NCT ID: NCT05726539 Not yet recruiting - Military Family Clinical Trials

The Military Spouse Resiliency Group (MSRG) Peer Support Program: Equipping Families For Resiliency With Tools

(EFFRT)
Start date: February 5, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will adapt and test an established peer support program for military spouses that offers them significant weekly group-based support on an array of topics that affect their lives. The curriculum will be able to be used in-person through group meetings or virtually by using a web-based meeting platform. The near-term impact of this study is that scientific knowledge will be developed about how well a curriculum-based, weekly, in-person support group for military spouses is effective in improving spouses' quality of life, mental health, social support and knowledge of health conditions impacting service members. This study will assess whether offering military spouses support for coping with their mental health and social support needs to achieve a greater quality of life, a greater sense of social support and knowledge about and access to resources to address a range of issues they may be facing throughout their spouses' military careers. By educating them about the health conditions their service members may experience and how to support their recovery and access to treatment, service members will also benefit by having more familial support for seeking treatment. Educating family members about the injuries that SMs face will help to maintain stronger family relationships and reduce family relationship stress.

NCT ID: NCT05619185 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Alcohol Use Disorder

A SMART Evaluation of an Adaptive Web-based AUD Treatment for Service Members and Their Partners

Start date: January 9, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an adaptive web intervention (Partners Connect) on military spouse drinking behaviors (CPs) and service member help-seeking (SMs). The investigators want to identify for whom this intervention is most efficacious and on what drinking behaviors and mechanisms. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will reduce concerned partner drinking and increase service member help-seeking, compared to website resources, and that phone-based CRAFT will increase help-seeking behaviors, compared to those who are guided via a CRAFT workbook.

NCT ID: NCT05414708 Recruiting - PTSD Clinical Trials

Art Therapy and Emotional Well Being in Military Populations With Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms

Start date: February 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Art therapy is used across the Military Health System for treatment of posttraumatic symptoms, but there is limited research on how art therapy is able to restore emotional expression and regulation in service members. This research hopes to learn about the effects of art therapy on emotional expression and regulation in service members as well as the neurological systems at work. If a participant chooses to be in this study, he or she will attend ten sessions over a period of twelve weeks. The first session will be an interview and self-assessment questionnaires to collect information on a variety of symptoms, experiences, and personality traits, and an MRI scan. During the MRI scan, participants will be asked to perform a task where they will be shown a series of neutral and negative images. The middle eight sessions will be one-hour art therapy sessions with a certified art therapist. The last session will consist of the same self-assessment questionnaires and another MRI scan.

NCT ID: NCT04776304 Completed - PTSD Clinical Trials

Art Therapy qEEG Study for Service Members With a Traumatic Brain Injury and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms

ArtTherapy
Start date: October 30, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Service members and/or recently separated veterans with post traumatic stress symptoms and mild traumatic brain injury may participate in 8 sessions including 2 sessions including interviews and questionnaires as well as 6 sessions of art therapy. In the art therapy, participants will be provided with a blank paper mache mask template and invited to alter the mask however they wish using a variety of art materials. The therapist will use the art-making process and culminating product to aid in self-reflection, reframe negative thoughts and feelings, and work through traumatic content. Prior to the session start participants will get set up with a mobile qEEG (worn like a hat and backpack). The qEEG will measure brain activity in a non-invasive way throughout the art therapy session to improve understanding of brain activity during the art therapy process.

NCT ID: NCT04180293 Completed - Clinical trials for Trauma, Psychological

Family Psychoeducation for Military Veterans: A Pilot Study

Start date: January 18, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Operational Stress Injuries (OSIs), including post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), are prevalent among veterans deployed in recent combat missions, the effects of which are experienced within their families. The development of evidence-based programs for veterans with OSIs and their families is critical because family functioning both affects and is affected by OSIs. Few programs have been implemented, however, particularly in Canada, and those that have are not evaluated. Research suggests that brief, systems-focused family psychoeducation programs are useful in the treatment of OSIs, specifically PTSD, leading to increases in targeted PTSD knowledge and skills and enhancing resilience. The purpose of this pilot study is to: (1) develop a systems-focused, virtual psychoeducational program designed to enhance resilience in veterans with OSIs receiving clinical care at an OSI clinic in Atlantic Canada and their families; (2) to implement the virtual program with veterans and their families at the OSI clinic; (3) to evaluate the efficacy of the program; and (4) to compare resilience-building family psychoeducation to the standard information-providing services currently available to families at the OSI clinic. Results will be shared within the network of OSI clinics in Canada and will inform the development of a proposal for a mixed-method study.

NCT ID: NCT03722043 Completed - Parenting Clinical Trials

Investigating the Impact of A Veteran-Focused Parenting Program on Parenting Stress, Competence and Parenting Practices

Start date: January 8, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Veterans or spouses of veterans with a minor child will participate in a five-week parenting program. The goals of the parenting program are to assist in improving parent's sense of competence, improving parent's emotional regulation abilities, and lower parental stress by incorporating mindfulness and values-based parenting principles. The program will utilize evidence-based practices that will be delivered in a manner that incorporates aspects of military culture (i.e., language and concepts are tailored to that used within military culture). Mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy have been shown to be effective in treating service members [1], and this will be the first study that examines how learning these principles do or do not impact parenting stress, competence, and practices. The parenting program is free, and is offered by the investigators as a community service. Participation in the parenting program does not obligate enrollment in the research study.

NCT ID: NCT03336190 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Blue Star Cares: Innovative Approaches to Helping Military-Connected Caregivers

BSC
Start date: June 24, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this project is to evaluate an interactive training program for military-connected caregivers (MCCs) of wounded warriors. The program leverages existing resources and incorporates evidence-based training and peer-based support networks to enhance continuity of care. The program consists of an educational Toolkit (workbook) and an avatar training interaction where an MCC can practice skills learned from the toolkit training with the avatar (how to navigate difficult conversations). This is an educational training evaluation to determine whether or not avatar interaction can effectively improve health outcomes in MCCs.

NCT ID: NCT03211884 Completed - Clinical trials for Brain Injuries, Traumatic

Effects of PSTon Mental Health Outcomes in Caregivers of Post-9/11 Combat Veterans With a Traumatic Brain Injury

Start date: July 13, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of PST for positively impacting distressed military family caregiver's depression and burden levels (secondary outcomes), ultimately enhancing their mental health quality of life (QOL, primary outcome).
