Filter by:Adolescent health, safety and well-being cause it to be considered as an important and priority problem in terms of public health, as it affects many parts of the society. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of the gamification technique performed with tele-nursing on the nutritional behavior and physical activity level of adolescents.
Regular physical activity is extremely important for the protection and development of physical and psychosocial health. In addition, acquiring regular physical activity habits in the early years of life allows maintaining numerous gains related to physical fitness, functional capacity and psychoemotional health into adulthood. Guided by scientific and technological innovations, focusing on sustainable development goals, the vision of Society 5.0 is based on digital innovation with artificial intelligence, the internet of things, digital technologies and big data, and is to increase the awareness of individuals and encourage individuals to take a role in improving their health status with wearable technology and mobile health applications. In the literature, only one study has been found on the acquisition of big data with wearable technologies for the promotion of physical activity in adolescents. The general aim of our project is to obtain smartwatch-based big data for adolescents, which will be done for the first time in the field of health and sports in our country, and to analyze the obtained data using both statistical methods and big data analytics and artificial learning methods, to develop Pediatric Physical Activity Tracking Platform (Pedi@ktivite) through physical activity algorithms and to reveal the effect of the developed system on the physical fitness of adolescents and the usability of the system with scientific evidence. Within the scope of the project, adolescents with chronic rheumatic disease will also be included in the sample group, and the effects of the system to be developed in adolescents with the chronic rheumatic disease will be demonstrated. Due to the results obtained, we believe that this technology-supported approach will be an example of good practice for other chronic diseases. As the first technology-supported and big data-oriented project for health and sports in adolescents, our project will fill an important gap and provide pioneering results for future projects, paving the way for providing services in the fields of health and sports with big data analytics and addressing physical inactivity.
The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between the nutritional content of the diet consumed by children and adolescents (0-18 years old) with the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and metabolic control. In this cross-sectional study, 150 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes who came to Ege University Child Health and Diseases Department, Pediatric Endocrine and Diabetes Department for regular check-ups (4 diabetes control/year) and kept food consumption records in the last 1 year will be included. Body weight and height measurements of the cases will be done by the same person in Ege University Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes BD Polyclinic. Turkish Standard Institute approved Baster brand weighing instrument with 0.1 kg intervals and height measurements will be made with Harpander brand stadiometer with 0.1 cm intervals. SD scores of body weight, height and body mass index for age Neyzi et al. It will be calculated using the reference values developed for Turkish children by Age, diabetes age, gender, height - body weight-body mass index SD score, HbA1c level, daily energy intake, percentage of energy from carbohydrate-protein-fat-saturated fat in energy, daily fiber intake amount of the cases will be recorded in the case report form. The biochemical values of the participants will be taken from the file records. The data will be entered into the statistical package program and the patients' 1) carbohydrate, protein, fat, saturated fat intake, 2) vitamin-mineral intake, and 3) fruit and vegetable consumption will be compared with the recommendations in national and international guidelines and their relationship with metabolic control will be investigated
This study is designed to evaluate the effects of a multimodal exercise program in the sprint performance and kinematics of adolescent rugby players. For this, an experimental study with an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG) is designed. During 6 weeks of the 2022-2023 preseason of rugby seven, IG will include a multimodal exercise program in their training routine. Meanwhile, CG will maintain their training routine. The study will be developed in the Sport High Performance Centre of Balearic Islands during the season of rugby seven (from August to September, 2022). All rugby athletes from under-16 and under-18 autonomic rugby teams will be invited to participate in this study throughout an email invitation from their regional rugby federation. Prior to the beginning of the study, all participants will sign the inform consent, or their legal tutors in case of minors. The Ethical Committee of the local university approved this study (278CER22) according to the Declaration of Helsinki. One week before intervention period, sociodemographic and sportive data will be registered (age, sex, body mass, height, and sport experience). Body mass and height will be evaluated with a ±100-g precision digital weight scale (Tefal, France) and a t201-t4 adult height scale (Asimed, Spain), respectively. Also, the rugby players will complete a familiarization process consisting on a standardized warm up and 3 progressive sprints (i.e. 30 m at 50%, 70% and 90% of maximal effort). All testing procedure (pre-test and post-test) will be completed at a similar daytime (between 17h and 19h) on the same natural grass field. The test procedure listed in our study will consist on two maximal 30-m sprints to obtain mechanical variables of horizontal force-velocity profile and kinematics during sprinting. Players from IG will perform a multimodal exercise program two days per week during six weeks. This program will include running technical drills, exercises for lumbopelvic stabilization and resisted sprints. This program will be supervised by two experts in this field. The investigators hypothesize that those rugby players who add the multimodal exercise program to their training routine will increase mechanical and kinematics variables of sprint performance.
