Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the lifestyle intervention on life quality and mental health among overweight adults with severe mental illness in Shenzhen, China. A total of 210 overweight adults with severe mental illness will be randomly allocated to intervention group and control group. Participants in the intervention groups will receive a 10-month lifestyle intervention while the control group will be waitlisted. A group of investigators will measure the anthropocentric indicators, blood pressure, lifestyle, life quality, and mental health for all participants.
The purpose of this study is to collect patients' experiences and feedback to better understand and improve mental health care using telehealth services. This is critically important as telehealth appointments, including both phone and video calls, continue to be offered for regular appointments to reduce in-person interaction as a preventive measure to help control the spread of COVID-19.
Some COVID-19 survivors may have respiratory and mental health sequelae, especially those who required hospitalization. The investigators hypothesize that the participation of a rehabilitation program composite by home-based respiratory physiotherapy and telephone-based psychological support will improve respiratory function, quality of life, and psychological status in severe COVID-19 patients.
Focusing on seniors with mental health conditions who are living in the community, this initiative proposes to assess the acute and long-term effects of an 8-week course of daily (5 days/week) cognitive remediation (CR) training among 270 participants living in five LOFT senior housing units. The acute course of CR will be followed by monthly one-week boosters until the end of this 5-year study, totaling approximately 24-60 months of follow-up. This trial will also be used as a platform to explore the ability to use transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to optimize response to CR by participant randomization to active versus sham tDCS. Our ultimate goal is to improve the lives of seniors experiencing mental illness and shape a future where they can live independently.
The aim of this randomized, two-arm, investigator initiated, multi municipal, parallel-group superiority trial is to compare the effect on self-reported personal recovery of the following interventions: (1) 10-week group-based peer support intervention "Paths to everyday life" (PEER) added to service as usual (SAU); and (2) SAU alone. The primary outcome is self-reported personal recovery at end of intervention. Secondary and exploratory measures include empowerment, quality of life, functioning, hope, self-efficacy, self-advocacy and social network. The investigators, hypothesize that the superiority of the PEER intervention will be applicable for secondary outcomes and exploratory measures at end of intervention so that improvement in empowerment, hope, self-efficacy, self-advocacy, social network, quality of life and functioning will be improved among participants allocated to the PEER intervention.
This is a research study to assess the effectiveness of a peer-led collaborative care model for integrating treatment for substance use and or mental health disorders into HIV care settings. Depending on whether or not participants enroll in this study, participants will be assigned randomly (by chance, like drawing a number from a hat) to one of two groups. In group 1, participants would receive usual clinical care. In group 2, participants would work with a peer-case manager who would help support participants to engage in substance use or mental health disorder care. Regardless of the group participants are in, participants will fill out a survey when first enrolled in the study, and then again 12 months later.
The gold-standard intervention for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD). Because more patients with OUD need access to MOUD in primary care, the investigators are testing whether the Collaborative Care model (CoCM) is effective at treating both mental health disorders (MHD) and OUD concurrently in primary care settings. The intervention is CoCM for MHD and OUD. The active control is CoCM for MHD, but not treating OUD. The primary objective is to compare patient-reported outcomes in the intervention and control groups, and will be tested with in an Effectiveness trial. The secondary objective is to compare the detection of OUD pre- versus post-OUD screening implementation, and will be tested using a Pre-Post trial design. The exploratory objective is to compare intervention clinics randomized to a low-intensity sustainability implementation strategy or a high-intensity sustainability strategy, and will be tested in an Implementation trial.
The aim of the proposed project is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the mental health impact of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in Spain. A prospective cohort study of three groups will be conducted: (1) COVID-19 cases or close contacts recently isolated or quarantined; (2) healthcare workers; (3) adult general population. Recruitment through epidemiologic surveillance services, hospitals, primary care centers in 6 Spanish Autonomous Communities (groups 1 & 2) and a random sample of individuals using telephone numbers as the sampling frames(group 3). Web-based surveys or telephone interviews at baseline and 6-month follow-up assess: current living and employment status; COVID-19 infection status; mental health (post-traumatic stress, panic, depression, anxiety, alcohol and substance use, suicidality; services use); psychological functioning; general health status and quality of life. Specific modules focus on isolation or quarantine (group 1) and care for COVID-19 patients (group 2). Short bi-weekly brief follow-up surveys among groups 1 & 2 will provide additional assessment of main outcomes in the two months following baseline assessment.
MUMMIEBODIES is a research study when women with eating disorders encounter pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. These are some condensed months that represent major challenges for this group. There are both a scientific and clinical basis for the mother's mental health to influence care and interaction with the child. In the case of eating disorders, there is also a risk of harmful consequences for the fetus as well as for more complicated pregnancies and births. This is a very important field of knowledge, but also a field about which there is far too little scientific knowledge. There is too little scientific knowledge about how women with eating disorders physically and mentally relate to their bodies and food during and after pregnancy. There is a great need for research that promotes expertise in how to help and meet women with eating disorders in these important phases of life. The aim of the study is to bring out the users' experiences. The investigators interview face-to-face pregnant women and mothers with eating disorders about their subjective experiences both during pregnancy and during childbirth. Recruitment of participants will be via health stations. The investigators will identify the course, experiences and solutions when women with eating disorders encounter pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. The investigators focus on three themes: 1) experience of course and change, 2) experience of emotional, cognitive and relational core experiences, and 3) women's own perceptions of what is the best help. The three themes have in common that they are fundamental for later development of help for this vulnerable group. The investigators have a clear idea that some of the best preventive work can be done before life really starts.
Maintaining the population's fitness for work is a priority for the UK Government. People with poor health often struggle at work and take sick leave. Work brings financial, social and health benefits. Few employees receive support to manage their health at work, known as vocational advice, so when their health affects work they visit their general practitioner (GP). The investigators have recently shown the benefits of providing vocational advice for adults consulting in primary care with musculoskeletal pain. The WAVE study research question is: in patients consulting in general practice who receive a fit note for time off work, does a brief vocational advice intervention lead to fewer days lost from work than usual primary care, and is it cost-effective? WAVE includes a feasibility phase to adapt a vocational advice intervention for a broader group of patients and test it in a small sample of patients; followed by a pragmatic, multi-centre, two-arm, parallel-group randomised (1:1) trial with internal pilot phase, mixed methods process evaluation and health economic analysis. Patients will be randomised to either (i) vocational advice intervention plus usual care, or (ii) usual care alone. The vocational advice intervention is designed as a stepped care model based on the principles of case management and delivered by trained Vocational Support Workers (VSWs). The investigators will also interview patients, General Practitioners (GPs), VSWs and employers to understand their views about the intervention and return to work. Participants in the trial will be followed-up over 6 months with fortnightly text messages and postal questionnaires at 6 weeks and 6 months.
