NCT ID: NCT04260737 Completed - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

Interactive Decision Aid for Men Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer

Start date: February 26, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in the western world (National Cancer Institute, 2011). Prostate cancer diagnosis relates to significant psychological distress (Roesch et al, 2005; Hervouet et al, 2005). The management options available for men with localized prostate cancer typically offer similar survival rate and one treatment has not been determined more effective than other. Variance in severity, duration and frequency of side effects between treatments is considerable (National Cancer Institute, 2011). This can make the choice between management options challenging and distressing. Researches show that patients that are actively involved and provided with sufficient information have better health outcomes (Stewart, 1995). The study involves implementing interactive, web-based decision-aid to assist men with localized prostate cancer with their decision regarding their prostate cancer management options. Participants will be randomized to standard-care (SC) and SC + interactive decision-aid (IDA). The SC group will meet with their urologist and receive and information brochure. In addition the IDA group will receive a website that includes a wealth of information (e.g., overview about prostate cancer, overview of different treatment options, pros and cons of different treatment options and a value clarification exercise that is designed to assist participants to weigh the risks and benefits of each prostate cancer management option). The effectiveness of the intervention will be evaluated with questionnaires administered prior to randomization (baseline) and then again two weeks, one, three and six months after the randomization. Aim 1. Evaluate the relative impact of SC versus SC + IDA on medical decision making. It is hypothesized that participants randomized to the SC + IDA arms will have improved decision making (e.g., reduced decisional conflict) and psychosocial outcomes (e.g., distress), compared to those randomized to SC only. Aim 2. Identify mechanisms by which the interventions impact patient outcomes. It is hypothesized that: 1) improved decision making and psychosocial outcomes for the IDA arms will be mediated by increased knowledge; 2) participants who are undecided about the treatment decision and those that have information-seeking decision styles will benefit most from the decision-aid interventions.

NCT ID: NCT04209283 Completed - Trauma Clinical Trials

Using a Visuospatial Interference Intervention to Reduce Intrusive Memories Among Trauma Exposed Women

Start date: January 23, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This research study is designed to investigate the use of a simple cognitive task (a memory cue followed by playing the computer game "Tetris") for decreasing the number of intrusive memories of trauma among trauma-exposed women in Iceland. This is a single case series using a within subject multiple baseline AB design. Participants will aim to complete a no-intervention phase ('A': baseline phase) of one week followed by a one-week intervention phase ('B'), including a one-session intervention with a researcher comprising the simple cognitive task, followed by instructions to continue using the technique self-guided in subsequent weeks. Participants will be asked to monitor the occurrence of intrusive memories of trauma in a daily diary. It is predicted that participants will report fewer intrusive memories during the intervention phase than during the preceding baseline phase and that the frequency of targeted intrusive memories is going to decrease relative to non-targeted intrusive memories. Furthermore, we will explore whether having fewer intrusive memories has an impact on function and/or PTSD, depressive or anxiety symptoms.

NCT ID: NCT04008862 Completed - Clinical trials for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Partnership-based Nursing Practice for Lung Patients and Their Families

Start date: May 28, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to describe and measure the effectiveness of partnership-based nursing care for people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and their families. Investigators hypothesize that an holistic, inclusive -taking account of the challenge of multi-morbidity and the long-term relationship that patients with COPD and their families have with the nurses along with the open structure of whatever kind of services is needed in each patient-family case, often in interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration- , is beneficial as regards use of healthcare, health characteristics, HRQL, use of inhaler medications, sense of security in care and illness intrusiveness.

NCT ID: NCT03995303 Completed - Malnutrition Clinical Trials

HOMEFOOD Study - Home Delivered Food and Nutrition Therapy for Discharged Geriatric Hospital Patients

HOMEFOOD
Start date: January 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Because of short hospital stays, and nutritional status worsening for geriatric patients, time to improve this is limited. It seems necessary to integrate nutritional support after discharge, to prevent the consequences of malnutrition on health and physical capability. This study tests whether nutrition support using NCP (Nutrition Care Process) (1) in combination with delivered meals designed for old adults, improves nutritional status, muscle strength, physical function, quality of life and rehospitalization and mortality rates after discharge, compared to currently used care (2 = control) along with historical data. Participants (N = 200), will be randomized into two groups, the intervention will last 24 weeks. A dietitian (Ph.D. student) visits participants in the intervention group 5 times during the study period. Outcome parameters will be measured before discharge from the hospital, at 12 weeks and at 24 weeks. Data on hospital readmission and mortality will be followed up at 6 months after the intervention. Condition or disease: Malnutrition Intervention/treatment: NCP by a dietitian and free food constructed to fulfill protein and energy needs for the group.

Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The main purpose of the doctoral study is to better understand the experience of cancer diagnosis and treatment in how it effects sexuality and intimacy of the female cancer patient and her partner.

NCT ID: NCT03883529 Completed - Childbirth Clinical Trials

Reviewing Birth Experience With a Known Midwife

Start date: November 10, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study is a part of a PhD thesis. The study aims to develop a specific midwifery intervention consisting of two components; women writing about the birth experience and reviewing their experience with a known midwife. Women´s birth experience has received research attention worldwide, showing a prevalence of negative birth experience ranging from 5-34%. Considerable knowledge of predictors and impacts of negative birth experience exists, but less is known about effective interventions although women report that reviewing birth experiences is beneficial. Six to eight midwives, providing antenatal care at the high-risk maternity clinic at Landspitali University Hospital, provide the intervention after completing a special training program. Thirty women who had their antenatal care provided at the clinic, after 28 weeks of pregnancy, will be invited to write about their birth experience and review it with the midwife who provided their antenatal care, four to six weeks after birth. The study is based on a mixed method design where quantitative and qualitative data will be collected. Data including traumatic symptoms, birth outcomes, birth experience and experience of the intervention, will be collected from women before the intervention and then six weeks later. The participating midwives´ diaries and focus group interviews will be used to explore their experience of providing the intervention. Descriptive and thematic analysis will be used.
