Filter by:Misconceptions about anesthesia and anesthetists in the health professional community may limit anesthetists' participation in their roles. These misconceptions affect the morals of anesthetists since their activity will be limited only to operation theater and the community at large, who did not get the desired care. Improving health professionals' awareness of anesthesia will make it easier for anesthetists to practice their full role and to develop a sense of validation by having their importance acknowledged. Moreover, society will gate the care offered by the anesthetist in different places of medical care.
This study aims to compare the results of online oral health education and conventional oral health education methods in terms of their effectiveness towards improving the knowledge and practice of oral hygiene in primary school children in Egypt. This study is done in two schools in Egypt, in 3rd and 4th grade respectfully. The classrooms in each grade will be randomly assigned to each of the two groups (online and conventional oral health education). A questionnaire that assesses knowledge and attitude towards self oral care will be administered by the primary investigator before and after the oral health education sessions. The pre and post questionnaires will be compared in terms of results to evaluate the effectiveness of both methods.
This cluster randomized controlled trial will evaluate a community-based bicycle safety education program with and without an in-person parent training component. The investigators will recruit 180 early adolescent bicyclists (ages 9 to 12) and a parent/guardian from local neighborhood centers after school and summer programs, where the investigators have conducted preliminary studies. Randomization into the three study groups will occur at the site-level. Adolescent bicycles in all study group sites will be equipped with Pedal Portal, an innovative bicycle-mounted GPS/video system developed by the research team to objectively observe bicycling risk exposure and behaviors while bicycling. System data will be coded to measure bicycling exposure (hours, miles traveled, routes) and the types and rates of safety-relevant events (near crashes, crashes), and safety-relevant behaviors (e.g., following traffic rules, scanning for traffic at intersections). This will be the first randomized trial to use GPS and video technology to evaluate the effectiveness of a youth bicycle safety intervention in changing behavior. The control group will not receive any bicycle safety education programming. Participants in the first intervention group (Bike Club) will receive a 12-hour bicycle safety education program. Participants in the second intervention group (Bike Club Plus) will receive an enhanced version of the 12-hour bicycle safety education program which will include a parent training session on bicycling safety best practices, child development as it relates to bicycling, strategies for practice at home, and feedback on their adolescent's bicycling performance. The investigators' main hypotheses are that adolescents who receive the bicycle safety intervention will have increased safety behaviors (e.g., helmet use, hazard recognition), reduced errors (e.g., riding against traffic, swerving/wobbling), and increased knowledge, perceptions, and self-efficacy compared to the control group; and adolescents whose parent receives the parent training will have even greater improvements in study outcomes than those whose parents do not receive the training. If successful, approaches from this study could be widely implemented to improve adolescent bicycling safety.
The research was designed in a randomized controlled experimental type in order to determine the effect of mobile application on students' knowledge levels and satisfaction levels about the prevention, treatment and care of pressure injuries. The population of the study conducted in the fall semester of the 2020-2021 academic year consisted of students enrolled in the Basic Principles and Practices in Nursing course at a foundation university in Istanbul between March and June 2021 (N=78). The sample size was calculated with G power 3.1.9.4, based on similar studies, and it was calculated that at least 28 people should be included in each group, with the pre-acceptance of α error being 5%, research power (power) 80%, and an effect value of 0.77. Research data were collected using the "Structured Description Form", "Modified Pieper Pressure Wound Knowledge Test" and "Satisfaction Scale".
With the aging population, the prevalence of dementia is increasing dramatically. People living with dementia are highly dependent on family care partners, who may have little knowledge of the disorder. National and provincial guidelines have all highlighted the importance of online resources to improve care partner education; however, very few have been widely implemented or rigorously studied. The investigators have developed the award-winning dementia education platform to complement traditional patient and family educational approaches. It allows free access to multimedia e-learning lessons, live expert webinars, and email-based content that care partners can access any time, anywhere. In a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), the investigators propose to study 1) the feasibility and care partner acceptance of the intervention and some of the study methods, and 2) the impact of the intervention on care partner self-efficacy, knowledge, and sense of burden. This initiative has the potential to improve the quality, cost effectiveness, and efficiency of dementia care. The intervention could be easily scaled and spread both provincially and nationally to complement other dementia education methods, at a time when the prevalence of dementia is increasing and access to high quality internet-based interventions is essential.
Background and Aim: Pediatric gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is an increasingly common procedure performed to investigate and diagnose problems in the GI tract in children. Procedures in pediatric endoscopy units are routinely performed under sedation and general anesthesia, unlike adult endoscopy. Nurses working in pediatric gastroenoscopy units where sedoanalgesia is applied have important duties and responsibilities in terms of quality standards in preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative periods. Considering the increasing need for high-quality pediatric endoscopy applications, the attitudes and behaviors of nurses about sedation in pediatric patients are important as a member of the team. There is almost no literature on the experience and awareness of pediatric endoscopy nurses in clinical practice, and this encourages our team to conduct a survey across our country and to develop knowledge and clinical practices. With this questionnaire survey, it was aimed to evaluate the experience and attitudes of the endoscopy nurses working in the pediatric endoscopy unit in our country on sedation/general anesthesia management for pediatric patients
This is a cluster randomized controlled trial to determine the efficacy of the WHO QR online training compared with a placebo intervention in improving the knowledge about human rights, the attitudes towards people with psychosocial disabilities, and the practices related to substitute-decision making and coercion among mental health professionals. Given the impact human rights violations have on the health of persons with psychosocial disabilities, an effort is needed to carry out methodologically strong research in this area. The study proposed will provide robust evidence to support further investment in interventions such as the WHO QualityRights training and make steps forward promoting the rights of people with psychosocial disabilities.
Problem description: low compliance with iron supplementation of Saudi pregnant women with anemia is a serious public health concern. The objectives of the study are to determine the effectiveness of the Health Information Package Program (HIP program) in Saudi anemic pregnant women on their compliance with iron supplementation, and level of hemoglobin. Methodology: Randomized Controlled Trial will be conducted on 196 Saudi anemic pregnant women attending the Maternity and Children Hospital in Saudi Arabia their gestational age between 14 and less than 20 weeks. All participants will receive iron supplementation and they will learn how to take tablets. They will randomly assign to two intervention and control groups (98 each) using a computer-generated table of random numbers. The intervention group will receive a PowerPoint presentation of the Health Information Package Program (HIP program) that will be introduced by the principal investigator, combined with PowerPoint slides to educate women about anemia in pregnancy and send it to them via Whatsapp application while the control group will receive usual care. The participants will be informed about the nature and aim of the study with assuring confidentiality and anonymity. Expected outcome: Health Information Package Program (HIP program) will be effective in terms of increasing women's knowledge regarding anemia during pregnancy, increase compliance with iron supplementation, and hemoglobin level.
The investigators have created a brief, 3-minute video that discusses the induction of labor process. The aim of this study is to evaluate, via a randomized method, how this educational video impact's patients' knowledge and satisfaction with the induction of labor process. Purpose: Evaluate how an educational video impacts patients' knowledge and satisfaction with the induction of labor process Research questions: 1. Does a brief educational video improve patients' baseline knowledge of the induction of labor process when compared to patients' who receive traditional care? 2. Does a brief educational video improve patients' overall satisfaction with their delivery course when compared to patients' who received the standard care? Hypothesis: Those patients' shown a brief educational video will have a higher baseline knowledge about the induction process and higher satisfaction with their delivery course compared to patients who received the standard in-office counseling.
