Filter by:A diagnosis of chronic disease in childhood may be disruptive for families. Some parents show good adjustment, while others may have more difficulties. Aim of this study is to develop and validate a new psychometric instrument to help precociously detect parents' vulnerability in the process of adjustment to their child's chronic disease at different times of care.
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been widely applied during perioperative periods for different diseases, there are few reports of ERAS in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). This study therefore aimed to evaluate the benefits of ERAS protocol compared to traditional care following ESS.
This is a Phase II, Randomized, Blinded, Sham Procedure-Controlled, Parallel-Group Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of LYR-210 in Adult Subjects with Chronic Sinusitis.
This study evaluates the use of group Compassion Focussed Therapy in a population with various and/or multiple long term health conditions. A multiple baseline, single case experimental design will be used with a view to evaluate changes in psychological adjustment and compassion. Daily data and weekly questionnaire batteries will be collected across a baseline period and ten weeks of group intervention. Participants will be those already referred to the group by a clinician as part of their routine care.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a general health promotion (GHP) approach to motivate smokers with chronic diseases to quit smoking. Subjects in the intervention group will receive a brief Motivational Interviewing (MI) using a GHP approach. Subjects in the control group will receive a self-help booklet on smoking cessation at the time of recruitment.
There is strong evidence that specific types of exercise can improve health and physical function in older adults. While community exercise classes exist, many older adults with chronic conditions may need guidance from credentialed exercise professionals to ensure sufficient dose and progression and to address fears or low exercise self-efficacy. Furthermore, low protein intake among older adults is common and initiating exercise when nutrition is inadequate may cause weight loss and limit gains in muscle strength. The primary goal is to determine the feasibility of implementing the MoveSTroNg program under real-world conditions, measured through referral and recruitment to the program and study retention and adherence rates.
The general objective of this project is to collect information on dietary intake and nutritional status of women and young children in Haiti, to inform the design and management of national and subnational micronutrient intervention programs, with a focus on large-scale food fortification, and to serve as a reference point for program evaluation.
This study tests an intervention designed to avoid 30-day readmissions following a medical hospitalization by patients who have co-occurring mental illness. The Intervention is delivered by community health workers in the inpatient setting and 30 days following hospital discharge to the community.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common smoking-related lung disease. Patients with COPD are at increased risk of readmission to hospitals within the following 30 days. Hospital readmissions of COPD contribute to clinical and economic burden on society. Understanding why some COPD patients are readmitted remains a key area of unmet need. To our knowledge, no previous study has fully investigated both the social and clinical risk factors associated with these types of patients. The investigators want to prospectively and comprehensively explore the possible causes, whether clinical or social factors, that cause rehospitalisation. The investigators will be collecting demographic and clinical information including daily physical activity level, lung function, blood and sputum samples. These measurements will be collected at patient admission, discharge and at follow-up of 30 and 90 days. This process could lead to a better understanding of the reasons which prevent early hospital readmission for those patients.
This was a pilot evaluation conducted to test procedures for a possible future trial and provide preliminary insights regarding whether text messages sent to Veterans could help support nutrition and/or physical activity health goals. For the purposes of the pilot, the goal was to enroll one participant.
