randomised-controlled trial comparing coherent breathing at ~5.5 breath cycles per minute-bcpm (with equal inhalation/exhalation durations of ~5.5secs each) to a well-designed placebo (paced breathing at 12bcpm with equal inhalation/exhalation durations of 2.5secs each). The metric of 12bcpm is in line with guidance from the British Journal of Nursing, Royal College of Physicians, and Johns Hopkins University which state that the average, healthy bcpm should range from: 12-20bcpm, 12-18bcpm, and 12-16bcpm, respectively, hence the investigators chose the minimum/lower bound for the active placebo control group. The main questions that our study attempts to address are: Does coherent breathing (and placebo coherent breathing) lead to improved mental health and wellbeing in a general population adult sample? The study will be conducted entirely online through the research platform Prolific, so participant data will be anonymous. The investigators will collect self-reports of mental health and wellbeing before and after the four-week breathwork period, along with a follow-up one-month later. Pre-post intervention and follow-up questionnaires will be completed online via the survey platform Qualtrics which will be linked to Prolific. Participants will also be asked how many times they practiced out of the assigned 28 days, to gauge self-reported adherence to the protocol. The investigators can then observe whether self-reported adherence correlates with changes in mental health and wellbeing, if any. Data on the self-reported credibility/expectancy of the breathwork randomly allocated to participants will also be collected, along with open-ended responses on participants' overall experience of the protocol/study.
This study aims to explore the efficacy of cognitive processing therapy (CPT) in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and difficulties with emotion regulation in Syrian females who have suffered intimate partner violence (IPV). Clinicians will conduct interviews with women and request that they complete the CAPS, Beck Depression Inventory II, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and DERS during pretreatment, posttreatment, and at the 12-month follow-up
The purpose of this study is to confirm binding of MIJ821 to the NR2B-containing NMDA receptors in the human brain and assess the PC-RO relationship over time using positron emission tomography (PET).
Background Many nurses must shoulder heavy workloads and often develop depressive emotions due to work stress. Previous studies pointed out that binaural beat technology (BBT) and rhythmical photic stimulation can effectively improve negative emotions but there are very few related empirical studies. Objectives This study examined the effectiveness of BBT combined with rhythmical photic stimulation in improving depressive symptoms in nurses. Methods This is a randomized controlled trial and nurses in central Taiwan were recruited as participants. These participants were randomized into three groups: BBT combined with rhythmical photic stimulation group, BBT group, and relaxing music group. The intervention period was 2 weeks, with 30 minutes per session. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), vitality and mental health scale (VT&MH from SF-36), and heart rate variability (HRV) were used as parameters for pre- and posttest evaluation in this study. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to test if there are significant differences in various parameters in the three groups before and after intervention. The Krusal-Wallis test was used to test for significant differences in parameter changes between the three groups.
HIV/AIDS patients are at risk for depression, a multifactorial disorder with signs and symptoms that affect the cognitive, affective, behavioral, and somatic areas. This study used Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials (RCT). Main hypothesis: A combination of spiritual awareness-based cognitive therapy (MSBCT) plus hypnotic interventions can reduce depression degree scores by reducing cortisol levels and increasing serotonin levels in HIV patients with depression. Small hypothesis 1. There was a decrease in cortisol levels after being given the MSBCT plus hypnosis combination intervention in HIV patients with depression; 2. There was an increase in serotonin levels after being given the MSBCT plus hypnosis combination intervention in HIV patients with depression; 3. There was a decrease in depression degree scores after being given the MSBCT plus hypnosis combination intervention in HIV patients with depression; 4. There was a higher reduction in cortisol levels in the intervention group compared to the control group in HIV patients with depression; 5. There was a higher increase in serotonin levels in the intervention group compared to the control group in HIV patients with depression; 6. There was a higher reduction in scores degree of depression in the intervention group compared to the control group in HIV patients with depression; 7. Decreased cortisol levels and increased serotonin levels affect depression degree scores in HIV patients with depression; 8. MSBCT plus hypnosis combination intervention is a factor that can affect depression degree scores reduction in HIV patients with depression;
Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of half swaddle and kangaroo care practices initiated in the early period in preterm infants on breastfeeding, mother-infant attachment, maternal sleep quality and postpartum depression. Design: The prospective, randomized controlled study
Bibliotherapy has been mainly focused on the social and emotional problems of children and young people, and studies with the elderly are very few. Based on the suggestion of meeting the right book with the right individual, which is the basis of bibliotherapy, it is predicted that the bibliotherapy method can be useful in reducing depression and increasing hope in the elderly, with the selection of books that are suitable for the cognitive levels of the elderly.
The ongoing warfare and economic instability in the Middle East and in North Africa causes many people to leave their home countries. Arrived in a host countries, in this example, in Switzerland, they face a lot of structural and psychosocial hurdles. Particularly in the first years, building up a certain quality of life is complicated and challenging. To support this process, the Swiss Red Cross and the University of Bern have developed the Sui app. It contains structural and social information as well as low-intensity psychological tools to provide support to the everyday life of Arabic-speaking people in Switzerland.
