Filter by:This study has two segments the first is a chart and outcome assessment of patients treated at Clear Passage (CP) with a history of small bowel obstruction (SBO). These patients have completed multiple questionnaires as a standard of care for outcome monitoring in the clinic setting, no new data will be collected. The second segment is a prospective observational, online questionnaire based study of subjects with a history of SBO not treated at CP. Data on the impact of quality of life (QOL) over time of subjects not treated at CP will be assessed using the same questionnaire used as standard of care in the clinic twice, 90 days apart. This will be accomplished using the NIH Assessment Center, with subjects able to complete the questionnaires with ease via the internet. As this segment is observational, there is minimal risk to these subjects. The data obtained from the untreated subjects will allow for reporting of overall impact on QOL in this population, data that is not available, as well as provide a control group for assessment of improvement for interventions for SBO.
This study will allow us to determine the perceived Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) a year after ICU discharge, and compare it with HRQL measured earlier on in the process, as well as analyse the negative experiences they had while in the ICU and as a result of MV and their impact over time. It will also allow us to assess the effect of Nursing Sensitive Outcomes and ICU stressors on health-related outcomes and how they affect HRQL.
BACKGROUND: Individual approaches at the workplace might not be sufficient to control Work Related Musculoskeletal Diseases (WMSDs) since they are multifactorial and refractory cases might need an additional rehabilitation program. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate multifaceted intervention efficacy to manage the WMSDs. METHODS: A Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire was applied pre and post intervention to determine the efficacy of a multifaceted program, including ergonomics, exercise program and acupuncture/physical therapy exercises orientation at the workplace in 126 workers of a hearing-aid industry. Additionally, a self-perception survey (Likert scale) concerning absenteeism, quality of life and work ability helped to evaluate the program that lasts one year and ten months.
The purpose of this study is to determine if an eight week multimodal Relaxation Response Resiliency Program (3RP) intervention can effectively improve symptom severity, frequency and quality of life (Q.O.L) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. This will be measured by a reduction in AF symptom score, perceived stress, anxiety, hostility and depression.
To clarify the potential benefits of NACT before radical surgery(RS), we perform a phase III, randomised controlled trial to compare NACT plus RS with RS alone in patients with stages IB2 and IIA2 cervical cancer.
Current study aims to analyze the outcomes of j-pouch and side-to-end anastomosis in rectal cancer patients treated with laparoscopic hand-assisted low anterior resection
This is a prospective randomized study, comparing quality of life in renal stone patients undergoing surgical treatment with ureteroscopy (URS) versus percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL).
The investigators goal is to create a better understanding of patient reported outcomes for bladder management strategies (clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), indwelling catheter (IDC) and bladder surgery.
This training program is a part of Happy Family Kitchen Movement Project, which is a community-based research project with 3 main components for data collection - training programs, community-based family interventions and public education events. The training program involves various organizations, including non-government organizations and schools across districts in different regions of Hong Kong. In the study, the investigators would use training programs as a capacity building method and an essential media delivering the holistic health knowledge (positive psychology, physical activity, healthy diet) to the public. The project team will provide training program for the participants, including: (i) train-the-trainer workshops for the social service workers, who will conduct community-based family intervention programs; and (ii) train-the-trainer ambassadors for the volunteers who may assist to implement health-related activities for the public.
This project aims to investigate the physical, mental and cognitive recovery after admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This will be done by a three and 12 month follow up after discharge. The patients will be scored with four validated methods for evaluating their health related quality of life, anxiety and depression, cognitive function and physical impairments
