Filter by:This study evaluates whether a brief psychological intervention, known as a self-affirmation intervention which works by allowing one to recognise their own value, can improve well-being. This study also evaluates whether more of these interventions will lead to greater increases in well-being, and also measures self-esteem and anxiety to examine their potential involvement in the self-affirmation process. Participants are randomly assigned to either a self-affirmation intervention group, a 'booster' self-affirmation group whereby they receive the intervention twice, or a control group (no intervention). Participant's well-being, self-esteem and anxiety are assessed at baseline (before the intervention), 1 week, and 2 weeks after the intervention. It is hypothesised that those who undergo self-affirmation will have more improved levels of well-being than those who do not; those who undergo the self-affirmation twice will have the most improved levels of well-being. It is also hypothesised that self-esteem and state anxiety will be involved in the self-affirmation process and potentially mediate the effects of self-affirmation on well-being.
REMEDRUGBY's objective is to strengthen the capacity of users to interact with others in an assertive way and to fight against stigma. It proposes to specifically target the processes of "social cognition". "Social cognition" brings together the mental mechanisms that allow everyone to decipher the social situations, emotions and intentions of others and interact with others in the different contexts of everyday life. People with a psychic handicap frequently have difficulties in this area, which has often important consequences for their social and professional integration. The REMEDRUGBY program proposes to work specifically on these processes in the context of sport (+ role Play and blog) to strengthen the ability to interact with others and to deal with the stigma that can be encountered on a daily basis.
It is recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' Committee on Obstetric Practice that all obstetricians screen each women for postpartum depression and anxiety with a validated instrument. Although much effort is made, the contributing factors still lack in the literature due to its multi-factorial nature and complexity. In addition, the effects of prenatal education classes remain understudied. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate the prevalence, characteristics and contributing factors of the postpartum depression. In addition, the change in prevalence and characteristics of the postpartum depression among women who had prenatal classes and not will also be assessed.

Approximately 17% of US children have obesity resulting in significant childhood co-morbidities and increased lifetime risk of adult obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Guidelines recommend intensive lifestyle programs as first-line treatment, yet few pediatric practices are equipped to provide this. Clinical-community partnerships are well-positioned to address this care gap. This proposal aims to assess whether a community-delivered lifestyle program offered in adjunct to primary care obesity management is feasible, acceptable, effective, and easily implemented in a rural care setting. In this study, approximately 40 children aged 7-13 years old and their caregiver pairs will be recruited from a primary care pediatric clinic. Child-adult dyads will participate in a 24-week program that includes 2 phases, a 12-week usual care phase and a 12-week intervention phase. The intervention phase will include bi-weekly meetings of a community intensive lifestyle program which focuses on healthy diet, daily physical activity, self-esteem and support for individual and family behavior change. A mixed-methods approach using qualitative interviews and study questionnaires, combined with objective measures of adiposity and fitness will assess study outcomes.
Female survivors of domestic violence (DV) may exhibit various mental health problems. A variety of psychotherapies are available to improve their mental health, however there is uncertainty on which is the best. In Colombian, national guidelines do not mention which therapy should be used and in practice, psychologists use their preferred approaches. Due to the shortage of psychotherapy appointments, patients wait a long time to initiate treatment and for each subsequent appointment. Furthermore, patients with mental health problems often fail to attend their appointments and often drop-out of their psychotherapy. This study will offer an alternative intervention that is hypothesized to be superior to normal patient care in Colombia. It will be conducted in Cali and Tuluá, which have high levels of DV, internally displaced conflict victims and large socioeconomic inequalities. Psychologists and trained Lay Psychosocial Community Workers (LPCWs) will work together to provide a cognitive-behavioral intervention (CBI) for female survivors of DV, which is a therapy that aims to change the way people think and behave. Each woman will be offered 11 weekly sessions which will be shared between a psychologist and a LPCW. The LPCW will assign tasks to the patients which have been set by the psychologist and will assist participants to attend their appointments. The study´s hypothesis is: 1) A psychologist led CBI with LPCW support is superior to standard psychotherapy care in Colombian health services to improve mental health symptoms of female survivors of DV. Patients will be recruited from health services and will be randomly assigned to either the standard psychotherapy or the CBI with LPCW support (intervention group). In the standard psychotherapy group, patients will receive psychotherapy approximately every four weeks, depending on demand, and will have as many sessions as they require. In the intervention group, patients will be offered eleven weekly CBI sessions. Mental health questionnaires will be used to measure the study participants' mental health symptoms, their functionality, experience of DV and other forms of violence. In the intervention group, these questionnaires will be applied before initiating psychotherapy, two weeks and six months after completing their psychotherapy. Patients in the control group will have questionnaires applied before commencing psychotherapy and fourteen weeks and twenty-two weeks after starting.

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in Brazil, and its treatment, namely surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or hormone therapy, has consequences and side effects that significantly affect the quality of life and associated physical and psychological factors. The practice of physical activity, in turn, may play a beneficial role in these factors, and help the recovery of the patient in relation to the consequences of the treatments. Two types of physical activity can be addressed in the context of breast cancer; Dance and the Pilates method. Thus, the objective of the present study will be to analyze the impact of Pilates practice and dance on quality of life and on psychological and physical factors in patients undergoing adjuvant treatment of breast cancer. Patients older than 18 years who are in adjuvant treatment, namely, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and / or hormone therapy at the Oncology Research Center - CEPON, will be invited to be part of the study. With a randomized clinical trial of three arms, the patients will be submitted to 16 weeks of intervention, and randomized in 3 groups: (A) belly dance protocol group; (B) Pilates method protocol group, and (C) control group who will continue with their routine activities. Sample randomization will be conducted in confidence by one of the researchers in a specific computer program. Information about personal and clinical characteristics, quality of life, psychological factors (depressive symptoms, body image, self-esteem, optimism, perceived stress, fatigue, pain, sexual function and sleep quality) and physical factors (cardiorespiratory fitness, balance , Posture, upper limb functionality and presence of lymphedema). All information will be collected before and after the intervention period. Statistical analysis will use the statistical package SPSS - IBM, version 20.0. Firstly, descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation and percentage) will be used in order to know the data, and then the Anova two way test with repeated measurements and Sydak Comparison Test, in order to analyze the data. Groups of the Pilates method, of the dance and control group. Significance level of 5%.
The aim of the present single-blind randomized-controlled therapy study is to assess the efficacy of a new form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for delusions with a focus on emotion regulation, improvement of self-esteem and sleep quality (CBTd-E).
Evaluating the impact of probation on probationers is necessary for both effective practice of probation officers and their assessment of the success of their work. At present, there are limited studies that have evaluated the impact of probation services on probationers and their family. There are even fewer studies that have examined interventions on probationers' well-being and family relations in a Chinese society. Compared with the general population, probationers are associated with poorer mental (e.g., depression, lower levels of self-esteem, high level of stress) and physical health, and often experience higher levels of family conflict, and poorer quality of family relationships. Given the vulnerabilities, there is a need to strengthen and promote healthy lifestyle and enhance individual and family well-being among probationers. As part of the FAMILY project, the current study focuses on "FAMILY Holistic Health" which emphasizes a comprehensive approach to improving physical, mental, and social health and well-being. This project will be conducted as a pilot project in the Social Welfare Department (SWD) in the Eastern District of Hong Kong. Interventions will be delivered to promote and enhance probationer's wellbeing, as well as enhancing FAMILY 3Hs (Happiness, Health, and Harmony). Training programs will be provided to probation officers and/or workers of SWD in order to equip them with knowledge and skills in implementing health-related family intervention programs.
