Filter by:Medical students have been shown to have a greater prevalence of poor sleep leading to poorer quality of life than other groups of students. Among medical students, poor sleep quality and insomnia have been associated with higher level of stress, as well as poorer academic performance. Our field surveys carried out in 2022 and 2023 at the Lyon Est medical school make the same alarming observation. They revealed that 53% of students had significant sleep problems.They also showed that students presented high levels of physical and mental fatigue. It is expected that these disorders will significantly degrade their quality of life as well as their health. Indeed, lack of sleep is associated with serious health problems such as illnesses cardiovascular or immune system deficiencies. The PROMESS - SLEEP project aims to offer solutions to students to improve their sleep during their medical studies. It responds to a demand expressed by students: our field study showed that 40% of 4th year students declared being "very interested and/or interested" in following an intervention that aimed at improving sleep. An early knowledge of sleep optimization tools would allow students to quickly acquire the tools necessary to cope with the difficult conditions encountered during their training and lives of future doctors.The objective of this study is to determine the influence of an intervention program based on sleep improvement and fatigue reduction among medical students.
It seems that prolonged vibratory stimulation of the anterior forearm in healthy subjects leads to fatigue of the muscles concerned, with a reduction in their strength. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of vibratory tendon stimulation on grip force fatigue during the acute post-stroke phase. The investigations will be carried out by a specialized physiotherapist from the neurology department. The experiment consists of three successive phases: - First : measurement of the maximum handgrip force before any vibratory stimulation and then after the three sessions of ten-minute vibration. - Second : Rest period - Third: control phase with measurement of the maximum grip force every ten minutes without vibration.
To determine the feasibility of an 8-week fucoidan supplement intervention for patients with fatigue post-cancer treatment and assess changes in fatigue, frailty, and inflammation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a commercial WATD (Wearable Activity Tracker Device) to collect HRV (Heart Rate Variability) data from pancreatic and breast cancer patients.
The collection of hazelnuts grown in our country provides a great source of employment for local people and seasonal workers. However, geographical conditions in hazelnut growing areas, challenging variable weather conditions in August and insufficient number of workers create a disadvantageous environment for seasonal workers. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of working conditions on mental status, fatigue, pain severity and postures (posture disorders, developmental delays, etc.) of young adults working in Giresun during the hazelnut picking season in comparison with the group living in the same sociodemographic and cultural environment but not working as seasonal workers.
SUMMARY Background: Several studies have shown physical activity (PA) to be inversely correlated to disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. However, it is unclear whether improved PA leads to lower disease activity or if low disease activity predicts improved PA in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Furthermore, it is unknown how fibromyalgia (FM) affects this interaction. Objective(s): Our primary objective will be to compare the effect of an immediate improvement in physical activity after one week on the proportion of RA patients achieving low disease activity after 12 weeks of biological treatment. Furthermore, we will explore whether the presence of concomitant FM affects this clinical response (i.e., interaction between FM status and PA response). Design: A prospective cohort study in the form of a target-trial attempting to address a causal question comparing the outcome among the participants with an immediate improvement in physical activity, relative to individuals without. Setting and patients: Biologically naive RA patients initiating biological treatment are consecutively enrolled. PA is quantified by accelerometry one week prior to, one week after, and after 3 months of biological treatment. Sample size: 100 RA patients starting biological therapy is planned enrolled in the study. Measurements: RA patients will be divided into two groups depending on their improvement in physical activity after onset of biological treatment. The percentage of time spent in moderate-to-vigorously physical activity (MVPA) i.e., the percentage of time a patient is in motion [walking, running, bicycling, or swimming] is measured prior to, one week, and approximately 3 months after biological treatment onset, respectively. The MVPA ratio (MVPA After biological treatment/MVPA Before biological treatment) will divide patients enabling a contrast between two groups: Those with high improvement considering MVPA (after 1 week; the upper tertile of MVPA ratio of the sample) and those without. Treatment response (achieving a disease activity score < 3.2) after approximately 3 months from baseline will be analyzed as the contrast between groups.
This study investigates the impact of earthquake trauma on compassion fatigue among nurses working in emergency services following the devastating earthquakes on 6 February 2023, in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey. These earthquakes, with magnitudes of approximately 7.7 and 7.6, affected 11 provinces and resulted in over 50,000 deaths and 100,000 injuries, placing emergency service nurses at the forefront of dealing with the aftermath and trauma. The concept of compassion fatigue, characterised by a reduced capacity for empathy after repeated exposure to traumatic events, is a significant concern for nurses who have been directly involved in the care of earthquake victims. This study aims to explore the extent of earthquake trauma and compassion fatigue among these nurses, examining the relationship between these two conditions and their long-term effects. Given the limited research on post-traumatic stress disorder and compassion fatigue among emergency service nurses, this study seeks to contribute valuable insights into the psychological impacts of disaster response on healthcare professionals. The hypotheses tested aim to better understand the risks and psychological burdens faced by nurses in the wake of such natural disasters.
This study adopted an experimental research design to explore the effects of a warm water foot bath program on fatigue, sleep, and heart rate variability in patients with heart failure. The subjects of the study were heart failure patients in the cardiology outpatient department. The patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. The control group received routine care and wore an actigraph. The experimental group received 4 additional care in addition to routine care and wearing an actigraph. Weekly warm water foot bath, data collection includes subjective sleep quality and fatigue level, physiological measurements: sleep quality-sleep time and efficiency, and heart rate variability index.
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of employing music therapy in alleviating fatigue and medical laboratory values among patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
COPD is an important respiratory system disease that progresses with damage to the airways.Increased mucus secretion and thickening in the airways causes obstruction.This obstruction causes symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, phlegm and wheezing.The most obvious problem that the emerging symptoms will cause for the patient is fatigue.Coping with fatigue is an important problem in COPD. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the training given in COPD affect the level of fatigue? 2. Do the education given and text messages sent regarding COPD affect the level of fatigue? In this study, patients were given informative education about COPD and ways to cope with fatigue were explained. Then, in order to increase the permanence of the training, motivational messages and short briefings were continued for 8 weeks.2 messages were sent per week. Three groups were created to reveal the effectiveness of the trainings and messages. Group 1 was trained and messages were sent for 8 weeks. Group 2 was trained and no message was sent. Group 3 is the control group. No training has been provided other than routine maintenance. The initial information of all groups was taken again at the end of the 8th week. Main outcomes: - Dyspnea severity, - COPD general conditions and - Fatigue level. The results obtained will be interpreted by comparing between 3 groups.
