The Baby Steps Web Program for the Well-Being of New Parents: Randomized Controlled Trial

The Baby Steps Web Program for the Well-Being of New Parents: Randomized Controlled Trial

For either Baby Care tips or the ones in other modules, the participants in Baby Steps Wellbeing could identify goals, solve problems, develop a plan, set times to take action, and record their successful completion. A list of successfully completed plans was available. A web-based scrapbook was used to store photos of good times with their baby, and their dashboard presented due dates for their action plans, together with a rotating quiz question about baby care, a tip, and a scrapbook photo.

Web-Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Distressed Cancer Patients: Randomized Controlled Trial

Web-Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Distressed Cancer Patients: Randomized Controlled Trial

However, how to deliver evidence-based psychosocial care on a population basis, given the current and future predicted prevalence of cancer and increasingly limited health care resources, remains a challenge. Approaches to more effectively deliver evidence-based psychosocial care include a low-intensity framework through which cost-effective services can be delivered.

Baby Steps - An Online Program Promoting the Well-Being of New Mothers and Fathers: A Study Protocol

Baby Steps - An Online Program Promoting the Well-Being of New Mothers and Fathers: A Study Protocol

Treatment with a mental health professional is not easily accessible for non-urban populations, creating a barrier for treatment [28]. There is growing evidence, however, that interventions may not always require substantial clinician involvement to reduce distress. A single face-to-face psychoeducational session with a maternal and child health nurse was found to reduce depression and anxiety in women without psychiatric histories [23].

The OnTrack Diabetes Web-Based Program for Type 2 Diabetes and Dysphoria Self-Management:  A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol

The OnTrack Diabetes Web-Based Program for Type 2 Diabetes and Dysphoria Self-Management: A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol

Although current trials show that Web-based diabetes programs have substantial promise, there remains a need to enrich available data on their effects on both mood and glycemia. Given the close mutual influences between dysphoria and diabetes self-management, including the challenging context of psychosocial [55] and emotional stressors [56] in which self-management is attempted, a Web intervention that utilizes a holistic approach to diabetes self-management is required.

Development of the OnTrack Diabetes Program

Development of the OnTrack Diabetes Program

Dysphoria appears to be both a consequence of Type 2 diabetes and to have a role in the condition’s pathogenesis [9], impairing glycaemic control both directly via physiological mechanisms, and indirectly via reduced diabetes self-care [10,11]. As a result, dysphoric patients have an increased risk of diabetes complications [12,13] and premature mortality [14]. Optimal diabetes management therefore requires that both mood and behavioral disease self-management be targeted.
