Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and efficacy of a systematic training approach targeting behaviors to increase safety and prevention of airborne diseases such as COVID-19 in the workplace for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). This project is designed to determine proof of concept and proof of product for a peer support intervention, the SAFE program, to increase knowledge and safe workplace practices. There is an identified immediate need for individuals with IDD to receive training in an accessible format. The SAFE program has been developed in an accessible format for those with IDD. It focuses on education regarding actionable behaviors that reduce the risk of acquiring and transmitting COVID-19 and other airborne diseases. The study will implement a peer-mediated and occupational therapy lead program, SAFE, to identify and address potential implementation issues and further refine the program curriculum. Additionally, the efficacy of the program on perceived safety and well-being, observable preventative behaviors and self-advocacy will be examined.
Background: The vestibular system plays a crucial role in maintaining balance. Deficiencies in this system can result in instability and an increased risk of falls in older adults, posing a significant global health concern due to associated injuries. The Cawthorne and Cooksey program has demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing balance and reducing falls. This study aims to investigate the program's impact on balance, fear of falling, and dizziness in individuals aged 65 and older. Thirty-two older adults will be assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will undergo a video-supported Cawthorne and Cooksey-based therapy, while the control group will receive counseling on fall prevention and healthy living through leaflets. The 4-week intervention will take place three times a week, including one face-to-face session and one via video. Pre- and post-assessments, along with a one-month follow-up, will be conducted.
Fall incidents are the third cause of chronic disability in the elderly, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Recent reviews demonstrate that multifactorial and multicomponent intervention programs are effective in preventing falls in community-dwelling older adults. However, the application of these programs may not be accessible to a large part of the elderly population. The lack of continuity in the treatment of the consequences of falls, as well as the dissemination of prevention measures for this patient profile, could be minimized through the use of information and communication technologies. Method: This will be a randomized clinical trial that aims to evaluate the effects of two fall prevention strategies via telerehabilitation for elderly fallers after admission to an emergency room. It will be carried out by a multidisciplinary team with interventions for eight weeks and monitoring of outcomes over a period of four months. Patients will be evaluated regarding aspects of functionality in the second and month after the interventions and regarding the recurrence of falls during the four-month period. Discussion: The hypothesis is that the programs are viable in terms of accessibility to home training. However, to date, there is no evidence about the differences between these forms of interventions to prevent falls via telecare.
We conducted an implementation research pilot study to assess the adoption, fidelity, appropriateness and acceptability on an intervention to effectively disseminate cancer prevention messages to the public throught a mHealth implementation strategy
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-parallel intervention clinical study that will include approximately 72 healthy subjects based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly assigned to one of three different cohorts. Subjects in each cohort were randomly assigned in a ratio of 5:1 to two parallel dosing groups, one of which served as the control group. Each cohort was given either an experimental drug or a placebo nasal spray at different doses and intervals, and blood was collected on an empty stomach before the first dose, and left nasal swabs and throat swabs were collected for immunotoxicity and drug concentration testing. 14 days after the last dose, subjects will return to the study Center for blood samples, left nasal swabs, and throat swabs to be collected for drug concentration, immunotoxicity, and safety laboratory indicators (routine blood and biochemistry). To evaluate the safety and tolerability of MY-586 SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibody nasal spray in healthy subjects, and to evaluate its serum concentrations and nasal and pharyngeal swab concentrations by comparing the test results of different cotillaries.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Stories for Change (S4C) Cancer Prevention digital storytelling intervention for acceptability and socio-behavioral constructs to increase cancer screening among Hispanic or Latino individuals.
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of the internet-delivered intervention EMPATIA on general psychopathology of adolescents with subclinical symptoms compared to a Care As Usual (CAU) control group. The primary objective is to: - investigate the efficacy of the internet-delivered intervention on general psychopathology of adolescents with subclinical symptoms compared to CAU. - secondary objectives include: clinician-rated interviews and self-report questionnaires on the level of social and role functioning, time until onset of a mental disorder and service use. Furthermore, changes in subclinical symptoms, transdiagnostic mechanisms and therapeutic as well as safety measures are assessed by online self-reports Participants will use the internet-delivered intervention EMPATIA during eight weeks. Researchers will compare intervention group to a Care As Usual (CAU) group to investigate the efficacy of the internet-delivered intervention EMPATIA on general psychopathology.
This study is a non-randomized, 2-arm clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of two strategies for distributing FIT (fecal immunochemical test) kits in a community-based colorectal cancer screening program targeting African Americans (AAs). The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Does the on-site distribution of FIT kits result in higher return rates compared to direct mailing? - Which distribution strategy (onsite vs. direct mailing) is a more cost-effective approach for increasing colorectal cancer screening rates among underserved populations? Participants in the study will be African Americans who are eligible for colorectal cancer screening. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups: the on-site distribution group or the direct mailing group. In the on-site distribution group, participants will be given FIT kits at a designated Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) service location. In the direct mailing group, participants will receive the FIT kits through the mail using the DMV database.
Purpose: The study aims to examine the effect of web-based multi-source training on the prevention of urinary tract infections in adult kidney transplant recipients on clinical outcomes. Design: The study is a single-center, parallel-group, single-blind, pretest, and posttest randomized controlled experimental study. Methods: A total of 90 kidney transplant recipients, 45 in the control group and 45 in the intervention group will be included in the study. Kidney transplant recipients will be randomized on the day of discharge. Before discharge, the Patient Socio-Demographical/Descriptive Characteristics Form and the Discharge Readiness Scale will be applied to the control and intervention groups. Routine training and aimed at preventing urinary tract infections web-based multi-source training will be provided to the intervention group. The developed educational material was evaluated by experts in terms of literacy, reliability, and information quality. As multiple resources on the web: there will be written and visual texts of the educational material, as well as podcasts and animation videos. Web page usability will be evaluated with the System Usability Scale. Individuals will be able to benefit from each of these multiple educational resources according to their preferences. The control group will be directed to the organ transplantation handbook on the website of the routine education and organ transplant center. After discharge, the follow-ups of the intervention and control group were carried out during the first 6-month post-transplant standard follow-up process of the center (2. day; once a week for the first month; every ten days for up to 1-3 months; every three weeks for the next 3-6 months) will be performed. When patients come to their controls, the results of routine examinations (complete urinalysis, urine culture taken when necessary, hospitalization, emergency application, and other data) will be taken from the Hospital Information Management System. In addition, the recipients' opinions in the intervention group on the Web-Based Multi-Resource Training Program will also be received at the end of the 6th month. The research adhered to the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials-SPIRIT (2013) and Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials-CONSORT (2018) checklists.
