Filter by:Many women despite being well-treated in proper dose, with proper drug and for proper duration, may not respond to different forms of prolactin normalizing drugs. This will lead to extension of the treatment duration up to months or even years. Doctors usually increase the dose of the drug with high possibility of side effects and even complications. Some doctors change drug group to another without any significant improvement of hyperprolactinemia. hyperprolactinemia can indicate a deeper issue, about 10 percent of the population has hyperprolactinemia. Life style, feeding habits and sexual behaviors are usually not included in the management protocols of hyperprolactinemia. Aim of the study: This study will be aimed to: test the impact of clinical guidance to increase women's awareness of some contributing factors to help proper treatment of unexplained resistant hyperprolactinemia not responding to therapeutic DA (cabergoline 1.5-2 mg/week). Hypothesis of the study: H1- Health education for women under drugs of hyperprolactinemia is effective to reduce the level of prolactin. H0- Health education for women under drugs of hyperprolactinemia is not effective in reducing the level of prolactin
Aim: To determine the effects of health education about Human Papilloma Virus infection and cervical cancer prevention on knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors of adolescent girls and their mothers. Background: To combat with cervical cancer, it is urgent that prevention Human Papilloma Virus related disease all around the world. Design: A randomized trial with a control group (n=108) and an intervention group (n=108). Methods: The study was applied between January to June 2019 in the two different adolescent outpatient clinics in Turkey. The outpatient clinics were randomly assigned as intervention and control groups by numbering and opaque and sealed envelopes. Based on the intention-to-treat principle, all participants were analyzed according to the group they were assigned to, regardless of whether they received the intervention or not. In addition to the routine clinical practice, the adolescent girls and their mothers who participated in the intervention group were given health education twice in the first interview and in the fifth week. Follow-up continued for 12 weeks. The adolescent girls and their mothers in the control group received routine clinical practice. The effects of health education were evaluated with Human Papilloma Virus Knowledge Scale and Health Belief Model Scale for Human Papilloma Virus and its Vaccination. Impact: Human Papilloma Virus vaccine, which has an important place in primary protection from cervical cancer, is expected to provide effective results by facilitating access to vaccine accompanied with health education.
Assessing whether multi-media health education reduce nurse workload and does not decrease the satisfaction of patients in surgical ward when admission.
The purpose of this proposal is to implement a joint project with Georgia Southern University and the Effingham County Navigator Team to improve the quality of life of families with a child with a disability in southeast Georgia. The final outcome of this project will be a new curriculum, Living Well Together, which builds on a previous implementation of the Living Well with a Disability curriculum in Bulloch County.
The purpose of this study is to test an educational program with telephone follow-up to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL), treatment adherence, and reduce anxiety and depression symptoms in patients who are starting oral anticoagulants (OA).
Healthful eating is a core component of a healthy lifestyle that is associated with lower risk of obesity and chronic disease. Although adolescent health promotion programs have been extensively evaluated and applied in English-speaking Western developed nations, there is very little published literature in the Russian context. Our study seeks to determine the relative effectiveness of a healthy lifestyle intervention consisting of nutrition education at a Russian camp. Investigators will determine the impact of behaviorally focused nutrition education on nutrition knowledge, food choice, attitude, and self-efficacy for healthful eating, compared to standard nutrition education.
There is little evidence on how best to present diagnostic and treatment effect information to dentists and whether this makes any difference to their understanding of the information given and clinical management. The objective of this study is to assess the influence of different formats for presenting diagnostic test results and treatment efficacy on dentists' understanding and on their reported clinical management. The hypothesis is that presenting diagnostic test and treatment effectiveness results using natural frequencies influences the threshold for treatment and improves interpretation of tests results compared to conditional probabilities and percentage differences. A group of dentists recruited from postgraduate courses were randomized to two of four arms, being two arms of a hypothetical realistic diagnostic scenario (a) and two arms of a hypothetical realistic treatment scenario (b): a1) diagnostic test results presented in conditional probabilities; a2) diagnostic test results presented in natural frequencies; b1) treatment efficacy presented in percentages; b2) treatment efficacy presented in natural frequencies. The main outcome measures were the correct answer as to whether disease was actually present (post-test probability) and the correct answer as the number of patients that would benefit from the treatment (efficacy). Secondary outcome measures included the decision whether to treat or not treat the hypothetical patient.
The aim of this study is to establish PAtient-Centered Computerized Educating System for Stroke (PACCESS) for patients with different demands and lack of knowledge.Those in the intervention group will receive the PACCESS and the control groups will receive traditional health education to test the effects of PACCESS in increasing clinical decision-making, health behavior, activities of daily living and knowledge of stroke, and health care quality.
The delivery of anticipatory guidance is an essential component of pediatric practice. Given the large amount of information to be shared during each encounter and the limited time available, there is a need for an effective and efficient means of communication between health care providers and families. The investigators hypothesize that more active parental participation in the form of note taking during the delivery of anticipatory guidance will lead to increased knowledge, higher levels of satisfaction with the encounter, and increased adoption of recommended parenting practices. In this study, the investigators propose a randomized controlled trial of the impact of note taking during the delivery of newborn anticipatory guidance on maternal practices related to newborn care. The investigators plan to compare a control group of mothers receiving standard of care anticipatory guidance with an intervention group of mothers who are encouraged to take written notes while receiving the anticipatory guidance. The primary outcome of interest is maternal practice related to infant sleep position, and the secondary outcomes of interest are maternal practice related to breastfeeding initiation and car seat use. The investigators also plan to evaluate the impact of note taking on mothers' knowledge of recommended practices related to newborn care and on mothers' satisfaction with the guidance received.
Unconscious touching of a person's own head or neck (for example by scratching) is a frequently observed and completely normal physiological movement pattern in humans, which when done by medical personnel attending a patient poses a high risk of unconscious self-contamination, even of an already disinfected hand, and of subsequent contamination of the patient. However, as compared to an ungloved hand, a gloved hand is felt to be "foreign," which could reduce the frequency of self-contact and thus the contamination rate. Wearing protective gloves is highly recommended in medical practice. The purpose of this study is to explore how wearing, or not wearing, protective gloves affects - the frequency of unconscious self-contact - contamination of the gloved/ungloved hand
