Filter by:As a result of the pandemic, hygiene and distancing rules must be followed in Health care/ rehabilitation clinics to ensure the safety of patients and staff. This has led to extensive changes in the therapy processes, including a reduction in group sizes and maintaining distances within the groups, resulting in a reduction in the range of therapies available to individuals, since the number of employees remains unchanged and cannot be increased at will and in the short term due to the lack of qualified staff. In order for the treatment/rehabilitation goals to be achieved nonetheless, new forms of implementation of therapy programs must be developed in addition to organizational adjustments. Digitalization can be a significant support in this respect. The majority of patients in psychosomatic rehabilitation possess smartphones, meaning that the necessary infrastructure for the utilization of digital offers is available and can be used to the greatest possible extent. The use of digital measures within the therapeutic services supports the independence of the patients, as they can use the digital offers independently and flexibly in their own time. How should Health care/rehabilitation services be designed in light of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and which services have the potential to buffer future crises: What general recommendations can be derived for the design of such services for routine care? What are support measures to encourage social participation and return to work?
The lockdown of the French population is a health measure put in place in response to the pandemic linked to a new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19). After a health campaign to recommend hygienic "barrier gestures" and social distancing, the decision to confine the population at the national level was decided by the executive from Monday 16 March to Monday 11 May 2020. The national confinement implies the restriction of movement to the strict necessary, outings near the home and the closure of schools and communities. These decisions have led to an unprecedented state of stress for the entire French population, the consequences of which are unknown in the short, medium or long term. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the psychological impact of the confinement on adolescents with or without chronic disease and also the difficulties and fears engendered by deconfinement .
Rotationplasty is a very special surgical technique. In its most frequent variant it allows, in the bone sarcomas of the distal femur, to remove all the thigh tissues including the knee joint keeping intact the innervation of the leg and the foot that are transplanted proximally after a 180 ° rotation and joined to the proximal femoral stump. It is currently the first choice in children under the age of 6 with a bone sarcoma localized to the distal femur but also finds indication in all age groups in cases of extremely voluminous and extended to the entire thigh with the oncological need to remove in block femur, knee and all the muscular involved. The objective of the study is to obtain information about the clinical and functional status of the limb operated in long-term surviving patients. In particular in this study the problem of the possible degenerative pathology of the hip on the operated side will be addressed. Moreover the psychic and psychological well-being of this population with particular reference to gender and motherhood will be tested.
This study evaluates the influence of a resilience training on psychobiological factors which are related to stress and resilience in young healthy male cadets. Half of participants will join in the resilience training, while the other half take part in a control-training (diversity management training).
Intervention studies for stroke caregivers (CG's) during early caregiving are few and have met with limited success. The Post-Stroke Rehabilitation Clinical Practice Guidelines (1995) recommend sensitivity to the adverse effects of caregiving on family functioning and CG health. Breakdown of the informal care system can lead to premature introduction of formal services, excess disability, and decline in well-being for stroke survivor and CG alike. Thus, it is important to attempt to prevent the chronic distress of stroke CGs through an early intervention that prevents and remediates distress, coaches problem-solving and other coping skills, can affect multiple outcomes, has durable effects, and is non-threatening and accessible. The proposed intervention will incorporate these features and will be low cost and feasible for use in clinical practice; it will target outcomes important to stroke CGs, depression, anxiety, caregiver preparedness, perceptions of life changes, family functioning, and survivor functioning. The individual format will make it possible to address life stage needs and cultural issues. Given the prevalence of distress in chronic stroke CGs, early intervention to prevent and mediate negative outcomes is essential. The proposed study will, therefore test the efficacy of an early intervention for stroke survivor caregivers that provides structured information on problem-solving and resources, guided problem-solving in the context of a supportive relationship, and training in skills to cope with stress and emotions. The intervention will be tailored based on assessment data, will begin during acute rehabilitation and will extend through the most stressful caregiving phase. The study will use a two-group design (the experimental caregiver problem-solving intervention [CPSI] group and a wait-list control [WLC]) group to examine the effectiveness of the CPSI in reducing CG depressive symptoms and anxiety, improving caregiver preparedness, perception of life changes, family functioning, and stroke survivor functional status. Qualitative methods will be used to gain insight into why the CPSI works for some CGs and not others.
Although family caregivers perform an incredibly valuable service for their relatives and the formal health care system, they do so at a considerable cost to themselves both emotionally and physically. Effective stress management techniques can: 1) help to decrease the caregivers' feelings of burden and stress; 2) improve the emotional and physical health of caregivers; and 3) empower caregivers to gain control of their lives.
