Filter by:The birth of a child is a major life event that can be filled with excitement, anticipation and joy. However, the transition and adaptation to new demands, roles, responsibilities, and changes in relationships can be stressful, especially for new mothers. In addition, new mothers typically encounter physiological changes and struggle with concerns about weight gain, body image, sexuality, and other physical difficulties such as fatigue. These problems may generate or exacerbate stress, lead to an actual or perceived crisis and psychological distress. Psychological distress, defined as anxiety, depression, and insomnia, in this study, often increases during the postpartum period and can negatively affect maternal mental health status, maternal and family relationships, and infant-child health. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) on anxiety, insomnia, depression, and maternal functioning in first time new mothers following childbirth.
Sleep disturbances frequently occur in elderly patients after major surgery; and their occurrence are associated with worse outcomes including increased incidence of delirium. Previous studies showed that, for elderly patients admitted to the ICU after non-cardiac surgery, low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion improved to some degree the quality of sleep and reduced the incidence of delirium. The investigators hypothesize that, for elderly patients after major non-cardiac surgery, dexmedetomidine supplemented analgesia can also improve the sleep quality. The purpose of this randomized controlled pilot study is to investigate the impact of dexmedetomidine supplemented analgesia on the sleep quality in elderly patients after major non-cardiac surgery.
Currently, all patients in the hospital are woken up throughout the night to check for vital signs, no matter how sick they are. The investigators are doing this study to determine whether skipping routine vital sign checks at night improves participant sleep quality and satisfaction without increasing the risk of adverse events.
This study evaluates the effect of a late intervention of continuous skin-to-skin contact (SSC) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Half of the participants will receive the intervention and the other half will receive standard care.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of sleep quality on the length of mechanical ventilation weaning, in intensive care unit patients
The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of sleep quality on extubation failure rate in intensive care unit patients at high risk.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of sleep quality on intubation rate in intensive care units patients with acute respiratory failure
To evaluate the influence of rapid recovery on sleep quality following total hip replacement surgery
This study aimed to test the effects of a 12-month Healthy Beat Accupunch (HBA) exercise program on the perceived health status and sleep quality of the community-dwelling older adults.
The investigators are aiming to examine the acceptability and feasibility of a portable bright light therapy instrument to improve sleep disturbance in a preventive intervention for depression. The investigators will conduct an intervention that trials the use of bright light glasses called "re-timers" as a preventive intervention in older adults with sleep disturbance and subsyndromal symptoms of depression.
