Patient Anxiety and Concern as Predictors for the Perceived Quality and Efficacy of Treatment

AnxietyOrthopedic Surgery

Background: Previous studies have shown that anxiety and dissatisfaction with patient progress are predictors for increased postoperative pain and reduced impact and efficacy of pain treatment. However, it remains to be shown whether patient anxiety and concern are predictors for the perceived quality of patient progress and the perceived efficacy of treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a correlation between preoperative anxiety and concern, and the perceived quality and efficacy of postoperative treatment. The hypothesis is that anxious and concerned patients are less satisfied with treatment and have a poorer response of their treatment. Methods/design: This PhD-project consists of four coherent studies. 1) A methodological study evaluating the CMD-SQ (Common Mental Disorder - Screening Questionnaire) questionnaire by a test-retest study. 2) The main study, a prospective follow-up study, has the aim of investigating the correlation between patient anxiety and concern, their perceived quality of patient progress and the perceived efficacy of treatment. This correlation will be detected by means of five questionnaires: CMD-SQ, EQ-5D, SF-12, HVOK, OHS or OSS. 3) A study consisting of an explicit internal medical audit with the aim to investigate whether the medical assessment of patient efficacy of treatment is consistent with their own self-reported efficacy of treatment. 4) An intervention study designed as a randomized clinical trial. The aim is to investigate whether a targeted effort towards patients with a high score of CMD-SQ, i.e. patients with anxiety and concern, can increase their self-reported efficacies of treatment and their perceived quality of progress. A total of 800 hip- and shoulder-patients will be included. Discussion: If a correlation between patient anxiety and concern, their perceived quality of progress and the perceived efficacy of treatment is found, it will be relevant to screen all hip- and shoulder-patients for anxiety and concern preoperatively and deal with this before their operation. This study will provide a proposition of how these patients can be taken care of through cognitive behavioural therapy as a targeted effort towards their anxiety and concern. Aim and hypothesis: The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a correlation between patient anxiety and concern, and their perceived quality and efficacy of treatment. The overall hypothesis is that patients who are anxious and concerned are less satisfied with their treatment and have a poorer overall efficacy of their treatment.

Depression and Anxiety in Long Term Coronavirus Disease COVID-19

Covid19Depression1 more

Background : Depression and Anxiety are linked to COVID (Coronavirus Disease)-19 long-term impact through several mechanisms. The possible way is the alteration of neurotransmitter regulation from the interaction of severe acute respiratory syndrome -Coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV2) with Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, and Dopa Decarboxylase (DDC), an enzyme that associated with the production of dopamine, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters. However, some arguments exist that depression and anxiety occur naturally due to external stressors, as the impact of public health measures, and not associated with physiological changes due to viral infection. Objective: This study aims to identify whether the patient discharged after COVID 19 treatment has significant changes in serotonin and dopamine level which might induce depression and anxiety internally and, To distinguish external etiologies that might induce depression and anxiety such as social isolation and stress due to public health restriction. Method: A prospective longitudinal study of people with the interest exposure is COVID 19 and the primary outcome is Depression, Anxiety, and Neurotransmitter level Hypothesis: People with a previous infection of COVID 19 have a significant difference in neurotransmitter level over time and compared to non exposed group and a higher prevalence of anxiety and depression.

The Impact of Information Sources on Mental Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic

DepressionGeneralized Anxiety1 more

Study description: The present study seeks to investigate the impact of various sources of information on psychopathology, and specifically health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study will investigate the divergent impact of various information sources on these psychopathological symptoms during the pandemic. Hypotheses and research questions: Hypothesis 1: Media consumption across all information sources will significantly be associated with depression and anxiety symptoms, with increased media consumption in general associated with higher levels of health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Hypothesis 2: Using social media and online interactive platforms to obtain news about the pandemic in comparison to using traditional media (e.g., TV, radio, and newspapers) will be associated with higher levels of health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Actively staying away from information will further significantly be associated with higher levels of higher levels of health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Research Question 1: Is there a differential effect among different information sources on health anxiety, depression and general anxiety? To what extend and how are different information sources related to symptoms of health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Exploratory: Additionally, we will exploratory investigate to what extent the amount of use of different information sources impact health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. We will also examine effect sizes with part correlations, to investigate information sources with the most and least detrimental impact on health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Furthermore, we will report which information platforms participants reported as most useful with regards to information concerning how to best deal with the pandemic.

Anxiety AcuteAmniocentesis1 more

Both amniocenteses and especially feticide are procedures that incorporate both anxiety and pain. As anxiety and pain can be reduced when using a distraction, The investigators speculate that the use of virtual reality glasses during these procedures will elevate both anxiety and pain. The investigators will examine this hypothesis by comparing two groups of participants who undergo amniocentesis or feticide, one group will undergo the procedure while using virtual reality glasses and the other without the use of the glasses.

Preoperative Anxiety's Incidence and Related Factors in Surgical Patients

Elective SurgeryIntravenous Anesthesia1 more

Preoperative anxiety is often described as an uncomfortable, tense unpleasant mood before surgery, an emotional response to a potential challenge or threat to reality. Data show that adult patients with preoperative anxiety rate of 30-40%. The main reason for the occurrence of patients for surgery, anesthesia and other factors of fear. Preoperative anxiety itself is not a mental illness, but studies have confirmed that the occurrence of preoperative anxiety and postoperative complications were positively correlated, and the existence of preoperative anxiety in patients with conventional postoperative analgesic effect is poor. At present, there are still few studies on the relationship between preoperative anxiety and postoperative complications and analgesia. At the same time, there is a lack of large sample size to study the incidence of preoperative anxiety and its related predictors.
