Filter by:It is known that Bisphenol-A (BPA) is the endocrine disrupting chemical that is most exposed by oral intake in daily life. Critical life periods when the sensitivity to these substances is known to be maximum; prenatal, postnatal and adolescence periods. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of plastic-free nutrition program, interactive education and BPA exposure feedback on urinary Bisphenol-A levels in adolescents with high use of packaged products.
The main goal of this single-arm pre-post intervention study is to see if an adapted mindfulness program can improve emotion regulation among youth aged 15-19 years who attend an alternative school. Participants will complete a baseline survey package using an iPad. They will then receive an adapted version of the 6-session Learning to BREATHE Program as part of a course they are taking at their school. Students will again complete a survey package within 2 weeks of completing the program. The investigator will compare baseline and post-intervention survey responses to see if the program improved emotion regulation, as well as several secondary psychosocial and behavioral outcomes.
This phase will complete the TRAC adaptation to a web app. The pilot study (R21 HD089979) effectively translated the ER content of TRAC and the same procedures will be used to translate the remaining content.
Several risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease could be prevented or treated by means of physical activity from childhood. Among the physical exercise programs for the improvement of these variables we can highlight high-intensity interval training. However, most of these studies have been carried out on overweight or obese athletes or schoolchildren and existing protocols on high intensity intervallic training are different. The main objective of the present research is to compare two high-intensity intervallic training protocols on body composition, heart rate, blood pressure, lipid profile, blood glucose, cardiovascular fitness, strength, quality of life, physical activity, enjoyment of physical activity and accident proneness in adolescents. The present investigation will be elaborated by a randomized-control trial design, with 2 experimental groups and a control group (CG). In each experimental groups a different protocol of high-intensity interval training is applied. It is assessed cardiovascular capacity and strength. Body composition is assessed. Heart rate and blood pressure were also recorded. Lipid profile and blood glucose were obtained by blood sampling. Quality of life, sedentary and physical activity lifestyle, enjoyment of physical activity and Psychoeducational factors determining accident process are assessed.
New chronic pain and opioid use are reported as prevalent among adolescents undergoing major surgery; many unanswered questions remain regarding recovery and the anticipated pain trajectory across procedures and the interaction between pain treatment, acute inflammation and new chronic pain. Broadly, the proposed study will characterize the adolescent's postoperative recovery experience, and establish the anticipated pain trajectory across a range of procedures.
Globally, suicide is ranked as the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10-24 years, and more than 75% of all deaths by suicide occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). However, the vast majority of adolescents in LMIC do not have access to mental health care, and contextually appropriate strategies for delivering evidence-based interventions for managing suicide risk are needed to expand services to these areas. In the present study, the investigators will adapt and pilot test the Suicide Safety Planning Intervention for Adolescents (SPI-A) delivered by primary care providers in Mozambique, an LMIC in southeastern Africa.
The World Health Organization (WHO, 2013) defined the 10-19 age group as "adolescent" and the 15-24 age group as "youth". Adolescence period; It is a period of rapid growth, development and maturation in terms of physical, mental, biochemical and social aspects.10-20% of children and adolescents living in the world have mental health diseases such as generalized anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorders.In adolescents, yoga is practiced as a relaxing tool to reduce stress, especially for exam anxiety.In Turkey, there are no yoga-based experimental studies to prevent anxiety, stress and depression in adolescents.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be one of the longest lasting pandemics experienced in recent times. Although the disease shows symptoms in different ways, the most effective diagnostic method known is the PCR test. This procedure is an unknown test method that many people have never had in their lifetime. Uncertainty in any subject causes stress and fear in the person. When the suspicion of a disease is added to this situation, the situation can reach even more serious dimensions. For this reason, it can be said that the PCR test can cause many problems, especially fear and pain. The most important health professional that the patient can reach before, during and after the test is the nurse. In order for the nurse to complete the test in a short time and with success, it may be necessary for the applicants to keep their fear levels under control and to support their fear management. In addition, the nurse plays an important role in the assessment and management of pain. In the literature review, no study was found on reducing the fear and pain of the adolescents who gave the PCR Test. It is also thought that breathing exercises and stress ball can be an advantageous method in reducing pain and fear, considering their easy accessibility, affordable cost and long-term use. For this reason, this study was planned to determine the effect of stress ball and breathing exercises on the management of fear and pain that may occur due to PCR testing.
This is a single-site, randomized, controlled trial. Investigators will evaluate feasibility of the Emergency Department Healthcare Education Assessment and Response for Teen Relationships (ED-HEART) intervention among adolescents age 14-19 years receiving care in the Children's Mercy emergency department.
This pilot community-partnered cluster-randomized trial will examine the feasibility and acceptability of a social network-based youth violence prevention program called Strengthening Connections for Change for youth ages 13-17 and their key adult supports.
