Filter by:A prospective cohort study design will be implemented across four sectors and multiple organizations sites to evaluate implementation and impact of the apps. Pre/post impact data will be collected over a six-month implementation period to assess whether the apps lead to increased Public Safety Personnel outreach to peer support (primary outcome), and to increased mental health literacy, and decreased mental distress (secondary outcomes). Recruitment will take place at three levels; 1) organizations (including knowledge users/organization champions), 2) peer support providers, and 3) public safety personnel employed within each participating organization. Sources of implementation and impact data for the six-month trial will include: 1) app utilization data, 2) knowledge user/organization champion interviews, 3) surveys with public safety personnel, 4) focus groups with peer support providers, and 5) implementation costs. Analysis will focus on both implementation and effectiveness to address the research questions related to the impact of the apps, as well as how the process and context of implementation shapes effectiveness.
This study aims to assess what benefit, if any, an individualized coping plan and facilitating connections to care through referral coordination in conjunction with culturally tailored caring messages, (herein called the +Connection is Medicine intervention (Navajo Nation study name; +CiM)/The Healing Spirits Program (White Mountain Apache Tribe Study Name; HSP) have on the mental health of American Indian (AI) youth and caregivers who were previously identified as having high levels of anxiety and depression as part of their participation in a cohort study called Project SafeSchools (NIH Grant No.: OT2HD107543).
STEP-COVID (Supporting the Transition to and Engagement in Parenthood during the COVID-19 pandemic) is a manualized group intervention for pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic designed to foster emotion regulation and reflective capacities in participants.
Our aim is to find low-cost and widely reusable mechanisms to reduce inappropriate referrals. Our key objectives are: Engage with key stakeholders to identify problems with making appropriate referrals Analyse CAMHS referral data to understand and identify problems (quantitatively) Identify requirements for sustainable solutions Explore with key stakeholders how we can improve the referral process Identify how the best proposed solutions could be embedded within routine CAMHS referral pathways
Does a group programme already delivered in routine practice to patients who share a diagnosis from the same medical speciality (i.e. specific-diagnosis) show equal effectiveness when modified for patients with diagnoses from a range of medical specialities (i.e. mixed-diagnosis)? A large number of people live with a long-term condition (LTC) and the burden of living with a LTC is recognised on a societal and individual level. Links between LTCs and poorer mental health increase demand on psychological services. Consequently new initiatives try to reduce waiting times and increase the capacity of these services. Group programmes use resources efficiently and have been applied across a range of medical specialities. A clinical health psychology service has adopted a group programme based on a well evidenced psychological therapeutic approach called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), for patients with dermatology conditions showing promising outcomes. However, the investigators want to compare whether similar outcomes can be achieved with patients from a range of specialities. The investigators conducted quantitative and qualitative research to answer the research questions a) Does an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group intervention for specific-diagnosis groups suggest similar effectiveness in health-related quality of life, illness beliefs and psychological distress versus mixed-diagnosis groups? b) Is there a difference in feasibility and acceptability of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention between specific-diagnosis groups versus mixed-diagnosis groups? c) What are health professionals' views on the acceptability and feasibility of specific-diagnosis versus mixed-diagnosis groups and their experiences of working with patients who have attended such groups? Participants were recruited from the Clinical Health Psychology waiting list at a UK NHS Trust. Participants attended 7, two-hour weekly sessions and an 8 week follow-up 'reunion', and completed health related quality of life, illness perceptions, depression and anxiety questionnaires pre and post intervention. Patient participants and health professional participants (facilitators and referrers) were invited to attend focus groups to discuss their views and experiences.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the online stepped-care mental well-being system together with offline programs in comparison to care as usual. This study will provide important findings for future health economic analyses of blended stepped-care mental well-being interventions which may increase public's access to mental well-being services and ease the long waiting time under the current public healthcare system. It is hypothesized that participants in the intervention group show (H1) greater reduction in depressive and anxiety symptoms, (H2) better improvement of well-being, (H3) better improvement of quality of life, and (H4) lower incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), compared to care as usual.
Tai Chi is a kind of traditional martial arts in China, which has a remarkable function in healthcare. It has been used in many diseases as a complementary theory. The Chinese government attaches much importance to university students' physical and psychological health. However, there is an indisputable fact that the health condition of university students is declining, according to the report of the education ministry of China 2021. Tai Chi is a solid supplement to physical education and how to improve the physical health of university students through Tai Chi is the key to university physical education. This experimental research examines the effectiveness and the differences of two types of Chen Taichi training methods on the physical and psychological health of college students in China. Finally, to evaluate if the Chen Taichi with developed guidelines can improve the college students' physical and psychological health.
The overall objectives of this proposal are to support positive coping strategies that bolster mental health and lead to improved HIV outcomes among Young People Living with HIV (YPLWH). The central hypothesis is that SYV (Sauti ya Vijana, The Voice of Youth) will be effective to improve antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and virologic suppression in YPLWH in Tanzania. The rationale for this project is that by targeting mental health, which is strongly associated with medication adherence, that this will effectively improve adherence and thereby HIV viral suppression. The central hypothesis will be tested in three aims in a hybrid type-1 effectiveness-implementation trial.
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.
Previous research documented that real-time feedback on attention as well as related forms of mental training (e.g. mindfulness meditation) may be used to train and impact external attentional control. These approaches to mental training are designed to train meta-awareness in order to enable attentional control. It is not yet known, however, whether such training targeting meta-awareness can be similarly used to impact internal attentional control. Thus, the investigators will test whether real-time feedback training and a brief mindfulness meditation training, relative to placebo control, will lead to greater internal attentional control among adults with elevated negative repetitive thinking.
