This intervention study evaluates the effectiveness of a digital game intervention supporting smoking refusal self-efficacy among early adolescents (10-13 y). The participants are randomly allocated to two groups: the experimental group that receives the digital game intervention, and the control group that receives no intervention.
This study concluded that lung rehabilitation exercise programs can improve the psychological distress, self-efficacy, quality of life, six-minute walk distance, muscle strength, and reduce the number of hospitalizations for patients with advanced lung cancer.
This cluster randomized controlled trial will evaluate a community-based bicycle safety education program with and without an in-person parent training component. The investigators will recruit 180 early adolescent bicyclists (ages 9 to 12) and a parent/guardian from local neighborhood centers after school and summer programs, where the investigators have conducted preliminary studies. Randomization into the three study groups will occur at the site-level. Adolescent bicycles in all study group sites will be equipped with Pedal Portal, an innovative bicycle-mounted GPS/video system developed by the research team to objectively observe bicycling risk exposure and behaviors while bicycling. System data will be coded to measure bicycling exposure (hours, miles traveled, routes) and the types and rates of safety-relevant events (near crashes, crashes), and safety-relevant behaviors (e.g., following traffic rules, scanning for traffic at intersections). This will be the first randomized trial to use GPS and video technology to evaluate the effectiveness of a youth bicycle safety intervention in changing behavior. The control group will not receive any bicycle safety education programming. Participants in the first intervention group (Bike Club) will receive a 12-hour bicycle safety education program. Participants in the second intervention group (Bike Club Plus) will receive an enhanced version of the 12-hour bicycle safety education program which will include a parent training session on bicycling safety best practices, child development as it relates to bicycling, strategies for practice at home, and feedback on their adolescent's bicycling performance. The investigators' main hypotheses are that adolescents who receive the bicycle safety intervention will have increased safety behaviors (e.g., helmet use, hazard recognition), reduced errors (e.g., riding against traffic, swerving/wobbling), and increased knowledge, perceptions, and self-efficacy compared to the control group; and adolescents whose parent receives the parent training will have even greater improvements in study outcomes than those whose parents do not receive the training. If successful, approaches from this study could be widely implemented to improve adolescent bicycling safety.
Every year, 1 million women cease breastfeeding (BF) before 6 months, the minimum time required for optimal maternal well-being and infant's health, physical growth, and development. The highest rate of BF cessation occurs within 3 weeks after birth, with 30% of women ceasing BF due to acute breast and nipple pain (BNP). BNP is a complex and understudied biobehavioral phenomenon involving nociceptive signalling that stimulates multiple pain pathways. Women who experience BNP beyond BF initiation report lower BF self-efficacy a key predictor of BF at 6 months, increased maternal distress symptoms, and may differ across races contributing to differences in early BF cessation rates. The investigators developed and tested a 6-week nurse-led and participant-informed, Breastfeeding and Breast and Nipple Pain Self-Management (BSM) intervention guided by the Individual and Family Self-Management Theory. Aligned with the needs and preferences elicited from a diverse sample of BF participants, the investigators used a cloud-based platform, to deliver BF knowledge and skills, and provided support through nurse-led text-based communication to decrease BNP, increase BF self-efficacy, decrease burdensome face-to-face visits, and increase adaptive coping behaviors. Participants in the BSM intervention group reported significantly reduced BNP intensity at 1 and 2 weeks which predicted increased BF self-efficacy and decreased anxiety at 6 weeks. Based on these promising results, the investigators propose to examine the efficacy of the BSM intervention in an R56 RCT, Promoting Self-Management of Breast and Nipple Pain Using Technology (PROMPT) for Breastfeeding Women to decrease BNP intensity and interference and increase BF exclusivity. The study will reproduce and extend the pilot findings by exploring in a diverse population of BF participants, how participants' pain sensitivity affects BNP. The study will explore the moderating role of BNP, and maternal well-being symptoms of fatigue, depressive symptoms, anxiety, and sleep, pain, pain coping, and maternal self-efficacy, on BF exclusivity. Participants (N = 222) intending to breastfeed will be randomized to the BSM intervention or the attention control group with assessments performed at baseline, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 weeks. Study results will advance knowledge on the BSM intervention, with direct implications for nurse-designed and led self-management interventions in clinical settings or health care systems.
In prenatal education, pregnant women's knowledge is a crucial issue for protecting pregnant women and newborns healthy. Therefore, prenatal education has become a basic and essential program for each pregnant woman. However, most of the current prenatal education courses are taught via a group teaching approach, which makes it difficult for pregnant women to think deeply about relevant birth issues due to the lack of interaction and context. This may in turn have an impact on childbirth choice and clinical judgment.
Primary child healthcare in Sweden is an important arena for health promotion interventions as nurses regularly meet parents and children from birth to five years of age. To date there is a lack of evidence-based material for child healthcare nurses to use in health promotion talks within primary child healthcare. Therefore, the aims of this study are to: (i) evaluate the effectiveness of Saga Stories in health talks on parental self-efficacy to promote healthy diet, physical activity, and screen time behaviours in 5-year-old children and (ii) evaluate the implementation of Saga Stories in health talks with regards to acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, adoption, sustainability, satisfaction, and usage.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a physical activity tracking program called FitEx would be useful to endometrial cancer survivors. Each interested endometrial cancer survivor will recruit 1 to 5 additional friends/family members to participate in the intervention with them, forming a team. Each team will be randomized to FitExEC (control group) that receives FitEx for endometrial cancer survivors, or FitExEC+yoga (experimental group) that receives FitEx for endometrial cancer survivors plus yoga cueing. FitExEC is based on FitEx, a program used to encourage adults to improve their fruit and vegetable intake while increasing their physical activity. FitEx works by having participants join a team with their friends and loved ones, so they can support one another in meeting their goals. In this study, teams of endometrial cancer survivors/support members will receive watches that track how much they walk. Each day, participants record how much exercise, how many fruits, and how many vegetables they've eaten that day for a total of 8 weeks. Participants will be encouraged to attend a virtual session 15 minutes per week that will focus on 1-mile worth of exercise points (all control) or 15 minutes of yoga (all experimental) followed by 15 minutes of support (endometrial cancer survivors only [control and experimental survivors in different groups]). Participation in the study lasts roughly 10 weeks, and participants will be followed for 6 months afterward. The investigators think that FitEx may help people with endometrial cancer improve their daily physical activity and slowly improve their health and quality of life. The investigators hypothesize this intervention is feasible and acceptable to Carilion Clinic endometrial cancer survivors.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) safety video on clinician anxiety and perceived self-efficacy.
Aim: The aim of this study to determine the effect of motivational interviews on the perception and self-efficacy of birth in nullipars with a perception of traumatic birth. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in a randomized controlled, between November 2019 and November 2020 in the obstetrics outpatient clinics of Elazig Fethi Sekin City Hospital. In the power analysis, the sample size was calculated as at least 83 pregnant women for each group (83 experiment, 83 control). Data were collected with Descriptive Information Form, Traumatic Childbirth Perceptions Scale (TCPS) and Childbirth of Self-Efficacy Scale-Short From (CBSE). Pregnant women in the experimental group were held with four sessions of motivational interviews one week a part. No intervention was made for the pregnant women in the control group. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, t test for dependent and independent groups were used in data analysis
