mACMA is a pilot study that is developed for breast cancer survivors of the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona. The objective of this study is to evaluate the progress in quality of life through the introduction of a mobile phone App that allows for symptom tracking, physical activity tracking and a calendar of patient-oriented events organized by patient organizations. This study is a two-arm randomized clinical trial. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 875351.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women with a high mortality rate in the world. The several methods are used in the treatment of breast cancer. One or more of these methods can be preferred according to the characteristics of women with breast cancer. Women may experience many different physiological and psychological symptoms during each treatment process.This situation negatively affects the quality of life of women with breast cancer. For this reason, there is a need for an intervention that could improve quality of life in women with breast cancer. In the literature, it is stated that nurse-led supportive care can be an effective nursing intervention to improve the quality of life in women with breast cancer.
Common mental disorders can be disabling and lead to a large burden of disease. Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders was developed to address emotional disorders with evidence-based emotional-focused cognitive-behavioural techniques and is efficacious in reducing anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms in adults. Previous research has demonstrated comparable effect of UP on reducing anxiety symptoms compared with the single-disorder protocol (SDP) for anxiety. Group-based UP was also implemented and tested. Given the fact that working populations are at a high risk of poor mental health, especially in light of the COVID pandemic with new unprecedented work situations and increased uncertainties, the present study aims to investigate the efficacy of Unified protocol on sleep and mental health in high-risk population.
This is study designed to confirm the effectiveness of the Sana Device in patients with pain due to fibromyalgia on quality of life as measured by the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Revised (FIQR).

Generation Victoria (GenV) is a longitudinal, population-based study of Victorian children and their parents that will bring together data on a wide range of conditions, exposures and outcomes. GenV blends study-collected, study-enhanced and linked data. It will be multi-purpose, supporting observational, interventional, health services and policy research within the same cohort. It is designed to address physical, mental and social issues experienced during childhood, as well as the antecedents of a wide range of diseases of ageing. It seeks to generate translatable evidence (prediction, prevention, treatments, services) to improve future wellbeing and reduce the future disease burden of children and adults. The GenV Cohort 2020s is open to all babies born over a two-year period, and their parents, residing in the state of Victoria Australia. The GenV Cohort 2020s is preceded by an Advance Cohort of babies born between 5 Dec 2020 and 3 October 2021, and their parents. This comprises all families recruited at GenV's Vanguard hospital (Joan Kirner Women's and Children's) and at birthing hospitals throughout Victoria as GenV scaled up to commence recruiting for the GenV Cohort 2020s. The Advance Cohort have ongoing and full participation in GenV for their lifetime unless they withdraw but may have less complete data and biosamples.
Diverticular disease is one of the most common diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in industrial countries. Prevalence and admission rate due to diverticular disease increases. Symptomatic patients usually present with acute uncomplicated or complicated diverticulitis. Recurrence rates of complicated diverticulitis are estimated to 10-30%. Recurrences, chronic complications or persisting pain, here collectively referred to as chronic diverticular disease, may be treated by elective sigmoidectomy. Currently, there is no specific criteria for elective surgery, but only a recommendation of a tailored approach depending on the patient's symptoms. It is well established that diverticular disease has a negative impact on quality of life (QoL). Elective laparoscopic sigmoidectomy may increase QoL. In this prospective study, we will prospectively examine QoL, patient-related outcomes and peri- and postoperative outcome of elective sigmoidectomy for chronic diverticular disease, and compare it to conservatively treated patients.
The investigators will create 4 information-video's about chemotherapy side-effects in curative breast cancer care. The communication is manipulated in the four videos. Participants will watch the video before the first chemotherapy and complete questionnaires before and after viewing the video and after chemotherapy 1,2 and 4. (The investigators cannot yet reveal the manipulation as it would influence the participants)
The estrogenic deficit characteristic of the climacteric stage is accompanied by a high incidence of health problems, such as the presence of Metabolic Syndrome risk factors that contribute to the increase of cardiovascular diseases. Objective: To determine the effect of a nursing intervention based on self-care aimed at improving the control of two metabolic syndrome risk factors (abdominal obesity and arterial hypertension) and health-related quality of life in climacteric women. Material and methods: Quasi-experimental study, non-equivalent control group design with women between 40 and 59 years old who present two risk factors of the Metabolic Syndrome (abdominal obesity and arterial hypertension) from two type C Health Centers of District 17D03 of Quito, Ecuador. Among one of the conceptual hypotheses, the researchers have Conceptual hypothesis 1: Climacteric women of the experimental group after the intervention of Nursing based on self-care improve two risk factors of MS with respect to those of the comparison group. A sample of 40 women was selected for experimental group and 40 for comparison group. Instruments and measurements: Abdominal Circumference, Blood Pressure, Menopause Rating Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Women in both groups received the usual care and those in the experimental group received a Nursing Intervention with technological support that included individual face-to-face nursing counseling, group education and physical activity sessions through a virtual platform for 12 weeks. Ethical requirements were considered. Expected results: It is expected that after the Nursing Intervention based on self-care the women of the experimental group will decrease the parameters of abdominal circumference, blood pressure and improve health-related quality of life.