Posttraumatic stress disorder in adolescence impairs neurobiological networks underlying cognitive, social and emotional skills. Neuroimaging research that seeks to identify the neural mechanisms of treatments for PTSD could lead to novel treatments, but progress has been slow using current methods. The proposed study uses an innovative approach to identify neural mechanisms of specific phases of trauma-focused therapy for youth with PTSD, allowing a new understanding of brain changes associated with the process of therapy.
The research will be carried out on students studying at public secondary schools in the city center of Amasya. First of all, the digital game addiction levels of secondary school students who are randomly divided into experimental and control groups will be determined, and then students with digital game addiction will be included in the individual motivational interview program, which will last 6 sessions. In the last stage of the research, hippotherapy will be applied to the students 1 day a week for 8 weeks. The effect of motivational interviewing and hippoterain on digital game addiction will be investigated by pre-testing at the beginning of the research and post-testing at the end.
The study was conducted to determine the effect of Roy adaptation model-based education on disease compliance and metabolic control in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 DM; It is a chronic metabolic disease that develops as a result of the destruction of pancreatic ß cells, which are responsible for insulin production. Although type 1 DM can occur at any age, the highest incidence is seen between the ages of 10-14. Especially in this age group (7-15 years), who are more social than the previous period with the emergence of diabetes symptoms, both physical restrictions and limitations in their emotional and social functionality permanently change the lives of children with diabetes. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) 2019 data, it is estimated that the patients with Type 1 diabetes in the world are 1,110,100 children/adolescents. This number is increasing each year, and it is estimated that approximately 98,200 children and adolescents under the age of 15 are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes each year. It is seen that there is an increase in the number of cases in young children in high-risk groups. Therefore, early diagnosis and initiation of treatment is a necessary step. The basic elements of type 1 diabetes treatment are; diabetes education, nutrition, exercise, insulin, blood sugar monitoring and psychosocial counseling. Recently; It is seen that the use of technology in children with diabetes has increased thanks to the opportunity to access information at any time, to choose the information according to one's own needs, to receive service when it is ready, to reduce costs in health, and to be educated at home due to limitations. Taking measures to prevent worsening of glycemic regulation and weight gain in patients with diabetes, especially in situations that cause social isolation such as pandemics, monitoring and management of patients with diabetes during the social isolation process, and enabling patients to access the information they need in a short time are of great importance in terms of diabetes tables. When the literature is examined, it is seen that there are many pages and mobile applications related to this. In this study, it is aimed to improve the self-management of children/adolescents with a mobile application that can be accessed from any device suitable for today. For this, it is aimed to create a mobile application that includes all sub-dimensions of diabetes self-management and contains content that other applications do not have.

This cluster randomized controlled trial will evaluate a community-based bicycle safety education program with and without an in-person parent training component. The investigators will recruit 180 early adolescent bicyclists (ages 9 to 12) and a parent/guardian from local neighborhood centers after school and summer programs, where the investigators have conducted preliminary studies. Randomization into the three study groups will occur at the site-level. Adolescent bicycles in all study group sites will be equipped with Pedal Portal, an innovative bicycle-mounted GPS/video system developed by the research team to objectively observe bicycling risk exposure and behaviors while bicycling. System data will be coded to measure bicycling exposure (hours, miles traveled, routes) and the types and rates of safety-relevant events (near crashes, crashes), and safety-relevant behaviors (e.g., following traffic rules, scanning for traffic at intersections). This will be the first randomized trial to use GPS and video technology to evaluate the effectiveness of a youth bicycle safety intervention in changing behavior. The control group will not receive any bicycle safety education programming. Participants in the first intervention group (Bike Club) will receive a 12-hour bicycle safety education program. Participants in the second intervention group (Bike Club Plus) will receive an enhanced version of the 12-hour bicycle safety education program which will include a parent training session on bicycling safety best practices, child development as it relates to bicycling, strategies for practice at home, and feedback on their adolescent's bicycling performance. The investigators' main hypotheses are that adolescents who receive the bicycle safety intervention will have increased safety behaviors (e.g., helmet use, hazard recognition), reduced errors (e.g., riding against traffic, swerving/wobbling), and increased knowledge, perceptions, and self-efficacy compared to the control group; and adolescents whose parent receives the parent training will have even greater improvements in study outcomes than those whose parents do not receive the training. If successful, approaches from this study could be widely implemented to improve adolescent bicycling safety.
