Filter by:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can significantly impact a person's quality of life, not only physically but also mentally. This cross-sectional study aims to assess the psychological well-being of COPD patients by utilising specific questionnaires. These questionnaires will evaluate various aspects of mental health, including anxiety, depression, and potentially other relevant factors like self-compassion or fear of negative evaluation, self-efficacy, shame, and guilt. Additionally, the study will examine how these psychological factors relate to the severity of COPD symptoms, such as dyspnea and functional limitations. By understanding the psychological impact of COPD, this research hopes to emphasize the importance of medical education and mental health support in COPD management strategies.
This study is a randomized clinical trial design. The research subjects were the internship nursing students in the nursing department of a nursing school in the northern Taiwan. The experimental group received mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention, while the control group received routine care with weekly line care messages from class instructors. Both groups took the post-test before the internship (T0), during the internship (T1), after the internship (T2), and one month after the internship (T3), a total of 4 times. The contents include psychological well-being scale; anxiety, depression, stress scale and mental scale.
The investigator will evaluate the efficacy of M3©, an intervention for patients with JIA and their caregivers. Children with Juvenile arthritis and their parents will attend an 8 week online program called Making Mindfulness Matter (M3). This is a facilitator-led program that integrates knowledge and skills related to mindfulness, social-emotional learning, neuroscience, and positive psychology to promote coping and resiliency for children and families in context of the challenges of pediatric chronic disease. The child program is designed for children 4-12 years of age, with each lesson including a variety of concrete ways to teach children skills based on their age/developmental level.
This proposal responds to NIMH Objective 4.2.c to develop "decision-support tools and technologies that increase the effectiveness and continuous improvement of mental health interventions" by leveraging the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) policy opportunity. First, a web-based platform to host (a) a decision-support tool and (b) automated facilitation for group decisions with the tool will be developed with state partners' feedback. Next, decision makers leading their states' FFPSA quality improvement efforts will be engaged to pilot a decision-support intervention comprised of the tool and live or automated facilitation, and to evaluate the implementation quality of evidence-based programs adopted with the decision-support intervention.
The primary purpose of this investigation is to examine the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) exercise (Supernatural exergaming via Meta Platforms Technologies, LLC) for improving mental health as indicated by (1) both short-term mood (one exercise bout) and long-term (10-weeks) mood (depression and anxiety symptoms), (2) well-being (i.e., vitality) over a 10-week period, and (3) perceived cognitive function over a 10-week period. The secondary purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of VR exercise for improving both physical activity behaviour and physical activity motivation (attitudes, capability, opportunity, behavioural regulation, habit, identity) over a 10-week period. The tertiary purpose is to examine whether key motivational variables (e.g., attitudes, capability, opportunity, behavioural regulation, habit, identity) regarding Supernatural use explain variability in Supernatural use over time.
The investigators define the Invisible Preparation (IP) as the set of health behaviors that young athletes implement, on their own, to optimize their health and performances. This includes sleep, nutrition and hydration, physical well-being (injuries prevention) and mental well-being. If some studies have reported a lack of compliance in young athletes regarding sleep and hydration recommendations, the literature is poor in this field. The CMS (Brest Metropolitan Area Sports Medicine Centre, France) aims at preserving the health of young athletes. Prior to their medical examination, the patients will be asked, all along the year 2024, to fill out a form that question them about their health behaviors in the four areas of the IP. Under the direction of the Brest University Hospital, PRICELESS (Invisible Preparation of Middle and High School Students in Sports Institutions) study will try, based on their answers, to estimate the proportion of young athletes who declare adopting the health behaviors recommended in the IP.
Regular physical activity (PA) promotes benefits for both physical and mental health. Among the numerous PA's with a collective nature that can add to the existing recommendations, combat sports training interventions are viable alternatives since they integrate benefits in different aspects for health. In this way, capoeira can be a strategy for the prescription of exercise, aiming to serve participants collectively and maintaining the adherence of this practitioner to the intervention. However, little is known about this issue. So, the aim of the present study is to verify the effect of 12 weeks of capoeira training on the physical performance and psychological aspects of previously physically inactive adults.
The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot test a psychosocial-behavioral mobile health (mHealth) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention intervention in people who use drugs presenting to the emergency department (ED). The main question the study aims to answer is: is the intervention acceptable and appropriate? Participants will use the mHealth app while waiting in the ED and also at home for 90 days. Participants will be asked to complete surveys at baseline, before leaving the ED, and at 30-, 60-, and 90-day follow up visits.
This study aims to assess the efficacy of social media-based electronic bibliotherapy in improving the well-being of informal caregivers of people with dementia compared to a control group.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of the culturally adapted skills-training START NOW in youth migrant populations. The main question it aims to answer is: Is the culturally adapted skills training START NOW more effective than treatment as usual (TAU) in reducing mental health problems in migrants? Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention group receiving the skills training START NOW Adapted or the control group receiving TAU. Researchers will compare both groups to see if START NOW Adapted is more effective than TAU in reducing mental health problems in migrants.
