Filter by:This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label study including patients with recurrent, platinum-sensitive, ovarian, peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer. The main scope of the trial is to evaluate QoL during chemotherapy comparing trabectedin/PLD with other standard platinum-based chemotherapy in platinum-sensitive disease.
The aim of the study is to examine the potentials of involving patients with metastatic melanoma in their own care planning through systematic use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROM). Furthermore, to examine the outcome of health-related quality of life, self-efficacy and impact on the patient-physician interaction. Patients (N=282) will be included from three highly specialized hospitals in Denmark. At one hospital patients will complete PROM before each consultation during a year (intervention group). At the two other hospitals patients will not complete PROM (control group). In addition to baseline, measurements will take place after three, six and 12 months. The project is organized and executed with patient involvement in the research process.
Most individuals who have survived an acquired brain injury (ABI) present consequences affecting the sensorimotor, cognitive, affective or behavioural components. The conditions can vary from mild to extreme. The consequences of an ABI may have a considerable impact on their functioning, and secondary conditions like depression or sedentary behaviours, so they suffer changes in their Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). The purpose of this project is to determine the effect of a physical activity group program on HRQoL. As well as to identify factors that facilitate or act as a barrier to practice physical activity.
- To compare between modified strength training program and aerobic exercises on quality of life on children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. - To compare between modified strength training program and aerobic exercises on functional capacity on children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Meals-on wheels may play a major role in contributing to better nourishment and quality of life in older people, thus delaying costly hospitalisation. Still, dwelling, old adults who receive meals-on-wheels are a population at risk of undernutrition leading to a decreased quality of life. Hypothesis Offering nutritious ELDORADO meals as meals-on-wheels to nursing home residents in 3 months is an effective way to increase quality of life. Aim To improve quality of life and functional abilities in nursing home residents by offering nutritious ELDORADO meals.
Studies show a high number of medical students suffering from mental health problems. Although there are several studies investigating how these problems could impact students' life and performance, few studies have investigated interventions to minimize this distress. One of these interventions is the mindfulness meditation, that has already been extensively studied in the scientific literature showing promising results. Nevertheless, there are very few studies which investigated how mindfulness could be implemented as a mandatory course. The present study aims to investigate (1) how students exposed to mindfulness differ from students not exposed to this technique concerning their mental health and quality of life in a short and long term period. This is an intervention protocol using a randomized controlled clinical trial with cross-over, in order to compare if the implementation of mindfulness for first year medical students will improve their mental health and quality of life in the short term (3 months). The intervention group (group 1) will be exposed to mindfulness in the beginning of the medical course and will be compared to a control group (group 2), not exposed to mindfulness (exposed to theoretical classes) for 3 months. After that, the intervention group (group 1) will receive theoretical classes and the control group (group 2) will be exposed to the mindfulness techniques for 3 months (cross-over). Therefore, both groups will be exposed to mindfulness in the first year of undergraduation, however in different moments of the course. Then, these first year medical students (groups 1 and 2) will be compared to another class (group 3), which didn't have this mindfulness mandatory course in their formation. They will be compared after 6 months, 12 and 24 months of intervention (long-term effect).
The purpose of this study is to test an educational program with telephone follow-up to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL), treatment adherence, and reduce anxiety and depression symptoms in patients who are starting oral anticoagulants (OA).
Approximately half of the variation in the presentation and disease status of patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is secondary to non-genetic variables.[1] These include household income, compliance with therapy, second hand smoke exposure and possibly exercise (although exercise has less evidence to support its influence on disease status). Recently increased attention has been focused on the role of exercise and quality of life for patients with CF. This study will evaluate the role of exercise in relation to the patient's perception of their quality of life. The primary outcome will be the overall change in the patient's Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire - Revised (CFQ-R) over a one year period during which the participants are encouraged to exercise and use a personal fitness device to track their exercise. This is a prospective single group non-blinded study. Participants will be asked to wear a personal fitness device for 11-13 months. The change in CFQ-R score is the primary outcome and other secondary outcomes will include; (1) exacerbations of cystic fibrosis (through use of antibiotics), (2) change in subject's FEV1, (3) inpatient admission rates, (4) change in BMI and (5) change in 6 minute walk test. The study will take place at the Adult CF Clinic on the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center campus.
The Resuscitation Outcomes in the Netherlands - study assesses one-year survival and quality of life after In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest(IHCA). It's design is a multicenter prospective observational cohort study which will include all patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for IHCA in 2017. Current literature describes poor survival after IHCA and no risk stratification tool for long-term outcome is available. Furthermore no such study has ever been performed in the Netherlands. The investigators aim to gain further insight in this major adverse event.
The physical, emotional, economic and social damage of stress in the police corporation indicates an urgent call for preventive programs to approach stress reduction, burnout symptoms and promotion of quality of life and well-being. The aim of the POLICE study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a Mindfulness-based intervention (MBI), compare to a waiting list (WL), in promoting quality of life and mental health in police officers.
