Filter by:Volunteers over the age of 18 who applied to the Neurology Outpatient Clinic of Dokuz Eylül University Hospital, who were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in the last three months, one month after the initiation of treatment and accepted the study, will be included in the study after their eligibility to the sampling criteria is evaluated. EDSS will be applied to the individuals by the specialist physician and they will be directed to the MS daycare unit. Since it is a randomized controlled experimental study, the sampling and follow-up measurements will be carried out by a psychologist in the unit where the study is applied, who does not carry out EFT. Scales will be applied in the daily unit and will be randomly divided into two groups at the beginning of the study. The psychologist who chooses the sampling will not know which group the participants will fall into, and the EFT practitioner will not know the anxiety, depression and psychological distress levels of the individuals participating in the study. EFT will be applied to one of the groups, and the other group will continue their routine treatment. Individuals with multiple sclerosis in the experimental group seven days at intervals, six sessions in which one session lasts 30-45 minutes will be included in the EFT application. SUDS will be applied before and after each EFT session. At the same time, resting heart rate and blood pressure will be measured in the EFT group before and after each session. Depression, anxiety and psychological distress levels of individuals with MS will be evaluated with HAD and SUDS at the beginning of the study, at the end of six sessions and in the first month.
This study aims to develop, implement, and assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a 10-week structured and individualized cognitive-emotional intervention program for homebound older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and with depressive and/or anxiety symptoms. Homebound Elderly People Psychotherapeutic Intervention (HEPPI) is designed to maintain or improve memory functioning, reduce depressive and/or anxiety symptoms, and help participants to compensate or adapt to impaired cognitive performance, improving their quality of life and their subjective perception of memory and health.

There is considerable need for psychological intervention targeting stressor-related mental health symptoms related to COVID-19. The investigators have developed an online self-directed transdiagnostic intervention to address this need called RESTORE: Recovering from Extreme Stressors Through Online Resources and E-health. The specific aims of this project are to refine and investigate the initial safety, efficacy, and desirability of RESTORE for addressing mental-health symptoms in individuals who have recovered from severe COVID-19 and close others.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a mobile application (app) called "Goal2QuitVaping" to help adolescents quit vaping nicotine. Goal2QuitVaping was developed by our research team to assist with quitting vaping. Participants will be randomly assigned to either download the mobile app, "Goal2QuitVaping", or not. If provided with Goal2QuitVaping, participants will be asked to use the app regularly, at least once per day, throughout the study duration. Participants will be asked to complete electronic questionnaire measures throughout the study period. Participation in this study will take about 4 weeks.
The effectiveness study for Culturally-Adapted Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CA-CBI) will be conducted with individuals infected with and recovered from Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) to measure if this intervention is effective in decreasing the COVID-19 survivors' psychological distress. Potential participants will be given an informed consent and then, they will be included in a screening procedure to assess their eligibility. 86 participants (43 in experimental and 43 in control group-randomly assigned) who pass the screening procedure will be invited to the effectiveness study. The experimental group will receive an 8-session intervention while the control group will receive a brief psychoeducation about problems during COVID-19 pandemic and information about the freely available psychological support options. The measurements will be conducted three times; one week before, one week after and five weeks after the intervention.
The proposed trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) based ecological momentary intervention (EMI) for psychological well-being in stroke family caregivers.
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.
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 is a project that will determine whether the use of daily bright light therapy has an effect on depressive symptoms experienced by adult inpatients with CF and COPD. The purpose of this project is to apply a daily 30-minute BLT intervention to hospitalized adult CF and COPD patients in order to decrease symptoms of depression as measured by depression inventory scoring.
