Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine the effect of dignity therapy on the quality of life and depression levels of cancer patients. Methods: The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. Type of Research: Research, experimental, control group and pretest-posttest study will be carried out. Population of the Study: The population of the study was sent to Meram Medical Faculty Hospital Oncology Clinic consists of male and female inpatients. Sample of the Research: Those who agreed to participate in the research and met the inclusion criteria. Patients who meet will be included in the study. It was 48. It was planned to be. Randomization: In this study, parallel group block randomization method was applied to the intervention and control groups. will be allocated randomly. Block randomization was used because the sample size was small. Patients will be selected equally using permutation method, and randomization will be selected using blocking technique. will be done. During randomization, CONSORT 2017 will be used. For randomization; To control for performance bias, patients will be blinded to the study hypothesis and will not be informed which group they are in. There will be no blinding for the researcher. However, blind technique will be used in the research. This blind technique will be applied by the researcher with the patients blinded until the application begins.. Data Collection Techniques and Tools: "Personal Information Form", "Patient Dignity Inventory" and "Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale" were used in data collection (RSES)" will be used.
Rheumatic diseases (RD) are an important group of different clinical entities and specific diseases that affect a significant proportion of the world population. In Mexico, the RD have a relevant representation in the adult population. Dignity is a construct characterized by the representation of the self, of the self from others' point of view, and of the interaction of the individual with the environment and social context. Living with a chronic illness can threaten experiences of dignity for the sick person and their families. Various studies have demonstrated the direct impact of the disease on dignity in terms of physical and psychological symptoms and loss of function. Some efforts have been made to operationalize the concept of perceived dignity in the context of chronic diseases The perceived dignity of patients and the distress related to the feeling of loss of dignity (DRFLD) are outcomes that the patient can report and that the doctors can evaluate to be incorporated into the considerations of comprehensive care. Both outcomes are closely related, perceived dignity refers to a complex phenomenon, while distress related to the feeling of loss of dignity identifies those patients with a perceived dignity compromise of such magnitude that it generates anguish.
One of the crucial components of successful ageing is to live independently in old age. Yet in UK alone, nearly 300000 older people require assistance with 3 or more essential daily tasks like eating, bathing and mobility which compromises on their independent living. Additionally, in a crisis where health system in UK is already overstretched to its resources to combat the recent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, allocating resources for regular homecare services has become challenging. In this situation, Digital Health Technologies (DHTs) can be a potential solution to promote healthy ageing, support psycho-social wellbeing and enhance independent living for older people. Such technologies comprise a wide range of products used in the health and care services including apps, software and online platforms to benefit people. Yet DHTs are barely adopted by older people as they do not reflect their actual user needs leading to poor appropriation of DHTs in homecare settings. The investigators aim to address this gap by involving older people living at the Leach Court, UK under the eco system of the Brighton & Hove Digital Health Living Lab (BHLL) to co-design with us DHTs that addresses the barriers & facilitators they face in adopting to DHTs. This participatory research approach has a qualitative study design which is sensitive to basic human values like 'dignity', appreciates that older people are 'expert of their experiences' and methodologically has phenomenological underpinnings gathering the researcher's understanding from the lived experiences of older people. This unique project, part of the European Union (EU) Horizon 2020 funded INNOVATEDIGNITY project, will be aiming to translate intangible human values like 'dignity' into tangible technology design through better understanding of the barriers & facilitators older people face to DHTs adoption. With global population of older people increasing faster than all other age groups currently, this project stands to meet the future demands of the ageing population through dignity sensitive better designed DHTs . This project is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Networks (ITN). This project has received funding from the European Union's H2020-MSCA-ITN-2018 programme under grant agreement No 813928.
Aim of the study was to asses feasibility and acceptability of a nurse delivered Dignity Therapy (DT) intervention on advanced cancer patients referring to an Hospital palliative care unit. To achieve this aim a mixed-method approach using before and after evaluation and semi-structured interviews has been used.
Dignity is an integral part of quality of life (QoL). Older adults often face with situations that are related with the development of dementia and that might significantly affect their feeling of personal dignity. The aim of the project is to investigate the changes in the perception of personal dignity amongst older adults with dementia (OAwD) over the course of three years and to define factors that threaten their dignity. A mixed methods design (longitudinal prospective study) will be used. In the quantitative part, a battery of Czech questionnaires will be used, and a translation and validation of a Czech version of the ACE-III will be carried out. The qualitative part will include in-depth interviews (narrative and semi-structured). The sample will comprise of OAwD living in home setting. Knowledge of the changes in the perception of personal dignity and related factors may aid the healthcare staff in choosing interventions that support and preserve dignity of OAwD as a significant part of their QoL. The project is a follow-up of a previous project No. 16-28628A.
We conducted a randomized, controlled trial of dignity therapy for terminally ill patients with the aim of reducing dignity-related distress and demoralization and improving spiritual well-being.
Current practice in larger palliative care centers offer many supportive service modalities, which are often unavailable in the rural setting. Music Therapy by experienced registered Music Therapists is an example of such a modality. The current evidence continues to grow, identifying Music Therapy's benefits to help with symptom relief as well as to improve Quality of Life in many aspects of medicine, but especially in the context of palliative care. This proposal outlines an initiative to provide music-based interventions in a rural community palliative care unit where there is limited availability to a registered Music Therapist.
