Book excerpt: Research demonstrates that exercise interventions are effective in decreasing depressive symptoms; however, these treatments are infrequently implemented in clinical practice. Self-management techniques offer an effective, cost-efficient approach to teaching individuals with depression to engage in increased physical activity. This study evaluated a treatment package including goal setting, self-monitoring, and feedback for increasing participants' daily steps. Secondary measures included depressive symptoms, sleep quality and duration. A changing-criterion design within a concurrent multiple baseline design across two participant dyads was used. Results demonstrated that the treatment was efficacious for increasing walking in participants, with varying degrees of consistency. Additionally, increased walking may improve sleep duration. Mid-treatment scores on the University Student Depression Inventory showed decreases in some symptoms (i.e., lower total and, or subscale[s] scores) suggesting walking may be associated with a decrease in some symptoms. Clinician ratings on the Clinical Global Impression Scale indicated that the change in symptoms were significant.
Book Synopsis Investigating the Effects of Physical Activity Counselling on Depressive Symptoms, Affect and Physical Activity in Female Undergraduate Students with Depression by : Taylor McFadden

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: In Canada, women aged 15-24 report the highest rate of depression, an age group which represents a significant proportion of undergraduate students (Hanlon, 2012). Although pharmacology remains the primary treatment for depression, it may not be the most sufficient (Stanton et al., 2014). Physical activity has been demonstrated to have a large and significant antidepressant effect in individuals with depression (Schuch et al., 2016), though what remains challenging is identifying the most effective way to activate this population. Physical Activity Counselling (PAC) has been shown in research to effectively increase levels of physical activity (Fortier et al., 2011). However, the effects of PAC have not been considered in a population of female students with depression specifically. Purpose: To investigate the effects of PAC on depressive symptoms, affect and physical activity in female undergraduate students with depression. Methods: Five female undergraduate students with depression received two months of PAC from a registered Kinesiologist. The study followed a multiple baseline, single-subject design in which measures were taken during four study phases: baseline, intervention, end point and follow-up. Data was collected, including daily objective measures of physical activity, using accelerometers, and self-reported measures of depressive symptoms, positive affect, negative affect and physical activity, using online surveys administered every second day. Results: Visual analyses revealed that depressive symptoms decreased and self-reported physical activity increased from baseline throughout subsequent study phases in all five participants, as hypothesized. Statistical analyses supported these results. Estimated effect sizes of grouped averages indicated that decreases in depressive symptoms from baseline throughout each study phase ranged from small to large, while increases in self-reported physical activity were in the medium to large range. Conclusions: Findings of this study provide initial support for Physical Activity Counselling as a potential strategy to increase physical activity levels and reduce depression among female undergraduate students with depression. Future research is recommended on this important topic.

This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical activity and exercise were receiving a great attention as a strategy of prevention and treatment of affective and some anxiety disorders. Many studies have showed the efficacy of exercise in major depression and at depressed episode of bipolar patients, as well as, some authors shows the benefits of exercise in some anxiety disorders like Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic. Despite their efficacy, little is known concerning the main mechanisms related to the antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of exercise. Several studies in an animal model using Neurotrophic Factors, Oxidative Stress, Immunologic response and other biological markers reveal promising results. However, few studies were conducted in clinical samples. Additional to the antidepressant and anxiolytic effects, exercise appears improve QoL in major depressed, bipolar and anxiety patients. Theoretically, this increase may be associated with cognitive improvements, improvements at sleep quality, physical functioning, as well as other psychological issues as self-esteem, self-concept, and general well-being. The propose of this topic is to address the novelty and most recent research, related to antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of physical activity and exercise in patients with affective and anxiety disorders, as well as the issues associated with QoL improvement.The topic is looking for: – Clinical trials using exercise and physical activity as a treatment affective and anxiety disorders. – Studies investigating the optimal prescription factors (dose, volume, intensity, setting, frequency) associated with antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of physical activity and exercise for affective and anxiety disorder patients. – Original studies, comprehensive reviews, hypothesis and opinions concerning the mechanisms of antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of physical activity and exercise in affective and anxiety disorder patients. – Original studies, comprehensive reviews, hypothesis and opinions concerning other benefits of physical activity and exercise like : cognition, weight gain prevention and QoL in affective and anxiety disorder patients. – Translational research. – Studies of cost-efficacy analysis.
