Filter by:Based on findings from our prior trials with parents of children with learning and attentional disabilities and parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (Kuhlthau et al., 2020; Park et al., 2020; IRB approved: #:2016P001622 and 2016P002037 respectively), the investigators propose to pilot test and refine the adapted resiliency intervention (SMART-3RP) among fathers of children with special health care needs.
Stress management in dialysis patients plays a key role in reducing these negativities and in maintaining both physical and mental well-being. In dialysis patients, on the other hand, the effectiveness of stress ball use on comfort and stress was evaluated, and no study was found that evaluated its effect on anxiety.
The Smart Supplement has 20 vitamins and minerals that have strong track records of demonstrating positive health effects, both physiologically and cognitively. This twelve-week trial will examine the effectiveness and efficacy of Heights Smart Supplement on both biomarkers and subjective experiences from participants.
An early parent-child relationship is important for a child's development, both intellectually and socially. The admission of premature or ill newborns to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) may make the establishment of the parent-child relationship challenging due to parents' anxiety and despair. Traditionally, most healthcare professionals have mainly focused on infants and mothers, even though fathers often feel stressed, powerless, and helpless, and find it difficult to establish a father-child relationship. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a father-friendly NICU on infants, parents and staff.
Providing a combination of synergistic dietary supplements, such as vitamins B6, B12, and folate, as well as curcumin, lemon balm, and American ginseng is hypothesized to promote brain health and aid with brain fog, mental clarity, ability to handle stress, mood, focus, and productivity, as well as promote overall well-being.
Social work is a stressful occupation with social workers at high risk of job-related stress and burnout. Mindfulness has been evidenced as a promising approach for improving: recovery from stress; behavioural responses to stress; and resilience. The main aim of the study is to examine the efficacy of a bespoke, innovative, 6-session Mindfulness Intervention for social workers (MBSWSC) in reducing social worker stress, feelings of burnout, anxiety, low mood and improving well-being. The study will also compare outcomes from the MBSWSC with a briefer, condensed 3 session mindfulness programme (MBSC).
A high-quality broad-spectrum cannabidiol supplement with a bio-terpene complex will be administered once daily. It is hypothesized that this supplement will lead to improvements in sleep, focus, and stress. Previous research supports that CBD supplementation provides support to the endocannabinoid system, allowing the brain to better control negative psychological outcomes like fear, stress, and negative mood states.
Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), a widely used method to improve mental state and sleep quality, was developed by Kabat-Zinn in 1970. The meditation of MBSR is effective in regulating patients' emotions, leading to reduced stress, pain, and psychological symptoms. Studies have demonstrated that MBSR has a positive impact on multiple psychological and physical symptoms in a variety of cancers. On this basis, investigators found that VR treatment can also help patients relax, and it has been widely used in cancer symptom relief in recent years. VR treatment involves using headset devices that fully restrict the vision field to content displayed inside the headset screen; As a treatment modality, VR provides a unique environment comprising 3D visually immersive experiences that are enriched with stereo sounds and elements such as rich colors and scenic environments that enhance elicitation of desired states of arousal and affect. Within the therapeutic context, VR may be flexibly designed and tailored to address the needs of specific conditions (eg, anxiety, depression, pain) auditory perception is not fully restricted, though the corresponding device-delivered auditory content commands attention.
The study is aimed at comparing the differential effects of two widely used standardized meditation programs: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) delivered in a retreat format with a cross-over design in a general population sample of healthy adults.
This study will test the feasibility of delivering smartphone-based mindfulness and coping interventions to a sample of emerging/young adults with a history of early life adversity (ELA). 80 participants with a history of ELA will be randomly assigned to complete a two-week mindfulness training intervention or matched coping control intervention, both involving 14 foundational audio-guided lessons and practice prompts randomly delivered 3x daily. At baseline, post-intervention, and one-month follow-up lab assessments, participants will complete questionnaires and provide blood samples for assessment of markers of inflammation. Data assessing subjective and physiological stress in daily life will be collected during the intervention and for one week before, immediately after, and one month after the intervention. Passive sensor data will be continuously collected from participants' smartphones and wearable devices to develop exploratory models that estimate and predict daily life stress. Data will be used to evaluate feasibility and acceptability of interventions and assessments in an ELA sample, test effects of mindfulness training on daily life stress and markers of inflammation in an ELA sample, and develop exploratory machine learning models of stress from passive sensor data.
