Filter by:Paediatric behavioural, developmental, and mental health issues are more common than childhood cancers, cardiac problems, and renal problems combined. Behavioural problems have often been conceptualized along two broad spectrums: internalizing problems which are expressed in intrapersonal manifestation, such as anxiety, depression, and withdrawal; and externalizing problems which are demonstrated in interpersonal manifestation, such as hyperactivity and aggression The lack of attention to the mental health of children and adolescents may lead to mental disorders with lifelong consequences, undermines compliance with health regimens, and reduces the capacity of societies to be safe and productive. As, children and adolescent mental health problems often have serious long term debilitating effects . Early identification and treatment of these problems are in the best interest of children, adolescents, their families, and society as a whole . All three essential ways in which epidemiology can contribute to our understanding of children and adolescent mental health: community burden, measurement, and triage were of utmost importance. planning and conducting the survey. In this study the researchers will present the first large-scale survey of child and adolescent psychiatric disorders at Assiut government For adequate planning of services, including evidence-based mental health prevention and intervention, a population-representative survey of children and adolescent estimating mental disorders was urgently needed
maltreatment are particularly vulnerable towards child abuse and developing mental and physical health issues. parent child interaction therapy (PCIT)) is one of those interventions which can address these vulnerabilities by improving parent to child relation and interaction, primarily improving parenting skills and helping parents cope with their parenting stress and child's behavioral problems. PCIT is empirically validated to decrease parenting stress, couple conflict and enhance parent child interaction, resulting in better coping skills while parenting for a child with disability. This research is very vital as it measures the efficacy of parent child interaction. In Pakistan mostly parents are bringing their children to clinic without any support from government therefore it is not possible for everyone to get daily based therapeutic intervention. The area of Parent-child Interaction Therapy and the acceptance of these treatments are new and emerging in Pakistani Health Care, apart from above; this research will also assist in identifying further areas of research.
The Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia makes several changes in daily living. The Indonesian government suggests that everyone should stay at home by implements the work from home and school from home. Therefore, the issues related with Covid-19 are also worrying such as death because of the infection, virus transmission, doing everything from home such as Friday praying for Moslem, Sunday service at home, etc. People is anxious whenever meeting people because they are not really understand whether people is infected or not. Therefore, this study tries to identify the impact of Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia towards mental well-being of the community.
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) usually exhibt problematic behavioral issues such as hitting, non-compliance, tantrums, spitting, headbanging and aggression, this not only cause distress for the child but also has a significant effect on the mental health of the parents. In Pakistan, the rise in ASD children, lack of resources, non-advocacy, and limited knowledge amongst health professionals have created an alarming situation not only psychologically but also because of the economic burden. The current study is to assess the impact of a psychoeducation and parental skills training programme for reducing the parental psychological stress and disruptive behavior of their children with Autism. This is a 24 weeks parent education and behavioural management manualized programme based on the principles of applied behavior analysis. The plan will include skills training on replacing problematic behaviours with more appropriate behaviours, improving social communication in verbal and non-verbal children, and interactions with peers and others. The parents will be trained on the manualized training programme in groups or as individual sessions using modelling, role-plays and rehearsal as training methods. A total of 60 parents of ASD children, age ranges from 3 to 9 years with disruptive behaviour will be recruited. The diagnosed ASD children screened from the standardised instruments not later than six months and scored > 15 on the subscale Irritability of Aberrant Behaviour Checklist will be randomly divided into two groups, 1) parents receiving manualized training program 2) parents receiving education sessions. The baseline will be determined baseline by using parent-rated instruments for behavioural problems using the Aberrant Behaviour Checklist, Home Situation Questionnaire, Vineland Adaptive behaviour scales, Symptom Checklist 90, and Parental Distress Index. Overall there will be 12 core sessions on the Parental Education (PE) pertaining to parent education including advocacy and educational planning over 24 weeks and 11 sessions of Parent Training (PT) for managing behavioural issues of autistic children. Each session will last for 60 to 90 minutes. There will be six months follow up, and evaluation will be done by the masked assessor. All the sessions will be from a trained psychologist and behaviour analysts who have more than 1 year experience of working with children with ASD. To ensure treatment integrity, all training sessions will be assessed after every 4 weeks by using behavioural measures to evaluate the correct implementation of treatment protocol. Some of the sessions will be recorded. It is anticipated that parent training will improve the mental health of parents and reduce the disruptive behaviour of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Alzheimer disease is the most common neurodegenerative brain disease that causes cognitive impairment in the elderly but also behavioral and psychological symptoms. Among these symptoms, agitation is one of the most dangerous because it put the patient and their caregivers in danger. Sleep disorders can be the cause of many psychiatric symptoms leading directly or indirectly to agitation. Music therapy is the non-drug therapy which has been shown to be the most effective in managing agitation and sleep disorders. With the MAGE protocol, the investigators propose to take care of behavioral disorders in severe Alzheimer patients living in nursing home through sequences of music therapy (stimulation, relaxation) automatically initiated by an actigraph that will detect sleep disorders. These subjects will be exposed for 2 weeks over a month. Behavioral and sleep disorders will be evaluated objectively by actigraphy but also by standardized scales, as the others neuropsychiatric symptoms found classically in this disease. Thanks to this project, the investigators hope to improve the quality of life of these patients by preventing them from putting themselves in danger, by reducing their neuropsychiatric symptoms and their use of medication, which has often deleterious side effect and also by reducing the workload of caregivers.
