Filter by:SObjective and Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) has been incorporated recently in the certification process as a final national undergraduate ranking examination. This exam is an additional major stressor for medical students. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency on stress reduction of a standardized relaxing breathing occuring during rotation of the OSCE stations just before the start of the next upcoming OSCE station, in medical student, during the OSCE.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the RISE for Physicians program has a significant impact on physicians' burnout, resilience, insight, self-compassion, empowerment, and professional and personal mental health and well-being.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a heart rate variability biofeedback training protocol, compared to a guided meditation program and a control group, in reducing stress and anxiety levels among university undergraduate students.
Having a physically disabled child presents serious challenges for parents, not only in the practice of daily living, but also on a psychological and emotional level. In addition to meeting the constant and complex needs of their children, these parents must also maintain their own emotional balance and psychological well-being. In the long term, high stress levels can seriously compromise parents' mental health and reduce their overall quality of life. Therefore, the development of effective stress management strategies and psychological support mechanisms for parents is critical not only for individual well-being but also for the health of family relationships. Mindfulness practices, in this context, emerge as powerful tools with the potential to increase parents' ability to cope with stress and improve emotional well-being. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of the mindfulness stress reduction program applied to parents of physically disabled children on stress and quality of life.
The goal of this quasi-experimental pre- post test study is to test a patient-tailored live music intervention's effect on stress and pain reduction in adult, critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does live music reduce stress and pain in adult intensive care patients? In the pre-post test design, the patients will be their own control. There will be no randomisation. Researchers will compare measurements of heartrate, respiration rate, heartrate variability, blood pressure and pain before and after the live music intervention to see if live music effects these vital parameters. Participants will listen to live music in their room in the intensive care unit for 5 to 15 minutes.
This research is a randomized controlled study that will be conducted in an online environment. The study comprises five stages. The first stage, PREPARATION, involves obtaining ethical approval and permissions from universities, preparing data collection tools, and identifying scholarship recipients. The second stage is the development of the MOBILE AND WEB-BASED application. The third stage is the SITUATION ASSESSMENT stage. In this stage, the post-earthquake trauma level, coping skill level, emotional eating levels, and the status of healthy lifestyle behavior of students enrolled in the Nursing Departments of firat University, Osmaniye Korkut Ata University, and Ankara University will be determined using one of the quantitative data collection tools, PETLDS (Objectives 1, 2, 3, and 4). The fourth stage is the INTERVENTION stage, where the prepared training and applications will be implemented within the program (Objectives 5, 6, 7, and 8). The fifth stage is the EVALUATION stage, involving the collection of final test data and analysis.
The goal of this study is to investigate if a food ingredient can improve stress in healthy adults who experience moderate symptoms of self-reported stress. The main question it aims to answer is if 4 weeks of daily intake of the ingredient reduces stress compared to 4 weeks of daily intake of a placebo product. Participants will: - consume both the test and placebo products for 4-weeks each in a randomised order, with 4 weeks in between - visit the test site 6 times over the 13 weeks - complete a series of assessments on stress and sleep quality and provide blood, stool and saliva samples
Objective structured clinical examinations (ECOS) are playing an increasingly important role in the training and assessment of medical students, and now account for 30% of the grade for access to the 3rd cycle of medical studies. Although students generally seem to have a favorable opinion of this examination modality, several studies have reported that ECOS are a greater source of stress than other types of examination, particularly written examinations. The investigators aim to assess the benefits of a stress management training for medical students, on the negative impact of stress during ECOS. The investigators hypothesize that training in stress management could be beneficial for medical students, in particular to prepare them mentally to limit the negative impact of stress durgin ECOS, and ultimately reduce their overall stress and potentially improve their performance.
This is a parallel design, randomized, controlled pilot trial comparing a controlled breath intervention (REST) to usual care for reducing stress in individuals with COPD.
The evidence unequivocally supports the association between work environment and patient safety. The negative impact of working conditions on both employee health and quality of care highlights the potential benefits of integrating these areas. It is therefore suggested that integrated systematic occupational health and patient safety management are crucial in managing the challenges faced by healthcare services today. The project aims to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a structured method for systematic and integrated occupational safety and health and patient safety management systems (SIOHPS). A process evaluation will be conducted alongside the main study to determine the intervention's specific outcomes and provide transferable guidance to a wider context. The intervention is designed to support both systematic occupational health and patient safety management systems using a Safety II-perspective. The intervention is comprised of several core components, including education to staff, support-functions and management, daily team reflections; as well as audit and feedback. A stepped wedge cluster-controlled design (SWD) will be used, with workplaces as clusters. The SWD will consist of three steps, with four clusters crossing over from the control to the intervention group at each step. All clusters will start as controls. At least twelve healthcare units with at least thirty employees per workplace from two different regions in Sweden will participate in the intervention. Workplaces that provide round-the-clock care are invited to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria are units with plans to implement any other occupational health and/or patient safety improvement work during the project period. At the individual level, inclusion criteria for employees include at least 50% of full-time work at the workplace. The SIOHPS project will contribute to the existing theory on safety culture interventions by considering the integration of these areas. The goal is to contribute to a safe environment for both employees and patients.
