Filter by:This will be a multicenter prospective descriptive case series study following a cohort. The micropigmentation/tattoo procedure will be carried out following the protocol established in each center (see annex x). The present investigation only involves measuring the impact that this technique has on the patients by collecting data in digital format before and after the CAP micropigmentation/tattoo that motivated their visit to the clinical service. CAP micropigmentation/tattooing is usually performed between 6 and 12 months after the breast reconstructive surgery has been completed, sufficient time for healing to complete and the breast to stabilize, although it can be performed from 2 months after the intervention. Nurses are responsible for performing micropigmentation/tattooing of the areola and nipple in mastectomized women.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a nurse-led psychoeducational sexual health intervention for young women breast cancer survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the feasibility of this intervention in an online, private setting? 2. What is the effect of this intervention on reducing menopausal symptoms, improving sexual functioning, and enhancing body image? Participants will participate in a nurse-led psychoeducational intervention for 8 sessions lasting approximately an hour each over the course of 8 - 10 weeks. Each participant will complete survey items at the beginning, end, and six-weeks after the last session. Participants will be compensated up to $150 in gift cards as a thank-you for their time.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of nutrition education on nutritional literacy, nutritional status, eating habits and eating behavior in high school students. The research will be conducted in six high schools, three of which are intervention schools and three of which are control schools It is planned that a total of 1000 students will be included in the study from the intervention school and 1000 students from the control school. At the beginning of the study (June 2022), an introductory form (sociodemographic characteristics, body image (Stunkart scale), dietary habits, knowledge about weight status) was applied to all students. Adolescent Nutrition Literacy Scale (ANLS), Instrument of Nutrition Literacy, Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KID-MED), Eating Attitudes Test 26 (EAT-26), International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ) were applied, anthropometric measurements and three-day food consumption records were taken. During the study, nutrition initiatives consisting of 8 modules will be made to the intervention schools. Control schools will not be interfered with during this period.At the end of the study, the procedures applied at the beginning will be repeated.
This study tests a single-session intervention (SSI) targeting risk factors for depression and eating disorders among sexual and gender minority (SGM) adolescents. Youth ages 13-17 who identify as sexual or gender minorities will be randomized to the intervention condition (Project Body Neutrality SSI) or a control (supportive therapy SSI). Participants will complete questionnaires before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and 3-months after completing the intervention so that the study team can investigate if Project Body Neutrality leads to reductions in depression and eating disorder symptoms compared to the control.
The goal of this cross-sectional study is to investigate the influencing factors of body image in women of reproductive age. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is there a connection between physical activity, body mass index and body image? - Is there a connection between body image, premenstrual syndrome and sleep quality? Participants will fill out a complex online questionnaire.
The goal of this 4-arm randomized controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of two positive body image media micro interventions (a tv show and a music video) in improving body image related constructs. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Relative to time-matched active controls, are the two positive body image media micro-interventions effective in yielding immediate improvements in children's body functionality appreciation and body appreciation and in reducing anti-fat attitudes? 2. Are the two positive body image media micro-interventions acceptable to children and their participating parent/guardian? An additional five secondary exploratory research questions are described below [in the description section]. Participants will be recruited into the trial by a research agency via their parents/guardians. Once recruited, they will be randomised into one of 4 conditions: - 15-minute TV intervention - 15-minute active TV control - 3-minute music video intervention - 3-minute active music video control Children (and their parent or guardian) will visit a testing centre in groups of approximately 12 dyads. Children will complete T1 assessment interviews one-on-one with a researcher, before watching their assigned media with their parent. After watching their assigned media, children will complete their T2 assessment, again one-to-one with a researcher, while parents complete a survey regarding their acceptability of the media they watched. Parents/guardians will be given a link to rewatch their assigned media and encouraged to rewatch with their child before returning to the testing centre approximately one week later. When children and parents/guardians return one week later, the child will complete T3 assessment interviews one-to-one with a researcher, and parents will complete a short survey regarding their rewatch habits. Researchers will compare the two positive body image media micro-interventions with their time-matched active controls to examine if they are effective in yielding immediate improvements in children's body functionality appreciation and body appreciation and in reducing anti-fat attitudes.
This present study will examine the effectiveness of a single session, virtually delivered body empowerment program for decreasing participants thin ideal internalization. The intervention asks participants to identify cultural norms surrounding appearance and attractiveness, then challenge these ideals. Participants will answer questions about thin ideal internalization before and after the program.
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the trunk and spine, which can significantly worsen during advanced growth stages. While scoliotic deformities have various causes, approximately 80-90% of all scoliosis cases have an unknown origin and are referred to as idiopathic scoliosis. Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most common subtype of idiopathic scoliosis. The primary treatments for AIS include physiotherapy, bracing, and spinal surgery. Several scoliosis-specific exercise programs exist as part of physiotherapy interventions to treat scoliosis, with core stabilization being one of the methods aimed at maintaining spinal alignment. Virtual reality is an interactive, three-dimensional simulation model created by computers that provides participants with a sense of reality and enables mutual communication. Virtual reality offers a method to create stimulating and engaging environments, using task-oriented techniques to leverage individual interests and motivation. One of the most significant advantages observed in all forms of virtual rehabilitation is its ability to promote interactivity and patient motivation. In the literature, virtual reality applications have been used in healthcare to facilitate recovery, post-illness rehabilitation, and enhance performance in athletes. However, there is limited research on the application of virtual reality therapy for scoliosis patients. One study mentioned the use of two scoliosis-specific exercises through video-assisted games, but the limited exercise repertoire resulted in no significant differences. Other video-assisted studies have suggested that exercises targeting posture, balance, and walking can be utilized for scoliosis patients. Therefore, our study aims to apply core stabilization exercises to scoliosis patients using virtual reality applications and investigate their effects on patient improvement. While studies examining the effectiveness of core stabilization exercises on body awareness in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis are limited, it has been reported that the basic body awareness therapy is effective in terms of pain, body image, quality of life, and functionality. Our study aims to contribute to the literature by utilizing the therapeutic effects of both basic body awareness and virtual reality-supported exercises. The research will be conducted at Ruhi Tingiz Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital, affiliated with Amasya University Training and Research Hospital. Participants diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will be randomly assigned to four groups for the study. All participants' curvature severity and rotation angle, trunk flexibility, trunk normal joint range of motion, spinal pain, Cosmetic Defect Assessment-Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale (The Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale (WRVAS)), Quality of Life Assessment-"Scoliosis Research Society-22" (SRS-22), and Children's Depression Scale (ÇDÖ) will be evaluated before and after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of 8-week online delivered exercise program on actual and perceived physical fitness components.
Body dissatisfaction, a primary risk factor for eating disorders, is prevalent among adolescents. Given increases in adolescent body dissatisfaction since the Covid-19 pandemic, there is a pressing need for universal body image interventions, particularly for older adolescents aged 15-17 years, as this is a peak time for the onset of adolescent body image concerns; however, currently there are no evidence-based body image programmes for this age group. This cluster randomised control trial will evaluate the effectiveness of BodyKind, a four session, teacher led, mixed gender body image intervention for older adolescents that incorporates empirically supported principles of self-compassion, cognitive dissonance and social justice. The version of BodyKind culturally adapted for the Irish context will be evaluated in adolescents aged 15-17 years in fourth year in post-primary schools in Ireland. Primary outcomes of body dissatisfaction, body appreciation and psychological wellbeing, in addition to secondary outcomes of body ideal internalisation, self-compassion and compassion for others will be assessed at pre, post and 2 month follow up in intervention groups (who receive the BodyKind programme) and waitlist controls.
