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.
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.
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.
In the US, the over 11 million Americans currently providing unpaid care to a family member, relative, or friend with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia (ADRD) are over 6 times more likely than the general population to suffer from depression (33.9% vs. 5%), and nearly 60% rate their emotional distress as high or very high. The purpose of this Phase II research is to continue the successful work of the pilot development and testing by conducting a rigorous scientific study of the effects of Compass for Care, a digital program that customizes behavior change guidance for using five self-care behaviors critical to ADRD caregiver well-being: 1) taking time to recharge; 2) finding information about your loved one's diagnosis and needs; 3) discovering your strengths and limits; 4) exploring outside help; and 5) seeking emotional support.
US residents who have obesity and sign the informed consent form and are screened and enrolled for this study. Participants who are enrolled complete a survey upon enrollment and are randomized into one of two arms. This study is direct to participant and will not utilize clinical sites.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a 6-month pilot randomized trial to determine the feasibility and acceptability of theory-based mobile weight loss interventions for survivors of adolescent and young adult cancer (AYAs). The interventions use a mobile smartphone application, previously developed for individuals at risk for type 2 diabetes and adapted for AYAs, that integrates weight and physical activity from digital devices with simplified dietary monitoring in a behavioral weight loss program.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the impact of the Communities Organizing for Power through Empathy (COPE) intervention in adults in communities having recently experienced or at risk of experiencing disaster. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does the COPE intervention affect individual mental health? - How does the COPE intervention affect protective factors like coping and social support? - How does the COPE intervention affect community resilience? - How does delivery of the COPE intervention in partnership with a broad-based organization affect participant recruitment and retention, as well as outcomes? Participants will participate in the three session COPE intervention. Researchers will compare individuals who participate in the COPE intervention to individuals who participate in house meetings to see if the COPE intervention improves mental health, coping, social support and community resilience. Researchers will also examine factors that affect implementation and intervention delivery.
Clinical experience has shown that adolescents have great difficulties in getting to mental health care centers. The investigators want to find a specific way to follow up with the adolescent public. This study sets up a digital mental health application offering a tele-consultation space, a chat space with mental health professionals, a forum space, a news and therapeutic education space. The objective of the study is to evaluate the acceptance of the digital tool by the adolescent between 11 and 18 years old. To do this, the investigators determine the number of connections to the tool during the 6 months of support.
