A randomized 2-group controlled trial will be conducted to explore the potential effect and potential feasibility of a new Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tele-counselling program to improve mental health services for family caregivers of persons with dementia in the province of New Brunswick in Canada. The ACT tele-counselling program was launched in January 2021 with the aim of improving access to high quality psychotherapy for family caregivers, particularly in rural areas. A target sample size of 80 participants will be recruited and randomly allocated to either the ACT program or to usual care services. Mixed methods (QUANTITATIVE + qualitative) will be used to evaluate the potential impact of the ACT program compared to usual care on participant's mental health, and to generate recommendations for the expansion and continuation of the program outside of the province.
This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effects of e-mobile education and counselling service on self-care agency, body image, and quality of life in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The sample of the study was determined using power analysis after making preliminary tests with the patients who met the sample selection criteria in Isparta City Hospital Obesity Center, and consisted of 51 (26 experiment, 25 control) patients. The patients in the experimental group received e-mobile training and consultancy services with the mobile application developed specifically for bariatric surgery that started before the operation and lasted for 3 months. The data of the study were collected using the Personal Information Form, Self-Care Agency, Body Image, and Moorehead Ardelt Quality of Life II (MA-II) Scales prepared in accordance with the literature. In addition to descriptive statistics, Chi-Square, Independent Samples t-test, Repeated Measures, Mann-Whitney U and Friedman tests were used to evaluate the data. A statistically significant difference was found in the mean scores of Self-Care Strength, Body Image, MA-II and BMI of the patients in the experimental and control groups according to the processes (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of preoperative, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd month Self-Care Power, Body Image and MA-II scale mean scores (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in favour of the experimental group in terms of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd month BMI averages (p<0.05).
