Colorectal cancer : patients’ and next-of-kin’s experiences and the effects of a psycho-educational program

Ohlsson-Nevo, Emma January 2013 (has links)
Purpose: To test whether a psycho-educational program affects mental wellbeing in persons treated for colorectal cancer and their next-of-kin. Design: A prospective, longitudinal, randomized controlled trial. Setting: Surgical clinic at a university hospital in Sweden. Sample: 105 colorectal cancer patients and 71 next-of-kin were allocated to a psycho­educational program or to standard care. Methods: Mental wellbeing was evaluated with the Mood Adjective Check List and The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale at baseline and at 1, 6, and 12 months. The program consisted of seven meetings, including lecture and time for reflection with other patients/next­of-kin. Main Research Variable: Overall mood, activity, calmness, pleasantness, anxiety, and depression. Findings: The psycho-educational program increased overall mood, calmness, and pleasantness among patients after one month but had no effect on activity, anxiety, or depression. The program had no effect on the overall mood, activity, calmness, pleasantness, anxiety, or depression among next-of-kin. Conclusion: The psycho-educational program had a short-term effect on overall patient mood, calmness, and pleasantness but not on next-of-kin. Implications for Nursing: A psycho-educational program including lecture and time for reflection can be used with a colorectal cancer patient population to improve some aspects of their mental wellbeing.

Παιδί και ελληνική οικονομική κρίση : ψυχοεκπαιδευτικό πρόγραμμα πρόληψης

Ταμάμη, Δέσποινα 07 May 2015 (has links)
Στην παρούσα έρευνα αναπτύχθηκε και εφαρμόστηκε ένα ψυχοεκπαιδευτικό πρόγραμμα για παιδιά δημοτικού. Ο στόχος ήταν η κατανόηση από μέρους των παιδιών των αλλαγών που έχουν συντελεστεί στο κοινωνικό και οικογενειακό περιβάλλον, λόγω της οικονομικής κρίσης και η ενδυνάμωσή τους για σωστή διαχείριση των παραπάνω αλλαγών. Σχεδιάστηκε και υλοποιήθηκε ένα ψυχοεκπαιδευτικό πρόγραμμα έξι συναντήσεων βασισμένο στις αρχές της Θετικής ψυχολογίας και της Γνωσιακής – Συμπεριφοριστικής ψυχολογίας. Οι συμμετέχοντες διδάχτηκαν στρατηγικές και δεξιότητες διαχείρισης της οικονομικής κρίσης. Από τη στατιστική ανάλυση των ποιοτικών και ποσοτικών στοιχείων των ερωτηματολογίων που συμπληρώθηκαν από τους συμμετέχοντες στο ψυχοεκπαιδευτικό πρόγραμμα εξήχθησαν τα παρακάτω συμπεράσματα: Οι περισσότεροι από τους συμμετέχοντες έμαθαν τις έννοιες των βασικών όρων της οικονομικής κρίσης. Εξέφρασαν τα συναισθήματά τους και αντιλήφθηκαν τις σωματικές αντιδράσεις που τα συνοδεύουν. Επίσης, φάνηκε μια τάση ανάπτυξης των τριών αξόνων της Θετικής ψυχολογίας δηλαδή, της ικανοποίησης από τη ζωή, της ευτυχίας και της αισιοδοξίας τους. Τέλος, έδειξαν κατανόηση των στρατηγικών επίλυσης προβλημάτων. / In this survey was developed and implemented a psycho educational program for primary school children. The goal was the understanding, from the children, of changes that have occurred in the social and family environment due to the economic crisis and their empowerment for proper management of these changes. A six meetings psycho educational program has been designed and implemented based on the principles of positive psychology and cognitive-behavioral psychology. Participants were taught strategies and economic crisis management skills. From the statistical analysis of qualitative and quantitative data of the questionnaires that were completed by the participants, the following conclusions were reached: Most of the participants learned the concepts of key terms of the economic crisis. They expressed their feelings and perceived physical reactions that accompany them. Moreover a development trend of the three pillars of positive psychology was demonstrated, that is, life satisfaction, happiness and optimism. Finally, they showed understanding of problem solving strategies.

Usability, efficacy, and perspectives of an Internet-based psycho-educational program for informal caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease : the contributions of an iterative user-centered design and a randomized clinical trial / Utilisabilité, efficacité et perspectives d'un programme psycho-éducatif en ligne pour les aidants informels de personnes atteintes de maladie d'Alzheimer : contributions d'un design itératif participatif et d'une étude clinique randomisée

Lacroix, Victoria 07 November 2014 (has links)
Compte tenu des risques non-négligeables liés à la prise en charge des personnes souffrant de maladie d'Alzheimer sur la santé globale et le bien-être des aidants informels, l'OMS recommande fortement la mise en place d'interventions à leur égard. Bien que les programmes en ligne représentent un outil prometteur pour ces aidants surchargés, peu de recherches ont été menées sur leur conception et leur efficacité. Le but de cette thèse de doctorat était de contribuer à la connaissance et la compréhension des processus du développement et d'évaluation de ces interventions. Pour cela, quarante-neuf participants (12 professionnels de la santé, 6 aidants et 31 personnes âgées) ont participé au processus itératif de conception du programme Diapason centrée sur l'utilisateur. La dernière version a été évaluée dans un essai clinique randomisé, basé sur des méthodes de recherche mixtes. Quarante-neuf aidants informels de personnes atteintes de maladie d'Alzheimer ont été randomisés soit dans le groupe expérimental (n = 25) ou soit dans le groupe de contrôle (n = 24). Bien que les résultats portant sur l'efficacité du programme ne soient pas concluants, les personnes du groupe expérimental ont significativement augmenté leurs niveaux de connaissance de la maladie (p = 0,008 d' = 0,79). Par ailleurs, l'analyse qualitative a montré que les enfants des patients avaient donné un avis plus favorable que les épouses sur l'utilité du programme. Les résultats de ces travaux offrent des perspectives prometteuses pour ce type d'interventions, en particulier quand elles sont personnalisables et centrées sur les besoins des aidants. Ce travail permet de mieux appréhender les spécificités méthodologiques liées au développement et à l'évaluation des interventions des aidants. / Given the important consequences of caregiving on the overall health and wellbeing of informal caregivers, the WHO strongly recommends interventions for them. Although Internet-based programs represent a promising tool for overburdened caregivers, little research has been conducted about their design and efficacy. The purpose of this PhD dissertation was to contribute to the knowledge and understanding of the development, evaluation, and implementation process of these programs. For this purpose, we involved forty-nine participants (12 healthcare professionals, 6 caregivers, and 31 healthy older-adults) in the iterative user-centered design process for the development of the Diapason program. The latest version of this program was evaluated in a randomized clinical trial, based on mixed methods research. Forty-nine informal caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease were randomly assigned to the experimental (n=25) or control group (n=24). Although the results were non conclusive about the program's efficacy, the experimental group significantly improved their knowledge of the disease (p=0.008 d=0.79). Furthermore the qualitative analysis showed that children of patients were more positive than female spouses caregivers about the usefulness of the program. The findings of this research offer promising perspectives for this kind of interventions, particularly when individualized and centered on the needs of caregivers. This work allows for the understanding and analysis of specific methodological features to develop and evaluate caregivers' interventions.
