Filter by: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.
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.
The proposed project aims to disentangle the impact of evening light exposure emitted from tablet devices from the impact of arousing media content on children's sleep regulation, circadian physiology and next-day emotion regulation and executive functioning.
Entry in the REThinkACADEMY trial will be based on the high distress range on a psychological validate instrument to assess stress. After participants are enrolled in the REThinkACADEMY trial and randomized, those in the experimental condition ill access a ecological momentary intervention (EMI) app for the prevention of emotional disorders for 4 weeks. In the second stage, for the non-responders to the ecological supportive intervention, the online game will be implemented while the rest of the groups will be monitored for another 4 weeks. At the next step, post-test outcomes assessment will be implemented. Long term assessments will be conducted at 6 months for the college student's naturalistic follow-up phase.
The goal of this pilot project is to test for initial efficacy of the Recovery & Care Canine-Assisted Therapy program that has been developed and implemented in Lawrence Hall, a Chicago-based residential treatment center for maltreated youth. In this study, the investigators test the feasibility, acceptability, and short-term efficacy of expanding the program to a group of youth currently in outpatient treatment for social, emotional, and behavioral problems. Results from this project will provide preliminary evidence of whether a structured, goal-oriented intervention program focused on dog training activities has direct impact on increasing youth emotional self-regulation, impulse control, and self-efficacy, which are important targets for intervention among youth with mental health problems. If successful, this project could lead to a larger, randomized control clinical trials study that tests the longitudinal impact of the program that could further lead to national dissemination of the Recovery & Care curriculum as an alternative therapeutic approach.
This pilot study aims to inform decision-making for a bigger study we intend to conduct in the future. The larger investigation will explore how helpful a treatment program for youth (ages 17 - 24) with emotion dysregulation (ED) is, as well as how this program affects the brain. The current pilot study will also explore these topics, but on smaller scale.The treatment program we are researching is called Emotion Regulation Skills (ERS). It is based on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Skills Training (DBT-ST), a type of skills-focused therapy for individuals who experience severe ED. ERS has been updated to be friendlier to youth and involves learning skills for how to: (1) be more present in the moment, (2) effectively manage and respond to emotional experiences, (3) communicate your needs to others, and (4) increase your ability to tolerate distress.
This study will examine the effects of social support on threat vigilance and arousal using eye tracking. We will also test the moderating effects of trauma and discrimination history.
The primary aim of the proposed Randomised Control study is to investigate the effects of a socially assisted robot (i.e. Purrble) and a bespoke Single Session Intervention (SSI) on students' anxiety (measured by GAD7) over the period of the academic term (in comparison to a wait-listed student group). Secondary aims include investigating the effects of the Purrble and SSI on students' depression, emotion regulation processes, and quantitative and qualitative (interviews) measures of engagement with the intervention.
Central indicators of psychological functioning such as difficulties in emotion regulation and habitual problems in one's relating to others are likely to have been substantially impacted by the COVID-19 amelioration measures of societal lock-down and physical (ne social) distancing. In turn, as these amelioration measures have been relaxed, that impact will presumably be reduced, gradually returning these factors to pre-crisis levels. Also, these factors are likely to predict mental health outcomes such as symptoms of depression and anxiety throughout the pandemic and beyond, so that levels of emotion regulation difficulties and interpersonal problems early on will predict later symptom status. Similarly reductions in such difficulties during the various phases of the outbreak will be associated with a concurrent reduction in psychological symptoms and reduced symptom levels at later stages.
Background: The ability to retrieve specific memories is a cognitive and emotional protective factor. Among the most effective techniques to generate autobiographical memories is the use of audio-visual stimuli, particularly images. Developing and improving techniques that facilitate the generation of such memories could be highly effective in the prevention of depressive symptoms, especially in the elderly population. The aim of the present study is to examine how the level of personal relevance of pictures as autobiographical memory cues to induce positive emotions may affect an individual's emotion regulation. Methods: The participants, 120 older adults aged 65 and over and 120 young adults aged between 18 and 35, of both sexes and without depressive symptoms, will be induced to a negative mood state by means of viewing a film clip. Following the negative mood induction, the participants will be shown positive images according to experimental group to which they were randomly assigned (high personal relevance: personal autobiographical photographs; medium personal relevance: pictures of favourite locations associated with specific positive autobiographical memories; and low personal relevance: positive images from the International Affective Picture System). The investigators will analyse the differences in subjective (responses to questionnaires) and objectives measures (EEG signal, heart rate variability and electrodermal activity) between the groups before and after the induction of negative affect and following the recall of positive memories. Discussion: The use of images associated with specific positive autobiographical memories may be an effective input for inducing positive mood states, which has potentially important implications for their use as a cognitive behavioural technique to treat emotional disorders, such as depression, which are highly prevalent among older adults.
