EBIS: The Eindhoven Breech Intervention Study

Breech PresentationExternal Cephalic Version4 more

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether successful external cephalic version is associated with maternal thyroid function and mood state in pregnant women with breech presentation at term. The relationship between successful external cephalic version and neonatal thyroid function will also be investigated. A possible beneficial effect of successful external cephalic version on the development of congenital hip dysplasia will be evaluated.

Biological Biomarkers in MOMS Partnership

Psychological Stress

The investigators propose to evaluate the potential utility of stress-related biomarkers obtained via dried blood spots (DBS) and retinal scans by collecting new data from mothers and children within the New Haven MOMS Partnership, a well-established community-partnered research setting. The proposed research could greatly advance the application of stress-related biomarkers within community-based research by increasing our understanding of how stress, trauma, and depression influence biology in childhood and adulthood, as measured using minimally-invasive approaches.

A Daily Coping Toolkit for Medical Personnel and First-Responders During COVID-19 Pandemic

Psychological Stress

During the current COVID-19 Pandemic, all communities are relying heavily on medical personnel and first-responders to maintain high levels of psychological and occupational functioning. However, during times of persistent high levels of stress, many individuals experience depletion in psychological resources, suffering intense distress that can make daily occupational and interpersonal functioning difficult. In order to assist with this immense challenge, this research team has developed a brief daily intervention based on decades of stress and trauma research that may help to support psychological health in individuals on the frontlines who are most essential to society. Considerable evidence supports the role of attention to and conceptualization of emotional experience in psychological resilience. This project tests a highly innovative combination of interventions targeting these processes in a brief, daily activity. The primary project aim is to investigate the Daily Coping Toolkit for medical personnel and first responders to determine efficacy over time, to test relative dosing, and to explicate the underlying therapeutic processes. The toolkit consists of 3 activities, administered one time each day, taking minutes to complete and will be administered to n=1000 personnel. Data analysis will test the impact of the toolkit on momentary affective processes and on symptoms and wellbeing over 9 months. The impact of this research will be evidence to support the further use of this novel tool to assist essential front-line personnel during this ongoing crisis helping to mitigate the psychological toll and also support occupational functioning now and in the future.

Effect of Vibroacoustic Therapy on Acute Stress in University Students

StressPsychologic

The goal of the planned Randomized Control Trial is to explore the effect of vibroacoustic therapy on acute stress of university students. The theoretical framework of the study is based on biopsychosocial model of stress and multimodal approach to measurement. The trial is designed as single-blinded, placebo-controlled, with participants individually randomized into two parallel-groups, including equal randomization and blocked allocation of participants. 420 participants are all full-time university students (18-30 years) and will be divided into two groups: an experimental group (receiving low vibrations combined with music) and a control group (only music without low-frequency sounds). For both groups acute stress response will be measured by spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV SA), galvanic skin response (GSR), salivary cortisol, standardized psychological questionnaires - visual analogue scales for stress (VAS-stress) and Perceived Stress Scales-10, Czech version (PSS-10). It is expected that the experimental group will demonstrate a lower level of stress response that will be measured by higher activity of parasympathetic activity, lower level of skin resistance, lower level of salivary cortisol and lower subjective perception of stress. If vibroacoustic therapy turns out to be effective, it can be viewed as safe, student-friendly and inexpensive prevention of stress-related health problems and promote the health of students in the course of university education.

Mental Stress & Diesel Exhaust on Cardiovascular Health

Blood PressureInflammation1 more

This study uses an experimental design to conduct a double-blind, randomized, crossover study where participants receive both diesel exhaust and a mental stress test in a controlled setting. My hypothesis is that the synergistic effect of stress and air pollution will result in higher levels of stress and inflammation (measured via biological markers) as well as poorer cardiovascular disease related outcomes compared to the independent effect of each exposure separately.

MAMA NO STRESS Project. The Effects of the "HAPPY MAMA" Intervention

DepressionPostpartum5 more

This study evaluates the effects of a postpartum intervention in increasing the maternal well-being and self-efficacy of Italian women in the first one to six months after childbirth, as well as in reducing postpartum depression and stress. The intervention will use the motivational interviewing against high levels of daily stress. One third of participants will be exposed to a 3,5 hours group intervention approximately 1 month after delivery, one third will be exposed to an individual intervention in the same period and one third will receive no intervention. Participants will be followed with stress and depression questionnaires.
