Filter by:It is imperative to offer adequate community resources and psychosocial support, with a particular focus on enhancing resilience for children from low-income families. This study aims to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of mountain craft training in enhancing resilience and self-esteem, reducing depressive symptoms, and improving the physical health of children from low-income families.
This study aimed to determine the effect of the Facilitating Self-Transcendence Psychoeducation Program, which will be applied to mothers of children with special needs, on well-being, self-transcendence, self-reflection, and insight.
The earned income tax credit (EITC) is the largest United States poverty alleviation program, providing up to $6,600 for working families as a tax refund. Prior studies have shown the EITC's benefits for social outcomes and health. Effects are even more significant for single mothers and Black women. Despite these known benefits, 20%-33% of eligible individuals do not receive benefits, leaving $7 billion unclaimed annually. The Targeting Access and Knowledge of EITC Utilization and Policies (TAKE-UP) Study is a pilot randomized controlled trial that will develop and test the feasibility of several culturally tailored, scalable interventions to increase the take-up of the EITC among participants in the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
The goal of this quasi-experimental observational study is to evaluate the impact of an individually tailored digital service aimed to support healthy habits on well-being, lifestyle behaviors, and mental health among the adult population. The main questions it aims to answer are: I) Is a digital service developed to personalize support for healthy habits effective in improving well-being compared to a control group in the general population after 6 months? II) Does the digital service improve dietary and physical activity habits, mental health, and well-being among users across 24 months? III) Are sociodemographic factors associated with achieving the self-identified goals and improvements in dietary and physical activity habits, mental health, and well-being? IV) Do the intended mediators (engagement with the service, improved motivation, improved self-efficacy, and reduced barriers) mediate the effects of the digital service on achieving the self-identified goal, improved dietary and physical activity habits, mental health, and well-being? V) How is the pattern of user engagement across 24 months? Participants are users of the mobile phone application LongLife Active®. Researchers will compare with individuals in the general population to see if the digital service is effective in improving well-being, dietary and physical activity habits, and mental health.
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of the hands4health hand hygiene multi-component intervention on students and teachers in primary schools with limited access to water in Nigeria and Palestine. To evaluate the effects of the intervention, the investigators will involve the participants in the included schools in the following data collection methods, including (i) a survey regarding their thoughts, behaviours, and practices related to handwashing at school, (ii) structured observation of their handwashing behaviour (iii) hand rinse sample collection to check for bacteria on their hands, (iv) absenteeism tracking through a daily journal to record the reasons for any absences, with a specific focus on identifying if they are related to hygiene-related diseases, and (v) discussions and interviews to gather their perspectives on the perceived impacts of the intervention on their health and well-being. The investigators will collect data using these methods before the intervention starts, a few months after it begins, and again one year later. The schools will be randomly divided into two groups: one group will receive the intervention activities, including handwashing station/rehabilitation of water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure, behavioural change intervention, capacity development, and management support. The other group will not receive any intervention until the end of the study. By comparing the two groups, the investigators will determine if the intervention had any impact on health determinants including, hygiene infrastructure, handwashing knowledge, behaviour, beliefs, etc.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a personalized multimodal intervention program (MuzHyp) including hypnosis, music or their combination to improve palliative care at home. The main objective is to evaluate if the intervention program will significantly reduce participants' composite score of pain, anxiety, and unwellness as evaluated by the Edmonton symptom assessment scale (ESAS) immediately after the intervention, and whether this improvement will be significantly greater than that of control sessions.
For this project the broad research objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of an enhanced digital wellbeing program in improving well-being, depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, and job satisfaction of physicians. The intent of the investigators is that this will enable a proactive culture of well-being and mental health support for the broader healthcare workforce during the multiple phases of the pandemic. The investigator's approach evaluates existing digital models which can be executed in a timely fashion and rapidly scaled for use across other health systems. Aim 1: Conduct interviews of URM and women physicians to identify barriers and facilitators to accessing and receiving digital well-being, mental health, and culturally sensitive support resources. Aim 2: Through a randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigate the immediate and long-term effect of a comprehensive well-being focused intervention (push text messaging, resource support, semi-facilitated peer groups hosted by Cobalt) vs. usual care on well-being, depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, and job satisfaction of physicians practicing in the era of COVID.
This study is a field trial where "Komp" is implemented and tested as part of Oslo Municipality's home care services for older adults. Komp is a "one button" communication device designed specifically for older adults who are unfamiliar with or struggle to use conventional digital technologies such as smart phones, computers, or tablets. The aim of the trial is to study the effects of increased social contact with family and care services via Komp. In a randomized design, 300 Komp units will be offered to a sample of older municipal home care service recipients. By comparing the intervention group (who are offered to test Komp for free) with the control group (who receive services as usual), the study will uncover if, on average, users of Komp 1) can live longer at home than non-users, 2) have lesser need of home care services, and 3) are happier, safer, and more socially connected.
Stress and psychosocial risks are a major public health problem.Sophrology is a psycho-corporal method exclusively verbal and non-tactile used as a therapeutic technique. It combines a set of techniques that will act both on the body and on the mind through breathing exercises, muscle relaxation and mental imagery (or visualization). It allows to find a state of well-being and to activate all physical and psychological potential in order to acquire a better knowledge of oneself. Sophrology demonstrated some benefits on symptoms of patients. However, these approaches have never been evaluated with a prolonged follow-up of several months, with biological measures or with adjustments according to the levels of mastery of sophrology. This project proposes to evaluate the effects of sophrology practice. The investigators aim to evaluate both subjective and objective measures of stress.
TeTrimTeas intends is to establish a long-term cooperative with local growers and producers who will become partners in the business, with profit share to local growers and producers. The overall aim of the company is to produce quality, science-based botanical/herbal teas to improve health and wellbeing, growing as many of the ingredients locally and organically, to reduce food-to-fork miles within the decarbonisation and sustainability agendas in Wales. TeTrimTeas have created herbal green tea blends, improving on existing Chinese formulation, and would like to test it as 'health tea'. The recruited cohort will be randomised into one of three intervention teas (green tea control, senna herbal mix and rhubarb root herbal mix). They would like to explore if consumption of the teas for 21 days has an impact on digestion and potentially help control weight gain. Aberystwyth University will use high resolution metabolomics to investigate the chemical composition of capillary blood samples, in particular the short chain fatty acids. They will also assess lipid composition in capillary bloods and the microbiome of stools. Diet data, stool consistency and anthropometric measurements will be collected pre and post intervention. Results will advance product development and data would be used in grant applications into the health benefits of the herbal teas.
