Filter by:The objective of this proposal is to recruit 20 healthy subjects per ingredient arm (5 arms x 20 subjects; N= 120 total) to participate in a research study investigating the effects of dietary supplementation for one-month with different dietary supplement formulations (versus placebo; N=20) that may have benefits for supporting respiratory health, psychological stress, and quality of life. Supplements to be studied (all are commercially available): 1. Chaga (mushroom extract) 2. Arava (algae concentrate) 3. Thymoquin (black cumin seed oil) 4. Thymoquin + Astaxanthin (antioxidant carotenoid) 5. Thymoquin + Omega 3 (fish oil) 6. Placebo (corn starch) In order to "stress" volunteers, participants will train for and complete a strenuous off-road trail marathon to induce both physical and mental stress.
The research will be carried out to determine the effect of mindfulness-based pregnancy education program on stress, fear of childbirth and birth self-efficacy in pregnant women. The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. The universe of the research will consist of pregnant women who applied to Gaziantep Cengiz Gökçek Gynecology and Pediatrics Hospital Pregnancy training class. The sample of the research, on the other hand, was determined by power analysis, at least the number of individuals to be included in the sample of the research. Sample size when power analysis is done; Assuming that the method applied with 5% error level, bidirectional significance level, 95% confidence interval and 80% ability to represent the universe, would reduce the anxiety score averages (30.53±6.49) by 4 points, a total of 84 pregnant women (42 experimental, 42 control) were calculated. Introductory Information Form", "Prenatal Distress Scale (PBL)-Revised Version", "Birth Attitude Scale" and "Birth Self-Efficacy Scale short form" will be used. It is predicted that the research will contribute to the literature in line with its originality and results.
This research study is being done to better understand how people experience stress in everyday life and how that stress may relate to sleep and physical activity. We are also testing stress management approaches that are intended to reduce stress responses in everyday life.
The purpose of this study is to test a stress management program for men with early-stage prostate cancer.
The puerperium is a critical phase for women , not only does it have a significant impact on the mental and physical health of fresh mothers, but it can also be one of the most stressful moments in a woman's life .Serious psycho- social problems, including fatigue, depression, and stress, have been reported that occurred during the postpartum period. Diaphragm breathing method (DBE).DBE, also known as Diaphragmatic Breathing or Deep Breathing, is an effective holistic mind body workout for coping with stress and physical and mental conditions.Postpartum fatigue is considered the foremost common issue that postnatal ladies stand up to when they move to motherhood.postpartum fatigue is described as sentiments of fatigue,suffocation and diminishes in physical and mental capacity. This study will be a randomized clinical trial. Sample will be collected through convenient sampling technique.Randomization will be done through lottery method and patients will be divided into two groups. Group A will receive both aerobic exercises and diaphragmatic breathing exercise. B will receive only diaphragmatic breathing exercise. Data will be collected before and after treatment .data will be analyzed through SPPS 25.
The Parentbot - a Digital healthcare Assistant (PDA) is a mobile application-based psychosocial parenting intervention with integrated chatbot features, intended for couples to use during the perinatal period. It provides parents with multimedia educational materials (text files, audio files and videos), discussion forum, guided mindfulness-based meditation videos, guided reflection and gratitude journals and a chatbot to answer their queries related to perinatal care in real-time. This study aims to: 1. Develop a theory-based perinatal intervention with integrated chatbot features for both first-time and experienced parents 2. Examine the effectiveness of the PDA intervention in improving parenting self-efficacy (primary outcome), stress, depression, anxiety, social support, parent-child bonding and parenting satisfaction (secondary outcomes) among parents during the perinatal period 3. Examine the perceptions of parents from both the intervention and control group after the intervention 4. Collate suggestions for further improvement from the participants and members of the research team The hypotheses of this study are: The PDA intervention group will have significantly higher scores for parenting self-efficacy, social support, parent-child bonding and parenting satisfaction, as well as lower scores for stress, depression and anxiety compared to the control group receiving standard care after the intervention at one-month postpartum (post-test 1) and three-months postpartum (post-test 2).
The RubusElite project is a multi-disciplinary project combining expertise in exercise science, nutrition, biochemistry, microbiology and food science across three institutions: University College Cork, Waterford Institute of Technology and Teagasc Food Research. This project has been funded by the Irish Department for Food, Agriculture and the Marines Food Institutional Research Measure (FIRM) initiative. The overarching aim of the RubusElite project is to provide an attractive, evidence-based performance and recovery food product for those undergoing frequent strenuous exercise in the form of a blackberry enriched, high protein dairy beverage. The process of developing this product will act as an exemplar model, providing best practice guidelines for the development of future functional foods in the performance nutrition space. This randomised controlled trial (RCT) will act as the ultimate test of efficacy of this functional food. It is envisaged that this RCT will assess the impact of a combined protein-polyphenol beverage on post-exercise recovery, exercise capacity, composition of the gut microbiome as well as central stress processing.
The overarching goal of the present study was to evaluate a MHSP-presented versus peer-presented mental health resilience skills-building online video outreach program against a wait-list comparison group.
Heel blood sampling is a routine but painful procedure for newborns. A limited number of international studies have shown that automatic lancets are more effective with less pain and tissue damage than manual lancets. In line with this information, this study was planned to investigate the effects of manual and automatic lancets on pain and stress in newborn capillary heel blood collection.
The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of 700 mg daily ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) in healthy college students on sleep, stress and food cravings to healthy college students taking placebo.
