Filter by:Mood disorders, such as depression and bipolar disorder, are difficult to treat. One reason is that there are no objective ways to measure how these disorders affect the body and respond to different treatments. In this study, researchers want to perform tests on people undergoing clinical care for mood disorders. The purpose is to understand the experience of receiving treatment for depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide risk. We also hope that this study will help us to predict which medications will improve thoughts of suicide. People 18 years or older who are receiving treatment for depression, bipolar disorder, or suicide risk may take part in this study. Participants must have also been enrolled in protocol 01-M-0254. This study will be conducted at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD. The study typically lasts up to 12 weeks, but may last longer if a participant s treatment continues past that time. Participants will have weekly interviews and questionnaires while they are being treated for their mood disorder. Other tests are optional and include psychological testing, blood draws, sleep tests, and imaging scans. These will be done at the start and the end of research participation....
Suicide and self-harm are global disease burden that contributes significantly to years of lost life and mortality.
The current study aims to evaluate the impact of long (>5 days) and/or compulsory psychiatric inpatient care on subsequent healthcare utilization for self-harm and suicide in people with borderline personality disorder, a condition characterized by frequent self-harm. The basis for this study is the diversity of clinical practices across Swedish regions. By categorizing clinics based on their practices with respect to long and/or compulsory psychiatric inpatient care, it is possible to explore the impact of these practices on subsequent somatic and psychiatric healthcare, including emergency care due to self-harm as well as on completed suicides. All psychiatric clinics across Sweden authorized to administer compulsory care for adults, totalling 78 clinics will be included. Each clinic per specific calendar year will represent one participant, identified by the clinic's name and the respective year (e.g., Umeå2010, Linköping2013, Malmö2022). Data collection will involve the utilization of the national registers to capture outcome measures and account for confounding factors. The participants will be ranked based on a composite variable, which includes the average number of days spent in inpatient compulsory care and other psychiatric inpatient care exceeding 5 days, among individuals diagnosed with BPD. The top quartile of participants will be compared with the bottom quartile.
The goal of this qualitative observational study is to explore the experiences of children and their carers, receiving occupational therapy for self-harm and the experiences of health professionals delivering these interventions. The child cohort within the study will have a history of self-harm and have been under the care of Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the experiences of children and their carers who have received occupational therapy interventions as either a standalone, or adjunct, treatment for self-harm, whilst under the care of Tier 4 CAMHS service. - What are the experiences of healthcare professionals delivering occupational therapy interventions working within a T4 CAMHS service. - To understand the participants views on whether occupational therapy interventions are a viable and effective approach to address self-harm amongst young people. Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire and take part in a single semi-structured interview. 25% of participants may be asked to take part in a further in depth semi-structured interview.
This Study will evaluate the implementation of a multi-component suicide prevention technology (Jaspr Health) that facilitates delivery of suicided-related evidence-based practices (EBPs) while replacing wasted waiting time with productive time in the Emergency Departments (EDs). The EBPs satisfy several key performance elements for systems adopting Zero Suicide. A Complementary Randomized Controlled Trial and Real-World Study for Efficacy, Effectiveness, and Implementation Study Design (CREID) will be used
The starting point of this project is to study young people and adolescents, aiming to explore the correlation between non-suicidal behavior of young people and adolescents and the negative emotional expression of their parents and family communication. The purpose of this project is to investigate the non-suicidal self-injury behavior of teenagers aged 15-25 years by issuing questionnaires (sample size: 327 people). In order to find out whether there is any connection between family communication and non-suicidal self-injury behavior of young people and adolescents.
Increasing rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors among adolescents must be addressed. The study will adapt and collect preliminary effectiveness data on a digital suicide prevention intervention that can be delivered in pediatric primary care settings by front line pediatricians. The study has the potential to offer a low-cost and scalable primary care intervention that may decrease risk of suicide among at-risk youth.
This is a mixed-methods study. The quantitative component will comprise of a multicentre rater-blind, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of AISHA in addition to treatment as usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone in Pakistan. In-depth interviews and focus groups with other stakeholders will take place to consider the wider implementation of AISHA in mental health services in Pakistan.
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) refers to the intentional destruction of one's own body tissue without suicidal intent and for purposes that are not socially sanctioned. While NSSI has been understudied among Veterans, the lifetime prevalence rate of NSSI in Veterans is approximately three times higher than the general population. Moreover, NSSI is associated with increased risk for violence, psychiatric distress, and marked impairment in psychosocial functioning. Even though NSSI is distinct from suicidal behaviors in several important ways, NSSI remains a strong predictor of a future suicide attempt. The primary goal of this project is to evaluate the treatment and acceptability of a brief intervention for NSSI that aims to reduce psychosocial impairment and NSSI behaviors in Veterans.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of integrating Brief Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (BCBT) counseling with a software application (app) to prevent future suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
