Could a Behavioral Model Explain Adherence to Second-Level Colonoscopy for Colon Cancer Screening? Results of a Cross-Sectional Study of the Palermo …
2022
According to Italian Essential Levels of Assistance (ELA), a colonoscopy is strongly recommended after a positive fecal occult blood test (FOBT) due to its effectiveness in early colorectal cancer detection. Despite the evidence, the Palermo province population (Italy), after a positive FOBT, have a lower colonoscopy adherence compared to Italian standards. This cross-sectional study analyzed patients’ perceptions of colonoscopy procedures to understand the reasons for non-adherence. Patients with a positive FOBT who did not undergo a colonoscopy within the national organized screening program were administered a telephone interview based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) questionnaire. The …
Motivational Regulations Across the Stages of Change for Exercise in the General Population of Monterrey (Mexico)
2018
Few studies have examined exercise adherence in the Mexican population using self-determination theory proposals and the stages of change model. The objectives of this study were:(a) to translate and adapt the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-3 (BREQ-3) to Mexican Spanish and examine its internal consistency and factorial structure (six dimensions); and (b) to analyse variations in behavioral regulations using the stages of change model. This study included 530 participants between 11 and 76 years old who lived in the metropolitan area of the city of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The Mexican version of the BREQ-3 presented an acceptable six-factor model that agrees with the …
Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients Treated With Continuous Positive Airway Pressure: Data From the European Sleep Apnea…
2021
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) that resolves under treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). In some patients, sleepiness persists despite CPAP treatment. We retrospectively analyzed data on subjective residual EDS, assessed as an Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (ESS) >10, in patients from the European Sleep Apnea Database (n = 4,853, mean age +/- SD 54.8 +/- 11.8 years, 26.1% females), at baseline and at the first visit (median follow-up: 5 months, interquartile range 3-13). An ESS > 10 occurred in 56% of patients at baseline and in 28.2% of patients at follow-up. Residual EDS was analyzed in 2,190 patients (age: 55.1 +/- 12…
Predictors of changing patterns of adherence to containment measures during the early stage of COVID-19 pandemic: an international longitudinal study
2023
Abstract Background Identifying common factors that affect public adherence to COVID-19 containment measures can directly inform the development of official public health communication strategies. The present international longitudinal study aimed to examine whether prosociality, together with other theoretically derived motivating factors (self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility and severity of COVID-19, perceived social support) predict the change in adherence to COVID-19 containment strategies. Method In wave 1 of data collection, adults from eight geographical regions completed online surveys beginning in April 2020, and wave 2 began in June and ended in September 2020. Hypothesized pre…

2020
Bakalaura darba tēma “Otrā tipa cukura diabēta pacientu līdzestība ārstēšanā un aprūpē”. Tēmas aktualitāti nosaka straujais cukura diabēta slimnieku skaita pieaugums pasaulē. Cukura diabēts ierindojas piektajā vietā pasaules izplatītāko mirstības cēloņu vidū, kā arī ir galvenais akluma, nieru mazspējas, infarkta, insulta un apakšējo ekstremitāšu amputācijas iemesls. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot 2. tipa cukura diabēta pacientu līdzestību ārstēšanā un aprūpē. Pētījuma uzdevumi ir izpētīt zinātnisko literatūru par 2. tipa cukura diabētu un pacientu līdzestību ārstēšanās un atveseļošanās procesos. Raksturot Kalistas Rojas adaptācijas teoriju, un saistīt to ar pētījuma tēmu. Veikt pētījumu un inte…
Psychological processes of ACL-patients' post-surgery rehabilitation : A prospective test of an integrated theoretical model
2020
Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to examine the utility of an integrated model comprising constructs from self-determination theory (SDT) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in predicting adherence to a post-surgery rehabilitation program in patients receiving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Constructs of the integrated model measured at baseline were expected to predict patients' rehabilitation adherence two months later. Method: Patients (N = 121, M age = 27.62, range = 18–53; 36.66% female) scheduled to have ACL reconstruction surgery within two months were recruited from a Hong Kong public hospital. At baseline and two-month follow-up, patients com…
Pacientu ar apakšstilba kaula lūzumu līdzestība aprūpē pēc ķirurģiskas vai neķirurģiskas ārstēšanas metodes
2018
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Pacientu ar apakšstilba kaula lūzumu līdzestība aprūpē pēc ķirurģiskas vai neķirurģiskas ārstēšanas metodes”. Tēmas aktualitāti nosaka lūzumu statistika – 2016. gadā no visām Latvijā reģistrētajām traumām, visvairāk reģistrēti tieši lūzumi. Apakšstilba kaula lūzumi ir visai izplatīti – tie veido aptuveni 10% no visu kaulu lūzumiem. Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt pacientu ar apakšstilba kaula lūzumu līdzestību aprūpē pēc ķirurģiskas vai neķirurģiskas ārstēšanas metodes. Pētījuma uzdevumi ir izpētīt zinātnisko literatūru par apakšstilba kaula lūzumu un pacientu līdzestību ārstēšanās un atveseļošanās procesos. Raksturot Kalistas Rojas adaptācijas teoriju, un saistīt to ar …
