Filter by:In the randomized controlled study, the aim is to compare the effect of flipped classroom, peer-supported and traditional education on the knowledge and skills of nursing students in stoma care and on academic self-efficacy. The sample consisted of 106 nursing students who studied at the Nursing Faculty. The data was collected using the Personal Information Form, the Stoma Care Skill Rubric, Stoma care information form, and the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale in Nursing Undergraduate Students The data will be analyzed using the number, percentage, average, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, median, skewness and kurtosis, Mann-Whitney U Test, Spearman Rho Correlation Test.
This "SeApp" study aims to test a self-efficacy Ecological Momentary Intervention (EMI) in healthy students in the context of COVID-19. EMIs are mostly smartphone-based applications that deliver interventions to people while being engaged in their daily life activities. The app harnesses the power of self-efficacy autobiographical memories (e.g. problem-solving memories, memories of success). Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMAs) are also incorporated into the study to capture individuals' feelings, affect, and behavior in real time.
The goal of the RESTART RCT is to examine whether a complex lifestyle intervention, coordinated with municipal and non-government organizations (NGO), can establish and preserve improvements in risk factors and functional capacity among older adults at high risk of cardiometabolic disease. The main objectives to investigate are whether a complex lifestyle intervention, compared to an active control group, will at 24 months have: 1. Produced a clinically relevant increase in cardiorespiratory fitness (primary endpoint) 2. Increased muscle strength, physical activity and reduced adiposity 3. Improved body composition, health-related quality of life and cognitive function All participants (Control and Intervention Groups) are provided with wrist-worn activity trackers at baseline and access to national recommendations on physical activity. The intervention group additionally advances through a comprehensive lifestyle program including high-intensity aerobic and strength exercise, dietary and behavioral counselling. Intervention participants are gradually transitioned into exercise activities organized by Tromsø Municipaity and local NGO:s. Testing of outcomes are performed at baseline, 6, 12 and 24 months. Primary endpoint (VO2max) is assessed at 24 months.
This study will consist of a randomized controlled trial of a motivational interviewing intervention for adolescents with diagnosed sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The sessions will provide HIV/STI prevention education, use motivational interviewing (MI) to enhance goal setting, and providing skill building and referral to evidence based STI and HIV prevention strategies Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), condom use, and partner notification.
Medication adherence is a critical aspect of achieving optimal health outcomes. Thirty to 50% of patients adhere to long-term medication treatment of chronic diseases. Non adherence has been shown to result in worsening disease, increased healthcare expenditures, complications and even death. Medically underserved communities have higher rates of medication nonadherence and a higher prevalence of chronic conditions and often receive care at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) which are reporting caring for increasingly complex chronic conditions. Smartphone mobile phone ownership has increased to 76% in low income Americans, but this population has been underrepresented in mobile health intervention studies. This two-group, cluster randomized by site, randomized controlled trial will investigate the effect of a medication adherence smartphone mobile application (app) which provides reminders on patient medication adherence, on medication self-efficacy, medication knowledge and medication social support. Independently, each of these concepts have been shown to support medication adherence. However in the context of delivery by a medication adherence app in a variety of chronic illnesses in a medically underserved population, little is known. It will also explore if those who accessed educational materials within the app report greater medication knowledge than those who do not and if participants who choose to use the additional Medfriend feature report greater medication social support than those who do not. The study will also explore patients' perceptions on the usefulness and satisfaction with the app features.
