Filter by:There is a broad consensus that preventing or delaying initiation of adolescent alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) use can substantially improve both short- and long-term adolescent health. Despite the existence of effective prevention programs, adolescent ATOD use continues to be a substantial issue. Continued research on preventive interventions is needed. School-based mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been shown to be feasible and effective at improving adolescent psychological well-being. Evidence from both quasi-experimental studies and randomized controlled trials suggests that incorporating MBIs into school-settings can lower levels of anxiety, depression, and stress, while improving capacity for emotional regulation. Greater mindfulness also been linked to reduced adolescent ATOD use via observational studies. There are strong theoretical reasons to believe that MBIs delivered in school settings can prevent or reduce ATOD use among youth. In particular, MBIs have been shown to improve psychological well-being among youth via multiple mechanisms also relevant for adolescent ATOD use. These mechanisms include enhanced attentional control, negative emotion regulation, promotion of positive emotion generation, and increased feelings of connectedness. Despite these connections, school-based MBIs are yet to demonstrate the ability to prevent or reduce adolescent ATOD use. The current study will examine psychological well-being and ATOD use among approximately 80 participants in a quasi-experimental, school-based MBI. In early 2022, approximately 40 high school seniors were provided with one semester of a weekly, classroom-based MBI embedded into their Social Studies curriculum; approximately 40 high school seniors participated in the standard curriculum. The intervention group was provided with an adaptation of Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE). MORE is an evidence-based therapeutic program that integrates mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and positive psychology to treat addiction and enhance well-being. MORE has been shown to produce therapeutic benefits in the treatment of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug addiction in adult populations, but is yet to be tested as a preventive intervention for youth. Follow up data collection is planned for spring 2023 to assess psychological well-being, ATOD use, and proposed therapeutic mechanisms pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at 9-month follow up.
The study is aimed at comparing the differential effects of two widely used standardized meditation programs: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) delivered in a retreat format with a cross-over design in a general population sample of healthy adults.
This study will test the feasibility of delivering smartphone-based mindfulness and coping interventions to a sample of emerging/young adults with a history of early life adversity (ELA). 80 participants with a history of ELA will be randomly assigned to complete a two-week mindfulness training intervention or matched coping control intervention, both involving 14 foundational audio-guided lessons and practice prompts randomly delivered 3x daily. At baseline, post-intervention, and one-month follow-up lab assessments, participants will complete questionnaires and provide blood samples for assessment of markers of inflammation. Data assessing subjective and physiological stress in daily life will be collected during the intervention and for one week before, immediately after, and one month after the intervention. Passive sensor data will be continuously collected from participants' smartphones and wearable devices to develop exploratory models that estimate and predict daily life stress. Data will be used to evaluate feasibility and acceptability of interventions and assessments in an ELA sample, test effects of mindfulness training on daily life stress and markers of inflammation in an ELA sample, and develop exploratory machine learning models of stress from passive sensor data.
The research will be carried out to determine the effect of mindfulness-based pregnancy education program on stress, fear of childbirth and birth self-efficacy in pregnant women. The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. The universe of the research will consist of pregnant women who applied to Gaziantep Cengiz Gökçek Gynecology and Pediatrics Hospital Pregnancy training class. The sample of the research, on the other hand, was determined by power analysis, at least the number of individuals to be included in the sample of the research. Sample size when power analysis is done; Assuming that the method applied with 5% error level, bidirectional significance level, 95% confidence interval and 80% ability to represent the universe, would reduce the anxiety score averages (30.53±6.49) by 4 points, a total of 84 pregnant women (42 experimental, 42 control) were calculated. Introductory Information Form", "Prenatal Distress Scale (PBL)-Revised Version", "Birth Attitude Scale" and "Birth Self-Efficacy Scale short form" will be used. It is predicted that the research will contribute to the literature in line with its originality and results.
