Filter by:The present study of loneliness during the COVID-19-related NPIs is part of a larger project aiming to investigate psychological reactions and symptoms associated with the current and ongoing governmental initiatives in place in Norway. The results will lead to a better understanding of the psychological effects on quarantine on the population and consequently will be relevant for the development of tailored prevention and intervention programs fit for pandemic crises. Objectives Investigate the levels of loneliness in a general population during the strict social distancing government-initiated non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) for the COVID-19 pandemic. Investigate risk and resilience factors for loneliness and the associations between loneliness and psychopathology symptoms during the NPIs. Aims Inform the general public, policy makers, scientists, and health practitioners about the associations of the NPIs with the mental health problem of loneliness and its potential effect on psychopathology. Provide a foundation for policymakers and health-care professionals to employ interventions that protect the general public against increased psychological suffering and dysfunction during society's handling of pandemics.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate if the effectiveness of desvenlafaxine succinate sustained-release tablet (50 mg/day) used for 8 weeks is not inferior to duloxetine hydrochloride enteric-coated capsule (60 mg/day) in adult patients with major depressive disorder.
This is a sham-controlled, randomized trial for patients with MDD to identify the effects of TBS on depressive symptomatology, brain function, and peripheral biomarkers in MDD patients.
Background Computerized cognitive behavioural therapy (cCBT) is proven to be an effective self-help tool for preventing depression and suicide. Patient adherence is one of the components that the effectiveness of cCBT self-help tools are dependent on and that needs to be researched for understanding and maximizing the effectiveness of computer-based interventions for depression and suicide. Aims The aims of this study were to compare the adherence of iFightDepression (iFD) online tool user patients with and without an extra weekly phone call consultation and to test predictors of adherence.
We plan to perform an observational study to evaluate the prevalence of burnout, depression and medical errors in a designated exclusive Covid-19 patients hospital in Malaysia, during the Covid-19 pandemic. We also seek to assess the relationship between burnout and depression with medical errors. The population studied will be the anaesthesiology fraternity, who are at higher risk to the nature of their work at the frontlines of the pandemic.
Recurrent miscarriage is a frustrating event for couples. The purpose of this randomized, controlled trial was to examine the effectiveness of nursing counseling on sleep quality, depression, stress, and social support in women with recurrent miscarriage (RM). Sixty-two eligible women were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 31) or the control (n = 31) group. The experimental group received routine care and three sessions of nursing counseling during the 12-week prenatal genetic testing stage, while the control group received routine care only. Outcome measures included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Edinburgh Prenatal Depression Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Interpersonal Support Evaluation List. Paired sample t-tests were conducted before and after nursing counseling to measure whether there were any statistically significant changes in outcome variables.
This study was a randomized controlled trial of an original online mental health promotion program. This study aimed to: 1) establish program effectiveness by examining symptom change between conditions and 2) examine predictors of symptom change. The program was previously tested in open trial feasibility study by the same Principal Investigator and has since been rebuilt as informed by feasibility findings and participant qualitative feedback. Participants were randomly assigned to either a waitlist condition or eight weeks of the intervention condition. Baseline, posttest, and follow-up electronic surveys collected self-reported symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. Motivational variables were also assessed at baseline and then tested as moderators of intervention effects.
This study seeks to investigate the levels of common psychopathology symptoms (i.e., depression and generalized anxiety) in a general population during the strict social distancing government-initiated non-pharmacological interventions (NPI's) related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also seeks to examine the predictors of generalized anxiety and depressive symptoms, as well as predictors of adherence rates to government-initiated non-pharmacological epidemiological interventions (NPI's). The aim of the project is to: - Inform the policymakers, the general public, scientists, and health practitioners about the psychological associations of the COVID-19-related government-initiated measures. - Provide a foundation for policymakers and health-care professionals to employ interventions that protect the general public against possibly increased psychological stressors, suffering and dysfunction during society's handling of the pandemic. - Help policymakers better understand the associations of demographic variables and psychological symptoms with adherence, providing an initial understanding of adherence rates, which may be used to help society fight against the COVID-19-virus from an epidemiological perspective by promoting factors that increase adherence.
Researchers are testing whether a computer program (called a clinical decision support tool) can help clinicians predict how a patient with depression will respond to antidepressant medication.
Hypothesis 1: Pregnant women in the EFT group will have a lower test score from Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, and a follow-up score of three months and six months after the last application date, compared to the control group. Hypothesis 2: In the post-test of pregnant women in the EFT group, three months and six months after the last application date, the optimistic, self-confident and social support approach methods used to deal with stress will increase, and the helpless and submissive approach styles will decrease compared to the control group. Hypothesis 3: Pregnant women in the EFT group will have a lower test score from the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and a follow-up score of three months and six months after the last application date, compared to the control group.
