Purpose: The aims of the research are to determine the effects of individual trainings on family planning given to migrant women (Ahıska Turks), repetitive trainings via mobile applications, telephone counseling initiatives on women's health responsibility levels, family planning knowledge and attitudes. Design: This pretest-posttest is an interventional quasi-experimental research. Method: Standard protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) Statement 2013 checklist is used in this study. The CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) flowchart is used in this protocol. This study will be carried out with immigrant (Ahıska Turks) women between the ages of 15-49 who are registered in Üzümlü Family Health Center in Üzümlü district of Erzincan province. In this study, individual training on family planning and health responsibility, repetitive training via mobile application and telephone counseling initiatives will be made. The same applications will be applied to the control group after the study data is collected. Hypotheses: H1: Mobile applications for family planning, telephone counseling and individual training have an impact on the family planning attitudes of immigrant women. H1: Mobile applications for family planning, telephone counseling and individual trainings have an impact on the family planning knowledge level of immigrant women. H1: Mobile applications, telephone counseling and individual trainings for health responsibility have an impact on the level of health responsibility of migrant women.
Press tack needle is one of the acupuncture modalities in the form of needles that are attached to the skin, and can be left attached to the skin for several days which makes its use much easier than conventional acupuncture. The purpose of this study was to determine how the effect of press tack needle acupuncture on leg muscle strength performed on sports students. Research subjects as many as 30 people were randomized into two groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. In the intervention group, acupuncture treatment was performed with a press tack needle at acupuncture points on the legs. The leg muscle strength was measured using a leg dynamometer before and after the acupuncture intervention. Analyzed the difference in mean leg muscle strength before and after the intervention, and between the two groups.
A retrospective study of the quality of life and problems experienced by patients who developed pregnancy related VTE. It involves patients seen at JUH in 2012-2020. A questionnaire will be filled by those patients and any other patients in Jordan. It was translated to an Arabic form from EQ-5D, VEINES-QOL/SYM questionnaire and PEmb-QoL. The quality of their lives will be assessed and the problems encountered are going to be analyzed to try to find some solutions. This project is going to be a national research project with the efforts to try to find common platforms for those patients and nidus to establish a national support group.
The present double-blinded randomized controlled design aims at comparing the effects of a full-body manual massage and foam rolling intervention. Sixty-five healthy individuals were randomly allocated to foam rolling, manual massage or a control intervention consisting in an autogenic relaxation routine.
The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale, which was created to evaluate the satisfaction of individuals, caregivers, and coordinator providing telerehabilitation services within the scope of telehealth, will be investigated.
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) characterizes a range of negative health and performance outcomes that result from chronically low energy availability. RED-S concerns high performance junior and senior athletes across Canada and has a prevalence rate of 3-60%. Our ability to assess and diagnose RED-S remains poor. Accordingly, we aim to create the best parameters to diagnose and manage RED-S; along with information of the prevalence and severity across Canada and globally. These outcomes are expected to have a significant positive impact on the health and performance of Canadian athletes in preparation for the Olympic Games in 2022 and beyond.
Introduction In shift work, quick returns refer to transitions between two shifts with less than 11 hours available rest time. Twenty-three per cent of employees in European countries reported having quick returns. Quick returns are related to short sleep duration, fatigue, sleepiness, work-related accidents, and sickness absence. The present study is the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate the effect of a work schedule without quick returns for six months, compared to a work schedule that maintains quick returns during the same time frame. Methods and analysis A parallel-group cluster RCT in a target sample of more than 4000 healthcare workers at Haukeland University Hospital in Norway will be conducted. More than 70 hospital units will be assessed for eligibility and randomized to a work schedule without quick returns for six months or continue with a schedule that maintains quick returns. The primary outcome is objective records of sickness absence; secondary outcomes are questionnaire data (n ≈ 4000 invited) on sleep and functioning, physical and psychological health, work-related accidents, and turnover intention. For a subsample, sleep diaries and objective sleep registrations with radar technology (n ≈ 50) will be collected. Ethics and dissemination The study protocol was approved by the Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics in Western Norway (2020/200386). Findings from the trial will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national and international conferences. Exploratory analyses of potential mediators and moderators will be reported. User-friendly outputs will be disseminated to relevant stakeholders, unions and other relevant societal groups.
The purpose of the Finnish Spinal Cord Injury Study (FinSCI) is to identify factors related to the health and functioning of people with spinal cord injury (SCI), their challenges with accessibility and how such factors are interconnected. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is used in the study as a structured framework. The study participants will be recruited from three SCI outpatient clinics, which together are responsible for the life-time care of the SCI population in Finland. Mixed methods are used including a questionnaire and interviews. The survey will be formed from patient-reported instruments; SCI-specified Spinal Cord Injury Secondary Condition Scale, Spinal Cord Independence Measure, Nottwil Environmental Factors Inventory Short Form and selected items of the generic instruments of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System and National study of health, well-being and service. The survey covers 51 ICF categories. The study results can help develop care and rehabilitation policies with SCI, the planning of training models and information provided to various parties involved.
Normative data values of handgrip strength not only describes hand normality but is also used as an objective assessor of upper extremities damages for Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy interventions. Published normative data of different populations are widely available and can be used as reference. It is evident from different researches that various anthropometric variables such as age, gender, ethnicity, nutritional status, shoulder circumference & Body Mass Index(BMI), type of occupation and hand dominance of any population influence the hand muscles grip strength. Whereas, some literature shows disparity over the correlation between hand grip strength and BMI, several researchers claiming a positive relationship between BMI and grip strength in all ages of both genders, while other indicates no relationship. Approximately 3000 volunteers will be recruited from the staff, medical students, and visitors of different medical college & universities of Lahore. Subjects will be excluded if they had a history of upper-limb injury or deformity, or related health conditions. Socioeconomic background, general health, and lifestyle of the subjects will be assessed using a standard questionnaire. Weight, height & APM thickness will be measured prior to testing. Correlation between Hand Grip Strength and age, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), and Adductor Polices Muscle Thickness (APMT) will be measured. Multiple linear regression analysis will be used to adjust for the effects of other variables and to identify those independently associated with Hand grip strength. All the analysis will be carried out on SPSS v 25.
