Filter by:The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a massive open online course (MOOC) for training lay first responders in sub-Saharan Africa. The research team will assess educational outcomes of first responder training implemented at program locations in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Uganda, and Kenya, through previously validated pre- and post-course survey instruments, standardized patient assessments, and incident reporting. The research team will investigate efficacy of MOOC training amongst diverse populations with variable technology literacy and utilize data gathered to develop more efficient means of disseminating basic first aid training information.
In this study, aimed to determine the effect of "Mindfulness Based Compassionate Life Training" given to university students on coping with post-earthquake trauma stress and grief process. According to the experimental design with pre-test and post-test control group, the participants selected from the universe will be assigned to the experimental and control groups impartially. In this study, a priori power analysis will be performed to determine the sample size. For the independent groups, in which the effect of "Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Life Training" on coping with post-earthquake trauma stress and grief will be compared, 80% power will be achieved at a significance level of 0.05 at a 95% confidence interval. A total of 68 participants will be reached by taking into account data losses and including 30% backup sample in the research. Participants included in the study will be numbered from 1 to 68 and 34 experimental and 34 control groups will be created from www.random.org. Pre-test data will be collected before applying to earthquake survivors in the experimental group and control group. 8 sessions of Mindfulness Based Compassionate Life training will be given to earthquake survivors in the experimental group. Training sessions will be held online. For its effectiveness and continuity, each session will be held between 3 days and 7 days. One week after the Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living training (after 8 sessions were completed), the "Post-earthquake Trauma Stress Level Determination Scale (NSSTDBÖ)", "The Grief Scale" was administered to the earthquake survivors. The "Self-Compassion Scale Short Form (STS-F)" post-test will be filled in by face-to-face interview. Post-test data from the experimental and control groups will be obtained simultaneously.
The purpose of the study is to assess screw deviation from pre-planned trajectory using the Mazor X robotic system in patients undergoing posterior thoracolumbar arthrodesis procedures between T2-S1.
Primary aim: Characterise case-mix, processes of care and variations in nonoperative and operative management strategies, including emergency, ward, surgical and ICU care, in patients presenting with traumatic spinal injury (TSI) between centres across low and high Human Development Index (HDI) countries. Primary outcome measure: The primary outcome measure will be Frankel Grade at 6 weeks post-admission (or discharge, whichever comes first). Primary comparison: Between country groups defined by human development index Centre eligibility: Any unit assessing patients with TSI worldwide will be eligible to participate Patient eligibility: All adult patients presenting with radiologically confirmed traumatic spinal injury. Team: Each participating unit will form a study team of up to four investigators including a study lead, local investigator 1/2 and an independent data validator. Time period: Local study teams may select any 30-day period from July 12th 2021 to start their study. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria between 00:01 on day 0 and 23:59 on day 30 of the selected study period will be included. Validation: There will be a two-phase data validation process. Phase 1 will be prospective, validating case ascertainment, and phase 2 will be retrospective, validating operative data.
The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) in patients with traumatic hand and forearm injuries. A total of 170 patients with traumatic hand-forearm injuries with a mean age of 37.57±11.85 (18-63) years were included in the study. TSK, Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were applied to the patients in the first session. Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia was re-administered 15 days after the first session. Test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of the TSK were evaluated. In addition, exploratory factor analysis was applied.
Humacyte provided HAVs as humanitarian aid to Ukraine. This retrospective observational study is designed to collect data from patients in whom the HAVs have already been implanted on a humanitarian basis between June 2022 and May 2023.
Traumatic rib fractures (i.e., broken ribs caused by a physical injury) are common and very painful. They also often lead to serious complications, more time spent in hospital, and can even lead to death. Even after rib fractures have healed, they can lead to long-term pain and a lower quality of life. A technology called cryoneurolysis, which acts to freeze nerves causing pain using a small tool which can turn very cold, is a promising new way to manage rib fracture pain. This study is a test with a small number of people to see if it is feasible to use this technology for patients with rib fractures. If this is successful, we will recruit more people for a larger study to see if cryoneurolysis, along with standard pain control techniques, is better at stopping pain, compared to just the normal techniques alone. Participants in our study will be asked to rate their pain, and record pain medications that they take for 3 months after their pain procedure.
The goal of this single-group clinical trial is to learn about the initial efficacy and feasibility of telehealth-delivered Written Exposure Therapy (WET) for autistic adults with traumatic stress symptoms. The main questions the investigators aim to answer are: - Do symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and co-occurring mental health concerns decrease after receiving WET? - Do biobehavioral health outcomes, including objective (Fitbit indicators of activity, sleep, and heart rate) and subjectively-reported health variables (e.g., sleep, pain, health-related quality of life), improve after receiving WET? - How do autistic adults experience WET, and how can this program be modified and enhance in the future in collaboration with autistic adults? Participants will complete the following as part of the study, which is completed entirely over telehealth. - Participants will first complete an initial assessment, involving brief measures of cognition and autistic traits, as well as interviews and questionnaires about PTSD, mental health, and physical health. If eligible, participants will proceed to the following steps: - Eligible participants will then start wearing a Fitbit, to be used for the duration of the study. - Participants will then participate in 5 weekly virtual visits involving the WET protocol, including weekly brief assessment of PTSD and mental and physical health. - Then, participants will complete a sixth virtual visit the following week where PTSD, mental and physical health, and treatment feedback are assessed. - Lastly, participants will complete virtual visits 1 and 6 months later involving re-assessment of PTSD and mental and physical health. Therefore, this is a pre-post single group design, where all participants will receive WET to establish initial efficacy and feasibility. Investigators will also consult with an autistic advisory board throughout the project, and make adaptations as recommended in consultation with autistic adults. The goal is to better understand the initial efficacy and feasibility of WET for supporting autistic adults who have experienced trauma.
The goal of this observational study is to explore the impact of a resiliency and trauma informed care educational intervention for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) students at the University of Arizona College of Nursing during the final, clinical year of the program. Specifically, the investigators will examine if the educational intervention is feasible, acceptable and helpful to students, and can decrease burnout and increase resiliency.
The Depuy Synthes Locking Compression Plate (LCP) Variable Angle Patella Plating System is an FDA approved device. The purpose of this study is to see how well the Depuy Synthes LCP Variable Plating System work in fixing a broken kneecap (patella). Depuy says that the device will improve healing when compared to traditional ways of repairing a broken patella. The goal of this randomized control trial is to learn how well the LCP Variable Plating System works to fix a broken patella (kneecap) compared to traditional fixation methods, in male and females, age 18 to 74, with a patellar fracture, and being treated at Hartford HealthCare The Bone and Joint Institute or Hartford Hospital. The main question it aims to answer are: - To understand if the Depuy Synthes LCP Variable Angle Plating System will provide a better way to help patients recover from a broken patella. Participants will evaluated at specific time points: post-op day 1, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 month post-surgery. Participants will be asked to: - Complete surveys at all evaluation timepoints. - Have x-rays(radiographs) taken at the 6 week, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 1 year timepoints. - Participants will have a passive range of motion tests done at 6 week, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 1 year timepoints. - Participants would have strength and balance tests done at the 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 1 year timepoints.
