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.
Public Health Nurses received training to deliver a day-long Cognitive Behavioural Therapy-based workshop for treating postpartum depression. Participants in the study are randomly assigned to the treatment group (1-day CBT workshop) or control group (usual postnatal care). Data will be collected from all participants at baseline, 3 and 6 months. The study will aim to assess the feasibility of our methods and estimate the treatment effect of the primary outcome in preparation for a larger RCT. Objectives include: - Recruit and randomize 96 participants within 5 months - Questionnaire completion - 75% of participants complete all three questionnaires and structured interviews - Retention - 75% of participants remain in study until completion - 75% of participants in treatment group complete the intervention - Estimate treatment effect and variance

Depression is one of the most common mood disorders in old age, and yet it is frequently under-detected and under-treated. Adopting a train-the-trainer approach, this project intends to utilize the dance movement therapy (DMT), as intervention, to support elderly people with depressive symptoms.
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.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of nutraceutical supplement on depressed mood and anhedonia in volunteers after 8 weeks of consumption.
In recent years, radiofrequency ablation has gradually become a first-line treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation. Radiofrequency ablation is an invasive procedure that lasts several hours, patients can experience varying degrees of discomfort and pain despite the use of analgesics. Mindfulness meditation requires the trainer to focus on breathing during the training process, while being non-critical and consciously observing various sensations on the body. It has a good effect in reducing pain, fatigue, negative emotions and strengthening coping with stressful events. With the rapid development of science and technology, meditation is no longer confined to traditional forms. The meditation method with the help of mobile communication technology and brain-computer interface technology can improve efficiency and convenience, and is more personalized. It has been recognized in many studies. The brain-computer interface is to establish a channel between the human brain and the computer that does not rely on conventional brain information output. Using techniques such as electroencephalogram, the spontaneous biopotential of the brain is amplified and recorded from the scalp. This study aims to explore the impact of mindfulness meditation with devices based on brain-computer interface technology on patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation. In order to improve the negative experience of patients during ablation, ensure the safety of patients during ablation, promote postoperative recovery, and increase satisfaction. The pain intensity, fatigue level, anxiety and depression of the meditation group and the control group were compared by the scale. Record relevant vital signs and adverse events. The investigators hypothesized that the pain, fatigue, anxiety and depression of the meditation group would be lower than those of the control group.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of the website "ich bin alles" (https://www.ich-bin-alles.de/) to improve depression literacy (knowledge about depression, which aid the recognition, treatment or prevention of depression) in healthy adolescents. The investigators will examine whether the website improves depression literacy in healthy adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. The investigators will also assess the acceptability of the website among adolescents.
