Filter by:This research is an experimental study with a randomized pre-test-post-test control group to evaluate the effect of the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program carried out by tele-nursing on the palliative care nurses' perception of stress, resilience and compassion fatigue. The main questions it aims to answer are: Question 1. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an effect on the increase in the stress coping score of the palliative care nurses in the intervention group? Question 2. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an effect on the reduction of stress perception among palliative care nurses in the intervention group? Question 3. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an impact on the increase in resilience of palliative care nurses in the intervention group? Question 4. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an effect on the reduction of compassion fatigue in palliative care nurses in the intervention group? The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental design with the required ethics committee and institution permissions, a three-month announcement and initiation period, and an eight-week intervention period. Data will be collected twice at baseline and after intervention (Week 9). Personal information form, Perceived Stress Scale, Coping with Stress Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Quality of Life Scale for Employees will be used in the pre-test phase of data collection. Participants meeting the inclusion criteria will be assigned to the intervention and control groups by randomization. In order to support nurses in the intervention group to gain awareness of stress and anxiety and develop positive coping skills with stress, a total of 8 sessions of 40 minutes are planned, including interaction steps based on education and cognitive approach. Individuals will be given homework from the second week and they will be asked to deliver these homeworks to the researcher 2 days before the next interview, and it is planned to send reminder messages from the WastApp group created. Participants who do not deliver the assignments given in this study to the researcher on time will be excluded from the research even if they participate in online training. No intervention will be applied to individuals assigned to the control group. Participants will be informed about the Mobile Mental Health Support System created by the Turkish Ministry of Health and will be directed to this application. It is planned to apply Perceived Stress Scale, Coping with Stress Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Quality of Life Scale for Employees at the 9th week for the application of post-tests.
The goals of this observational study are to evaluate (1) the feasibility, usability, and satisfaction with the Cubii elliptical and (2) the preliminary efficacy of the Cubii elliptical for increasing activity (primary outcome), physical function, and quality of life, and decreasing physical and psychological symptom (e.g., pain, fatigue, depression) severity in people with MS. The main question it aims to answer is how usable and feasible is the Cubii as a mode of exercise for people with MS? Participants will use the Cubii as they choose and keep a written log of this use. They will answer questions about their demographics, MS disease-related variables (e.g., pain, fatigue, falls), activity, exercise, quality of life, and biopsychosocial symptom variables) and provide additional data regarding the feasibility, usability, and satisfaction with use of the Cubii.
Fatigue in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a problem that is seen without physical exertion and affects the majority of patients. In studies on fatigue in the literature, it has been seen that subjective methods are frequently used by using evaluation scales based on patient statements, but objective evaluation methods are not yet sufficient. This study was planned to compare the measurement results by evaluating fatigue subjectively, objectively and cognitively in MS patients.
The investigators hypothesize that delivery of anodal tDCS to the left frontal head region will reduce fatigue severity following stroke.
The goal of this observational predicted study is to predict muscle fatigue using a specific AI algorithm in healthy vs post Covid-19 infected individuals. The main question it aims to answer is: Can Artificial Intelligence be used as a reliable source of predicting localized muscle fatigue in healthy vs post Covid-19 infected individuals? Participants will be divided into two groups: A healthy group and a post Covid-19 group. - Each group will undergo a familiarization process before the start of the exercises. - Then, each group will perform squatting exercises guided by the kynpasis virtual reality apparatus. - sEMG for the vastus lateralis and rectus femories, chest expansion, and goniometric measurements of the knee will be taken during different reported fatigue levels using the Biopac system. - Groups will continue squatting while recording their subjective fatigue levels using the Borg scale. - Data will then be run through machine learning processes to produce an AI algorithm capable of predicting isolated muscle fatigue.
The aim of study was to evaluate the effects of inspiratory induced muscle fatigue on functional mobility of older adults. Though, limited literature exists regarding inspiratory muscle fatigue and its consequences on functional activities of daily living and balance. Yet, it is not clear how improvement in inspiratory muscle strength is related with improvement in functional mobility.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent cause of non-traumatic disability in people under 55 years of age. Fatigue is the most frequent and disabling symptom in the disease, and for which there is no effective treatment. Among the proposed drugs, amantadine is the one that could be most useful, although up to now it has not been adequately demonstrated due to a lack of sufficiently powerful and methodologically appropriate clinical trials. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has recently been proposed as a useful treatment for fatigue in MS in preliminary studies.
This study will be conducted in a randomized, controlled and experimental manner with patients with hematological malignancies admitted to the Adult Bone Marrow Transplant unit and Hematology-Oncology unit of Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital after obtaining the necessary permissions. The number of patients to be included in the study will be determined by power analysis. The study will include patients who are willing to participate, have no communication problems, are 18 years of age or older, and have no known allergy to lavender oil. Patients with allergies, drug addiction and refusal to participate in the study will not be included in the study. Before the study, patients will be divided into intervention and control groups using a simple random number table. At the beginning of the study, a form including socio-demographic and disease information, Richard Campbell Sleep Quality Scale and Piper Fatigue Scale will be evaluated. Two different options will be used to prevent findings. The first group will be treated with lavender oil and the second group will be treated with saline and 2 drops will be placed on the patient's shoulder 20 minutes before bedtime every night. The application will be started simultaneously with the chemotherapy and will continue until the end of chemotherapy treatment. Sleep and fatigue will be assessed daily using the Richard Campbell Sleep Quality Scale and Piper Fatigue Scale.
The aim of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial is to evaluate the effect of hydrogen-rich water consumption on performance, recovery, psychological and biochemical outcomes in elite Czech fin-swimmers.
This intervention study aims to evaluate the before and after changes in physical fitness, cardiorespiratory status, exercise capacity, fatigue, anxiety, dyspnea, psychoemotional conditions, and quality of life through 3 sessions per week for 4-week of an intensive therapeutic program in post coronavirus survivors. In addition, it aims to answer the main questions before and after the clinical trial study. - Does three sessions per week for 4-week of an intensive therapeutic program improve patients' physical fitness, cardiorespiratory status, and exercise capacity? - Does it improve physical endurance and fitness, enhancing fatigue, anxiety, and dyspnea on post coronavirus patients? Participants will ask first to answer these questionnaires before and after the intervention. - Berg Balance Scale (BBS): to assess the patient's ability (or inability) to safely balance (standing, active, and fall risk) during a series of planned tasks. - The Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale: is used to assess patients' degree of baseline functional impairment due to dyspnea from respiratory diseases. - Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale- 21 Items (DASS-21): measures the emotional states of depression, anxiety, and stress. - Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS): evaluates symptoms of chronic fatigue. - Quality of Life (QOL)-short form-36: to assess the quality of life and calculate eight subscales: physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health. After answering the questionnaires, the patients will then go through multiple tests before and after the intervention: - A 6-min walk test (6-MWT): is the primary measure of this study to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. - 10-meter walk test (10MWT): assess walking speed in meters per second over a short distance and assess capacity and endurance. - Time Up and Go (TUG) test: assess lower extremity function, mobility, and fall risk. The TUG test is the shortest, most straightforward clinical balance test available to predict the risk of falls. - 1-min sit-to-stand test (1-MSTST): assess lower extremity strength for one minute.
