How health-related information is communicated affects what is understood and might influence how people make decisions and how confident they feel in participating in clinical shared decision-making. The CICERO trial will compare three different communication tools providing information on fictional interventions for a common medical problem (i.e. social anxiety disorder) both in terms of how well interventions work (benefit) and also possible harms associated (risk). The three communication tools ("Summary of Findings table", "Kilim plot", and "Vitruvian plot") differ in how they present information: exclusively written, primarily written and partially graphical, or mixed written and visual. Each participant will be asked to go through one clinical scenario. The investigators will ask participants to familiarise themselves with the tool they have been allocated to (either a plot or a table) and then answer some validated questionnaires to measure how useful and efficient the communication strategy was. The entire study occurs online in a single study session (about 20 minutes). The results of the CICERO trial will inform how to communicate research findings to the general population, facilitating their implementation in clinical shared decision-making.
Our primary aim of this study is to assess the impact of an early literacy text messaging program (TipsByText, TbT) for parents of children between 3 to 4-years old during an office visit without access to preschool. To assess this aim, our objectives are to specifically assess (1) child literacy using the Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening Tool (PALS-PreK) and (2) caregiver involvement using the Parent Child Interactivity Scale (PCI) pre- and post-intervention, comparing with a control group not receiving the TipsByText intervention. A secondary outcome of this study is to compare trust among families that participate in the Tips by Text (TbT) Program with families that do not participate in TbT using the Trust Evaluation Scale. Children will complete the PALS-PreK and caregivers of the children will complete the PCI and Trust Evaluation Scales.
Acute symptom onset is the most common problem in colorectal cancer surgery, and it is also the source of the most painful impact on patients' lives. The second is the fear of cancer recurrence and complications, and psychological problems such as fear or depression are prone to occur. Studies have found that colorectal cancer is gradually suffering from complications and symptoms for six months, and even uncontrollable gas, leakage and incontinence, causing frequent occurrence of underwear. , The body and mind are severely impacted, and affect daily activities and quality of life. The problem of initial symptom management after colorectal cancer surgery is highly complex, and patients even have to self-manage diseases and symptoms in the face of physical and psychological adjustment. The provision and consultation of knowledge and information from nursing staff can prepare patients for discharge and meet their needs for knowledge and information, and can help patients achieve effective self-management capabilities.The foundation of health awareness emphasizes health knowledge. Health awareness is a more advanced knowledge achievement; it is the ability to make judgments and decisions in daily life related to health care, disease prevention and health promotion, and is the basic element of achieving self-management of health. Dietary knowledge is also a higher-level knowledge, which reflects dietary knowledge in behavior, food choices and criticism, and reflects on food choices and health decisions. Insufficient dietary knowledge will affect food choices, judgments and decisions, resulting in insufficient diet-related knowledge.Studies have confirmed that the health-related knowledge of cancer patients is significantly related to disease self-management. Only when patients understand their own diseases can they actively participate in self-health management. Nursing staff play a pivotal role in the care of patients with colorectal cancer. Through the knowledge transfer of nursing staff and guiding patients to take care of themselves, they can help improve postoperative dietary intake behaviors, thereby enhancing dietary awareness. Literature review of chronic disease self-management, nursing staff provide patients with sufficient relevant knowledge education, which can enhance patients' self-efficacy and enhance disease self-management ability.
This study will examine the feasibility of implementing a virtual bilingual health-focused family literacy program.
The purpose of this study is to test a novel behavioral treatment - Adapted Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (ACBT) - against standard Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). The goal of the study is to determine if ACBT confers improved outcomes for women with depression and low literacy. Depression is a serious women's health issue. According to the World Health Organization, depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide with females reporting symptoms of depression at almost twice the rate of males. This study will provide pilot data to enable us to determine the effect size needed to detect a between-groups change in depression scores. The overall impact of this study will be empirical support for a novel form of treatment for women with depression, who also may lack adequate literacy, educational, or cognitive ability required to benefit from standard CBT.
The purpose of this research study is to learn new things about how parents and others who care for babies think about sharing books with their baby and how they might respond to guidance from their doctors. The study involves participants filling out a survey with questions about a newborn baby and thoughts about the baby's development. The study should not take more than an hour and fifteen minutes during the delivery hospital stay and another 20 minutes at the baby's one month well child visit by phone or emailed survey link. Participants may also be interviewed and asked some questions about these topics. The conversation will be audio recorded, and should last no more than 30 minutes. The survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. The participant and their child will be randomized, like flipping a coin, to either receive the study intervention book, Cluck and Moo, along with standard or care or solely standard of care at your time of hospital discharge. The greatest risks to this study would be feeling uncomfortable about answering some of the questions and potential risk of loss of confidentiality.
The aim of this randomized trial is to compare a specially designed children's book to brochures for safe sleep education via clinical providers at a third trimester prenatal obstetric visit. Mothers in the control group will receive a specially designed children's book regarding the importance of reading with their infant at this visit, compared to brochures. Knowledge of safe sleep and home literacy orientation will be assessed at baseline prenatally, and their first postpartum obstetric visit.