Mindfulness; It is the state of paying attention and being aware of what is happening right now. Mindfulness, includes noticing what is happening in the present moment and the way of meeting all that is noticed. The research will be conducted in a randomized controlled manner in order to determine the Effect of MBSR (Conscious Awareness Based Stress Reduction) Program on Anxiety, Work Related Emotional Burnout and Job Satisfaction in midwives. Data will be collected from midwives working at Gaziantep Cengiz Gökçek Gynecology and Childhood Hospital between September 1 and December 30, 2022. Midwives who agree to participate in the study and meet the criteria will be sent and asked to fill in web-based online questionnaires (Whatsapp) prepared by the researchers through Google Forms. As a pre-test, "Descriptive Information Form", "Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI)", "Work-Related Emotional Burnout Scale" and "Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale (MSQ) Short Form" will be administered to midwives in the experimental and control groups. After the stress reduction program based on mindfulness was applied online by the researcher to the experimental group, 2 sessions a week for 4 weeks (1 month), a total of 8 sessions; Post-test data will be obtained by re-applying the "Beck Anxiety Scale (BAS)", "Work-Related Emotional Burnout Scale" and "Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale (MSQ) Short Form" scale to the experimental group and simultaneously to the control group. The universe of the research will be composed of midwives working at Gaziantep Cengiz Gökçek Gynecology and Childhood Hospital on the relevant dates. The minimum number of individuals to be included in the sample of the study was determined by power analysis. Sample size when power analysis is done; Assuming that the method applied with 5% error level, bidirectional significance level, 95% confidence interval and 80% ability to represent the universe, would reduce the anxiety score averages (8.20±8.64) by 6 points, a total of 66 midwives (33 experimental, 33 control) calculated. A total of 80 midwives (40 experimental, 40 control) are planned to be included in the study, taking into account possible case losses (approximately 20%).
This study aimed to examine whether mindfulness skills training can help to reduce experiential avoidance and anxiety level. This study investigated whether the training delivery methods (audio-guided mindfulness exercise or virtual reality-based mindfulness exercise) differ in terms of changing general experiential avoidance and anxiety symptoms.
The overarching goal of the present study was to evaluate a MHSP-presented versus peer-presented mental health resilience skills-building online video outreach program against a wait-list comparison group.
Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a newly implemented evaluation standard for medical students and is a determinant part of the national competition they have to undergo. Exam periods are significantly associated with increased stress and anxiety which led to reduced performance, impaired memorization and impaired workload capacities. Cardiac biofeedback and mindfulness techniques are efficient methods for stress reduction. Interventions that aim to mobilize competence, such as mobilization of inner strength and resources techniques, should improve the level of preparation of medical students. These three procedures could influence the stress level and improve performance during the OSCE. There is currently no study exploring the effect of these physiological and psychological procedures on the performance during OSCE for medical students.
This project is highly innovative as it will be the first to develop a mindfulness-based treatment as a first-line intervention tailored to target moral injury among combat-wounded veterans. In Study 1, the investigators recruited a small group of veterans to give feedback on the project. In Studies 2 and 3, the investigators will compare the newly developed mindfulness training to an equally intensive Educational Support condition. Further, if successful, this application may have the ability to adapted and extended to address common to other professions that experience moral injury.
Among the stress factors of nursing students are traumatic experiences such as death and encountering a dying patient from the first moments of their education years, fear of making mistakes in the clinic, patient care, not getting enough support from the instructor or clinic staff, and communication problems. Exposure to long-term and uncontrollable stress negatively affects students' professional identity development and health. Students who cannot cope with their stress feel stress at a higher level and as a result they may experience anxiety and depression.It is important for nurse candidates to graduate by being supported in all aspects, both in terms of individual and professional development. For this reason, nursing educators should use effective and innovative interventions to help students recognize the stress they experience and help them reduce stress. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy Program (MBCT) is one of these programs. Although studies with MBCT are found in the literature, our country In the literature, no randomized controlled studies were found with nursing students. In line with this information, it was thought that mindfulness-based studies were needed. This study was planned to determine the effect of MBCT program on depression, anxiety, stress and cognitive flexibility of nursing students.
