Filter by:Background:The aim of our study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the "Barriers & Facilitators to Youth Physical Activity Questionnaire" in young individuals after cultural adaptation. The results of this study may shed light on youth PA participation studies, enable a clear explanation of the barriers and facilitators of physical activity in community-based research, and develop goal-oriented strategies for PA participation. Material&Method: The research will be carried out at İstinye University and young individuals between the ages of 18-24, who accepted to participate in the study as a result of the invitation and whose family consent was obtained, will participate in the research. The socio-demographic characteristics, age, gender, body weight, height and Body Mass Index (BMI) of the participants will be evaluated and recorded with a specially prepared evaluation form. All participants in the study will complete the Turkish version of the BFYPA,The Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS), Motivation for Participation in Physical Activity Scale (MPPAS), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) at their first visit. Translation and cultural adaptation process of the original BFYPA Beaton et al. (2000) with reference to the guideline .
The increasing use of technological devices such as mobile phones and computers has become indispensable elements of daily life. Especially students are one of the groups that use communication tools most with the developing technology. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of technology addiction on academic achievement, musculoskeletal system and quality of life in young people.
Our primary aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a teacher training programme to teach mindfulness as part of regular classroom teaching in the total population of students in Danish upper secondary schools and schools of health and social care, respectively, on students' self-reported mental health at six-month follow-up. Our secondary aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the teacher training programme to teach mindfulness in a vulnerable subgroup of students on their self-reported mental health at three and six months after baseline.
The outbreak linked to SARS-CoV-2 pandemic resulted in lock-down measures in almost all European countries. This online survey assesses these measures implications on Mental Health in emerging adults. The questionnaires evaluate two psychometric variables (Resilience and Loneliness) and Mental Health status (mental health professional help-seeking, use of psychotropic drugs, or possible diagnosis) before and during Lock-down Measures. At least 600 healthy participants aged form 18 to 25 years old will be attended to fill the survey during the SARS-CoV2 Pandemic Lock-down Measures.
Understanding how to create successful pathways out of homelessness is crucial. Thirty young people (aged 18 - 26 years) who have transitioned out of homelessness within the past three years will be offered scholarships to participate in a six week intervention that focuses on building identity capital (sense of purpose and control, self-efficacy and self-esteem) and providing career direction. The intervention will be designed and carried out by dk Leadership - an established, highly successful leadership and counseling centre in Toronto with a track record of significantly improving the life trajectories of teens and adults. Importantly, study participants will be incorporated into the centre's current programming, meaning the intervention will be held at a location not associated with homelessness. Study participants will be collaboratively recruited by dk Leadership and Covenant House Toronto - Canada's largest agency for street-involved and homeless youth. This impact and process evaluation aims to address critical gaps in knowledge about transition-related supports by asking whether and how an identity capital intervention delivered outside the social service sector impacts the life-trajectories of formerly homeless young people. Particular attention will be paid to whether this intervention shows promise as an unconventional way to tackle poverty and improve social inclusion. It is hypothesize that, for the primary quantitative outcome measures of hope, community integration, social connectedness, and self-esteem: 1. Significant improvements in the mean scores of the intervention group compared to the delayed intervention comparison group immediately post-intervention will be observed. 2. Significant improvements in the mean scores of both groups (intervention and delayed intervention) immediately post-intervention will be observed. 3. These significant improvements will be sustained in both groups for at least three months post-intervention.
This project is a consequence of the research chair project studying the same phenomenon in adult volleyball players. The project will make use of and be part of the routine medical screening that is taken by the young players of the first degree of the Leuven Volleyball School, Belgium. All young players must undergo a routine medical investigation and movement screening. This is obliged by the law. The current project will use these data. Outcome parameters will be used to advice the trainer staff of the school to adjust their training interventions. This is normal routine too as the involved medical department has been advising the school for many years. Players will be followed up for 6 weeks. After those 6 weeks, the movement screening will be repeated to evaluate the change in the different outcome parameters. This last screening is not part of a normal routine as players normally are investigated more in a subjective way. The medical team and school want to change that routine. Data will be used to further improve training modalities and sports performance and reduce injury risk in these young athletes.
This project builds upon initial proof of concept work examining the optimal set of supports for youth who have recently exited homelessness - an intervention comprised of mental health and peer supports alongside transitional case management. This collaborative model will be tested as a proof-of-concept in Thunder Bay with Indigenous youth and a trial will be conducted in Toronto to optimize and determine the effectiveness of the existing model of support.
Background: Most psychotropic medications that are effective in the treatment of Bipolar Disorder (BD) are associated with endocrine-metabolic changes (EMCs). To date, there is no long-term study in BD that has examined specifically the association of inflammation with EMCs in BD. Specific aims: 1) to identify predictors of EMCs among adolescents and adults with BD who are being started on a medication ; 2) to compare change in EMCs in youth and adults treated for BD; 3) to measure change in EMCs associated with use of different medications for BD. Research Design: Participants: 30 adolescents (14-18 years old) with BD and 30 adults (19-65 years old) with BD. Measures: Blood levels of biomarkers that are associated with EMCs will be measured.
