Filter by:Primary goal of the research is to determine whether injury/illness occurrence is influenced by the academic, training and competition loads, as well as the overall load (sum of academic/work, training and competition loads) in elite handball athletes To examine whether subjective measures of perceived overall stress correlate with objectively measured levels of stress. Determine the benefits of certain biomarkers to monitor stress, load and injury/illness occurrence in athletes.
This study aimed to determine the psychosocial effects of exercise training in patients with rotator cuff tears.
This cluster-randomized hybrid type-II implementation superiority trial will include 14 rural primary care facilities in Madhya Pradesh, which will implement a collaborative depression care packaged based on the WHO mhGAP program. These 14 facilities will be randomized to receive either 'Enhanced Implementation Support' or the existing 'Routine Implementation Support' control condition to determine if Enhanced Implementation Support is superior to Routine Implementation Support for ensuring successful implementation of the depression care package. Enhanced Implementation Support consists of remote coaching support and technical assistance. The primary implementation outcome is the proportion of outpatients screened on the PHQ-2 by facility staff. Secondary implementation outcomes will also be collected, including the number of depression cases identified, number of patients with depression referred to the medical officer, number of patients referred to an accepted treatment intervention (i.e., either antidepressant medication or brief psychological intervention), and number of patients who successfully complete treatment at follow up. Secondary patient outcomes will also be collected from patients enrolled in each arm. Patient-level outcomes include the proportion of patients who achieve remission (defined as PHQ-9<5) at 3-month follow up. Additional patient-level outcomes include symptoms of anxiety and functioning. This trial will develop and test an Enhanced Implementation Support strategy for integrating evidence-based mental health services into primary care facilities. Findings from the trial will inform the need to have external coaching for primary care facilities to meet their depression screening and treatment goals, or if they can achieve these goals via routine system support. This is crucial to inform policymakers, due to severe constraints on mental health budgets for programs in India. Findings can generate insights to inform the scale-up of depression care across other districts in Madhya Pradesh and in India.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of an education outside the classroom (EOtC) intervention on adolescents' physical activity, school motivation, academic achievement, and wellbeing. The study will also investigate which pedagogical and didactical elements of EOtC are important to achieve more physical activity, school motivation, and wellbeing.
This is a prospective, assessment-based study to examine the relationship between psychophysiological functioning and psychological symptoms in youth newly diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) compared to healthy controls.
The #KindGirlsInACTion project started in 2017 and developed and implemented a psychotherapeutic intervention program in Portuguese female adolescents. This program aimed to improve the overall quality of life and well-being of the participants, and specifically to promote a qualitative improvement in body image and interpersonal relationships, through the promotion of self-compassion, compassion and psychological flexibility. #KindGirlsInACTion is a school-based program, with 9 sessions over 9 weeks. It is essentially practical and interactive, with exercises created specifically for the program, as well as the regular practice of mindfulness.
The primary objective of this study is to collect insights from first responders and military personnel on their need for, use of, and interest in physical and/or mental health medical marijuana or psychedelic-assisted therapy programs. These preliminary data will help to inform and guide the development of a larger patient-oriented study and the design of a clinical program geared towards enhancing therapy treatments for first responders and military personnel.
This project aims to assess if food choice is impacted by loss aversion (LA), and if this differs based on genetic predisposition to LA, in a UK healthy cohort.
Objective: To establish whether the pilot online hypnosis design was well received by women with persistent pelvic pain and worthy of a full randomised control trial To establish whether hypnosis improves mental health outcomes, including anxiety, depression, life impact and catastrophizing, in women with chronic pelvic pain conditions.
Backgroup/relevance: Overweight and obesity, defined by a respective body mass index of above 25 and 30 kg/m2, are getting increasingly common in all regions of the world. Obesity is currently estimated to be present in more than 10% of the global population while overweight roughly reached an estimate of 40% in 2016. Overweight dramatically increases the risk for a wide range of disorders such as diabetes mellitus and other metabolic and cardiovascular disorders subsumed under the term metabolic syndrome, increasing the risk for life-threatening cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Similar to other chronic diseases such as mental health disorders, prescribing medication was oftentimes insufficient and should be complemented by patient empowerment to reach sufficient treatment adherence and control of lifestyle factors. Thereby, overweight and obesity can easily be challenged by patients themselves without pharmacological intervention. Overweight may place central in the crossroad between metabolic and mental health for several reasons. Excessive body fat is known to cause subclinical inflammation that was also associated with many psychiatric disorders such as major depression. Similarly, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis relevant for stress response was shown to be dysregulated in both metabolic and mental health disorders. Study design: In this study, non-pharmacological interventions are applied in healthy women with overweight or obesity and self-perceived psychological stress. Women staying at the "la pura" women´s health resort (www.lapura.at/) are invited to partake in the study and receive a short-term intervention of calory restriction. Thereby, either F.X. Mayr or very-low-calory-diet (VLCD) will be applied, reducing calory intake to 700-800 kcal/die. Following random assigment to four treatment arms, half of the women also receive a 7-session clinical-psychological intervention consisting of biofeedback, individualized psycho-education on stress prevention and mindlessness training. Women are assessed at baseline and after two weeks of interventions for metabolic parameters such as insulin functioning, anthropometric parameters such as body weight and body fat, blood parameters such as sex hormones, fat metabolism and liver function, parameters of neuroplasticity such as brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), as well as psychological and biological stress correlates and mental health symptom dimensions.
