Filter by:Our study aims to investigate whether our CoronAviRus educaTional prOgram fOr children (CARTOON) facilitates the adherence to hygiene measures and is feasible to dispel fear in preschool children (3-6 years old) during the pandemic.
The project aims to investigate the effects of a short-term cbt-based psychotherapy intervention for a diagnostically mixed group of psychiatric inpatients. In a multiple baseline single subject design, 5-10 patients with mixed diagnoses that are treated at any of the inpatient units at the Hospital of Västmanland, Västerås, Sweden, will be offered a short psychotherapeutic intervention. The intervention is cbt based, and consists of focused functional analysis with identification of the main problem to be treated; an experiential exercise called the life line, in which obstacles to living a valued life are investigated, and in which alternative steps to be taken in spite of psychiatric symptoms are formulated; a summary excercise called the pause, in which central principles of the treatment are repeated, and in which a relapse prevention plan is formulated. The intervention will consist of approximately 2-5 sessions. The primary research question is whether such an intervention is effective in terms of causal change in problem areas identified as personally meaningful by the individual patient.
The purpose of this study is to collect patients' experiences and feedback to better understand and improve mental health care using telehealth services. This is critically important as telehealth appointments, including both phone and video calls, continue to be offered for regular appointments to reduce in-person interaction as a preventive measure to help control the spread of COVID-19.
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a 5-week, therapist-guided, internet-delivered parent management training program (BIP SAMBA) targeting children aged 5 - 11 years with externalising behavior problems. The study is a randomised controlled trial with parents of N=30 children participating. The intervention BIP SAMBA is compared with a waitlist control condition. Participants in the control condition will be crossed over to the active treatment after 5 weeks. The primary outcome measure is the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI) at the post treatment (5 weeks after baseline assessment).
This project seeks to evaluate the trajectories of suicidal ideation and attempts in adolescent patients with psychiatric disorders in secondary care controls in the Maule region, in relation to clinical factors (depressive symptoms, anxiety, stress, psychiatric comorbidity, mistreatment or abuse, history of psychiatric disorders and pharmacological treatments); psychological (parenting styles, impulsivity, barriers in seeking help and emotional regulation), and neuropsychological (executive function-decision making).
The PYCC is a system for parents of young children (2-5 years old) with Disruptive Behavior Problems (DBPs). The program is designed with the intentions of being used a pediatric primary care visit. Parents that report elevated child behavior problems go through a three part program. First, they go through a brief intervention on a tablet (i.e., the initial check-up) to receive feedback and learn about the PYCC; the aim is to build motivation to make parenting changes and engage in the parenting young children check-up. Next, parents receive text messages to connect them to further parent training content. Finally, parent training content is delivered via a web-based resource (i.e., the PYCC website), which includes videos to teach parenting skills. In this pilot RCT, the investigators will focus on examining the impact of the brief intervention (i.e., the initial check-up). Secondarily, the investigators will examine overall impact of the whole PYCC program and use of the parenting training website. Parents will learn about the research opportunity through select community-based organizations in Detroit, Michigan, local posting, and a local participant registry. Through a phone call, parents will complete a demographics questionnaire and the DBP screener. The investigators aim to screen 200 parents in order to enroll 40 parents in the clinical trial. If parents report elevated DBPs and do not meet any exclusion criteria, then they will be eligible to further participate. Parents that are eligible will complete a consent form (i.e., an online information sheet) and then be randomly assigned to intervention (n = 20) or control (n = 20). Both groups will complete a brief baseline. Both groups will also learn about the Parenting Young Children Check-up (PYCC). However, the way in which they learn about the program will differ. The control group will see a brief description about the program (i.e., an online flier) and will receive a brochure for the program through the mail. The intervention group will go through the full PYCC initial check-up and also receive a brochure through the mail. Both groups will receive text messages prompting them to engage in the PYCC. After initial participation, parents will be free to use, or not use, the Parenting Young Children Check-up web-based resource as much as they want. Parents will enter their phone number and