Augmentation of cognitive-behavioural therapy for obsessive-compulsive and anxiety disorders: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: While cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders (ADs) has been proven to be effective and is commonly recommended, a considerable proportion of patients remain symptomatic, do not respond to treatment or discontinue it. Thus, augmentation strategies aimed at enhancing CBT outcomes are essential to reduce the burden of OCD and ADs on patients and society. Various augmentation strategies for CBT in OCD and ADs have been investigated, yet it remains unclear if they show robust beneficial effects beyond first-line CBT.

[Digital Beacons of Hope? The Challenges and Potentials of Digital Health Applications for Children and Adolescents with Mental Disorders in Germany].

Digital Beacons of Hope? The Challenges and Potentials of Digital Health Applications for Children and Adolescents with Mental Disorders in Germany With the Digital Healthcare Act, Germany has taken a decisive step toward promoting high-quality, evidence-based digital health applications (DiHAs). Presently, there is a significant gap in the provision of mental health services throughout Germany, particularly regarding children and adolescents and especially in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. DiHAs as low-threshold, location- and time-independent additional mental health services - may offer a way to address this situation.

Mindfulness programs for problematic usage of the internet: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Problematic usage of the internet (PUI) is an umbrella term for a range of uncontrolled, excessive, and potentially harmful online behaviors. Recently, numerous studies have examined the potential of mindfulness programs (MPs) for reducing PUI. We conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis in this emerging field.

Therapeutic alliance in videoconferencing psychotherapy compared to psychotherapy in person: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Videoconferencing psychotherapy (VCP) delivers treatment to individuals with limited access to face-to-face mental healthcare. VCP's effectiveness has been demonstrated for various disorders and therapeutic interventions. However, there is contradictory evidence regarding the therapeutic alliance in VCP as compared to psychotherapy in person (PIP).

Open-label placebos-a systematic review and meta-analysis of experimental studies with non-clinical samples.

The use of open-label placebos (OLPs) has shown to be effective in clinical trials. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine whether OLPs are effective in experimental studies with non-clinical populations. We searched five databases on April 15, 2021.

Mindfulness for internet use disorder: a study protocol of a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Internet use disorder (IUD) is on the rise and is associated with detrimental health consequences. Growing evidence suggests that mindfulness-either as a trait or cultivated in mindfulness-based programmes (MBPs)-is promising in preventing and treating IUD. With this systematic review and meta-analysis, we will examine (1) the association between trait mindfulness (TM) and IUD and (2) the effectiveness of MBPs in reducing IUD.

Prevalence of Second Victims, Risk Factors, and Support Strategies among German Nurses (SeViD-II Survey).

Background: Second victim phenomena (SVP) are critical to workplace and patient safety, and epidemiological data are limited to investigate the causes and impact on German health care. We investigated SVP in German nurses regarding prevalence, causes, and predisposition compared to a preceding study on German physicians (Second Victims in Deutschland/SeViD-I).

Methods: We conducted a nationwide anonymous cross-sectional online study in 2020 using a modified SeViD questionnaire including the BFI-10 (personality traits).

The impact of a tailored mindfulness-based program for resident physicians on distress and the quality of care: A randomised controlled trial.

Background: Many resident physicians suffer from distress, which endangers their individual health and the quality of care.

Objective: To examine the impact of a tailored mindfulness-based program (MBP) for resident physicians on distress and the quality of care.

Methods: A single-centre, two-armed, longitudinal randomised controlled trial.

Mindfulness-based and acceptance-based programmes in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder: a study protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) with exposure and response prevention is the recommended standard for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, a high proportion of patients refuse this treatment, do not respond or relapse shortly after treatment. Growing evidence suggests that mindfulness-based and acceptance-based programmes (MABPs) are an effective option for the treatment of OCD.

A tailored mindfulness-based program for resident physicians: A qualitative study.

Background: Diminished well-being is prevalent in resident physicians. This qualitative study explored the effects of a tailored mindfulness-based program (MBP) aimed at increasing resident physicians' well-being. A second goal was to compare the MBP with an active control group.

Mindfulness-Based Interventions to Reduce Burnout and Stress in Physicians: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies evaluating the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in reducing burnout and stress among physicians.

Method: The authors searched records in MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, PSYNDEX, Web of Science, CINAHL, and CENTRAL from database inception to August 8, 2019, using combinations of terms for mindfulness, interventions, and physicians. Eligible studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and nonrandomized trials (NRTs), including controlled and noncontrolled before-after studies, all assessing burnout and stress among physicians preintervention and postintervention via validated instruments.

Mindfulness-based programme for residents: study protocol of a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Residency is a stressful phase associated with high prevalence of mental distress. Besides impaired personal health, mental distress in residents has an impact on the quality of patient care and produces economic costs. Therefore, there is demand for interventions that improve resident physicians' mental health.

Mindfulness-based interventions to reduce burnout and stress in physicians: a study protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Physicians often suffer from burnout and stress, not only affecting themselves, but also their patients and the healthcare system in general. An increasing number of studies suggest that mindfulness-based interventions improve physicians' well-being as well as the quality of care they deliver. However, the evidence is scattered, and a systematic review and meta-analysis is lacking.
