Filter by:This randomised control trial aims to determine the efficacy of a two-week, online compassionate imagery intervention on improving veterinarian mental wellbeing. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive the intervention immediately or after a 10-week study period. Self-report questionnaires will be used at four time points to measure change on a range of psychological variables.
Stress and rumination are linked with the development of many mental disorders. The ECOSTRESS study has shown that poor OSCE performance has a positive effect on the occurence of state-rumination among 4th year medicine students in the context of mock exams. The goal of IMSR study is to assess the effectiveness of a post-OSCE meditation intervention to decrease psychological stress and rumination.
Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a newly implemented evaluation standard for medical student and is a determinant part of the national competition they have to undergo. Medical studies, especially during examen period, are significantly associated with risk of developping depressions or anxious trouble, wich led to lesser performance, impaired memorization and impaired workload capacities. Relaxation breathing techniques coupled with heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback and meditation are procedures used to reduce the stress level. There is currently no study on the effect of stress management procedures on the performance during OSCE for medical student.
In the United States, people of color (POC) are disproportionally affected by stressors related to race/ethnicity compared with their non-Latinx White (NLW). Considering POC exposed to race-related stress are at high risk of developing a mental health disorder, there is a clear need for treatments that allow individuals to cope effectively with these stressors. Among many evidence-based treatments available, mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) may be particularly well suited to help POC cope. MBIs are hypothesized to be effective via increases in mindfulness and self-compassion, as well as reductions in experiential avoidance, rumination, and emotion suppression. Despite their effectiveness, MBIs rarely reach POC. As such, innovative strategies such as self-directed app-based intervention may reduce the treatment gap. Considering the lack of research examining the effectiveness of MBIs among POC, especially those who experience elevated levels of race-related stress, this study will employ a randomized control trial (RCT) approach to examine whether receiving an app-based MBI engages the hypothesized mechanisms of change (i.e., mindfulness, self-compassion, experiential avoidance, rumination, emotion suppression) among POC. Similarly, the study will test whether the intervention leads to decreases in the negative mental health outcomes more often associated with exposure to race-related stress (i.e., stress, anxiety, depression). Acceptability, adherence, and satisfaction also will be analyzed to explore whether a non-culturally adapted MBI is still relevant for POC who face race-related stress. Results from this trial will contribute to the nascent data on MBI acceptability and effectiveness with POC. To the investigators' knowledge, this study will also be the first to include a sample of POC recruited based on elevated levels of race-related stress, a high-risk population that is not commonly targeted in MBI research.
This project seeks to understand if a new self-help mobile phone application (called MyMoodCoach) is effective at reducing worry and overthinking, prominent risk factors that predict reduced well-being and poor mental health. As a primary outcome, the investigators are predicting that people who use the app will report more significant reductions on measures of overthinking than those who do not. The investigators also predict that people who use the app will report more significant reductions in measures of worry as well as reported symptoms of depression and anxiety. Further, it is predicted that people who use the app will report a significantly higher increase in their well-being compared to those who do not.
Anxiety that turns into an over-generalized and repetitive form is called rumination. When the literature was reviewed, rumination was found to be associated with depression and anxiety, but its applicability to physical activity (PA) behaviors has been largely overlooked. Only a few studies have examined the relationship between rumination and PA behaviors. The study was designed with the aim of determining the Turkish cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the "Physical Activity-Specific Rumination Scale for Children (PARS-C)" questionnaire developed for children in England in order to determine the intrinsic factors affecting participation in PA.
Teen participants (ages 13-17) will be randomly assigned to either an experimental (the Happify Teens digital platform), or a waitlist control group. The study includes an 8-week intervention period and a 1-month follow up period.
Some fibromyalgia patients may use inappropriate emotional regulation strategies to respond to pain. Rumination could be one of this inefficient regulation strategies. The investigators believe that the use of rumination strategies to respond to the discomfort of daily physical activity would maintain and aggravate a negative emotional state after the effort. Distraction would be a more effective strategy to cope with pain. From this data, the investigators want to explore the causal link between rumination and negative affectivity after physical activity in fibromyalgia using an experimental design.
This study proposes: to evaluate 1) whether the combination of virtual reality (VR) and active tDCS provides better rumination attenuation than the combination of VR and tDCS placebo 2) the acceptability and experiential experience of combining these two well known medical devices.
Rumination syndrome is a condition in which people repeatedly and unintentionally regurgitate undigested or partially digested food from the stomach, rechew it, and then either re-swallow it or spit it out. The mechanism of the disease is not well understood. The investigators believe that discomfort in the stomach during and immediately after meals may be an important factor for this disease. The reason for such discomfort can be due to an alteration of nervous regulation of the stomach. The investigators can study the nervous regulation that affects the stomach and other parts of the body by analysing in detail an electrocardiogram that is performed continuously for several hours. From this analysis, The investigators can study a parameter called cardiac vagal tone (CVT). Diaphragmatic breathing (DiaB) is a respiratory exercise, in which people mainly move their abdomen to breath. DiaB is a common treatment for rumination syndrome. Patients doing DiaB can reduce the number of rumination episodes. The mechanism by which DiaB improves rumination is unknown. There is another type of breathing called slow deep breathing (SlowDB), in which people mainly breathe with their chest. SlowDB is used as a therapy for increased pain in the food pipe (oesophagus) and it might also be effective on rumination syndrome. The investigators believe that both DiaB and SlowDB can improve rumination, by modifying the nervous control of the stomach (that the investigators can monitor by measuring continuously cardiac vagal tone (CVT)). The aims of the study are to investigate the association between gastric discomfort during a meal, CVT variations (measured with the electrocardiogram during the meal) and the severity of rumination episodes. The investigators will also study how DiaB and SlowDB can modify this variable during the test. In a second step, The investigators will assess the clinical effect of respiratory exercises (DiaB and SlowDB) on the severity and frequency of regurgitations in patients diagnosed with rumination syndrome. Method This research consists of two separate studies. 1. Study1 (to investigate the mechanism of rumination syndrome) 10 healthy volunteers and 10 rumination patients will join Study1 on 3 separate days. On each visit, the investigators will place electrocardiogram sensors and a belt that can measure the thorax or abdominal movement. All subjects will get instructions to perform SlowDB or DiaB, answer some questionnaires, eat the test meal, perform normal breathing/DiaB/SlowDB for 15 minutes, and stay quietly on the chair for 3 hours. 2. Study 2 (to assess the effect of DiaB and SlowDB on rumination syndrome) 10 patients with rumination syndrome will join Study 2. On the first visit, subjects will have the test meal, answer the symptom questionnaire 1 hour after the meal, and learn how to perform either DiaB or SlowDB. After the first visit, subjects perform DiaB or SlowDB during 15 minutes after every meal for 4 weeks. On the second visit, subjects will have the test meal, answer the symptom questionnaire 1 hour after the meal, and learn how to perform the other respiratory exercise. After a 2-week break, subjects will perform the other respiratory exercise for the next 4 weeks. On the last visit, subjects will have the test meal and answer the symptom questionnaire 1 hour after the meal.