This study will test a stigma reduction intervention with women living with HIV in Tanzania.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily causes pain, swelling and stiffness in the joints. The disease may reduce normal functioning and thereby quality of life. Patient education (PE), with the aim of supporting patients to self-manage their disease is an important part of the treatment and care to patients with RA. PE supports people in living with RA by offering knowledge of the disease, symptoms and treatment as well as guidance in coping with the disease in everyday life. In recent years, the number of people with RA has risen and in general people lives longer. This places new demands on the healthcare system for alternatives to conventional care, e.g. through web technology and remote care. Often PE is provided through face-to-face interactions with health professionals at the hospital and thus far, only a small number of studies have been conducted within the area of web-based PE targeting people with RA. A few studies within RA and other chronic diseases shows that online tools and online educational programs may enhance patient's knowledge of the disease and treatment and improve self-management and quality of life. Internet and technology is a great part of everyday life, however, variation is seen in computer skills and likewise in health literacy skills. Even so, PE based on web technology may have several advantages, e.g. the accessibility and the possibility to seek for information as needed and repeatedly in familiar surroundings and possibly with relatives. Moreover, the integration of words and images can promote deeper understanding and learning since both auditory and visual channels are used. Possible disadvantages may be related to the absence of face-to-face contact with healthcare professionals. Given the need for alternative solutions to the conventional face-to-face contact, the investigators have developed an e-learning program targeting newly diagnosed patients with RA. The purpose of the program is to support self-management of the disease. The program takes into consideration peoples different competencies and assumptions by presenting information in an easy, inspiring and entertaining way. The program consists of three learning modules covering knowledge of the disease, medication, examinations, complications and daily living with RA, e.g. coping with emotions, pain, fatigue, physical activity, work etc. In keeping with different ways of learning and to support people's different competencies, the program offers a combination of animations, graphics, videos, podcasts, quizzes, written text and spoken words. Given the limited evidence about the effectiveness of web-based PE in RA, the intention behind the study is to evaluate the e-learning program. The project will be divided into three parts. In the first part the effect of the e-learning program will be evaluated. Approximately 200-230 patients from four rheumatology clinics in Denmark will be included. Half of the participants will receive education at home through the e-learning program and the other half will receive conventional education at the hospital. The effect of PE will be evaluated through questionnaires covering self-efficacy, knowledge of RA and medication, medication taking, health literacy skills and quality of life. Additionally, disease activity, physical functioning, pain and fatigue will be measured. Furthermore, the investigators will examine the use of the e-learning program, such as time consumption and completed modules. Finally, telephone contacts from patients to the outpatient clinics will be measured to investigate possible causal relationships between the information provided through PE and the need for additional information or guidance related to self-management. The number of out-patient visits in the clinic will also be measured. In the second part the investigators will explore the perceptions of receiving PE through the e-learning program from the perspective of patients with RA. This will be explored through individually interviews with approximately 20-25 patients. In the third part the complexities in the e-learning program to improve chances of success in implementation of the technology in clinical practice, i.e. outside the project, will be explored. Through focus group interviews with nurses and doctors involved in the project, the investigators will explore perspectives of using the program. The interviews will be based on a framework covering both successes, challenges and failures in relation to the technology, the patient group, values and the organisation. Furthermore, the investigators will revisit the patient interviews from the second part in order to obtain information about these aspects from the patient perspective. The investigators hypothesize that the e-learning PE program will be superior to standard face-to-face PE in improving self-efficacy.
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.
Telehealth is a means of providing care from a distance, at the convenience of the patient. This study will be testing the addition of Telehealth visits (TH) to the standard of care (SOC) following discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This study will be used to determine whether Telehealth appointments post-NICU discharge can improve the experiences of parents in caring for their infant and reduce the number of health care visits they have with their infant within three months post-NICU discharge. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to two groups. One group will receive the standard of care, which means they will have an appointment in place with a primary care provider, pediatrician or return visit to the NICU post discharge. The second group will have the standard of care described above and two Telehealth visits within the first week at home with their infant. The study will explore the experiences of parents of NICU infants following their discharge from NICU, both those receiving standard of care (SOC) and the Telehealth monitoring intervention. Participants will be required to complete surveys online at 5 time periods: when parents decide to be part of the study, prior to discharge from NICU, 1 day after discharge, 2 days following the primary care provider visit and at 3 months following discharge from NICU. The questionnaires used will measure parental anxiety levels and parental confidence. The number of infant visits to the primary care provider, pediatrician, emergency department and NICU will also be collected at three months post-NICU discharge. A subset of participants (from both SOC and TH groups) will further participate in semi-structured interviews about their experiences in the NICU and caring for their children after discharge. NICU clinicians who consent will participate in semi-structured interviews about their experiences with the Telehealth intervention. The cost-effectiveness of the Telehealth intervention will be analysed in comparison to SOC.
