Filter by:assess the activity and toxicity of second-line treatment with pazopanib after failure of first-line sunitinib treatment in patients with clear cell mRCC; to investigate the potential association of DLL4, Notch1, VEGFA, PDGFRB, HIF-1α and HIF-2α with clinical response to pazopanib in mRCC patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of complementary therapies delivered via mobile technologies have a therapeutic effect on surgical patients' anxiety, pain, and self-efficacy in healing reports before, following, and at 10-day follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of various types of simulation preparation methods on novice nurses' competence and self-efficacy. Participants will be recruited from an academic course (N424 Integrated Practicum). Participants will be randomized to three intervention groups (i.e. expert modeling video, voice over PowerPoint, and traditional readings). All participants will complete self-efficacy surveys and two simulations. During simulation, participants will be scored based on their competence according to a performance rubric. The hypothesis is that participants in the expert modeling group will demonstrate more change in competence and report more change in self-efficacy scores than participants in other groups.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether citizens experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression will benefit from a self-management training program with respect to: 1) Self-efficacy, and 2) Symptoms of anxiety and depression, and 3) Self reported measures of Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL)
The goal of this research is to develop and pilot the NICU-2-Home service, a health information technology (IT) concept centered on a smart phone app. NICU-2-Home will provide support to parents of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants as they transition from the NICU to their homes and eventually establish a medical home with the infant's pediatrician. Once the app is developed, we will conduct a feasibility study with randomization to pilot test the ability of NICU-2-Home app to (a) improve parent's self-efficacy and confidence in caring for their VLBW infant, (b) decrease parental stress, and (c) enhance involvement with their VLBW infants compared to controls.
the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-dose，pulsatile Erlotinib/Gefitinib in advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients after failure of standard dose EGFR-TKIs（Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors）
Self-efficacy predicts behavioural and rehabilitation outcomes and may be an important psychological factor for wheelchair mobility. A feasibility study will evaluate a novel self-efficacy enhanced wheelchair training intervention for older adults (WheelSeeU) to determine if: 1.WheelSeeU is feasible to administer; 2. WheelSeeU improves wheelchair use, confidence for wheelchair use, wheelchair mobility, and satisfaction with participation in older adults compared to group-based information sessions; and 3. the study design is appropriate. This feasibility study will allow for study design and protocol refinement and will provide pilot data for an experimental trial.
Self-efficacy predicts behavioural and rehabilitation outcomes and may be an important psychological factor for wheelchair mobility. A feasibility study will evaluate a novel self-efficacy enhanced wheelchair training intervention (WheelSee) to determine if: 1.WheelSee improves self-efficacy compared to standard care; 2. study design is appropriate; and 3. The WheelSee intervention protocol is suitable. This feasibility study will allow for study design and protocol refinement and will provide pilot data for an experimental trial.
Safety and Efficacy of Ginsenoside Rg3 in Combination with First-line Chemotherapy in Advanced Gastric Cancer.The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of Ginsenoside Rg3 in advanced gastric cancer, and whether it improves the efficacy of first-line chemotherapy.
The National Institute for Health Research commissioned this research with the following research question: "What is the relative effectiveness and cost effectiveness of home based support programmes in improving the mental wellbeing of older people living in their own homes?" The project will evaluate whether telephone friendship groups, delivered by the voluntary sector over the telephone, can improve the mental wellbeing of older people aged 75 or over. The research will also: 1. Identify the psychosocial and environmental factors, as well as implementation issues that may mediate or modify the effectiveness of the intervention using qualitative methods. This will include examining: 1.1. Assess voluntary sector readiness to take forward new forms of services; 1.2. The best modes of delivery of telephone support/friendship; 1.3. Assess how volunteers (facilitators) can be supported and retained; and, 1.4. The extent to which fidelity of the intervention is maintained within and across the participating organisations. 2. Determine if there is any lasting impact upon mental wellbeing by repeat measurement with all participants 12 months following baseline measurement 3. Examine whether there is any significant improvement on the physical dimension of the SF-36 at 6 months and 12 months, following baseline measure, for the intervention arm compared with usual care. 4. Measure the extent of use of health and social care, and community facilities by participants over time to determine whether the intervention is cost effective compared with usual care.