first name when accessing the web-based content in order for use to track their engagement. All use of the web-based resource will start with "Session 1. In this, they will choose what parenting skills they want to learn. If parents go through session 1, they will be further connected to PYCC content through tailored text messages. Texts contain links to all PYCC web-based content. Parents will be able to learn content related to "Special Time," "Labeled Praise," "Family Rules," "Effective Commands," "Offering Choices," "Routines," "Removing Attention," "Logical Consequences," and "Time out." All content of the PYCC is based on evidence-based parent training program content. The purpose of this project is evaluate the Parenting Young Children Check-up. In particular, the investigators are interested in if the initial check-up leads parents to engage in the PYCC (i.e., completing session 1 and using the parent training content on the PYCC website). Hypotheses include: Primary Hypothesis: The intervention group (i.e. those randomized to complete the full initial check-up) will visit the parent training website more than the control group. The investigators hypothesize that, compared to the control group, more parents in the control group with complete "session 1," and use the PYCC web-based content to learn parenting skills (i.e., more parents will use any of this content and parents will use it more frequently). Secondary Hypothesis (a): Participants assigned to the intervention group, as compared to those in the control group, will have higher scores for all domains consistent with the Theory of Planned Behavior at follow-up. Secondary Hypothesis (b). Participants in the intervention group will report high levels of satisfaction (i.e., >=4 on a 5-point scale). The investigators will also explore the impact of the PYCC on reported parenting and child behavior problems. Furthermore, the investigators will explore the impact of the initial check-up on intentions to use the parent training website.
Aim: The aim of the study was to examine the effects of progressive muscle relaxation training with music therapy on sleep quality, trait anger, and anger expression style of patients at the community mental health center. Method: The study is conducted as the pretest-posttest control group design. The study population consisted of chronic psychiatric patients who continue in a Community Mental Health Center located in southeastern Turkey. The days when the participants came to the Community Mental Health Center were selected and the participants divided into two groups as an intervention and control group.
People with a severe mental illness (SMI) have an increased risk for premature mortality, predominantly due somatic health conditions. Evidence indicates that prevention and improved treatment of somatic conditions in patients with SMI could reduce this excess mortality. This paper reports a protocol designed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a coordinated co-produced care programme (SOFIA model) in the general practice setting to reduce mortality and improve quality of life in patients with severe mental illness. The primary outcomes are description of study feasibility (recruitment and retention) and acceptability. The SOFIA trial is designed as cluster randomized controlled trial targeting general practices in two regions in Denmark. 12 practices will each recruit 15 community-dwelling patients aged 18 and older with severe mental illness (SMI). Practices will be randomized in a ratio 2:1 to deliver a coordinated care program or care-as-usual during a 6 month period. An online randomized algorithm is used to perform randomization. The coordinated care program comprises enhanced educational training of general practitioners and their clinical staff, and prolonged consultations focusing on individual needs and preferences of the patient with SMI. Assessments are administered at baseline, and at end of study period. If delivery of the intervention in the general practice setting proves feasible, a future definitive trial to determine the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing mortality and improving quality of life in patients with SMI can take place.
Pregnancy and postpartum are recognized as periods of psychic fragility. However, the psychiatric disorders of women that can emerge during these periods are underdiagnosed and have consequences in particular on the development of the child, his relationship with his parents. The need for an early diagnosis to allow appropriate treatment seems to be essential. The pregnancy monitoring is centered on the somatic and little on psychological evaluation of the mother and the father. In this context, the Early Prenatal Interview (EPP) was created through the perinatal plan of 2005-2007 in order to allow a more precise research of the factors of vulnerabilities likely to be predictive of a somatic, psychological or social disorder. However, until now, only few pregnant women benefited of this interview. In May 2020, EPP became mandatory for all pregnant women. It now seems important to clearly identify the place, function, organization and usefulness of this interview in order to maximize its benefit in the monitoring of pregnancy
