Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether a physical activity tracking program called FitEx would be useful to endometrial cancer survivors. Each interested endometrial cancer survivor will recruit 1 to 5 additional friends/family members to participate in the intervention with them, forming a team. Each team will be randomized to FitExEC (control group) that receives FitEx for endometrial cancer survivors, or FitExEC+yoga (experimental group) that receives FitEx for endometrial cancer survivors plus yoga cueing. FitExEC is based on FitEx, a program used to encourage adults to improve their fruit and vegetable intake while increasing their physical activity. FitEx works by having participants join a team with their friends and loved ones, so they can support one another in meeting their goals. In this study, teams of endometrial cancer survivors/support members will receive watches that track how much they walk. Each day, participants record how much exercise, how many fruits, and how many vegetables they've eaten that day for a total of 8 weeks. Participants will be encouraged to attend a virtual session 15 minutes per week that will focus on 1-mile worth of exercise points (all control) or 15 minutes of yoga (all experimental) followed by 15 minutes of support (endometrial cancer survivors only [control and experimental survivors in different groups]). Participation in the study lasts roughly 10 weeks, and participants will be followed for 6 months afterward. The investigators think that FitEx may help people with endometrial cancer improve their daily physical activity and slowly improve their health and quality of life. The investigators hypothesize this intervention is feasible and acceptable to Carilion Clinic endometrial cancer survivors.
The Women Lift Safely! Intervention study aims to increase safe carrying behavior to reduce health risks of heavy lifting in a rural area of Nepal (i.e. reducing weight and using safe lifting techniques). The study's specific aims are to: 1) Test whether a psychological intervention that promotes self-efficacy can promote women's use of safe carrying behavior effectively compared to an information only control condition. (2) Test whether including a social partner in the intervention is more effective than an individual psychological intervention.
Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of motivational interview on daily living activities on physical adaptation and quality of life in elderly people who underwent total knee replacement.it was aimed to examine the effect of motivational interview on daily living activities on physical adaptation and quality of life in elderly people who underwent total knee replacement. Design: The research was planned as a pretest, posttest, randomized controlled study in order to determine the effect of the motivational interviews on the life quality and physical activity of old patients. H1: After total knee replacement, the target for daily living activities is higher than the patients who applied the hand and those who did not. H2: Patients with targeted daily living activities with total knee replacement begin to get used to it and begin earlier than those who do not.
This personalized trial will evaluate the effects of five behavioral change techniques (BCTs) described in Habit Formation Theory (Goal setting, Action Planning, Self-Monitoring, Behavioral Practice/Rehearsal and Habit Formation) delivered by text message to enhance low-intensity walking by 2,000 more steps per day/5 days per week in healthy Northwell employees aged 45-75 years old.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of multimodal interventions based on Integrative Nursing (IN) principles on blood pressure, stress, and hypertensive treatment compliance levels in individuals living in the community and with uncontrolled hypertension. Design: This is a single-center, 1:1 randomized, single-blind, parallel, active comparator trial. Method: Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) Statement 2013 checklist is used in this study. In the study, the group in which Integrative Nursing Principles-Based Multimodal Interventions were applied (UHTINuM) was taken as the experimental (n: 24), the group in which health recommendations were given as the active comparator group (n: 24). The sample size calculated according to the reference study data is 62. However, this target number could not be reached due to the COVID-19 pandemic conditions. This study was carried out with adult individuals aged 50-65 in Hayat Park, which is located within the borders of Konyaaltı District of Antalya province. Multimodal interventions including 12-week meditation and breathing techniques, yoga, hypertension treatment compliance training, and home blood pressure measurement training were applied to the UHTINuM group. The control group was directed to a specialist doctor as an intervention, information notes for hypertensive individuals and standard brochures prepared by the Ministry of Health were given. The primary results of the study were measured using an aneroid and automatic blood pressure device (blood pressure measurement), Hill Bone Hypertension Treatment Adherence Scale, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). This will be the first study to evaluate the effect of multimodal interventions based on integrative nursing principles in uncontrolled hypertensives. If the hypotheses of the study are reached, it is expected that the planned intervention protocol will be used by other researchers and thus become widespread in the literature. Also, the results will help contribute to the provision of care in terms of IN.
HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (or PrEP) is an effective additional preventative measure for reducing the risk of HIV transmission. To address low levels of uptake, there is a need for public health interventions to increase target populations' awareness and willingness for adopting PrEP. One potential solution may be to incorporate a network intervention, which utilizes the connections between individuals to facilitate health behavior. This project examines how online networks can influence PrEP adoption intentions among gay and bisexual men through a mobile app-based experiment. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned into a social support condition or information-only control. Both conditions will involve an information component consisting messages aimed to address awareness, knowledge, and perceived barriers of PrEP adoption. However, those in the social support condition will also have an online chatting tool where they can discuss topics surrounding PrEP. The primary objective of this study is to test the effectiveness of the mobile app intervention in increasing participants' knowledge/attitudes/intentions to initiate PrEP. The secondary objective of this study is to determine the mechanism of the intervention through mediation analyses.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of a Noom Breast Cancer Weight Loss Program on weight loss outcomes, quality of life, and physical activity. Also, to qualitatively determine acceptability of this novel program among breast cancer survivors with overweight or obesity.
To evaluate the effect of one-on-one coaching in the Noom Healthy Weight Program, a digital behavior change, weight loss intervention, compared to the same program with no coaching, as well as influential factors.
Black adolescents who are pregnant represent a high-risk and understudied perinatal population in health research. Adolescent pregnancy (<20 years) is disproportionately prevalent among Blacks compared with Whites and is a prominent risk factor for obesity. Fortunately, metabolic consequences of increasing physical activity coupled with minimal sedentary time can mitigate biological imperils and behavioral interventions targeting perinatal populations have demonstrated efficacy for this approach. Intervention studies to promote physical activity and reduce sedentarism among Black, perinatal adolescents in disadvantaged, rural settings may be a promising strategy to prevent obesity and reduce disparities. In the proposed study, investigators will assess the feasibility and acceptability of #BabyLetsMove, a mobile health intervention targeting three behavioral goals: (1) limit TV time to less than 2 hours a day (sedentary behavior); (2) take 10,000 steps or more per day (physical activity); and (3) do 20 minutes or more of structured activity like prenatal yoga or dance videos per day (exercise). In the #BabyLetsMove feasibility trial investigators aim to conduct a single-arm, 4-week pilot with 20 Black adolescents (15- to 19-years) enrolled in Mississippi's Supplemental Nutritional Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) to test the intervention's feasibility and acceptability. Participants will receive one text message per day for 4-weeks targeting behavior change strategies and two health coaching sessions via mobile phone; an introduction session in week one and a problem-solving session in week three. Investigators will also use qualitative interviewing with additional adolescents (n=20) to solicit user feedback regarding the acceptability of intervention content and materials. Finally, in preparation for a pilot study using an effectiveness-implementation hybrid study design, investigators will conduct a pre-implementation evaluation using quantitative surveying (n=6 surveys) with WIC providers (n=60) to better under the culture and climate of WIC. Investigators hypothesize the #BabyLetsMove intervention will be acceptable to adolescents and a future pilot randomized controlled trial will be feasible. Investigators also anticipate identifying modifiable barriers and facilitators to implementing the intervention through WIC, which will help to design an implementation strategy with a high likelihood for uptake by WIC.
The aim of this study is to compare brain changes in individuals with overweight or obesity enrolled in either the Noom Healthy Weight program or a matched control. The study objectives (primary and secondary) are to measure brain change reported as ERP and EEG data over a 16-week timeframe. Additionally, we will explore changes in the default mode network (resting-state asymmetry in EEG measurements), changes in executive functioning, quality of life, mood, and salivary markers as they relate to EEG data.
