Intervention strategy including behavioral-cognitive therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation are promising in improving life quality, disease symptom and outcomes. But there's not standard algorithm in China so far. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of these interventions and develop an intervention algorithm of anxiety and depression in COPD.
Effectiveness & Cost-effectiveness of Internet-delivered Interventions for Depression and Anxiety...
DepressionAnxiety Disorders6 moreDepression and anxiety are common mental health problems. There are effective treatments for depression and anxiety and one of these is talking therapies using cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). In recent years CBT has been transferred to online delivery methods and these interventions have proven successful for people being treated with symptoms of depression and anxiety. The current study will utilise a randomised controlled trial design, where the majority (n=240) of participants will be allocated to the immediate treatment (internet-delivered CBT for either depression or anxiety), and a smaller number (n=120) will be allocated to a waiting list. The waiting list group will receive treatment after an eight week wait. This design helps us to understand that any changes in symptoms in the treatment group will be likely due to the treatment they received compared to the waiting list. A sample size of 360 participants is proposed and has been adjusted to ameliorate against patient dropout. Follow-up and maintenance of any positive changes in symptoms is very important in CBT for depression and anxiety, simply because some people can have a relapse of symptoms. We will therefore follow-up the treatment group for 3, 6, 9 and 12 months to assess maintenance of positive gains from treatment. The study also seeks to investigate the cost effectiveness of the treatments.

Lifestyle Medicine for Depression
DepressionThis study will examine the feasibility and efficacy of lifestyle medicine for the management of depression in Chinese adult population. The main components of lifestyle intervention typically include physical activity, diet, relaxation/mindfulness, and sleep. While lifestyle medicine has been recognized for centuries as a means to improve physical health, the field of lifestyle medicine in the context of mental health is still in its infancy. In the existing literature, there is increasing evidence demonstrating the efficacy of individual components of lifestyle medicine (e.g, physical activities and sleep) on depression. However, there is very limited research on the effectiveness of an integration of multiple lifestyle adjustments on depression.
Self-help Lifestyle Medicine for Depression and Anxiety
DepressionAnxietyThis study will examine the effects of smartphone-based lifestyle medicine (LM) for alleviating depressive and anxiety symptoms in Chinese population. Since a range of lifestyle factors are involved in the pathogenesis and progression of depression and anxiety, modifying different lifestyle factors simultaneously, for example, diet, exercise, stress and sleep which are empirically supported by previous reviews, may be effective to reduce depressive and anxiety symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine concepts will be integrated into the app to increase the acceptability towards mental health treatment. Through this study, we aim to promote evidence-based patient care and to improve help-seeking and access to evidence-based interventions for depression and anxiety.
