OBJECTIVE: to investigate the effects of cognitive rehabilitation including combined approaches on quality of the life and social participation of stroke patients. METHODS: 20 patients with chronic stroke were randomly divided into two groups (Group 1 and 2), each including 10. Patients in each group were treated with neurophysiological exercises 3 times a week for 8 weeks and the subjects in Group 1 received cognitive rehabilitation additionally. The cognitive rehabilitation program consisted of individualized combined approaches including multicontextual treatment and bottom-up approaches. Loeweinstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to assess cognitive status, Short Form-36 (SF-36) to assess the quality of life, Functional Independence Measure (FIM) to evaluate functional independence, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique- Short Form (CHART-SF) to evaluate social participation were used.
This study was assessed the impact of a web-based education program provided to mothers of infants with congenital heart diseases on their quality of life and self-efficacy levels. The study is a mixed-method approach with a qualitative and pre-test post-test design, utilizing randomized controlled quasiexperimental type. The research was conducted with mothers of infants diagnosed with congenital heart disease who sought care at the Pediatric Cardiology Outpatient Clinic of a university hospital and were followed up. There are two groups in the study. Web-based education was provided to mothers in the intervention group (n=30). No intervention was applied to the mothers in the control group (n=30) other than the outpatient clinic routine of the hospital.
The primary goal of this study is to assess in vivo the efficacy of the insoles in improving venous return in subjects affected by this problem after 14 days of medical device use, by self-assessment, filling-in questions regarding Quality of Life, in comparison to the baseline. The secondary goals of this study are (1) to assess in vivo the perception of subjects about the rapid relief felt after 7 days of using the same medical device, by self-assessment, filling-in three subjective evaluation questions, and (2) to assess in vivo the usability of the subjects regarding the same medical device after 14 days of its use, by self-assessment, filling-in subjective evaluation questions.
To examine the effect of dance interventions on cognitive functions and quality of life in patients with chronic stroke.
It it hypothesized that children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, who are counting carbohydrates can achieve better metabolic control by concurrent use of the Accu-Chek Aviva Expert. Additionally, it is proposed that carbohydrate counting in combination with the the Accu-Chek Aviva Expert will lead to better quality of life as a result of fewer restrictions when eating and less variation in blood glucose.
This study was evaluated anxiety, pain, and oral health-related quality of life in individuals treated with conventional fixed appliances (Group A) and clear aligners (Group B) for moderate malocclusion during the initial phase of orthodontic treatment
The present study has investigated the impact of schemas, cognitive emotion regulation and social connectedness on the Quality of life of HIV patients in South Punjab region, Pakistan.
The aims of this study were to: 1. Compare the effects of low-dose Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training on untrained healthy adults' quality-of-life, functional capacity, and strength. 2. Qualitatively explore perceptions of Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training.
The goal of this clinical, randomized trial is to compare the sleeping patterns and quality of life of children with chronic otitis media with effusion (OME) with or without tympanic tubes insertion. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does tympanic tube insertion have an effect on sleep quality in children with chronic OME? - Does tympanic tube insertion improve the quality of life for the children with chronic OME and their caregivers? Participants will have their movements during sleep and number of awakenings measured by an accelerometer placed on their wrist for 7 nights before and after tympanic tube insertion. Their caregivers will answer questionnaires regarding quality of life on behalf of the child. Researchers will compare with a control group of children who also is diagnosed with chronic OME. They will also have their sleep monitored for 7 nights and their caregivers will complete quality of life questionnaires, but the will not receive a tympanic tube. However the control group will be reassessed a month after baseline, and if they still qualify for tympanic tube insertion they will undergo the same routine as the intervention group.
Background: Urinary incontinence is involuntary urinary leakage. Although it is not life-threatening, it dramatically influences the quality of life. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence, type, and risk factors of UI in married women and its effect on their quality of life. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted on 413 women. This research was conducted between October 2022 and July 2023 in the central district of a province in the northwestern region of Türkiye. The data were collected using a Personal Information Form and the Incontinence Quality of Life. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS for Windows, IBM, version 22.0) at a significance level of 0.05. Descriptive statistics baseline characteristics. Normality was tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The results showed that the data were normally distributed. Therefore, an independent t-test (t-table value) was used for two independent groups, while an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) (F-table value) was used for more than two groups.
