Active clinical trials for "Anxiety Disorders"

Virtual reality application, which is a non-pharmacological method, is used for different purposes in many different fields. One of the areas where virtual reality application is used is health services. Its use in the field of obstetrics is new. Virtual reality application is often in pregnancy; it is used to reduce pain, stress and anxiety levels, exercise training and train pregnant women to effectively manage their pain during childbirth. Although pregnancy is a normal physiological process, adverse situations may occur that can make every pregnancy risky. Threatened premature birth, which is called the onset of uterine contractions without cervical changes between the 20th and 37th weeks of pregnancy, is also among these risk groups. Pregnant women diagnosed with the threat of premature birth are usually treated by hospitalization. Psychological problems such as stress, fear and anxiety may develop in pregnant women who are on bed rest in the hospital. In these pregnant women, mother-infant attachment may also be adversely affected. Pregnant women who are hospitalized and taken to bed rest due to risky pregnancy need to be informed and supported by health personnel. The midwife's spending enough time with the pregnant woman, keeping in touch and meeting her needs increase satisfaction in terms of care. When the literature was examined, it was determined that pregnant women were satisfied with the virtual reality application and thus increased care satisfaction.

This study investigated the effect of cognitive-behavioral interventions package (CBIP) on pain and anxiety related to peripheral venous cannulation (PVC) in children aged 7-12 years.

The aim of the study was to observe the effect of the use of vibrating tourniquet and distraction card on the pain, fear and anxiety levels felt during the blood collection process in children. The study was conducted between July 2021 and March 2022 as a randomized controlled study with totally 120 children in three groups. The 'Child and Parent Identification Form' was used for socio-demographic data about the child and the parent before phlebotomy. The 'Visual Analog Scale (VAS)', 'Child Fear Scale (CFS)' and 'Child Anxiety Scale-State Scale (ÇAS-D)' were used before, during and after the phlebotomy. Vibrating Tourniquet Group (intervention group 1) consists of a total of 40 children. Distraction Cards Group (intervention group 2) consists of a total of 40 children. Control group consists of a total of 40 children.

This research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to reduce the anxiety expectant mothers feel when on a non-stress test.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of relaxation exercise with VR (Virtual Reality) glasses on pain severity, anxiety level, physiological symptoms of anxiety and satisfaction in patients undergoing endoscopy.

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercises on coping with fetal anxiety and prenatal stress during pregnancy. Methods: This randomized controlled study was carried out at a family health center in eastern Turkey. The study sample consisted of 106 pregnant women (experimental group, 54; control group, 54). Those in the experimental group received diaphragmatic breathing exercises five times in two weeks, one time via face-to-face session and 4 times twice a week via video call. Those in the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using the Revised-Prenatal Coping Inventory (NuPCI) and the Fetal Health Anxiety Inventory (FHAI).

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) safety video on clinician anxiety and perceived self-efficacy.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of virtual reality glasses and smartphone game applications on preoperative anxiety in children who have day surgery. The study comprised of 60 children (20 children in a virtual reality glass game application group, 20 children in a smartphone game application group, and 20 children in a control group). The approval of the ethics committee, permissions from the institutions, and informed voluntary approval of the children's were obtained to conduct the research. The data of the research were collected through the Children's Perioperative Multidimensional Anxiety Scale (CPMAS), physiological parameters of children were measured before, after and 90 minutes after the operation, and salivary cortisol sample taken before surgery in all of groups. Children in smartphone game application groups played a game for 15 minutes on a smartphone before the surgical operation, and standard care was given to children. Children in virtual reality game application groups played a game for 15 minutes on virtual reality glasses before the surgical operation, and standard care was given to children. Before the surgical operation, standard care was given to children in control groups. The value of p<0.05 was accepted statistically significant in the data analyses.

Ostrobothnia Depression Study (ODS) was conducted in the South Ostrobothnia hospital district of Finland during 2009-2014. ODS is a naturalistic, open label, non-randomized follow-up study on depression and related substance use disorders (SUD). The study focuses on several aspects concerning the relation of depression and SUDs, the efficacy of selected assessment and treatment protocols, characteristics and genetics of the participants and the use of related biomarkers in clinical practice. The misused substance in focus is alcohol. In this study, dual diagnosis (DD) is defined as the simultaneous presence of clinically diagnosed major depressive disorder (MDD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD). The study was approved by the local ethics committee. Written informed consent was collected from all participants.

Hospitalization is a stressful and threatening experience, which can be emotionally devastating to children. Hospital play interventions have been widely used to prepare children for invasive medical procedures and hospitalization. Nevertheless, there is an imperative need for rigorous empirical scrutiny of the effectiveness of hospital play interventions, in particular, using play activities to ease the psychological burden of hospitalized children. This study tested the effectiveness of play interventions to reduce anxiety and negative emotions in hospitalized children. A non-equivalent control group pre-test and post-test, between subjects design was conducted in the two largest acute-care public hospitals in Hong Kong. A total of 304 Chinese children (ages 3-12) admitted for treatments in these two hospitals were invited to participate in the study. Of the 304 paediatric patients, 154 received hospital play interventions and 150 received usual care.
