Filter by:This work aims to assess cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in people with sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis undergoing rehabilitation. It is an experimental clinical study, with evaluation before and after the intervention. Included participants will be randomized and divided into a control group and an intervention group. Quality of life is examined by two questionnaires and physical fitness by specific tests, before and after the intervention. The intervention is the realization of a supervised physical exercise protocol.
Background Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women globally. Additionally, it is the most common cause of cancer mortality among women. Internationally, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women in 140 of 184 countries. Global registry surveys also demonstrate that the incidence of breast cancer will increase by 46% and affect more than 3,059,829 people by 2040. The rate of breast cancer deaths will increase by 58.3% and affect more than 356,225 women. Psychologically, it has been shown that emotional suppression experienced by some women with breast cancer is highly predictive of low quality of life and psycho-somatic morbidities during the process of treatment. Such attitude towards emotional suppression is thriving well in Arab societies where somatizing, as opposed to psychologizing, distress is prevailing proclivity. Expressive writing may provide a tool to meet such need. Taken together and given the lack of any study exploring EW effect of Quality of life in women with breast cancer. The current study aims to examine the impact of expressive writing on quality of life in a randomized controlled trial among cancer survivor in Oman. Hypothesis The primary hypothesis states that compared to writing about neutral topic, expressive writing intervention will lead to a better improvement in quality of life among breast cancer patients after two months of the intervention. Objectives To assess the efficacy of 3 sessions EWI versus Writing about neutral topic, on Quality of life of Breast Cancer Survivors at 1- and 2-month post intervention. Method This study is a multicenter, prospective, double blind, parallel RCT with a 2-month follow-up and will be carried out at Oman's comprehensive cancer care & research center and Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman. Sixty four participants will be randomized to 3 sessions EWI group or neutral topic writing group, using a fixed randomization schedule allocating participant between the two intervention arms in a 1:1 ratio.
In this randomized controlled study, it was aimed to determine the effect of acupressure on menopausal symptoms and quality of life and the relationship between menopausal symptoms and quality of life. Three different hypothesis teams have been established for the study. These; H0: There is no significant difference between the menopause rating scores of the women in the study group in which acupressure was applied and the control group without acupressure. H1: There is a significant difference between the menopause rating scores of the women in the study group in which acupressure was applied and the control group without acupressure. H0: There is no significant difference between the quality of life scores of the women in the study group in which acupressure was applied and the control group without acupressure. H1: There is a significant difference between the quality of life scores of the women in the study group in which acupressure was applied and the control group without acupressure. H0: There is no relationship between menopause rating scores and quality of life scores of women in the study group in which acupressure was applied and in the control group without acupressure. H1: There is a relationship between menopause rating scores and quality of life scores of women in the study group in which acupressure was applied and in the control group without acupressure.
The practice of a physical activity, even moderate, plays an important role in the prevention and the management of the main chronic non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis ...) as well as by improving psychological health. Several studies have shown that physical activity has a positive impact on the economy of companies via the reduction of absenteeism and the improvement of productivity. However, it seems important to individualize these recommendations in order to prescribe the best possible dose of physical activity for each individual. In this project, the investigators want to test the physical qualities of employees in order to prescribe the best possible dose of physical activity with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life.
Royal Hospital Chelsea (RHC) has provided a sheltered housing environment alongside integrated health and social care and comradeship for British Army veterans since 1692, following a decree by King Charles II to aid the "relief of veterans broken by age and war" (RHC, 2018). Today approximately 300 In-Pensioners, known globally as 'Chelsea Pensioners' live at RHC. They also have access to an on-site infirmary providing nursing or personal care for up to 68 people (CQC, 2019). RHC is in central London (UK) and comprises of several historical buildings, protected by the organisations Mission Statement to "…safeguard their historic home for the veterans of tomorrow". In-Pensioner's must have served in the British Army as a non-commissioned officer (or have served at least 12 years 'in the ranks' prior to becoming a commissioned officer), be aged 65 or over, be free of any financial obligations to dependents, and at the time of admission be able to live independently. Traditionally a male-only residence, RHC welcomed its first female Army veteran in 2009. There is an absence of evidence to support the impact of care delivery and the Chelsea Pensioner experience, with the only evidence being RHC Annual and Care Quality Commission (CQC) reports which focus on strategic and operational matters rather than the impact of the wider social care or environment. This lack of evidence presents a unique opportunity to evaluate RHC's current service provision, inform future direction and address the hiatus in evidence-based research to quantify the impact of its model of care.
A project aiming to promote evidence based practice when treating thumb basal joint (CMC I) arthritis. We will aim to: 1) provide the minimal clinical difference of two general outcome instruments, 2) evaluate the association between pre-operative anxiety and/or depression and outcomes following trapeziectomy, 3) evaluate the effect of trapziectomy on carpal cinematics, 4) determine the cost-utility-ratio of trapeziectomy
The study is a community interventional study by using an integrated back pain module (IBPM). The purpose of this study is to find out if the module training has any benefit on Low Back pain among ambulance drivers. The effectiveness of the module is determined by baseline quality of life results compared with after the intervention program completed.
This study's aim was to determine the effect of music therapy on symptoms and functions in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).

Individuals with cancer must overcome multiple, ongoing challenges ("self-advocate") related to their cancer experience to receive patient-centered care. Women with metastatic cancer often face significant challenges managing their quality of life concerns and cancer- and treatment-related symptoms. If they do not self-advocate to manage these concerns, they risk having poor quality of life, high symptom burden, and care that is not patient-centered. Serious games (video games that teach) are effective health interventions that allow users to vicariously engage in situations reflecting their personal experiences, receive meaningful information, and learn personally relevant skills that they can apply in real life. The goal of the current study is to test the efficacy of a novel intervention using a serious game platform to teach self-advocacy skills to women with advanced cancer. The Strong Together intervention consists of a multi-session, interactive serious game application with tailored self-advocacy goal-setting and training. The serious game is based on a self-advocacy conceptual framework and applies behavior change theories and serious game mechanisms to promote skill development and implementation. The game works by immersing users in the experiences of characters who are women with advanced cancer; requiring users to make decisions about how the characters self-advocate; demonstrating the positive and negative consequences of self-advocating or not, respectively; and providing multiple, individualized feedback mechanisms and game features to enforce self-advocacy skill acquisition and transference to real life.
