Filter by:The purpose of the study is to investigate the long-term effects of a personalized physical activity program on exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with stable cardiovascular disease. The analysis also intends to evaluate the prognostic value of cardiovascular function estimated through a walking test (1km Treadmill Walking Test, 1k-TWT) in relation to survival, hospitalization, and medical costs. The program considers clinical, socio-economic, and behavioural aspects, psychological support, and risk factor control. Patients receive indications for carrying out a home training program based on the performance of moderate-intensity aerobic activity at least 3-4 days a week for at least 30-60 minutes a day. All patients are also encouraged to improve their daily habits by preferring a more active lifestyle both at home and at work.
This is a randomized controlled trial that intends to verify the effectiveness of the daily practice of meditation before going to sleep for the improvement of sleep, stress, mental health and quality of life of people with sleep problems.
Most research to date on bariatric surgery outcomes has been about metabolic syndrome, a disorder very effectively treated by bariatric surgery. However, obesity is also associated with many other problems that have received much less attention. Amongst the most troubling of these for patients is dyspnea. Dyspnea results in substantial patient distress that can greatly reduce health-related quality of life. Little is known about the relationship between dyspnea, weight loss, and bariatric surgery. Dyspnea is a complex symptom that may lead to adaptive responses, such as the need to rest as a consequence of even minimal activity or seeking medical attention. The main outcome of the study will be measured using a new state-of-the-science validated HRQOL measure, the Patient Reported Outcome Measuring Information System for Heart Failure (PROMIS+HF 27).
The study will examine the role of digital wellness modules (brief mindfulness and light to moderate physical exercise) delivered through a smartphone wellness application and their short-term effects on health behavior motivation and change, and longer-term quality of life and non-pathological affective states.
The timing of elective surgery in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be crucial according to progression of the disease. In most cases, medical treatment has failed when surgery is discussed. If treatment with surgery then is delayed, complications may arise, such as fistula, severe inflammation with risk of perforation or stenosis, nutrition problems i.e. This may affect quality of life, and also make the surgery more complicated, with higher risk of per- and postoperative complications. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a shift in resources where elective surgery has been postponed. The waiting time for elective surgery for IBD-patients at Sahlgrenska University Hospital/Östra is still affected which might have impact on patient health outcomes as well as health economics, due to the risk of complications and need of emergency and planned care while waiting for surgery. The primary object is to evaluate how long an IBD patient can wait for surgery before affecting health economy and quality of life. In the operation program Orbit, we identify all patients with ulcerative colitits (UC) and Crohn´s disease (CD) that stands in line for elective surgery (not including dysplasia/cancer). The date when operation was decided is registered including time of delay. Patient characteristics are registered in CRF, including diagnosis, age and reason for scheduled surgery. Number of hospital visits (planned/emergency visits) are registered during time of waiting for surgery. Days of sick leave is registered from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. Questionnaires are sent to the patients for quality of life and bowel function (EQ5D and Short Health Scale). The primary endpoint in the first manuscript is how health economics is affected by the delay of elective care in IBD-patients, due to complications and extensive need of hospital visits while waiting for surgery, costs of medical material (stoma bandage i.e), costs of medical treatment and sick leave rates, including quality of life. Patients who have been operated for IBD will form the control group and comparison will be made in terms of complications, hospital visits, costs of medical material and medical treatment and sick leave rates, as well as quality of life.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the nursing support program developed in line with the Roy Adaptation Model on the quality of life, sleep quality and depressive symptom status of women in surgical menopause. Design: The study was a single-center, randomized, controlled trial. Setting: This study was carried out in the gynecology clinic of a training and research hospital in Türkiye. Method: The participants were randomized into two equal groups: intervention and control. The nursing support program developed in addition to routine nursing care was applied to the intervention group. Routine nursing care was given to the women in the control group. Data were collected with "Personal Information Form", "Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnare", "Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index" and "Perimenopausal Depression Scale". Hypothesis: H0-a: Nursing support program developed in line with the Roy Adaptation Model has no effect on the quality of life of women who have undergone surgical menopause. H0-b: Nursing support program developed in line with the Roy Adaptation Model has no effect on the sleep quality of women who have undergone surgical menopause. H0-c: Nursing support program developed in line with the Roy Adaptation Model has no effect on the depressive symptom status of women who have undergone surgical menopause.
This is single centre retrospective study with propensity score matching. The aim of the study is to develop criteria for determining groups of patients with a new coronavirus infection based on clinical, laboratory and instrumental data for whom rehabilitation programs (physical exercises, chest massage in an electrostatic field) will be effective. Data on predictors of effective rehabilitation in COVID-19 is limited. Knowledge of predictors of possibility and efficacy of rehabilitation programs could enhance patients recovery. The main symptoms of COVID-19 involve the respiratory system and psychological function. Early rehabilitation can reduce hospital length of stay. Different patients have different degrees of dysfunction; therefore, personal plans should be developed according to the patient's age, sex, lifestyle and physical condition. Regular follow-up and rehabilitation guidance were conducted for discharged patients, focusing on improving vital capacity and cardiopulmonary endurance. There is a clear consensus that early rehabilitation is an important strategy for the treatment of polyneuropathy and myopathy in critical disease, to facilitate and improve long-term recovery and patients' functional independence, and to reduce the duration of respiratory support and hospitalization. Early rehabilitation and exercise prescriptions remain to be further optimized, especially for hospitalised patients.
This study examines the immediate and long-term effectiveness of a group cognitive behavioral therapy intervention (GCBT) in improving health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children treated for mixed psychiatric disorders in naturalistic child psychiatric outpatient settings. The effects of a treatment-as-usual condition (TAU) is also examined. Further, the study aims to explore the associations among children´s HRQOL dimensions and parental well-being, and how GCBT may influence these associations.
Brief Summary: The definition of individuals with disabilities, who are among the disadvantaged group, is defined by Law No. 5378 as "those who have difficulties in adapting to social life and meeting their daily needs due to the loss of their physical, mental, spiritual, sensory and social abilities at various degrees due to any congenital or subsequent reason; and a person who needs protection, care, rehabilitation, counseling and support services" (Law on the Disabled). Due to the fact that the conditions and needs of physically disabled women are not well expressed, they have not benefited enough from services such as education and health and they have faced difficulties. No study has been found in the world or in our country that examines the effect of laughter yoga on physically disabled women and their relatives. In this study, it is thought that the practice of laughter yoga can increase the psychological well-being and quality of life of physically disabled women and their relatives. Aim: This study was planned to measure the effect of laughter yoga on psychological well-being and quality of life in physically disabled women and their relatives.
When the literature is examined, there are studies examining the relationship between low back pain and anxiety depression, quality of life and LDH in patients with lumbar disc herniation. There are many studies on the clinical use of manual therapy methods in LDH. Most of these studies examine the effect of manual therapy on pain and functional level. However, there are hardly any studies examining the effect of manual therapy on quality of life and psychological factors in LDH patients. The aim of our study is to examine the effect of mobilization, which is a manual therapy application, on psychological factors (kinesiophobia, pain catastrophic thought, anxiety and depression) and quality of life in LDH patients.
