Filter by:Psychological issues are common among university students and affect mental wellbeing. The Caring Universities (CU) project, involving nine Dutch universities, aims to enhance students' mental health through an annual online questionnaire and a platform offering guided eHealth interventions. One intervention, LifeHack, utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy-based modules to improve mental wellbeing by enhancing resilience and life skills. The effects of LifeHack with pre-post measurements (total n = 216 at post-test) found found that LifeHack led to improvements in mental wellbeing, but dropout rates were influenced by lack of motivation and module relevance. A personalized version of LifeHack is being developed to address these issues and will be evaluated in an RCT to assess its effectiveness in improving mental wellbeing and related outcomes among university students.
The goal of the clinical trial is to test whether a mental health program that is delivered through the Internet works well for healthy children and adolescents with siblings with cystic fibrosis (CF). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the program improve the mental health and quality of life of healthy siblings? - Does the program improve the relationship between healthy children and adolescents and their sibling with CF? - Does the program help healthy siblings learn about CF? Participants will: - Fill out an online survey asking questions about their family and mental health before the program - Complete the online mental health program over five weeks - Fill out a weekly question asking about their mood for 10 weeks - Fill out an online survey asking questions about their family and mental health after the program Healthy children and adolescents with siblings with CF will be compared against themselves. Researchers will compare participants scores before starting the program with their scores during and after completing the program. Researchers hope to develop a program that improves mental health, quality of life, sibling relationships, and knowledge about CF.
Even though internet-based interventions have been used in treatment of forensic psychiatric outpatients for over ten years, no robust research into their effectiveness has taken place. Multiple potential benefits and barriers have been observed in clinical practice, such as the possibility to increase a patient's treatment readiness, self-efficacy and thus reduce undesired behaviour such as reactive aggression. However, therapists indicate that these interventions do not seem to work for all forensic psychiatric patients, and that uptake is generally quite low. There is an urgent need to evaluate if and how these internet-based interventions are of added value for treatment of forensic psychiatric outpatients. The main goal of this study is to investigate whether the addition of the existing internet-based intervention 'Aggression' to treatment as usual of forensic psychiatric outpatients leads to better treatment outcomes than treatment as usual that is delivered solely in-person. This study uses a multicentre mixed methods randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, with four participating Dutch forensic psychiatric outpatient care organizations. Patients are included if they receive outpatient treatment for aggression regulation problems and will be randomized into an experimental condition, in which the internet-based intervention is added to treatment as usual (TAU), or a control condition, with only TAU. Participants are assessed four times: at baseline (T0), halfway during the 10-week intervention (T1), after completing the intervention (T2), and after three months (T3). Primary outcome measures are regulatory emotional self-efficacy, treatment readiness, and aggression, assessed via validated self-report questionnaires. Secondary outcome measures are the number of in-person treatment sessions during the data collection, and dynamic risk factors. Adherence to and engagement will be studied as potential predictors for effectiveness via respectively log data and a self-report questionnaire. Perceived benefits, barriers and points of improvement will be identified via qualitative interviews with participating patients and therapists. This will be the first experimental study to investigate an internet-based intervention in a forensic psychiatric outpatient sample. By using a mixed-methods design and by adding adherence and engagement as potential predictors, this study can not only answer questions about if, but also why and for whom this intervention works. Consequently, this study will answer an important question from clinical practice: are these types of interventions - which have been used in practice for over ten years - actually of added value for treatment?
The current study is a feasibility pilot of the Lausanne Trialogue Play paradigm Intervention - Brief (LTP-Brief), a family systems therapy implemented in a community mental health setting. We will study the ultrabrief, virtual therapy to assess the feasibility of a future pilot RCT. Feasibility metrics include resource, scientific, and management considerations, as well as an examination of pre-post change in future child and family outcomes of interest.
Recent evidence has shown that intervention programs for remarried people are scarce. Furthermore, from what is known, no specific intervention models (traditional or web-based) has yet been developed for remarried Portuguese population. This study evaluates the efficacy of a web-based Psychoeducational Simulation Game on marital adjustment on marital social skills, on remarriage beliefs, on parenting attitudes, and on the stepfamily functioning.
In this prospective two-arm study, the investigators will evaluate the incidence of suboptimal preoperative assessments when the participants are evaluated through a web based application (Preanestes@s) versus the traditional outpatient interview.
