The Impact

BACKGROUND Mindfulness meditation apps have become popular self-help technology tools to manage stress and improve mental health. Mindfulness meditation classes have been associated with decreased stress levels, but the impact of mindfulness meditation apps at reducing stress levels among college students has not been thoroughly examined. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess how the frequency and duration of mindfulness meditation app use during a two-week interval affected self-reported stress levels. The study analyzed how minutes and days of app use during a 14-day period impacted change in self-reported stress compared to baseline. METHODS A longitudinal sample of 85 undergraduate students were recruited to the study through fliers and in-class announcements. Eligibility requirements ensured that participants had no prior or limited (< 2 hours) experience with mindfulness meditation. Pre- and post-assessment survey questions included perceived stress levels and the frequency and duration of meditation app use during the two-week study interval. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to assess whether there was a relationship between app use and change in stress. RESULTS The mean Perceived Stress Scale scores at time 1 and time 2 significantly differed (P < .001; t = 3.47), such that there was a significant decrease in self-reported stress over the study interval. The number of minutes of mindfulness mobile app use over the 14 days of the study was not predictive of stress change (P = .14), but the number of days practicing mindfulness was a significant predictor of stress change (P = .03). CONCLUSIONS Consistently practicing mindfulness may be more predictive of stress reduction than length of practice, as evidenced by a significant relationship between change in stress and number of days practicing mindfulness meditation, but not number of minutes practiced.

AbstractElderly is a condition in which a person due to his age undergoes biological, physical and behavioural changes. Psychological problems frequently occur at this age are stress. Stress in the ederly if not addressed immediately can cause various impacts in their daily lives such as disruption of the communication process and decreased cognitive power. One of the ways to overcome this disorder is by applying occupational therapy on reducing stress level in the ederly. The analysis result stated there is a differents after applying this therapy. Before applying the intervention, 39 respondents (72,2%) were in moderate stress level. And after the intervention, 28 respondents (51,86%) were in low stress level. Therefore,the therapy has significantly affected on reducing stress level in the elderly with p value 0,001 (<0,005). Thus, nurses expected to apply this therapy as a non-pharmacologic alternative way to reduce the stress level in the elderly.Keyword: the elderly ; stress ; occupational therapy AbstrakLanjut usia adalah seseorang yang karena usianya mengalami perubahan biologis, fisik maupun sikap.

College students in California are unable to meet their basic needs for survival, leaving students across the state without consistent access to food, housing, and health care. Emergency programs and services, both public and private, exist on most college campuses to address students' basic needs. Unfortunately, due to the stigmatization of basic needs insecurities and a lack of widespread knowledge about these services, students who need help meeting their basic needs are not connecting with the programs and services on campus that can help them. This dissertation contends that college students experiencing homelessness, housing insecurity, and food insecurity would benefit from the use of a mobile application that assists users in finding and accessing on-campus and off-campus services, such as housing services, food services, health care services, financial services, personal care services, and LGBTQ+ student services. Using the frameworks of design science research, public participatory GIS, and critical GIS and tools such as Esri's QuickCapture, Esri's Web App Builder, React Native Listings, Termly, ATLAS.ti, Qualtrics, and Google Forms, this dissertation illustrates the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of a model of a mobile application, the Campus Cares Community App, that connects student users with basic needs services. The dissertation includes a literature review of all of the studies conducted on college students' experiences with basic needs insecurities in the U.S. and California and a review of the public policies shaping college students' experiences with basic needs insecurities. The literature review shows that despite the increased empirical examination of college students' experiences with basic needs insecurities in recent years, there have been few uses of geospatial tools, methods, or artifacts to support research about this topic or development of solutions to address this problem. Geospatial methods can help researchers to document, describe, and analyze data about students' experiences with basic needs insecurities because these conditions are experienced geographically. Many applied geospatial tools can be useful in addressing this problem because these tools provide user-friendly, cost-effective methods for connecting people with other people, locations, and institutions. In addition, the dissertation presents a comprehensive explanation of the iterative process of designing and developing a model of a mobile application in consultation with important stakeholders and potential users, such as students and staff who work with students experiencing basic needs insecurities. Three iterative cycles were performed, during which processes such as: reviewing existing tools to support service navigation, collecting information about software and applications for designing the application, selecting and testing multiple programs and applications, creating a model of an application showing proof of concept of the idea, brainstorming ideas for the app with potential users, naming the application, and developing a template of the application occurred. The evaluation of the model of the mobile application employed the System Usability Scale (SUS) and five open-ended questions to assess the usability of the application. The five participants who responded to the survey containing the SUS and the evaluative open-ended questions found the Campus Cares Community App to be usable and useful. The participants also shared ideas for improvements and revisions to the application which can be applied in future iterative cycles. A mobile application to support students experiencing basic needs insecurities is feasible, usable, and beneficial. College administrators can consider implementing the Campus Cares Community App on their campuses as an additional instrument of mitigation to support students experiencing basic needs insecurities.

