The aim of this study to determine the effect of hot showers on postpartum fatigue, mood and comfort in women giving vaginal birth. 136 women, who were between 6 and 12 hours postpartum, were assigned to intervention and control groups by computer randomization. Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue, Visual Analogue Scale, Postpartum Comfort Questionnaire and Brief Mood Insight Scale were used to collect data. The women in the intervention group were allowed to take a shower in a standing position at a water temperature of 37-41°C for 10-20 minutes. In the control group, routine care was provided.
In developed countries, the acceleration of the general population ageing has been widely described for decades, involving changes in public health policies. Among the health issues arising from this demographic change, the maintenance of cognitive function will be a major challenge in the next years, both in societal and economic terms. In this regard, some pharmacological and behavioural (e.g. physical activity, social involvement, intellectually demanding activities) preventive approaches have been evaluated to improve cognitive function with ageing. Among them, dietary interventions showed a potential interest to prevent cognitive decline during ageing. In this sense, there is a growing interest to find ecological solutions and to meet major societal challenge the use of microalgae as molecule of interest sources is a recent promising approach. Marine environments harbour a huge biological diversity of microalgae that represents a large source of almost untapped bioactive compounds. This biodiversity comprises 200,000 to 2 million species with about 35,000 which are described and 15,000 maintained in culture collections. Microalgae are able to produce bioactive molecules, such as pigments, fatty acids, peptides and sterols. Some of these compounds are unique and specifically found in the marine environment and they could be increasingly used as natural bioactive products for targeted applications. Fucoxanthin is one of the major carotenoid found in microalgae well known for its neuroprotective effect but to our knowledge no human studies were realized. Thus the objective is to evaluate, in healthy older adults, the effect of a 24-week period of daily supplementation of high and low BrainPhyt, doses on cognitive function parameters (Spatial Working Memory scores, Attention and vigilance, episodic memory, executive function), stress, mood, sleep quality and biomarkers.
This is a pilot study of an online mental health treatment. The goals of the study are to determine the feasibility of an online treatment for depression and anxiety symptoms with little-to-no human support, in a sample of 50 adults with limited educational attainment. The treatment is based on the Unified Protocol, an evidence-based treatment for mood and anxiety symptoms. The study will enroll participants on a rolling basis until reaching the goal of 50 participants. The intervention lasts 16 weeks, with 12 weeks of online treatment focused on increasing mindfulness, decreasing avoidance, and increasing cognitive flexibility in order to decrease depression and anxiety symptoms. Participants will complete surveys about their symptoms and how they feel about the treatment to help us establish the feasibility of a larger trial.
Our long-term goal is to contribute to the development of evidence-based nutritional and physical activity recommendations for the prevention and management of overweight and obesity and related chronic diseases. The overall objective for this study is to determine if a 20-week educational program, project DFEND, related to behavior change and health will improve nutrition and physical activity outcomes as well as indicators of wellbeing. Our central hypothesis is that regular attendance of weekly lectures, weekly meetings with personalized coaches, and weekly health challenges via virtual platforms (e.g. Zoom, Facebook, YouTube) will improve health outcomes related to nutrition and physical activity. Our rationale for these studies is that the results of this research will enhance the potential to develop evidence-based nutritional and physical activity behavioral recommendations to treat and/or prevent development of overweight and obesity.
The aim of the project is to assess brain network dynamics, self-referential information processing and prosociality and learning following the modulation of the serotonin-system by serotonergic-psychoactive compounds.
The objective of this research is to record mood states and depression levels in healthy college students before and after 4 weeks of daily vinegar ingestion.
The purpose of this study is to pilot test an empirically supported psychotherapeutic intervention, Managing Cancer and Living Meaningfully (CALM). Researchers hope to better understand the potential benefits of this intervention on brain tumor patients' mood and quality of life. This may lead to improvements in doctor's understanding of how to enhance brain tumor patient's wellbeing and overall functioning.
This project will examine the effectiveness of an intervention to reduce sedentary behavior in Kansas State University employees who are primarily working from home. We will recruit 100 employees to participate. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four conditions: desk only, program only, desk + program, or waitlist control. The program will consist of strategies to reduce sitting and increase physical activity in the home environment. We will assess whether the intervention successfully elicits reductions in sitting among employees, as well as changes in cardiometabolic and work-related outcomes.
The participants in this study will be subjected to a specific clinic waiting area ambience (1- no aquarium, 2- presence of aquarium with no fish, and 3- aquarium with fish) for their period of waiting before their intended dental visit and their stress and anxiety levels will be measured. Heart rate, blood pressure will be measured and other upon their arrival into the dental clinic waiting area and then again after 20 minutes of waiting in the waiting area. Anxiety will be measured using a six-item State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6) questionnaire and the mood of the participants were assessed for valence and arousal, using the feeling scale, and the felt arousal scale. The data from the three different waiting room settings will be compared and statistically analysed to investigate if an aquarium has an impact, and in that case how.
