Filter by:In this study; In this study, it is aimed to determine the stress level and the effect of the mandala activity, which is applied to two different musical accompaniments, on coping with stress in infertile women who have undergone embryo transfer.The research was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study with women who had embryo transfer at Private Samsun Medicana International Hospital IVF Center and Private Samsun VM Medical Park Hospital IVF Center between 01.07.2021 and 31.07.2022. Introductory Information Form, Infertility Stress Scale (PSS), and Infertility Stress Coping Scale (PSSS) were applied to intervention groups with embryo transfer. The intervention group started right after the embryo transfer and performed a mandala activity accompanied by music or meditation music of their own choosing until the day before the BetaHcg test, and the ISS and PSS were repeated one day before the BetaHcg test. Both groups were provided with the application for at least 7-10 days. After embryo transfer to the control group, Introductory Information Form, PSS and PSS were applied, and PSS and PSS were repeated one day before the BetaHCG test, and no intervention was made other than routine practices.
A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study assessing the impact of health and wellness products on feeling of anxiety, stress, and other health outcomes
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the experiences of women who learn the TM technique to those who do not. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do women in rural Lebanon who practice the TM technique experience lower stress levels compared to those who do not. 2. Do women in rural Lebanon who practice the TM technique experience increased happiness, self-efficacy, and resilience levels compared to those who do not. Participants will: - complete baseline surveys - be divided into experimental and active-control groups - those in the experimental group will learn the TM technique, the control group will be offered an online didactic course on stress reduction - both groups will complete post-test surveys at the end of 1 and 3 months - Researchers will compare experimental and control groups to see if the intervention effects stress levels.
Volunteers will fill out an initial questionnaire which will describe their current situation, their pathologies and current treatments, their medical history. Finally, they will complete three questionnaires on the day of their stressful event which will describe their state of stress just before taking the product, 20 minutes after taking the product; their tolerance and satisfaction with the product will be described at the end of the day.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of AlphaWave® L-Theanine on stress among adults who experience moderate stress on a regular basis. The difference in change in stress as assessed by salivary cortisol from baseline at Days 14 and 28 will be compared between AlphaWave® L-Theanine and Placebo groups. Additionally, the safety and tolerability of AlphaWave® L-Theanine, as compared to placebo, will be measured by the occurrence of an/or changes in pre-emergent and post-emergent adverse events (AEs).
The aim of the current project is to develop and test Ecological Momentary Interventions (EMIs) to promote and improve stress resilience, specifically, an EMI to increase positive reappraisal. EMIs are mostly smartphone-based applications that deliver interventions to people as they go about in their daily lives. The EMI tested here is based on theoretical and empirical findings and consists of several items and repeated training using various individual scenarios from participants' life that will be presented to participants via an app on their smartphones. This study tests the efficacy of the EMI on a change in (i) reappraisal and (ii) indices of perceived stress. One hundred twenty healthy student participants, aged 18-29 will be invited to the study. Participants will be screened and those who score below 13 points of reappraisal skills in a Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, will be included in the study. This is necessary in order to avoid a ceiling effect on reappraisal skills, which may be high in students. Then, the participants will be randomly assigned to experimental (reappraisal EMI in regular and burst design) and control conditions (control EMA) and fill in questionnaires. The reappraisal EMI groups will be taught reappraisal skills and will be asked to apply them to personal situations repeatedly. The control EMA group will have the same app consisting of Ecological Momentary Assessment only. The training will last 21 consecutive days and the app will send (i) 5 prompts per day to ask about the current mood of the user in control and both experimental groups and (ii) at least two prompts per day resulting in a total of min. 42 reappraisal training sessions in the regular experimental group or 28 reappraisal training sessions in the burst experimental group. What is more, every participant has the possibility to trigger the EMA or EMI anytime they wish to. After using the app, participants will fill in some questionnaires again. The whole study will be conducted remotely (Video calls and app use) to avoid unnecessary COVID-related risks for participants.
A two-group (intervention vs. usual care), randomized controlled design will be used to determine the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, the Heart2Heart program, and determine efficacy on physical and psychological outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) and caregivers. A total of 20 patients with HF and 20 caregivers (n= 40) will be randomly assigned to the intervention or usual care group stratified by patient and caregiver groups. Only participants in the intervention will be asked to attend the 12-week sessions (two sessions per week; a total of 24 sessions in 12 weeks) via video conferencing (i.e., ZOOM). The short-term intervention efficacy will be assessed following week of the completion of 12-weeks sessions. Primary psychological outcomes include depressive symptoms, anxiety, stress, and quality of life. Primary physical outcomes include physical activity level, sleep quality, and perceived symptoms.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test to efficacy of a probiotic blend on stress in adolescents with moderate perceived stress. It is hypothesized that those taking the probiotic blend will have decreased levels of stress compared to those receiving the placebo.
One of the factors that increase harmony in marriage is sexual life and sexual satisfaction (Erdinç, 2018). Sexual intercourse is one of the pillars of a successful family; accordingly, functionality in this area greatly affects marital adjustment (Atrian, 2018). Studies show an important relationship between sexual adjustment and marital adjustment (Türkseven et al., 2020; Begdeş, 2021). Negative workplace factors such as occupational stress and long working hours affect the physical and mental states of nurses (Oyeleye et al., 2013; Chesak et al., 2019). This study was planned to determine the relationship between stress, anxiety, depression, sexual function and marital adjustment in nurses.
