Filter by:The purpose of the Health and Energy through Active Living Every Day (HEALED) intervention, is to examine the effect of a web-based intervention on changes in device-measured physical activity (light and moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic) and sedentary behavior. The purpose of this study is intended for survivors of a cancer with a 5-year survival (at Stage I, II, and III) of at least 45% that has a strong level of evidence for association with physical inactivity according to the 2018 PA Guidelines Advisory Committee Report (breast, colon, endometrium, kidney, bladder, multiple myeloma). In line with social cognitive theory behavior change techniques, participants will be provided information and skills necessary to be more physically active and less sedentary after a cancer diagnosis. New materials will be disseminated biweekly through a website open only to participants, and include at-home exercise demonstration videos, research news, discussion boards, success stories, infographics for exercise recommendations, etc.
The purpose of the study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and initial outcomes of clinical decision support (CDS) and a Sleep Navigation program to enhance primary to specialty care management of pediatric sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
Researchers are looking to examine the impact of probiotic administration on symptoms commonly associated with depression, anxiety, stress, sleep quality, and associated emotional responses in healthy men and women.
Adolescence is a time of heightened reward sensitivity and greater impulsivity. On top of this, many teenagers experience chronic sleep deprivation and misalignment of their circadian rhythms due to biological shifts in their sleep/wake patterns paired with early school start times, which may increase the risk for substance use (SU). However, what impact circadian rhythm and sleep disruption either together or independently have on the neuronal circuitry that controls reward and cognition, or if there are interventions that might help to modify these disruptions is unknown. Project 1 (P1), specifically examines homeostatic and circadian characteristics as mechanisms linking habitual sleep patterns, reward and cognitive control (at subjective, behavioral, and circuit levels), and longitudinal substance use risk.
The objective of this study is to provide pilot data on the feasibility and effectiveness of a web-based social networking intervention designed to promote sleep early in infancy and to explore the potential for this approach to promote healthy feeding routines, eating behaviors, and weight outcomes in subsequent larger-scale intervention research. First-time parents will be recruited (n=66) and randomized to an 8-week web-based social networking sleep intervention or general baby care control group with interventions beginning at infant age 8 weeks. Parents will complete online surveys, with research questions including: 1) whether the sleep intervention leads to longer nighttime and total sleep duration and decreased night waking among infants and 2) longer infant sleep bouts and improved parent sleep duration, stress, parenting efficacy, and parenting satisfaction. We will also examine infants' routines, feeding and eating behaviors, and emotion regulation to inform the application of this approach for childhood obesity prevention. The pilot research will provide insights into intervention feasibility, effects on infant sleep, and potential impacts on feeding and eating outcomes, informing our next steps.
This project will investigate traditional sleep routines and the current sleep environment in American Indian children to develop a culturally appropriate and novel sleep intervention to increase total sleep time for families with K-3rd grade children. The outcomes of this study will provide a comprehensive understanding of a relatively unknown behavior (sleep) in American Indians, show results from a novel sleep intervention in a high risk and underserved population, and will also contribute to the research and training development of an American Indian investigator, all defined missions of NHLBI.
The Self-care for Dementia Caregivers Study is a behavioral health intervention that uses digital monitoring tools and motivational health coaching to help caregivers of persons with dementia engage in a regular routine of self-care. Participants wear an apple watch for the objective collection of sleep-wake rhythms. They receive personalized feedback on their sleep-wake rhythms via a new app. Health coaches call participants weekly, for 6 weeks to help participants meet their health/sleep goals and promote self-knowledge of regular routines. Participants will help the study team improve the design elements and content of the mobile app. The goal of this intervention is to reduce psychological distress and caregiver burden.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of back massage applied by partners on menopausal complaints, sleep quality, and marital adjustment of women in climacteric period.
In intensive care units, the sleep quality of patients decreases considerably due to reasons such as alarm sounds of some special devices, the number of healthcare professionals working in comparison to other clinics, their circulation is high, and the lights are constantly on.Studies conducted in intensive care units to facilitate the transition of patients to sleep and to improve sleep quality;has revealed that non-pharmacological applications increase sleep time and quality, reduce sleep disturbance,delirium,post-traumatic stress disorder and duration of stay in the intensive care unit.Although wearing earplugs and eye masks is a cost-effective and safe method and can improve perceived sleep quality in patients,eye masks and ear plugs are sometimes not comfortable.While the ear plugs dislocate during night sleep may cause the patients to wake up again,there are also situations such as the eye masks not being sized properly for the patients' eyes,and the part of the mask surrounding the head is thin and tense, disturbing the patient.By eliminating this situation that disturbs the patients, other solutions are needed to increase the quality of sleep without being affected by intensive care light and noise. The project was planned to determine the effect of the ergonomic sleep mask on the sleep quality and comfort of patients in surgical patients whose treatment and care continues in intensive care units.The sample of the project consists of 128 patients by performing power analysis.Patients will be divided into two groups as 64 randomized patients in the control and experimental groups by applying block randomization.While there is no application to the experimental and control groups on the first night, an ergonomic sleep mask will be worn to the experimental group,and an ear plug and eye mask will be worn to the control group.At the end of the first night and the second night, the sleep quality of the patients will be evaluated with the 'Richard Campell Sleep Scale' and their comfort levels with the 'Visual Analogue Scale'.The data of the project will be collected using the Patient Information Form prepared in accordance with the literature. In the analysis of the data,Mann-Whitney U test, t test in independent groups, one-way ANOVA test and correlation analysis will be done.
One third of men and women are not satisfied with their sleep. A non-drug countermeasure to improve sleep in insomniacs could be adapted physical activity (APA). However, research is needed because the literature is limited and the few studies are most often based on subjective data with a great methodological disparity. Within the framework of the care pathway of Dr ARON's patients, sleep doctor at the Sommeil Morphée Center of the Grande Synthe Polyclinic (59), the objective of this project is to make an APA program more reliable in order to improve sleep, to understand the underlying mechanisms and to include APA in the therapeutic management.
