Filter by: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.
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 study seeks to determine current practices and perspectives of contraceptive advice of both service users and professionals. It aims to examine 1) the experiences of female service users of reproductive potential with mental health conditions of contraceptive advice from mental health professionals and 2) the current practice of providing contraceptive advice by mental health professionals.
The observational study will conduct interprofessional assessments by registered nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists of health determinants (i.e., frailty, physical, cognitive, and sensory function, mental and social health, and alcohol use) in older adults (≥75) living at home and applying for a municipal health service. The participants will take part in two assessments, baseline and 5 months. Based on the baseline assessment healthcare professionals will identify factors that can affect older adults' health, provide tailored information, offer measures, and link with proper health services. The aim is that older adults maintain health, function, and self-care and thus can continue aging at home. The main research question is:) How can interprofessional assessments of older adults living at home reduce the risk of impaired function, maintain health and ensure that the elderly receive tailored services?
This project addresses the disproportionate morbidity and mortality associated with mental and behavioral health problems in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Access to culturally competent and effective behavioral health services is limited in many of these communities. The investigators aim to address this gap by testing the effectiveness of a trans-diagnostic secondary prevention program, Family Spirit Strengths (FSS) that can be embedded within home visiting services. The FSS program is a skills-based program that incorporates elements of evidence-based practice, the Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA), and materials informed and developed based on an Indigenous advisory group. The FSS program aims to help participants build self-efficacy and coping skills, as well as build stronger connections to others, the participants' community, and cultural resources. The investigators will use a randomized controlled trial, whereby half of the participants will receive FSS and the other half will receive an evidence-based nutrition education program. The investigators' study is grounded in participatory processes and led by a team of Indigenous and allied researchers.
This exploratory study brings together an interprofessional team, novel tools, and innovative, community-driven care delivery approaches to improve health equity among mother-infant dyads impacted by substance use disorder and high risk for poor health outcomes. This study will test a community-informed and community-based intervention using a fetal ultrasound protocol, motivational interviewing techniques, strength-based education, and healthcare coordination strategies to reduce health disparities faced by women and their children.
The goal of this randomized control trial (RCT) is to assess the superiority of the How-to Parenting Program in improving autonomy support and preschoolers' mental health (i.e., decreases externalizing problems) among vulnerable families. The main question it aims to answer is: Can teaching concrete parenting skills that target empirically-based parenting dimensions (via the How-to Parenting Program) have an added value for improving parental autonomy support and child mental health, compared to a parenting program that does not focus on teaching parenting skills (Nobody's Perfect program [NP])? Early childhood centers providing services to parents of 3-4 years olds will be randomly assigned to one of two 6-week programs. Parents will fill out questionnaires before (T1) and after (T2) programs delivery as well as at 6-month (T3) and 1-year follow-ups (T4). They and their child will also engage in filmed parent-child interactions at T1 and T3 during predetermined activities, to obtain observational measures of parenting and child socioemotional competences. Researchers will compare the How-to and NP conditions to see if there was an accentuated increase in parental autonomy support and child mental health in the How-to condition. As secondary analyses, researchers will compare the How-to and NP conditions on parenting quality, child socioemotional competences, and parental cognitions as well as explore the conditions in which NP could be equal (or superior) to the How-to Parenting Program.
Collaboration between family members and mechanically ventilated (MV) patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is essential for improving patients' hospitalization experiences and outcomes. However, numerous hospitals have reduced the visiting time and frequency in ICUs due to the global spread of SARS-CoV-2 in recent years, aggravating mental problems and reducing the satisfaction of ICU patients and their families. Therefore, we propose an effective intervention strategy to enhance patient-family bonding and improve patient mental health and ICU experience by constructing a remote cross-platform virtual reality collaboration system (VRCS) for connecting family members at home with patients in the ICU. We aim to assess the effects of VRCS on the mental health of ICU patients.
Participation in endurance sports has been increasing over the last few decades and our aim of our exploratory descriptive survey study is therefore to examine mental health issues in endurance athletes (marathon runners, ultra endurance runners, triathletes), employing the IOC assessment tool, to provide information on mental health issues in this population. Secondary objects are to evaluate risk factors for mental health issues in endurance athletes (like exercise behaviour, competition behaviour, age, gender, medical issues)
