Filter by:This project will adapt and pilot a feasible and effective problem-solving therapy designed for low-resource settings to address common mental disorders like depression and anxiety - the Friendship Bench- in a Vietnamese population of individuals living with HIV who also have opiate use disorder. The Friendship Bench approach has the potential to make an important contribution to address CMDs and reduce barriers to HIV treatment success among people living with HIV (PLWH) with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), a critical population driving the HIV epidemic in Vietnam and many Southeast Asian countries. This proposal will generate critical evidence for designing a fully powered clinical trial to test the investigation team's adapted FB protocol in improving HIV, mental health, and drug use treatment outcomes for this vulnerable population.
This randomized control study is to test effectiveness of occupational therapy support for informal caregivers of older adults with cognitive decline. Care recipients are community-living older adults who are eligible for a nursing home level of care. At baseline challenges that caregivers are facing will be expressed and individualized solutions will be identified and delivered for the treatment and educational material will be given to the control group. Two and four months later, follow up interview will be made to identify changes in burden, depression, fatigue, self-efficacy, and positive aspect of care giving. It is expected to show when the effectiveness becomes clear.
The main objective of the present work is to establish a firm knowledge base regarding depression and anxiety as risk factors for dementia and how social relationships impact this association. This risk factors, and efforts to reduce them are described through a follow up over three decades.
This study compares the effects of two wise interventions (implicit theory of personality intervention and implicit theory of personality intervention plus self-affirmation) with a control condition in the stress responses of young adults. Responses include respiratory sinus arrhythmia, heart rate, skin conductance level, cortisol levels, and mood.
This study will determine the safety and efficacy of home administered tDCS in adults with unipolar depression. The device used to administer tDCS will be the Soterix Medical 1X1 mini-CT. 32 tDCS sessions of 30 minutes each will be delivered over 10 weeks.
The study is an initial investigation of the feasibility of applying Bayesian sequential analyses to individual participant single-case data for rapid detection of whether or not the individual is benefitting from a low-intensity computerized cognitive training intervention for depression. Patients waiting for, or in follow-up from, outpatient psychological therapy will complete first a two-week period of daily symptom monitoring, followed by two different two-week cognitive training interventions. Data collected will be used to assess feasibility of a future formal case series using Bayesian sequential analyses to determine switching of interventions, and inform the analysis parameters for such a future study.
It is not clear whether depresssion can predispose, or precipitate stroke recurrence in patients with stroke. We sought the relationship of post stroke depression with stroke recurrence.
The goal of this this study is to develop and test the feasibility of a remotely delivered brief behavioral activation intervention to decrease the negative physical and psychological consequences of being homebound among older adults during the time of COVID.
This study compares the effectiveness of 2 digital therapeutics in adult participants diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) who are on antidepressant therapy (ADT) monotherapy for the treatment of depression.
This study aims to explore whether quarantine measures, social distancing and hospital containment policies among women giving birth during the COVID-19 pandemic enhanced psycho-emotional distress in the immediate postpartum period. The investigators tested for depression using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in the first 6 postpartum months, and then used the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, measuring also the adherence and practices of breastfeeding according to WHO.
