Filter by:This clinical trial will test the efficacy of parent-delivered HuggyPuppy Intervention in alleviating war-related stress in children aged 3-8 during the Gaza-Israel war. Moreover, it will test whether the type of doll provided moderates the efficacy of the intervention. Children will be provided a doll ('Huggy') of to their homes or places of shelter, and asked to take care of it. Five different types of dolls will be randomly assigned to children. Pre-intervention, parents will complete a brief questionnaire asking about the child's past week stress symptoms, and exposure to traumatic war-experiences. Three weeks following the intervention, parents will be asked to complete a post-intervention questionnaire, asking about the child's symptoms, their own anxiety, depression, and stress, as well as their use of the intervention.
Aims and objectives: Studies on stress are generally aimed at young children and infants. However, in the neonatal period, "especially in preterm babies", this issue was not given enough attention and was almost completely ignored. Background: They are exposed to different stressors. Too much stress will increase their problems in their future lives. Design: This study was planned as a randomized study to determine the effects of Kangaroo Care and mother scent application on toxic stress in preterm infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit environment and to create evidence-based recommendations regarding these applications. Methods: Research data were collected from a total of 92 preterm babies born. Babies were divided into 3 groups, those who never met their mothers, only mother scent group and KC group. The mother's undershirt was used as the maternal odor. Vital signs, blood cortisol levels and Preterm Infant Comfort Scale scores were determined and recorded each group.The data were evaluated by statistical analysis. The CONSORT checklist for reporting qualitative research was used. Results: In the group that never encountered mother and mother odor, Preterm Infant Comfort Scale, blood cortisol level and vital signs showed severe stress. It was found that maternal odor is effective in reducing this stress, but kangaroo care is much more effective in preventing stress. Conclusion: if premature babies are deprived of their mother, the stress may be exposed to reaches toxic levels. It was determined that kangaroo care application during the treatment of these babies is a more effective method in reducing stress than the maternal odor application method. Relevance to clinical practice: The results of this study will contribute to nurses' use of kangaroo care and maternal odor in the care of preterm babies to prevent stress and related complications.Therefore, it will improve the quality of care of preterm babies in the NICU.
The COVID-19 pandemic crisis is associated with a wide range of stressors for the general population. For forcibly displaced persons (FDPs), the turmoil of this crisis is magnified significantly, and elevated pre-existing post-migration stressors and trauma-related mental health problems are acutely amplified. In a recent randomized control trial, Mindfulness-Based Trauma Recovery for Refugees (MBTR-R) led to large acute stress-buffering effects among Eritrean asylum seekers in Israel. The investigators thus developed Mindfulness-SOS for Refugees - a brief internet-based mobile-supported adaptation of the MBTR-R mental health intervention program - specifically designed to mitigate acute stress and related mental health symptoms among FDPs. The investigators will conduct a nonrandomized single-group intervention trial of the efficacy, safety, utilization, and related feasibility of Mindfulness-SOS for Refugees among a traumatized chronically stressed sample of East African asylum seekers in an urban post-displacement setting in the Middle East (Israel). The study will be carried out during an acutely stressful period of time for this population due to a COVID-19 pandemic national lockdown.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, several psychological support programs for health care workers have been implemented, especially group or individual counseling sessions delivered face-to-face or using phones and video conferencing platforms. However, there are significant barriers to the delivery of such psychological initiatives. In this context, digital interventions to improve health services and care outcomes are recommended for implementing and providing remote psychological support. Virtual reality can play a relevant role in providing psychological care to healthcare workers facing COVID-19. New commercial head-mounted display have made virtual reality accessible even to the mass audience, breaking down the barriers in the diffusion and use of this technology. Thanks to this fact, virtual reality can now be autonomously used by people and offered to provide psychological assistance remotely. Within this context, this randomized controlled study aims to investigate the efficacy of a virtual reality home-based program for diminishing stress and anxiety in a sample of Italian healthcare workers involved in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Worldwide, refugees and asylum seekers suffer at high rates from trauma- and stress-related mental health problems. The investigators thus developed Mindfulness-Based Trauma Recovery for Refugees (MBTR-R) - a 9-week, mindfulness- and compassion-based, trauma-sensitive and socio-culturally adapted, group intervention for refugees and asylum seekers. The overarching aims of the study were to, first, test whether MBTR-R is an efficacious and safe mental health intervention for traumatized refugees and asylum seekers with respect to stress- and trauma-related mental health outcomes; and, second, to test theorized mechanisms of action of MBTR-R. Accordingly, the investigators conducted a randomized waitlist-controlled trial among a community sample of female and male Eritrean asylum seekers in an urban post-displacement setting in the Middle East (Israel).
This will be a randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to compare live-online Mindful Recovery Opioid Care Continuum (M-ROCC) groups with a live-online control group on the primary outcome of number of biochemically confirmed opioid negative abstinent periods (defined by a negative oral fluid test [negative for opiate, oxycodone, fentanyl, methadone] AND no self-reported illicit opioid use) during the final six two-week periods of the study (study weeks 13-24).
The goal of this pilot study is to test the Mindful Recovery OBOT Care Continuum (M-ROCC) model in primary care office-based opioid treatment (OBOT). M-ROCC features integration of evidence-based mindfulness training with weekly group-based opioid treatment. Primary outcomes include (1) Feasibility measured by implementation of the curriculum into two CHA primary care sites and attendance at weekly sessions; (2) Acceptance via self-report and qualitative interviews. Secondary outcomes include anxiety reduction.
The study examines the effects of the combined use of two different non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques targeting the DLPFC on stress reactivity and recovery.
Stress reactions in emergency physicians will be measures using cortol-awakening-reaction, heart-rate-variability and standardised stress questionnaires
Psychiatrists have expressed concern at the emergence of education as a serious source of stress for school-going children - causing high incidence of deaths by suicide. Many adolescents in India are referred to hospital psychiatric units for school-related distress - exhibiting symptoms of depression, high anxiety, frequent school refusal, phobia, physical complaints, irritability, weeping spells, and decreased interest in school work. Previous studies have found significant anxiety, distress, depression, worn outs and severe impact of psychological factors on the performances of dental, engineering and medical student. But students preparing for competitive exams have not been studied yet. Current study reports the scientific evidence of immediate effect of yoga based techniques combined with music and Vedic chants on adolescents preparing for competitive exams.
