Filter by:This proposed pilot randomised controlled trial aims to examine the effect of mobile health-delivered music breathing therapy in enhancing resilience, reducing psychological distress and caregiver strain, and improving the coping and quality of life of parental caregivers of children newly diagnosed with cancer.
This will be the first pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) study that investigate the potential effectiveness of individual PM+ among earthquake survivors residing in container cities in Türkiye. The primary objective of this pilot study will be to test feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of individual PM+ for Turkish earthquake survivors, using RCT design which is considered the gold standard in research for evaluating effectiveness of interventions. Secondly, this study aims to test trial procedures in preparation for a future larger randomized controlled trial.
The main goal of this project is to address several gaps in the current literature in an exploratory way, by generating data via a synthesized research design. There are three fields of research this project seeks to have a meaningful impact on: the digital implementation of systemic psychotherapy-informed principles and approaches into unguided self-help growth paths, the training of paraprofessional mental health service providers with systemic psychotherapy-informed listener training, and the utilization of paraprofessional mental health service providers in the delivery of online guided systemic psychotherapy-informed self-help interventions. This impact will be derived from addressing the following research questions: - Are online self-help interventions based on systemic psychotherapy approaches and principles feasible? - Are online self-help interventions based on systemic psychotherapy approaches and principles efficacious (as compared to a waitlist), indicated by mental-health-related outcomes of participants? - Is training of paraprofessionals in guiding the use of self-help interventions based on systemic psychotherapy approaches and principles feasible? - Is this training of paraprofessionals based on systemic psychotherapy approaches and principles efficacious (as compared to a waitlist), indicated by mental-health-related outcomes of trainees?
The objective of this study is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Flourish (formerly referred to as imHere4U), a digital suicide prevention intervention for cyberbullied adolescents. The specific aims are to: Aim #1: Conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing Flourish+Questionnaires vs. Questionnaires Alone among cyberbullied youth at-risk for suicide ages 12-17 (N=80, >35% underserved youth). H2a. Primary outcome: Feasibility will be evidenced by recruitment/retention rates > 80% and imHere4U engagement > 70%. H2b. Secondary outcomes: Youth assigned to Flourish+Questionnaires will report improved problem-solving capacity, distress tolerance, and motivation and reduced distress and suicidal ideation than youth assigned to Questionnaires Alone over the 6-month follow-up period. Exploratory Aim: Examine the feasibility of delivering feedback on online interactions from machine learning algorithms. All youth assigned to Flourish may optionally provide their social media data to receive feedback from machine learning algorithms. H3a. Feedback from algorithms will have high acceptability (identified via qualitative themes and >70% acceptance rates) and usability, defined by mean scores on Post-Study System and Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ) > 6.
The goal of this study is to test the ability of small grants and/or peer support to improve mental health among transgender people experiencing material hardship. The main questions the study will answer are: 1. Do microgrants with or without peer mentoring improve mental health? 2. Do microgrants with or without peer mentoring improve mental health by reducing material hardship and/or increasing a sense of community connection? Researchers will compare mental health outcomes among three groups of participants: A. Participants who receive one small grant and monthly financial education videos B. Participants who receive a small grant every month and monthly financial education videos for a total of 6 months. C. Participants who receive a small grant every month, peer mentoring support, and monthly financial education videos for a total of 6 months.
The proposed trial aims to assess the effectiveness of Cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) based ecological momentary intervention (EMI) for reducing insomnia symptoms among stroke caregivers.
The emotional and work changes of the staffs and the on-site counter staffs will have a certain impact during this pandemic period. Because a large number of critically ill patients are obstructive in emergency and critical care uint. It will induce a huge impact on the deployment of medical team manpower The purpose of this study is to understand the situation of emergency and intensive care unit personnel after covid-19 infection. It will help the hospital superintendent to understand the impact of emotional adjustment on its own work, understand the emotional situation of on-site personnel, future planning and r deployment.
The goal of this or clinical trial is to test in the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of the bright IDEAS problem solving skills training for parents of children in palliative care. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is bright IDEAS problem solving skills training feasible and acceptable for parents of children referred to pediatric palliative care? - Does bright IDEAS reduce psychological distress in parents compared to parents receiving standard palliative care support? Participants will: - Participate in 6-8 sessions of the bright IDEAS program. - Complete self report measures of psychological distress and well being. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare bright IDEAS to standard palliative care support.
Background: Terminally ill patients often experience significant psychosocial distress having depressed mood, death anxiety, pain, and an overall poor quality of life. Recent evidence from pilot studies suggests that serotonergic hallucinogens including lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin produce significant and sustained reductions of depressive symptoms and anxiety, along with increases in quality of life, and life meaning in patients suffering from life-threatening diseases. Additionally, serotonergic hallucinogens may produce antinociceptive effects. Objective and Design: The study aims to evaluate effects of LSD on psychosocial distress in 60 patients suffering from an end-stage fatal disease with a life expectancy ≥12wks and ≤2yrs in an active placebo-controlled double-blind parallel study. Patients will be allocated in a 2:1 ratio to one of the two intervention arms receiving either two moderate to high doses of LSD (100 µg and 100 µg or 100 µg and 200 µg) as intervention and two low doses of LSD (25 µg and 25 µg) as active-placebo control.
The overall goal of this study is to determine whether English-speaking adults who were discharged from an intensive care unit (ICU) at least one month ago and have some level of distress related to their ICU experience will be interested in, willing to use, and satisfied with a new mobile application (app) designed to help the user process a difficult memory. Participants must have internet access and a smartphone in order to use the app. The goal of the app is to help reduce the psychological distress associated with a memory by processing that memory at one's own pace with app guidance. Participants will be asked to use the app for 6 weeks at least 3 times a week for 30 or more minutes at a time. Participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires over a 12-week period. The investigators aim to test how possible and realistic it is for people who were hospitalized with a critical illness to voluntarily use this app to process relevant distressing memories of their hospitalization. The investigators hope that these results will inform the design of a larger trial that will be able to test if this app can reduce distress in this patient population, as the app may offer affordable and accessible help for some patients experiencing illness-related distress.
