Filter by:The study employed a post-test non-randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of the PİKSEÇ (Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Selection) application on the success of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) placement, as well as on the pain and emotional level scores of hospitalized preschool children aged 3-6 years. In preschool children, aged 3-6 years, who were hospitalized, anxiety about losing body integrity is commonly observed. Children tend to think that all the material inside their bodies can come out through a wound or hole during invasive procedures. Therefore, it becomes crucial to reduce anxiety related to invasive procedures in children of this age group. In this context, the study aimed to be conducted in preschool children.

Background: Admission to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is associated with significant levels of parental stress and anxiety. Parents are often uncertain to perform care giving activities and might feel uncertain to fulfill the desirable parental role during NICU admission. Furthermore, transition of the NICU to another unit or hospital is stressful for parents often related to poor information and communication. A VOICE program is developed aiming to increase the empowerment of parents, to improve partnership between parents of very premature infants and healthcare professionals. Aim: To conduct a feasibility RCT study to evaluate the implementation and the effect of the VOICE program on parental stress and anxiety in the NICU. Methods: Design is a feasibility RCT to test the procedures, compliance, determine sample size, estimating recruitment and retention, and to get first insight in the effects of the VOICE program on the outcome measures. VOICE will be implemented as a structured empowerment and partnership program for parents from admission of the infant to the NICU till the first visit to the out-patient clinic. The program exists of five structured and focused meetings, following the acronym VOICE (Values, Opportunities, Integration, Control and Evaluation). These interdisciplinary meetings with parents aim to increase the involvement of parents in the care and decision making of participants' infant in the NICU. The primary outcome measures will be parental stress and anxiety measured by the Chinese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (Chinese version). The secondary outcome measures will be parent satisfaction with care measured by the Empowerment of Parents in the Intensive Care (EMPATHIC-30) scale, length-of-stay in the NICU, hours of parental visitation and activities, compliance of NICU staff to the VOICE program. An embedded qualitative study will be designed to explore the experiences of parents and NICU staff about the implemented VOICE program. Individual interviews with parents and focus groups sessions with NICU staff will be conduction. This will help to identify methodological issues such as recruitment and retention and any enablers and barriers to the intervention which may impede the future RCT.

Millions of U.S. parents have experienced trauma, putting them at risk for maladaptive parenting practices, which then confer vulnerabilities to their children. This study aims to enhance understanding of how parental emotional dysregulation associated with traumatic stress impedes effective parenting. The study employs neurophysiological methods (electroencephalogram; EEG) to address some of the challenges inherent in the study of emotion (particularly in trauma-exposed individuals) and to identify potential biomarkers of traumatic stress and response to intervention.
Hospital setting is a stressful environment to the hospital staff due to work shifts, high level of responsibility, stressful challenging situations, as well as work and emotional pressures. The rate of burnout among hospital staff is high, as well as the risk of depression and suicide. The association between chronic work stress in hospital and the development of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular complications and cancer is well established. However, it is actually not easy for the hospital staff to establish a healthier life habit and stress management skills by themselves due to the busy work schedule and the lack of persistence of building up new habits. We hypothesized that conduction of the personalized stress management coaching with the assistance of portable device could be beneficial for the hospital staff to adopt a few healthy behaviors for daily practice, which could reduce stress and the related consequences. The current study will be conducted in two separate hospitals from Wuhan (China) with different intervention strategies and conduction teams. Each institution will recruit 200 participants and complete the full set of biographic information collections at recruitment. Clinical score evaluations, biosample collections as well as 24 h Holter monitoring will be both collected at the recruitment and after 3-month intervention phase. Tongji hospital will receive the active stress-management intervention; the health educator will group the participants together and provide on a weekly basis: stress knowledge and stress-related hazards online, stress management necessities and skills. Meanwhile, weekly data of exercises, cardiac health and sleep condition generated from HUAWEI portable devices will be summarized and sent to the participants together with personalized suggestions and encouragement by trained nurses. Participants from Tongji hospital will be involved in a social network to share their experience and gain insight from the discussions. Finally, they will also complete an electronic diary that covers elements of daily life and stress management activity. The Control institution will be Wuhan No1 hospital, the participants will receive minimum information regarding stress and stress management; they will not receive personalized intervention and will not be involved in group chat. They will be asked to fill in a simplified questionnaire biweekly. The outcome parameters will be the stress relief evaluated by clinical forms and questionnaires, heart rate variability (HRV) parameters, and the establishments of healthier life habits. The current study design would propose a novel strategic stress management plan for the hospital administrates in order to improve the hospital staff health.
The NHS DISCOVER team has secured 2-year funding from the Maudsley Charity to tailor the workshop programme the investigators deliver in school Sixth Forms to meet the specific needs of Care Experienced young people. The investigators are planning to complete a pilot of this adapted workshop programme within Medway Children's Social Services to explore its feasibility, accessibility, acceptability and early-stage efficacy within this population of adolescents. Investigators from the DISCOVER team will recruit young people aged 16-19yrs who are currently known to the Medway Care Leavers 16+ teams. The study will be conducted at Medway Local Authority sites, with the option of some stages being completed remotely via Microsoft Teams if needed in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
