Background Research is needed on what influences recruitment to smoking reduction trials, and how to increase their reach. The present study aimed to i) assess the feasibility of recruiting a disadvantaged population, ii) examine the effects of recruitment methods on participant characteristics, iii) identify resource requirements for different recruitment methods, and iv) to qualitatively assess the acceptability of recruitment. This was done as part of a pilot two-arm trial of the effectiveness of a novel behavioral support intervention focused on increasing physical activity and reducing smoking, among disadvantaged smokers not wishing to quit. Methods Smokers were recruited through mailed invitations …

BackgroundSmoking during pregnancy is the main preventable cause of poor birth outcomes. Improved methods are needed to help women to stop smoking during pregnancy. Pregnancy provides a compelling rationale for physical activity (PA) interventions as cessation medication is contraindicated or ineffective, and an effective PA intervention could be highly cost-effective.ObjectiveTo examine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a PA intervention plus standard behavioural support for smoking cessation relative to behavioural support alone for achieving smoking cessation at the end of pregnancy.DesignMulticentre, two-group, pragmatic randomised controlled trial and economic evaluation with follow-up at the end of pregnancy and 6 months postnatally. Randomisation …

Family Involvement In Picu Rounds, Lyvonne N. Tume, Jos M. Latour Jan 2015

Family Involvement In Picu Rounds, Lyvonne N. Tume, Jos M. Latour

School of Nursing and Midwifery

In pediatrics, the family are the centre of the child’s life, and crucial to their psychosocial wellbeing and their recovery from illness. Despite the impetus to improve family centered care in pediatric and neonatal intensive care units, practices are not consistent worldwide. In most North American, Antipodean and Northern European PICUs family visitation is not restricted. However, in some countries restrictions still apply to family access, preventing the delivery of family centered care (1, 2). Even if families are present in the PICU, their involvement in medical rounds is often restricted or not encouraged. Yet, between 85 – 100% of …
