Filter by:To explore the effect of Child-Adolescent Emotion and Stress Intervention Program for children with emotional and stress problems, providing early social psychological intervention for aiming the core impairments of emotional and stress problems.
The aim of this study is to develop and validate an Ecological Momentary Intervention APP for healthcare workers, in order to face of work-related stresses generated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Emotional stress is associated with future cardiovascular events. However, the biological interconnection between brain emotional neural activity and acute plaque instability is not fully understood. Optical coherence tomography-Fluorescence Lifetime (OCT-FLIM) dual modal intravascular imaging is a novel technique that enables comprehensive assessment of structural and biochemical characteristics of coronary atheroma and estimates the level of plaque instability. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) enables simultaneous estimation of multi-system activities including emotional stress, arterial inflammation, and hematopoiesis. The present study aims to prospectively investigate mechanistic linkage between coronary plaque instability, stress-associated neurobiological activity, and macrophage hematopoiesis using OCT-FLIM and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging assessment.
The aim of this multicenter randomized crossover design study is to evaluate a sample of 500 boys and girls from public and private schools in the Principality of Asturias, aged between 6 and 12 years, with the objective of determining the level of physical condition, as well as to evaluate the effect of the use of FFP2/N95 face masks during the execution of the ALPHA Fitness battery, and the emotional effects caused by the use of these masks. This is a sample obtained by accessibility, in which the sampling will be stratified by age and academic year.
The aim of the study is to investigate the efficiency of a therapeutic online game, with and without coaching, in training emotional abilities of students.
We conducted a randomized-controlled trial of Guided Written Disclosure Protocol for dermatological patients with the aim of reducing psychological distress, expressive suppression, and skin-related symptoms, and improving spiritual well-being, cognitive reappraisal, and sense of coherence.
Family-centered prevention services for civilian dwelling military (CDM) families & children are rarely available in civilian communities or often framed around mental disorders and family deficits. As of June 2010, over 1 million military service members from various military conflicts have become veterans. Wartime deployments can adversely impact the psychological health of children as well as marital relationships, parent-child relationships & overall family functioning. Although young children in CDM families may never have to cope with another parental deployment, their families may continue to struggle with the lasting effects of wartime deployment that cannot be ameliorated by singularly treating the service member. There is a need for family-centered preventive interventions that effectively build resilience and mitigate war deployment-related family difficulties, especially given the potential adverse emotional & developmental impact of deployment separations and reintegration stress on young children and their parents. To address this need, this study proposes to test the efficacy of FOCUS-EC (Families OverComing Under Stress for Early Childhood), an established strength-based, family-centered preventive intervention that is culturally sensitive and socially accepted by active duty military communities & has promising program evaluation data. A randomized control trial will be conducted with 200 CDM families with young children, ages 3 to 5 years, recruited from Los Angeles & surrounding counties (200 veterans, 150 spouses, and 300 children). CDM families will be randomized to the FOCUS-EC intervention condition (n=100 families; 100 veterans, 75 spouses, 150 children) or web-based educational materials condition (n=100 families; 100 veterans, 75 spouses, and 150 children) and assessed at baseline, 3, 6, & 12 months. It is hypothesized that in the FOCUS-EC condition: 1) children will exhibit more positive social-emotional & behavioral outcomes & developmental competencies than children in the comparison condition, 2) families will exhibit more positive family environment, improved parenting, enhanced parent-child relationships, & fewer parent psychological health problems than families in the comparison condition. The investigators also aim to explore potential moderating effects of child health/development risk, military & deployment/separation history, exposure to combat/trauma during deployment, and veteran & spouse/partner background factors.
The objective of this project is to investigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on frontline healthcare workers, and determine if a virtual music therapy can improve mood and emotional state in this population. For this pilot study, EEG will also be used to assess measures of functional connectivity, attention, and mood in adult participants. Participants will also be evaluated for measures of emotion using a standardized test battery (NIH toolbox). This pilot study will show how frontline healthcare workers have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and provide evidence as to the effectiveness of Music Therapy to support mental health in this essential population.
This study will investigate how maternal emotional state following a controlled stress exposure in pregnancy influences blood glucose and insulin levels after eating a standardized meal, and whether the effects of emotional state on blood glucose and insulin is different after eating a healthy meal (low GI) compared to a less healthy meal (high GI).
The number of women who are incarcerated in the U.S. has increased dramatically over the past 20 years-over 750%, or from 13,258 in 1980 to 111,616 in 2016. Arkansas incarcerates 92 women per 100,000 population compared to 57 per 100,000 average across all states, ranking the state as the 8th highest in the nation. Over 75% of incarcerated women are of childbearing age and about 4% are pregnant upon intake. However, little is known about the population of women who have become incarcerated while pregnant in Arkansas - including the outcomes of these women and their children and how these outcomes may vary in relation to services that are received during incarceration. This research study aims to first expand knowledge on incarcerated women in Arkansas by using administrative data to retrospectively examine the health status and outcomes of pregnant women who were incarcerated in state prison by Arkansas from June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2019 (a five-year cohort; Aim 1). Then, we will lay the groundwork for and subsequently analyze data on outcomes and perspectives of women who have been incarcerated in Arkansas while pregnant (Aims 2 and 3). We will also seek to understand the feasibility and acceptability of elements of an enhanced support program for incarcerated pregnant women recently launched via a collaboration between Arkansas Department of Corrections and UAMS.
