Filter by:The European Code Against Cancer contains 12 recommendations to reduce the risk of cancer. It is estimated that about half of all cancers could be prevented if all recommendations are followed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Program of Health Behaviour Against Cancer (PHeBAC) applied to mothers of children with intellectual disabilities in increasing the participation of mothers and their children with intellectual disabilities in cancer screenings and their health behaviors against cancer. The goal is to improve the preventive health behaviors of children with intellectual disabilities and their mothers against cancer and to increase the rate of participation in cancer screenings. Specific targets are; not smoking and not being exposed to smoking, increasing physical activity, healthy nutrition, limiting alcohol consumption, protection from sunlight, HPV vaccination and increasing participation in breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screenings.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the specificity of the growing up process in young people with disabled siblings. The functioning of adolescents with disabled siblings as a person growing up in three environments will be examined: family, peers and school. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does having a disabled sibling influence the functioning of a healthy child in the family system? - Do siblings of disabled children show a higher level of maturity than their peers with properly developing siblings? - Does having a disabled sibling modify a child's functioning among peers? - Does having a disabled sibling modify healthy adolescent's educational experience? - Is there a greater risk of psychological disorders among siblings of disabled children than among siblings of normally developing children? The 160 participants' dyads will take part in the study: healthy adolescent having disabled sibling and one of his/her parents. The parents' participation is necessary to assess the presence of possible internalizing and externalizing disorders among adolescents taking part in the study. The healthy adolescent will be filling out questionnaires regarding the remaining studied variables: functioning in the family - siblings relations, parental attitudes; at school - school achievement, extracurricular activities; relations with peers - time spending with peers, number of friends, as well as the growing up process trajectory - parentification and the way of going through an adolescent crisis. Researchers will compare four groups (40 dyads in each group): three groups of adolescents having disabled sibling 1) intellectual disability, 2) motor disability, 3) chronic somatic disease, and 4) control group - healthy adolescent having sibling without any disability, to see if they differ from each other referring to the studied variables.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about vaccinations hesitancy, delay or avoidance in children with chronic diseases, congenital anomalies or disabilities. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Attitudes of caregivers towards vaccinating their children, obstacles that postpone vaccinations, and the status of vaccinations of these children. Participants will fill out questionnaires and some will be included in focused groups for the qualitative part of the study. Researchers will compare the vaccinations status of the research group to their siblings' status as well as the published national records of vaccination compliance.
Due to the ageing process, individuals with intellectual disability (ID) experience decreased balance and loss of functionality at an earlier age than their peers without ID. Above-mentioned negative effects of the age affect particularly work ability, forcing to the retirement. It also implies difficulties for social interaction and economic problems, among others. Baduajin is a traditional Chinese exercise and it has been demonstrated as an effective therapy in different alterations of the movement (i.e. Parkinson Disease). The hypothesis of this study is that a training program of Badaujing will improve the balance and functionality of individuals with ID over 40 years old that from a company of in sheltered work. Subjects with mild to moderate ID aged 40 years or older who are working in Lantegi Batuak (Bizkaia, Spain) will be invited to take part in an Baduajin intervention. The training program will consist in a 1 hour session each week during 9 month. Participants will be randomly assigned to a control or intervention group. Before and after the intervention, all the participants will be assessed with the following protocol: SPPB for functionality, balance in stabilometric platform, and strength of the upper limb.
The general objective of this study is to know the attitude towards people with disability of Nursing and Physiotherapy students in the University of Cadiz. This is a descriptive, correlational, transversal and synchronous study.
The EVAL'ID study aims to demonstrate the value of a multidimensional assessment in accompanying schooling of children with Intellectual Disability. The study will be performed in the Rhône department (France) in children aged from 5 to 13 years with mild to moderate Intellectual Disability , and attending school either at ULIS (Unités Localisées pour l'Inclusion Scolaire, which enables disabled children to attend regular schools), or IME (Instituts Médico-Educatifs, which are special schools mandated to accommodate children and young people with Intellectual Disability at any level of disability). A multidimensional assessment encompasses the assessment of academic, cognitive, behavioral and adaptive skills of the children, with validated and reliable neuropsychological batteries, called ID Kit (Intellectual Deficiency assessment Kit), which includes the following scales : the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children 4th edition (WISC-IV), the Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scale II, the GECEN rating form (Grille d'Evaluation Comportementale pour Enfants Nisonger, which is the French translation of the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form), and an academic skills rating form (GEVA-SCO). A comparison of the children neuropsychological profiles according to the type of school they attend, will be perform. The project consists of three phases: - Stage 1: Collection of information from each child records at MDPH (Departmental Administration for Disabled Persons), IME, ULIS schools, including the assessments that were performed, and from a survey of both caregivers and parents regarding their respective perception and knowledge of the child's disability - Stage 2: All the children who were not previously assessed with the ID kit will be further evaluated using these tests. The results of these assessments will be shared with parents and caregivers. - Stage 3: A survey regarding the perception and knowledge of the child's disability will be carried out again among caregivers and parents.
