Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Specifically, there are four research aims of the study;
1. To investigate the effects of regular weekly treatment in the Celestial Floatation Pool on mood outcomes including positive and negative affect, anxiety, depression, and stress.
2. To investigate the effects of regular weekly treatment in the Dead Sea Salt Therapy pool on mood outcomes including positive and negative affect, anxiety, depression, and stress.
3. To investigate the effects of a single 40-minute treatment in the Celestial Floatation Pool and the Dead Sea Salt Therapy pool on mood outcomes including positive and negative affect, anxiety and stress.
4. Do any beneficial effects of spa treatment persist beyond cessation of treatment?
Outcome measures will be used to assess mood and psychological health outcomes both at the beginning (baseline) and at the end (8 weeks) of each treatment (see procedures). In addition, outcome measures will be taken immediately after the first spa treatment to assess acute effects. Specifically, the outcome measures are:
* Positive and Negative Affect using the PANAS-X. This will be a well-established measure of how positive and negative an individual is feeling (these are two separate outcome measures).
* Subjective mood with the Immediate Mood Scaler. This is a recently published novel 22-item measure developed to assess dynamic components of mood. Participants rate their current mood state on a continuum using 7-point Likert scales (eg, happy-sad, distracted-focused, sleepy-alert, fearful-fearless. For each item, an integer score between 1 and 7 is derived. The total score for this scale is the sum of the scores on all 22 items.
* Stress using the Perceived Stress Scale.
* Anxiety with the GAD-7 and the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory.
* Depression with the PHQ-8
* Sleep quality with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
* Experience of spa use will be captured using qualitative and quantitative questions on their enjoyment of the spa intervention and ease of use.
