It is hypothesised to find that the new mindfulness intervention of Mindfulness Based Swinging Technique (MBST) for Women With Breast Cancer is an effective therapeutic intervention to be applied in breast cancer population. This intervention intended to support patients' management of their chronic illness (self-efficacy) by increasing their hope about their treatment and alleviate anxiety, as well as increase patient saturation level. Therefore, enabling patients to continue to their medical as well as psychological treatment will result improved anxiety, stress levels, hope and self-efficacy. It is known that mental health needs of cancer patients differ from people who do not suffer from a chronic illness.
The aim of this study is to study the effectiveness of interprofessional advanced cardiac life support (IP-ACLS) training in improving collaborative skills, self-efficacy and emotion regulation among fourth-year nursing students using a prospective, open-label, non-randomized controlled design. The investigators hypothesized that students who participated in the IP-ACLS training are more likely to have better: 1. collaborative skills 2. self-efficacy 3. emotion regulation.
The aim of the study is to design and pilot the effect of a complex intervention to support mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy and professional self-efficacy to support breastfeeding families, considering breastfeeding as a health promoting behavior. Specific objectives are the evaluation of feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, and estimate the preliminary effect on maternal and professional self-efficacy.
Parents and education staff who work with children with intellectual disabilities (ID) are known to be at a higher risk of experiencing psychological distress. This study evaluates whether a therapeutic group for parents and education staff who work with children with ID is effective in reducing psychological distress and if so, how it does this and who it works for. The group will include two components: an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) section and a section about positive behaviour support (PBS). ACT is a psychological therapy, the aim of which is to help people to live their lives based on what matters to them, whilst learning new ways of managing difficult thoughts and feelings. The PBS section aims to help participants to learn how to use positive strategies to reduce challenging behaviour. Both interventions have been shown to be effective on their own, but this study will examine if combining the two is helpful. Parents of children with ID and education staff who work closely with children with ID attending chosen schools or learning disability child and adolescent mental health services in NHS Lothian will be invited to participate in the study. The group will take place on three half days. Participants will complete questionnaires on the first and last day of the group and six weeks after it has finished. The questionnaires will be about psychological distress, confidence in caring for children with ID and seeing if the group changed how they cope with thoughts and feelings. Participants will also be invited to a focus group, which will think about if the intervention was helpful, and if so how it helped. If the group is effective, the investigators would hope to research the intervention in more depth with the aim of it being offered more widely in the future.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of three, brief (10-minute) theory-guided video chats for increasing self-efficacy for lifestyle physical activity versus a time-matched video chat comparison group designed to increase self-efficacy for work-life balance. Participants will include individuals who are low-active, full-time (>35 hours/week) working adults.
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a 12-week jump rope exercise program on body composition, blood pressure, insulin resistance, and academic self-efficacy in prehypertensive adolescent obese girls. Forty-eight prehypertensive adolescent obese girls participated in this study. The girls were randomly divided into the jump rope exercise intervention group (EX, n=24) and control group (CON, n=24). The EX group performed a jump rope training program at 40-70% of their heart rate reserve (HRR) 5 days/week for 12 weeks (sessions 50 minutes in duration). The CON group did not participate in any structure or unstructured exercise protocol. Blood pressure, body fat percentage, waist circumference, blood glucose and insulin, homeostatic model assessment - insulin resistance, and Academic Self-Efficacy were measured before and after the 12-weeks study.
The proposed randomized study evaluates whether a controlled breathing intervention could be efficacious for reducing pain in the MRI-guided breast biopsy setting. Support for this intervention stems from experimental and clinical studies on the effects of controlled breathing on pain. Implementing a controlled breathing intervention during MRI-guided breast biopsy has the potential to provide effective pain management in this outpatient setting. The primary study objectives are to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a novel audio-recorded controlled breathing intervention for reducing breast and body pain in women undergoing MRI-guided breast biopsy. The secondary study objectives are to evaluate the effects of controlled breathing on measures of physiological reactivity (i.e., blood pressure and heart rate), pain catastrophizing, and self-efficacy for pain and anxiety.
This cross-sectional, anonymous online survey aims to examine how salient variables influence PTSS, well-being, and suicidal ideation across the following professions of rescue workers: firefighters, ambulance personnel, police officers, and emergency and psychiatric nurses. PTSS, coping strategies, well-being, suicidal ideation, previously experienced and work-related trauma, and self-efficacy were measured and analyzed using multiple regression and structural equation modeling.
The purpose of this research is to study the efficacy of an intervention that could interrupt the cycle of emotion dysregulation as it relates to cravings and negative emotions for those with problematic substance use behaviors. This will be a quantitative randomized control trial study with data collection at three points: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and same-day follow up. This study will be conducted at the Inova Behavioral Health Merrifield Center. Inova's addictions services program is the CATS program (formerly comprehensive addiction treatment services), which provides therapeutic interventions for those managing substance use disorders. The focus of measurement will be about the current state of the participant, and not a cumulative status. This one-session intervention. The goal is to have 96 participants in the study, 48 in each of the two groups.
