Filter by:The goal of this prospective cohort study is to study the evolution of adolescent and young people's mental health over a 12-month period after presentation to an emergency department or crisis service for an acute psychiatric episode. This study aims to: - Describe the mental health care trajectories of adolescents and young adults after an acute psychiatric episode. - Identify psychiatric disorders (such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, sleep, etc.) at the different time points of the study (at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after inclusion) ; - Assess the quality of life and functional capacity in daily activities of participants at each study time point ; - Determine the socio-demographic, psychosocial and environmental factors associated with improving mental health over time and with mental health help seeking. Patients aged from 10 to 24, presenting to one of the participating centers for an acute psychiatric episode, and who agree to participate, will be included in the study. Participants will have to complete an online questionnaire every 3 months over a 12-month period (at baseline (T0), at 3 months (T3), at 6 months (T6), at 9 month (T9) and at 12 months (T12))
In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, Sweden and other countries have become aware of how life has changed; the world is now a "hybrid world" where many daily activities have moved online. The forced physical isolation has also led to an increase in depression and loneliness, especially among elderly people. Traditional interventions often involve physical contact, and there are valuable lessons to be learned from this situation, where physical isolation is forced, in order to mitigate the consequences both during and after this pandemic. The overall purpose of this project is to study physical activity as a way to engage in and maintain an active lifestyle and /or increase the quality of life and limit mental health problems for older people and to study how scalability, accessibility, commitment, and adherence can be improved with flexible programs with digital tools. The specific research question is: Is there a difference between the online exercise program and the onsite exercise program in terms of physical activity, balance, motivation, quality of life and mental health? The results are expected to give insights into how to increase physical activity using flexible programs with digital options and to maintain quality of life among the elderly. By giving the elderly population different options for being physically active and thereby empowering this group, this project contributes to creating a socially sustainable community in which elderly citizens are included.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test the effect of a technology-based intervention with an Adaptive Treatment Strategy (ATS) among youth living with HIV (YLWH) (18-29 years old). This piloted and protocolized intervention combines: (1) brief weekly sessions with a counselor via a video-chat platform (video-counseling) to discuss mental health (MH), substance use (SU), HIV care engagement, and other barriers to care; and (2) a mobile health application (app) to address barriers such as ART forgetfulness and social isolation. Individuals who are not virologically suppressed will be randomized to video-counseling+app or standard of care (SOC). Through this study, the investigators will be able to: Aim 1: Test the efficacy of video-counseling+app vs SOC on virologic suppression in YLWH.The investigators will compare HIV virologic suppression of those randomized to the intervention vs control arms at 16 weeks via an RCT. Aim 2: Assess the impact of video-counseling+app vs SOC on MH and SU in YLWH. The investigators will evaluate the MH and SU differences between the intervention vs control arms at 16 weeks via an RCT. Aim 3: Explore an ATS to individualize the intervention by assigning the: 1. virologic "non-responders" in the intervention arm to intensified video-counseling+app for 16 more weeks, 2. virologic "responders" in the intervention arm to continue only app use for 16 more weeks. Researchers will compare the characteristics of virologic responders and non-responders to the intervention, individualization of the intervention based on these variables, and linkage to MH and SU treatment services among those in need to see if delivery of care is enhanced and impact on virologic suppression.
The overall objectives of the study are to: 1. To assess the feasibility of delivering the Strathclyde Sleep Intervention to adolescents with co-morbid insomnia and mental health attending a mental health services The following feasibility benchmarks will be assessed: recruitment and retention, participant attendance, staff training, intervention fidelity and participant adherence. 2. To examine participant acceptability. The researchers will conduct qualitative interviews with the participants and delivery staff to examine the acceptability of the programme. 3. To investigate the preliminary effectiveness by assessing the following: sleep parameters, insomnia symptoms, Circadian phase preference (baseline only) and mental health symptoms. Data will be collected at baseline, post-intervention and 3 month follow-up.
