Filter by:Rationale: Nutrition and lifestyle interventions are currently not implemented in usual clinical care of PAH-patients. Mainly because there is little known on the relation between pathology, nutrition and lifestyle. Patients who suffer from Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension feel insecure about their nutrition and lifestyle. The investigators hypothesize that an intervention on nutrition and lifestyle can improve the patients' quality of life. Objective: To explore the effect of a nutrition and lifestyle intervention on quality of life for patients suffering from PAH. Study design: Investigator initiated intervention study with control group. Study population: investigators aim to include 70 patients (18 - 80 years) with idiopathic, hereditable or drug related PAH, who have been stable for at least three months and are self-sufficient and/or have a family who's willing to participate in the lifestyle changes. Intervention (if applicable): Nutritional status, - education, - intervention and - compliance. Main study parameters/endpoints: This is an intervention study in which the investigators will asses the effect of a nutrition and lifestyle intervention on quality of life measured by SF-36 overall outcome with a significant difference of 6.35. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The burden for the patient exists of 12 extra visits to the hospital and contact moments, over a period of 11 months, as well compliance to the diet and lifestyle. There is minimal risk in participation.
This study aimed to determine the effects of laughter yoga on the perceived stress, burnout and life satisfaction of nurses working actively during the pandemic period. A total of 120 nurses, determined by power analysis, were included in the randomized controlled study. The study included 2 groups. (A group of nurses who have active contact with patients diagnosed with or at risk of covid-19, group B: nurses who have active contact with patients diagnosed with or at risk of covid-19 and participate in laughter yoga practice. Laughter yoga; immune system antibodies and endorphin hormone. It has been proven by experimental studies that there is a connection between the two, that it has a healing effect, that it accelerates the circulatory system as an adverse effect to stress, and that it has a vasodilation effect in the vessels.
Background:Health professionals are responsible for the education of hypertension patients. Aim:The aim of this research is to see how self-efficacy support affects hypertension patients' medication adherence and self-efficacy levels. Methods: This research is randomized controlled interventional research. The research is conducted inTurkey June-December2021.The research sample included 63hypertension patients who met the research's research requirements.According to the sequence of the arrival at the hospital, data were separated into groups with odd(intervention group)and double(control group)numbers.The necessary forms for both groups' pre-test data were filled out face-to-face. The intervention group received hands-on blood pressure measurement training with the "Hypertension Training Manual",including how to self-measure blood pressure.Over the course of the research, patients were asked to check their blood pressure twice a day at home and record the results.The patients in the intervention group were reminded of their blood pressure measurement three times a week by SMStechnique for three months to avoid forgetting it.Three months later, the same forms for the post-test data of both groups were filled out with an online survey method.The data were evaluated using the single-blind study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of ION904 on plasma angiotensinogen (AGT) in participants with uncontrolled hypertension.
This is an implementation type II hybrid study with randomisation in cluster, whose objective is to compare two strategies of implementation of the Brazilian cardioprotective diet guidelines in primary health care in two Brazilian cities. All health professionals from the health units (clusters) randomized to the intervention group will receive training on the subject. The health professionals from the health units randomized to the control group will follow the usual activities, receiving only the printed guidelines, as usually done. After 6 months, the prescription rate of the Brazilian cardioprotective diet will be evaluated, as well as the quality of the diet of patients in both groups.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Apixaban is effective and safe in Prevention of Portal Vein Thrombosis in Liver Cirrhotic Patients after Laparoscopic Splenectomy and Azygoportal Disconnection
This study aimed to evaluate whether vagus nerve-guided robotic-assisted splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection is effective and safe, and to determine whether a reduction in the incidence of postoperative complications of the digestive system improves postoperative quality of life compared with conventional robotic-assisted splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Limitless, in combination with a low-carbohydrate diet, after 30 days of supplementation in an adult population. Changes from baseline to Day 30 post-supplementation on several parameters of vascular function will be examined and safety outcomes will be determined.
Hypertension prevalence among Malaysian adults is high at around 30% and is also reported to be the highest risk factor for mortality in Malaysia. Home Blood Pressure Monitoring (HBPM) has been proven to improve blood pressure levels for at least twelve months when used in conjuction with co-inventions such as education interventions or support from health care professionals. Social media has been described as having a favourable role in health interventions due to its popularity with vast numbers of users particularly the younger adults, its advantages mainly in health communication with patients, plus its promising impact on behavioural change. It has been reported that around 15% of those with hypertension are young adults; aged between 18-39 years. Therefore, this may be a good start to plan an intervention program on hypertension using the concept of short videos as popularised by social media; particularly on home blood pressure monitoring. As students are future doctors and can act as advocate in sharing important healthcare knowledge to family members and friends, they are the best candidate to be chosen as subjects of this research.
This study is a randomized controlled study. The study was completed to with randomized selected 30 training and reminder by watch (experiment), 30 education (experiment) and 30 control group total of 90 hypertensive patients. Patients in the experimental group received training on hypertension and treatment adherence. In addition, the participants in the training and reminder by watch group wore a medication reminder wristwatch. Statistically significant differences were found in the post-test between scale scores of the experimental and control groups (p<.05). It was observed that the initial blood pressure measurements were high in the patients in all three groups, while the highest decrease was found in the training and reminder by wristwatch group at the final measurement (p<.05). Hypertension education program and using a medication reminder wristwatch were found to be effective in increasing treatment adherence.
