Filter by:The purpose of this study is to refine and pilot test a mobile health (mHealth), video-based family management program for parents of preterm infants hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). By moving beyond the basic infant care tasks taught by parenting programs and instead comprehensively training parents to use evidence-based family management skills, we hypothesize that our intervention, called PREEMIE PROGRESS, will better equip parents to meet the chronic, complex healthcare needs of their preterm infant.
This study is a 2-years project. The year 1 project: to assess the effectiveness of implementation of the program in patients with HN. The experimental research design of 2×2 randomized controlled trial with pre and post-testing will be adopted. A total of 70 subjects will be enrolled, and 35 subjects will be randomized into the control group (conventional program) and experimental group (patient-centered self-management program), respectively, using the single-blind design. Firstly, this study will collect the pretest data of the control group and experimental group. The data to be collected include physiological indicators, physical and psychological health, self-efficacy, self-management, and satisfaction, etc. The experimental group will receive the 4-week intervention of program after the pre-test. This study will assess the effectiveness of intervention 1 month later. This study will use generalized estimating equation (GEE) to collect the longitudinal data and test the effectiveness of implementation of program in patients with HN at different time points (after 1, 3, and 6 months). It is expected that the completion of this research project may help improve the effective disease control in the care for patients with HN in Taiwan and improve self-management of disease. Hopefully, the incidence of patients with dialysis can be significantly reduced and the progression into ESRD in patients can be effectively delayed. Moreover, this study also intends propose specific suggestions about the care of patients with HN for industry, government, and academia.
After development of the prototype Bedtime Routine module of the Talk Parenting program, the investigators will evaluate its feasibility and initial efficacy in a within-subjects pre-post design study. Through recruitment partner agencies, the investigators will recruit a sample of 52 at-risk families (52 primary parents, 52 target children). Primary parents will be assessed at enrollment via online an questionnaire, then provided an Amazon Echo Dot and asked to use the Bedtime Routine module for 4 weeks. They will then be re-assessed with the online questionnaire at 4 weeks (at treatment completion).
This study was planned to examine the effect of telephone support for breastfeeding follow-up on physiological jaundice, exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months, infantile colic, maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy, and breastfeeding success.
The pregnant women constituting the sample were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 was given only childbirth education (Group-ED), group 2 was given childbirth education and was subjected to a birth plan (Group-ED&P), and group 3 was the control group, each including 51 pregnant women.
The aim of this study is to explore the overall effectiveness of interventions using mobile health care to improve disease perception, self-efficacy, anxiety, cardio-pulmonary fitness for patients with acute myocardial infarction.
These caregivers are a vulnerable group due to their physical isolation and well-documented rural disparities in health care access and quality. Many rural dementia caregivers experience serious health consequences due to caregiving responsibilities that can limit their ability to maintain their caregiving role. Thus, there is a pressing need for effective, scalable, and accessible programs to support rural dementia caregivers. Online programs offer a convenient and readily translatable option for program delivery because they can be accessed by caregivers in the home and at the convenience of the user. Building Better Caregivers is an online 6-week, interactive, small-group self-management, social support, and skills-building workshop developed for caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia. The investigators will conduct a hybrid effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial that will enroll and randomize 640 rural dementia caregivers into two groups: the intervention (workshop) group and the attention control group. Caregivers will be recruited throughout the United States. Primary outcomes will be caregiver stress and depression symptoms. The investigators hypothesize that stress scores and depression symptoms will be significantly improved at 12 months in the intervention group versus control group. The investigators will also identify key strengths (facilitators) and weaknesses (barriers) of workshop implementation. The investigators will use the RE-AIM implementation framework and a mixed methods approach to identify implementation characteristics pertinent to both caregivers and rural community organizations. If the Building Better Caregivers workshop is proven to be effective, this research has the potential to open new research horizons, particularly on how to reach and effectively support isolated dementia caregivers in rural areas with an intervention that is scalable, even in low-resourced settings. If the workshop can achieve its goals with rural dementia caregivers, some of those most isolated, it would also be expected to be scalable in other low-resourced settings (e.g., in urban or suburban environments).
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.
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).
