Mindfulness-Based Smoking Cessation Delivered Through Telehealth and Text Messaging for Low-Income Smokers: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Mindfulness-Based Smoking Cessation Delivered Through Telehealth and Text Messaging for Low-Income Smokers: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) [18] and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) [19] are typically provided by highly trained instructors in 8 weekly, in-person 2- to 2.5-hour sessions, plus a day-long retreat. Although these programs are beneficial for those with the requisite time, transportation, and financial and other resources, there is a need for more cost-effective and scalable MBIs for a broader reach.

Mindfulness-Based Smoking Cessation Enhanced With Mobile Technology (iQuit Mindfully): Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Mindfulness-Based Smoking Cessation Enhanced With Mobile Technology (iQuit Mindfully): Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

In a systematic review, mobile phone interventions (most using text messaging) increased smoking abstinence at 6 months (risk ratio [RR]=1.67), with even more positive findings for biochemically verified abstinence (RR=1.83) [26]. Text messaging does not require a smartphone, internet access, or high technical literacy, thus meeting the needs of many adults with lower SES.

Use of eHealth by Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis: Observational, Cross-sectional, Multicenter Study

Use of eHealth by Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis: Observational, Cross-sectional, Multicenter Study

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common chronic autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases with a prevalence of 0.1%-1% [1]. The disease is primarily characterized by a history of painful and swollen joints leading to joint deformation and destruction and disability. Nowadays, a wide range of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are available (eg, synthetic, biologic, and targeted synthetic DMARDs).

In response to the checklist, research staff developed a plan with the participant to modify their home environment to prevent fall risks increase mobility for a safe evacuation and have a safer home environment. A balanced assessment is also conducted using the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) [22]. In addition, research assistants and participants develop small, realistic physical activity goals for the 10-week intervention using the Go4 Life goal-setting worksheet [23].

Neck Collar Assessment for People Living With Motor Neuron Disease: Are Current Outcome Measures Suitable?

Neck Collar Assessment for People Living With Motor Neuron Disease: Are Current Outcome Measures Suitable?

Motor neuron disease (MND) is a neurodegenerative disorder that contributes to weakness in the limbs and respiratory and bulbar muscle strength. The disease is irreversible and leads to a fatal outcome typically due to respiratory failure. People living with MND often develop neck weakness. They are unable to keep their head upright, resulting in a clinical syndrome known as a “head drop.” This exacerbates issues with swallowing, breathing, communicating, eating, and drinking.

An Automated Text Messaging Intervention to Reduce Substance Use Self-Stigma (Project RESTART): Protocol for a Feasibility and Acceptability Pilot Study

For instance, cognitive restructuring, a component of CBT, suggests identifying and challenging one’s distorted thought patterns (such as overgeneralizing or catastrophizing) and reframing these thoughts in more healthy and productive ways [58]. A message using this approach might read as follows: Have you had a bad thought about yourself this week? Let’s think of a reason that thought is NOT true. Here’s an example: “My family might think I’m selfish. But that’s not necessarily true.

At that time, the governor of Georgia declared a Public Health State of Emergency due to COVID-19 and a few weeks thereafter, a mandatory shelter-in-place order was issued statewide. For participant safety, the in-person mindfulness group sessions transitioned on the internet (via Web Ex, although participants chose to join via audio only), and all assessments were conducted on the internet.
