Filter by:The study tries to identify whether specifically framed expectations, induced with an active placebo nasal-spray, have effects on affective regulation processes and rumination.
Mobile health (mHealth) interventions such as interactive short message service (SMS) text messaging with healthcare workers (HCWs) have been proposed as efficient, accessible additions to traditional health care in resource-limited settings. Realizing the full public health potential of mHealth for maternal health requires use of new technological tools that dynamically adapt to user needs. This study will test use of a natural language processing computer algorithm on incoming SMS messages with pregnant people and new mothers in Kenya to see if it can help to identify urgent messages.
This pilot study is a precursor to a subsequent clinical trial that will test the impact of a set of automated motivational messages on patient engagement with a digital mental health intervention. The pilot study aims to systematically employ patient feedback to develop the automated motivational messages that will be used in the subsequent clinical trial.
Emergency responders protect the public despite occupational hazards that threaten their mental health. The Pitt Center for Emergency Responder Wellness will be a clinical innovation hub that: 1) delivers accessible interventions for promoting mental health and overall wellbeing; 2) trains the next generation of students to provide mental health care for emergency responders; and 3) informs scientific understanding of post-trauma recovery processes. Goals for the seed phase are to establish our team and collect pilot data to demonstrate feasibility and initial clinical impact.
The purpose of the Health and Energy through Active Living Every Day (HEALED) intervention, is to examine the effect of a web-based intervention on changes in device-measured physical activity (light and moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic) and sedentary behavior. The purpose of this study is intended for survivors of a cancer with a 5-year survival (at Stage I, II, and III) of at least 45% that has a strong level of evidence for association with physical inactivity according to the 2018 PA Guidelines Advisory Committee Report (breast, colon, endometrium, kidney, bladder, multiple myeloma). In line with social cognitive theory behavior change techniques, participants will be provided information and skills necessary to be more physically active and less sedentary after a cancer diagnosis. New materials will be disseminated biweekly through a website open only to participants, and include at-home exercise demonstration videos, research news, discussion boards, success stories, infographics for exercise recommendations, etc.
Objective: To determine the effect of online postpartum follow-up on depression and postpartum adaptation. Design: A parallel-randomized-controlled study Setting: During 2021 in Turkey Participants: 52 women in the postpartum period Measurements: Data were collected through the Personal Information Form, the Follow-up Form, the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS), and the Postpartum Self-Assessment Scale (PSAS). The women in the experimental group were administered three follow-ups (education/consultancy) in line with the timing and content in the T.R. Ministry of Health Postpartum Care Management Guide (2014). The follow-ups were performed using the Zoom® program, which enabled video talk. The women in the control group received the routine follow-up and care provided by the hospital.
The goal of this study is to examine the effect of chronic and acute hyperglycemia in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) on brain glutamate levels using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and associations of brain glutamate with symptoms of depression.
This study is designed to investigate effects of a single dose of amisulpride on functional brain changes during reward- and motivation-related processing and at rest in healthy volunteers (HV) and in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
To evaluate the feasibility of a pragmatic, large scale, comparative effectiveness, randomized evaluation of patient experience of intravenous propofol versus inhaled volatile anesthesia.
The primary aim in this pilot project is to test the feasibility, acceptability and impact (decreased depressive symptoms) of a brief behavioral treatment for depression (Engage) combined with video social support (PRISM 2.0) among socially isolated/lonely case management clients who endorse depressive symptoms. Eligible participants will be offered the combination of Engage and Prism 2.0, called Engage-Prism. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention (Engage Therapy With Video Support) will be accepted by participants, improve depressive symptom, and be feasible to complete.
