Filter by:Heart failure is a major public health problem worldwide. Heart failure is one of the most common causes for hospitalizations among people over 65 years of age in the United States. Nationwide, approximately 25% of patients admitted to a hospital for heart failure are readmitted to a hospital within 30 days.Multiple transitional care interventions, including telemonitoring, aimed to decrease hospital readmission rates and improve quality of life in heart failure (HF) patients have been explored. Most studies evaluated effectiveness of telemonitoring used in conjunction with other interventions. In this study, investigators studied the role of a potentially cost-effective, telemonitoring program in reducing readmissions and improving quality of life among patients admitted with HF exacerbation in a teaching hospital. They aimed to determine impact of a standalone telemonitoring system. Primary outcome: Rate of hospital readmission for heart failure Secondary outcomes: Quality of life, Perceived effect of the intervention on heart-failure related care
Patients with heart failure will be entered. Participants will be randomized to one of three study arms: Arm 1: Classical massage, Arm 2: Relaxation, Arm 3: Control Hypothesis: Classical Massage and Benson Muscle Relaxation will decrease frequency, severity, discomfort of symptoms and improve quality of life.
Randomized clinical trial to determine whether a multicomponent intervention will lead to improvements in mobility, self-care, mood, pain, and physical activity among frail and pre-frail older adults (as measured with the Essential Frailty Toolset; EFT) hospitalized for an acute cardiovascular illness.
This project aims to explore, in depth, the burden of hearing loss and tinnitus on cancer survivors. Using semi-structured interviews, audiograms and a variety of validated questionnaires, the specific impact ototoxicity has on quality of life will be investigated. From this, we can identify the specific needs of patients experiencing hearing loss and tinnitus following chemotherapy and develop a tailored and personalised support system.
The purpose of this community-engaged project is to examine how taking part in different arts (dance & music), compared to control (no arts) affects older adults' Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL using the Short Form-20(SF) form), physical performance (Short Physical Performance Battery-SPPB), cognition (using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-MoCA), social engagement (National Social Life, Health, & Aging Project-NSHAP survey), and perceptions of self (focus interviews).
This South Initiative is the first step towards a long-term general objective that aims to improve the manage-ment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and concurrently create jobs for health professionals in Eastern Morocco by developing a multidisciplinary approach in the management of T2D, based upon international guidelines but adapted to the regional socio-economic and cultural context, and with a focus on empowerment of Muslim women. The intermediate results of this SI project proposal are: 1) Facilitators and perceived barriers in female patients with T2D towards change to a healthier lifestyle are known. 2) Characteristics of patients with T2D in the region of Oujda (prevalence, lifestyle, age, gender,…) are analysed. 3) Master and bachelor students have gained experience by participating to relevant research. 4) All involved stakeholders shared existing and newly ac-quired knowledge and expertise. 5) Facilitators and perceived barriers in health professionals of different disciplines to work together in the management of T2D are known.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery affects the quality of life of women who are treated with primary surgery for endometrial cancer. So far, very little has been published and basically no long-term follow-up. Included patients respond to questionnaires preoperatively, 2 weeks after surgery and 3 months and 12 months after surgery. Each patient thus answers the questionnaires (the same) on four occasions. The questionnaires used are validated and used extensively internationally. The first survey has two parts, QLQ30 and the module for endometrial cancer EN24. In addition the study includes use PHQ -9 and GAD 7.
People with schizophrenia are faced with social problems such as repeated hospitalizations, stigma with lack of social skills, unemployment, lack of necessary and adequate health care and education due to lack of adequate care in the community they live in. It is known that psychoeducation practices aimed at developing social skills in schizophrenia give patients new skills and these skills continue for many years. This study aimed to determine the effect of group psychoeducation that focused on social skill development on treatment adaptation, quality of life and well-being in schizophrenia patients and the interaction between these variables over time.
A negative body image negatively affects the total health of students and the quality of life in University students. Body image and the experience of body appearance pressure have not been investigated previously among the Norwegian student population. It is reasonable to suggest that sport science students experience an increased pressure to have an athletic body to be able to identify as a sport science student and for future job opportunities. Such pressure would negatively influence students' attitudes and practice as future communicators of lifestyle knowledge after completing their studies. Objective: The study objective is to assess body image and body appearance pressure among Norwegian University students, and to investigate differences between different academic disciplines and gender. The study uses a cross-sectional design with a questionnaire to measure outcomes in male and female students in Norway.
This study aims to investigate the effect of education and tele-consultancy intervention based on Watson's Human Care Theory on self-efficacy and quality of life of individuals with COPD.
