acute effects of progressive muscle relaxation on State Anxiety and subjective well being in chronic bulgarian patients with schizophrenia
Psychiatria Danubina, 2012Co-Authors: Asen Georgiev, Michel Probst, Marc De Hert, Valentina Genova, Anastasiya Tonkova, Davy VancampfortAbstract:SUMMARY Background: Recently, there has been an interest in the relative effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) within the multidisciplinary treatment of patients with schizophrenia.The present study is aimed at providing evidence on the efficacy of PMR as means of alleviating the State Anxiety and psychological distress and a way to increase subjective well-being in chronic patients with schizophrenia. Subjects and methods: Sixty four schizophrenia patients underwent 2 sessions of PMR. On the third session they were randomly allocated to either the PMR or the reading control condition. The State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) was used to assess State Anxiety and the Subjective Exercise Experience Scale (SEES) to assess psychological distress and subjective well-being before and after the third session for both groups. Results: Our data show a significant time by group interaction for the SAI and SEES (Wilks λ=0.58, p<0.001). Effect sizes for PMR were -0.22 (95%CI=-0.73 to 0.19) for State Anxiety, -0.96 (95%CI=-0.41 to -1.43) for psychological stress, and +1.01 (95%CI=0.45 to 1.54) for subjective well-being. Conclusion: The present study provides scientific evidence for the utility of PMR in the chronic psychiatric settings for patients with schizophrenia.

State Anxiety psychological stress and positive well being responses to yoga and aerobic exercise in people with schizophrenia a pilot study
Disability and Rehabilitation, 2011Co-Authors: Davy Vancampfort, Jan Knapen, Marc De Hert, Katrien Maurissen, Seppe Deckx, Martien Wampers, H Demunter, Michel ProbstAbstract:Purpose. Worsening of schizophrenia symptoms is related to stress and Anxiety. People with schizophrenia often experience difficulties in coping with stress and possess a limited repertoire of coping strategies. A randomised comparative trial was undertaken in patients with schizophrenia to evaluate changes in State Anxiety, psychological stress and subjective well-being after single sessions of yoga and aerobic exercise compared with a control condition.Method. Forty participants performed a single 30-min yoga session, 20-min of aerobic exercise on a bicycle ergometre at self-selected intensity and a 20-min no exercise control condition in random order.Results. After single sessions of yoga and aerobic exercise individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder showed significantly decreased State Anxiety (p < 0.0001), decreased psychological stress (p < 0.0001) and increased subjective well-being (p < 0.0001) compared to a no exercise control condition. Effect sizes ranged from 0.82 for psycholo...

State Anxiety and subjective well being responses to acute bouts of aerobic exercise in patients with depressive and Anxiety disorders
British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2009Co-Authors: J Knapen, Davy Vancampfort, Michel Probst, Elke Sommerijns, Pascal Sienaert, Guido Pieters, P Haake, Joseph PeuskensAbstract:Objective: Acute aerobic exercise is associated with a reduction in State Anxiety and an improvement in subjective well-being. The objective of the present study was to contrast the effects of aerobic exercise at self-selected intensity versus prescribed intensity on State Anxiety and subjective well-being (negative affect, positive well-being and fatigue) in patients with depressive and/or Anxiety disorders. In addition, the potential impact of heart rate feedback was assessed. Methods: Nineteen men and 29 women performed three test conditions on a bicycle ergometer during 20 minutes: two tests at self-selected intensity; one with and another without heart rate feedback, and a third test at the prescribed intensity of 50% of the maximal heart rate reserve according to Karvonen. Tests were executed in random order. State Anxiety and subjective well-being were evaluated using the State Anxiety inventory and the subjective exercise experiences scale. Results: After 20 minutes cycling, patients showed significantly decreased State Anxiety and negative affect in the three conditions. The magnitude of the reduction did not differ significantly between the three conditions. Only cycling at self-selected intensity enhanced positive well-being. Cycling at 50% of the maximal heart rate reserve decreased fatigue, whereas cycling at self-selected intensity increased fatigue. Conclusions: The response in State Anxiety and negative affect was unaffected by the type of aerobic exercise. Self-selected intensity influenced exercise-induced changes in positive well-being and fatigue in a positive and negative way, respectively.

