Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of Motivational Interviewing and e-health education on body composition and psychological outcomes. After baseline testing, participants will be randomly assigned to a motivational interviewing or e-health education group for a 10-week intervention. Variables of interest include: body composition, physical activity, food consumption and self-determination theory constructs.
Older adults constitute the age group that leads the most sedentary life in society and is mostly affected by physical inactivity. This study was conducted to determine how nurse-led Motivational Interviewing (MI) based on the Trans-Theoretical Model (TTM) affected promoting physical activity in older adults. A randomised controlled trial. The population of this trial was composed of seniors aged between 65 and74 living in a family health center area in Yozgat, Turkey (N=1630). The study sample, estimated via power analysis (d=0.30; 1-β=0.80; α=0.05), constituted 117 older adults (Intervention Group (IG) n=58; Control Group (CG) n=59) who met the inclusion criteria. The data were gathered via a questionnaire, TTM-Scales, Physical Activity Scale for Elderly (PASE), KATZ-ADL by an independent researcher who was blinded to the study groups. A pedometer (JP-600) for each senior was used to calculate the average weekly step counts. The data were analyzed via IBM-SPSS version 23.0. Descriptive statistics, student's t-test, paired-samples t-test, Mann Whitney-U, the Wilcoxon Sign, Friedman, Pearson chi-square, and Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact tests were used to analyze the data. Cohen's d and dz formulas were used to calculate the effect sizes. MI sessions were held every two weeks in IG. No intervention was applied in CG. Significant progress was found in the change stages of IG compared to CG. The mean of step counts was significant in favour of IG, and the effect size was d=0.641. PASE total score increased significantly in IG, and the effect size was dz=0.202. This trial indicated that after the TTM-based MI, the change stages of the older adults improved, and their exercising behaviours promoted. In conclusion, TTM and MI are recommended to be used by the nurses toimprove healthy lifestyle behaviours in older adults, and studies to increase physical activity levels in this population should be conducted for a longer period, and studies with larger sample groups are recommended.
This study will explore the effect of Adherence Therapy(AT) on medication adherence in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder.
1. Study Objectives To evaluate changes in general symptomatology in patients undergoing the day hospital eating disorders program at North York General Hospital and compare symptoms between treatment groups (motivation-oriented vs. psychoeducation-oriented). To determine treatment satisfaction ratings in patients undergoing the day hospital program and compare satisfaction between treatment groups. To evaluate the acceptability of patient-centered and motivation-oriented eating disorder treatment among patients. 2. Study Hypotheses: Participants who receive motivation-oriented adjunctive treatment will experience larger improvements in eating disorder symptomatology 6 weeks into treatment, 10-12 weeks into treatment, and at discharge (compared to admission), and as compared to those receiving psychoeducation-oriented adjunctive treatment. Patients who receive motivation-oriented adjunctive treatment will report higher satisfaction with treatment, stronger feelings of motivation to recover, and will be more likely to complete the program as compared to those receiving psychoeducation-oriented adjunctive treatment.
Approximately one-third of Canadian children have excess weight, putting them at increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, bone and joint problems, and some forms of cancer. Because current therapies for managing obesity have modest success, there is a need to develop and test innovative strategies to enhance pediatric weight management. Using a novel interview designed to measure motivation to change lifestyle habits, interviewers will conduct separate and structured 1-on-1 interviews with youth with obesity and parents. By applying principles of motivational interviewing, trained interviewers will ask youth and their parents about their motivation to change lifestyle habits related to diet and physical activity. Subsequently, interview data will be used to examine predictors of clinically-meaningful outcomes over time, including changes in weight status, lifestyle habits, health care utilization, and attrition. The investigators will also measure a number of variables related to weight management, including dietary intake, physical activity, anthropometry, and psychosocial health.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of motivational interviewing (MI) on adherence to exercises and on levels of pain and incapacity in patients who engage in physiotherapy for low back pain. Sixty patients attending a 15-day program of physiotherapy for low back pain were allocated to experimental (EG) and control groups (CG). A regular treatment of physiotherapy with at-home exercises is offered to all participants. On day seven, MI is applied to the EG. The CG receives an anti-inflammatory information program.
Patients with advanced illness and their families confront a number of issues ranging from distressing symptoms to making complex decisions that affect quality of life and survival. Patients and family members struggle with these decisions even more when they feel ambivalence or reluctance. The investigator's overarching goal is to enhance provision of high quality, patient-centered care for patients with advance illness and their families and to reduce burnout among palliative care clinicians. The investigator will apply a well-established approach to achieving clinician/patient alignment in the primary care setting, Motivational Interviewing (MI) to a new population and setting, palliative care.
Test the acceptability and feasibility of a brief motivational interview intervention to facilitate advance care planning (ACP) conversations for older adults with serious co-morbid illness being discharged from the emergency department (ED). The investigators will interview the participants to understand their perception of the intervention and collect patient-reported outcomes data after leaving the ED.
POWERSforID is a 24 week randomized control trial designed to assess the feasibility of a telehealth and coaching intervention for improving health outcomes of adults with intellectual disability. Recruitment is conducted through a disability health clinic located in Colorado Springs, CO.
Vaccination greatly reduced mortality and morbidity from many preventable diseases. However, to avoid the resurgence of these diseases and the human drama associated, high vaccine coverage should be maintained in the population. Yet in Quebec, vaccine coverage (VC) in young children remains suboptimal, especially caused by a proportion of parents who are ambivalent about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines. In this context, the Provincial Immunization Committee developed in 2010 a Quebec's immunization promotion plan. Therefore, our research team tested and validated across the Eastern Townships, a vaccination promotion concept by means of an educational intervention within maternities, based on motivational interviewing techniques. This intervention has not only significantly increased the intention of vaccination (+15%) within parents who had received the intervention but also increased their child vaccination coverage (+7.5% at 7 months). This is the purpose of the PROMOVAQ study (PROmotion of VAccination in Quebec) This research project evaluated the impact of an educational strategy based on motivational interviewing techniques within maternity ward on infants' VC. This strategy has been tested through a provincial study (Montreal, Quebec, Sherbrooke) including more than 2500 families. At term, this research program will offer the Quebec's Health Ministry an optimal strategy for immunization awareness so that Quebec's children may grow healthy and thrive.
