Filter by:A qualitative design using the thematic analysis method is proposed to answer the research question "What is the patient care provider's experience of PEACE rounds?" By establishing salient themes pertaining to the experience and identifying the most significant variables, the study results will also contribute to more generalizable quantitative studies. This information can be used to inform best practice in the standardization and delivery of modified PEACE Rounds.
This study assesses differences in biological and behavioral domains that relate to individual adaptation and resiliency to an isolated, confined and controlled environment, and evaluates the effect of confinement, work, monotony, and social and physical isolation on stress resiliency and well-being.
This research study will examine the effects of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique on academic physician burnout, depression, insomnia, perceived stress, and resilience through a mixed methods approach.
This research program aims to investigate the implementation and effects of a theoretical promising prevention method developed in a European research collaboration within a Comenius project (2012-2015) between 6 European universities (in Malta, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Portugal and Sweden) with the purpose of enhancing European children's resilience. RESCUR in Sweden is a RCT study of the Resilience Curriculum (RESCUR) that is taking place in Sweden 2017-2019. The Swedish name is "Jag vill, jag kan, jag törs!". The study is performed by Junis, IOGT-NTO's Junior Association, in conjunction with researchers at Göteborg, Umeå and Stockholm Universities and is being funded by the Public Health Agency of Sweden. Around, 1,000 children of the ages 7-12 will, through their schools and associations, or via groups in social services, be made acquainted with the material The children will learn and practice Mindfulness activities, storytelling activities, group discussions and much more, all designed to strengthen protective factors and increase their resilience. The program also involves parents taking part in the work to reinforce children's protective factors. Based on the work with groups of children, an effectiveness study including at children aged 7-12 in school classes, with randomized and controlled pre- and post-measurements, self-rating questionnaires and group observations takes place. The program will also be implemented in a non-governmental organization and in groups in social services. The study also investigates the forms of implementation
Early life stress (ELS) is associated with a number of psychiatric and medical conditions later in life, thought to be caused by subsequent disruptions in biological processes involved in regulation of stress responses. Given that these alterations have long-lasting effects, there is a great need for effective preventative interventions. The long-term goal of this project is to identify early interventions that may most powerfully mitigate risk for psychiatric illness among adolescents with exposure to early life stress (ELS), with a focus on interventions that can be widely and effectively implemented, have the potential for long-lasting benefits, and can effectively engage targeted neurobiological processes and networks. The specific aims of the present study are to 1) examine how ELS impacts biological processes associated with regulation of stress, and 2) identify how MBI impacts affective symptoms and biological processes dysregulated by ELS. This study supports the efforts to reduce the effects of early adversity in children by testing an impact of an effective psychological intervention on disrupted biological processes caused by early adversity. Successful achievement of the proposed aims will contribute to a) the knowledge base needed to reduce the effects of trauma and stress in children and families and b) the development of easily implemented and disseminated preventative interventions. The proposed study will utilize a multi-method design to examine the effect of mindfulness on biological processes (i.e., stress responses) disrupted by exposure to ELS among adolescents age 13 to 15. Adolescents will first complete self-report measures of childhood adverse experiences, trauma, and neglect. Forty eligible adolescents will be next randomly assigned to either an eight session mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention for teens or no treatment. Pre- and post-intervention assessment will include (a) self-report measures of symptoms and emotion regulation, (b) a blood draw for assessment of inflammatory markers and gene expression, and (c) a stress task with saliva cortisol collected before and after this task.
This project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness training (MT) on cognitive and psychological factors when incorporated to the duty-day schedule of servicemembers (via proctored mindfulness practice). Based on prior literature, it can be hypothesized that the benefits of MT on measures of attention, working memory, and psychological well-being will be greater for servicemembers who engage in proctored mindfulness practice and receive duty-day support compared to servicemembers who practice independently, on their own time, with no structured duty day support.
Background: Resilience is important for successful adaptation. The investigators' resilience intervention was effective in enhancing resilience, emotional functioning, and adaptation in Mainland immigrants. In the present proposal, the investigators will work with the International Social Service to scale up application of this intervention in immigrants, and develop the training infrastructure to ensure that the evidence-based intervention can be sustained despite turnover of interventionists. Objectives: 1. We will conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare the resilience intervention with the resilience + information intervention (a compound module) among 200 new immigrants, 2. The resilience intervention will enhance participants' resilience by 5%, and decrease their depressive symptoms by 20% and adaptation difficulties by 10% after the completion of the intervention, 3. The resilience + information intervention will have higher increases in resilience and more decreases in depressive symptoms and adaptation difficulties compared to the resilience intervention, and 4. To establish a sustaining mechanism which ensures that these two interventions can continue to be used in routine services. Project design: Well-trained social workers will deliver the intervention. Participants will complete programme evaluation. A train-the-trainer workshop and training materials will be prepared to transfer knowledge to social workers who are future trainers.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a 6-week writing to heal seminar/workshop/class, Transform Your Life: Write to Heal, raises resilience scores as measured by the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale for people who have recently experienced an emotional or physical trauma. Eligible subjects will be adults who self-identify as having had a recent emotional upheaval or physical health challenge. Potential subjects will be recruited through the use of flyers, advertisements, and emails to the Duke Integrative Medicine email list. Subjects will complete pen and paper measures at baseline and immediately post-treatment, including: the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale, The 20-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, the 22-item Rumination Response Scale, and a baseline questionnaire. The investigators aim to target a sample of 30 completers by enrolling 37 participants. The risks of participation in this study are minimal, and include temporary sadness after the initial writing experience.
Hypothesis: Relaxation Response training is an effective intervention in reducing the prevalence and severity of burnout and its components from baseline levels among physicians receiving the training intervention. The intervention is hypothesized to moderate the relationship between Areas of Worklife (AWS) and burnout by improving physician's ability to cope with the demands of their workplace. This increased coping ability is hypothesized to reduce burnout. Physician practices are as unique as the individual practitioners and the environment in which they practice. Traditional instruction of relaxation or self-care techniques has required participants to travel to locations remote from the workplace. The time commitment required for this behavior is additive to the time required to learn the intervention and of itself may induce extra stress increasing the potential for burnout. This study proposes that bringing the intervention to the workplace will increase provider willingness to participate and diminish the stress introduced by deployment of the intervention. Since inpatient and outpatient medicine have different practice characteristics and demands on the time of the practitioners, this study will need to develop and test the logistics necessary to bring the training to the different physician populations.
To determine if physicians who complete brief tasks intended to promote meaning in work and job satisfaction, foster teamwork and social support at work, nuture personal relationships and work-life balance, recognize and build on personal strengths, encourage effective problem solving, and promote positive emotions have improved resilience, meaning in work, and engagement at work.
