Starting from December 2019, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS-COV-2) disease spread rapidly from China into the world, with about two Mio cases confirmed around the world. In Switzerland, more than 26'000 cases have been confirmed so far, and health authorities declared in March the needs for social isolation and have banned visits to hospitalized patients and to nursing home residents. Loneliness and isolation is a significant concern for the elderly patients as well as for their families that may significantly affect physical and mental health in both. SILVER aims to evaluate the role of programmed video calls with families: - on mood, anxiety, fear of death and pain perception in patients hospitalized or in nursing homes during the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. - in relieving the familiar caregiver anxiety and fear of death of others - in relieving the professional caregiver anxiety. SILVER is an international study involving both acute, rehabilitation geriatric units and nursing homes; we will enroll all the patients present in the participating centers. Patients will be allowed to chose between video and phone calls, the following dimensions will be evaluated: - Delirium risk: using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) - Mood: using the 5-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) - Anxiety: using the Clinical Anxiety Scale (GAS). - Fear of death (self and others): using the Collett-Lester scale. In parallel, health professionals and family caregivers will be evaluated for anxiety at baseline and every week after intervention set-up by the Clinical Anxiety Scale (CAS). Family caregivers will also be evaluated with the fear of death scale (sub-scale fear of death of others). Finally, to evaluate the appreciation for video call communication in patients and caregivers we will use a Likert scale.
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a web-based self-help intervention promoting mental health in adolescents. We will examine whether this intervention improves positive affect, reduces stress and alleviates negative affect and depressive symptoms in adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. We will also investigate the rates of adherence among the adolescents who use this web-based intervention and the acceptability of the intervention with adolescents.
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a web-based self-help intervention in adolescents with acute or remitted major depressive disorder.

The researchers propose a two-arm pilot study of telephone and video delivered Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT-T and MBCT-V) in people with migraine and depressive symptoms.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, fixed-dose study in patients with a primary diagnosis of MDD according to criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) who have an inadequate response to ongoing ADT.
A mixed methods randomised controlled pilot trial, conducted in miniature of future definitive trial, in which the investigators will test optimised intervention and study processes. The investigators will individually randomise stroke survivor participants in a 1:1 allocation to: HEADS: UP or Control.
The interest of pulmonary rehabilitation for patients who underwent lung resection for cancer remains controversial. The investigators studied the effects of the RR and its impact on quality of life and level of anxiety and depression in patients. In 2011 and 2012 , an RR was proposed to the patients referred to our center after lung resection for cancer. Patients were assessed at entry and departure by 6minutes walk test , a visual analog pain scale , a quality of life questionnaire ( EORTC QLQ C30 ) and an anxiety questionnaire and Depression (HAD) . These same questionnaires were mailed 6 months after the end of the pulmonary rehabilitation .
The purpose of the present randomized controlled study is to investigate if there is a difference in depression symptoms at 4-weeks among adolescents ages 16-17 years assigned to W-GenZD, a digital therapeutic, as compared to a psychoeducational control group.
Rationale: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the mental health of healthcare workers (HCWs). This study combines two low-intensity psychological interventions developed by the World Health Organization (Doing What Matters [DWM] and Problem Management Plus [PM+]) into a stepped-care program for HCWs. Objective: The main objective is to evaluate the implementation and (cost-)effectiveness of the culturally and contextually adapted DWM/PM+ stepped-care programs amongst health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of mental distress, resilience, wellbeing, health inequalities, and costs to health systems. Study design: Phase 2 (intervention study): pragmatic implementation trial with a single-blinded, randomized, parallel-group design. Phase 3: qualitative process evaluation consisting of individual interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs). Study population: Study phase 2: Health care workers with self-reported elevated psychological distress. Study phase 3: study participants with different trajectories through the trial (completers, non-completers, drop-outs, etc.), family members/close persons of participants, professionals, and facilitators of the DWM and PM+ intervention. Intervention- study phase 2: All participants (in both the treatment and the comparison group) will receive Psychological First Aid (PFA) and care as usual (CAU). In addition to PFA and CAU, the treatment group will receive the stepped-care intervention (DWM with or without PM+) in addition to CAU. The stepped-care intervention consists of DWM (step 1) and conditionally PM+ (step 2) if participants still meet criteria for psychological distress (Kessler Psychological Distress scale (K10) >15.9) 1 month after having received DWM. Main study parameters/endpoints: Phase 2: Screening for in- and exclusion criteria will be interviewer-administered, in-person or through (video) calls. Online assessments will take place at baseline, at 2 weeks after having received DWM, at 1 week and at 2 months after having received PM+. The main study parameter will be the decrease in symptoms of anxiety and depression from baseline to two-month follow-up, measured through the sum score of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), i.e. the PHQ-Anxiety and Depression Score (PHQ-ADS). Phase 3: Through FGDs and interviews at the end of the study, the feasibility of scaling-up the implementation on the stepped-care DWM/PM+ intervention.
