The aim of study is to determine the possibility to reduce the level of anxiety as personality trait in the time of 22- month-long psychotherapeutic and educational group with using concepts of psychoorganic analysis – a relatively new branch of psychotherapy. The following concepts are used. Three relation forms: the unary form include a symbiotic relation level (undifferentiated sense of existence), the dual form is the binary and dialogic relation (“I am –YOU are”), the ternary form means the relation what is including a structure and the presence of the THIRD. The analysis and the evolution of three forms help to make sense of obstructive psychic occurrences in person. These occurrences are basis for life contracts, which have been protectively, but become troublesome in the lifetime. An activation of a micro–macro regulation is important in order the transformation of these occurrences. The evolution of three forms are the background for biodynamic work and the appropriate transformative intervention. The work of groups (36 participants in 2 groups) is managed from 8 psychotherapists and it is done following set instructions. Changes were evaluated 6 times with State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The results show statistically significant reduction of the level of the trait anxiety of STAI-Y (p<.05) related to the group program and dynamic.

AbstractBackground:Cardiac catheterisations for CHD produce anxiety for patients and families. Current strategies to mitigate anxiety and explain complex anatomy include pre-procedure meetings and educational tools (cardiac diagrams, echocardiograms, imaging, and angiography). More recently, three-dimensionally printed patient-specific models can be added to the armamentarium. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of pre-procedure meetings and of different educational tools to reduce patient and parent anxiety before a catheterisation.Methods:Prospective study of patients ≥18 and parents of patients <18 scheduled for clinically indicated catheterisations. Patients completed online surveys before and after meeting with the interventional cardiologist, who was blinded to study participation. Both the pre- and post-meeting surveys measured anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. In addition, the post-meeting survey evaluated the subjective value (from 1 to 4) of individual educational tools: physician discussion, cardiac diagrams, echocardiograms, prior imaging, angiograms and three-dimensionally printed cardiac models. Data were compared using paired t-tests.Results:Twenty-three patients consented to participate, 16 had complete data for evaluation. Mean State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores were abnormally elevated at baseline and decreased into the normal range after the pre-procedure meeting (39.8 versus 31, p = 0.008). Physician discussion, angiograms, and three-dimensional models were reported to be most effective at increasing understanding and reducing anxiety.Conclusion:In this pilot study, we have found that pre-catheterisation meetings produce a measurable decrease in patient and family anxiety before a procedure. Discussions of the procedure, angiograms, and three-dimensionally printed cardiac models were the most effective educational tools.

AbstractObjectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive effects of anxiety, experienced on the third day after delivery, on postnatal depression, evaluated around the sixth week postpartum.Method: The subjects were 291 postpartum mothers who responded to a certain number of inclusion criteria. The EPDS (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) and the STAI (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) were used to evaluate the anxious and depressive symptomatology on the third day postpartum and around the sixth week postpartum. The mothers who obtained scores indicating a probable risk of postnatal depression also completed the Beck Depression Inventory.Results: We observed that 31% of the mothers showed postpartum blues symptomatology on the third day postpartum. Around the sixth week postpartum 13% of the mothers showed postnatal depression. The results suggest that the level of trait anxiety (β = 0.39; t = 3.64 p < 0.05) and more particularly the intensity of the postpartum blues symptomatology (β = 0.50; t = 6.88 p < 0.001) can predict the risk of postpartum depression. Furthermore, 17.9% of the mothers with postnatal depression around the sixth week postpartum were not detected by the EPDS on the third day after delivery. However, all these mothers were detected by the State-Trait anxiety inventory.Conclusion: A high level of anxiety during the first few days after delivery may contribute to the mothers' risk of developing postnatal depression. The early detection of high anxiety levels may enable the early screening of mothers at risk of developing postnatal depression.

Abstract ABSTRACT Background: Nursing students experience a significant level of stress and anxiety prior to the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of anxiety coping program on the OSCE performance level of first-year nursing students in Shiraz, Iran. Methods: The present two-stage interventional study was conducted among 76 nursing students; control group: n=35 and intervention group: n=41. Data collection instruments included a demographic characteristic form and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire. The intervention group followed anxiety coping program before taking the OSCE. The STAI questionnaire was filled in before and after the OSCE and the results were compared with those of the control group. The data were analysed using SPSS software (version 22.0). P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Demographic characteristics of the participants indicated an overall homogeneity within the study population. As a result of the anxiety coping program, a substantial reduction in the anxiety score (by 11.61 units) in the intervention group was observed. There was a significant difference in the pre- and post-exam anxiety scores between the control and intervention groups (P=0.001). The anxiety coping program improved the examination results of nursing students in the final exam compared to the midterm results (an increase of 0.9487 units, P=0.001). Conclusion: The anxiety coping program reduced the anxiety level among nursing students and improved their OSCE results. Educational planners should consider anxiety reduction strategies to help students improve their examination results. Keywords: Anxiety, Nursing Students, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory

In this study were examined correlations among irrationality, ability to discriminate rationality, and trait anxiety. The Irrational Beliefs Test with standard instructions was the estimate of subjects' rationality. The same test with instructions to mark the most rational responses to test items assessed ability to discriminate rationality. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory measured trait anxiety. For subjects, 152 college students, a significant positive correlation was found between irrationality and trait anxiety and a significant but low correlation between irrationality and discrimination ability. The correlation was deemed too weak to have practical utility. There was no significant correlation between discrimination ability and trait anxiety. It was concluded that gains reported from Rational Emotive Therapy, such as increased rationality and anxiety reduction, may be primarily due to factors other than teaching clients to discriminate rational from irrational beliefs.

Kutatásunk célja az SPSI—A (Social Problem Solving Inventory—Adolescent, Frauenknecht és Black, 2010) adaptálása volt 12 és 16 évesek körében (N=540). A kérdőív konvergens és diszkriminatív validitásának vizsgálatához az SPSI—R-t (Social Problem Solving Inventory—Revised, D’Zurilla és mtsai, 2002), a Davis által kidolgozott empátiakérdőívet (Interpersonal Reactivity Index, 1980), valamint a Spielberger- féle vonás - és állapotszorongást mérő kérdőívet (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, Spielberger és mtsai, 1973) használtuk. Az eredeti kérdőív 10 faktoros, 64 kijelentésből áll. A feltáró és a megerősítő faktorelemzés eredményei alapján a magyar változat — SPSI—A(H) – 54 tételt tartalmaz, melyek 11 faktorba csoportosulnak (az eredeti Gondolatok faktor kijelentései elkülönülnek a Pozitív gondolatok és a Negatív gondolatok faktorba). A kérdőív mind a 12, mind a 16 évesek mintáján jó megbízhatósággal (a Cronbach-α sorrendben 0,81 és 0,83) mér. Az eredmények alapján az SPSI—A(H)-t alkalmasnak tartjuk a problémamegoldással kapcsolatos automatikus gondolatok, a problémamegoldáshoz való érzelmi, gondolati viszonyulás, az elkerülés, a probléma meghatározása, a célmeghatározás, az alternatív megoldási módok keresése, a következmények végiggondolása, illetve a nem megfelelő megoldás esetében a gondolatok, teendők újraszervezése és az utólagos kiértékelés mérésére.