auricular acupuncture effectively reduces State Anxiety before dental treatment a randomised controlled trial
Clinical Oral Investigations, 2012Co-Authors: Andrea Michaleksauberer, Erich Gusenleitner, Andreas Gleiss, Gabor Tepper, Engelbert DeuschAbstract:The objective of this study was to analyse whether auricular acupuncture, acupuncture at the outer ear, could reduce State Anxiety before dental treatment. This prospective, randomised patient-blinded study with 182 patients compared Anxiety before dental treatment following auricular acupuncture at the relaxation-, tranquillizer- and master cerebral points (auricular acupuncture group) versus acupuncture at sham points (finger-, shoulder- and tonsil points; sham group) and a non-intervention control group. Anxiety was assessed using the Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory (German version) before auricular acupuncture and 20 min thereafter, immediately before dental treatment. Auricular acupuncture reduced State Anxiety score more effectively from 54.7 ± 10.8 to 46.9 ± 10.4 (mean ± SD) than sham acupuncture from 51.9 ± 10.2 to 48.4 ± 10.0. In contrast, State Anxiety in the control group increased from 51.0 ± 11.7 to 54.0 ± 11.6 (mean increase +3.0; CI +4.7 to +1.2). The decrease in State Anxiety in both intervention groups was statistically significant (p < 0.001) when compared to the non-intervention control group. After correcting for group differences in baseline State Anxiety, the reduction in Anxiety was −7.3 score points (CI −9.0 to −5.6) in the auricular acupuncture group and −3.7 score points (CI −5.4 to −1.9) in the sham group (p = 0.008). Auricular acupuncture, a minimally invasive method, effectively reduces State Anxiety before dental treatment. Auricular acupuncture could be an option for patients scheduled for dental treatment, who experience an uncomfortable degree of Anxiety and request an acute intervention for their Anxiety.

excessive media consumption about covid 19 is associated with increased State Anxiety outcomes of a large online survey in russia
Journal of Medical Internet Research, 2020Co-Authors: Nikita A Nekliudov, Oleg Blyuss, Ka Yan Cheung, Loukia Petrou, Jon Genuneit, Nikita Sushentsev, Anna Levadnaya, Pasquale ComberiatiAbstract:Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has potentially had a negative impact on the mental health and well-being of individuals and families. Anxiety levels and risk factors within particular populations are poorly described. Objective: This study aims to evaluate confidence, understanding, trust, concerns, and levels of Anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic in the general population and assess risk factors for increased Anxiety. Methods: We launched a cross-sectional online survey of a large Russian population between April 6 and 15, 2020, using multiple social media platforms. A set of questions targeted confidence, understanding, trust, and concerns in respondents. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to measure Anxiety. Multiple linear regressions were used to model predictors of COVID-19–related Anxiety. Results: The survey was completed by 23,756 out of 53,966 (44.0% response rate) unique visitors; of which, 21,364 were residing in 62 areas of Russia. State Anxiety Scale (S-Anxiety) scores were higher than Trait Anxiety Scale scores across all regions of Russia (median S-Anxiety score 52, IQR 44-60), exceeding published norms. Time spent following news on COVID-19 was strongly associated with an increased S-Anxiety adjusted for baseline Anxiety level. One to two hours spent reading COVID-19 news was associated with a 5.46 (95% CI 5.03-5.90) point difference, 2-3 hours with a 7.06 (95% CI 6.37-7.74) point difference, and more than three hours with an 8.65 (95% CI 7.82-9.47) point difference, all compared to less than 30 minutes per day. Job loss during the pandemic was another important factor associated with higher S-Anxiety scores (3.95, 95% CI 3.31-4.58). Despite survey respondents reporting high confidence in information regarding COVID-19 as well as an understanding of health care guidance, they reported low overall trust in State and local authorities, and perception of country readiness. Conclusions: Among Russian respondents from multiple social media platforms, there was evidence of higher levels of State Anxiety associated with recent job loss and increased news consumption, as well as lower than expected trust in government agencies. These findings can help inform the development of key public health messages to help reduce Anxiety and raise perceived trust in governmental response to this current national emergency. Using a similar methodology, comparative surveys are ongoing in other national populations.
