Filter by:Primary aims of the study are to evaluate the feasibility of Skin conductance (SC) measurements and its correlation to Neonatal Pain and Distress Scale (N-PASS) - scores during the Less-Invasive-Surfactant-Administration (LISA)-procedure in preterm infants. Secondary aims are to evaluate the effect of LISA on the general stress-level in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. The assessment of pain and stress with SC measurement in addition to the subjective assessment with N-PASS may provide more conclusive data on the sensation of pain or stress during the LISA procedure and therefore the necessity of analgosedation. Therefore, this study might help to identify those infants in need for analgosedation, which would allow an individualized approach in the future.
We will assess stress using heart rate variability during examination on medical student. Three time of measurement will be performed. First standardized objective clinical examination, second classic table examination and third a control day.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study stressed or distressed veterans and service members. Researchers will compare Caring Contacts plus best available resources to best available resources alone to see if reduces distress and prevents thoughts of suicide.
Epilepsy is among the diseases that cause loss of neurological abilities regardless of any trauma. Reflexology is one of the complementary therapies based on activating the body's self-healing power through special hand techniques applied to the feet. It is known that there are positive changes in seizure frequency, fatigue, stress and sleep quality in epilepsy patients after reflexology. This study will be conducted to determine the effect of reflexology on seizure frequency, fatigue, stress and sleep quality in epilepsy patients.
The current study aims to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of a training curriculum designed for teaching low-intensity psychological interventions to bachelor's degree holders, specifically focusing on principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and its intervention effectiveness. This evaluation is divided into two integral parts. In the first part, the curriculum, which encompasses a 120-hour intensive teaching block followed by a nine-month placement, will be evaluated. To assess the trainees' competencies in applying the principles of ACT, a series of role-play examinations will be administered at various time points, including pre-training, pre-placement, mid-placement, and end-of-placement. Focus groups will be conducted. The second part of the evaluation is to examine the outcomes of low-intensity psychological interventions, delivered by the trainees, targeting adult individuals screened with mild to severe symptoms of depression and anxiety. To achieve this, a series of questionnaires will be administered at several stages: pre-intervention, during each session, and at a three-month follow-up. Outcome measures will include the assessment of depressive and anxiety symptom severity, quality of life, functional impairment, therapeutic alliance, and the level of experiential avoidance. Individual exit interviews and focus groups will be conducted. The aim of the study: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of the training program 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of the low-intensity psychological intervention based on the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principle Hypotheses: It is hypothesised that the competency level of the training participants will increase after the intensive training block and the placement. It is also hypothesised that after receiving the low-intensity psychological intervention based on the ACT principle, the depression and anxiety scores, functioning impairment, and experiential avoidance level will reduce, and quality of life and therapeutic relationship will improve.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of 6- and 12- week supplementation of a bioactive whey protein concentrate drink containing dairy phospholipids on stress reactivity and recovery in healthy adults. The proposed randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel groups design methodology will assess the stress reactivity and recovery effects (both self-reported and physiological) of 40g per day of bioactive whey protein concentrate in the form of a powder that the participant will be required to mix with 350ml of water and matched placebo prior to (baseline) and after -6 week and -12 week supplementation. The trial will utilise the Multi-tasking framework (MTF) during testing visits to elicit an acute stress response within the laboratory. Self reported anxiety (STAI short-form) at multiple time points before and after the stressor will be measured as well as perceived task demand following the stressor (NASA-TLX). Physiological measurements of the stress response will also be measured through blood pressure, heart rate arability, and galvanic skin response. 150 participants will participate, aged 25-49, and self-reported as being in good health. Participants will be supplied with either the active treatment or the placebo (allocated by a randomised schedule) whilst visiting the research centre for the testing appointments, and will take treatment home to consume daily for the duration of the study. Participants will record time of taking treatment each day in a treatment diary which will be returned to the research centre, along with any unused treatment, upon completion of the study.
The aim of the current study is to explore whether culturally adapted internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy is effective in reducing the symptoms of various common mental health problems among Arabic-speaking refugee and migrant youth. We hypothesize that the symptoms of the psychological problems will significantly be reduced among youth who will receive iCBT compared to youth in the control group.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the impact of the Communities Organizing for Power through Empathy (COPE) intervention in adults in communities having recently experienced or at risk of experiencing disaster. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does the COPE intervention affect individual mental health? - How does the COPE intervention affect protective factors like coping and social support? - How does the COPE intervention affect community resilience? - How does delivery of the COPE intervention in partnership with a broad-based organization affect participant recruitment and retention, as well as outcomes? Participants will participate in the three session COPE intervention. Researchers will compare individuals who participate in the COPE intervention to individuals who participate in house meetings to see if the COPE intervention improves mental health, coping, social support and community resilience. Researchers will also examine factors that affect implementation and intervention delivery.
The aim of this study is to evaluate Virtual reality (VR) on perioperative anxiety, pain, hemodynamics, and stress hormones in patients undergoing Total hip arthroplasty (THA).
The purpose of this study is to identify factors (sleep, psychiatric characteristics, stressful life events, and work environment characteristics) that potentiate or mitigate adverse effects of real-world stressors that predispose nurses to suicidal risk. The specific aims are: Aim 1. To investigate associations between sleep, stressful life events (life stressors, discrimination, lateral violence), psychiatric characteristics (psychiatric diagnosis, subjective mood), work environment characteristics (workload, shift type and duration, overtime, nurse work environment, and team relations) and stress (self-report and heart rate variability) in working nursing professionals while controlling for standard covariates known to influence stress. Aim 2. To determine if stress exposure (self-report and HRV) is associated with predisposing factors (sleep, stressful life events, additional psychiatric characteristics, and work environment characteristics), and to explore whether stress mediates the effect of predisposing factors on suicidal ideation in working nursing professionals. Exploratory Aim. To explore the preliminary impact of an existing sleep intervention (sleep health promotion kit) on self-reported stress, HRV, sleep, and psychiatric health outcomes including depression, burnout, and suicidal ideation.
