Filter by:Since the beginning of the pandemic, several authors (Lee, 2020; Sahu, 2020; Zhai & Du, 2020) have highlighted the various challenges faced by university students, as well as their negative effects on their mental health. A deterioration in their mental health was observed, particularly during lockdown, with very high levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms (Essadek & Rabeyron, 2020; Husky et al., 2020; Le Vigouroux et al., 2021; Odriozola-González et al., 2020). In addition, COVID-19 has brought about a digital revolution in higher education (Strielkowski, 2020). However, distance learning was not without consequences on student stress (IAU, 2020). The detrimental effects of distance education, in terms of stress and anxiety, could also have important consequences for students' learning and academic success. Our research proposes to evaluate effects of an intervention focused on stress and learning on mental health and learning strategies. This intervention will be proposed to students from University of Nimes. Its primary objective is to prevent psychological health alterations and to improve students' learning strategies. Three groups will be constituted: a group that will participate in an online program (online group), a group will participate in a hybrid program, i.e. with online content and face-to-face support (hybrid group) and a group that will not be receiving any interventions (control group). The investigators plan to include between 150 and 200 university students, between 40 and 70 in each group. The levels of mental health and learning strategies of the two experimental group (online and hybrid group) will be compared to a control group with the realization of pre and post intervention measures. Sociodemographic (e.g., level education) and situational variables (e.g., diagnostic of COVID-19) will be considered in the analyses.
In the last decade, research on social media and mental health has produced mixed results. Overall, the current findings suggest that the negative effects on mental health are exacerbated by longer and more frequent social media usage, whereas the positive effects are bolstered when social media is used to connect with other people. With the largest number of global users, Facebook is the most frequently studied social media network. Over the past few years, the increasing concerns about the risks associated with Facebook have even translated to wider pop culture conversations, as exemplified by the 2020 documentary The Social Dilemma. In response, Facebook has rolled out a series of features supposed to mitigate these risks and encourage responsible social media usage. These features include activity trackers and reminders, unfollow and snooze buttons, and data sharing regulators. Currently, there is no research done to address whether (1) these features are used at all, and (2) whether they are successful in moderating the negative mental health consequences of Facebook usage. This study seeks to address the gap in literature through a survey done on the crowdsourcing platform Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk).
This study is the second study of a larger project and will begin the process of testing and the development of an integrated intervention on a series of case studies. The combined intervention provides psychological therapy and debt advice in tandem. The treatment pathway is based on interviews and focus groups with service users and staff and the themes that emerged. It will be trialled in the NHS' Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service. Participants routinely accessing this service who have debt issues affecting their mental health will be asked if they'd like to also take up support for their money worries, which will be provided by Citizen's Advice (CA). Researchers will take exit interviews with both service users and staff at the end of the treatment to develop the protocol further. Researchers will also assess measures of mental health and wellbeing that are routinely taken by IAPT to review the intervention.
The purpose of the CROP study is to investigate the potential to cultivate psychological resources and resilience in childhood cancer patients and their family members using a mobile phone-based intervention. The feasibility study aims to evaluate the implementation and participant experience of the digital intervention and register psychological outcome measures preliminary evidence for its acceptability, feasibility, and potential beneficial effects.
Comparing the effectivity of an EFST parent supervision intervention against Treatment As Usual in an outpatient specialist health care clinics Family unit.
The 3D-Transition study is a follow-up of the 3D Cohort pregnancy study (NCT03113331, which covered from the 1st trimester of pregnancy to age 2 years) as the children transition into kindergarten and first grade. It aims at clarifying prenatal and preschool predictors of challenging and successful transitions to school as measured by mental health and academic outcomes.
STEP (Supporting the Transition to and Engagement in Parenthood) is a manualized group intervention for pregnant women exposed to early life adversity designed to foster emotion regulation and reflective capacities in participants.
This is an individually randomised trial, where Working Out Dads (WOD) will be delivered as a group intervention. Participants will be randomised to one of two groups: either WOD or usual care.The trial aims to test the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of WOD, a 6-week week group-based peer support intervention, in reducing fathers' mental health difficulties in early parenthood.
The primary aim of this study was to determine whether an 8-week mindfulness-based intervention, called Training for Mindfulness and Resilience (TMR), mitigates moderate mental health symptoms and increases resilience during a 2-year follow-up. Methods The participants were 34 schoolchildren in age range of 9-14 years, reporting moderate mental health problems. Participants were randomised into either TMR intervention group (N=22) or control group, receiving best current practice (N=12). The investigators used validated self-rating questionnaires to measure anxiety, depression, anger, disruptive behaviour, self-concept, resilience, stress and mindfulness before treatment with either TMR or control, as well as at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after treatment period.
This study will investigate the impact of a brief telephone follow-up following a mental health assessment in the emergency department. The purpose of the telephone call will be to provide psycho-education, clarify any questions and reinforce discharge planning.
