Background:Patients with hip osteoarthritis tend to develop stereotype and energy demanding movement strategies with potential negative effects on disease progression and daily life functioning. A multi-perspective view on movement quality is applied in the physiotherapy modality Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT), with its movement awareness learning pedagogy. BBAT has been found beneficial for functional movement quality, symptoms, and psychological aspects of health in patients with various long-lasting conditions.Objectives:To investigate the short-term (6 months) effects of BBAT, added to Patient Education (PE) compared with PE only in patients with hip osteoarthritis.Methods:A block-randomized controlled trial with 6 months follow-up was conducted. Patients were allocated to 3.5 hours of PE plus 12 weekly sessions of BBAT, each lasting 90 minutes (intervention group), or to PE only (comparison group). Primary outcomes: Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain during walking and Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, subscale Activities of Daily Life (HOOS A). Secondary outcomes included physical capacity tests: Chair test, Stairs test, six-minutes walking test (6MWT), movement quality evaluation: Body Awareness Rating Scale – Movement Quality and Experience (BARS-MQE), and self-reported measures: Activity level (UCLA), function (HOOS subscales P, S, SP, QL and Harris Hip Score (HHS), self-efficacy (Arthritis Self-efficacy Scale, ASES), and health (EuroQol, EQ-5D-5L).Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) on pain and function was registered at 6 months.ANCOVA of change was used in intention-to-treat and per protocol analysis.Results:101 patients were included, average age 63 years, 80% female. There was no difference in change between the groups on the primary outcomes at 6 months. However, movement quality (BARS-MQE) improved more (p<0.001) in the intervention group, and the patients reported more improvement in pain (PGIC) than the comparison patients (p=0.031). In per protocol analysis, including 30 patients who attended at least 10 BBAT sessions, intervention patients had statistically significant better scores on self-efficacy (ASES pain, p=0.049), health (EQ5D5L VAS, p=0.037) and function (HHS, p=0.029) than the comparison patients.Conclusion:Patients with hip osteoarthritis were not found by the primary outcome measures to improve more by BBAT added to PE than by PE alone. Movement quality improved, however, significantly more in the intervention group. With sufficient compliance to BBAT, significant more improvement in additional health indicators was demonstrated.References:[1] Egloff C, Hugle T, Valderrabano V.

AbstractBackgroundOne-to-one peer support is a resource-oriented approach for patients with severe mental illness. Existing trials provided inconsistent results and commonly have methodological shortcomings, such as poor training and role definition of peer supporters, small sample sizes, and lack of blinded outcome assessments.MethodsThis is a randomised controlled trial comparing one-to-one peer support with treatment as usual. Eligible were patients with severe mental illnesses: psychosis, major depression, bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder of more than two years’ duration. A total of 216 patients were recruited through in- and out-patient services from four hospitals in Hamburg, Germany, with 114 allocated to the intervention group and 102 to the control group. The intervention was one-to-one peer support, delivered by trained peers and according to a defined role specification, in addition to treatment as usual over the course of six months, as compared to treatment as usual alone. Primary outcome was self-efficacy measured on the General Self-Efficacy Scale at six-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes included quality of life, social functioning, and hospitalisations.ResultsPatients in the intervention group had significantly higher scores of self-efficacy at the six-month follow-up. There were no statistically significant differences on secondary outcomes in the intention to treat analyses.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that one-to-one peer support delivered by trained peer supporters can improve self-efficacy of patients with severe mental disorders over a one-year period. One-to-one peer support may be regarded as an effective intervention. Future research should explore the impact of improved self-efficacy on clinical and social outcomes.

Abstract Objectives Rigorous evidence is needed to support uptake of recommendations to include low glycemic index (GI) foods in daily meal planning as an effective dietary self-care strategy for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We evaluated the effectiveness of a 12-week web-based GI-targeted nutrition education intervention on dietary intakes and GI-related knowledge among adults with T2D. Methods Participants were randomized to a control group (n = 34) that received standard printed copies of Canada's Food Guide and Diabetes Canada's GI resources or an intervention group (n = 33) that received those same materials, plus an online platform with six self-directed learning modules and supplementary print material. Each module consisted of a customized video, links to reliable websites, chat rooms, and quizzes. Evidence-based GI concept information included GI values of foods and advice for low-GI shopping, recipes, and cooking tips by a Registered Dietitian. Preferred supports through email, text messaging, phone calls, or postal mail to reinforce participants’ learning were also provided. The primary outcome, average daily dietary GI intake, was assessed using 3-day food records. Additional measures including GI knowledge and self-efficacy, glycated hemoglobin A1c, lipids, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, and computer proficiency, were assessed at baseline and at three months post-intervention. Results Participants (N = 67) were 64% men; mean (standard deviation [SD]) age 69.5 (9.3) years, with mean diabetes duration of 19.0 (13.7) years, BMI 30.1 (5.7) kg/m2 and A1c 7.1 (1.2)% at baseline. Mean daily GI intake decreased in the intervention group by 2.79 (7.77) compared to a 0.76 (6.48) increase in the control group (adjusted mean difference [95% CI]; −3.77 [−6.95, −0.58]). Mean GI knowledge 2.14 [0.59, 3.69], understanding of GI concept 1.65 [0.85, 2.44] and self-efficacy for consuming low-GI foods 1.29 [0.51, 2.07] increased among the intervention group (P &lt; 0.01) compared with the control group. Conclusions Web-based GI-targeted education program improved the quality of carbohydrate consumption among adults with T2D and may have been mediated through increases in knowledge and self-efficacy. Web-based nutrition education may be an effective alternative in this population. Funding Sources Canadian Foundation for Dietetic Research.

AbstractObjective:The study aimed to assess the impact of a game-based nutritional intervention on food consumption, nutritional knowledge and self-efficacy in the adoption of healthy eating practices.Design:This cluster randomised controlled trial included both male and female high school students from private schools in the Federal District, Brazil. Four schools were randomly selected for each group. Investigated variables were age, sex, monthly family income, maternal education level, dietary perceptions and practices, nutritional knowledge and self-efficacy in the adoption of healthy eating practices.Setting:Intervention group participants were instructed to play Rango Cards, a digital game developed for the study, on their own, for a period of 7–17 d, while the control group was not provided with any game or material during the study.Participants:The study included 319 adolescents (mean age = 15·8 (sd 0·7) years).Results:Significant reductions were observed in the intervention group compared with the control group for the following variables: habit of eating while watching TV or studying and having meals at fast food restaurants. The intervention group showed increased knowledge of the effects of fruit and vegetable consumption as well as improved self-efficacy in the adoption of healthy eating practices such as reducing Na intake and preparing healthy meals.Conclusions:The design of Rango Cards is potentially capable of effecting positive changes. Therefore, the digital game promotes autonomy and self-care among adolescents with regard to healthy eating.
