Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy. GDM, which is in the high-risk pregnancy category, causes fatigue during pregnancy due to both hormonal changes and pregnancy complications (1). Fatigue is a general complaint that occurs in almost all physical and mental diseases. Fatigue also negatively affects an individual's well-being, daily performance, activities of daily living (ADLs) and relationships. Fatigue is one of the symptoms that, if not controlled, negatively affects the individual's daily living activities and quality of life (2). While breathing itself is a way of relaxation, it is also a part of all relaxation exercises and is an exercise that can be used in daily life. Breathing correctly and deeply is the first step in learning to relax. (3). It is important to identify fatigue, minimize it, plan daily living activities and improve quality of life in patients with GDM. This study will be conducted as a randomized controlled study to determine the fatigue and quality of life of diaphragmatic breathing exercises, one of the non-pharmacological methods, on pregnant women with gestational diabetes.
The goal of this quasi-experimental study is to evaluate the effect of listening to the Qur'an recital on quality of life among systemic lupus erythematosus patients. There will be intervention and control groups. Before the intervention, the quality of life of participants will be assessed using the Lupus-QoL questionnaire. After the baseline assessment, participants in the intervention group will be asked to listen to a Qur'an recital by Surah Ar-Rahman using an MP3 player twice a day for a minimum of 15 minutes each for 40 days. The control group will not receive any specific intervention and will continue with their usual routine. After the 40-day intervention period, the quality of life of participants in both groups will be assessed using the Lupus-QoL questionnaire. The results will be analyzed to determine if there is a significant improvement in quality of life. Besides, potential confounding factors such as SLE clinical manifestations, disease activity, pharmacologic treatment regimen, anxiety/depression, comorbidities, age, and economic status will also be collected before and after intervention to evaluate its effect on the quality of life.
Burn rehabilitation management is dependent on the patients themselves, non-treatment adherence may delay the optimal timing of burn rehabilitation and it may not be regained easily. The inevitable sequelae of increasing joint stiffness and tethered soft-tissue glide become more devastating over time. It has a major impact on clinical outcomes such as scarring, deformity and dysfunction, which result in lower quality of life compared to general population There is a growing body of research on patient-centered interventions including the concept of self-management. Such phenomenon is consistent with burn patients' needs at aftercare. The proposed smartphone self-management program is to change the paradigm from paternalistic to collaborative relationship. Self-management is to build up patient equipping ability in problem solving, decision making, and appropriate use of resources and has led to improved patient engagement, adherence, and better quality of care. The investigators hypothesize that, upon intervention completion and compared with the control group, burn patients in the intervention group will report: 1. Higher level of health-related quality of life, 2. Higher level of self-efficacy 3. Higher level of score in Burn Rehabilitation Knowledge 4. Lower pain level, as measured by Numeric Pain Rating Scale; and 5. Lower level of itchiness The desired smart phone assisted self-management intervention will be carried out by principal investigator to selected adult burn patients before discharge and post discharge period. Before discharge, ward nurses will provide discharge pamphlet and individual face to face education to both groups as usual care. After discharge, instant messaging supportive enquiry service will be provided to both groups via smartphone apps. For intervention group, principal investigator will assess subject health care needs prior to intervention. Two extra sessions, 20 minutes, face to face, individual self-management education with aid of computer, track log sheet will be provided to intervention group. Concept of motivational interviewing will be incorporated as complement teaching strategy to facilitate self-management learning. Principal investigator will be responsible to deliver burn self-management education upon discharge. Intervention group will receive "Rehabilitation Booklet for Burn Patients" upon discharge. After discharge, only intervention group subject receives two sessions, 10 minutes, telephone follow up calls and five personalized chat-based messaging follow up will be provided. Besides that, self-management education information will be delivered to intervention group via instant messaging service as well. Ad-hoc instant messaging support will be provided to both groups if required.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a pilot peer support intervention, entitled "Kanasina Gulabi" (Translation "My Dream Rose" in Kannada), designed to improve quality of life and diabetes management among young adults living with type 2 diabetes. The intervention, delivered by non-specialist providers - trained young adult peer navigators who are also managing type 2 diabetes - is expected to improve physical and mental health outcomes among participants. The sample includes young adults aged 18-40 with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in Mysore district, South India. Participants were quasi-randomly allocated to the intervention or control group. With the support of their peer navigators, intervention participants will develop action plans to improve their physical and mental health outcomes. This study plans to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the intervention.
The main aim of the study is to assess the situation and quality of life of desmoid patients. Impaired areas of quality of life and the associated factors are to be identified. The survey is planned as a cross-sectional study (patient survey). Prevalent and incident desmoid patients will be identified at the University Hospital Mannheim and checked for eligibility. Quality of life and patient-reported data are collected by means of written questionnaires. Medical data is collected from patient files in the clinics. The aim is to include 100 patients. Descriptive analyses of the variables collected and regression models are planned as statistical analysis.
There is a lack of data on patients self-reported outcomes (PROMs) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL)and symptoms on anxiety and depression 10 years after Surgical After Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR), and patient reported experiences with the health services (PREMS). In this 10-years follow-up study on patients alive from the study named "The Impact of 24/ 7-phone Support on Readmission After Aortic Valve Replacement, a Randomized Clinical Trial (AVRre)" NCT02522663 we will repeat the survey on symtoms on anxiety and depresion using Hospital Anxiety and depression Scale (HADS), health-related quality of life (EQ-5D) and questions about experiences with the health services.
This retrospective study aims to compare the surgical and pregnancy outcomes of disc and segmental resection for rectal DIE through a single-center retrospective analysis, to summarize clinical experience, and to explore the possible factor of the differences. The results would provide preliminary clinical basis for the treatment and selection of surgical methods for patients with rectal DIE, and also provide a research basis for the prospective clinical studies.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether a preference-oriented quality of life monitoring with defined diagnostic and therapeutic options improves quality of life in patients with lung cancer during routine follow-up care.
The goal of this intervention study is to investigate the effectiveness of individualized plant-based diet plan on nutritional indices and clinical outcomes in colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The main questions to answer are: 1. What are the current eating trends in colorectal cancer patients? 2. What are the common perceptions of adopting a plant-based diet in colorectal cancer? 3. Does iPLANT diet plan improve nutritional indices of colorectal cancer patients? 4. Does iPLANT diet plan improve patients' gastrointestinal side effects and quality of life without compromising their nutritional status? Participants will be randomly assigned into two arms (intervention and control) using opaque envelop system. Intervention group will receive individualized plant-based diet plan and diet counselling, whereas the control group will receive usual diet counselling. The researcher will compare the differences in nutritional outcomes and quality of life between intervention and control groups before and after intervention.
