Filter by:The investigators are interested in learning more about how the role of mothers' emotions has on the transmission of suicide risk to children. Eligible participants will be invited to participate in a baseline assessment, and 4 follow-up assessments in the next year. This research study is a randomized control trial. Participants that choose to enroll are randomly assigned, that is by chance (like by flipping a coin) to receive DBT Skills Training or treatment as usual (TAU). Participants may also be selected for DBT skills training, it which would occur once a week for 6 months.
The goal of this project is to test whether regulating emotions with help from a friend is more effective and long-lasting in adolescents than regulating alone, and to characterize age-related differences in the neural mechanisms supporting social versus cognitive emotion regulation. Participants will complete a psychology experiment while undergoing fMRI scanning.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-session cognitive-behavioral transdiagnostic protocol for Spanish children aged 8 to 12 within an educational context, Super Skills for Life. The program, designed to enhance emotional management and social interaction skills, will be delivered in a group format and supplemented with multimedia materials. The study will compare outcomes between an intervention group and a wait-list control group.
Therapeutic touch (TD) is a non-pharmacological/integrated treatment method used to balance the body by regulating the imbalanced energy field in the individual or resolving blockages in energy flow. Emotional freedom technique (EFT) is a psychophysiological intervention that combines elements of somatic stimulation using acupuncture points. This research will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of TD and EFT intervention on postpartum mood and fatigue in postpartum women. The research will be conducted between November 2023 and November 2024 with women who gave birth normally and are registered at Karakulak Family Health Center in Konya. This research; It was planned to be carried out with three groups: TD intervention, EFT intervention and control group. The population of the research consists of women who gave birth vaginally and those who gave birth vaginally in the relevant hospital. A pilot study was conducted with 15 people to calculate the sample size. The number of samples was determined as 60 by post hoct analysis in the G*Power 3.1.9.4 program, in line with the pilot study results. Data will be collected with the Personal Information Form, Brief Mood Introspection Scale, Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue, and Unit of Subjective Experience (SUE). The analysis of the data obtained from the research will be carried out in the Social Sciences Statistical Package (SPSS) 25.0 package program. The critical significance value will be taken as 0.05. Therapeutic touch and EFT interventions are thought to be methods that can be used to improve women's health because they are easy to apply, have no side effects, and are non-drug practices that midwives/nurses can apply independently.
In this study, the investigators will test whether the incorporation of positive affect promoting activities in treatment sessions improves outcomes in the context of CBT for depression and DBT for problems of emotion dysregulation. In clinics focused on each of these treatments, the investigators will evaluate these treatments with and without the addition of positive affect promoting activities.
The present study seeks to compare and analyze the degree of usefulness, acceptability and implementation of the Unified Protocol (UP) in its application in two cost-effective formats, the online group and the blended online group for the treatment of emotional disorders in university students in Spain.
BACKGROUND: Binge eating disorder (BED) is the worldwide most-prevalent eating disorder. It is associated with psychiatric comorbidities and obesity, a high impact in life functioning, and high morbidity and mortality. First symptoms appear frequently in youths, who most commonly present incomplete (subthreshold) criteria for BED (precursor forms, PREC-BED). While some subjects will evolve from PREC-BED to BED, there is no gold standard to identify the clinical evolution. Information from prior studies suggest early alterations in reward and inhibitory brain circuits in PREC-BED may predict increased vulnerability or resilience to develop BED. Tools based on MRI brain connectivity analyses (MRI-BC), built on robust and interpretable connectivity whole-brain models, have proven successful in diagnostic classification and predicting certain clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVES: To study MRI-BC diagnostic markers of PREC-BED and to explore prognosis at 1 year of follow-up in a sample of adolescents with obesity (12-17 years old). METHODS: A) Transversal analytical design: 3-group (n=34 per group) comparison of neuroimaging (MRI-BC), neurocognitive and clinical markers in adolescents with obesity and i) BED, ii) PREC-BED, iii) no BED nor PREC-BED (Healthy group, HC). B) Longitudinal analytical design, pilot, exploratory: adolescents with PREC-BED will be evaluated in clinical and neurocognitive variables at 1 year. Baseline brain neuroimaging variables (alone and in combination with clinical and neurocognitive variables) will be analyzed as predictors of clinical prognosis, including conversion to BED.
Protocol of Self Regulation in Early Learners: The Role of Recreational Activity Program (RAP) RAP, which included fun games and lasted 24 sessions, was applied to the students in the study group. Twenty-four sessions include games that help gain rhythm, balance, and patience. The program is planned according to the game theory model, which aims to have fun for children. The program, which aims to develop children's self-regulation skills based on the essential reflections of the model, will include fun games with simple rules. Before the program was implemented, the researchers informed the experimental group about the research and the program, and verbal consent was obtained from the participants.
There are high rates of co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among patients receiving treatment for substance use disorder (SUD). PTSD and SUD should be treated simultaneously, but adults in SUD treatment are often not assessed for PTSD nor offered PTSD-based interventions. One of the reasons for reluctance in offering trauma focused treatment is increased risk of drop out. PTSD and related emotion dysregulation are related to elevated psychological burden, higher dropout rates and increased risk of relapse. this is a feasibility study, where the plan is to integrate a combination of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for Substance Use Disorder (DBT-SUD skills) a therapy targeting difficulties in emotion regulation and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) a trauma focused therapy, for patients with co-occurring PTSD symptoms into standard SUD treatment . The plan is to assess its potential benefits by assessing whether adding this combination to standard SUD treatment is relevant, feasible, acceptable, and safe. Treatment outcomes are 1) Prevalence of PTSD, suicidal behaviour, and self-harm, as well as the severity of difficulties in emotion regulation and emotional avoidance among patients (N approx. = 100) in inpatient treatment for SUD. 2) Change post-treatment and at 3 and 12 months follow up, from baseline in PTSD symptom severity, depressive symptoms, emotion regulation, emotion avoidance, and experience of shame. 3) Rates of dropout and relapse compared to previous rates. This project can increase knowledge about psychological mechanisms in co-occurring PTSD and SUD and improve the quality of treatment for this vulnerable patient population.
The study aims to 1) improve the emotional regulation strategies of children in difficulty in Shenzhen, and 2) develop and publish a set of evidence-based intervention manuals for professional use. Based on the intervention manual design of the researchers' previous study conducted in Hong Kong, the current research revised the intervention manual to adapt to the context of mainland China. This study adopts a randomized wait-list control trial design. The researchers aim to recruit 200 children in difficulty aged 8 to 14 as participants and randomly assign them to an experimental and a wait-list control group with a ratio of 3:2. Each participant will attend four sessions of intervention and one booster session, and each session requires around 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. The participants will complete assessments before the first session of the intervention (T1), immediately after the fourth session of the intervention (T2), and one month after the completion of the intervention (T3). A qualitative assessment will also be conducted after the booster session.
