Filter by:This study aims to investigate if the Connecting People (CP) Programme can be implemented by social care practitioners with high fidelity in community mental health teams (CMHTs) and improve the resourcefulness of social networks of people with mental health problems.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of the internet Attachment-based compassion Therapy (iABCT) to promote wellbeing and mental health for the general population. A feasibility open trial and single-arm study will be conducted with three measurement points: at baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the intervention (post-), and 3-month follow-up, where participants will be allocated to iABCT. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to explore the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Compassion-based Intervention (CBI) delivered over the internet in Spanish.
In this study, effectiveness of a group parenting intervention was assessed in a community setting, for its impact on child behaviour problems and parental mental health.
The goal of this study is to implement such an approach conceptualized by a community health worker (CHW) to pilot an innovative, multi-level intervention to address social and structural determinants that negatively influence MEH disparities for Latinas from low-income households. The proposed research integrates CHW navigation with group peer support. Both of these strategies have been shown to be culturally appropriate and effective for improving a variety of health outcomes with this population. Our transdisciplinary, community-engaged team will use a convergent parallel mixed method research design to assess the feasibility of the intervention and its impact on six domains of interest: 1) emotional support, 2) informational support, 3) depression, 4) social isolation, 5) empowerment, and 6) social determinants needs. To prepare for future extramural funding, the investigators will include development of an advocacy plan for multi-level social change impact.
A 3-arm randomised controlled trial will be conducted to compare the effectiveness of a new enhanced Child Friendly Space service package with the basic Child Friendly Space service implementation, and to a waitlist control condition, within the West Nile refugee response in Uganda.
This study evaluates whether a brief psychological intervention, known as a self-affirmation intervention which works by allowing one to recognise their own value, can improve well-being. This study also evaluates whether more of these interventions will lead to greater increases in well-being, and also measures self-esteem and anxiety to examine their potential involvement in the self-affirmation process. Participants are randomly assigned to either a self-affirmation intervention group, a 'booster' self-affirmation group whereby they receive the intervention twice, or a control group (no intervention). Participant's well-being, self-esteem and anxiety are assessed at baseline (before the intervention), 1 week, and 2 weeks after the intervention. It is hypothesised that those who undergo self-affirmation will have more improved levels of well-being than those who do not; those who undergo the self-affirmation twice will have the most improved levels of well-being. It is also hypothesised that self-esteem and state anxiety will be involved in the self-affirmation process and potentially mediate the effects of self-affirmation on well-being.
This study will conduct qualitative interviews with firefighters and EMTs/ paramedics across Arkansas. To address this aim, opt-in methods will be used to recruit a diverse group of firefighters and emergency medical technicians/paramedics from across Arkansas to participate in qualitative interviews, defined as focus groups and individual interviews. Through this work, this will generate the scientific foundation to develop a comprehensive, mental health service model that will motivate engagement in services by diverse first responders.
With funding from the Alberta Ministry of Labour (Grant #095244772), a program called POWERPLAY (www.powerplayatwork.com), designed to promote men's health at work, will be evaluated in workplaces in Alberta.
There is a growing concern about mental health problems of university students. Stress, anxiety, and depression are reported to be common in this population. For this reason, mindfulness training is becoming increasingly popular in university contexts. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) pretends to evaluate the efficacy of a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) to reduce levels of perceived stress and to improve the psychological well-being of university students. Besides, in response to the interest of young people for new technologies, this trial also pretends to explore the capacity of Virtual Reality (VR) to help adherence to the programme. This study protocol presents an RCT, involving the assessment time points of baseline, post-intervention and six-month follow-up. A total of 280 students of the University of Zaragoza or National Distance Education University (UNED), in Spain, will be randomized to joining a mindfulness condition, a mindfulness condition complemented by VR environments, or a relaxation condition (active control group). Perceived stress will be the main outcome and will be measured using the 10-item self-report Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Other well-being and academic functioning outcomes will also be assessed, as well as variables to explore the impact of VR. Multilevel mixed-effects models will be calculated to estimate the efficacy of the programme, and effect size estimations will be carried out. Effects of VR in adherence to the programme will be evaluated. Some strengths of this study are the RCT study design, which includes a suitable active control group and a 6-month follow up measurement, the large sample size of university students at different stages and degrees, and the incorporation of the VR support to facilitate completion to the programme with the possibility of differential analyses. Potential limitations of this study are the voluntary participation of the students, and the utilization of self-report measures exclusively.
