Filter by:In this study the investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of Mindhelper.dk, which is the most comprehensive online youth mental health promotion service in Denmark. A minimum of 9,426 young people aged 15 to 25 will be recruited through social media and invited to participate in the study. When responding to the baseline questionnaire participants will be randomized to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive information about Mindhelper.dk and inspiration on how to use Mindhelper through text-messages during the study period. The control group does not receive information about Mindhelper.dk, until after completion of the last follow-up questionnaire. Three follow-up questionnaires will then be sent to the participants 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 12 weeks after randomization. The investigators expect a small, positive effect on participants well-being and psychological functioning in intervention groups as compared to the control group.
The pilot study on the impact of a Psychiatric Consultation-Liaison Intervention in Primary Care Medical Consultations in French-speaking Switzerland (PLIMeC-P), is a mixed method randomized controlled trial. The investigated health-related intervention is a brief Consultation-Liaison (CL) psychiatry intervention in primary care. Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) have a key role in preventing, detecting, and managing mental disorders. Therefore, the optimization of both the quality of their interventions and their cooperation with psychiatric and psychological care networks are important challenges. It is well demonstrated that multidisciplinary interventions improve the efficacy of mental health care, CL psychiatry being one such type of intervention. Therefore, community CL-psychiatry, for example in private primary care group practices, are rare. The impact of such community, primary care CL-psychiatry interventions, should be investigated. The mixed methods randomized controlled trial PLIMeC study will examine the impact of a CL-psychiatric intervention in primary care settings, for newly reported mental illness, versus a Treatment As Usual (TAU) control arm. The intervention consists of a CL-psychiatric intervention into private medical practices, provided to patients suffering from mental health problems, a group of patients generally under-treated. The CL-psychiatrist will receive and discuss PCPs' referrals for patients with mental distress, who don't have a psychiatric follow-up. After a brief intervention (1-4 sessions), feedback conjoint (PCP-psychiatrist) session will be organized, to complete the intervention and provide proposals. The pilot study (PLIMeC-P) will determine whether the main planned study (PLIMeC) is feasible and practicable. It will be conducted on two sites, the Neuchâtel Psychiatry Centre (CNP) and the North-west Adult Psychiatry Service (SPANO), Department of Psychiatry of CHUV, Yverdon. For the pilot study (PLIMeC-P), 15 eligible participants are expected for each group, 30 participants in total. They will be recruited in three private primary care group practices. After eligibility and randomization 15 participants will be included for the intervention arm (brief CL-psychiatric intervention) and 15 for the control arm (TAU). The expected number of participants for the main trial (PLIMeC) will be estimated through analysis of the initial results of the PLIMeC-P.
Mental health art exhibitions, as an intervention strategy integrating artistic expression and social contact, have the potential to positively impact the elimination of stigma and discrimination associated with mental health problems. This study will utilize a real-world quasi-randomized controlled trial design and a 6-month follow-up questionnaire survey to evaluate the intervention's impact on stigma/discrimination and related outcomes, such as mental health literacy. The evaluation will encompass four categories of people: those with lived experience of mental disorders, family members and friends of those with lived experience, health professionals, and the general public. Additionally, the cost-effectiveness of the art exhibition intervention will be analyzed.
Postpartum depression is a serious concern affecting mothers and their infants, especially with limited traditional support. This pilot study evaluates the effectiveness of a novel mobile app called LoVE4MUM, developed based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychoeducation principles, in preventing postpartum depression. The pilot trial involves 64 mothers randomly assigned to receive either standard care or standard care plus the LoVE4MUM. Primary outcome is improvement in depression, with secondary outcomes including mental health literacy and automatic negative thoughts. This research aims to provide initial evidence on the potential of mobile health tools to support maternal mental health, paving the way for future accessible and effective interventions.

The presence of high mental symptoms among nursing students in Turkey highlights the need to develop various support strategies in nursing education to preserve and ensure the continuity of the nursing workforce. This study aims to compare the effects of brief cognitive-behavioral group psychotherapy and laughter yoga on mental symptoms in nursing students with mental symptoms.
Mental health is a state of well-being in which a person can realize his/her potential, cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and contribute to his/her community. It refers to a continuum that extends from the promotion of well-being and the prevention of mental disorders to the treatment and rehabilitation of people suffering from these disorders. Healthcare professionals face major mental health challenges, due to the demands of their profession, which is characterized by heavy workloads and confrontation with human distress. The frequency of mental health problems among hospital staff is high, at all stages (malaise, distress, pathologies). A meta-analysis found that caregivers suffer from around 30% anxiety, 30% depression, 30% psychotrauma and 45% sleep disorders. According to the French Labor Code, employers are responsible for the physical and mental health of their employees. The Hospices Civils de Lyon establishment project includes a section on the prevention of psycho-social risks, quality of working life and management. Healthcare professionals, like the general population, have high expectations of non-medication treatments. These non-medication interventions aim to prevent, treat, or cure a health problem. They are non-invasive and non-pharmacological, with certain observable impacts supported by scientific evidence. Mindfulness meditation is one of the most extensively studied non-medication interventions in mental health. Declined in different modalities, its effects focus on improving resilience with efficacy on physical and mental well-being (stress, anxiety, burnout, affect), and their physiological corollary (cardiac and respiratory rhythms), acceptance of reality in stressful situations, reduced interpersonal conflict in emergencies and, more broadly, impact on relational behaviours (anti- and pro-social), teamwork. Managers also benefit, with a strengthening of the aspiration to lead, in a vision fully at the disposal of others. Mindfulness meditation appears to be a practice that promotes mental well-being and could contribute to fulfilment at work. The challenge is to offer a mindfulness meditation program in a hospital department for individual and collective benefit. The main objective is to evaluate the evolution of psychological fulfilment in the workplace of hospital healthcare professionals in a 5-month meditation program between the baseline and the end of the program, in comparison with the evolution over the same period of a control group. The expected outcome is to show that it is possible to implement a mindfulness meditation intervention for hospital staff in care departments, whatever their status or profession, with individual and collective benefits for mental health, psycho-social risks (stress, violence, etc.) and work organization. If it proves to be effective and acceptable, this intervention could be offered more widely within the institution and beyond.
The overall aim of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of two school-based programs that have the potential to promote adolescent sleep and prevent future depressive symptoms. The programs will be offered to students aged 13-19 at Swedish high schools and upper secondary schools at the classroom level. The students will be compared to teaching as usual (control group).
