Filter by:This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) testing the effects of a mindfulness-based intervention delivered to justice-involved youth on probation via smartphone app on youths' emotion regulation and HIV/sexually transmitted infection (STI) risk-taking behaviors (i.e., alcohol use, cannabis use, sexual behaviors, and aggressive behaviors).
Information, education and communication concerning sexual health are essential for enable to do informed and responsible decisions about it. In France, education for sexuality in schools still remains unequal and is considered as unsuited to the realities of young people. This observation led to the development of a national sexual health strategy. One of the challenges is to promote and enhance the implementation of interdisciplinary sexuality education. Midwives are and should be involved in the issue of sexuality.
Robotic-assisted hysterectomy is an alternative to laparoscopic surgery as part of a minimal invasive regimen. Several treatment strategies are followed to improve the overall outcome and minimize surgical stress. Glucocorticoids provide significant analgesic and antiemetic effects but its role in a fast-track, multi-modal setting is not settled when discharge is planned within 24-36 hours. This study will evaluate in a randomized trial the effect of a single dose of 24 mg dexamethasone on women undergoing robotic-assisted hysterectomy with regard to surgical stress measured by c-reactive protein as primary outcome and, further, other stress markers like white blood cells, Il-6, cortisol, and creatinine kinase. The postoperative recovery will be registered in validated charts and questionnaires for pain and analgesic use, quality of recovery, incontinence, sexual and work life. Furthermore, in a sub-analysis, transcriptional profiling will be applied to explore, which parts of the innate and cellular immune system is activated to explore the mechanisms of surgical stress response. The hypothesis is that women undergoing robotic hysterectomy would benefit from peroperative glucocorticoid treatment on important life qualities like pain, fatigue, freedom of medications and resuming work and sexual activities. Further, future adjuvant peroperative regimens may be able to target the stress response in a more appropriate way
Achieving the correct quantity and quality of sleep is essential for the health and recovery processes of the athlete; night rest is often negatively influenced by many variables, including: high training loads, long-range trips, evening competitions, and / or high levels of anxiety and stress. High training loads can therefore have negative influences both on sleep but also on the risk of injury in athletes. Understanding and studying, in different sports, how sexual / masturbatory activity can influence sleep has primary importance for athletic and medical staff of athletes with the ultimate aim of preserving sports performance and reducing the risk of injuries. The primary objective of this experimentation is to explore the perceived relationship between sexual activity (or masturbation), sleep quality and sleep latency in a population of athletes.
This study features a 2-arm cluster randomized controlled trial with approximately 300 young black men who have sex with men (YBMSM) to assess the effectiveness of the 3T mobile app. To be eligible participants will be required to identify as male; Black, African-American, or biracial Black/African American; age 14-17 at baseline; self-identify as gay, bisexual, fluid, or sexually attracted to men; own a smartphone, and reside in any state in the United States. Those in the treatment arm will be provided with the 3T app, to be downloaded to their own device, and asked to use it during a three month period. Those in the control arm will be asked to download a general health app and use it during the same three month period. Participants will complete brief online surveys at baseline and at 3- and 6-months following the conclusion of the app-use period to assess effectiveness in changing sexual risk behaviors and communication and condom use behaviors and attitudes.
N/E is a community-based participatory research (CBPR) multi-level, multi-component sexual and reproductive health (SRH) intervention, constructed on Ecological Systems Theory. N/E is based on Fort Peck tribal members' desire to implement a holistic SRH intervention for AI youth. N/E includes: 1) A school-based SRH curriculum called Native Stand, designed to address individual-level factors that lead to sexual risk behaviors; 2) a family-level curriculum called Native Voices, tailored to increase communication between adult family members and youth about SRH topics; 3) a cultural mentoring component at the community level that pairs AI youth with adults and elders to discuss traditional AI beliefs and practices about SRH; and 4) a mobilizing strategy to activate a multi-sectoral network of youth-servicing organizations at the systems level in Fort Peck to coordinate SRH services for AI youth. The overarching aim of this proposal is to refine, tailor, and finalize the components of N/E and evaluate its efficacy. We will use a cluster-randomized stepped-wedge design (SWD), in which 5 schools that AI youth from Fort Peck attend are the clusters to be randomized into the intervention 1 at a time, with all schools eventually being randomized to the intervention. The 5 schools are located in separate communities, mitigating the potential for cross-contamination. N/E is a 5-year study involving 456 14- to 18-year-old AI youth.
The WHO defines sexual health as a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being, related to sexuality, not only the absence of illness, dysfunction or disability. To acquire and maintain adequate sexual health, the sexual rights of all people must be respected, protected and fully exercised. People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) present difficulties in the development of social interaction skills, among other problems that directly affect their sexual health. The consolidated prejudices and social myths related to the sexual affectivity of people with ASD, and in general to people with intellectual diversity, have meant that they do not pay any attention to the sexual health of this group in the assessment of their needs. Main objectives: to understand the experience lived by young people with ASD and their caregivers in relation to the affective needs during adolescence and to know the cognitive and behavioral expression of the affective dimension of adolescents with ASD. Mixed simultaneous design: qualitative based on the phenomenological paradigm, in order to establish the perceived needs of young adults with ASD, their families and the professionals who attend them, with the realization of focus groups and in-depth interviews. The second quantitative part will be developed in adolescents (12-18 years) and their families, evaluating the habitual behaviors and difficulties of Interaction in the affective expression, by means of questionnaires and self-administered scales. It will be necessary to sign the Informed Consent by all the participants, with the specific acceptance of the project by the CEIC of the investigator's center.
To determine the prevalence of sexual problems particularly premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction among men working in factories of Dongguan city, using the self-rating scales like International Index of Erectile Function, and to investigate the characteristics or risk factors associated with these sexual problems in floating population through regression analysis.
