8 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to develop and refine a behavioral intervention to address fertility-related information needs and fertility-related distress among female adult survivors of childhood cancer.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of an inpatient personal health record (PHR) portal intervention within the hospital environment. The intervention hopes to improve patient engagement with their care and to measure patient activation and satisfaction. Additional clinical measure (e.g. number of adverse events that occur during the stay, changes to medication orders, etc.) will also be studied. Characterization of hospital patient and clinician attitudes towards patient engagement will also be formalized.
The purpose of this research is to explore the factors involved in brain cancer health care literacy needs.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of an immersive virtual reality (VR)-based education program with a form of patient education commonly provided by clinics (e.g., an educational video) at delivering education to breast cancer patients as they prepare for radiation therapy treatment. Self-evaluation questionnaires completed by participants will be used to measure changes in information needs and anxiety, stress, preparedness and satisfaction levels pre/post education between the VR-based education and video education groups in this study. Expanded access to the current VR-based education program will depend on licensing status for associated assets by interested parties.
Primary Objective: - To understand the importance of receiving information on fertility- and menopause-related treatment effects for female patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
We are doing this study to learn more about colon and rectal cancer survivors. We want to know if survivors want more information about life after cancer. Do cancer survivors want to know more about their own cancer? Do cancer survivors want to know about their treatment? Do cancer survivors want to know what health care they should get in the future? We want to know what information to give to cancer survivors when they finish treatment.
We, the investigators, will provide "Just-in-Time" information, physician educational material, to primary care pediatricians of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) graduates at the time of NICU discharge. We will follow the rate of adverse events (deaths, re-hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and missed appointments) for 6 months after NICU discharge. We will assess levels of physician comfort in caring for NICU specific diseases, as well as physician satisfaction with the discharge process. We hypothesize that the provision of "Just-in-Time" information will decrease the rate of adverse events, and make physicians more comfortable in caring for complicated NICU graduates, and more satisfied with the discharge process.
Caregivers of home-dwelling people with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD) are one of the most rapidly growing populations in the United States. Among ADRD caregivers with unmet health-related social needs, this study aims to evaluate the effects of the CRx-D intervention versus usual care on caregiver self-efficacy.