Background- In developing countries like India, seeking mental health care is still a taboo, and a lot of stigma is attached to consulting a psychiatric specialist or a counselor. This problem magnifies during postpartum period characterized by depressive symptoms in mothers indicating persistent low mood and feeling of worthlessness with easy fatigability, poor appetite, and sleep deprivation which leads to lack of interest in daily activities including oral health care. Rationale- Many studies have evaluated the periodontal status during pregnancy and its consequences but only few studies have been conducted evaluating the periodontal status during the postpartum period. None of the study has evaluated the association of Mental health and periodontitis during postpartum period. Objectives-To assess the Association between Periodontal status and Mental health in Postpartum women Methods- Periodontal Status and Mental health status (by Mental Health Inventory) will be assessed in Women during postpartum period (6-8 weeks- 6 months after delivery). Expected outcomes- Study of periodontal status during postpartum period may contribute in elucidating this interrelationship and helps to design better prevention strategies for women's mental health.
The goal of the workplace intervention study 'An Integrated Approach to Health, Wellbeing, and Productivity at Work (ITASPA)' is to examine the effect of the Australian WorkHealth Improvement Network (WIN) program in a Danish context among blue-collar workers. The project is evaluated via its effect on: 1) Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD), 2) Functionality, 3) Psychosocial wellbeing, and 4) Safety culture. Based on identified work health challenges at the included workplace, a group of employees at each worksite will develop and implement their own health promoting activities. Remaining employees will participate in one screening questionnaire prior to the intervention followed by five health checks and interview based questionnaires. All intervention activities and health checks take place at the participants' workplace during paid working hours. In our study design, participants will be compared to themselves and their previous measurements. Furthermore, we will compare the worksites.
The overall aim of this observational study is to investigate how individual differences influence the effects of mindfulness meditation to uncover for whom mindfulness is beneficial and for whom it may be harmful. The first objective is to identify the mechanisms underlying the effects of mindfulness meditation on mental health. The second objective is to examine how three candidate factors, namely trauma symptoms, tendency to dissociate, and repetitive negative thinking, influence the effect of mindfulness meditation on mental health. Adults who enrolled for a Mindfulness-Based Intervention (MBI) at the participating sites (n=120 for each site) will be invited to participate. Before the start of the MBI, after half of the sessions, at the end of the MBI and at 3-months follow-up, participants will complete self-report questionnaires. The main outcomes are symptoms of anxiety and depression, quality of life, wellbeing, and adverse effects resulting from the MBI. A subset of participants will be invited for a semi-structured interview after the end of the intervention.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare outcomes between participants in the single-session psychotherapy for young kids (SPYKids) conditions and participants in the services as usual (SAU) condition. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the feasibility and acceptability of SPYKids compared to services as usual? - What are the changes in child mental health between the SPYKids group compared with the SAU group? Participants will - Fill out questionnaires at baseline, immediately post-program, approximately one month after the baseline assessment, and three months after the baseline assessment - Meet with a parent coach in a virtual 90-minute session to discuss coping strategies relevant to their identified concerns Researchers will compare participants in the SPYKids group with participants in the Services as Usual group to see if there are changes in child well-being, parent well-being, and parent self-efficacy.
Since the beginning of Covid-19, there has been an increase in the incidence of mental disorders and psychopathological symptoms, such as depression, anxiety and stress, among university students. Even with the end of social distancing, many students still have losses in emotional well-being, so psychotherapeutic interventions are important for the recovery and promotion of the mental health of this public. Interventions based on self-compassion have been associated with improving the mental health of different audiences, either by reducing psychopathological symptoms (such as anxiety) or improving positive constructs associated with mental health, such as hope and optimism. One way to administer interventions based on self-compassion is through mHealth technologies, which have been consolidating since the pandemic. Some studies sought to assess the benefits of self-compassion-based interventions administered in the mHealth format among university students suggest that they have acceptability and are effective regarding indicators of emotional well-being. However, in Brazil, there is still no digital intervention for the cultivation of self-compassion among university students, which could help to mitigate the deleterious effects of the pandemic on mental health. Considering this gap, an intervention based on self-compassion administered via a smartphone app called "Eu + Compassivo" was developed. The present study seeks to evaluate its efficacy in mental health indicators, both psychopathological symptoms and Positive Psychology constructs.