Researchers in the Neurodevelopmental Division at Phoenix Children's Hospital are conducting a study about mitochondrial function in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study involves up to 5 visits to Phoenix Children's Hospital with fasting blood draws, behavioral assessments, and/or questionnaires. Other samples may be collected when appropriate. This study is currently recruiting. There is no cost for visits or study-related exams.
This study is of great importance because it uses a method that has not been tested in the past. To date, various interventions have been examined that use music for patients with dementia. At the same time, no intervention was conducted that integrates an additional person who shares personalized music with the patient. If the combination of another person who shares the positive effect of the music with the patient is found to enhance the positive effect of the music, it can change the routine of work with dementia patients and may even reduce the use of tranquilizers among them. In many cases, it has been found that one of the biggest challenges for family members who treat patients with dementia is the lack of content in the sessions and as a result, the growing sense of alienation between the patient and his family. Listening to music can be a significant tool in the hands of the family, the main caregiver, the medical staff, and any person who comes in contact with the patient, a tool that can strengthen the sense of connection and connection between them.
Adolescence is characterized by major transitions in sleep and circadian rhythm. This rapid pivotal period increases the risks of sleep debt and poor sleep quality, leading to pronounced diurnal fatigue and drowsiness. On the other hand, academic stress has been also associated with increased sleep disturbances. Both academic stress and poor sleep in adolescents has been linked to increased sleepiness rate, reduced alertness, lower academic performances and the impairment of the control of energy balance through hyperphagia. Despite the importance of sleep in holistic development, physical (i.e. recovery, metabolism, muscle growth, weight control), cognitive (i.e. learning, memory, decision-making, Vigilance). Few studies have been designed to improve this behavior among college adolescents, especially in times of academic stress. Physical activity has been suggested as a non-pharmacological alternative treatment for sleep disorders . Generally, it is well established that the duration and quality of sleep were improved by regular physical activity among adolescents and far better, it was suggested that the exercise-mediated effect on sleep could be even observed in the short term. Moreover, it was suggested that aerobic exercise has positive effects on psychological stress and well-being of adolescents . Therefore, APADOSLEEP trial, was designed to examine the effect of physical activity program on sleep during and outside periods of academic stress.
Introduction: Studies focusing on back pain do not compare different types of back pain diagnosis in relation to a specific psychiatric comorbidity, nor if the presence of psychiatric comorbidity affects treatment. There are limited knowledge on pharmacological treatment of back pain disorders,and especially if the presence of psychiatric comorbidity is an ad-on to the dosage of medication prescribed. Investigating the use of opioids and other pain medication in back patients and the potential effect of concomitant psychiatric comorbidity as well as taking psychiatric medication under consideration is therefore relevant. Aim: This aim of this PhD thesis is: 1) to estimate the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in patients with back pain disorders (BPD) compared to patients with no back pain. 2) Investigate if psychiatric comorbidity affects the type of treatment given. 3) Examine if the presence of psychiatric comorbidity affects the levels of pharmacological treatment given with a focus on both pain medication, such as opioids, as well as treatment with psychotropic medication. Methods:The association between back pain disorders and psychiatric comorbidity will be investigated using population-based registry data. The population will be defined as adult patients (+18) with a relevant back pain disorder using The National Danish Patient Registry. The following registries will be also utilized: A subdivision of the DNPR, the National Patient Registry - Psychiatry (NPD-Psych), The Danish National Prescription Database, The Danish National Health Service Register and the DREAM database. By using the Danish Civil Registry and the unique personal identification number assigned to all Danish citizens at birth, data across registries can be linked on an individual level. Ethics:The Region of Southern Denmark is the data controller for this project, and it is included in their records of personal data processing activities (file no. (18/3337).). Additional approvals or consents were not needed for this project based exclusively on national registries according to Danish law. The data processing was conducted according to EU and Danish legislation on processing of sensitive personal information and, as complies with internal regulations from the Region of Southern Denmark.
Objectives: This study aims to explore families' representations and strategies about their teenagers or young adults involved in the radicalisation process and use these findings to build specific tools to help professionals provide family support.
