Filter by:The study was planned as a two-group parallel randomized controlled experimental study in order to determine the effects of the nurse navigation program developed for mothers in the postpartum period on mothers' self-care power, quality of life, anxiety and depression risks, and physical symptom severity. The study will be carried out in Ankara Etlik Zübeyde Hanım Gynecology Training and Research Hospital. The population of the research will be primiparous mothers who gave birth vaginally in Ankara.
The aim of our study is to compare the effectiveness of the supervized pulmonary telerehabilitation program and the cognitive telerehabilitation method, which includes pulmonary telerehabilitation methods, in patients with severe stage COPD who have difficulty exercising heavily. The effects of pulmonary and cognitive rehabilitation on dyspnea, muscle strength, functional capacity, quality of life, anxiety and depression levels in this patient group will be examined. The number of studies in the literature in which the pulmonary rehabilitation program was applied as telerehabilitation is insufficient. Considering that this patient group is not motivated and has difficulty in exercising, motor imagery and movement observation methods from cognitive rehabilitation methods may be alternative methods for these patients. Although these methods have been very popular in recent years in terms of researching and demonstrating their effectiveness in various patient groups in the literature, no study has been found in which the effects of these methods have been applied in pulmonary disease groups. This study aims to contribute to the serious gap in the literature on the application of pulmonary telerehabilitation and its effectiveness, and to be an original study by investigating the effectiveness of motor imagery and action observation, which are popular rehabilitation methods of recent years, in COPD patients in the pulmonary disease group for the first time.
Cardiac surgical patients entering the hospital for operation were voluntarily recruited to participate a 12 month follow- up of health related quality of life (QOL)
The fact that an individual has a physical, social or mental disability affects not only the individual, but also the close environment of the individual and even the society in which he lives. Those who are most affected by this situation in the society are undoubtedly the caregivers. Caregivers of individuals with disabilities experience more anxiety than other caregivers, spare less time for themselves, and participate in less physical and social activities. As a result of social, physical and emotional burdens on parents and other caregivers of disabled individuals, low quality of life, unhealthy family function and negative psychological conditions are observed in caregivers, especially stress. Problems related to financial situation, exclusion from social environment, psychological state, sense of burnout and educational status are among the other problems experienced by caregivers. The aim of this study; The aim of this study is to examine the effects of technology supported yoga applied to caregivers of individuals with special needs on care burden, quality of life and psychological well-being. Research data will be collected from the caregivers of individuals with special needs registered in a Guidance and Research Center in a province. The data of the study will be collected using the Socio-demographic Data Collection Form, the Caregiver Burden Scale, the Multidimensional Quality of Life Scale, and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. The study is in a randomized controlled design. SPSS 25.0 program will be used in the data analysis of the research. Descriptive data will be analyzed using number, percentage, mean, standard deviations. Spearman test will be applied to determine the correlations between the scale scores. of groups Homogeneity in terms of descriptive statistics will be analyzed with the Kolmogorov Smirnov Test. Student t or Mann Whitney U tests will be used to compare numerical data in two independent groups, and One-way ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis tests will be used for comparisons in more than two independent groups. Relationships between categorical variables will be tested with chi-square test and relationships between numerical variables will be tested with correlation coefficient. The significance level will be accepted as 0.05. The power and effect size of the study will be calculated by regression analysis.
The latest data indicate that post COVID-19 condition is frequent in children and adolescents, with the most common symptoms being fatigue, shortness of breath, exercise intolerance and weakness. Evidence that COVID-19 can have significant long-term effects on children's health highlights the need for measures to reduce the impact of the pandemic on children, ensuring that they receive appropriate treatments. Those experiencing post COVID-19 condition require more tailored exercise-related advice and improved support to be able to resume activities important to their individual well-being. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have yet addressed the issue of exercise programs for children with post COVID-19 condition. The aim of this study, therefore, is to evaluate the effectiveness of different interventions on pulmonary function, exercise capacity, fatigue and quality of life in children with post COVID-19 condition. This will be a randomized controlled study with pre and post intervention assessment. Children will be recruited from primary schools and primary health care units in Warsaw. Participants meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized to one of 3 groups: water-based exercise, land-based exercise or control (no exercise). The water-based and land-based exercise groups will be held twice a week, 45 min per session for 8 weeks. Participants will be assessed at baseline and immediately post-intervention in terms of changes in pulmonary function, exercise capacity, fatigue and quality of life. Research outcomes will build the evidence-based practice for health professionals.
Of the 1,900,000 Canadians who have been infected by COVID-19, 8 to 15% will continue to experience COVID-19 related symptoms well after 12 weeks. The persistence of such symptoms is now defined as "long COVID" syndrome. Current evidence does not provide a clear understanding of the physical and cognitive impairments and functional limitations that persons with long COVID present. The objectives of this project are to describe the physical and cognitive impairments and functional limitations experienced by people with long COVID and compare the evolution over 6 months of people from three separate groups: a group of people with long COVID (long COVID Group), another group of people who contracted COVID-19 but did not experience persistent symptoms (acute COVID Group), and a group of people who did not contract COVID-19 (Control Group). One hundred and twenty adults in each of the three groups will be recruited and will take part in three evaluations within 6 months (baseline and 3 and 6 months after baseline). At baseline, all participants will complete questionnaires on sociodemographics, COVID symptomatology and comorbidity, and self-reported questionnaires on quality of life, functional status, sleep, pain-related disabilities, anxiety, depression, fatigue and cognitive function. Then, physical and cognitive tests will be performed in a laboratory to provide complementary results on impairments and functional limitations. Finally, participants will wear a fitness tracker watch to monitor their activity and sleep for 7 days. The participants will complete the same measures (questionnaires, lab measures, fitness tracker watch) at 3 and 6 months after baseline evaluations. This project will lead to a better understanding of the impairments/limitations experienced following COVID-19. Hence, these results will allow to identify the interventions needed by the population and ensure these are offered through effective healthcare pathways.
Increasing quality of life and improving hand functions are very substantial treatment goals for physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Trunk control is important for these parameters in children with hemiparetic and diparetic Cerebral Palsy.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a movement and posture disorder accompanied by sensory, perception, cognition, communication and behavioral disorders that cause activity limitations by causing various non-progressive disorders of the fetal or infant brain. Spastic CP, according to the affected area in the body; It is classified as hemiparetic, diparetic and is observed most frequently. Diparetic CP, on the other hand, is characterized by significant spasticity in the pelvis and lower extremities, mild hypertonus or spasticity in the upper extremities, and incoordination, mostly involving the lower extremities and some upper extremities.Although lower extremity involvement is observed in different degrees in children with diparetic CP, studies showing how upper extremity and hand functions are affected are insufficient.The aim of this study is to compare the effect of upper extremity functional skills on quality of life and participation levels in children with diparetic CP with their healthy peers.
This research will be carried out to determine the effect of walking exercises performed using a behavioral change model on symptom severity and quality of life in patients with Atrial Fibrillation.
The purpose of this study is to test the adapted protocol, CAPABLE Family which builds upon the evidenced based CAPABLE program to address older adults with co-occurring physical disability and mild cognitive impairment or early stage dementia and the older adults' caregivers. It will consist of two phases - an open label pilot and waitlist control trial.
