5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a social needs screening and intervention protocol in the pediatric inpatient setting by conducting a pilot trial on a pediatric ward. The investigators' hypothesis is that it will be feasible and acceptable to implement a social needs screening and intervention protocol. The investigators will work with pediatric word healthcare team members to develop a social needs screening and intervention protocol. They will then compare preliminary health and social outcome measures between children hospitalized during the pre-intervention period (control group) vs. the post-intervention period (intervention group).
RATIONALE: Art therapy may help relieve emotional distress in caregivers of young patients undergoing bone marrow transplant for cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying art therapy for caregivers of young patients undergoing bone marrow transplant for cancer.
This study will compare the effectiveness of face-to-face cognitive behavioral therapy versus telephone-based cognitive behavioral therapy for treating African Americans who care for family members with dementia.
It is increasingly clear that the environment in which a child lives, plays, and goes to school has a significant impact on their health. With the implementation of a Community to Clinic Linkage Program (CCLiP) in the SFGH Pediatrics Clinics, we will routinely address Social Determinants of Health when families present. We will randomize patients to receive either the CCLiP intervention or standard of care. We will evaluate programmatic outcome, health care utilization data and return on investment data. We hypothesize that by addressing the environmental and social factors that contribute to health within the setting of the medical home, we will be able to better connect families to community resources, enable more appropriate use of healthcare resources, improve health status, and enhance patient satisfaction.
Our expectations (hypotheses) are: Primary outcome 1. Regular bidet use will improve quality of life around elimination in adults with impaired functional status. Functional status will be measured by activities of daily living (ADL). 2. Regular bidet use by adults with impaired functional status will improve the quality of life around toileting for their caregivers. Secondary 3. Regular bidet use will reduce the incidence, frequency and severity of constipation (as measured by self-report) in adults with impaired functional status. 4. Regular bidet use will reduce the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) in adult women with impaired functional status.
