Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring in reducing breakup distress and promoting personal growth among Malaysian young adults. Cognitive restructuring is a therapy skill that focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts. The main question it aims to answer is: Are there differences in their breakup distress and personal growth after receiving cognitive restructuring compared to counselling? Participants will receive five online sessions of either cognitive restructuring or counselling. Data on participants' breakup distress and personal growth will be collected before and after completion of sessions. The hypothesis is that cognitive restructuring will reduce breakup distress and increase personal growth more than counselling.
Breast cancer is the type of cancer that significantly affects women's health and causes the most mortal in women. Despite the high incidence of breast cancer, women living after breast cancer are increasing due to advances in early diagnosis and effective treatment options. Treatments are aimed at prolonging survival from breast cancer and enabling patients to live better. Women repeatedly experience many vital crises such as the diagnosis of cancer, the difficulties of the treatment process and the fear of recurrence in the post-treatment period. In the face of these crises, post-traumatic growth occurs when the individual's efforts to cope are transformed into positive psychological experiences. Positive experiences lead to improvement in women's life, while negative experiences make it difficult to cope and adapt. In order for post-traumatic growth to take place, women should be supported to cope with these negative emotions. The care given to patients during cancer treatment should be such as to support the change process that will help individuals adapt to the new lifestyle.This information and supportive care content should include the topics that women will need in the long term after the treatment, in addition to the diagnosis and treatment process. Generally, the education and counseling given to the patient at the last treatment appointment may be limited. Due to the long period from the last treatment appointment to the control appointment, patients cannot interact with healthcare professionals for a long time. Long-term side effects and needs of people may differ after breast cancer treatment. For this reason, the need for information and consultancy services of healthcare professionals continues in this process as well.Today, the use of remotely accessible mechanisms in the treatment of breast cancer and in the follow-up of women after treatment is increasing. It is thought that the mobile application to be developed within the scope of the project will increase the quality and efficiency of health services with an R&D and innovative approach and make these services accessible to everyone through digital technologies. In addition, our study will set an example for nursing care to be presented in one of the priority areas of health, such as cancer, through digital technologies. In our study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of mobile health application based on Mezirow's Transformational Learning Theory on post-traumatic development in women with breast cancer. The research is a single center, parallel group, stratified block randomized controlled experimental study. It is planned to be conducted with 56 (intervention: 28, control: 28) women at Gazi University Health Research and Practice Center. The training content to be included in the mobile application has been determined by considering the results of the studies in the literature and the recommendations of international guides to determine the problems experienced by women with breast cancer during the post-treatment period. After receiving expert opinions on the subject content, the development process of the mobile application will be started. In the implementation phase of the study, the women in the intervention group will start using the mobile application 1 week after completing the active treatment chemotherapy and radiotherapy) process.The implementation of the study will last 8 weeks. At the end of eight weeks, data collection tools will be applied to the women. The final tests will be repeated 4 weeks after the end of the application. Starting from this period, women in the control group who want to use the application will also be included in the mobile application system. After completing the data collection tools, the analysis and reporting part will be started. Statistical analyzes will be made using SPSS Package Program (IBM SPSS Statistics 27). Student t test, Pearson Chi-square test, Independent Sample t test, Mann Whitney U test, One-Way Analysis of Variance or Friedman test will be used in the analyses.
This study was planned to investigate the effect of the training given to breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy with pecha kucha method on posttraumatic growth and psychological resilience.
Birth pain is the most severe painful experience faced by primiparous people. Massage and music therapy reduce tension in the muscles and reduce the feeling of pain. Massage and music therapy will be applied to pregnant women. No intervention will be made to a group of pregnant women. Numerical Pain Assessment, Post Traumatic Development Scale and Birth Comfort Scale will be used in the research.
This study will be carried out in a pre-test-post-test, randomized controlled (parallel), experimental order in order to examine the effect of the MIND-BE program applied to intensive care nurses on mental health parameters. The hypothesis of this study is that MIND-BE program increases resilience, posttraumatic growth, mindfulness, self-compassion levels, and reduces mental symptoms.
The objective of this study is to examine the effect of yoga on posttraumatic growth and quality of life. The birth action, which includes positive and negative experiences, can be an important opportunity to achieve posttraumatic growth and improve the quality of life. This is a experimental model with pretest-posttest control group study. Two hundred and fifty-two women who met the criteria for inclusion in the study made up the research population. Three instruments were used to obtain the research data: Personal Information Form, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) and SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire (SF-36).
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a well-documented phenomenon that occurs in cancer survivors. PTSD is known to cause problems with anxiety, depression, and quality of life. Furthermore, there is little treatment available for cancer survivors who suffer from PTSD. Posttraumatic Growth, however, is a lesser known phenomenon that also occurs in cancer survivors. It is a positive psychological phenomenon that occurs in some people who have suffered a traumatic event--the people who are able to note a "greater appreciation for life", a "stronger relationship with their family/friends," or a "new found level of spirituality" are examples of instances of posttraumatic growth. Coping with Lymphoma to Enhance Adjustment and Reduce Stress in Survivors (CLEAR Stress) is a study designed to compare the development of PTSD versus the development of Posttraumatic Growth in lymphoma patients at any stage of the cancer experience, regardless of treatment. The hypothesis is that posttraumatic growth, if it is significant, can reduce the impact of PTSD symptoms in the survivor.
This proposal examines trauma and growth responses in the childhood cancer experience. It addresses a number of gaps and unanswered questions in the literature, while integrating several distinct but related lines of research. The rationale for this proposal is outlined briefly as follows: 1. Traumatic stress models focused on pathology dominate pediatric psychosocial oncology research despite empiric evidence of low levels of post-traumatic stress in this population. 2. The assumption of 'cancer as a traumatic event' has biased research designs (including lack of control comparisons) to focus on deficits and pathological outcomes. 3. This deficit-oriented approach has stimulated the development of interventions to treat or prevent PTSD, which may be unnecessary or even harmful. 4. Theoretical and empiric evidence suggests that a more common response to traumatic stress is growth and positive change, but posttraumatic growth phenomenon have been understudied in pediatric populations. 5. Cognitive and personality factors are important determinants of PTSD and positive growth outcomes, and some constructs from positive psychology theory may be particularly relevant in children with cancer. 6. Empirically, parents of children with cancer appear to be at higher risk of PTSD/PTSS, although results are not unequivocal, and the same research biases have applied to parental outcomes. This proposal includes assessment of parental PTSS and PTG, both as an outcome and a predictor of child outcomes.
