Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the usefulness of social robots reducing unwanted loneliness in persons over 65 living in nursing homes. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can social robots reduce unwanted loneliness? - Can social robots improve quality of live and well-being? The selected centers are organized in several classes of living units. Living units are independent physical spaces with their own common facilities for the persons living in (usually around 15). Living units of the same class gather persons with similar characteristics. To compare the added value of the robots half of the living units will be allocated to a control group, and the other half to the intervention group. The persons in living units allocated to the control group will receive the same attentions and care which were receiving before the enrollment in the study, whereas the persons allocated to the intervention group will add a social robot to their usual therapies and activities. Namely participants will do three weekly individual cognitive stimulation sessions of 10 minutes each one, two weekly group mobility sessions of 30 minutes, one monthly conversational group about customs and traditions of 60 minutes, one 10 minutes videoconference per month with their relatives. Furthermore, participants will be able to interact freely with the robot to obtain information about the center (for instance, what is for dinner) and its activities. The intervention will last 8 weeks. To assess the effectivity, the investigators will assess both groups, before the intervention, at the end of the intervention and 4 weeks after finishing the intervention.
To meet adolescents' needs regarding mental health vulnerability, this study aims to propose and evaluate three original school-based preventive interventions delivered to French 13y-adolescents, with respect to their effects on mental health outcomes, as well as users' experiences of intervention, evaluated through questionnaires. Based on cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) techniques, these interventions target three strategic process areas: reactive adaptation, proactive adaptation, and interpersonal adaptation. Their effectiveness will be evaluated through a four-arm randomized controlled trial, conducted in an ecological context. Intra-group and inter-group comparisons will be carried out for our different variables of interest, namely targeted psychological processes, levels of distress, functional impairment, and well-being, and user experience indicators of acceptability, utility, and usability.
The goal of this observational study is to monitor the floatation experience and continue the program as long as deemed important. The main question it aims to answer is: will inventory wellbeing scores increase according to the number of floatation sessions accrued? Nurses (registered, practitioner, and anesthetist) and physicians, employed at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Trauma Center, Mercy Health, will be welcomed to participate in the floatation experience. Participants will be given an option to complete the Wellbeing Inventory survey prior to each floatation session.
Perioperatively, patients experience an unnecessarily high level of side effects associated with their treatment. These side effects include nausea, severe pain, anxiety, and stress. Moreover, many patients develop postoperative delirium (POD) and neurocognitive dysfunctions, often resulting in long-term cognitive impairment, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality. However, physicians, nurses and their institutions do not receive structured feedback regarding these aspects of each patient's well-being. They may therefore be unable to engage in the essential cause-and-effect learning necessary to evaluate and consecutively reduce such side effects. Effective guidelines conform prevention is the proven key to shielding our patients from adverse Outcomes. The Safe Brain Initiative's high-quality routine data-for-action is a sword and accelerator for moving towards patient-centred, precision care. Thus, establishing a foundation for value-based and patient-centred healthcare development. However, a turnkey real-world solution is challenging to develop and implement and requires substantial resources. As a result, such solutions are usually beyond the scope of a single institution. The SBI platform provides high-quality, real-world data to bridge this gap. It allows monitoring and in-depth analysis of cause and effect in the day-to-day routine of individuals, departments, and institutions. The SBI's approach is continuously improved and updated. An organization called the SBI Global Society oversees the quality and precision of science through experts in the field. At SBI Hospitals and Flagship centres, Masterclasses are conducted and can be attended alongside clinical immersions. SBI Solutions manages, develops, and provides technical and service support for the Safe Brain Initiative. Its service guarantees the professional and GDPR conform management of data handling and storage as well as the user-friendly functionality of the SBI-Dashboard solutions.
