Filter by:Symptom interference is common for survivors of young adult cancer (aged 18-39 at diagnosis) and impacts their abilities to achieve normative life goals (e.g., education, careers, independence, romantic/social relationships) as well as adhere to recommended follow-up care. Assistance with symptom management has been rated by young adult survivors as an important and unmet healthcare need; however, skill-based symptom management interventions have typically been tested among older cancer survivors and have not targeted the unique developmental needs of those diagnosed as young adults. The proposed research advances the health and wellbeing of young adult cancer survivors by creating a developmentally appropriate hybrid in-person/mHealth behavioral symptom management intervention which addresses variables (i.e., symptoms and symptom interference) consistently linked to significant social, economic, and health burden.
The purpose of this study will be to provide undergraduate students information about skin cancer risk and prevention. The study will last between 2-3 months. Everyone in the study will be asked to answer questionnaires and receive education about skin cancer risk factors and prevention. We will follow-up with participants by phone, text messages or e-mail in between study visits Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups, the group will be in is decided by chance. Participant will either be assigned to: - A group that gets advice about what causes skin cancer and how to prevent it - A group that gets this advice and provides a saliva sample to receive personalized skin cancer risk genetic testing results - A group that gets this advice and receives a personalized photo that shows existing skin damage - A group that gets this advice, receives genetic testing results, and receives a personalized photo.
Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer have to deal with a relatively segmented organization of care between pediatric and adult medicine structures in France. However, the third french Plan Cancer 2014-2019 helped in the recognition of the specificities of the AYA affected by cancer and allowed the creation of specific structures in some care units in France, whose primary goal is the preservation of the social link. Indeed, peer relations contribute to access to quality social support, which is an important variable in patient adjustment with cancer. The adolescents that perceive higher social support report less psychological distress and exhibit higher adaptation scores. It nevertheless happens that AYA experience negative social support, often from friends because of contact reduction during the disease. Patients can then elect to turn towards non-intimate relations such as support groups. The main risk when a AYA with cancer defines a sick peer as one bringing him quality social support is the installation of a sense of guilt, for example, when a young person is confronted with disease negative progress or with peer death. The more an adolescent identifies with the deceased, the more he is able to consider his own mortality. AYA units are developing in France, creating a community of sick adolescents. These communities are precious for AYA and allow information and experience sharing, a feeling of reduced isolation and a greater emotional closeness with peers suffering from the same disease. How is social support from peers and close friends perceived by these young people in AYA units and through the social networks? What can the consequences of the evolution of peer disease be on AYA? What is the impact of the mourning of sick peers on these young people? What are the predictors?
The goal of the proposed study is to examine whether a single session of training in regulation of craving (ROC-T) affects alcohol drinking. The study will consist of (1) a basic screening (phone and/or online) and an in-person visit, to determine eligibility and conduct pre-intervention baseline assessments; (2) a training (ROC-T) visit, (3) a post-intervention assessment visit, and (4) 1-2 phone/online follow-up assessments. The study will take up to 10 hours of the participants' time.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Tai chi exercises on balance and body awareness in younger adults. Forty-two healthy subjects between the ages of 18-25 who do not have any restriction to exercise participate in our study. After recording the sociodemographic characteristics of the subjects, static and dynamic balance and body awareness will be evaluated. Kinesthetic Ability Trainer will be used to assess static and dynamic balance and body awareness will be evulated with Body Awareness Questionnaire. All assessments will be done before and 12 weeks after the tai chi exercise. Tai-chi training will be performed as a group exercise. Duration for tai chi exercise will be 60 minutes for 2 days per week totally 12 weeks.
Objectives: This study aims to explore families' representations and strategies about their teenagers or young adults involved in the radicalisation process and use these findings to build specific tools to help professionals provide family support.
Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer have many needs for supportive care that differ from younger and older patients.This includes age-appropriate psychological support for management of distress, as well as supports for the social isolation many AYAs experience. One intervention that may provide AYAs with cancer improved psychosocial support, as well as increased physical strength, is physical activity. This feasibility project aims to evaluate the safety, feasibility and acceptability of a physical activity training in AYAs with cancer delivered via a socially interactive videoconferencing platform.
The investigators aim to measure the impact of a rehabilitation program in congenital cardiology in terms of health related quality of life. The orginality of the rehabilitation program consists in its design : initial hospitalizationfor a short period of time (5 days) at the rehabilitation center, followed by 11 weeks of rehabilitation at home under the supervision of a specialized sports trainer.
Fertility is of great importance to young women with cancer. Concerns about the ability to become pregnant after cancer treatment may influence treatment decisions and fertility decision-making is challenging. Despite these challenges, there is a lack of fertility decision support tools. Our team developed the Begin Exploring Fertility Options, Risks and Expectations (BEFORE) decision aid for young breast cancer patients in Canada. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the BEFORE decision aid in hospital settings through a stepped wedge cluster randomized trial.
Attempting an effective treatment is essential to the physiotherapist to understand how his conducts affect body tissues and the whole system, besides understand properly how and when therapeutic modalities could be use in the rehabilitation process. There are several research articles pointing the use of heat as an efficient agent to accelerate tissue healing. Clarifying the remaining doubts related to therapeutic modalities use can be beneficial for functional rehabilitation. In physiotherapy, shortwave diathermy is one of the standards treatments for heat inducement. The capacitance shortwave technique consists in the use of two pad electrodes that can be positioned in three different arrangements: coplanar (placed side by side on the same aspect of the part to be treated), contraplanar (placed over opposite aspects of the body part to be treated) and longitudinal (one electrode is placed at each end of the limb in opposite aspects of the body par to be treated). There is no evidence of which arrangement is the most efficient. Besides shortwave diathermy being a very established therapeutic modality, the use of this recourse in the most effective way rely on the properly answer of the remaining questions related to its application. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze which one of the capacitance shortwave technique is the most efficient in inducing and maintaining heat. Given the high-frequency waves field orientation could be suggested that the coplanar arrangement will lead to bigger heat inducement, and will maintain it for longer time.
