Filter by:Psychological distress is commonly experienced by survivors of an intensive care admission, including patients treated during previous pandemics. Whilst data emerges about the short-term impact of COVID-19 on patients and healthcare systems, the long term impact remains unclear. The purpose of this trainee-led, multi-centre longitudinal study is to assess the short- and long-term psychological impact on patients who have survived an admission to intensive care due to COVID-19, and identify possible predictors of anxiety, depression and trauma symptoms in this patient group.
The purpose of this study is to test if expressive writing about traumatic events has positive changes in women living with post-traumatic stress.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a virtual Mantram repetition program for adults with PTSD and substance use disorders. The program involves repetition of a personalized Mantram, which is a word or short phrase with spiritual meaning that is frequently repeated throughout the day. The program also involves slowing down thoughts and have one-pointed attention that help with stress.
Neurofeedback (NF) is a form of treatment that can assist individuals in learning to control their brain wave activity. NF-studies have shown promising results in reducing PSTD-symptoms among military veterans, but there are no published peer-reviewed studies with refugees. However, preliminary studies from Malmö and Sydney indicate that refugees could benefit from NF. Therefore, at the Competence Centre for Transcultural Psychiatry (CTP) a longitudinal feasibility study, testing NF for trauma-affected was started. The study contains both a quantitative and a qualitative substudy. In in the quantitative substudy, where a total of 32 participants have been included, the aim was to evaluate the feasibility of NF with trauma affected refugees using a quantitative perspective. The NF intervention offered was 12 training sessions of 12-20 minutes NF, and the outcome measures were self-administered questionnaires and semi-structured interviews collected before and after the intervention. In a subsample of eight participants of those included in the quantitative substudy, qualitative in-depth interviews were carried out. The participants were offered two interviews; one before the first NF training and one during the treatment course. The aim of the qualitative substudy was to evaluate the feasibility of NF with trauma-affected refugees by examining the participants' thoughts and expectations prior to participating in NF treatment as well as their experience with the treatment after a few sessions.
This study has two aims. The first is to understand more of what may be typical health trajectories after mass trauma for children and adults and what predicts these trajectories. The second is to understand what may be effective early interventions to prevent long-term health and psychosocial problems for youth (6-19). Participants are recruited from an outreach program implemented after a landslide killed 11 persons and destroyed 33 houses in Gjerdrum in Norway. One third of the inhabitants were evacuated. All evacuated are contacted and screened for trauma related difficulties. Those who have significant post-trauma reactions are offered trauma focused interventions.
The COVID-19 outbreak has been categorized as a pandemic and declared an international public health emergency by WHO. In this context, an exceptional mobilization and a complete reorganization of the organization of the healthcare offer was put in place.The investigators will study the psychological consequences among emergency department (ED) / SAMU (Service d'Aide Médicale Urgente) professionals exposed during the COVID-19 pandemic to high psychological stress due to work overload, changes in practices and fears of contamination.They will evaluate at 9 and 12 months after the end of the second lockdown (July December 2020), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), personal and professional stress, anxiety and depression, burn-out and consumption of anxiolytic products. This is a multi-center study and includes doctors, DE interns and nurses, other paramedics and medical regulatory assistants working in one of the ED or SAMU working during phase 3 of the COVID-19 pandemic. It should make it possible to know the psychological load of the months following the epidemic among health professionals who worked in emergencies during this period and to understand their risk of occurrence of PTSD. These elements are also essential to improve the management of health crises and to put in place preventive measures for health professionals, in particular in anticipation of recurrences, second wave or future new episode.
The study will seek to explore the possibility of developing post-traumatic stress disorder following a violent offense commited, among the population of prisoners of the Bordeaux-Gradignan penitentiary center.
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a passive acoustic intervention that is designed as a "neural exercise" to promote efficient regulation of autonomic state. Prior research has shown that the SSP can improve autonomic function, auditory hypersensitivities, and emotion regulation in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders. This observational pilot study is being conducted to establish methods for an upcoming randomized controlled trial to test the utility of the SSP for trauma treatment. This study will enroll clients at the Spencer Psychology clinic who are set to take part in SSP under the supervision of their therapist. Because the therapists have participated in the design of the protocol and will participate in data collection and analysis, SSP will be considered a research procedure. In addition to taking part in SSP, subjects complete a set of questionnaires and have their pulse measured before starting the SSP intervention, after having completed 2/5 hours of the SSP, one week after completing all 5 hours of the SSP, and one month after completing the SSP intervention. The investigators will also pull relevant information from Spencer Psychology's medical records to document diagnosis, track client progress during study, and augment self-reported demographics. Clients who are receiving psychotherapy but not the SSP will be recruited as a comparison group.
Late adolescence and early adulthood are the most exposed to trauma. College students exposed to trauma may experience depression, anxiety, stress, and difficulties adapting to college life. Depression symptoms are the most common reactions that people experience after traumatic experiences. Depression also harms college students reactions that people experience after traumatic experiences. It is difficult for people who are depressed to meet their social function. Trauma also has adverse physical effects, including dysfunction of the hypothalamus and adrenal axis, lowering blood cortisol levels. As a result, the body's immune system is disturbed, leaving people more exposed to diseases and experiencing more pain and fatigue. In particular, women are more vulnerable to PTSD than men. Women with post-traumatic stress and depression are also more likely to be exposed to several diseases. Moreover, when traumatized female college students experience life stress, it worsens their mental health and interferes with their studies. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most effective content composition method for trauma intervention. CBT should be improved by helping to reduce PTSS and depression and managing various aspects of life, such as nutrition, activity, and rest. One major advantage of online programs is that they do not face any time or space constraints, and they are also less expensive than face-to-face programs. More importantly, online programs can reduce psychological barriers to participation. This is especially important for women who are more likely to feel shame and stigma about interpersonal traumas, such as those arising from relationships and sexual trauma, which are obstacles to their access to face-to-face programs. College students can easily access online programs because of their familiarity with the Internet, so the programs can be immediately available in response to crises without requiring them to expose personal information to unfamiliar therapists. In this study, the interventions program was based on the Roy Adaptation Model to address post-traumatic physical and mental health problems among female college students in Korea. Hypothesis - The post-traumatic stress scores, depressive symptom scores of participants who access the program will decrease more than those who do not. - The functional health scores, college adaptation scores of participants who access the program will increase more than those who do not.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of BNC210 compared to placebo on PTSD symptom severity as measured by CAPS-5 Total Symptom Severity Scores.
