Technology-enabled Task-sharing for Depression in Primary Care
DepressionDepression in Old AgeThis study will explore and test the feasibility, acceptability, usability, and preliminary effectiveness of a technology-enabled intervention for depression using task-sharing in primary care. We will a) discover barriers and facilitators to task-sharing by frontline primary care staff; b) design an implementation strategy to support task-sharing to deliver a technology-enabled intervention for depression; and c) conduct a small open-label usability trial of the technology-enabled intervention for depression.

A Prospective Study of Body Image, Social Avoidance and Distress and Psychological Functioning in...
DepressionAnxiety1 moreThe present study seeks to examine the course of body image, social avoidance and psychosocial aspects of depression and anxiety over time in burn patients. Gaining a better understanding of the effects of burn injury on body image in burn patients over time could help us to better understand the psychosocial sequelae of burns and to identify potential interventions which may serve to improve the quality of life in burn patients.
Neuroinflammation, Affective and Cognitive Symptoms in Major Depression and Psoriasis
PsoriasisNeuroinflammation3 moreObjectives: To identify peripheral neuroinflammatory markers in patients suffering from major depression or psoriasis in relation to affective symptoms (anxiety, depression, irritability), fatigue and cognitive symptoms; and their change after specific treatments. Methodology: Observational prospective cohort study in patients diagnosed with major depression and patients with plaque psoriasis, who naturalistically undergo different treatments (systemic or biological for psoriasis, antidepressants for depression). Forty-one patients with major depression attending psychiatric consultations and 82 patients with psoriasis attending dermatology consultations at Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol aged 18 to 65 years old will be selected for inclusion. All of them will be assessed at baseline and after 4 months treatment through a series of demographic and clinical variables, psychiatric diagnosis, psychopathological scales and immunological and biochemical variables after blood draw for obtaining serum, peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and extraction of total RNA. Investigators will analyze the correlation between immunological markers and affective and cognitive symptoms at baseline, as well as their variation after treatment. Subsequently, a bivariate comparative analysis will be carried out, where statistically significant or marginally significant variables associated with psychopathological variables will be used to construct a multivariate model of binary logistic regression.

Depression and Burden in CaregiversThe purposes of this study are to (1) track dementia caregiver health indicators over 12 weeks, both with and without the Mindoula plus DANA intervention (case manager and mobile messaging and assessment applications) to determine if the intervention improves caregiver health and (2) obtain feedback from caregivers to inform on the design of future interventions.
Prenatal Depression and Failure to Breastfeed
Breastfeeding After Discharge From Hospital Following ChildbirthYes/no1 moreThe purpose of this prospective cohort study is to search for a relationship between maternal depression in the third trimester, as indicated by a score of > 12 on the EPDS, and a choice not to breastfeed at all, defined as no breastfeeding after dismissal from the hospital. The investigators hypothesize that women who screen positive for prenatal depression will be significantly less likely to breastfeed their babies after discharge from the hospital following childbirth.
