Filter by:The proposed pilot trial aims to evaluate the feasibility of iCBT based EMI, which is a real-time, real-world, personalised and cost-effective approach, for stroke survivors' psychological well-being.
The widespread use of smartphones today has led to the emergence of new ways of teaching, such as mobile learning. This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of mobile learning on students' success and anxiety in teaching the anatomy of the genital system. This research is a randomized controlled experimental study conducted with students who took anatomy classes at a private university between November-December 2018.The sampling consisted of 63 students who met the sampling criteria of the study and who were given permission to participate in the research after the information was explained. Control (n=31) and experimental group (n = 32) were determined by randomization using simple numbers table. The mobile application developed for the experimental group was installed on the students' android devices with the extension "genitalsystem.apk".The anatomy of the genital system was taught to the control group with a standard curriculum and to the experimental group via the mobile learning. In this context, the study hypothesizes that mobile learning is effective in teaching the anatomy of the genital system, and that the success levels of students who receive an education through mobile learning are higher and their anxiety levels are lower than those who receive education through traditional methods.
Black adolescents who are pregnant represent a high-risk and understudied perinatal population in health research. Adolescent pregnancy (<20 years) is disproportionately prevalent among Blacks compared with Whites and is a prominent risk factor for obesity. Fortunately, metabolic consequences of increasing physical activity coupled with minimal sedentary time can mitigate biological imperils and behavioral interventions targeting perinatal populations have demonstrated efficacy for this approach. Intervention studies to promote physical activity and reduce sedentarism among Black, perinatal adolescents in disadvantaged, rural settings may be a promising strategy to prevent obesity and reduce disparities. In the proposed study, investigators will assess the feasibility and acceptability of #BabyLetsMove, a mobile health intervention targeting three behavioral goals: (1) limit TV time to less than 2 hours a day (sedentary behavior); (2) take 10,000 steps or more per day (physical activity); and (3) do 20 minutes or more of structured activity like prenatal yoga or dance videos per day (exercise). In the #BabyLetsMove feasibility trial investigators aim to conduct a single-arm, 4-week pilot with 20 Black adolescents (15- to 19-years) enrolled in Mississippi's Supplemental Nutritional Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) to test the intervention's feasibility and acceptability. Participants will receive one text message per day for 4-weeks targeting behavior change strategies and two health coaching sessions via mobile phone; an introduction session in week one and a problem-solving session in week three. Investigators will also use qualitative interviewing with additional adolescents (n=20) to solicit user feedback regarding the acceptability of intervention content and materials. Finally, in preparation for a pilot study using an effectiveness-implementation hybrid study design, investigators will conduct a pre-implementation evaluation using quantitative surveying (n=6 surveys) with WIC providers (n=60) to better under the culture and climate of WIC. Investigators hypothesize the #BabyLetsMove intervention will be acceptable to adolescents and a future pilot randomized controlled trial will be feasible. Investigators also anticipate identifying modifiable barriers and facilitators to implementing the intervention through WIC, which will help to design an implementation strategy with a high likelihood for uptake by WIC.
Introduction: Stroke continues to be one of the leading causes of disability in the Spanish adult population with the presentation of impairments such as alteration of mobility and a consequent reduction in quality of life. These sequelae, generally chronic, generates a significant expense and saturation of social and health services. With the growth in the number of cases, the development of new rehabilitation approaches and updating of the social context becomes pertinent, such as the incorporation of telerehabilitation to assist individuals with stroke. Objectives: To analyze adherence to physical rehabilitation by mobile App and to evaluate the effectiveness of lumbopelvic stability exercises performed at home with the App. Material and methods: Randomized controlled single blind pilot study (n = 30). Participants with Stroke (<6 months) will be randomized between two groups (App for carrying out lumbopelvic stability exercises + usual treatment versus usual treatment). The study will last 3 months and App adherence, Quality Of Life, participation in Daily Life, functionality, sitting balance, standing balance and gait will be taken as variables. Expected results: It is thought that the use of an App can contribute to rehabilitation in its chronic phase, monitorization and fallow-up the clinical evolution of the patient. Even if chronicity leads us to think about the stabilization of the physical condition, It is thought that the best results will be found among the subjects who will use the App.
Technology that has a particular focus on patients' needs and ease-of-use and -access plays a significant role in the development of e-health and m-health. The proposed model of a secured mobile health application may promote patient's self-management and enhances adherence in chronic therapy exactly as it is easy-to-use, reducing patient's burden in accessing medication information and instructions, and providing the opportunity for direct communications with health providers in charge for each patient with access to mobile technologies. Consequently, medication errors and unnecessary paperwork in the healthcare system will be avoided as well as giving more time for healthcare providers to pay greater attention to delivering medical care effectively and efficiently.
