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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
We conducted a randomized, controlled trial of dignity therapy for terminally ill patients with the aim of reducing dignity-related distress and demoralization and improving spiritual well-being.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week program in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in reducing work absences and improving the well-being of healthcare workers. Half of participants will be healthcare employees who are frequently absent from work, whereas the other half will be healthcare employees with normal attendance patterns. All participants will undergo MBSR training and the outcomes of both groups will be evaluated.
The present study will investigate the effects of a mindfulness training on emotion regulation and social cognition, using several psychological, behavioral, psychophysiological and neuroimaging methods.
