Filter by:Chronic kidney failure (CRF) is an important health problem in the world and in our country. The use of hemodialysis as a treatment method has prolonged the life span of individuals with CRF; challenging and long treatment processes make the individual at risk for mental illnesses. It is an inevitable need to carry out psychosocial interventions to protect and improve the mental health of individuals, to ensure their adaptation to treatment processes, and to support them in coping with the difficulties they encounter. It is predicted that hope-focused motivational interviewing, which is a hope-enhancing intervention based on Snyder's Hope Theory, will be effective for individuals with low hope levels. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the protocol suitability of the research. This study is a single blind, randomized controlled trial. The universe of the research will consist of 44 individuals coming for treatment in the Hemodialysis Unit. The study will be carried out in the Hemodialysis Clinic between September 2021 and December 2022. Within the scope of the protocol, a preliminary application was made with two individuals. Research data will be obtained by using sociodemographic data form, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Continuous Hope Scale. In the study, it was planned to apply hope-focused motivational interviews to the experimental group as one-hour sessions per week with face-to-face interviews for 8 weeks, while no intervention was made to the control group. Each session has goals and assignments for goals. Within the scope of the study, a hope tree will be created for everyone together with the patients to be used in the evaluation process of the interview sessions. Through the hope tree, it is aimed for the individual to set goals and discover the obstacles and solutions in reaching these goals. At the end of 8 weeks, the final test will be applied to the experimental and control groups. Following the post-test application, follow-up is planned at the end of the first month. The pre-application of the eight-week application protocol created for the purpose was made with two individuals. As a result of the preliminary application, it was observed that the stress, anxiety and depression levels of the individuals decreased and their hope levels increased. As a result of the preliminary application, it was concluded that the steps of the prepared application protocol were suitable for the study in line with the purpose determined with this patient group, and the protocol was transferred to the application phase as it was. It is thought that the results obtained from the research will contribute to the literature.
With the COVID-19 pandemic completely altering the landscape of higher education, students have been experiencing more stress than ever. With Harvard University's plan for students to return to campus for the 2021-2022 academic year, offering an online mental health program such as StriveWeekly could provide students with stress management support as they transition back after 1.5 years of remote learning. This study will use a randomized controlled trial design to test the effectiveness of a waitlist versus StriveWeekly. This study will allow us to test if a program that has previously demonstrated effectiveness with university students in reducing anxiety and depression symptoms will still be effective after the unprecedented amount of stressors during a global pandemic. Primary aim: We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of StriveWeekly in preventing or reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. The use of a waitlist condition will allow us to experimentally assess if the online intervention is responsible for decreasing / preventing worsened anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms over time. Given the previously established effectiveness of StriveWeekly as an indicated prevention program, we expect students in the intervention condition to experience significantly better symptoms compared to the waitlist from baseline to posttest. Alternatively, if the transition back from remote learning and/or the broad pandemic context interferes with the acceptability or effectiveness of StriveWeekly, then we might expect to see little to no significant differences between the online intervention condition and waitlist condition from baseline to posttest. Secondary aims include: (a) testing moderators of intervention effectiveness and (b) evaluating the intervention in terms of acceptability (e.g., feedback on program name; demographically representativeness of student user sample; satisfactory adherence and satisfaction rates). Exploratory moderation analyses across groups will help determine whether or not the intervention condition produces unique or additive effects for students with certain characteristics over and above changes demonstrated by similar students in the waitlist condition. Acceptability analyses will allow for more nuanced evaluation of StriveWeekly's effectiveness as a program, beyond its ability to facilitate symptom reduction.
Introducing restrictions on human contact has been effective in preventing the uncontrolled spread of COVID-19, however, it appears to have negatively impacted mental health. Psychological problems in different age groups occur with different intensity and duration of the pandemic. This study was aimed to assess the impact of introducing distance learning (e-Learning) on the stress levels and mental well-being among Polish, Slovak and Lithuanian Students.
The purpose of this study is to test patient feasibility and acceptability of virtual reality biofeedback program in postpartum women for anxiety and depression outcomes.
A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of supplementation with Bifidobacterium longum 1714® strain on Beck's Depression Inventory-II Score in adults who experience low mood.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of yoga on postpartum depression. Subjects: Forty primipara women with postpartum depression (PPD) selected randomly from Kasr El Ainy University Hospital in Cairo complaining of postpartum depression at least one month after childbirth shared in this study.
The study team is developing an e-learning course to train obstetric providers to address perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. The study team will conduct a formative evaluation of the e-learning course with 10 obstetric providers and revise/refine the course based on feedback and then conduct a summative evaluation using a cluster Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). The three-arm cluster RCT will evaluate the effectiveness of 1) a virtual implementation protocol and e-learning/toolkit as compared to 2) e-learning/toolkit alone as compared to 3) treatment-as-usual. Effectiveness will be evaluated based on rates and quality of care for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Using 2:2:1 randomization, the study team will randomize a minimum of 15 to a maximum of 25 obstetric practices into three groups: (1) virtual implementation protocol plus e-learning/toolkit (n=6 to 10); (2) e-learning/toolkit alone (n=6 to 10); and (3) treatment-as-usual (n=3 to 5), which will yield a maximum of 1000 patient charts evaluated for care received from obstetric providers in the randomized practices. Charts from 40 patients per practice will be evaluated at 3 different time points.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using behavioral activation therapy with caregiver support delivered via telemedicine to older adults with depression and probable mild dementia.
Postpartum depression (PPD) affects up to one in five of women and has profound effects on mothers and their infants. Unfortunately, fewer than 15% of women with PPD receive evidence-based care. This is at least partly due to significant difficulties faced by women in accessing psychotherapies, their preferred treatment for PPD. Around the world, there is a significant lack of healthcare professionals trained to deliver CBT. This study will utilize a randomized controlled trial design (with wait-list controls) and recruit 174 participants to determine if women with a past history of PPD (i.e., lay peers) can be trained to deliver effective group CBT online to women currently struggling with PPD. If peers can be trained to provide effective CBT, more women would receive treatment and the burden of PPD on women, families, and the healthcare system would be significantly reduced.
