Filter by:The athlete population has a high risk of suffering from mental health problems (e.g., anxiety), especially for athletes with individual sports. As such, various forms of mental training were used to maintain the mental health of athletes, such as mindfulness training or relaxation training. However, differences pertaining to the electrophysiological mechanisms resulting from both mental training in athletes are unknown. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to examine the differential effects between the brief mindfulness induction (MI) and relaxation induction (RI) on state anxiety, affect and the activation of the brain in track and field athletes.
Simulation education has become one of the innovative educational approaches that are widely used in providing nursing students with knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards vocational courses. Simulation education provides students with the opportunity to combine their knowledge and skills and provide nursing care in a high-reality environment. However, the fact that simulation training is a method that requires the student to recognize a clinical event, make a clinical decision, and intervene with the patient in line with this decision may cause students to experience anxiety and affect their learning. Although there are limited studies conducted on nursing students, it is stated that new approaches such as laughter yoga are effective in reducing anxiety and stress levels. In this direction, this research; In this study, it was planned to investigate the effectiveness of laughter yoga in terms of reducing the anxiety experienced by nursing students during simulation training and increasing their learning satisfaction. The universe of the research will be the second-year students of Hacettepe University Faculty of Nursing. As a result of the power analysis, it is aimed to reach 54 people. The study was planned in a randomized controlled design. Research data will be collected through Personal Information Form, State Anxiety Scale, Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale, Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students, and Students' Vital Findings Evaluation Form. With this study, it is predicted that laughter yoga to be applied to nursing students before simulation training will have a positive effect on state anxiety, student satisfaction, and perceived stress level.
Introduction: Today it is seen that women lose their birthing strength, give the control to healthcare personnel during labour and the rate of c-section or interventional labour is increasing. For this reason, the importance of yoga, meditation and breath awareness practices increases during pregnancy and birth. The study was carried out as a randomized control trial with the purpose of examining the impact of yoga and meditation during pregnancy and labour on the labour process. Methods: The study was completed with 90 primiparous pregnant women in total, 30 in experimental group and 60 in control group. The data was collected using State Trait Anxiety Inventory, Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire A, The Childbirth Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form, Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire Version B and Visual Analogue Scale. Pregnant women in experimental group did yoga and meditation for 60 minutes 2 times a week for 10 weeks. Innatal period yoga and meditation practices were continued in experimental group during labour.
Rationale: Lack of postoperative acute pain management is associated with increased morbidity, longer recovery time, more opioid use and subsequently increased health care costs. There is increasing evidence virtual reality (VR) is effective in the reduction of acute pain. Alternative methods to reduce postoperative pain and multimodal analgesia are necessary for acute postoperative pain management and to reduce opioid use and their adverse effects. Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the effect of VR on pain in the immediate postoperative period after elective gynecological surgery. Secondary objectives are evaluating pre-and postoperative anxiety, pain catastrophizing, analgesic use, length of hospital stay between both groups and to explore tolerability, feasibility and satisfaction of VR use. Study design: The study concerns a non-blinded, single centre, randomised controlled trial. Study population: Eligible women fulfill the inclusion criteria and receive elective gynecological surgery in the Zuyderland Medical Centre location Heerlen. Intervention: The study population will be randomly divided into the intervention group (VR-group) or the standard care- group. The intervention group can choose for an immersive guided relaxation VR experience or an interactive VR experience during the pre- and postoperative period additional to the usual standard care. The participants randomised to the standard care- group will receive only the usual standard care pre-and postoperative. Main study parameters: The primary outcome is postoperative pain measured on a numeric rating scale (NRS). A total of 30 patients have to be included in each group. This means that a total of 60 women will have to be included in the study. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The study population experiences a small medical risk when participating to this study. They can experience side-effects of VR for example dizziness or nausea and in rare cases epileptic insults. Participants of the study have to fill in a questionnaire before randomization and pre-and postoperative score of pain and anxiety on a zero to ten score scale.
