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.
It has been reported that excessive use of smartphones increases the stress on the cervical spine, and changes in cervical curvature and pain in the muscles around the neck are associated with the increase in stress. Studies have reported that smartphone users with addictions have neck pain (68%), upper back pain (62%), right shoulder pain (52%), left shoulder pain (46%), and right hand pain (46%). As a result of our study, the frequency of smartphone addiction and temporomandibular joint dysfunction and related factors in individuals with nonspecific neck pain were examined and the results we obtained will contribute to the literature.
Addiction care is "a la carte treatment", adapted to the motivation and time constrains of users. Thus, various types of psychotherapeutic follow-up can be considered, different addictolytic medications or opioid maintenance therapies can be offered during treatment and hospitalization must be adaptable. In liver transplantation (LT), sustained alcohol relapse is a critical issue because it increases medium and long-term morbidity and mortality. In recent years, the issue of severe acute alcoholic hepatitis as an indication for LT has necessitated increased focus on appropriate alcohol monitoring around liver transplantation. Previously, alcohol consumption in pre- and post-LT period was mainly self-reported. More recently, the biological markers of excessive alcohol consumption have been validated in liver disease and can play a role in liver transplant recipients follow-up. The investigator hypothesize that standardized targeted addiction monitoring of LT patients decreases the rates of sustained alcohol relapse one year post liver transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between smartphone addiction and back pain, function, and lumbar stabilizer cross-sectional area and thickness compared with non-addicted teenagers.
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and Eating Disorders (ED) are severe and persistent disturbances that are associated with significant harm. These two disorders have many clinical similarities, including craving and behavioral loss of control. Recently, craving for food has been described in newly abstinent patients with SUD. the aim of the study is to verify the hypothesis of addiction transfer based on common neurobiological mechanisms between substance craving and food craving, that postulates that food craving would correspond to an attempt to regulate substance craving (or vice versa).
This study aims to develop and test an intervention to enhance the addiction service continuum with the joint effort of commune health workers and family members of people who use drugs in Vietnam.
Background and aim: The use of smartphones, which has reached the level of addiction causes some physical and psychological health problems. The aim was to examine the musculoskeletal disorders of the neck and upper extremities of mobile phone addiction in a population of young adults. Methods: The study is a cross sectional research conducted on students of a university in İstanbul between December 2018-October 2020. The level of addiction was assessed with the Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Form (SAS-SF). The posture of participants was evaluated by New York Posture Rating Chart (NYPRC), mostly usage smartphone posture, forward head and myofascial trigger points were questioned according to Simon and Travel criteria. Mann-Whitney U test Pearson's chi-squared test were used for analyzing the data.
"In France and abroad, patient involvement is increasingly encouraged through the development of experiences involving patients in their care or that of their peers. The Association of PEs in Addictology (APEA) and the Addictology Department of the Bichat Hospital (APHP- Nord, University of Paris) have established a partnership in which PEs volunteer to work with patients throughout the course of their care. To date, no study has evaluated the impact of the PE program in addictology. A preliminary study within the department and the APEA is needed to evaluate the benefits to patients and caregivers, the feasibility and the cost in terms of staff time of implementing the PE program. The main objective of the project is to describe the care pathways of patients through their interactions with the PEs and the overall addiction care system, over a period of one year, within the Psychiatry-Addictology Department of the Bichat Hospital and then in the outpatient setting. The secondary objectives are to characterize and describe the patients' profiles according to these pathways; as well as to describe the contribution of EPs in the process of coordinating the care of these patients (interaction between patients - EPs - health professionals). This is a non-interventional monocentric cohort study in the Psychiatry-Addictology Department of the Bichat Hospital. In practice, data concerning interactions between patients and EPs and caregivers and EPs will be collected by EPs directly on an eCRF after each contact, for 12 months from inclusion. Patients will be followed during their care pathway for a total of one year, by two telephone assessments at 3 months and 6 months of hospital discharge. A final visit will be made 12 months after hospital discharge by face-to-face interview. Participation will end at the time of the debriefing interview, one year after inclusion. Modeling the interactions between patients and EPs, and between caregivers and EPs during a course of care in addictology, will lead to a better knowledge of the EP system and the place of EPs in the trajectories of addictology care. The effectiveness of the PE system can thus be recognized in the management of addictions, in complementarity with the caregivers. The driving factors for implementation will be identified in order to improve the dissemination of the PE system to other centers."
The objective of this R01 application is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of the Be Smoke Free, telephone-based, guided imagery (GI) intervention (IC) for smoking cessation compared to active behavioral control (CC). The study will recruit 1,200 diverse smokers from three states, Arizona, New York, and West Virginia to increase generalizability. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the IC or CC delivered by telephone by University of Arizona study coaches and will be assessed at 3- and 6-months post-enrollment by study staff. The primary outcome is biochemically verified 7-day point prevalence abstinence at 6 months. This innovative and rigorously designed project conducted by an experienced team has the potential to improve public health through the delivery of an innovative integrative GI intervention via telephone.
