Changing Trends in Suicidal Ideation and Its Influencing Factors During the Transition From Quarantine to Post-Quarantine Among Chinese University Students During the COVID-19 Surge: Six-Wave Panel Study

Changing Trends in Suicidal Ideation and Its Influencing Factors During the Transition From Quarantine to Post-Quarantine Among Chinese University Students During the COVID-19 Surge: Six-Wave Panel Study

When individuals are confronted with intense and prolonged uncertainty stress, it can have detrimental effects on their mental and behavioral well-being [18]. The COVID-19 pandemic is characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, as it emerged suddenly, spread rapidly, and then declined abruptly. These factors contribute to a significant level of uncertainty stress.

The Moderating Effect of Atypical Events on the Relationship Between Heart Rate and Stress in Medical Residents Working in an Intensive Care Unit: Longitudinal, Observational Daily Diary Study

The study also reported a significant increase in subjectively recorded stress levels during the clinical period; however, it did not assess the association between mean HR and subjective stress directly [33].

Exploring the Impact of Home-Based Serious Smartphone Resuscitation Gaming on Stress Among Nursing Students Practicing Simulated Adult Basic Life Support: Randomized Waitlist Controlled Trial

Exploring the Impact of Home-Based Serious Smartphone Resuscitation Gaming on Stress Among Nursing Students Practicing Simulated Adult Basic Life Support: Randomized Waitlist Controlled Trial

We used physiological metrics (EDA, BT, and HR) to measure stress levels, implementing the pretrained random forest classifier, one of the most widely used machine learning techniques [50], and was developed by Hosseini et al [33]. The classifier was trained on the Affective Road dataset [51], optimized through grid search and cross-validation, and categorized stress into three levels: 0 (no stress), 1 (moderate stress), and 2 (high stress).

Supporting Police Well-Being Through an Adaptive Shift Management System: Co-Design Study

Supporting Police Well-Being Through an Adaptive Shift Management System: Co-Design Study

These stressors often lead to high rates of psychological stress, including anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder [2]. High levels of stress among police officers have been linked to poor sleep quality, fatigue, malnutrition, long-term physical disabilities, sedentary lifestyles, impaired cognitive function, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, poor work-life balance, less family time, and mental health issues [3].

Effects of Cold and Vibration on Venipuncture Pain Management in Children Aged 2-7 Years Old: Randomized Controlled Trial

Effects of Cold and Vibration on Venipuncture Pain Management in Children Aged 2-7 Years Old: Randomized Controlled Trial

Needle-related procedural pain is one of the primary sources of stress in childhood, causing fear in children [3]. Early pain experiences can affect physiological indicators and hormonal changes in children, potentially leading to reduced immunity and disrupted pain thresholds in the long term, which is detrimental to the development of the nervous system [4]. Furthermore, Cuenca-Martínez et al [5] suggest that children are more likely to develop a bias in pain memory toward acute pain.

Mindful Nonreactivity, Anxiety, Depression, and Perceived Stress as Mediators of the Mindfulness Virtual Community Intervention—Pathways to Enhance Mental Health in University Students: Secondary Evaluation of Two Randomized Controlled Trials With Student Participants

Mindful Nonreactivity, Anxiety, Depression, and Perceived Stress as Mediators of the Mindfulness Virtual Community Intervention—Pathways to Enhance Mental Health in University Students: Secondary Evaluation of Two Randomized Controlled Trials With Student Participants

Perceived stress was evaluated using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), a 10-item, 4-point Likert scale (item range: 0‐4, total score: 0‐40) [53]. Quality of life was evaluated by the 16-item, 7-point (item range: 1‐7, total score: 16‐112) Quality of Life Scale (QOLS) [54].

Exploring the Impact of the Caring Contacts Intervention on the Stress and Distress of Veterans and Service Members: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Exploring the Impact of the Caring Contacts Intervention on the Stress and Distress of Veterans and Service Members: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Traditional pre- and postintervention assessments often fail to account for the nuanced, day-to-day, or even rapid fluctuations in SI, stress, and distress [43]. This study will be the first to use periodic ecological momentary assessment (EMA) during a study of the Caring Contacts intervention to capture how the intervention decreases SI, stress, and distress.

Open Source Web Application (HealthTest) for Emotional Health and Wellness Management in University Students: Development and Usability Study

Open Source Web Application (HealthTest) for Emotional Health and Wellness Management in University Students: Development and Usability Study

A 2020 study conducted in Spain revealed that female health care professionals experienced higher levels of anxiety, stress, and depression compared to their male counterparts, with these issues being more prevalent among individuals aged 20 to 37 years [3]. The prevention and treatment of mental health issues are crucial due to their impact on quality of life and daily functioning [4,5].

Novel Virtual Reality Intervention for Stress Reduction Among Patients With or at Risk for Cardiovascular Disease: Mixed Methods Pilot Study

Novel Virtual Reality Intervention for Stress Reduction Among Patients With or at Risk for Cardiovascular Disease: Mixed Methods Pilot Study

VR has now demonstrated promise as a treatment modality for anxiety, phobias, depression, autism, and posttraumatic stress disorder as well as a way to aid in meditation [20-29]. Thus, VR is a potentially powerful tool to target stress reduction in patients with CVD.

Effect of a Family-Centered Empowerment Model–Based Intervention on the Caregiving Capacity and Preparedness of Caregivers of Children With Malignant Neoplasms: Protocol for a Quasi-Experimental Study

Additionally, the study aims to examine the effects of the empowerment intervention on caregivers’ self-efficacy as well as their levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. This study has the following research hypotheses: Statistically significant differences in caregiver preparedness and caregiving capacity will occur after the FCEM intervention program.
