Abstract:

Communication, anxiety and satisfaction during pregnancy was examined. Ley (1977) presents a cognitive model to explain satisfaction and its links with understanding. Janis (1958, 1971) notes a curvilinear relationship between anxiety and post-operative coping and postulates that information, anxiety and cognitive preparation are the variables accounting for this. Kumar and Robson note that obstetric anxiety is related to concerns for maternal and infant well being rather than irrational anxiety. This study examined the experience of women, stressors, communication satisfaction, knowledge and

Results showed that diazepam used in moderate doses for 6 weeks produced anxiety recurrence and withdrawal symptoms. b) 10 GAD patients were randomly allocated to Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and compared with the above diazepam and placebo groups.

Abstract:

This study was conducted to determine whether or not a significant difference exists in pregnant women among those receiving therapeutic touch, mock therapeutic touch, or no touch on measurements of anxiety and well-being. Thirty third trimester primigravida subjects were tested pre- and postintervention using the State-Anxiety Inventory and a Well-Being Visual Analog; heart and respiratory rates were monitored before, during, and after the treatment. No significant differences were found using analysis of covariance with the pre-test scores as the covariate. The findings indicate that therape

This study examined Hanin's (1980) zone of optimal functioning (ZOF) theory. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether being in or out of a ZOF could be used to predict performance of 19 female and 16 male varsity college swimmers. Determining ZOFs required a two part strategy. In part one, subjects retrospectively revealed optimal anxiety using the SAI and CSAI-2 anxiety inventories. Standard deviations from this portion of the study were used to determine the size of individual ZOFs. Each swimmer was assigned SAI, cognitive, somatic, and selfconfidence ZOFs. In part two, swi

This study examined the effects of attentional focus, anxiety, and fatigue on tinnitus distress, intensity and pitch in a group of 60 adults with tinnitus. Subjects were randomly allocated to one of three experimental groups or to a group performing a control task. In order to provide a naturalistic parallel to the laboratory manipulation, subjects kept a diary of similar variables for one week. The experimental manipulations showed that an increase in attentional focus on tinnitus led to a significant increase in perceived tinnitus intensity.

The purpose of this study was to develop a model of investigating anxiety in human-computer interactions. The model was constructed from three components. Firstly, precursor conditions of anxiety were identified by assimilating several of the accepted theoretical viewpoints of the anxiety concept. Secondly, the computer-human interaction process was examined and typical events in this process were identified. Finally, a connection between the computer-human interaction process and anxiety was proposed by identifying a subset of specific interaction events that were representative of the anxiet

Abstract:

As a leading cause of disability that often leads to death, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be characterized as both a chronic illness and a life-threatening one. As a result, the experience of individuals with COPD can include psychological concerns that are associated with both rehabilitation and palliative care. At the same time, the often-uncertain trajectory of COPD obscures a clear transition from rehabilitation to palliative care. It is not surprising, therefore, that treatments aimed at addressing patients’ rehabilitative and palliative needs largely proceed independen
