Exploring Climate Change’s Impact on the Cardiopulmonary Health of Adults Living in the Canton of Valais, Switzerland: Protocol for a Development and Usability Pilot Study

Exploring Climate Change’s Impact on the Cardiopulmonary Health of Adults Living in the Canton of Valais, Switzerland: Protocol for a Development and Usability Pilot Study

In recent years, several studies have been conducted on the various components of the relationship between health and climate change in Switzerland, particularly via the Swiss Study on Air Pollution and Lung and Health Diseases in Adults cohort [6]. A review of 22 studies by Cicci et al [7] highlighted positive associations between high temperatures and ischemic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, the risk of congestive heart failure, and the number of emergency department (ED) consultations.

Multilevel Intervention to Increase Patient Portal Use in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Who Access Health Care at Community Health Centers: Single Arm, Pre-Post Pilot Study

Multilevel Intervention to Increase Patient Portal Use in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Who Access Health Care at Community Health Centers: Single Arm, Pre-Post Pilot Study

In adults with diabetes, greater portal use of secure messaging with providers led to improved glycemic control (measured based on hemoglobin A1c [Hb A1c] levels) compared to nonusers [9-12]. Other trials have demonstrated significant reductions in Hb A1c through diabetes self-management education or support (DSMS) via the portal [13-15]. Thus, fostering communication with providers and diabetes self-management support are promising features of portals for adults with diabetes.

Acceptability and Effectiveness of a Fully Web-Based Nutrition and Exercise Program for Individuals With Chronic Disease During COVID-19: Randomized Controlled Trial

Acceptability and Effectiveness of a Fully Web-Based Nutrition and Exercise Program for Individuals With Chronic Disease During COVID-19: Randomized Controlled Trial

Inclusion criteria included adults (aged 18 years and older) with an internet-connected device in their home and the ability to read, write, and speak English. Individuals were eligible if they had cancer (completed an initial course of chemotherapy or radiotherapy but could be on maintenance therapy); had undergone a lung or liver transplant; or had chronic lung disease. All had to graduate from an exercise rehabilitation program before the COVID-19 public health restrictions.

Usage Trends and Data Sharing Practices of Healthcare Wearable Devices Among US Adults: Cross-Sectional Study

Usage Trends and Data Sharing Practices of Healthcare Wearable Devices Among US Adults: Cross-Sectional Study

This study aims to answer the following questions: How has wearable device usage among US adults changed since 2019, and what factors are associated with wearable use in the postpandemic era? What are the key sociodemographic, health, and technological factors that influence US adults’ willingness to share health data from wearable devices with health care providers, and with their family and friends?

Virtual Reality Interventions and Chronic Pain: Scoping Review

Virtual Reality Interventions and Chronic Pain: Scoping Review

Chronic pain affects 50 million US adults [1], and treatments have limited long-term efficacy, significant side effects, or limited accessibility [2-5]. As a result of the continuing opioid overdose crisis, numerous clinical and research guidelines have recommended further study of nonpharmacological options [6-8]. Virtual reality (VR) treatments have the potential to immerse participants within a virtual environment to confer health benefits to users.

Proposal and Strategy for Nursing-Led Research: Protocol for an Unfunded Clinical Trial

Proposal and Strategy for Nursing-Led Research: Protocol for an Unfunded Clinical Trial

We conducted a clinical trial in the clinical trial unit of Hospital Universitario de La Princesa (Madrid) during the months of June 2017 and July 2017 with 59 healthy adults who were randomly allocated to 1 of 3 interventions: (1) using dry topical heat for 7 minutes produced by 2 hot seed bags (n=21), (2) applying controlled pressure from a sphygmomanometer inflated to 100 mm Hg (n=18), and (3) combining heat and pressure (n=20).

Attitudes Toward Psychotherapeutic Treatment and Health Literacy in a Large Sample of the General Population in Germany: Cross-Sectional Study

Attitudes Toward Psychotherapeutic Treatment and Health Literacy in a Large Sample of the General Population in Germany: Cross-Sectional Study

In a Swiss community sample of young adults, no direct association between mental health literacy and the wish for social distance was delineated. Instead, it was shown that increased mental health literacy may also lead to more stigma by enhancing stereotypes of individuals with mental disorders (eg, perceived dangerousness) due to higher endorsement of biogenetic causal explanation of mental disorders [35].

Informal Caregivers Connecting on the Web: Content Analysis of Posts on Discussion Forums

Informal Caregivers Connecting on the Web: Content Analysis of Posts on Discussion Forums

Older adults, in particular, became more comfortable with using the internet and other technologies during the pandemic, with digital connectivity playing an increased role in their lives even after the pandemic [54]. With many older adults caring for spouses, siblings, and friends, access to web-based caregiver forums is a tool that aging adults, for one, can continue to give and receive support. Our study had some limitations.
