Filter by:The participants in this study will be subjected to a specific clinic waiting area ambience (1- no aquarium, 2- presence of aquarium with no fish, and 3- aquarium with fish) for their period of waiting before their intended dental visit and their stress and anxiety levels will be measured. Heart rate, blood pressure will be measured and other upon their arrival into the dental clinic waiting area and then again after 20 minutes of waiting in the waiting area. Anxiety will be measured using a six-item State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6) questionnaire and the mood of the participants were assessed for valence and arousal, using the feeling scale, and the felt arousal scale. The data from the three different waiting room settings will be compared and statistically analysed to investigate if an aquarium has an impact, and in that case how.
The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of the intervention measures of the "Maternal-Infant Exercise Program" to improve the postpartum women's body composition, stress, fatigue and parent-child attachment.
The purpose of this study is to design and refine a web-based platform developed for managing symptom burden in men who have sex who are HIV+ cancer survivors.
The healthcare industry is inherently demanding, stressful, and, at times, emotionally draining. On a typical day, many workers must make rapid and critical decisions, manage numerous demands, team conflicts, and challenging situations with patients and their families. For some health care workers (HCW), the current pandemic - COVID-19 - has also exacerbated these challenges. Providing psychological support is key in alleviating stress among HCWs, yet the situation does not require therapy because HCWs do not principally suffer from a mental disorder. RECHARGE was specifically developed for HCWs and is an abbreviated online version of Problem Management Plus, an evidence-based intervention that helps to cope with stress in times of crisis. As a brief psychological intervention for adults affected by adversity emerging from stress exposure, RECHARGE teaches people three well-documented strategies to manage acute stress (a: managing stress, b: managing worry, c: meaningful activity). It includes psychoeducation, arousal reduction techniques, managing worries and problem-solving skills, behavioral activation, and enhancement of meaningful activities, which are all based on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of RECHARGE to reduce stress in HCWs and enhance their work performance. Participants in this randomized controlled trial (RCT) study are randomly assigned to either RECHARGE or the active control group. To this end, stress including symptoms of burnout, worries, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and work performance will be measured at baseline, post-intervention, and at a 2 and 6 month follow up.
COVID-19 is having profound effects on older adults' due to social isolation measures which may negatively impact individuals' mental and physical health. Recently, a telephone program, the Telehealth Intervention Program for Older Adults (TIP-OA), was created. In this program, a volunteer is calling older adults (ageā„60) every week to have a friendly conversation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of this telephone program (TIP-OA) in reducing stress, improving the mental health of program users, and understand their experiences.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of a stress reduction intervention on atherosclerotic plaque inflammation in adults with stable coronary artery disease, as quantified by positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in individuals with increased psychosocial stress.
The plot study aims to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of stress reducing intervention on atherosclerotic plaque inflammation in adults, as quantified by positron emission tomography (PET) with fluorine-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) in individuals with increased psychosocial stress.
The purpose of this study is to assess the potential for a non-invasive sensory based intervention to reduce the stress associated with a COVID-19 diagnosis.
Background: The hz Clinic registry is a programme made of five scheduled cohorts designed to include participants dealing with Immunity compromise, Pain, Ageing and Stress (general and pandemic anxieties) who are to be followed for 6 month to five years in their structured routine of pulsed electro resonance (PEMF) to determine their clinical outcome in the real world, contributing evidence for benchmarking fellow cohort participant variance. Here we report baseline characteristics, PEMF transfer events and outcomes in participants in the UK. This study serves as a calibration proforma for downstream real world evidence observations of PEMF in the field.
Interventional, three-armed, open, monocentric, medium-term follow-up, pre-test-post-test design, controlled, parallel group study to investigate the effects of a group singing intervention on neuroendocrine (hair cortisol, salivary cortisol, salivary alpha amylase), immune (salivary immunoglobulin A/s-IgA), and psychological (psychological stress, mood, social contacts, emotional and social competence, self-esteem, and quality of life) responses in mentally ill and healthy children and adolescents (N=135, age range 10 -18). Additionally, the child and adolescent psychiatry group (age range 13-18) takes part in three hour creative workshops every two weeks.
