Filter by:This study will be conducted to test a Socially-Assistive Robot (SAR) system for residents in an Assisted Living environment. The goal of the SAR system is to enhance social engagement and connectedness. The system engages residents via robot-facilitated activities such as trivia and reminder and is integrated with the SimpleC Wellness Platform.
It is critical to evaluate strategies that leverage women's engagement in antenatal care to increase male partner testing while alleviating the burden on pregnant women to encourage their male partners to HIV test. A peer-delivered status-neutral approach to male partners of pregnant women may be an innovative strategy to overcome barriers to men's reluctance to test for HIV and initiate HIV prevention or treatment services. For pregnant women living with HIV, partner testing and disclosure could facilitate women's continuation of ART post-partum, and for HIV-negative women at risk of HIV acquisition, this could facilitate women's initiation of PrEP during pregnancy. Thus, multiple public health goals could be achieved through increasing the proportion of men who know their HIV status.
The purpose of this pilot study is to preliminary examine the impact of a design mechanism aimed at increasing engagement in an unguided digital parent training program for child's behavior problems. Parents will be enrolled into one of two digital parent training intervention arms, dedifferentiated by their level of correspondence with the related deign mechanism.

Previous research has shown that YouTube is a poor source of high-quality medical information. This is likely because there is no regulation of the content on YouTube and relatively little of the content is posted by qualified medical professionals. It is known that up to 30% of patients use the internet to research the procedure they will be having and given the increasing popularity of YouTube we suspect many patients are using YouTube or similar sites as a source of information prior to elective surgery. There are likely a number of patient factors that contribute to patients seeking out videos as a source of pre-operative medical information. Patient age, which is generally inversely correlated to computer literacy, may have a role. Patient anxiety and pre-operative worrying may cause a patient to turn to the internet to search for information, and the poor overall quality of the content available may worsen pre-operative anxiety. The primary objective of this study is to determine if providing patients with a reliable, high-quality video about their condition and operation prior to surgery reduces pre-operative anxiety. Secondary aims are to determine the percentage of patients that independently seek out videos online as a source of medical information prior to elective hand surgery, identify patient attributes that are associated with this behavior, and understand if introducing high quality pre-surgical videos has an impact on post-operative patient outcomes and/or patient engagement. The investigators hypothesize that providing patients with high-quality pre-operative videos will reduce pre-operative anxiety. Its is also expected that patients who seek out videos on their own for pre-operative medical information will be younger and have higher anxiety levels and pain catastrophizing scores. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that patients who watch high-quality pre-operative videos may have better short term post-operative outcomes and greater engagement in their care than their counterparts that did not watch videos or who sought out videos on their own.
"Health care legislation, management and administration" is a basic subject offered in the physical therapy university degree. The juridical features of this subject usually provokes a lack of motivation between students. Although not commonly used in university teaching, gamification could provide further affordances for improving students' engagement which provokes better assistance and learning outcomes.
This cluster-randomized controlled trial (c-RCT) evaluates the effectiveness of a brief, single-session psychosocial workshop, "CETA Short Session" (CSS), for reducing symptoms of distress and functional impairment and increasing treatment engagement among conflict veterans and their families in Ukraine. The CSS workshop includes psychoeducation, review of a self-assessment, safety screening, and training in cognitive coping. This will be evaluated against a single-session comparison workshop that includes all of the same workshop elements except for cognitive coping. Registration for both conditions includes completion of a self-assessment. Participants with safety concerns or very severe symptoms will be immediately referred to mental health treatment; others will be asked to wait for one month before being reassessed and, if indicated, referred to mental health treatment. Both conditions include an individual check-in phone call one week after the workshop. Distress and functional impairment outcomes will be assessed one month from baseline. Treatment engagement outcomes will be assessed three months from referral. The investigators hypothesize that individuals attending sessions randomized to CSS will show greater improvement in mental health outcomes and greater treatment engagement than those attending sessions randomized to the comparison condition. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spring 2019, the RCT was paused to develop and pilot an online version of both the CSS and comparison workshop. The trial protocol has now been expanded to continue the effectiveness trial while allowing for both online and [when/if feasible] in-person intervention delivery.
