Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to assess efficacy of an intensive pre-surgical intervention to quit smoking in smoking patients who will be operated on implant orthopedic surgery or general and urological surgery. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Evaluate the efficacy of intensive pre surgical intervention to quit smoking compared to a brief intervention - Evaluate the implementation of this protocol. Participants will be randomized to 2 intervention groups (patients programmed for protesic implant orthopedic surgery in the first group, and general and urological surgery) and 2 control groups (stratified in the same manner as the intervention groups), and will be monitored through telematic check ups via phone calls.
This is a pilot trial to examine the feasibility and preliminary effect of a multilevel intervention 'Nudges to Quit' on smoking cessation in patients with serious mental illness who smoke in a community mental health center (CMHC). "Nudges to Quit" is a multilevel intervention to increate engagement of patient, case worker, and pharmacist with tobacco treatment. The pilot trial is to generate the needed evidence for designing a future large trial to evaluate the effect of 'Nudges to Quit' as a multilevel intervention to increase tobacco treatment and reduce tobacco use among patients with serious mental illness.
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate an evidence-based intervention to assist adolescents and young adults with current vaping to quit vaping and smoking.
The goal of this evaluation study is to evaluate the KickAsh! intervention, an intervention aiming to prevent smoking initiation in adolescents living in vulnerable socioeconomic situations. This intervention will be implemented in youth social work organisation that offer sport and/or recreational activities for these adolescents. Youth workers will act as implementers of the intervention. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the intervention, whether it does or does not produce change in the smoking initiation behaviour of adolescents (= effect evaluation). Secondly, the study aims to evaluate the implementation process to generate more understanding concerning why the intervention does or does not produces change. Therefore, it will be investigated how the intervention was implemented, what exactly was implemented, in which context the intervention was implemented... (= process evaluation) For the effect evaluation adolescents will be asked to fill in a questionaire at three time points. For the process evaluations interviews and focus groups will be organised with the adolescents and youth workers respectively. Two groups will participate to this study: one group existing of organisations where the intervention will be implemented (=intervention group), and one group where the intervention will not be implemented (= control group).
Health is a main human right and a need for every human being. However, due to some congenital or acquired reasons, individuals may be disabled and cannot participate in social life at the same level as their normally developing peers. The gradual increase in the world population, the advances in the treatment of chronic diseases and the prolongation of life expectancy at birth, along with the increase in economic, social and psychological problems and deterioration in environmental conditions show that the number of disabled individuals will increase in the future. Diseases caused by the use of tobacco and tobacco products rank first among preventable diseases in the world, and tobacco use is a very important public health problem. Nurses use various models developed as a guide in developing goals for lifestyle change in individuals and in interventions to achieve this. One of the studies they conduct based on the models is smoking cessation. It is believed that the studies to be carried out will strengthen the perceptions of individuals about protecting and improving their health and will guide the way in which the obstacles to smoking cessation can be perceived and resolved more easily. Based on this, it is thought that the smoking cessation study to be carried out by using HBM in visually impaired individuals will draw attention to unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and smoking addiction, which is one of these behaviors. The study was designed experimentally with "pretest-posttest control group". Before and after the planned smoking cessation training given based on HBM, the scores of Fagerström Nicotine Dependence Test and the smoking cessation scale according to HBM and hemoglobin and CO measurement values of the visually impaired individuals will be compared. Statistical package program will be used for coding, statistical analysis and evaluation of the data to be obtained from the study. T-test will be used in independent groups and t-test in dependent groups depending on the distribution features of the data in the statistical analysis. The normality distribution of the data will be evaluated by Wilk's, Kurtosis and Skewness coefficients. In the data distributed normally, non-parametric tests, Kruskal Wallis test or Mann-Whitney test will be used, and parametric tests, dependent and independent groups' t-test in two variables and ANOVA (analysis of variance) will be used in two or more variables.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the role of switching from cigarette smoking (CS) to tobacco heat system (THS) on the clinical outcome of closed tibia fractures from smokers' orthopedic patients. Validated and standardized assays, medical state and self-reported outcomes will be evaluated in orthopedic patients' smokers or switch from CS to using THS throughout six months compare to ex-smokers (control).
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of "nudges" to clinicians, patients, or both in increasing referral to, and engagement with, tobacco use treatment services (TUTS) for HIV patients versus usual care. This will be a four-arm pragmatic cluster randomized clinical trial. The investigators hypothesize that each of the implementation strategy arms will significantly increase TUTS referral and engagement compared to usual care and that the combination of nudges to clinicians and to patients will be the most effective.
Antioxidant qualities have been attributed to wheatgrass and tulsi formulation. Free radicals are unstable molecules created by the body during metabolism and exposure to environmental pollutants. Antioxidants are chemicals that can help stop or reduce cell damage caused by these unstable molecules. Oxidative stress, which is brought on by free radicals, has been connected to a number of health issues, including chronic inflammation, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and ageing. Wheatgrass is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and chlorophyll, which have been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Tulsi, also known as holy basil, is an herb that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries and has been found to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. Several studies have investigated the antioxidant properties of wheatgrass and tulsi formulation. For instance, a study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology in 2015 found that wheatgrass extract had significant antioxidant activity, as measured by its ability to scavenge free radicals and reduce lipid peroxidation in vitro.
This study examines the application of precision treatment intervention for smoking cessation from both the clinician perspective and patient perspective, and compares it to usual care on tobacco treatment in the primary care setting. The precision treatment intervention includes personalized tobacco treatment recommendations using the patient's clinical, genetic, and biomarker information. This approach may increase effectiveness and adherence for the patient, and increase the clinician's likelihood of prescribing.
The goal of this study is to examine different messages to motivate smokers who self-identify as an African American current smoker, between the ages of 50-80 years old to quit smoking. Participants will be asked to complete a survey and look at two messages.
