Filter by:This will be a multicenter prospective descriptive case series study following a cohort. The micropigmentation/tattoo procedure will be carried out following the protocol established in each center (see annex x). The present investigation only involves measuring the impact that this technique has on the patients by collecting data in digital format before and after the CAP micropigmentation/tattoo that motivated their visit to the clinical service. CAP micropigmentation/tattooing is usually performed between 6 and 12 months after the breast reconstructive surgery has been completed, sufficient time for healing to complete and the breast to stabilize, although it can be performed from 2 months after the intervention. Nurses are responsible for performing micropigmentation/tattooing of the areola and nipple in mastectomized women.
The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate COMET-Y in 22 adolescents (11-18 years) with various mental health problems and low self-esteem. The main questions is: Does COMET-Y, parallel to care as usual (CAU), improve self-esteem? Before and after the training participants fill in questionnaires to measure self-esteem, mental health problems, resilience, quality of life, emotions and individual goals. Some of the outcomes are measured through diary methods. Youth and therapists will be assessed to evaluate feasibility and acceptability of the COMET-Y training.
The goal of this pilot project is to test for initial efficacy of the Recovery & Care Canine-Assisted Therapy program that has been developed and implemented in Lawrence Hall, a Chicago-based residential treatment center for maltreated youth. In this study, the investigators test the feasibility, acceptability, and short-term efficacy of expanding the program to a group of youth currently in outpatient treatment for social, emotional, and behavioral problems. Results from this project will provide preliminary evidence of whether a structured, goal-oriented intervention program focused on dog training activities has direct impact on increasing youth emotional self-regulation, impulse control, and self-efficacy, which are important targets for intervention among youth with mental health problems. If successful, this project could lead to a larger, randomized control clinical trials study that tests the longitudinal impact of the program that could further lead to national dissemination of the Recovery & Care curriculum as an alternative therapeutic approach.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of an online brief standardized CBT intervention in women with PCOS. 1. To study if an online brief CBT intervention is effective for anxiety and depression compared to control (waiting-list) in patients with PCOS 2. To study if an online group-based brief CBT intervention is more effective for anxiety and depression compared to online individual brief CBT in patients with PCOS. 3. To determine if an online brief CBT intervention is effective for improvements in QoL, coping strategies, body image, and eating disorder symptoms compared to control (waiting-list) in patients with PCOS
Experiences of violence, from micro to physical aggressions, have a deleterious impact on mental health. According to the Minority Stress Theory, unfavorable social conditions (such as anticipated and experienced discrimination and internalized homophobia), mediated by resilience strategies, can lead to mental health or illness. Sexual and gender minorities (SGM) face stigma and discrimination aggravating multiple aspects of their lives: from school drop-out to halting health care access. SGM reveal avoiding medical assistance for fear of discrimination while health professionals disclose feeling unprepared to handle SGM health needs. There are two main challenges: 1) developing specific psychological interventions to reduce the impact of stigma and discrimination on SGM' mental health; and 2) training public health professionals to properly address SGM needs. Therefore, the present trial aims to assess the efficacy of a brief, self-guided, on-line, asynchronous and unsupervised psychological intervention in improving SGM' mental health.
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.
Is their a association between the objective and subjective severity of a malocclusion, quality of life and self-esteem/personality (as modifier between objective/subjective severity and quality of life (cfr study Agou et al., 2008) ? A second goal is to compare motivation and expectations and the objective and subjective severity of the malocclusion on the other hand.
