Filter by:Based on findings from our prior trials with parents of children with learning and attentional disabilities and parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (Kuhlthau et al., 2020; Park et al., 2020; IRB approved: #:2016P001622 and 2016P002037 respectively), the investigators propose to pilot test and refine the adapted resiliency intervention (SMART-3RP) among fathers of children with special health care needs.
The purposes of this study are to develop an upgraded version of the smart-clothes home care model that include an interactive family caregiver App, and to examine its effect on a randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Community Reinforcement and Family Training for Early Psychosis (CRAFT-EP) for families experiencing early psychosis and substance use delivered exclusively or primarily via telehealth (video conferencing).
Today, 40% of cancers are linked to modifiable risk factors and could thus be preventable. Primary prevention, which allows individuals to be informed and aware of health recommendations and possible actions before the onset of a cancer, is thus a major public health issue. Around 11 million of French citizens are informal caregivers, i.e. people who regularly and frequently provide a non-professional help to do all or part of daily life activities for a dependent person with a disability, disease, or due to age. In cancer, there are around 5 million of informal caregivers in France. Studies have shown that informal caregivers of cancer patients are not only at risk for stress, anxiety, poor health, diminished quality of life, but also that they adopt so-called "risk behaviours" (e.g., increased smoking or alcohol consumption, unbalanced eating habits rich in fat, sugar and ultra-processed foods, sedentary lifestyle, etc.). These behaviours may develop or worsen co-morbidities and/or promote cancer development, outside hereditary context. Moreover, for certain types of cancer, related and unrelated family caregivers have a higher risk of developing cancer because they share the same lifestyle including the same risk factors. However, compared to general population, informal caregivers of cancer patients, have an increased risk perception and motivation to change a so-called unhealthy lifestyle. In this context, our goal is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a personalised primary prevention intervention designed to informal caregivers of cancer patients at increased risk of cancer. The intervention will be first designed to first-degree relatives and partners/spouses of a patient treated at Léon Bérard Center. Developed in the Léon Bérard comprehensive cancer centre in close relation with outpatient care and based on an informal caregiver's tracking questionnaire, the intervention will be composed of two consultations with a physician trained in primary prevention and information and referral to health prevention structures. As primary objectives, acceptability will be assessed based on informal caregivers' satisfaction and feasibility based on their participation rates. As secondary objectives, informal caregivers' knowledge and risk perception will be assessed based on questionnaires and intention to change or change behaviour will be noted and analysed through individual semi-structured interviews.
Randomized clinical trial that aims to evaluate the impact of the use of a diary in patients and relatives of patients admitted to an ICU in relation to usual practice in terms of health-related quality of life, the post-traumatic stress and anxiety/depression at 2, 6 and 12 months after ICU discharge.
Today mother and infant are routinely separated directly after birth if there is a need of specialised treatment and care, despite of the significant and positive effects of skin-to-skin contact. Thus, there is a need of change in organizing the treatment and care in a way that minimizes separation. The aim is to evaluate the implementation and effect of a complex family-centred intervention based 107 on zero separation and couplet care. The intervention is rooted in the philosophy of family-centred care. Essentially, mother infant dyads will be admitted together, where they will receive couplet care by neonatal nurses. The study comprises a quasi-experimental trial and a qualitative process evaluation including a field study and two interview studies. Finally, a health economic evaluation will be conducted to assess the cost-effectiveness of this complex intervention. The intervention will take place at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Hvidovre Hospital. The nurses will as a part of the intervention be educated to take care of both mother and infant and carry out the intervention. Five families with experiences from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the Maternity Unit participates as patient and public representative in the project, as their experiences and ideas will provide an added value to the project. This study contribute with a new perspective on how to organize the treatment and care of a newborn family in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The study will be the first to examine zero separation and couplet care within sick mother-infant dyads. The study will provide knowledge about how an intervention consisting of zero separation and couplet care can be feasible and acceptable, and what kind of effect and impact it will provide. It is expected that the study as a whole may impact and profile clinical nursing, as well as benefitting public health.
The purpose of this randomized controlled pilot trial is to develop and test mobile app, Intensive Care Unit-Caregiver Activation Response, and Engagement (ICU-CARE). ICU-CARE provides a simulated learning environment to encourage family caregivers of mechanically ventilated patients to assess two patient symptoms, thirst and anxiety, and perform specific nonpharmacologic comfort measures to help alleviate patient symptom burden.
Neglect and abuse, which have a devastating effect on children, can be prevented with community-based education programs aimed at strengthening families. The study aimed to validate and determine reliability of the "Parents Assessment of Protective Factors (PAPF) survey" and to develop a culturally appropriate program and educational design for strengthening families.
This study is a type-1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation RCT comparing a novel family-inclusive childhood obesity treatment program, the "Healthy Living Program" (HeLP), to a protocol that enhances usual primary care to deliver Recommended Treatment of Obesity in Primary Care (RTOP). Children with obesity and their families will be referred to the study by primary care providers and randomized to HeLP or RTOP. The clinical setting is a practice-based research network serving majority Hispanic and Medicaid-insured populations. The intensive phase and booster sessions of HeLP will take place at recreation centers located near the clinics and will be led by health educators employed by the clinics. Visits with primary care providers (PCPs) for HeLP maintenance or RTOP will occur at the clinics.
Prior to this pilot study, it is unclear whether comparing a manualized version of the Family Partner Model to standard practice in the Child Welfare Services would be feasible. Results will inform whether and how to design a fully powered randomized controlled trial to test the effects of a manualized version of the Family Partner Model on child maltreatment. The specific results of the pilot study will inform 1) randomization procedures, 2) data sources to be used, 3) sample size calculations, and 4) adaptations to the design and measures for a fully powered randomized controlled trial.
