Filter by:The purpose of the study is to collect and analyze physiological, physical, and molecular data from a diverse population to increase our understanding of how such parameters are associated with health and disease.
The study will examine the role of digital wellness modules (brief mindfulness and light to moderate physical exercise) delivered through a smartphone wellness application and their short-term effects on health behavior motivation and change, and longer-term quality of life and non-pathological affective states.
Inattentiveness and impulsivity in healthy adults and individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diminish these individuals' quality of life. Cortical hypometabolism has been hypothesized to contribute to inattentiveness in ADHD. Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is a safe and non-invasive modality for activation of the prefrontal cortex. tPBM in healthy adults has been shown to augment brain oxygenation, cognition, and mood. The cognition-enhancing effect of tPBM on sustained attention in adults with ADHD remains unstudied. The investigators will evaluate whether tPBM administration to adults with and without ADHD can improve their attention. Each participant will be screened for eighteen criteria based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV, text revised), using the validated instrument Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1). Blinded participants will be randomized into (I) Active-tPBM or (II) Sham-tPBM groups. After undergoing an 8-minute administration of Sham or 1064 nm tPBM to the lateral and medial right prefrontal cortex, each participant will complete a 14-minute, computer-based Conner's continuous performance task-3 (CPT-3). The investigators will examine whether adults with and without ADHD who receive Active-tPBM improve in measures of inattention, impulsivity, sustained attention, or vigilance compared to the Sham-tPBM group. Cognitive assessments of attention like the CPT-3 may evaluate the efficacy of tPBM to increase cortical metabolism in healthy adults and individuals with conditions like ADHD. The investigators anticipate their investigation will be a starting point for more sophisticated studies that focus on the implications of tPBM on cognition.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test how well resource navigators help long-term care and retirement home staff access the various health and wellness resources available to them and the effects that this has on their health and wellness overall. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does one-on-one support from a resource navigator affect the wellness of long-term care and retirement home staff, including burnout, vaccination status, and COVID-19 infection? Researchers will compare participants in the intervention group (where participants are paired with a resource navigator) and the control group (where participants are not paired with a resource navigator) to see the impact access to a resource navigator has on wellness (primary outcome), burnout, knowledge of, access to and use of wellness resources, knowledge/alignment with provincial public health guidelines related to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine outcomes, SARS-CoV-2 infection, hospitalization, and death (secondary outcomes). Hypothesis: Researchers anticipate that those in the intervention group (have access to a resource navigator) will report a higher positive change in wellness between baseline and 6 months.
A reliable method for monitoring sleep, stress, and burnout among cardiology fellows is critically needed. To address this gap, our team aims to utilize the cost-effective WHOOP strap 4.0 wearable device to continuously capture stress-relevant physiologic data (i.e., sleep hours, heart rate variability, respiration rate, resting heart rate) among up to 21 Cardiology Fellows Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for 6 months.
A reliable method for monitoring stress and burnout among medical students is critically needed. To address this gap, our team aims to utilize the cost-effective WHOOP strap 4.0 wearable device to continuously capture stress-relevant physiologic data (i.e., sleep hours, heart rate variability, respiration rate, resting heart rate) among up to 50 third-year medical students at 24 Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University for 6 months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate health care providers' perceptions, ratings and motivation to adopt a novel and state of the art physical wellness assessment device, the Preventiometer.
The purpose of this research project is to assess the impact of a multi-level intervention designed to optimize work motivation and support physical and psychological health among employees. The intervention is based on the principles of self-determination theory; an empirically based approach to human motivation that has been applied to work and health and the job demands resources (JD-R) model; an empirically based model of occupational health.
Study the impact of the WHOOP fitness tracker on burnout in attending and resident otolaryngologists
Design for wellness (DWELL) is an online Facebook intervention developed to effectively cause participants to design their home environments for wellness. Also, to improve health behaviors (specifically: healthy nutrition, physical activity, smoke free home and hygiene); to improve awareness of the importance of the environment in healthy behaviors; and to improve overall wellness. The research will follow qualitative methods in early stages for a deep understanding of participants' needs and inputs, complimented by a rigorous, quantitative approach using randomized controlled trail (RCT) for program evaluation. Participants are Israeli mothers to children up to 18 years old with Facebook profile, who are often in Israel responsible for household management and raising the family. The program will provide the participants with an accessible and convenient online setting for active and group oriented collaborative learning, in informal personalized environment. Motivating the participants to enhance their engagement in DWELL online community is expected to encourage the participants to design their home environment for wellness and improve their health behaviors and overall wellness.
