Filter by:This mixed-methods acceptability study aims to investigate whether an early acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) based intervention called ProACTive™, aimed at supporting burns patients' adjustment to a changed appearance and preventing distress, is acceptable. This will be measured by descriptive data, questionnaire data and semi-structured interviews. Preliminary data on the potential clinical effectiveness of the intervention will also be gathered. This will be measured by scores on standardised questionnaires.
From a psychoevolutionary perspective, anger is a universal emotion that can serve the function of making us aware of wrongdoing and motivating us to undo/correct the wrongdoing. However, it is well recognized in clinical psychology that anger can be maladaptive, often causing distress and impairment in various areas of day-to-day life; untreated maladaptive anger has been found to raise the risk of certain physical health problems e.g., hypertension and coronary heart disease. At the very extreme, rage has been implicated in aggression and violence. Not surprisingly, there has been a widespread quest for anger treatments or what is popularly called "anger management". One treatment approach that has received increasing empirical support is Cognitive Behavioral Affective Therapy (CBAT), which has been applied to patients with chemical dependence and individuals with chronic pain. To extend this programmatic line of research, the proposed research aims to evaluate the efficacy of CBAT in reducing multiple (psychometric and self-monitored) measures of anger within a community sample.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a vein imaging device and virtual reality distraction on the success of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIC) placement, intervention duration, emotional appearance, pain, fear, and anxiety related to PIC intervention in children aged 4-10 years in a pediatric emergency unit.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new cognitive training program to improve emotion regulation in adults. The investigators' primary aim is to determine whether participating in this program addresses two key features of emotion dysregulation associated with psychiatric disorders: (1) emotion-related impulsivity and (2) rumination. The investigators will further evaluate participants' perceived acceptability and feasibility of treatment procedures. Secondarily, the investigators will examine the effects of this cognitive training intervention on psychiatric symptoms and overall functioning. Participants will be asked to complete eight weekly sessions (over two months) involving cognitive training exercises with a "coach", in addition to a baseline assessment before starting the intervention and post-treatment assessment. Each assessment includes a combination of in-person and remote data collection using self-report questionnaires, psychophysiology, and a neuropsychological battery. Participants will also complete one week of ecological momentary assessment before and after the intervention as well as a set of follow-up questionnaires administered remotely six weeks following their final training session. Researchers will compare participants randomly assigned to complete the intervention without delay to a control group of participants randomly assigned to a two-month waitlist before joining the intervention. Before beginning cognitive training, participants in the control condition will complete an additional pre-intervention/post-waitlist assessment, which will follow parallel procedures to the initial baseline assessment.
This study hopes to: explore the relationship between mindfulness mediation experiences and emotional distress and cognitive flexibility levels. explore whether mindfulness interventions can significantly alleviate individual emotional distress and improve cognitive flexibility level. explore whether cognitive flexibility is a mediator in mindfulness intervention to alleviate emotional distress, and to meet the principles of mechanism. explore the brain functional characteristics and changes during the mindfulness intervention.
Exploring the Effectiveness of a mindfulness intervention for Insomniacs with Emotional Distress Comparing the intervention effects of two mindfulness interventions
To meet adolescents' needs regarding mental health vulnerability, this study aims to propose and evaluate three original school-based preventive interventions delivered to French 13y-adolescents, with respect to their effects on mental health outcomes, as well as users' experiences of intervention, evaluated through questionnaires. Based on cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) techniques, these interventions target three strategic process areas: reactive adaptation, proactive adaptation, and interpersonal adaptation. Their effectiveness will be evaluated through a four-arm randomized controlled trial, conducted in an ecological context. Intra-group and inter-group comparisons will be carried out for our different variables of interest, namely targeted psychological processes, levels of distress, functional impairment, and well-being, and user experience indicators of acceptability, utility, and usability.
This study hopes to: 1. explore whether an increase in the dosage of distress tolerance intervention corresponds to greater effectiveness of mindfulness intervention in alleviating emotional distress. 2. explore whether distress tolerance mediates the effects of mindfulness intervention on alleviating emotional distress.
This study hopes to: explore whether offline and online mindfulness interventions can significantly alleviate individual emotional distress and improve cognitive flexibility level. explore whether cognitive flexibility is a mediator in mindfulness intervention to alleviate emotional distress, and to meet the principles of mechanism.
Traditional offline interventions such as MBCT and MBSR have been implemented to treat patients with emotional disorders and obtained significantly improved clinical outcomes. However, these offline interventions require the involvement of a therapist expert in mindfulness and usually charge a high fee, which may not be accessible and cost-effective for lots of patients with psychological disorders. Fortunately, online self-help interventions can compensate for these disadvantages. Our research team has developed a self-help online mindfulness program targeting emotional distress (i.e., iMIED), which has been effective for individuals with emotional distress in a preliminary study. Since patients with emotional disorders usually suffer from emotional distress, the current study will apply this program to these patients, and investigate its auxiliary effects on patients' psychological and physical health. The primary aim of the current study is to evaluate the effectiveness of iMIED for patients with emotional disorders. To do so, we will use a design in which patients who receive online mindfulness training (iMIED) except for treatment as usual (TAU) will be compared with patients who receive TAU alone. We expect the intervention to improve patients' psychopathological symptoms reported by the patients and the clinicians or the research team and increase their overall functioning, positive mental health, and physical health compared to TAU. In addition, previous studies have shown that mindfulness interventions improve psychological symptoms by improving cognitive flexibility. Therefore, the secondary aim of the study is to examine the mediating effect of cognitive flexibility on the relationships between mindfulness practice and improvements in outcome variables, and further explore the mechanism behind it.
