Filter by:The goal of this experimental study is to test the effects of Music Breathing (MB) in promoting a sense of coherence among young people. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of a MB programme on personal resources (i.e., SOC, coping self-efficacy, emotion regulation and mindfulness) compared with the control condition in young people? - What is the effect of a MB programme on stress reduction (i.e., depression, anxiety and stress, and salivary cortisol levels) compared with the control condition in young people? • • What is the effect of a MB programme on mental well-being compared with the control condition in young people? - What is the relationship between SOC, coping self-efficacy, emotion regulation and mindfulness? Participants will receive a MB programme in 6 weekly sessions and weekly home practice. The programme includes: - meditative breathing; - breathing with music listening; - drawing a mental image of the breathing practice; and - sharing and processing of the experience
This is a study on Metacognitive therapy in general practice in Norway. The intervention is a small pilot study to examine whether Metacognitive therapy is feasible in an ordinary general practice. Will the physicians be capable to learn and provide the therapy method for their patients with MUPS and is is possible to implement this in an ordinary general practice routine? Both physicians and their patients will be asked to respond to a questionnaire on perceived utility of the treatment.
Frailty is a condition of reduced the capacity in multiple body systems and causing adverse outcomes because of decreasing the ability to cope with stressors. Female sex, the changes of the body imposed by ageing, and coping strategies for stressors are causal mechanisms in the development of frailty. This project is designed with the salutogenic model that is focused on the concepts of health, stress, and coping. The aim of this project is to assess the effect of Salutogenic Frailty Prevention Program on promoting sense of coherence and preventing the development of frailty in women aged 55 years and over
This study determines the effectiveness of the interviewing based on salutogenic approach on the sense of coherence and resilience of people with schizophrenia. For this, while the intervention group was subjected to salutogenic approach-based interview consisting of 16 sessions twice a week. The control group continued their routine activities and was interviewed face-to-face 5 times.
Stroke is thought to cause disability immediately after stroke followed by a 3-to-6-month recovery period, after which disability levels are supposed to stabilize unless recurrent events occur. However, studies showed that post-stroke recovery is heterogeneous. While some stroke survivors quickly recover, others may show an accelerated accumulation of disability over time. The current prospective observational study will investigate trajectories of multidimensional functioning and self-rated health in the year after stroke. Particularly, the study aims to explore the relationship between trajectories of disability and self-rated health. Moreover, the study will focus on potential predictors of changes in disability and self-rated health, i.e., views on aging and psychological resilience. Patients will be recruited during their stay at the stroke unit and participate in a face-to-face interview and four follow-up telephone interviews in the post-stroke year.
Clinical supervision (CS) is a pragmatic approach, which enables nurses to work together; it can create a positive nursing environment, reduce stress, and increase clinical skills through peer support. Previous research has demonstrated its positive effects on nurses wellbeing, sense of coherence, and professional accountability. However, there is lack of evidence for its influence on cultural sensitivity. The Qatar National Health Strategy (Ministry of Public Health, 2018) and the Qatar National Mental Health Strategy (Supreme Council of Health, Qatar, 2013) have both given significant importance on building the health workforce capacity to meet the growing needs of the population. Aligning with these strategies, Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) Mental Health Service's Executive Committee has taken a decision to implement clinical supervision to develop a supporting framework to strengthen the professional skills of the nursing workforce. In order to implement it efficiently, guidelines and education curriculum have been developed. The aim of the study is to evaluate the implementation of CS. In addition, investigators will also explore the impact of clinical supervision on the work-related strain, sense of coherence, cultural sensitivity and the impact on patient care. A longitudinal approach will be adopted using pre and post-testing. The required power sample size is calculated to be 136 nurses. Enrolled participants will receive an educational programme regarding clinical supervision and will be requested to choose a supervisor based on their learning requirements. Through the clinical supervision process, supervisee self-reflection, facilitated by the supervisor. The supervisor will, in addition, enable opportunities for professional growth by the sharing of skills and knowledge in relation to particular clinical challenges. In addition, they will also provide opportunities for emotional restoration through the exploration of stressful issues that have occurred in the workplace. Participants will be scheduled to engage in one to one sessions with their supervisor once a month for an hour. The study will be conducted for 18 months (2 months for baseline data collection, 2 months for educational preparation, 12 months of intervention and lastly 2 months for post-intervention data collection) from the date of the participant's enrollment. The outcome measures include the sense of coherence, work-related strain, cultural sensitivity, the total number of nurse instigated Occurrence, Variance and Accident (OVA) initiated during the course of this study and the efficacy of clinical supervision sessions. Data will be collected before education sessions are delivered (baseline), at 6th month and at the 12th month. The investigators will use the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and STATA for analysis. The study may identify an effective way of reducing work-related strain and enhancing the sense of coherence, cultural sensitivity, and quality of patient care.
1. Objectives of the Project The BEYO project is designed based on the middle range theory of self-care of chronic illness and salutogenic theory. The aim of this project is to facilitate self-care behaviours of community-dwelling elderly patients with type 2 diabetes through promoting SOC, and accordingly improve their health outcomes, including promoting quality of life and reducing diabetes-related emotional distress. 2. Content of the Project BEYO is a group-based consultation project. Each group contains 1 facilitator, 1 assistant and 8 elderly patients. 5 weekly sessions are provided to let patients receive health knowledge, discuss problems and experiences, explore available resources and build up goals and solutions. Each session lasts for 40 minutes. Session 1 aims to build social network among group members and introduce group goals and tasks. Session 2-4 covers six topics based on the Chinese guideline for type 2 diabetes released by Chinese diabetes society: (i) healthy dietary, (ii) exercise and activity, (iii) taking medication, (iv) blood glucose monitoring, (v) reducing risks for complication, (vi) healthy coping with mental stress. These middle sessions execute a common session flow to construct an action plan utilizing patients' resources and strengths to achieve the client-centered goal. Session 5 aims to review the process, summarize effective solutions, and set up plans for the future. One-week, one-month and three-month telephone follow-ups are delivered to help patients solve problems encountered during implementing the action plan and evaluate their self-care, SOC and other health outcomes.
