Filter by:The proposed study is designed to test and optimize the Messy Memories mobile application as an intervention. The Messy Memories mobile intervention is designed to target stress-related problems based on practices with proven effectiveness. By utilizing a mobile application intervention, this study aims to overcome barriers and provide access to evidence-informed intervention strategies that will likely improve mental health in frontline healthcare workers.
This goal of this randomized control trial is to test whether a web application that provides sexual and gender minority youth ages 13-19 (N=200) with tools for affirming their identities and coping with minority stress can affect key psychosocial outcomes, such as coping self-efficacy and symptoms of anxiety and depression.
The activities described in this proposal are aimed at addressing health care provider stress and unconscious bias to improve quality of maternal health care, particularly related to the person-centered dimensions of care-i.e. care that is respectful and responsive to women's needs, preferences, and values. The investigators focus on health provider stress and unconscious bias because they are key drivers of poor-quality care that are often not addressed in interventions designed to improve quality of maternal health care. The investigators plan to (1) design an intervention that enables providers to identify and manage their stress and unconscious bias; (2) pilot the intervention to assess its feasibility and acceptability; and (3) assess preliminary effect of the intervention on: (a) provider knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to stress and unconscious bias; and (b) provider stress levels.
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a web-based self-help intervention promoting mental health in adolescents. We will examine whether this intervention improves positive affect, reduces stress and alleviates negative affect and depressive symptoms in adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. We will also investigate the rates of adherence among the adolescents who use this web-based intervention and the acceptability of the intervention with adolescents.
This study will be carried out in a pre-test-post-test, randomized controlled (parallel), experimental order in order to examine the effect of the MIND-BE program applied to intensive care nurses on mental health parameters. The hypothesis of this study is that MIND-BE program increases resilience, posttraumatic growth, mindfulness, self-compassion levels, and reduces mental symptoms.
Assessing and comparing the life and health status of transgender or trans women in French Guiana and Paris. Conducting a questionnaire on physical, mental and sexual health, migration history, transition, and STI screening.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that approximately 15% of adults aged 60 and above suffer from some form of mental disorder, with one of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders being depression. Similar trends are seen in Singapore where 11.4% of the older adults aged 65 and above had depressive symptoms. Another population survey conducted among elderly in Singapore showed that elderly with subsyndromal depression (SSD) were similar to or worse than elderly with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). However being a multi-ethnic Asia society the mental conditions such as depression and anxiety are seen as taboo topics to be discussed more so to seek help or treatment for these conditions in Singapore. Additionally scarcity of trained psychiatrists and work load of these trained professionals in the acute care settings make it difficult to reach these needy older adults. Hence, it is imperative to support the needs of this group of community dwelling older adults to ensure that their emotional wellbeing, and their condition do not progress to MDD. As such, this is the first of its kind study that will evaluate the effectiveness of solution focused brief therapy delivered by the lay mindfulness practitioner and the nurses. If the pilot intervention is found to be feasible and effective, the large scale community trial will be planned to reach to more elderly in Singapore to help them age in a dignified way. In addition, other countries that do not involve lay mindfulness practitioners and nurses to provide integrated personal therapy in the community may benefit from this study as well.
There is considerable need for psychological intervention targeting stressor-related mental health symptoms related to COVID-19. The investigators have developed an online self-directed transdiagnostic intervention to address this need called RESTORE: Recovering from Extreme Stressors Through Online Resources and E-health. The specific aims of this project are to refine and investigate the feasibility, initial safety, and efficacy of RESTORE for addressing mental health symptoms in first responders, health care workers (HCW), and Canadian Armed Forces members exposed to COVID-19-related traumatic or extreme stressors.
Aim:This study aimed to evaluate the effects of music listening, laughter therapy, and diary keeping, given as group sessions to pregnant women in the last trimester on mothers' overall mental health and maternal attachment status in the postpartum period. Method: The study was a nonrandomized study including a control group for which the post-test procedure was performed alone. The measurements were also repeated at intervals for those in the intervention group. The study was conducted in two separate family health centers.The women with the following constituted the study inclusion criteria: Pregnant women over the age of 18, those with pregnancy between 16-24 weeks of gestation, and those with literacy in Turkish. The data were collected through Beck Depression Inventory, Edinburg Postpartum Depression Scale, Brief Symptom Inventory, and the Maternal Attachment Scale to comprehensively evaluate mental health status. All participants responded to the personal information form prepared for the study. Keywords:Antenatal care, depression, diary, laughter therapy, maternal attachment, music listening
"Stop sexual harassment" is a school based intervention tailored to reduce sexual- and gendered harassment among pupils in secondary school. The first aim of this study is to test to what extent "Stop sexual harassment" reduces sexual harassment and harassment based on sexual orientation and gender expression (gendered harassment) among 8th to 10th grade pupils in secondary school. The second aim of the study is to test to what extent the intervention increases teachers' responses to sexual- and gendered harassment among pupils. The intervention consists of eight lessons which address the prevention of sexual- and gendered harassment. METHOD: A minimum 32 schools with at least 3840 pupils will participate in a cluster randomized controlled trial. Participating schools will be randomly assigned to intervention schools and control schools. At the intervention schools, teachers will be introduced to "Stop sexual harassment" through a digital course which will provide them with a manual containing eight lessons to be held for the pupils. At the control schools there will not be any intervention. The effects of the intervention on pupils will be determined by assessing their experiences with sexual and gendered harassment, and internalized and externalized problems prior to the intervention (T1), shortly after the intervention (T2) and six moths after the intervention (T3). The effects of the intervention on teachers will be determined by assessing the teachers' experiences of responding to sexual and gendered harassment among pupils. HYPOTHESIS: It is expected that the intervention "Stop sexual harassment" will lead to reduced sexual and gendered harassment perpetration and victimization, and less internalized and externalized problems among the pupils in secondary school, and that teachers will more frequently take action when sexual- and gendered harassment is encountered among the pupils.
