The first phase of the study aims to study the incidence of near-falls. The second phase will be to develop a scale which operationalize balance recovery confidence in the older adults. This study will determine the incidence of near-falls in a sample of community-dwelling older adults and will develop the Balance Recovery Falls-Efficacy scale (BRFES) for the community-dwelling older adults using the COSMIN method. This scale will be used to measure the confidence level of the community-dwelling older adults in their ability to execute balance recovery maneuvers in common, everyday functional activities to prevent a fall.
The killing of young black men by police officers is a major public health issue and is a clear health disparity. Black men are 21 times more likely to be fatally shot by a police officer than white men. Homicide is the second-leading cause of death of black males, ages 15-34. It is disconcerting to consider that this statistic includes homicide by police officer. Pediatricians have an opportunity to contribute to violence prevention efforts and social justice advocacy for young black men in regards to interactions with police officers. We seek to engage residents in social justice advocacy by preparing them to discuss safely navigating police encounters with young black males. Adverse police encounters can result in poor mental health outcomes, physical trauma, and death. We will develop a conversation script with input from existing expert resources, black male youth, and their caregivers. The script will be patient-centered and will be used to facilitate a conversation about safely navigating encounters with police officers. Utilizing a train-the-trainer model, attending pediatric physicians will be trained to use the script in their practice as well as model and demonstrate how to use the script for pediatric residents. We hypothesize that pediatric residents trained in the conversation script will be empowered to facilitate discussions on safely navigating police encounters in the primary care clinic setting and will exhibit increased comfort and greater levels of self-efficacy from baseline measures.
A randomized control trial of a videogame intervention to assess and improve school climate.
This study explores the experience of physiotherapists and patients using the Pain Navigator Tool during outpatient musculoskeletal consultations.
It is hypothesised to find that the new mindfulness intervention of Mindfulness Based Swinging Technique (MBST) for Women With Breast Cancer is an effective therapeutic intervention to be applied in breast cancer population. This intervention intended to support patients' management of their chronic illness (self-efficacy) by increasing their hope about their treatment and alleviate anxiety, as well as increase patient saturation level. Therefore, enabling patients to continue to their medical as well as psychological treatment will result improved anxiety, stress levels, hope and self-efficacy. It is known that mental health needs of cancer patients differ from people who do not suffer from a chronic illness.
The aim of this study is to study the effectiveness of interprofessional advanced cardiac life support (IP-ACLS) training in improving collaborative skills, self-efficacy and emotion regulation among fourth-year nursing students using a prospective, open-label, non-randomized controlled design. The investigators hypothesized that students who participated in the IP-ACLS training are more likely to have better: 1. collaborative skills 2. self-efficacy 3. emotion regulation.
The aim of the study is to design and pilot the effect of a complex intervention to support mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy and professional self-efficacy to support breastfeeding families, considering breastfeeding as a health promoting behavior. Specific objectives are the evaluation of feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, and estimate the preliminary effect on maternal and professional self-efficacy.
Parents and education staff who work with children with intellectual disabilities (ID) are known to be at a higher risk of experiencing psychological distress. This study evaluates whether a therapeutic group for parents and education staff who work with children with ID is effective in reducing psychological distress and if so, how it does this and who it works for. The group will include two components: an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) section and a section about positive behaviour support (PBS). ACT is a psychological therapy, the aim of which is to help people to live their lives based on what matters to them, whilst learning new ways of managing difficult thoughts and feelings. The PBS section aims to help participants to learn how to use positive strategies to reduce challenging behaviour. Both interventions have been shown to be effective on their own, but this study will examine if combining the two is helpful. Parents of children with ID and education staff who work closely with children with ID attending chosen schools or learning disability child and adolescent mental health services in NHS Lothian will be invited to participate in the study. The group will take place on three half days. Participants will complete questionnaires on the first and last day of the group and six weeks after it has finished. The questionnaires will be about psychological distress, confidence in caring for children with ID and seeing if the group changed how they cope with thoughts and feelings. Participants will also be invited to a focus group, which will think about if the intervention was helpful, and if so how it helped. If the group is effective, the investigators would hope to research the intervention in more depth with the aim of it being offered more widely in the future.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of three, brief (10-minute) theory-guided video chats for increasing self-efficacy for lifestyle physical activity versus a time-matched video chat comparison group designed to increase self-efficacy for work-life balance. Participants will include individuals who are low-active, full-time (>35 hours/week) working adults.
