BACKGROUND Increasing physical activity can improve cognition in healthy and cognitively impaired adults; however, the benefits for cancer survivors are unknown. The current study examined a 12‐week intervention, compared with control condition, on objective self‐reported among breast survivors. METHODS Sedentary were randomized to an exercise arm (n = 43) or 44). At baseline at 12 weeks, was measured National Institutes of Health Cognitive Toolbox, using Patient‐Reported Outcomes...
There has been a rapid increase in the use of technology-based activity trackers to promote behavior change. However, little is known about how individuals these on day-to-day basis or tracker relates increasing physical activity.The aims were minute level data collected from Fitbit throughout intervention examine patterns and their relationships with success based ActiGraph-measured moderate vigorous (MVPA).Participants included 42 female breast cancer survivors randomized arm 12-week...
While there are qualitative studies examining the delirium-related experiences of patients, family caregivers, and nurses separately, little is known about common aspects delirium burden among all three groups. We describe burdens from perspectives nurses. conducted semistructured interviews with 18 patients who had recently experienced a episode, 16 15 routinely cared for delirium. recruited participants large, urban teaching hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. Interviews were recorded...
Emerging research suggests that increasing physical activity can help improve cognition among breast cancer survivors. However, little is known about the mechanism through which impacts survivors' cognition.The objective of this secondary analysis examined and psychological function potentially linking with changes in survivors a randomized controlled trial where exercise arm had greater improvements than control arm.A total 87 sedentary were to 12-week intervention (n=43) or condition...
Delirium creates distinct emotional distress in patients and family caregivers, yet there are limited tools to assess the experience. Our objective was develop separate patient caregiver delirium burden instruments test their content construct validity. Two hundred forty-seven 213 caregivers were selected from an ongoing prospective cohort of medical-surgical admissions aged ≥70 years old. New developed used measure subjective experiences in-hospital delirium. severity measured by Confusion...
Despite many potential benefits of physical activity during and after breast cancer treatment, levels typically decline from pre- to posttreatment. Most previous research has relied on self-reported activity. The purpose this study were assess patterns daily, objectively measured throughout chemotherapy for cancer, identify predictors patterns. Participants given a Fitbit before starting asked wear it chemotherapy. Restricted cubic splines assessed nonlinear total (TPA) moderate-to-vigorous...
Background: Adolescence and early adulthood are pivotal stages for the onset of mental health disorders development behaviors. Digital behavioral activation (BA) interventions, with or without coaching support, hold promise addressing risk factors both physical problems by offering scalable approaches to expand access evidence-based support.Objective: This two-arm pilot study evaluated two versions a digital product, Vira, their feasibility, acceptability, preliminary effectiveness improve...
Younger breast cancer survivors (YBCS) consistently report poorer quality of life (QOL) than older survivors. Increasing physical activity (PA) may improve QOL, but this has been understudied in YBCS. This single arm pilot study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability a 3-month, peer-delivered, remote intervention to increase PA QOL Data were collected from October 2019 - July 2020. Participants (n = 34, 43.1 ± 5.5 years old, 46 34.4 months post-diagnosis, BMI 30.2 7.4 kg/m2) completed...
Volunteers can provide staff-directed sensory inputs to infants hospitalized in the NICU, but research on volunteer programs is limited.To evaluate feasibility of a developmental care partner (DCP) program level III NICU and determine its relationship with provider burnout infant infection rates.DCPs were trained input infants, based behavioral cues observed by occupational therapists nursing staff, medically stable infants. Feasibility was assessed documenting process training utilizing...
Younger breast cancer survivors consistently report a greater impact of their experience on quality life compared with older survivors, including higher rates body image disturbances, sexual dysfunction, and fatigue. One potential strategy to improve is through physical activity, but this has been understudied in younger who often decrease activity during after treatment.The aim study explore the feasibility acceptability technology-based, remotely delivered, peer-led intervention for...

<h3>Importance</h3> The ability to rate delirium severity is key providing optimal care for older adults, and such ratings would allow clinicians target patients with severe monitor response treatment, recovery time, prognosis; assess nursing burden staffing needs; and, ultimately, provide more appropriate patient-centered care. Current measures have been limited in their content, gradations, measurement characteristics. <h3>Objective</h3> To examine the internal consistency, reliability,...
