Filter by: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.
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.

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.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of telephone symptom triage protocols on symptom management, quality of life and self-maintenance in patients with cancer who applied systemic treatment. The study is a randomized controlled experimental study. Pan-Canadian Oncology Symptom Triage and Remote Support (COSTaRS) guides were translated into Turkish and expert opinions were obtained. The sample of the study included 70 cancer (35 interventions and 35 controls) patients who were treated with chemotherapy were randomized into the computer program. According to the interference protocol of the study: Preliminary interviews were conducted with the newly diagnosed patients in the control and intervention groups. Preliminary tests (Personal Information Form, Chemotherapy Symptom Assessment Scale, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Form-General - FACT-G (Version 4) Quality of Life Scale and Self-Care Power Scale) were performed after obtaining consent. After the pre-tests, the patients who were included in the intervention group were given the symptom triage protocol usage guide created according to the symptom triage protocol. The patients were informed by the researcher about the content and use of the guideline. The patients included in the intervention group were searched by the researcher on the 3rd, 7th and 10th days after each chemotherapy for 3 cycles of chemotherapy. During the three-month follow-ups, patients were able to call the investigator 7/24 to request symptom triage. In accordance with the Remote Symptom Management Guidelines for Adults Treated with Cancer, patient triage was performed for symptom management and patients were referred to the appropriate sources according to the severity of the symptom. The patients in the control group did not undergo any intervention other than routine hospital follow-up. Patients who were included in the control and intervention groups were subjected to final tests at the hospital after 3 months.
- Stroke is the third leading cause of death worldwide and is defined as neurological deficit due to ischemic or hemorrhagic causes. The risk of death in the 30 days following recurrent stroke was reported to be between 23% and 41%, and the risk of new disability was between 39% and 53%. Therefore, patient self-management is important in preventing recurrent stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of education and telephone follow-up based on the Chronic Care Model on self-management, quality of life and patient satisfaction in patients with ischemic stroke. The study is a randomized controlled experimental study. A total of 68 patients (34 interventions and 34 controls) were randomized into a computer program with 80% power, 95% reliability and 0.05 margin of error. Patients were included in the study according to the inclusion criteria and randomization list. The self-management support component of the Chronic Care Model was implemented using the 5A (ASK, ADVICE, ASSESS, ASSIST, ARRANGE) methodology. The Conceptual-Theoretical-Experimental structure of the research was created. A training booklet for stroke patients was created within the scope of the Chronic Care Model self-management support component. After the pre-tests, the patients who were included in the intervention group were given discharge training with a booklet prepared based on the Chronic Care Model and containing information and recommendations on self-management strategies during their stay in the hospital (0 months). These patients were followed up by telephone on the 7th day, 15th day, 1st month and 2nd month after discharge. No intervention other than routine hospital follow-up was performed for the patients included in the control group. - The patients who were included in the control and intervention groups were performed to post-tests at the 3rd month outpatient clinic control and metabolic variables of the patients were obtained from the patient clinical information system.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based education given to individuals with substance-use disorder according to Self-Efficacy Theory on self-efficacy perception. Sample was 112 (ewperimental group: 56; control group: 56) alpha=0,05 and power=0,80 et the and of study. The experimental group recevied, prepared in accordance with mindfulness, self-efficacy theory psychoeducation program, the control group received routine care. Data were collected 2 times: pretest, 2 month after intervention (for experimental group) and 2 month after pretest (for control group).

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Meleis 'Transition Theory based health improvement monitoring program on infants' development, maternal attachment and parental self-efficacy in 36-40 weeks of gestation and in the first and fourth months after birth. Sample was 64 (experimental group:32; control group: 32), alfa=0,05 and power=0.80 at the end of study. The experimental group received nursing interventions based on Meleis' Transition Theory, while the control group received routine primary health care. Data were collected 3 times: pretest, 3 and 7 months after intervention (for experimental group) and 3 and 7 months after pretest (for control group).
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.