Reducing Stress

The purpose of this study is to investigate the needs of pediatric cancer patients to alleviate some of the stress associated with their treatments and hospitalization. Two pediatric nurses and six parents of children with childhood cancer diagnoses were interviewed to determine the best methods of stress reduction during cancer treatments. Using the information gathered, a qualitative content analysis was conducted using pre-coded themes to determine prevalent ideas throughout the interviews. Themes that emerged for reducing stress included building trust with parents and medical staff, becoming comfortable in a new environment, and distraction during invasive procedures. An augmented reality concept was tested using a medium-fidelity prototype consisting of a customizable teddy bear and Adobe XD mobile application simulation. The evidence collected during interviews and medium-fidelity prototype testing shows great promise for Cub Companion’s ability to provide distraction during treatments and help the child build trust with medical personnel.

Cancer is acknowledged as a source of stress for many individuals, often leading to suffering, which can be long-lasting. Mindfulness-based stress reduction offers an effective way of reducing stress among cancer patients by combining mindfulness meditation and yoga in an 8-week training program. The purpose of this study was to inspect studies from October 2009 to November 2015 and examine whether mindfulness-based stress reduction can be utilized as a viable method for managing stress among cancer patients. A systematic search from Medline, CINAHL, and Alt HealthWatch databases was conducted for quantitative articles involving mindfulness-based stress reduction interventions targeting cancer patients. A total of 13 articles met the inclusion criteria. Of these 13 studies, 9 demonstrated positive changes in either psychological or physiological outcomes related to anxiety and/or stress, with 4 describing mixed results. Despite the limitations, mindfulness-based stress reduction appears to be promising for stress management among cancer patients.

Biofeedback Device

Abstract Background Stress can negatively impact an individual’s health and well-being and high levels of stress are noted to exist among college students today. While traditional treatment methods are plagued with stigma and transfer problems, newly developed wearable biofeedback devices may offer unexplored possibilities. Although these products are becoming commonplace and inexpensive, scientific evidence of the effectiveness of these products is scarce and their feasibility within research contexts are relatively unexplored. Conversely, companies are not required, and possibly reluctant, to release information on the efficacy of these products against their claims. Thus, in the present pilot, we assess the feasibility of using a real-time respiratory-based biofeedback device in preparation for a larger study. Our main aims were to assess device-adherence and collaboration with the company that develops and sells the device. Method Data were collected from 39 college students who self-identified as experiencing chronic stress at a Southwestern university in the USA. Students were randomized into either a mindfulness-only control group without a biofeedback device (n = 21), or an experimental group with biofeedback device (n = 18). Both groups received mindfulness meditation training. Pre-test and post-test procedures were conducted 2 weeks apart. Further, both participant compliance and company compliance were assessed and collaboration with the company was evaluated. Results Participant device-adherence as well as the company’s collaboration necessary for a full-scale study was determined to be low. This may also have affected our results which showed a strong main effect for time for all outcome variables, suggesting all groups showed improvement in their levels of stress after the intervention period. No group by time effects were identified, however, indicating no added benefit of the biofeedback device. Conclusions Our findings suggest feasibility of future studies requires full collaboration and detailed and agreed upon data sharing procedures with the biofeedback company. The particular device under investigation added no value to the intervention outcomes and it was not feasible to continue a larger-scale study. Further, as the technology sector is innovating faster than it can validate products, we urge for open science collaborations between public and private sectors to properly develop evidence-based regulations that can withstand technological innovation while maintaining product quality, safety, and effectiveness.
