Filter by: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.
The leading cause of adult disability globally is stroke. Although stroke is rated as the third major cause of mortality in wealthy nations, it is the second major cause of mortality in developing nations. When creating a questionnaire for use in a different context, a procedure known as "cross-cultural adaptation" takes into account both linguistic (translation) and cultural adaption concerns. Beaten guidelines are standard to develop a questionnaire into a new language, measure it's psychometric properties and culturally adapt into a new population. By Williams, Weinberger, Harris, and Clark in 1999, the SS-QOL was published and verified for the first time. Since the Stroke Specific quality of life (SS-QOL) is meant to be self-administered, no training is necessary. According to one study, stroke victims can be accurately measured using the scale over the phone. The SS-QOL scale may be finished in 10 to 15 minutes. The SS QOL score increases with improved functioning. Cronbach's alpha values varied from satisfactory (alpha = 0.75 for the work/productivity subscale) to outstanding (alpha = 0.89 for self-care) in Williams' et al. (1999a) investigation of the internal consistency of the SS-QOL in 34 stroke patients, indicating that the SS-QOL has a good internal consistency. The present study endeavors to address this gap by translating the Stroke Specific Quality of Life questionnaire into Urdu, enabling a culturally adapted and accessible assessment tool. By assessing the validity of the obtained scores within the Pakistani population, this study aims to establish the reliability and effectiveness of the Urdu version. Consequently, this will serve to bridge the literature gap in stroke-related quality of life assessments among Urdu speakers in Pakistan. In doing so, this research strives to provide valuable insights and a comprehensive tool for clinical setups across diverse settings, urban or rural. By introducing a standardized gold standard test, healthcare professionals can confidently make accurate diagnoses and prognoses for their stroke patients. The Stroke Specific Quality of Life questionnaire, with its 49 self-report items encompassing 12 energy-related domains, is poised to contribute substantially to a more thorough understanding of stroke's impact on the quality of life within the Urdu-speaking population.
İdiopathic scoliosis is a three dimensional deformity with lateral deviation and rotation of the spine. In idiopathic scoliosis, scoliosis-specific exercises are utilized as a primary treatment for moderate curves and as a supportive measure alongside bracing for more severe curves. SEAS, which stands for Scientific Exercises Approach to Scoliosis, refers to a treatment approach developed as a scientific exercise methodology for scoliosis. This approach aims to provide scoliosis-specific exercises and techniques to manage and potentially improve the condition. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of SEAS as a conservative treatment approach for mild AIS.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effectiveness of mindfulness-based VR could enhance depression, sleep quality, and overall quality of life for family caregivers providing care for people with dementia. Participants will be ask to attend the six-week course encompassed various mindfulness practices, including breathing observation, body scanning, mindful yoga, mindful walking, holistic meditation, and non-selective awareness practices. The control group will only be given the mindfulness-based audio files for six weeks.
This is a clinical trial to assess the effect of a neuropsychosocial intervention by means of telecare aimed at children and adolescents aged 7-16 years with neuromuscular diseases. The intervention is carried out in groups of 5 participants and is organised in 12 sessions: 1 session per week of 1h duration. The intervention is aimed at strengthening aspects of social cognition, self-esteem, social skills and aims at a reduction of symptomatology and a general improvement of psychological well-being.
To investigate the extent to which pain, functionality, and quality of life change over the progression of osteoarthritis grades.
Primary immunodeficiency is a clinically, immunologically, and genetically heterogeneous group of diseases that occur as a result of quantitative and/or qualitative deficiency of one or more cellular and molecular components belonging to the immune system. This classification, called the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health ( ICF), constitutes a common language and perspective for the definition of health and health-related conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the body structure function, activity and participation limitations of adult immunodeficiency patients within the scope of ICF and to compare body structure function, activity and participation limitations and compare with healthy people.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the drug compliance of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and, to figure our factors that affect the compliance. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Medication use and compliance in children with chronic diseases is an important problem, but do patients with JIA really use their medications in harmony? - Does the level of adherence to medications affect the quality of life of patients with JIA? Participants will be asked to fill the demographic form which includes personal information and nutritional habbits, Morisky Drug Compliance Scale - 8 and the pediatric quality of life inventory forms, with attending researcher Yesfa Sebnem Ozbay, M.D. This study is not an interventional study.
Researchers aim to compare demographic characteristics, prosthesis type, functional capacity, and quality of life between faller and non-faller transtibial amputees.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of auricular acupressure (AA) to relieve constipation symptoms and improve quality of life in patients hospitalized for their heart failure. A total of 72 participants were randomly assigned and 68 (33 in the AA group and 35 in the control group) completed the study. Outcomes were measured by the Bristolv Stool Form Scale, Constipation Assessment Scale, Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms, Visual Scale Analog, Beck Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory at baseline, Weeks 1 and 2, as well as Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire and Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life at baseline and Week 2.