Book Synopsis The Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Depression in College Students by : Sasha Samaranayake
Download or read book The Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Depression in College Students written by Sasha Samaranayake and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The purpose of this review is to examine the antidepressant effects of aerobic exercise on depression in college students. Hypothesis: This researcher hypothesizes that aerobic exercise will decrease symptoms of depression in college students and be just as effective in treating depression as other forms of treatment. Methods: An electronic search was conducted using research databases, PsycARTICLES (EBSCO) and PubMed. Specific search terms were used to narrow down the search such as: "college students", "physical activity, "exercise", "mental health" and "depression symptoms". A selection criteria was established with certain criteria needing to be met such as: published in the last 10 years, college students, symptoms of depression or diagnosis of clinical depression, engaging in physical activity or aerobic exercise, and peer-reviewed. Once articles were screened, they were thoroughly read and examined. Results: In reviewing the literature it was found that aerobic exercise did indeed aid in lowering symptoms of depression. Aerobic exercise was just as effective at treating depression even when compared to other forms of treatment, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Discussion: Time spent exercising, frequency of exercise, and obtaining an exercise plan from a health professional, all contributed to lowering symptoms of depression. Active college student's experienced lower rates of depression than their inactive peers. Playing a sport and regularly exercising were found to be protective factors for depression and suicide.
Book Synopsis The Correlation Between Physical Activity Status and Depressive Symptoms in Undergraduate College Students by : Evan Hermanson
Download or read book The Correlation Between Physical Activity Status and Depressive Symptoms in Undergraduate College Students written by Evan Hermanson and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine if there is a correlation between physical activity status and depressive symptoms in undergraduate college students. Physical activity was measured through self-reported questions, while depressive symptoms were measured through the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). A correlation research design was used, with the alpha set as 0.05. The most significant correlations were between physical activity status and the responses to the BDI-II questionnaire responses. Seven of the 21 questions had a significant correlation with physical activity status. Question 5 regarding guilt (p=-0.337), question 10 regarding crying (p=-0.417), question 14 regarding appearance (p=-0.510), question 15 regarding work (p=-0.600), question 17 regarding fatigue(p=-0.490), question 18 regarding appetite(p=-0.364), and question 20 regarding health worries (p=-0.363) had significant correlations with physical activity status. These findings suggest that a relationship exists between physical activity and depressive symptoms.
Book Synopsis Inner Experiences: Theory, Measurement, Frequency, Content, and Functions by : Alain Morin
Download or read book Inner Experiences: Theory, Measurement, Frequency, Content, and Functions written by Alain Morin and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One fundamental topic of scientific inquiry in psychology is the study of what William James called the “stream of consciousness”, our ongoing experience of the world and ourselves from within—our inner experiences. These internal states (aka “stimulus-independent thoughts”) include inner speech, mental imagery, feelings, sensory awareness, internally produced sounds or music, unsymbolized thinking, and mentalizing (thinking about others' mental states). They may occur automatically during mind-wandering (daydreaming) and resting-state episodes, and may focus on one's past, present, or future (“mental time travel”--e.g., autonoetic consciousness). Inner experiences also may take the form of intrusive or ruminative thoughts. The types, characteristics, frequency, content, and functions of inner experiences have been studied using a variety of traditional methods, among which questionnaires, thought listing procedures (i.e., open-ended self-reports), thinking aloud techniques, and daily dairies. Another approach, articulatory suppression, consists in blocking participants' use of verbal thinking while completing a given task; deficits indicate that inner speech plays a causal role in normal task completion. Various thought sampling approaches have also been developed in an effort to gather more ecologically valid data. Previous thought sampling studies have relied on beepers that signal participants to report aspects of their inner experiences at random intervals. More recent studies are exploiting smartphone technology to easily and reliably probe randomly occurring inner experiences in large samples of participants. These various measures have allowed researchers to learn some fundamental facts about inner experiences. To illustrate, it is becoming increasingly clear that prospection (future-oriented thinking) greatly depends on access to autobiographical memory (past-oriented thinking), where recollection of past scenes is used as a template to formulate plausible future scenarios. The main goal of the present Research Topic was to offer a scientific platform for the dissemination of current high-quality research pertaining to inner experiences. Although data on all forms of inner experiences were welcome, reports on recent advances in inner speech research were particularly encouraged. Here are some examples of topics of interest: (1) description and validation of new scales, inventories, questionnaires measuring any form of inner experience; (2) novel uses or improvements of existing measures of inner experiences; (3) development of new smartphone technology facilitating or broadening the use of cell phones to sample inner experiences; (4) frequency, content, and functions of various inner experience; (5) correlations between personality or cognitive variables and any aspects of inner experiences; (6) philosophical or theoretical considerations pertaining to inner experiences; and (7) inner experience changes with age.

