Psychological Resilience

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if diaphragmatic breathing and box breathing work to enhance resilience and manage stress in physical therapy students. It will also learn about their effects on overall physiological and psychological parameters. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do these breathing techniques improve heart rate variability (HRV)? How do these interventions affect participants' perceived stress levels, cognitive performance, and academic achievement? Researchers will compare diaphragmatic breathing and box breathing to a control group to see if these non-invasive methods work to improve physiological adaptation and manage stress. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to practice diaphragmatic breathing, practice box breathing, or join a control group Have their heart rate variability (HRV) measured as a primary sign of physiological adaptation Complete assessments to evaluate their perceived stress, cognitive performance, and academic achievement

This cross-sectional descriptive study aims to identify the demographic, occupational, organisational and individual psychological factors that predict burnout among physiotherapists working in active clinical practice in Turkey. Using a four-block hierarchical multiple regression approach, the relative contribution of workload and role factors, organisational factors, psychological resilience, self-efficacy and Type A behaviour pattern to the three dimensions of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and personal accomplishment) will be quantified. Turnover intention is examined as a secondary dependent variable. Data are collected through an anonymous online survey distributed nationwide.

To handle daily life challenges, one needs to be psychologically resilient. It plays a crucial role in disease development, prognosis, as well as social, occupational, and community participation. Cardiovascular diseases cause physical and psychological stress, which can be linked to individual resilience and the development of such diseases. Stress can trigger TakoTsubo cardiomyopathy and acute coronary events. Individuals who have experienced TakoTsubo cardiomyopathy or an acute coronary event often feel stressed due to emotional or physical triggers. These triggers may include job loss or illness. In medical rehabilitation, therapists consider the individual circumstances of their patients when planning therapy. It may be important to add a special focus on psychological care, including building resilience, which could greatly benefit these individuals. Therefore, the study aims to investigate whether resilience training, as part of an inpatient multidisciplinary rehabilitation program, affects the individual resilience of rehabilitants with TakoTsubo cardiomyopathy or those who have experienced an acute coronary event.

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an empowerment-based psychoeducation program on burnout, self-leadership, mindfulness, and psychological resilience among nurse managers. The study population consists of nurse managers working in healthcare settings. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether the psychoeducation program reduces burnout levels and improves self-leadership, mindfulness, and psychological resilience among nurse managers. The main research questions are as follows: Does the empowerment-based psychoeducation program reduce burnout levels in nurse managers? Does the program improve self-leadership levels in nurse managers? Does the program increase mindfulness levels in nurse managers? Does the program enhance psychological resilience in nurse managers? In this randomized controlled design, participants will be assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive a structured empowerment-based psychoeducation program lasting five weeks, while the control group will not receive any intervention. Participants will undergo the following procedures: Completion of baseline (pre-test) assessments (T1) Participation in the psychoeducation program for the intervention group (5 weeks) No intervention for the control group Completion of post-intervention assessments (T2) Completion of follow-up assessments three months after the intervention (T3) The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the development of evidence-based interventions aimed at strengthening managerial competencies and psychological well-being among nurse managers.

Clinical nurses are frequently exposed to high emotional demands due to heavy workloads, time pressure, patient suffering, and the interpersonal complexity of clinical care. These stressors may contribute to compassion fatigue, burnout, reduced resilience, and decreased occupational well-being. However, timely and accessible psychological support is often limited in busy clinical environments, and many nurses may hesitate to seek help due to stigma, time constraints, or limited resources. This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled, parallel-group interventional trial designed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of an on-demand, human-centered emotional support intervention delivered through a LINE-based GPT assistant. The AI assistant provides real-time supportive conversations, reflective prompts, stress-coping guidance, and resilience-enhancing strategies tailored specifically for clinical nurses, offering a private and easily accessible support resource. Eligible clinical nurses (target sample size: 100-120) are randomly assigned to either an Intervention Group, which interacts with the AI assistant, or a Control Group, which receives non-interactive static messages, over a four-week intervention period. Primary outcomes include changes in compassion fatigue, burnout, and compassion satisfaction, as measured by the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL). Secondary outcomes include changes in resilience (Brief Resilience Scale), general self-efficacy (General Self-Efficacy Scale), and perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale-10). The results of this study are expected to provide evidence on the feasibility and potential effectiveness of AI-based emotional support as a scalable and accessible tool to promote psychological well-being among clinical nurses, thereby informing future digital mental health interventions in healthcare settings.

This clinical study aims to learn whether a psychological resilience training program is helpful for children aged 10 to 12 years. The program is designed to help children cope better with stress, get along better with others, and use digital media in a healthier way. The main questions this study seeks to answer are: Does the training increase children's psychological resilience? Does it improve children's social adjustment and close relationships with family and friends? Does it help reduce problematic media use? Children who take part in the study are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group takes part in a psychological resilience training program, and the other group does not receive any training during the study period. Children and their parents complete questionnaires before the program and again after the program is completed.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention on stress levels, psychological resilience, and academic self-efficacy among nursing students in Somalia. Nursing students often experience high levels of stress due to academic demands, clinical training, and challenging social and environmental conditions. Mindfulness-based interventions have been shown to improve mental well-being and coping skills in various student populations, but evidence from low-resource and conflict-affected settings remains limited. In this randomized controlled trial, nursing students will be assigned either to a mindfulness-based intervention group or to a control group receiving no intervention during the study period. The intervention consists of structured mindfulness sessions focusing on breathing awareness, body awareness, emotional regulation, and present-moment attention over a three-week period. Outcomes including perceived stress, psychological resilience, and academic self-efficacy will be measured before and after the intervention using validated self-report instruments. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the understanding of non-pharmacological, low-cost mental health interventions for nursing students in low-resource settings.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of music therapy awareness, mindfulness-based breathing, and core exercises on stress, resilience, and relaxation in university students. Stress is highly prevalent in this population and can negatively affect both academic performance and physical and psychological health. By combining music therapy with breathing and core exercises, the study seeks to provide a holistic approach to improving students' well-being
