Filter by:The current available pharmacological treatment formulations (i.e., daily formulations of buprenorphine or methadone) for OUD in France may have several inconveniences, such as: compliance, burden of daily intake, and risk of misuse; that may hinder their effectiveness. Long acting formulations of buprenorphine (LAB) such as Buvidal have been developed to favor retention and compliance and minimize the risk of diversion. Previous studies are promising on the advantage of LAB to treat opioid addiction, however more evidence is needed in the French healthcare context. However, in addition to randomized clinical trials, the French National Healthcare Agency (HAS "Haute Autorité de Santé") recommends conducting "real-life" studies (i.e., in naturalistic conditions) during the development of a medication and the use of "Patient Reported Outcome Measures" (PROMs) to analyze patient quality of life and/or other measures relevant to patients (e.g., severity, efficiency), without interpretation of the answers by a health professional. In this regard, our study proposes to use the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) self-report questions and several scales on treatment satisfaction and quality of life to collect the patient's opinion of perceived changes following the use of Buvidal. Main objectives: The objectives of this prospective open observational study, in naturalistic conditions, are to examine in individuals with an opioid use disorder, over a period of 6 months after LAB treatment initiation: the change in substance addiction severity and the changes in health-related quality of life, craving, opioids and other substance and non-substance uses and misuses, alcohol, tobacco and non-substance addiction severity, satisfaction with LAB treatment, severity of others domains related to addiction severity (i.e., medical, social, psychological) and psychiatric comorbidities Main hypotheses: 1. Hypothesize was that LAB will be associated with a stable (if prior remission) or a reduction of the CS of "Drug use" (i.e., substance addiction severity) at 6 months compared to baseline. 2. Hypothesize was that LAB will be associated with a stable (if prior remission) or a reduction of opioids and other substance and non-substance uses and misuses, other substances and non-substances addiction severity, craving, severity of others domains related to addiction (i.e., medical status, employment and support, family/social status, psychological status), an improvement of quality of life and a good satisfaction with treatment at follow-ups compared to baseline.
Background: Frailty is a complex multi-dimensional state of increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes and is usually associated with older age but there is growing evidence of accelerated ageing and frailty in non-geriatric populations, including those experiencing socio-economic deprivation and extreme social exclusion, such as people experiencing homelessness. Addiction, as a coping mechanism for prior trauma, is common among people who are homeless and can have a gendered dimension. Women experiencing homelessness and addiction have unique needs which require a gendered approach. The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of an exercise intervention to target the known physical functioning deficits and frailty which this population experiences. Methods: This mixed-methods study will explore physical functioning deficits and frailty in women experiencing homelessness and addiction, using a bespoke test battery and an exercise intervention. Physical function (10m Walk Test, 2 Minute Walk Test, Single Leg Stance Test, Chair Stand Test, hand grip dynamometry), frailty (Clinical Frailty Scale and the SHARE-FI) and nutritional status (Mini-Nutritional Status), pain (Numerical Pain Rating Scale) and quality of life (SF 12-V2) will be evaluated. The intervention will involve a 3-times weekly exercise programme with protein supplementation for 10 weeks. Following this, qualitative interviews, which will be thematically analysed using Braun & Clarke methodology, will be conducted. This study will be conducted in Dublin from February to July 2024. Discussion: Little is kn own about frailty-focussed interventions in women experiencing homelessness and addiction. This proposed study will help to increase the knowledge base regarding the physical health burden and frailty experienced by this extremely vulnerable population and will deliver a targeted intervention with a gendered dimension to mitigate its affects. The findings of this research will help narrow this research gap and will guide clinicians and policy makers to implement unique gender-based treatment strategies for this population.

With the widespread use of technology and internet, digital game addiction and cyberbullying behaviors have increased among adolescents. Effective interventions are needed to prevent these behaviors. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of health education supported by motivational interviewing on digital game addiction and cyberbullying behaviors in adolescents. The research will be conducted with a randomized controlled trial design. The intervention group will receive six sessions of motivational interviewing-supported health education. Within the scope of the intervention, the first two sessions will be health education and the last four sessions will be motivational interviewing. It is planned that each session will be 35 minutes and the sessions will be implemented one week apart.
The study focuses on fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by chronic pain, fatigue, and associated issues like sleep disorders, depression, and anxiety. The investigators' goal is to detect smart phone addiction among fibromyalgia patients and assess potential improvements in their quality of life and smart phone addiction after receiving fibromyalgia education. Participants will report their recent exercise, social activities, sleep quality, and screen time for the past week. They will also complete the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) to measure pain and physical function and the Smart Phone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV) to assess smart phone use. Diaries will track daily exercise, socialization, sleep, and screen time for 20 days. The intervention group will receive fibromyalgia education, covering an overview of fibromyalgia, coping strategies, and discussions on the impact of digital addictions. This education, delivered via a brief Microsoft PowerPoint program presentation by a physician, aims to help patients. After 20 days, all participants will redo the FIQR and SAS-SV assessments, and diary data will be collected. This study examines how physician-provided fibromyalgia education affects pain levels, quality of life, smart phone addiction, socialization, exercise, sleep, and screen time based on patient diaries. The results will deepen our understanding of how brief education can enhance the lives of fibromyalgia patients and aid in developing more effective strategies to manage pain and improve their quality of life.

The study will be conducted with the randomized controlled experimental method. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of digital game addiction awareness training given to parents of 6th-grade secondary school students on their parents' awareness levels of digital game addiction. Parents will be randomly assigned to groups by lottery method. After the randomization parents of students in the intervention group will be given 'Digital Game Addiction Awareness Training'. The digital game addiction awareness level of all parents will be determined with the 'Digital Game Addiction Awareness Scale' before and 3 months after the training. Parents in the control group will not be educated. The digital game addiction awareness level of the parents in the control group will be determined with the 'Digital Game Addiction Awareness Scale' when they are included in the research and 3 months later.
