Filter by:This activity will aim to test the comparative efficacy of the main game-based emotion-regulation abilities training of the REThink online game: cognitive change, biofeedback and problem-solving in reducing stress reactivity of the children and adolescents
Study Design, Aims, and Population: The present study is a three-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT). The primary aim is to test the relative efficacy of two 8-week online interventions - Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) - in promoting diverse university students' social well-being (i.e., reduced loneliness, and enhanced social connectedness and perceived social support) compared to a Waitlist (WL) control group. The secondary aim is to examine the effects of CCT versus MBSR on the mental health of diverse university students compared to the WL group. Mental health is defined in this research as both positive mental health (i.e., happiness, positive emotions, meaning and purpose) and negative mental health (i.e., stress, anxiety, and depression). Additionally, another aim is to enroll 75% students of color and 50% male identifying students, whose social well-being and mental health is currently understudied, to better represent the sociodemographic diversity of the university student population in the literature. Study Rationale: The COVID-19 pandemic triggered widespread disruptions in social connections and relational bonds that robustly support a variety of mental and physical health-protective processes. University students' social well-being may have been especially impacted as universities provide a central context for socialization. At the same time, the pandemic exacerbated a pre-existing rise in cases of mental health conditions in university students. If found effective, online-based CCT and MBSR might serve as scalable psychological interventions to foster social thriving and mental health among diverse university students.
The #KindGirlsInACTion project started in 2017 and developed and implemented a psychotherapeutic intervention program in Portuguese female adolescents. This program aimed to improve the overall quality of life and well-being of the participants, and specifically to promote a qualitative improvement in body image and interpersonal relationships, through the promotion of self-compassion, compassion and psychological flexibility. #KindGirlsInACTion is a school-based program, with 9 sessions over 9 weeks. It is essentially practical and interactive, with exercises created specifically for the program, as well as the regular practice of mindfulness.
Purpose: This research was planned to determine the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction program on reducing the stress level and emotion regulation of nursing students. Design: The research was planned as a pretest, posttest, follow-up and randomized controlled study in order to determine the effect of the mindfulness-based stress reduction program on the stress level and emotion regulation of nursing students. Hypotheses: H1: The perceived stress level scores of nursing students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction program will decrease compared to the nursing students in the control group. H2: The perceived stress level of the nursing students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction program will decrease according to their pretest scores. H3: Emotion regulation strategies of nursing students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction program will differ from the nursing students in the control group. H4: The posttest and follow-up emotion regulation strategies of nursing students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction program will differ from the pretest.
This study investigates the effects of parenting interventions on improving the emotion regulation and functioning of the children with AD/HD as well as their parents' parenting practices and psychological well-being. Two kinds of parenting interventions are selected in this study, namely the Mindful Parenting and Tuning in to Kids programs. The value of this project lies in empowering parents through parenting techniques which they can use both for themselves and for their daily interactions with children. It is hoped to alleviate their stress from the role of parenting children with special needs, which may in turn lead to their better psychological well-being and greater harmony in the families.
The important role of Emotion Regulation (ER) in managing stress and anxiety is well recognized. Aims: 1) assessing the level of anxiety, and the level of difficulties in emotion regulation (DER) among University Students during COVID-19, 2) investigating the effect of the emotional regulation training program on the anxiety of University Students during the COVID-19. Methods: Part I, students will be assessed for their anxiety, DER, and the general impact of COVID-19 on their lives. The students will complete Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Part II will be a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) using a pre-assessment and a post-assessment. A voluntary sample of students will randomly assigned to either a group that will receive emotion regulation training or a control group. The training program is an adapted version of DBT skills training. The training program will include mindfulness, emotion regulation, and problem-solving skills through eight 90- min group sessions.
A behavioural study of the microbiota-gut-brain axis in brain development and mental health
This study will enroll 180 Veterans at a 2:1 ratio where 120 Veterans will be enrolled into a brief transdiagnostic peer supported webSTAIR (BPS webSTAIR) and 60 will be supported into Waitlist. The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy BPS webSTAIR in regard to four outcomes: reduction in PTSD and depression symptoms (measured by the PCL-5 and PHQ-8, respectively) and improvement in emotion regulation and work and social adjustment (measured by the DERS-16 and WSAS, respectively). The active treatment is a 6-session modular treatment that focuses on learning emotion management skills where Particpants will have 10 weeks to complete the treatment. Assessments will occur three times for those in webSTAIR: baseline, post-treatment (10 weeks after randomization) and 8-week follow-up and twice for those on waitlist (baseline and 10 weeks after randomization). It is hypothesized that BPS WebSTAIR will be superior to the Waitlist condition on all four outcomes. Mixed Effects Models will be used to evaluate the outcomes.
Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) often continue to experience anxiety, depression, isolation, and other psychosocial distress due to the severe nature of the transplant experience. Storytelling interventions that provide an opportunity for emotional disclosure have shown preliminary efficacy to alleviate psychosocial distress and improve emotion regulation during health challenges. Not only are these changes observed in response to such interventions, but they can also be directly strengthened with HRV biofeedback (HRVB) training, a device-driven breath pacing practice that uses colored light signals to provide feedback to increase vagal tone and improve emotional responses and sleep quality by regulating negative affect and stress. This randomized controlled trial will explore the effects of HRV biofeedback (HRVB) training combined with a digital storytelling intervention and changes in psychosocial distress with a modified waitlist control in a population of Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) patients.
