Filter by:The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of counseling for prenatal screening and diagnostic tests on pregnant women's decisional conflict, being sure of the decision, anxiety levels, and attitudes towards the tests. This prospective randomized controlled intervention study was conducted between the dates June 2017 and March 2018 in a training and research hospital, department of obstetrics and gynecology. The sample of the study consisted of 210 pregnant women who took antenatal care between the 8-11th gestational weeks of whom 112 were in the intervention group and 98 were in the control group. The data were collected by using Data Collection Form, The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI I-II), Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS), Sure Scale (SURE), Knowledge Evaluation Form about Prenatal Genetic Screening and Diagnostic Tests, Prenatal Counseling Satisfaction Form, Decision Satisfaction Form and Attitudes towards the tests Scale. The study carried out in two stages. In the first stage; women's data were collected before and after participating prenatal genetic screening tests. After the results of the screening test were taken, the data were collected again. Counseling was provided for 112 pregnant women about prenatal screening and diagnostic tests before participating tests. Routine clinical information was given for 98 pregnant women who were in control group. Both groups were pre and post-tested at the same times. In the second phase, pregnant women who had diagnostic tests were evaluated. Counseling for prenatal genetic diagnosis tests was provided for 31 pregnant women in inetervetion group women and routine clinical information was providen for 26 pregnant women who were in control group. Data were collected again with data collection tools before and after the diagnostic test.
The purpose of this research project is to test the effectiveness of a previsit educational video designed to help women understand the risks and benefits of a midurethral sling for treatment of stress urinary incontinence. A total of 38 participants will be recruited from both the Urogynecology pre-operative clinic of the university of California, Irvine Medical Center and the Urogynecology pre-operative clinic at Kaiser Permanente, Anaheim and Orange County. Participants will be randomized either to watch a 10 minute educational video (intervention group) or read a standard handout describing the midurethral sling (control group). Participants will then complete their pre-operative visit in the usual fashion. Participants will complete a pre- and post- intervention knowledge questionnaire to assess the primary outcome (change in knowledge before and after intervention). Participants will repeat the knowledge questionnaire and complete validated questionnaires for satisfaction with decision scale and decision regret at 2 and 6 weeks post-operative.
The overall aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of a study protocol for a future stepped wedge cluster randomized clinical trial (c-RCT) that will investigate the effects of an innovative KT intervention on 1) walking capacity and independence in ADL in patients undergoing rehabilitation after stroke (patient outcomes); and 2) clinicians' practice (i.e. use of 4 evidence-based stroke rehabilitation interventions: motor imagery/mental practice, rhythmic auditory stimulation gait therapy, task oriented training including fitness and mobility exercises and aerobic training) (provider outcome) aimed at improving walking capacity. The specific objectives are: 1) To evaluate the feasibility (effectiveness of clinician recruitment strategies, extent of losses to follow-up across sites, and data analysis plans) of the study protocol in terms of methodology (stepped wedge design is an innovative methodology); 2) To estimate intervention effect sizes on study outcomes (patient and clinician); 3) To evaluate the secondary outcome (clinicians' use of the 4 interventions) with regard to reliability and validity.
This study evaluates changes in knowledge, attitudes, practices and coverage of key reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) areas, including malaria, family planning (FP), nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and gender equity among the population in Nampula and Sofala provinces targeted by the Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) in Mozambique.
This study will demonstrate oral health educational program to egyptian school girls age from 12-14 years old to evaluate the change in the knowledge, attitude and practice of oral health
Chronic pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide affecting just under 28 million people in the UK. Chronic pain conditions require a biopsychosocial rather than a biomedical model of care. Biomedical management lacks evidence of effectiveness but also has the potential to exacerbate the condition by raising fears and anxiety about potential pathological abnormalities. Healthcare professionals often hold negative beliefs about people with chronic pain and view the condition within a biomedical framework. These negative attitudes can be observed at the pre-registration training stage of the health professionals' career. Thus, the pre-registration phase is an important point where an individual's understanding of, and beliefs about, pain and people with pain may be shaped for the future. The need for improved and better education of healthcare professionals to support best practice for low back pain with the aim of integrating professionals' management of low back pain and fostering innovation in practice is well recognised. This study seeks to quantify the benefits of pain education in knowledge, attitudes and beliefs. The findings may encourage other pre-registration institutions to deliver pain education in a more directed way and simultaneously support the International Association for the Study of Pain's (IASP) proposed integration pain education into existing curriculum.
This is a randomized controlled pilot trial to establish methodological feasibility and determine whether a web-based, continuing dental education intervention regarding opioid prescribing risk mitigation strategies - consistent with ADA guidelines - produces pre-to-post changes in knowledge, motivation, and behavioral skills pertaining to the use of risk mitigation strategies when prescribing opioids in dental practice. The current study involves completion of a self-report pre-test (dentists), randomization to complete ROPEs or attention control intervention, completion of a self-report post-test (immediately following intervention/control completion), and completion of 1-month self-report follow-up assessment.
The aim of this study is to engage parents and their young children (1-5 years of age) using the mobile intervention, Nutricity. Study goals are to increase parental nutrition literacy and improve eating habits of children.
The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of the iGrow Readers curriculum in changing diet and physical activity knowledge among preschool-aged children. The secondary objective of this study was to better understand the relationship between diet and physical activity related outcome variables in preschool aged children and their primary caregivers.
Chronic pain affects from one third to one half of the population in the UK (Fayaz et al, 2016). The cost and burden of chronic pain is significant to health services worldwide. The affects of chronic pain are widespread upon the lives of those affected. Health professionals need to be better equipped than at present to manage pain and current chronic pain management knowledge in healthcare is poor. Briggs et al 2011 described the hours of pain education delivered at undergraduate level as 'woefully inadequate'. The International Association for Study of Pain (IASP) defined curricula for pain education at undergraduate level 6 years ago but current levels of knowledge at undergraduate health professional level are not widely known. This study aims to establish this at the outset of a pre-registration health professional courses and at the end of these courses. This study aims to identify the baseline knowledge and attitudes of pre-registration healthcare students in Universities throughout UK and Ireland toward chronic pain management. The disciplines targeted are nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, diagnostic radiography and paramedics. It is a cross sectional study that compares attitudes and knowledge of first year and final year pre-registration healthcare students in the UK and Ireland. These parameters are measured using the HC-PAIRS measure and Revised Neurophysiology Questionnaire respectively. In addition anonymous data is collected pertaining to participant characteristics which are institute of study, age, gender, level and discipline of study to enable a comparison between these parameters.
