Filter by:The Learning Skills Together (LST) program is a synchronous web-based educational intervention developed to address the essential need for training to equip family caregivers to someone with mid-stage Alzheimer's disease to confidently provide complex care tasks.The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of delivering LST, the program's acceptability to caregivers, and likelihood of effecting caregivers self-efficacy and mastery.
This research study examines the unique cultural and gender-based factors that influence how midlife Black women experience stress and incorporate healthy lifestyle behaviors into daily life. The B-SWELL intervention uses stress reduction and goal setting to increase self efficacy in adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors. The B-SWELL intervention will be compared to an inattention control wellness group in a randomized control trial. The long-term outcome is to decrease cardiovascular disease risk in this high-risk population, midlife Black women.
Quantitative study: The main objective is to analyze whether personal skills related to behaviours are independently associated with the incidence of morbidity. Study with quantitative and qualitative methodology. Multicenter project (10 teams) for the creation of a cohort of 3083 people aged 35 to 74 years of 9 Autonomous Communities (AACC). The personal variables that will be evaluated are: self-efficacy, activation, health literacy, resilience, locus of control and personality traits. Socio-demographic covariates, social capital and community health assets will be recorded. As a secondary objective, it will be analyzed whether personal skills are independently associated with lower all cause mortality, better adoption of healthy lifestyles, higher quality of life and less utilization of health services in follow-up. A physical examination, a blood analytical and a cognitive evaluation will be carried out. The incidence of morbidity will be analyzed with a Cox model for each of the six independent variables (objective 1); and mortality from all causes and from the other dependent variables (objective 2). The models will be adjusted by the indicated covariables. The possible heterogeneity between (AACC) will be estimated by introducing random effects into the model. Qualitative study: To deepen in the opinions and experiences of the population on the relationship between personal skills with their perception of health, their lifestyles and their quality of life. The research will be carried out from a phenomenological perspective. The number of discussion groups needed to reach the saturation of speeches will be made. There will be an analysis of thematic content that will be triangulated between members of the research team. The meanings will be interpreted and an explanatory framework will be created with the contributions of each type of informant.
The purpose of this study is to validate the Brain Injury Self-Efficacy Scale as a measure of self-efficacy in brain injury by comparing it with other measures of self-efficacy, the GSE, and PROMIS self-efficacy.
This study will test a problem-solving and support intervention for caregivers of veterans with stroke. The investigators will assign caregivers to one for four groups: 4-session intervention, 8-session intervention, attention control (active listening), or standard care. The investigators will assess the impact of the intervention on caregiver outcomes (depression, burden, stress, problem-solving abilities, self-efficacy, and quality of life) and veteran outcomes (functional abilities).
The goal of this study is to pilot test a 12-week behavioral intervention among perimenopausal Latinas (age 40-55 years) that integrates evidence-based education with physical activity, stress management, and coping skills training to: 1) reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and arterial stiffness; 2) improve nutrition, physical activity, and sleep behaviors; and 3) improve stress management, coping strategies, and self-efficacy. This study will recruit participants from two community groups: one group will be randomly assigned to complete the intervention; the other will be a wait-list control.
Elderly patients have the deficiency of motivation and confidence in self-management that are mainly influenced by physiological function, social psychology, emotion and low health literacy, resulting in poor self-management and glycemic control. According to the study, elderly patients can learn the skill of self-management more effectively through the peer leaders who have the same culture background, the life experience in disease care and the successful self-management experiences. The Self-Management Program of diabetes for the elderly will be in progress with the peer leadership concept.( the Peer-Led Self-Management Program). The aim of the pilot study was to explore the feasibility and effects of the Peer-Led Self-Management Program (PLSM). This pilot study uses two groups of block randomized controlled trials with pretest and posttest study. The test group will conduct a four-week Peer-Led Self-Management Program and the general outpatient care while the control group will implement the general outpatient care. In this study, the physiological parameters of Diabetes were used to evaluate the difference between the pre-and post-intervention measures.
The main objective of the proposed research is to experimentally test and inform the most effective brand attributes that is to be featured in the forthcoming Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Adults. Specifically, there are two main objectives. The first objective is to determine the most preferred tagline associated with the new Guidelines among a sample of Canadian adults. The second objective is to experimentally test if this new attribute fosters stronger perceptions of self-efficacy among an adult sample, when compared to previous threshold-based approaches.
This study evaluates the effect of Personalized Patient Engagement Plan on diabetes management in patients with at least six months of Type-2 Diabetes. The research is planned to be carried out as an experimental study with pretest-posttest control groups. Half of the participants will receive the Personalized Patient Engagement Plan; between two 2 face-to-face sessions including motivational interviews, one telephone coaching call and patient-driven home-based exercises will be conducted. Another half will receive usual care.
This study aims to investigate the effect of education and tele-consultancy intervention based on Watson's Human Care Theory on self-efficacy and quality of life of individuals with COPD.
