Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the efficacy of a reflective journaling intervention-"Me Through Time"- in decreasing levels of derailment, and its impact on downstream depressive symptoms.
There is a lack of data on patients self-reported outcomes (PROMs) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL)and symptoms on anxiety and depression 10 years after Surgical After Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR), and patient reported experiences with the health services (PREMS). In this 10-years follow-up study on patients alive from the study named "The Impact of 24/ 7-phone Support on Readmission After Aortic Valve Replacement, a Randomized Clinical Trial (AVRre)" NCT02522663 we will repeat the survey on symtoms on anxiety and depresion using Hospital Anxiety and depression Scale (HADS), health-related quality of life (EQ-5D) and questions about experiences with the health services.
The goal of this interventional study is to assess the effectiveness of the universal suicide prevention program "Youth Aware of Mental Health" in 3rd-year secondary education students in Galicia. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the YAM program effective in reducing severe suicidal ideation at 12 months from baseline within the experimental group and compared to the control group? - Is the YAM program effective in preventing the incidence of new suicidal attempts, 12 months from baseline in the experimental group compared to the control group? All participants in this study will be asked to: Complete a survey at baseline and after 12 months, consisting of measures for suicidal ideation and behavior, depressive symptoms, seeking help behaviors, bullying, problematic internet use, and emotional distress. Only those allocated to the experimental group will be asked to: Undergo the YAM program, an evidence-based intervention structured into five one-hour class group sessions (45-50 min.), focused on problem-solving by peers. The program consists of interactive presentations, dilemma discussions, role-playing, and reflection, all moderated by a trained YAM instructor. Twelve months after the intervention, all participants will undergo a re-evaluation using the same protocol. The researchers will compare differences in pre- and post-measures within the experimental and control groups, as well as between both groups, to assess the impact of the YAM intervention on outcomes such as suicidal ideation and attempts. At the end of the study, those who were allocated to the control group are going to be offered the YAM intervention program.
Oxytocin has been proposed as a neuroendocrine mechanism that may mediate the relationship between dog ownership and positive health outcomes and be linked to human-dog interactions and is thought to be a mechanism of interspecies bonding. While the role of oxytocin in human bonding behaviours and social behaviour, in general, is becoming well-established the role of oxytocin in human-animal interaction and Animal-Assisted Interventions (AAI) remains unclear. This research gap calls for more high-quality research investigating this possible neuroendocrine underlying mechanism to advance knowledge about AAI. If oxytocin indeed might be involved in interspecies bonding, intranasally administered oxytocin should not only enhance trust toward a human but also towards a dog.
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to investigate the effects of vitamin D3 supplementation on depression in Chinese adolescents with elevated depressive symptoms and vitamin D deficiency. The main question it aims to answer whether vitamin D3 supplementation can reduce depressive symptoms. Participants in the intervention group will receive vitamin D3 capsules and mental health education. The control group will receive vitamin D3 placebo and mental health education. Researchers will compare the change in depressive symptoms from baseline to post-intervention at 12 weeks between the intervention and control groups.
The study evaluates how various therapeutic approaches perform in addressing depression, anxiety symptoms, and stress levels among patients in the second stage of cardiac rehabilitation. This study aims to evaluate the influence of the used therapeutic approaches on psychological outcomes and to compare the effectiveness of these therapies.
The goal of this parallel cluster randomized control (CRT) trial is to evaluate a group-based mind-body intervention (Move with HaRT) in survivors of human trafficking. The main study aims are: 1. Determine effectiveness of the Move with HaRT intervention on PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptoms among survivors of human trafficking in Uganda 2. Explore participant characteristics (e.g., age, trafficking history, food security) that may moderate the intervention effectiveness. 3. Understand potential barriers and facilitators to future implementation and scale-up. Participants will complete: - Complete three surveys (baseline, endline, and 3 month follow-up) - Participate in either Services as Usual or Move with HaRT groups - Qualitative in-depth interviews Researchers will compare Move with HaRT with Services as Usual to see effects on mental health symptoms.
This study is a two-armed randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed at evaluating the effectiveness and adoption of a transdiagnostic mobile app intervention that focuses is on enhancing adaptive emotional regulation (ER) skills among university students.
A single arm, pilot study in which all eligible participants will be enrolled in an 8-week coach-guided smartphone delivered CBT program. The full duration of the program, with follow-up interview, will be 9 weeks.
Many adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) have depressive symptoms, which negatively impact their quality of life. A lot of of the non-medicinal forms of treatment are not or hardly suitable for people with ID. Bright light therapy (BLT) seems to be a good option. Earlier research has shown that BLT is applicable in this group and seems promising in terms of reducing depressive symptoms, without serious side effects. In part 1 of this project we investigate the implementation of BLT at Amarant. We will take the lessons learned into part 2 of this project: the implementation of BLT at Abrona. We will evaluate this process and the outcomes.
