Filter by:The focus of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a 12-week, telephone-delivered, positive psychology (PP)-based health behavior intervention in a group of patients with mild to moderate heart failure (HF), compared to a motivational interviewing- (MI-) based education condition and treatment as usual (TAU).
Glycogen storage disease type I (GSD I) caused by deficiency of glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme leading to build up of a complex sugar called glycogen in liver and low blood glucose level. Nutritional treatment involves supplying carbohydrates and uncooked cornstarch. Glycosade® (modified cornstarch) has shown promise in maintaining normal blood glucose level in GSD I. But the difficulty in nutritional treatment is determining the best type of carbohydrate to be given to avoid low blood glucose. Thus, there is a need to develop a simple test to examine glucose digestion and measure the utilization of different carbohydrates in GSD I and healthy controls.
This study tests the effectiveness of different strategies for engaging parents into an evidence-based parenting skills intervention, the Triple P Positive Parenting Program, offered universally to parents of children attending one of six public elementary schools.
This study evaluated the effectiveness of strategies for engaging parents into parenting programs. Engagement strategies included a booklet showing testimonial quotes and photos from prior participants, a recommendation to attend for the child's teacher, and a motivational call from the parenting program provider. It was hypothesized that the combination of engagement strategies would increase attendance at a parenting intervention compared to receiving only a promotional brochure and research interview.
The purpose of this study is to test an educational program with telephone follow-up to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL), treatment adherence, and reduce anxiety and depression symptoms in patients who are starting oral anticoagulants (OA).
The purpose of this double-blinded, randomized controlled study is to compare CORTEX (Cognitive Regulation Training and Exercise), a multi-faceted, center- and home-delivered- general and exercise-specific-active and traditional computerized cognitive training (CT) program to an attention-control condition involving health and wellness informational videos. More specifically, the cognitive training group will emphasize dual-task abilities, working memory, and visual-spatial processing, as well as self-as-exerciser priming and self-certainty training. It is hypothesized that early intervention cognitive training will enhance use of self-regulatory strategies and self-efficacy and in turn, increase exercise adherence to and engagement in a 12-month aerobic and resistive exercise program at a local fitness facility. More positive improvements in cognitive and psychosocial functioning among participants in the CORTEX condition (relative to the Video Attention-Control condition, i.e., health educational videos), are also expected immediately following the cognitive training, and across time. Expectancies and knowledge of study purpose (blinding integrity) will also be measured and used to statistically adjust for any training differences.
Normally, anaesthesia personnel make a record patients' information during the surgical procedure. Pre and post-operatively, they visit patients to make sure that their customers are well informed regarding the whole process and satisfied with the service as well as any complications that might be existed. The investigators would like to develop an anaesthesia electronic medical record at the point of care. The objectives are to record peri-operative patients' information in a real-time fashion, manage all administrative tasks as annual reports, and operate data as search engine for research and educational purpose.
This study aims to understand the benefits of imparting pre operative instructions through written leaflets. The influence on the number of avoidable postponements and delay is also studied.The study is restricted to patients undergoing Head & Neck procedures under General Anaesthesia, at the minor OT complex at Tata Memorial Hospital
The focus of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a customized, combined positive psychology and motivational interviewing (PP-MI) health behavior intervention in a group of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of motivational interviewing in the adherence of patients with AF to oral anticoagulation (OAC) regimens. Patients assigned to the intervention group will be interviewed and guided on the importance of adherence to OAC medication, and will be contacted at 1 week, 2 months, 6 months and 1 year after discharge for educational interactive sessions. Patients in the control group will receive usual treatment and will be contacted at 1 year after discharge.
