Well-Being (Psychological Flourishing)

In the present study, the investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of brief, co-designed mindfulness and identity-affirming micropractices for LGBTQ youth and young adults experiencing housing instability. Participants (n = 200, accounting for anticipated attrition) will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions: (1) a mindfulness and identity-based micropractice condition or (2) a structurally equivalent neutral control condition. The intervention content will be developed using a participatory co-design process with members of the target population and standardized prior to trial implementation. The mindfulness and identity condition integrates brief practices targeting present-moment awareness and identity affirmation, whereas the control condition accounts for time and attention without including these components. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and three-month follow-up. Primary outcomes include feasibility and acceptability, assessed using standardized implementation outcome measures and indicators of intervention adherence. Secondary outcomes include changes in mental health symptoms, psychological and emotional well-being, and substance use. The investigators will evaluate whether the mindfulness and identity-based condition demonstrates greater improvements in outcomes compared to the control condition and will estimate effect sizes to inform the design of future fully powered trials. The intervention will be delivered via a mobile-accessible platform.

This research aims to investigate the potential impact of a structured mindfulness-based professional development program on hotel employees and to explore why and how these changes occur during and after the mindfulness intervention through a mixed-methods approach. A 6-week mindfulness intervention with 60 hotel staff from a hotel will be implemented in Hong Kong. Both quantitative and qualitative data will be collected to examine changes in job-related outcomes, wellbeing, and state mindfulness and teachers' lived experiences and perspectives associated with this intervention. Data will be analyzed based on convergent parallel mixed-method approach, such as mixed-effects modeling, mediation analysis, and thematic analysis. This study may provide practical implications for developing evidence-based programs to promote wellbeing and service quality among hotel employees.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if psychology and music based interventions can impact anxiety and overall wellbeing in adolescents enrolled in choral music classes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do specific psychology and music based breathing interventions impact anxiety and overall wellbeing in adolescents? Do specific psychology and music based performance anxiety reduction interventions impact anxiety and overall wellbeing in adolescents? Do specific psychology and music based emotion regulation interventions impact anxiety and overall wellbeing in adolescents? Researchers will compare results of pre-test data, post-test data, qualitative interviews, and surveys of adult choral directors to see if there is a measurable impact on adolescent anxiety and overall wellbeing. Participants will: * Use box breathing during choral music warm-ups to connect choral breathing to breathing for anxiety reduction * Use "magnify" technique to compare cognitive distortions regarding an upcoming performance that may cause anxiety to the most likely realistic outcome * Use emotion regulation through song lyrics technique to connect lyrics of choral music repertoire to participants experienced emotions

Purpose: To investigate the effects of a psychological counseling program (PsychoCP) applied to caregivers of Alzheimer's patients on perceived stress, psychological well-being and care burden. Design: The study will be conducted in a pre-test post-test control group, randomized controlled experimental research design. Method: The study is planned to be carried out in Bağcılar Municipality Vefahâne Life Center, Antalya Alzheimer Patients and Patient Relatives Meeting Center and Osmaniye Family and Social Policies Directorate. The sample of the study will consist of 80 caregivers. They will be assigned to intervention (n=40) and control groups (n=40) by randomization. Hypotheses Hypothesis1: The perceived stress level of caregivers who received PsychoDP is lower than those who did not receive PsychoCP. Hypothesis2: The psychological well-being levels of caregivers who received PsychoDP are higher than those who did not receive PsychoCP. Hypothesis3: The care burden of caregivers who received PsychoDP is lower than those who did not receive PsychoCP.
