Filter by:Psychosocial counseling applied together with infertility treatment programs makes infertile women more resistant to stress, increases the effectiveness of infertility treatments and encourages infertile patients to continue treatment by improving their mental health. It appears that learning adaptation strategies in infertile couples is concurrent with health promotion. In addition to medical treatments, it is aimed to add training to be given in accordance with the Roy Adaptation model, to adapt to the process and infertility, and to control stress in infertile individuals in the management of the process. The study was planned to examine the effect of education based on the roy adaptation model for infertile individuals on adaptation and coping with stress.
Infections with human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause cancer of the cervix, vagina, anus, throat, mouth, and penis. Prevention of these HPV-related cancers could be achieved by immunization with the nonavalent (HPV6,11,16,18,31,33,45,52,58) vaccine currently commercially available. However, in the U.S. approximately only 30% of females and 20% of males in the recommended age group receive the complete, three-dose HPV vaccine. Furthermore, data from the Los Angeles county suggest that HPV vaccination rates among these groups are lower than the national average. Significant barriers clearly remain including knowledge of the vaccine, transportation, number of doses and concern of side effects. Several programs worldwide have shown that schools remain an important venue for education as well as vaccination. In the US, vaccination within schools remains difficult because of many barriers including lack of nursing, insurance reimbursement, and liability. However, the school remains an important access to educational formats. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of educational sessions on the HPV vaccine among parents with children of vaccination age as a strategy to increase HPV vaccine uptake, by comparing HPV vaccination rates before and after the intervention. It is hypothesized HPV vaccine uptake will improve through the receipt of educational sessions to the parents of middle school children about the importance of the anti-cancer vaccine, the HPV vaccine. Three schools within Cedars-Sinai catchment area with whom Cedars-Sinai already has a Memorandum of Understanding in place: Berendo, Drew, and Carver Middle Schools in Los Angeles (SPA 4, SPA 6) will be recruited to the study. HPV vaccination rates will be compared before and after the intervention at the end of the observation period (12 months).
Any member of the research team conducted screening for the selection of eligible patients. Nurses will be responsible for delivering the "Guide tips for the person with a transplanted heart", thus initiating an individualized education program. Education will be held at the time of admission in which the patient has passed the most critical post-operative. Educational tips guide contains all the information necessary for the patient to have a first contact on the habits that must change. Education lasts 10-30 minutes and is taught in daytime, in a calm environment and at the right time, favoring the presence of the caregiver. Later, education is reinforced on the doubts that arise both the patient and the primary caregiver. During the first days of admission to the unit of cardiology, socio-demographic data of the patient and primary caregiver by the research team will be collected. A few days before discharge, having left time between 7-8 days after delivery of educational advice guide, any member of the research team, who does not work in the cardiology unit, will provide the patient and the primary caregiver the satisfaction questionnaire where the perception of information and education received during the postoperative period in the inpatient cardiology unit and the appropriateness of the topics covered in the guide educational advice.
