The American Diabetes Association indicates that diabetes self-management is a skill that diabetic patients must learn in the Diabetes Self-Management Education; thus, this contributes to shared care for diabetes, in which teams of physicians, professional nurses, and dietitians offer shared care to patients. However, according to the statistical analysis of the conditions of glycemic control in diabetic patients in 28 countries across 4 continents (Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America), the mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of the 12,727 patients was 9.5% by Litwak et al. in 2013. In Taiwan, a national survey among diabetic patients in a shared-care program found that the percentage of patients with HbA1c lower than 7% increased by 6.5% from 2006 to 2011; yet, among the 720 patients who completed both surveys in 2006 and 2011, the percentage with HbA1c lower than 7% decreased by 2.1% during that period. These results suggest that despite the increase in the proportion of patients who successfully managed their diabetes, some patients still encountered difficulty in glycemic control.Therefore, numerous health education tools on diabetes continue to be developed. In 2011,JoAnn et al. determined that the mode of health care had a substantial influence on the dietary habits of diabetic patients, and that individual health education had the largest effect on diabetes control. In addition, using the conversation map for diabetes control also had a substantial influence on improving health behaviors. Among existing studies that have adopted the conversation map, no large-scale research has been conducted, the research samples and relevant studies in Taiwan have been scant, and no theoretical foundation has been applied in evaluating the effects of the conversation map. Accordingly, the investigators aimed to enhance the mutual experience exchange and learning among diabetic patients through adopting the conversation map to observe its influence on their health behaviors by incorporating it into existing health education modalities. Furthermore, on the basis of the Health Belief Model, a relevant questionnaire was designed for assessing the effectiveness of glycemic control in diabetic patients.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether an intervention based on the social and emotional competence development improves the healthy lifestyles adoption in young children.
The purpose of the A-CLASS project was to measure the effect of the 4 hour offer on children's physical activity, health and physical competence.
This study is a randomized controlled trial that will assess the effects of (1) the Family-Supportive Supervisor Behavior (FSSB) and Sleep Leadership training and (2) sleep/cognitive effectiveness feedback intervention on health and well-being among full-time employees in the Oregon National Guard, their supervisors, and their families. The interventions involving both health protection and health promotion are expected to contribute to improvements in employees' and their supervisors' sleep, risk behaviors, mental and physical health, and injury, as well as employees' and their spouse/partners' family experiences, health and well-being, and workplace outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to modify the food culture of the fire service by motivating firefighters and their families to incorporate Mediterranean diet principles at work and home through behavior change strategies that involve education, participation and incentives. The ultimate purpose is to lower firefighters' risks for CVD and cancer by successfully getting more firefighters and their families to adopt and incorporate the healthy eating principles behind the Mediterranean diet.
Infections are the main causes of morbidity and mortality in very low birth weight infants. Use of mother's own breast milk in feeding these babies is associated with a decreased risk of acquiring nosocomial infection. This protective effect is assigned to a plurality of immune components in human milk. However, clinical instability of the preterm newborn in the first days of life results in delayed initiation of enteral nutrition. Thus, alternative methods for colostrum administration have been investigated, such as oropharyngeal administration with evidence that would be safe and feasible to perform in children admitted to the NICU in the first hours of life. Objective: To evaluate the immune stimulatory effect of oropharyngeal administration of colostrum in the incidence of sepsis in very low birth weight preterm infants.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an innovative methodology for training Community Health Workers that will improve their effectiveness in educating mothers to adopt best practice health behaviors in the home.
This is a minimal risk, anonymous, convenience sample, social behavioral study using qualitative descriptive survey methods. It is to ascertain community member, physician, resident and medical student perspectives regarding Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, associated diseases and to identify barriers which prevent these groups from ensuring that males 9-26 receive the three-shot vaccine series to prevent HPV infection. The research is focused on these questions: Do community members understand the ease of transmission of the HPV virus in males 9-26? Do community members, physicians, residents and medical students have knowledge of the associated diseases that may occur with the HPV virus infection in males age 9-26? Do community members, physicians, residents and medical students know the ages in which males should receive the HPV vaccine three-shot series? What barriers prevent community members and physicians, residents and medical students from ensuring that males 9-26 receive the three-shot vaccine series to prevent HPV infection?
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a group-based mental health intervention called Sauti ya Vijana (The Voice of Youth) designed to address mental health challenges faced by adolescents in Tanzania is acceptable and feasible and if it improves mental health, antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, and virologic outcomes among HIV-positive adolescents as compared to youth receiving treatment as usual. Mental health intervention sessions will take place three times a month for approximately four months in groups of eight to ten youth based on age and sex. Caregivers will attend two sessions to support the youth and provide the guardian perspective on caring for HIV-positive adolescents. The investigator hypothesizes the mental health intervention will be acceptable, feasible, and will improve mental health and ART adherence among participating youth and this improvement will be sustained over time.
