Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to test whether an animal-assisted interaction (AAI) intervention is better than conversation with another person or treatment as usual for improving mood, anxiety, loneliness, quality of life, and indicators of health care services such as number of hospitalizations, length of hospital stay, and cost of services. Participants will be patients admitted for an inpatient stay at Virginia Commonwealth University Health who meet the study entry requirements.
"A Trauma-Informed Intervention for Positive Youth Development and Teacher Wellness in Rural Montana" is intended to help mitigate stressors that may contribute to poor behavioral and mental health in rural Montana teachers. The immediate goals of this study is to promote student health by supporting teacher wellbeing through a remotely-delivered trauma-informed yoga intervention.
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by the inability of the heart to pump an adequate amount of blood. Heart failure affects patients' ability to carry out even simple activities of daily living and therefore has a negative psychological impact. Many studies reported that anxiety and depression are prevalent among HF patients and it is being associated with high morbidity, mortality and costs. Community HF patients who are diagnosed with depression are usually referred for Improving Access for Psychological Therapies (IAPT). The IAPT services have long waiting lists and many patients in the community still do not have access to IAPT. IAPT (2017) found web-based interventions for psychological therapies for emotional disorders such as depression and anxiety to be as effective as the traditional interventions and yielded positive mental health outcomes. In this current study, the feasibility and acceptability of the proposed COMPASS web-based intervention will be examined. COMPASS is a web-based therapy (online CBT program) designed for the management of depression and anxiety for patients with long term conditions such as heart failure. This study will be conducted into three parts and mainly include one-to-one interviews. First, the researcher will use an approach called "think aloud" which is a specific type of interview that allows us to observe the participant while using the proposed COMPASS online using Microsoft Teams. The participant will be asked to log into the COMPASS website and talk to the researcher continuously as possible about what they are thinking or what comes into their mind as they are using the COMPASS website. Following this interview, the researcher will ask the participant to use COMPASS from any internet-connected device for four weeks with weekly follow-up telephone calls. One month after the completion of COMPASS, the researcher will interview the participants.
This is an outpatient, 2-arm, Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of REL-1017 once daily (QD) as a monotherapy for Major Depressive Disorder.
Mood Lifters is a revolutionary mental wellness program that teaches scientifically validated strategies in a supportive group setting. This study will test two new versions of the program designed specifically for graduate students and young professionals. Participants will need to attend 12 hour long virtual weekly meetings on Zoom that focus on helpful mental health strategies and skills. Participants will be encourage to practice what the participants learn at home in order to improve their mood or mental wellness. Additionally, participants will complete a series of measures (approx. 1-1.5 hours) prior to, at the end of the program, 1 month after the program and 6 months after the program.
A study will be conducted with a quantitative approach with correlational scope, observational analytical study, prospective cross-sectional. The objective is to compare the levels of anxious symptomatology, depressive symptomatology and substance use in university students who were exposed to SARS-CoV-2 with those who were not.
Stress, anxiety, distress and depression are exceptionally high among healthcare providers at the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic. Knowledge of factors underlying distress and resilience and evidence based interventions to impact the mental wellbeing of frontline healthcare providers is limited. This study will evaluate a novel mobile platform to gather the "distress experience" of healthcare workers at Unity Health Toronto in real time during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, use automated personalized mobile interventions (e.g. routine, sleep, exercise) to nudge active/passive parameters to manage distress.
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a transdiagnostic intervention whose aim is to reduce experiential avoidance and promote psychological flexibility, which involves engaging in values-based behaviour while accepting painful internal experiences with openness and awareness. A growing body of research supports the efficacy of brief ACT for a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and stress. Given that ACT is a transdiagnostic intervention that targets the core processes related to human suffering, this treatment may be particularly useful for implementation in primary care with diverse groups of individuals and presentations. The objective of this study is to develop and pilot test a brief, virtual, group-based ACT intervention for depression and anxiety delivered in primary care settings to determine if a future randomized controlled trial of this group treatment is both warranted and feasible. The investigators will examine (1) the feasibility and acceptability of the study procedures, (2) clinician adherence to the treatment protocol, and (3) a preliminary analysis of the treatment effectiveness. A total of 3 groups (N = 30-45) will be conducted via three primary care clinics in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The group treatment will be delivered over four 90-minute sessions. Participants will complete assessment measures at pretreatment, post-treatment, and at two follow-up time points (1-month post-treatment and 3-6-months post-treatment). All assessments and treatment sessions will be conducted virtually via videoconferencing platform.
participants will be receiving OMT 1x/week for 8 weeks. Each appointment with be a duration of 30 minutes. Patients will be required to fill out PHQ-9 and SSS-8 questionnaires before beginning the study and following the conclusion of the study.
