For example, in patients receiving allo-SCT, pretransplant anxiety, depression, and stress have been associated with delayed white blood cell recovery, slower immune function recovery, and shorter survival. In contrast, pretransplant optimism, positive affect, and social support correlate with a shorter time to engraftment and reduced incidence of GVHD [14-17].

Effects of Using a Smart Bassinet on the Mental Health of Military-Affiliated Pregnant Women: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Sleep Health and Mood in Newly Expectant Military Mothers (SHINE) Trial

Postpartum mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are the most common and disabling complications of childbearing. They are often underdiagnosed and undertreated [1]. PMADs are recognized to seriously affect both mother and baby [2,3]. In fact, mental health conditions are a leading contributor to maternal morbidity, with suicide as a major cause of postpartum death. According to the Department of Defense, the number of females in the US military constituted 17.3% of the total force in 2021 [4].

Cooperative Virtual Reality Gaming for Anxiety and Pain Reduction in Pediatric Patients and Their Caregivers During Painful Medical Procedures: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Cooperative Virtual Reality Gaming for Anxiety and Pain Reduction in Pediatric Patients and Their Caregivers During Painful Medical Procedures: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Our intervention addresses a range of medical procedures that have shown to be highly anxiety- and stress-inducing in pediatric patients but can generally be performed without anesthesia. It is possible that patient anxiety and pain ratings differ for different procedures and that these perceptions influence the effect of our intervention. Fundamental anxiety as a patient characteristic (ie, trait anxiety) is also a likely influencing factor for anxiety and pain ratings [19].