This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diet and exercise have long been recognized as important components of a healthy lifestyle, as they have a great impact on improving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular functions, lowering the risk of metabolic disorders, and contributing to healthy aging. As a greater proportion of the world’s population is living longer, there has been increased interest in understanding the role of nutrition and exercise in long-term neurological health and cognitive function. Diet and Exercise in Cognitive Function and Neurological Diseases discusses the role and impact that nutrition and activity have on cognitive function and neurological health. The book is divided into two sections. The first section focuses on diet and its impact on neurobiological processes. Chapters focus on the impacts of specific diets, such as the Mediterranean, ketogenic and vegan diets, as well as the role of specific nutrients, fats, fatty acids, and calorie restriction on neurological health and cognitive function. The second section of the book focuses on exercise, and its role in maintaining cognitive function, reducing neuroinflammatory responses, regulating adult neurogenesis, and healthy brain aging. Other chapters look at the impact of exercise in the management of specific neurological disorders such Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease. Diet and Exercise in Cognitive Function and Neurological Diseases is a timely reference on the neurobiological interplay between diet and exercise on long-term brain health and cognitive function.

Book Synopsis Evidence-Based Adjunctive Treatments by : William O'Donohue
Download or read book Evidence-Based Adjunctive Treatments written by William O'Donohue and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-04-28 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adjunctive treatments, in which patients are provided additional modalities that can assist in their behavior change or the maintenance of their behavior change (i.e. telehealth, psychoeducation, consumer-driven treatment planning), have a useful role in addressing problems that can't be solved by face-to-face meetings. The adjunctive therapies covered in this book are all based on improving patient’s self management of their problems or the factors that exacerbate their problems. The book is broadly organized into two sections. The first gives a broad overview of the major adjunctive modalities and the second concentrates on a systematic description of their role in the treatment of a number of special populations while providing practical suggestions for the timing and coordination for the use of the adjunctive therapies discussed in the book.
Book Synopsis Addressing Depression Through Physical Activity Among Adults Enrolled in a Diabetes Self-management Educational Program by : Jemina Monique Liverman
Download or read book Addressing Depression Through Physical Activity Among Adults Enrolled in a Diabetes Self-management Educational Program written by Jemina Monique Liverman and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Diabetes is a widespread chronic disease affecting millions of people annually. Individuals living with chronic diseases endure higher morbidity and associated mortality rates from comorbid complications such as depression. The prevalence of depression among individuals living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) has soared in primary care clinics necessitating an influx of patient referrals to behavioral health providers. Lifestyle management is a vital key to decreasing comorbid complications and managing associated depression. The literature supported physical activity as a potential effective evidence-based practice (EBP) intervention to improve depression levels. Dorothy Johnson's Behavioral System Model and the Stetler Model of Evidence-Based Practice were used to guide this EBP quality improvement (QI) project. The project was implemented at a rural outpatient healthcare center located in Virginia. The intervention included group exercise sessions offered to 17 participants with type 2 DM who were also experiencing positive depression scores. The outcome measured for pre- and post-intervention was depression scores. Evaluation of the pre-and post- PHQ-9 scores revealed an improvement in depression scores. These results matter because individuals living with type 2 DM and who simultaneously endure worsening depression symptoms are often unrecognized and/or untreated in primary care. Adding physical activity options to the overall self-management approach in individuals with type 2 DM offers a viable strategy to improve overall physical health and decrease commonly experienced feelings of depression. Key words: Diabetes, depression, patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9), physical activity, exercise, type 2 DM " -- Abstract
