There are about 21071 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Spain. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a wise intervention based on self-affirmation (SA) and Implicit Theories of Personality (ITP) building resilience in victims. Half of the participants will receive the experimental intervention, while the other half will receive a control intervention.
Chronic pain is one of the pathological processes with the greatest impact on the demand of health services. The cost of this process in Spain according to the results is 2.5% of Gross Domestic Product (Breivik, Collett, Ventafridda et al. 2006).Mainly affects women and in it psychological, behavioral and psychological factors converge (Cöster, Kendall, Gerdle et al. 2008). The role of gender as a social determinant of health is known (Stansfeld, 2006). Multidisciplinary and not only pharmacological intervention stands as a desirable paradigm for addressing this type of health problem, and it is considered necessary to standardize treatment in this regard. Thus, psychological constructs such as the concept of "catastrophization" have demonstrated the relationship between suffering and the displacing experience (Wade, Riddle, Price, Dumenci, 2011) and the psychological framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy has also revealed its positive effect. . The rise of new technologies makes it necessary to give added value to the use of digital mobile devices for its potential contribution to the health care of the population, given its immediacy, widespread use, possibility of interaction and increase of the margin of accessibility to health services. The present project aims to demonstrate that multidisciplinary and combined intervention of pharmacological therapies with specific psychological therapies along with the use of mobile digital devices can improve the management and evolution of chronic pain.
Researchers in this study want to learn more about the safety of the drug runcaciguat and how well it works when given at the highest dose as tolerated by the individual patient whose kidneys are not working properly and suffering at the same time from high blood sugar and/or high blood pressure and a disease of the heart and the blood vessels. Runcaciguat is a new drug under development for the improvement of kidney function. It works by activating proteins that helps to dilate blood vessels, including vessels in the kidneys. This can improve blood flow in kidney and may slow down the progression of kidney disease. This dilative effect can also influence the heart rate and blood pressure. Researchers also wants to find the best dose of the drug during the study. Participants in this study will receive either runcaciguat or placebo tablets every morning for 8 weeks. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have any active medicine in it. On a weekly basis, the dose of the runcaciguat will be increased step by step. In total, participants will visit the doctors about 10 times, and the observation will last for about 16 weeks. Blood and urine samples will collected from the participants.
The intervention will be a physical exercise program for colorectal cancer patients during the adjuvant chemotherapy. The exercise program aims on reducing the side effects of the treatment and improving patients' quality of life. In addition, the investigators try to improve endurance and resistance training level, in order to achieve greater physical functionality, survival and general well-being. For this, the investigators will carry out an exercise program based mainly on muscular strength and cardiorespiratory condition. It will last 6 months, with a frequency of 3 days per week, including sessions of 60 minutes. Sessions will consist of three parts: warm-up, main part (endurance and resistance training), and cool down. An individualized and supervised progression of training will take place. The intensity levels will always be adjusted to the initial levels of the participants, always considering their preferences and comfort. Participants' preferences and exercise history will be considered through an initial interview. Motivational strategies based on self-determination theory will be applied, since it is one of the most used theories in the field of physical exercise. This theory proposes that all people need to feel competent, autonomous and socially related. If these three needs are satisfied, participants will develop more positive (autonomous) forms of motivation, which are related to better consequences such as vitality, enjoyment, quality of life and adherence to physical activity. In addition, motivational strategies will be applied for families and healthcare professionals. Before starting the program and at the end of it, each eligible patient will be evaluated through: - Physical activity: strength test of lower and upper limbs, agility test, stress test for cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity levels, physical condition and body composition. - Psychological factors: autonomy support, basic psychological need satisfaction, motivation, quality of life, perceived barriers, depression, anxiety, hope, quality of life. - Clinical parameters: survival rate, side effects, biological factors, treatment delays and planned treatment completion.
Single-blind, double-blind, controlled, randomized clinical trial of two parallel branches depending on the product consumed (experimental product and placebo product) and single-center with the objective of evaluating the effect of the investigational product on cardiovascular risk reduction.
Background. The current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has a great impact worldwide. Healthcare workers play an essential role and are one of the most exposed groups.Information about the psychosocial impact on healthcare workers is limited. Methods. 3109 healthcare workers completed a national, internet-based, cross-sectional 45-item survey between 9 and 19 April 2020. The objective is to assess the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spanish healthcare workers. A Psychological Stress and Adaptation at work Score (PSAS) was defined combining four modified versions of validated psychological assessment tests (A) Healthcare Stressful Test, (B) Coping Strategies Inventory,(C) Font-Roja Questionnaire and (D) Trait Meta-Mood Scale.
HYPOTHESIS: During anesthetic pre-oxygenation with high FiO2, pulmonary atelectasis occur, especially in patients < 6 years old, where FRC and pulmonary closing volume may overlap. New borns and children <1 year old are especially vulnerable. OBJECTIVES: 1. Validate "air test" as a individualized and non-invasive diagnostic method of clinically significant atelectasis in pediatrics. 2. Determine what other factors contribute to atelectasis development in pediatrics METHODS: 30 pediatric patients will be studied with ages ranged between 45 postconceptional weeks and16 years old. Baseline SpO2 and lung ultrasound will be performed for each patient upon arrival at the operating theatre before preoxygenation with FiO2 of 1.0 SpO2 will be measured 15 min after intubation during a 5 min long "air test" trial (FiO2 0.25). lung collapse will be verified by lung ultrasound at the end of the 15 min trial. Lung collapse will be eventually granted upon lung US verification by a blind researcher.
The 11th March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus Covid-19 as a pandemic. Urgent reorganization was required to give answers to the needs of this new illness. Since mid March, the number of patients admitted every day grew exponentially, and despite strengthening the Home Hospitalization service, resources were insufficient to care for such a number of people at home. The HH was called to transform a hotel into a medicalized healthcare space. Current health policy emphasizes on patient experience, as one of the key components of quality of care. Analyzing patients experience will provide knowledge about their authentic concerns or what they identify as real needs, how they perceive the care received and will allow finding out if it was a good alternative. Patients must be involved in decision-making about their heath situation and treatment in order to provide an integrated healthcare. Aims: To assess the patient experience during hospital admission in a Medicalized Hotel for COVID-19, from 8th March to 25th May, and variables that may influence these experiences. Study type: Observational and descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of patients admitted in Medicalized Hotel who met inclusion criteria. Sample size: 517 patients. Main variable: Patient experience (collected by the Picker Patient Experience questionnaire, PPE-15, translated to Catalan and Spanish), that content four open questions analyzed in a qualitative way. Other variables: Socio-demographic and review clinical records.
