Filter by:SObjective and Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) has been incorporated recently in the certification process as a final national undergraduate ranking examination. This exam is an additional major stressor for medical students. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency on stress reduction of a standardized relaxing breathing occuring during rotation of the OSCE stations just before the start of the next upcoming OSCE station, in medical student, during the OSCE.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effects of probiotic supplementation on stress levels and bowel habits in healthy Saudi adults for both males and females. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does probiotic supplementation decrease stress levels? Does probiotic supplementation improve bowel habits? Researchers compared between the intervention group receiving probiotic supplements with high stress levels with a control group not receiving probiotics with high stress levels to see if probiotics decreases stress levels.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the RISE for Physicians program has a significant impact on physicians' burnout, resilience, insight, self-compassion, empowerment, and professional and personal mental health and well-being.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a heart rate variability biofeedback training protocol, compared to a guided meditation program and a control group, in reducing stress and anxiety levels among university undergraduate students.
The aim of this study was to determine the impact of training provided through simulation method on self-confidence and stress levels in nursing students during patient intervention.
Having a physically disabled child presents serious challenges for parents, not only in the practice of daily living, but also on a psychological and emotional level. In addition to meeting the constant and complex needs of their children, these parents must also maintain their own emotional balance and psychological well-being. In the long term, high stress levels can seriously compromise parents' mental health and reduce their overall quality of life. Therefore, the development of effective stress management strategies and psychological support mechanisms for parents is critical not only for individual well-being but also for the health of family relationships. Mindfulness practices, in this context, emerge as powerful tools with the potential to increase parents' ability to cope with stress and improve emotional well-being. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of the mindfulness stress reduction program applied to parents of physically disabled children on stress and quality of life.
The investigators propose addressing and evaluating the efficacy of a behavioral, contingency management app by conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will evaluate the app compared to a placebo app control group. Participants will be randomly assigned to immediate intervention using the treatment condition or to a placebo app condition. Participants will not know which condition they are assigned to until after the study completion; they will also not know that they are using the treatment app until after the study completion. The sample will consist of 100 families of school-age children (ages 6-12) who display significant behavioral problems. The treatment app is a task management platform containing a self-directed rewards system through which caregivers can assign token rewards to their children for completing routine tasks (e.g., cleaning their room, completing homework). Participants in the placebo app condition will have a similar user experience, however, tokens are assigned non-contingently (dispensed daily, rather than based on task completion). While participants will not be required to complete any tasks or behaviors in the app as part of their participation in the study, they will be asked to use the app at least once per day for 8 weeks. Given the self-directed nature of the treatment app (parents decide how frequently they access the app-based rewards system and how many tasks they assign to their child), parent involvement in the intervention will vary slightly in duration. However, based on the literature and routine practice, we anticipate parents will log in at least once a day to assign tasks to their child and follow up on completed rewards. Assessments (see details below) will occur at baseline, weekly during the intervention, and at the end of the study. The study will take about 8 weeks in total to complete once participants have been enrolled in the app.
The objective of the current study, Vital@Work, is to keep employees in the Netherlands vital on the long term by preventing work-related mental health problems. Therefore, we test an evidence based Participatory Approach (PA) to compose a mental health program tailored to behavioral, organizational & contextual (BOC) determinants of individuals and populations at risk. The PA is investigated in four different organizations, which differ in sector, size (small and large organizations), type of organization (private or public) and type of work. The varied organizations, each characterized by unique BOC-determinants, provide an opportunity for researching tailored intervention activities that aim to effectively prevent work-related mental health problems. By identifying common factors across these diverse organizations, we aim to grasp patterns of mechanisms for interventions to mental health at work. By doing this, we come closer to opening black box of how and why interventions work and thus closer to tailoring interventions to needs of both individuals and organizations
The goal of this observational study is to learn about quality of life, stress and caregiver burden in patients with stroke and their caregivers. The main question is: • to discover the factors associated with quality of life and stress in patient-caregiver dyads. Participants will be asked to fill out questionnaires and agree to provide a hair sample (in order to measure stress hormones in hair) and consent to use of their routine clinical and laboratory data. Researchers will compare a group of participants without stroke to establish a comparable baseline.
In Spain, depression, anxiety, and stress are highly prevalent in the general population as well as in college students. In college students, Ramón Arbués et al. found a moderate prevalence of depression (18.4%), anxiety (23.6%) and stress (34.5%). It is essential to take responsibility for promoting health education, disease prevention, protection and care for young people. Academic performance can be altered due to the stressful nature of exam situations, which can lead to increased anxiety and decrease expected performance, mainly due to effects such as decreased attention span, concentration and retention of information. Modulation of vagal tone is a therapeutical strategy to heightened parasympathetic activity and withdrawal sympathetic activity. Auricular transcutaneous VNS (ATVNS) by which parasympathetic nerve system is modulated by means of the stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve that provides somatosensory innervation to the external ear. It has been shown that there are different effective interventions to reduce the symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety and insomnia in university students, but they are based on psychological interventions or face-to-face and cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approach, so this study proposal incorporates noninvasive atrial stimulation as an alternative to traditional treatments, which apart from being cost-effective, is easy to apply, well tolerated and presumably can have beneficial effects in the short term. In the present pilot study, authors propose to investigate the degree of depression, anxiety and stress on crucial dates of final exams of 1st year students of the Double Degree Physiotherapy - Physical Activity and Sport Sciences of the Health Department of the TecnoCampus. Investigators will also evaluate the feasibility of a study to assess the efficacy of a non-pharmacological intervention, through a neuroreflex stimulation of vagal tone, with a non-invasive atrial stimulation protocol.
