Filter by:This study aimed to conduct a short- and long-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program and compare its impact on nurses' professional quality of life, perceived stress and resilience. The research was conducted between January 2017 and January 2019 as a randomized controlled trial. The sample comprised 125 oncology-hematology nurses randomly assigned to a Experimental I (short-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program), Experimental II (long-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program) or control group. Data was collected using Personal Information Form, Professional Quality of Life Scale-IV (ProQOL-IV), Perceived Stress Scale, and Resilience Scale for Adults. Measurements were obtained during pre- and post-test and at three-, six- and twelve-month follow-ups. Research hypotheses were analyzed using multilevel models.
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal time interval between light emitting diode application and exercise to improve fatigue resistance.The results of this study could be useful in planning a rehabilitation program in musculature disorders and also in athletic training.
Chronic fatigue is the most common and debilitating symptom in intensive care unit (ICU) survivors. Indeed, it has been widely reported that patients who stayed in ICU for prolonged periods report a feeling of tiredness for months to years after ICU discharge. This symptom seems particularly pronounced in Covid-19 patients and may affect their quality of life by decreasing their capacity to perform simple tasks of daily life. The aim of the present project is to determine whether deteriorated neuromuscular function (i.e. increased fatigability) is involved in the feeling of fatigue of Covid-19 patients. Because the causes of this feeling are multi-dimensional, a large battery of tests will allow us to better understand the origin of chronic fatigue. A better knowledge of chronic fatigue etiology and its recovery will allow to optimize rehabilitation treatments to shorten the persistence of chronic fatigue and in fine improve life quality.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acupressure on the severity and level of cancer-related fatigue in elderly patients with cancer.
Fatigue is the most common symptom reported by 70 - 85 % of people with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) receiving haemodialysis (HD). Educational interventions involving energy conservation strategies are helpful in reducing fatigue. However, the effectiveness of energy conservation has not been previously studied in people with ESKD receiving HD. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of energy conservation education intervention for people with end-stage kidney disease receiving haemodialysis (EVEREST) in Nepal. Symptom Management Theory (SMT) will guide this study. A pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial (pCRT) will be conducted in one dialysis centre in Nepal. People on HD who meet the eligibility criteria will be invited to participate. The primary outcome is fatigue severity and the secondary outcome are other renal symptoms, occupational performance and health-related quality of life. Intention to treat analysis will occur and will include a change in the primary and secondary outcome. The study will provide evidence about the feasibility and effectiveness of EVEREST for symptom management.
INTRODUCTION: Patients with a metastatic breast cancer suffer from a deteriorated quality of life and numerous symptoms such as pain, severe fatigue and a decrease of their physical fitness. As the feasibility of a physical activity program has been demonstrated in this population, ABLE02 aims to assess the efficacy of a 6 month-physical activity program based on connected devices to improve health-related quality of life and to reduce fatigue in women with metastatic breast cancer. METHODS/ANALYSIS: ABLE02 is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled and, open-label study. 244 patients with a metastatic breast cancer , at least one positive hormone receptor and a first-line chemotherapy planned will be randomly assigned (1:1 ratio) to: (i) the intervention arm to receive physical activity recommendations, an activity tracker to wear 24 hours a day during the whole intervention (6 months) with at least three walking sessions weekly and quizzes to answer each week on physical activity and nutrition (ii) the control arm to receive physical activity recommendations only. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, M3, M6, M12 and M18 to evaluate the clinical, physical, biological and psychological parameters and survival of participants. All questionnaires will be completed on a dedicated application. DISCUSSION: An activity program based on smartphone application linked to an activity tracker may help to improve quality of life and reduce fatigue of patients with a metastatic breast cancer. The growth of e-health offers the opportunity to get real-time data as well as improving patient empowerment in order to change long-term behaviors.
Psychological distress is a significant problem for healthcare professionals and students in training. The investigator question the prevalence of this problem in French residents in anaesthesia and intensive care training.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a modified yoga program helps improve pain and function in elders age 65 years or older living in an assisted living community. Participation in regular physical activity, such as yoga, may improve strength and mobility and decrease pain. This study was developed to ascertain whether a modified yoga program improves pain and function in assisted-living elders, age 65 years and older.
In this case-control study, two- and three-dimensional landing biomechanics, by means of lower limb joint angles and moments (opto-electronic system with synchronised force plate), will be compared between 30 male volleyball/basketball players with a history of patellar tendinopathy and 30 healthy controls.
Fatigue is commonly experienced in numerous pathologies, including schizophrenia. Research has shown that chronic fatigue can exacerbate clinical symptoms. Several evidence-based interventions for fatigue syndrome have been shown to be effective in other medical conditions, but up to this date no research has assessed interventions in fatigue management within psychotic populations. The aim of this study is to evaluate (in a multisite single blind randomized clinical trial) the efficacy of a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention of fatigue management in people diagnosed with schizophrenia. Secondary objectives include the examination of changes in fatigue scores as well as clinical symptoms, physical & cognitive functioning, quality of life at 9-month post CBT intervention. Another aim in this study is to assess - MICROBIATE The investigators hypothesize that following the CBT treatment intervention, patients will demonstrate reduced level of fatigue. No change in the severity of fatigue is expected in the group receiving treatment as usual.
