NCT ID: NCT04896411 Recruiting - Communication Clinical Trials

Choice of Diction's Effect

CODE
Start date: August 9, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the research is to determine how the language used when discussing preferences about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) affects decisions regarding this (code status)

NCT ID: NCT04612738 Recruiting - Communication Clinical Trials

Project Talk Trial: Engaging Underserved Communities in End-of-life Conversations

Start date: March 19, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Compared to the general population, individuals from underserved communities are more likely to receive low quality end-of-life care and unwanted, costly and burdensome treatments due in part to a lack of advance care planning (ACP; the process of discussing wishes for end-of-life care with loved ones/clinicians and documenting them in advance directives). This study will use existing, trusted, and respected social networks to evaluate two conversation-based tools intended to engage underserved individuals in discussions about end-of-life issue and motivate them to carry out ACP behaviors. Through this study, investigators will learn how best to engage underserved populations in ACP so as to: 1) increase the likelihood that patients from underserved communities will receive high-quality end-of-life care; 2) address health disparities related to end-of-life treatments; and 3) reduce unnecessary suffering for patients and their families.

NCT ID: NCT04610944 Recruiting - Alzheimer Disease Clinical Trials

Changing Talk Online Training (CHATO) National Trial

Start date: April 26, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The National Plan to Address Alzheimer's disease has identified education of dementia care providers as a top priority to address the need for quality care for the population of persons with dementia that will triple in the next 30 years. This study will test new online interactive training for nursing home staff that improves staff communication and also reduces behavioral symptoms of persons with dementia that they care for. Innovative approaches to reach care providers are essential to achieve implementation of evidence-based practices to improve care.

NCT ID: NCT04533126 Recruiting - Communication Clinical Trials

Channels of Communication & Brain Functioning: Pilot fMRI Study

COCACE
Start date: September 15, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Communication is a social process involving individuals exchanging messages. It is usual to observe different reactions according to the manner of communication, the manner in which such information is exchanged. In this work, it will be examined how different communication modalities cause different reactions in a person. We make the assumption that each communication modality is based on a different brain network.

NCT ID: NCT04488523 Recruiting - Communication Clinical Trials

Family Telehealth Project for Foster Care Youth

Start date: July 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this research is to adapt and evaluate the efficacy of an existing family based intervention to be delivered via telehealth to child welfare-involved (CWI) youth and their caregiver of origin.

NCT ID: NCT04433650 Recruiting - Communication Clinical Trials

Pictorial Support in Person-centred Care for Children (PicPecc)

PicPecc
Start date: April 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Introduction: Person-centred care is based on the assumption that every person has resources that should be used in the care situation. In order for this to happen the patient has to be able to effectively communicate his/her symptoms. This protocol describes the analysis of a digital picture-based tool for communication support for children with cancer aged 5-17 years, who undergo high-dose methotrexate treatment. The advantage of a non-linguistic based platform, beside the expected clinical outcomes, is that it can be used in multiple national studies with minimal translation. Methods and analysis: Two studies will be conducted in a hybrid design, i.e., a crossover design will be used for the intervention (effects), and a mixed-methods design will be used for the process evaluation. Qualitative interviews will be carried out with children with cancer, their legal guardians and case-related healthcare professionals as part of the process evaluation. The interviews will address the experiences of the intervention and frequency of use from the child's perspective. Interview transcripts will be analyzed qualitative descriptively. The digital communication tool will collect child self-reports of symptoms/emotions. The children will be monitored for biomarkers of stress and pain (neuropeptides, neurosteroids and peripheral steroids) in venous blood samples, in-app estimation levels for the children, drug consumption. Person-centeredness will be evaluated with the questionnaire Visual CARE Measure. Ethics: Ethical approval was obtained from the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (ref 2019-02392; 2020-02601).

NCT ID: NCT04330833 Recruiting - Communication Clinical Trials

Informational Meetings for Planning and Coordinating Treatment

IMPACT
Start date: December 8, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This prospective cluster-randomized trial examines the efficacy of a novel communication intervention delivered by trained physician and nurse dyads to parents of children with cancer within the clinicians' practice, to foster alignment of the goals of treatment. The investigators hypothesize that goal alignment will improve quality of life outcomes, in particular for those patients who reach end of life. Findings from the proposed research will provide essential information to promote communication practice standards that can be rapidly translated into practice to improve outcomes for children, particularly those who reach end of life, and parents.

NCT ID: NCT04317664 Recruiting - Communication Clinical Trials

Intervention to Improve Driving Practices Among High-Risk Teen Drivers

projectDRIVE
Start date: September 28, 2020
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to test the effects of an in-vehicle driving feedback technology, with and without parent communication training, on risky driving events, unsafe driving behaviors, and subsequent traffic violations among teens who have recently received a moving traffic violation.

NCT ID: NCT04234035 Recruiting - Emergencies Clinical Trials

Shared Decision-Making for the Promotion of Patient-Centered Imaging in the ED: Suspected Kidney Stones

ED-KSS
Start date: December 11, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Although a CT scan is required for some Emergency Department patients with signs and symptoms of a kidney stone, recent evidence has shown that routine scanning is unnecessary and may expose young patients to significant cumulative radiation, increasing their risk of future cancers. Shared Decision-Making may facilitate diagnostic imaging decisions that are more inline with patients' values and preferences. By comparing a shared approach to diagnostic decision-making to a traditional, physician-directed approach, this study lays the foundation for a future randomized trial that will reduce radiation exposure, improve engagement, and improve the quality and patient-centeredness of Emergency Department care.
