Filter by:Background: In the context of neonatal care, the increasing complexity of medical interventions poses challenges to nurses, contributing to elevated workplace stress. This stress can impact the well-being of nurses and the overall quality of patient care. Despite the documented significance of workplace stress, there is a scarcity of research on effective stress management interventions for neonatal care nurses. This pilot study aims to explore the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a virtual reality (VR) intervention on stress reduction among nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at CHU Sainte-Justine. Methods: A randomized intra-subject clinical trial will be conducted, involving 30 NICU nurses and nurse assistants. Participants will act as their own controls, receiving both experimental (VR) and control (tablet gaming) interventions in a random sequence. The study will assess the feasibility of the interventions, clinical trial procedures, and participant satisfaction. Stress levels will be measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Trait subscale), Nurse Stress Scale, Stress Numerical Rating Scale-11, and salivary alpha-amylase. Additionally, participants will provide sociodemographic information, and the study will evaluate the perceived clinical workload during intervention sessions. Interventions: The study will employ Paperplane Therapeutics' VR program, INSPIRE, designed to offer a multisensory relaxation experience. The control intervention involves tablet gaming during breaks. Both interventions will be 15 minutes in duration, implemented over five weeks. Results: The study aims to provide insights into the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of VR-based stress management interventions for NICU nurses. Data analysis will involve statistical comparisons of stress measures between VR and control interventions, contributing to the evidence base for implementing workplace stress reduction programs. Conclusion: This research addresses a critical gap in the literature by investigating the potential benefits of VR interventions for stress reduction among NICU nurses. If successful, this approach could enhance workplace well-being, job satisfaction, and overall nursing care quality, leading to broader implications for stress management strategies in healthcare settings.
Circadian rhythm disruption caused by shift work alters metabolic and hormonal pathways, which accelerates chronic disease onset, leading to decreased quality and quantity of life. Preclinical studies indicate that optimizing nutrient and sleep/rest timing can mitigate these effects. Female nightshift healthcare workers will be recruited to participate in a randomized crossover trial in which participants will be expected to follow the prescribed lifestyle intervention for eight weeks during the first or second eight-week periods of the study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate stress biomarkers, subjective stress levels, and cognitive function in medical students. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Does regular osteopathic manipulative treatment affect stress in medical students? Does regular osteopathic manipulative treatment affect cognitive function in medical students? Participants will be split into two groups, control and treatment, and undergo a designated protocol for six weeks. The treatment protocol will include weekly sessions of three OMT techniques: paraspinal inhibition, rib raising, and condylar decompression. Concurrently, participants' salivary cortisol levels will be collected weekly and analyzed using an Invitrogen ELISA Immunoassay Kit. Additionally, cognitive function will be assessed weekly via Lumosity, while stress levels are gauged using the College Student Stress Scale (CSSS) survey. Researchers will compare one cohort of medical students who receive weekly OMT and another cohort of medical students who have weekly check-ins without OMT to see if OMT can affect changes in stress biomarkers, subjective stress scales, and cognitive function.
The goal of this "digital health intervention" study is to test a novel email management tool called "AirEmail" (version 1, or v1) for its impact on improving key aspects of healthcare email management. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the effects of technostress in staff employed by the National Health Service (NHS)? - Can the AirEmail digital tool improve email productivity? - Can the AirEmail digital tool improve participant digital wellbeing? Participants will use AirEmail for a period of 4 weeks as part of their routine management of healthcare email. This active use period will be preceded and followed by 2 weeks of an "observational mode" in which email use data is collected. Researchers will compare participants in the active study group with participants in the contemporary observational group to see if the volume and patterns of email communications have been affected by external factors or AirEmail use.
This remote study is intended to assist the population with access to cost-effective pastoral counseling for stress management in the workplace and every day life. In awareness of a support system, Bachelor's age 30 and older requirements were waived to accept the Bachelor's age 21-29 for verified relatives of an individual Humanitarian Veterans Association member; however, without BLOOD-QUANTUM to an individual Humanitarian Veterans Association member, the preferred Bachelor age is 30 years old and up. Holistic medicine (also known as Holistic Education) for adults doesn't replace nor substitute clinical diagnosis and medical treatment.
Surveys including a demographic chart, the Clance Impostor phenomenon scale (CIPS) and the Malash burnout inventory for medical personnel (MBI-HSS-MP) will be sent to residents and chief-residents in anesthesiology in Latin Switzerland (VD, VS, GE, Ti). A qualitative study will then explore the experiences and coping strategies of self-doubt and impostor syndrome of junior resident anesthesiologists working at Geneva University Hospital, during their transition from mandatory training in internal medicine to anesthesiology.
Response of hand grip, pinch grip and body composition to type of effort between female physiotherapist and female dentist at internship year.
This study addresses nursing acuity measures within somatic in-patient care. Quantitative and qualitative analyses will be used in order to examine staffing levels and nurses' perception of work environment, before, during and after the implementation of a patient acuity tool as a part of daily management.
The aim of the study, which was planned in the experimental design type, was to determine the effect of the mindfulness-based stress reduction training on nurses' job stress. The sample of the study consisted of 70 nurses (35 in the experimental group, 35 in the control group) working in a university hospital in Çanakkale. The mindfulness-based stress reduction training was carried out as a group, once a week, for 8 weeks in total.
This study is a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of a mobile app-based program aimed to help individuals with unemployment-related emotional distress return to work.
