Filter by:Tineapedis is an important health problem. Providing foot care in tinea pedis treatment contributes positively to the treatment. In addition, alternative treatments can also be used. In this study, the randomization study group will be divided into three. Medical treatment and foot care training will be applied to the first group, medical treatment and propolis to the second group, medical treatment and plassebo to the control group. Foot care training will be given by nurse coaching. Times of all three groups and their response to treatment will be evaluated.
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a video-assisted discharge education program on activities of daily living, functionality, and patient satisfaction after total hip replacement (THR) surgery. Methods: This study included 31 participants who were randomly divided in the physiotherapy (PT) group (n=18), and the video-assisted discharge education (VADE) group (n=13). Both groups received a physiotherapy program. VADE group was additionally received VADE program. In both groups, all education programs were given face to face. Data were collecting using visual analog scale (VAS), Harris Hip Score (HHS), Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living Scale (NEADL), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) and Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire at 1st week and 3rd month. Practice Implications: The current study has contributed to the development of video-assisted health technologies.
Obesity is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. The treatment of obesity and its related health issues, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes, exceeds $150 billion annually. "Morbidly" or "severely" obese patients - defined by a body mass index [BMI] of >35 kg/m2 or greater - are especially high risk for serious complications due to their weight. Within the Veterans Health Administration (VA) system, nearly 600,000 patients are severely obese. These Veterans create significant costs for the VA system, experience poorer quality of life, and have shortened lifespans. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity for weight loss, resolving weight-related health issues, and quality of life. Bariatric surgery is supported as a treatment option by many national societies, including those representing primary care and endocrinology. However, less than 1% of Veterans who qualify for bariatric surgery undergo it. Reasons for low utilization are unclear, although the investigators' preliminary research suggests that there are various patient, provider and system level barriers to severe obesity care. The goal of this study is to pilot-test an educational video that aligns patient preferences with treatment options to improve the care that severely obese Veterans receive.
The study evaluated the comparison of the different patient education methods. The study involved two stages of data collection: one during the preoperative period, the other during the sixth postoperative week.
This pilot study uses a randomized controlled trial design to introduce an educational session for breast reconstruction patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to the (1) control group or the (2) experimental group. The control group will receive the current standard educational information from the surgeon along with an information package, while participants in the experimental group will also receive an additional education session before their operation about what to expect during their reconstructive journey. Satisfaction with care, anxiety about the procedure and recovery, and health related quality of life will be measured in all patients using established questionnaires. Additionally, feasibility outcomes will be reported and the results of this study will be used to demonstrate whether a larger version of this study can be successfully completed.
This study evaluates whether rapid sequence animation videos (RSAV) are of use as an additional learning resource for the elective pre-operative patient. The investigators aimed to do this by comparing the change in knowledge and anxiety in two groups; Half of the patients were allocated to the normal patient pathway and the other half received the educational video as an additional preoperative learning resource.
A multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial will be conducted to test the effectiveness of a home-based video intervention on improving kidney transplant candidate's knowledge, self-efficacy, quality of life, beliefs in medications, and education satisfaction as compared to usual care.
In this randomized controlled study in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) the investigators plan to compare the effects of a structured patient group education (IBS School) with structured education provided via the internet. The effects of the interventions on GI and psychological symptom severity, knowledge and quality of life will be assessed with validated questionnaires at baseline, immediately after the intervention and 3 and 6 months after the intervention.
The overall purpose of this study is to develop and test a web-based decision aid (DA) to support patients with Hepatitis C and Chronic Kidney Disease during decisions about whether, when, and how to treat each illness. Patients will have the opportunity to learn about their hepatitis C and kidney disease, initiate thought about what matters most to them and choose a treatment plan for their liver and kidney disease that works best for them. Investigators will evaluate the tool's efficacy, usability, and the likelihood of using it in clinical practice. There are three (3) primary aims of this project: (1) to develop the DA; (2) to pilot-test the DA to determine efficacy, usability and likelihood of using it in routine practice; (3) to explore stakeholders feedback on the usefulness of the DA and likelihood of implementing the tool.
The researchers hypothesize that patients and their families will be comfortable watching standardized CPR informational videos and that they would recommend that others watch the videos. Furthermore, the researchers hypothesize that patients and their families will find the videos helpful in their own end-of-life planning.