The investigators are conducting a randomised-controlled trial comparing coherent breathing at ~5.5 breath cycles per minute-bcpm (with equal inhalation/exhalation durations of ~5.5secs each) to a well-designed placebo (paced breathing at 12bcpm with equal inhalation/exhalation durations of 2.5secs each). The metric of 12bcpm is in line with guidance from the British Journal of Nursing, Royal College of Physicians, and Johns Hopkins University which state that the average, healthy bcpm should range from: 12-20bcpm, 12-18bcpm, and 12-16bcpm, respectively, hence the investigators chose the minimum/lower bound for the active placebo control group. The main questions that our study attempts to address are: Does coherent breathing (and placebo coherent breathing) lead to improved mental health and wellbeing in a general population adult sample? The study will be conducted entirely online through the research platform Prolific, so participant data will be anonymous. The investigators will collect self-reports of mental health and wellbeing before and after the four-week breathwork period, along with a follow-up one-month later. Pre-post intervention and follow-up questionnaires will be completed online via the survey platform Qualtrics which will be linked to Prolific. Participants will also be asked how many times they practiced out of the assigned 28 days, to gauge self-reported adherence to the protocol. The investigators can then observe whether self-reported adherence correlates with changes in mental health and wellbeing, if any. Data on the self-reported credibility/expectancy of the breathwork randomly allocated to participants will also be collected, along with open-ended responses on participants' overall experience of the protocol/study.
Social work is a stressful occupation with social workers at high risk of job-related stress and burnout. Mindfulness has been evidenced as a promising approach for improving: recovery from stress; behavioural responses to stress; and resilience. The main aim of the study is to examine the efficacy of a bespoke, innovative, 6-session Mindfulness Intervention for social workers (MBSWSC) in reducing social worker stress, feelings of burnout, anxiety, low mood and improving well-being. The study will also compare outcomes from the MBSWSC with a briefer, condensed 3 session mindfulness programme (MBSC).
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an online Multi-component psychological intervention, that is focused on providing self-support to the population of 5 Latin American countries and 2 European Countries. The objectives of the intervention are: 1) To reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression in the adult population, 2) To increase the levels of subjective well-being.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a data driven and dynamic systems approach at Danish Vocational schools to promote student health behavior and wellbeing and school organizational readiness.
The aim of this project is to demonstrate the synergistic effect of TRE and NW training on health indicators for older women. The women will be divided into four groups, i.e. Control group (CG); time-restricted eating group (TRG) which will follow 12 weeks of TRE protocol; Nordic walking training group (NWT) which will follow 12 weeks of supervised Nordic walking training and Nordic walking training combined with a time-restricted eating group (NW-TRG). In addition, it is assumed to prove that among young men, TRE will improve adaptation to endurance training and improve the metabolism. The study will be divided into two groups: 1. a group undergoing endurance training and 2. a group combining endurance training with TRE. In all subject's changes in the metabolism of iron, tryptophan, vitamin D and lipids will be evaluated. Endocrine function of skeletal muscles, mental state and cognitive abilities of the subjects will also be examined. The investigators expect that the applied procedure of temporary restriction of food intake will be easy to apply and continue for much longer than the study period. In order to maintain this time window, test subjects will be asked to delay their breakfast and early dinner intake. In addition, it is expected that the improvement in wellbeing, vitality and a significant improvement in performance and biochemical indicators of health, especially in the NWT plus TRE group, will allow to better understand the physiology of exercise, which may result in future specific health recommendations for people of different ages.
This study aims to investigate the effect that increasing levels of self-compassion may have on levels of perceived criticism, self-criticism, and mental health of adults with ADHD. A secondary aim of the study is to capture how feasible using an online self-guided self-compassion practice maybe with people with ADHD. Research Questions 1. Does a short self-guided self-compassion intervention increase levels of state and/or trait self-compassion in adults with ADHD over time? 2. Are changes in state and/or trait self-compassion associated with changes in levels of self-criticism or perceived criticism? 3. Are changes in state and/or trait self-compassion associated with improvements in mental health? 4. Are changes in mental health mediated by changes in self-criticism or perceived criticism?
