Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the blood flow to the heart during stress and assess changes in blood flow after psychological treatment in participants with coronary artery disease. The aims of the study are to assess the effects of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback (versus usual care) on global and regional myocardial blood flow (MBF), peripheral vascular function, and autonomic changes during mental stress.
This study is designed to investigate effects on attentional performance and motoric activity of 100 mg microencapsulated glycine (Bidicin® from Biotiki®) compared to placebo after treatment with t.i.d. sublingual doses over 3 weeks each. The primary objective of the study is to determine the effects on attentional performance and motoric activity of 100 mg microencapsulated Glycine (Bidicin® from Biotiki® ) compared to placebo after treatment with t.i.d. sublingual doses over 3 weeks each in children with low attentional performance and high motoric activity. A number of 30 prepuberal boys and girls aged 6 - 14 years with low attentional performance and high motoric activity will be enrolled in this study. The prepuberal status will be determined by Tanner stages ≤ 3.
This protocol proposes a well-being program, delivered through an application for mobile devices, based on meditation and positive psychology principles such as human development, the improvement of virtues, quality of life and well-being. The investigators hypothesize that this program offered in mobile application may promote well-being and reduce stress related problems in the participants. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of a well-being program delivered through an application for mobile devices in a sample of employees who work in a company (Natura Inovação/Cosméticos) and in a hospital (Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein). Methods: Two hundred and fifty employees from Natura Inovação/Cosméticos and 250 employees from Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein will be recruited. The participants will be randomized in two groups of 125 participants each one, half of them in the control group (GC) and the other half to the intervention group (GI), by institution.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a guided imagery intervention on perceived stress in pregnant adolescents.
This study will evaluate the feasibility of providing an onsite mindfulness intervention, delivered as part of the school health curriculum, to help high school-attending adolescents cope with stress.
The SHINE study is a randomized controlled study of the effect of a park-based family support group on multiple outcomes (including stress and physical activity) in a low income population.
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a 5-week standardized cognitive behavioral treatment of stress management conducted via e-learning or face-to-face on patients responding to the diagnosis of adjustment disorder with anxiety (ADA) according to the DSM- 5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition) criteria .
The purpose of this project is to study whether a mindfulness-based training program supports self-regulation, resiliency, effective classroom behaviors, and persistence in teaching.
Health professional students experience high levels of psychological stress. Individuals with higher levels of resilience are better equipped to handle stress. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of an 8-hour resilience curriculum on stress levels, resilience, coping, protective factors, and symptomatology on students enrolled in a doctor of physical therapy (DPT) program. Hypothesis: The curriculum will decrease stress levels, increase resilience, coping flexibility, protective factors (optimism, positive affect, and social support), and reduce symptomatology (negative affect, illness). Research on stress and its consequences experienced by physical therapy students in particular is limited. If the results of this study support this hypothesis, it may establish the benefit of adding a resilience component to the curriculum for students of physical therapy.
Physicians in general are at risk for burnout, and this risk is heightened among women, particularly mothers. In a randomized design, central hypotheses in this study are that mothers who attend our 12-week Relational Psychotherapy Mothers Group (RPMG) intervention will show significantly greater decreases in stress, depression, burnout, and associated risk biomarker indices, as compared to comparison controls (who would meet in unstructured gatherings, for an hour a week for 12 weeks). Additionally the investigators hypothesize that the gains would be maintained three months after the intervention is completed.
