Filter by:To limit Corona virus dissemination on its territory, France applied strict confinement from March 16th to May 11th. Scientific societies recommended treatment modifications and remote consultations that were applied. This study evaluates the clinical impact of these care adaptation on patients under treatment for a digestive tumor. A special focus is made on quality of life and psycho-social impact of treatment modifications on patients diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer and metastatic pancreatic cancer.
To evaluate the effectiveness of Nurse Led Transitional Care Model (TCM) on the functional autonomy, quality of life and rehospitalization rates of elderly patients undergoing open heart surgery.
The impact of the current Covid-19 pandemic on healthcare workers is enormous. This longitudinal study investigates the prevalence of mental health problems and the quality of life of healthcare workers during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. Underlying risk factors are also examined. Health care workers of the different Covid-19 cohort and transit wards, as well as the intensive care unit and (psychiatric) emergency services of the Ghent university hospital will be included, as well as the health care workers of 6 non-Covid-19 wards.
This study was designed to evaluate the beneficial effects and safety of a standardised botanical extract combination containing soy isoflavone extract, grains of paradise seed dry extract and pomegranate skin dry extract on health-related Quality of Life in healthy Spanish menopausal women with hot flashes, anxiety, and depressive symptoms using the self reported and validated Cervantes Scale.
It has been shown in previous important outbreaks of infectious diseases that they have a huge impact on individuals and communities. The psychological effects of the illness itself and the traumatic experiences of loved ones are experienced by individuals and complete health systems. Added to this, the social ecosystem and family finances are also severely affected. After several months of the outbreak start and several weeks of quarantine and self-isolation, the emotional burden on the community has increased. Added to this, many of the confirmed cases are healthcare workers. In addition to the risk of infection, these front-line staff are exposed to high levels of stress and anxiety. This gets worse as the pressure on the health system increases, forcing them to deal with significant ethical issues. To respond to all these issues, the research group led by Dr. Cris Vilaplana at the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), have launched a questionnaire to ask the public, including health professionals, how are they being affected by the pandemic, not only in relation to their health but in terms of their emotional wellbeing and their family finances. The project is an initiative of the SMA-TB consortium (IGTP and Anaxomics) to fight against COVID-19. The Fundació Lluita contra la SIDA is also collaborating in the project. The survey is based on questions related to depression, anxiety, stress, and post-traumatic stress disorder, which have already been used in other epidemic outbreaks and in disaster situations, but it also includes questions adapted to the current situation. The survey (now available in 4 languages) has been designed to be shared using a snowball strategy, making possible for everybody to participate and collaborate. The results obtained will initially help us to better understand the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on the general wellbeing of the population and health workers so that we can go on to develop strategies in coordination those in charge of administrations in order to adapt policies to people's real needs. The results of the study will be published in a scientific article and will be publicly available.
COPD patients will be examined in 4 groups according to their walking distance. Patients walking under 150 meters will be determined as Group 1, those walking between 150-249 meters will be Group 2, those walking between 250-349 meters will be selected as Group 3, and patients with COPD who walk 350 and above will be determined as Group 4. The groups were compared in terms of quality of life, psychological symptoms and dyspnea.
The present study aims to assess the determinants of health-related quality of life and long-term outcomes among survivors of hospitalization for Covid-19 in Brazil. The investigators will conduct a multicenter prospective cohort study nested in randomized clinical trials (coalition Covid-19 Brazil initiative) originally designed to assess the effects of specific Covid-19 treatments. Adult survivors of hospitalization due to proven or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection will be followed up for a period of one year by means of structured telephone interviews. The primary outcome is one-year health-related quality of life assessed by the EQ-5D-3L. Secondary outcomes include all-cause mortality, rehospitalizations, return to work or study, physical functional status assessed by the Lawton & Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale, dyspnea assessed by the modified medical research council dyspnea scale, need of long-term ventilatory support, symptoms of anxiety and depression assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder assessed by the Impact of Event Scale-revised.
This study is a single blind semi-experimental study. Aim: To investigate the effect of standardized care on peristomal skin complications and quality of life in colorectal cancer patients undergoing ostomy surgery. H1: Standard stoma care which is established evidence-based guides and complication algorithm, reduces peristomal skin complications in patients with colorectal cancer and an ostomy. H2: Standard stoma care which is established evidence-based guides and complication algorithm, increases the quality of life in patients with colorectal cancer and an ostomy.
Hospital staff and emergency personnel are expected to suffer impaired psychological outcomes during a pandemic in terms of Quality of Life, anxiety, depression or other outcomes. The Covid-19 pandemic is a threat for both somatic and psychological health, therefore the impact of the impairment of this event on psychological parameters has to be assessed.
Celiac disease is defined as an autoimmune enteropathy with malabsorption of gluten protein. In recent studies, it has been stated that in individuals diagnosed with celiac disease, intestinal epithelial barrier integrity is impaired. Increased zonulin concentration in blood is considered as an indicator of increased intestinal permeability. Gluten-free diet is the only treatment of celiac disease. Adherence to gluten free diet provides decreasing of intestinal permeability however gluten free diet has different aspects on nutritional status and health related quality of life in people with celiac disease. The aim of this study is to determine nutritional status, intestinal permeability and quality of life in people with celiac disease. In the study,it primarily hypothesized that celiac patients noncompliant to gluten-free diet may have increased circulating levels of zonulin and increased intestinal permeability compared to celiac patients compliant to gluten-free diet.
