The concept of a digital detox, involving a deliberate reduction or elimination of digital device usage, has emerged as a potential strategy to mitigate the adverse effects of technology on mental and physical well-being. However, the specific effects of a structured digital detox program on psychological distress, psychosocial factors, menopause symptoms, and overall physical health in a community context remain underexplored. This study seeks to address this gap by conducting a real-world trial, examining the impact of a digital detox program tailored for women. By delving into the intricacies of how digital technology interacts with the unique challenges faced by women, this research aims to contribute valuable insights into the development of real-world-driven interventions that promote the holistic well-being of women in the digital age.

Stress-related disorders have over the last decade increased and contributed to a worldwide disease burden. At the same time there is limited treatment access for mental health disorders, which has left many people without necessary care. However, in recent years there has been a rise in digital mindfulness interventions. Specifically, these interventions have focused on smartphone-based applications as an effective format for mindfulness training programs. Thus, the goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effects of three types of mindfulness programs in a population with elevated stress. The three formats of mindfulness interventions are identical in total training duration but varies in content and intervention length. Specifically, the first intervention consists of programmatic mindfulness content that progress over the course of 30 sessions with a duration of 10 min per session. The second intervention consists of single succinct breathing exercises with no programmatic content over the course of 30 sessions with a duration of 10 min per session. The third intervention consists of mindfulness-based content specifically targeted to people with elevated stress that progress over the course of 20 sessions with a duration of 15 min per session. An active control group listening to an audiobook over the course of 30 sessions with a duration of 10 min per session will be employed and a passive control group. The study will evaluate outcomes related to subjective stress, sleep quality, mindfulness and physiological effects of stress using HRV.
To the knowledge of the investigators, the feasibility of an RCT assessing the use of positive cueing in an information video for patients undergoing primary TKA is currently unclear. The investigators conducted a feasibility study with the primary objective to assess the acceptability of the randomized controlled trial (RCT) procedure for participating patients. The secondary objective was to evaluate the rate of recruitment, the comprehensibility (do patients understand what is expected of them during the trial) and if there were any adjustments necessary to the design of the study. The outcome of the current feasibility study will be used to determine whether adjustments are required to the design of the RCT before we proceed.
This research study is being done to better understand how people experience stress in everyday life and how that stress may relate to sleep and physical activity. We are also testing stress management approaches that are intended to reduce stress responses in everyday life.
Virtual reality application, which is a non-pharmacological method, is used for different purposes in many different fields. One of the areas where virtual reality application is used is health services. Its use in the field of obstetrics is new. Virtual reality application is often in pregnancy; it is used to reduce pain, stress and anxiety levels, exercise training and train pregnant women to effectively manage their pain during childbirth. Although pregnancy is a normal physiological process, adverse situations may occur that can make every pregnancy risky. Threatened premature birth, which is called the onset of uterine contractions without cervical changes between the 20th and 37th weeks of pregnancy, is also among these risk groups. Pregnant women diagnosed with the threat of premature birth are usually treated by hospitalization. Psychological problems such as stress, fear and anxiety may develop in pregnant women who are on bed rest in the hospital. In these pregnant women, mother-infant attachment may also be adversely affected. Pregnant women who are hospitalized and taken to bed rest due to risky pregnancy need to be informed and supported by health personnel. The midwife's spending enough time with the pregnant woman, keeping in touch and meeting her needs increase satisfaction in terms of care. When the literature was examined, it was determined that pregnant women were satisfied with the virtual reality application and thus increased care satisfaction.
The fact that an individual has a physical, social or mental disability affects not only the individual, but also the close environment of the individual and even the society in which he lives. Those who are most affected by this situation in the society are undoubtedly the caregivers. Caregivers of individuals with disabilities experience more anxiety than other caregivers, spare less time for themselves, and participate in less physical and social activities. As a result of social, physical and emotional burdens on parents and other caregivers of disabled individuals, low quality of life, unhealthy family function and negative psychological conditions are observed in caregivers, especially stress. Problems related to financial situation, exclusion from social environment, psychological state, sense of burnout and educational status are among the other problems experienced by caregivers. The aim of this study; The aim of this study is to examine the effects of technology supported yoga applied to caregivers of individuals with special needs on care burden, quality of life and psychological well-being. Research data will be collected from the caregivers of individuals with special needs registered in a Guidance and Research Center in a province. The data of the study will be collected using the Socio-demographic Data Collection Form, the Caregiver Burden Scale, the Multidimensional Quality of Life Scale, and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. The study is in a randomized controlled design. SPSS 25.0 program will be used in the data analysis of the research. Descriptive data will be analyzed using number, percentage, mean, standard deviations. Spearman test will be applied to determine the correlations between the scale scores. of groups Homogeneity in terms of descriptive statistics will be analyzed with the Kolmogorov Smirnov Test. Student t or Mann Whitney U tests will be used to compare numerical data in two independent groups, and One-way ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis tests will be used for comparisons in more than two independent groups. Relationships between categorical variables will be tested with chi-square test and relationships between numerical variables will be tested with correlation coefficient. The significance level will be accepted as 0.05. The power and effect size of the study will be calculated by regression analysis.
Preventing pre-surgical stress can help patients achieve positive outcomes on health and well-being. However, very few patients receive adequate stress relief support prior to a surgical procedure. Provision of education and information about the surgery can be a crucial component of the preoperative experience and is inversely related to levels of preoperative anxiety. However, resource constraints make face-to-face education sessions untenable, given cost considerations and time investment by trained health personnel. Interventions based on mobile health (mHealth) technologies, geared towards increasing familiarity with surgical procedures and hospital environments have been shown to help patients feel informed about possible benefits and risks of available treatment options. mHealth apps and Virtual Reality (VR) can offer patients experience in the perioperative environment that can be helpful in empowering patients and enhancing a more positive experience, while reducing stress. However, available applications focus only on providing informative content, neglecting the importance of patient empowerment with a more robust educational curriculum. According to this, the Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) CARINAE, aims to support patients and caregivers during the whole perioperative process. SaMD CARINAE consists of an mHealth mobile application for patients and caregivers, a Virtual Reality headset for patients, and a web application for healthcare professionals.
