The world population is ageing rapidly as a result of low fertility and mortality rates and increasing life expectancies. Old age people (age 60 years and above) shared 962 million or 13% of the global population in 2017 and expected to be two billion by 2050. As individuals grow old, their dietary pattern changes and the risk of malnutrition estimated between 11.8% to 27% in the community elderly people. Ageing and nutrition are by far the number-one driver of the global burden of disease: every country is facing. Early assessment and management of malnutrition among old age people can minimize the negative consequences, extending to better health status and quality of life. Nutrition counselling is one of the first line of nutritional therapy. However, malnutrition in old age people remains under-detected, under-treated and under resourced, and is often overlooked in low-income countries like Ethiopia. Furthermore, nutritional interventions targeted to old age people are lacking in the country. Therefore, this study is intended to estimate the effects of nutrition counselling on old age people's nutritional status and quality of life in Bahir Dar City, Northwestern Ethiopia
In the past few years, research has provided evidence for a possibility of dampening immune system by one's will after undergoing a specific training program. Aim of this study was to verity the efficacy in affecting both mind and body by assessing psoriasis activity and psychological functioning. Among the members of both of the groups intensity of skin lesions and pruritus were assessed, consultation regarding treatment took place and multiple questionnaires regarding sleep quality, mindfulness and depressive symptoms were distributed. Blood samples were collected to asses intensity of inflammation, including interleukins.
In the current study, the researchers propose to develop and pilot test a Bharatanatyam (i.e. Indian classical dance) program called Mindful Kala with the hopes of decreasing stress and increasing psychosocial well-being, mindfulness, cultural competence, and connectedness amongst a group of college students. The investigators hope that this program can help students cultivate well-being during the challenging and stressful time of COVID-19.
The aim of the present prospective, comparative study was to compare the quality of life (QoL) of patients after colorectal surgery to the QoL of their spouses. The study included patients who underwent curative surgery for colorectal carcinoma (n = 100; abdominoperineal excision [n = 33], low anterior resection [n = 33], left hemicolectomy [n = 34]) and their spouses (n = 100). The patients and spouses completed the Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) and the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule II (WHODAS-II) preoperatively and at postoperative months 15 to 18. The QoL of patients and that of their spouses changed following surgery for colorectal cancer. These changes were more significant among male patients' spouses.
A study to asses the feasibility of physicians using a wearable brain sensing wellness device during a time of increased work load, patient volume and stressors to assess the association between duration of active state and calm state as measured by the wearable brain sensing wellness device, and quality of life (QOL), subjective stress, sleep and resilience.
Postpartum depression and poor quality of life during postpartum were an vital issue in recent years. Infant's health condition was thought to be a possible reasons related mother's postpartum quality of life, and functional gastrointestinal disorders such as infantile colic and regurgitation were common problem during infant period. Previous study revealed that probiotics may improve the infant's discomfort caused by functional gastrointestinal disorders. Thus, this study aimed to investigate whether probiotics use in neonate and infant improve their mother's life quality?
This study is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled study. The aim of this study is to compare survival rates and to observe quality of life and nutritional status according to follow-up period in patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for stage 2 or 3 gastric cancer.
This study is a prospective and effective research study. The aim is to assess the difference in the quality of life of the family members of patients with colorectal cancer after application of follow-up disease management using mobile network terminals and routine clinical treatment follow-up management. The hypothesis is that the application of mobile-based disease management system significantly improves the quality of life of the patients' family members, thereby improving the quality of life of the patients' families. Approximately 100 families of colorectal cancer patients who had been diagnosed as high-risk stage II or stage III and required adjuvant chemotherapy XELOX regimen within 6 months after initial diagnosis were randomly assigned to the control and study groups at a 1: 1 ratio, with approximately 50 cases in the control group and about 50 patients in the study group. The reason for choosing these tumors is because the patients with these tumors will present a series of clinical symptoms during the treatment, which requires family members to take care of them. All patient and their family demographics, questionnaires on quality of life of patient's family, adverse events and other information will be collected. The study uses a network-centric randomization system. In the randomization process, stratified randomization will be carried out according to the education level of the patient's family members (junior college degree or above vs. below college degree). The family members of the patients participating in the study will be randomly assigned to the tumor patient management platform or clinical routine treatment follow-up group. Family members of all patients will be followed up to 2 months after randomization, or withdrew from the study (with the preceding events as the end point). Unless the patient's family member withdraws from the study, lost to follow-up, or the study is terminated, the patient is considered to be in the study. Family members of patients who are randomly assigned to the full management platform need to participate in a 60 minutes concentrated training session for 27 days, taught by experts online. The content of the lectures includes medical treatment guidelines, pain relief, family rehabilitation, family communication, family roles, early screening prevention, Medical insurance and other aspects. The contents of the online courses are: 1) Doctors are also mortal; 2) New medicines and new therapies; 3) Alternative therapies; 4) Don't panic during the operation; 5) Pain relief; 6) Side effects of treatment; 8) About the truth; 9) New topics; 10) Anti-cancer cost-effectiveness; 11) Medical insurance; 12) Commercial medical insurance; 13) Exercise and rehabilitation; 14) Nutrition and Foods to increase leukocytes level ; 15) Long-term persistence; 16) Acceptance Change; 17) Two new roles; 18) Future expectation.
