Filter by:The aim was to examine the validity and reliability of the Social Frailty Index in Turkish among older adults. 65 years and above older adults will be included included in the study. Older adults who agree to participate in the study will first be administered the Hodkinson Mental Test. Those who score 6 points and above will be included in the study. To evaluate the validity of the "Social Frailty Index", Social Inclusion Scale, Older people's quality of life-brief (OPQOL-brief) and Lubben Social Network Scale will be applied to the participants. To determine the reliability of the "Social Frailty Index", older adults who do not receive any treatment will be tested and re-tested at one-week intervals.
The aim of this quasi-experimental study was to assess the effectiveness of a 6-week online exercise program on self-assessed quality of life (QoL), physical activity (PA), and dysfunctions of pelvic floor muscles of postpartum women immediately and 6 months after the online intervention. The data were collected with e-questionnaires. The data collection started in September 2021 and ended in September 2023.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a pilot peer support intervention, entitled "Kanasina Gulabi" (Translation "My Dream Rose" in Kannada), designed to improve quality of life and diabetes management among young adults living with type 2 diabetes. The intervention, delivered by non-specialist providers - trained young adult peer navigators who are also managing type 2 diabetes - is expected to improve physical and mental health outcomes among participants. The sample includes young adults aged 18-40 with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in Mysore district, South India. Participants were quasi-randomly allocated to the intervention or control group. With the support of their peer navigators, intervention participants will develop action plans to improve their physical and mental health outcomes. This study plans to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the intervention.
The study is a Turkish validity and reliability study of the Laval questionnaire.
The goal of this observational study is to show the patient discomfort during their stay in intensive care is directly linked to the occurrence of a post ICU syndrome at 3 months. The main questions it aims to answer are : - Evaluate the value of the IPREA score on quality of life impairment a 3 months ; - Identify the 3 areas of discomfort most associated with progression to a post ICU syndrome at 3 months ; - Define a threshold value for the IPREA score ; - Correlate clinical assessment and psychological follow-up with the to the prediction of a post ICU syndrome ; - Establish a correlation between IPREA score and time to first rise - Establish a correlation between identified factors of post ICU syndrome and IPREA score
The aim of this study is to investigate objectively the effect of lymphatic fluid which is circulated with Complex Decongestive Therapy on fluid excretion from the body in patients with lymphedema.
This study aims to evaluate and compare the change on occlusion after placing stainless steel crowns (SCC) using Hall technique and conventional technique in children between the ages of 5-8. In addition, the investigators planned to analyze the change in oral health-related quality of life between SCC applied with the Hall technique and SCC applied with the conventional method, before and after clinical application.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the physiological and molecular effects of exercise training in transplant recipients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can exercise training improve physical fitness and muscle strength in transplant recipients? 2. Can exercise training modulate inflammatory profile, hormones, lipid profile, and exercise-induced molecules in transplant recipients? 3. Can exercise training improve blood pressure and endothelial health in transplant patients? Participants will be invited to an exercise training program 6-month after their transplant surgery. Body composition, physical assessment, and blood draw will be assessed at baseline and 12-weeks after exercise or control regimen. Researchers will compare exercise group vs. routine care group to see if exercise training impact the health-related outcomes of this population.
The purpose of this study was to test the effects of resourcefulness group intervention on facilitating recovery and improving the quality of life in patients with chronic schizophrenia.
Kidney transplantation is the main option besides hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) to prolong and improve the quality of life for patients with end-stage renal disease. The main option for obtaining organs from living donors is surgical action to remove the kidney (nephrectomy) using the laparoscopic method (laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy or LLDN). Postoperative management of LDNH in the form of intravenous paracetamol 1000 mg cannot overcome innovative pain and has drug-related risk effects. Non-pharmacological pain management is the first line of pain management. One non-pharmacological therapy that can be an option is acupuncture. Thread embedding acupuncture (TEA) is an acupuncture method that uses certain medical threads such as catgut or polydioxanone (PDO) which are inserted into subcutaneous tissue or muscle at certain acupuncture points. The working mechanism of TEA in treating pain is through local mechanisms in the form of releasing adenosine which binds to adenosine A1 receptors, releasing substance P, inhibiting the expression and activation of Nuclear Factor Kappa B; through a segmental mechanism in the form of a control gate mechanism; through extrasegmental mechanisms in the form of downward pain inhibition pathways; through a central mechanism in the form of release of endogenous opioids in the hypothalamus. ATB can provide a continuous stimulating effect of infiltration and acceleration of tissue regeneration, increasing anti-pain.
