Filter by:The physical, social and psychological effects of Behcet's disease necessitate the patient's adaptation in many areas. This study was conducted to examine the effect of psychoeducation given to Behcet's patients in the context of the Roy Adaptation Model on illness adjustment, dyadic adjustment, self-esteem, and psychiatric symptoms. The study is a control group quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test and follow-up design. The study was conducted with 70 Behcet's patients including 35 interventions and 35 controls. The data of the study were collected using the "Patient Information Form", " Adaptation to Chronic Illness Scale", "Dyadic Adjustment Scale", "Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale" and "Brief Symptom Inventory" in pre-test, post-test and follow-up measurements. A 7-session psychoeducation program was applied to the intervention group.
Background: There is limited knowledge on the psychological implications of COVID-19 among hospitalized patients and their close relatives. Moreover, evidence-based psychological interventions targeting hospitalized COVID-19 patients and their relatives are currently lacking. Objective: To test a minimal psychoeducational intervention versus standard of care for reducing anxiety among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Methods and analysis: The trial is a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) with a 1 month and 3 month follow-up. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients are consecutively included at admission and randomized 1:1 to either an intervention or control group. Patients randomized to the intervention group will receive a minimal psychoeducational intervention just prior to discharge from the hospital. The goal of the intervention is that patients will be prepared and learn to interpret and react to physical and psychological symptoms that are related to recovering from a COVID-19 infection. Data is collected using standardized and validated patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess mental health outcomes. The primary outcome is patient reported anxiety as assess by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Perspectives: This study will provide a comprehensive understanding of the psychological implications of the COVID-19 outbreak. If successful, the minimal intervention is easily implemented in daily clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to produce and then assess a psychoeducational video series intended for use amongst an adult attention deficit/hyperactive clinical population. The videos will disseminate evidence-based strategies for the management of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Each video, roughly two minutes, will both introduce the viewer to a single ADHD management strategy and explain how said strategy can effectively be applied. The collective of the finished video series will aim to cover the breadth of common ADHD-related issues. An example of the animated video styling can be found at the following link: bit.ly/ADHD_Ethics. The investigators will evaluate these videos in a proof of concept program, looking at outcomes in both functional skill development and patient perspective. The results will be presented in an undergraduate thesis presentation.
1. Study Objectives To evaluate changes in general symptomatology in patients undergoing the day hospital eating disorders program at North York General Hospital and compare symptoms between treatment groups (motivation-oriented vs. psychoeducation-oriented). To determine treatment satisfaction ratings in patients undergoing the day hospital program and compare satisfaction between treatment groups. To evaluate the acceptability of patient-centered and motivation-oriented eating disorder treatment among patients. 2. Study Hypotheses: Participants who receive motivation-oriented adjunctive treatment will experience larger improvements in eating disorder symptomatology 6 weeks into treatment, 10-12 weeks into treatment, and at discharge (compared to admission), and as compared to those receiving psychoeducation-oriented adjunctive treatment. Patients who receive motivation-oriented adjunctive treatment will report higher satisfaction with treatment, stronger feelings of motivation to recover, and will be more likely to complete the program as compared to those receiving psychoeducation-oriented adjunctive treatment.
Stigma is a significant concern for those who experience psychosis. People with psychosis are the most stigmatised group of all mental health difficulties. There is a lack of research examining the effectiveness of psychological therapies for people who experience psychosis who are also experiencing negative impacts of stigma. To date, all studies examining stigma therapies have been conducted with outpatients and no support have been developed for inpatients. The aim of this study to conduct a pilot randomised controlled trial of a brief therapy (based on cognitive behavioural therapy)to help participants cope with stigma. It will be compared to a educational control intervention. Both therapies will last approximately two hours and be conducted in one or two sessions by the principal investigator (clinical psychologist). Participants will be given a number of questionnaires assessing a number of outcomes such as impacts of stigma, depression, recovery, and self-esteem. Participants will be assessed on these measure prior to the therapy, post therapy and at follow-up.
