Filter by:Recruitment is carried out directly at the geriatric unit of the CIMIEZ University Hospital Center by geriatric doctors during day consultation or in short stay unit. The doctor wil select carer -patient couples more likely to take part in the study. The investigator will give them an informative leaflet and they will have to sign the consent form. A diagnosis is made by the investigator. The patient will first have to undergo a neurocognitive assessment carried out at the Cimiez Hospital (test for the evaluation of a cognitive deficit) by a psychologist. The non-drug approaches presented will be carried out directly at the participant's home with the help of the carer for therapeutic purposes. The therapeutic objectives and the choice of approaches are specified within the Personalised Accompaniment Project (PAP). The carer, if he or she wishes, participates in the sessions in order to reproduce the behaviours implemented by the psychologist. Different workshops will be offered : Cooking, Art Therapy, Games, Multi-sensory, Soft Gymnastic, Relaxation, Music and Reminisence. Patients will received three visits per week during six months. The carer will receive one visit per week for six months.
The prevalence of behavioral disorders is high in patients living in an institutional environment or hospitalized in a long-term care unit. The consequences of these symptoms are not negligible with a faster cognitive decline and a significant impact on the life of the institution and of other patients when the disorders are pervasive and too difficult to manage for the healthcare teams. Despite the daily attention paid to these disorders and their causes, especially the environmental ones, the teams are sometimes helpless, the teams are sometimes helpless today to fight against these symptoms, and their management thus constitutes a real challenge. Non-drug interventions targeting this problem often require additional training, architectural installations (Snoezelen space) and / or are moderately effective. In order to offer a solution that can be used by everyone, that is transportable and based on new technologies, the TOVERTAFEL device was created. These are interactive games projected onto a table using a ceiling projector. The light animations invite people to "play with the light" using arm or hand movements. These games stimulate residents' physical activity and encourage interactions between residents and with caregivers. In this study, it is a question of evaluating the effectiveness of the TOVERTAFEL device on the frequent behavioral symptoms in dementia (agitation, ambulation, apathy, anxiety), the quality of life of the patients, as well as on psychotropic treatments.
This trial studies how well sleep and physical activity interventions work in increasing the physical activity of overweight or obese and sedentary African Americans. Sleep and physical activity interventions may help to increase physical activity among overweight and obese African American adults who do not get enough exercise.
A mixed methods randomized control trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of Pathways Triple P with child welfare involved families compared to treatment as usual. Outcomes tested included parenting behaviors and attitudes, and child behavior problems. 144 families were recruited into the study. Data was collected at 4 time points (baseline, 4 months, 9 months, and 18 months). Over 70% were retained from baseline to 18 months.
