A client satisfaction survey was undertaken in two adult psychiatric outpatient clinics. The anonymous self-report questionnaire covering demographic, setting and satisfaction with service variables was endorsed by 203 participants. The mean age of the subjects was 42.5 +/- 19 years, with a small majority (58.6%) of females. Overall satisfaction with psychiatric care was high (79.8%). None of the demographic or setting variables correlated significantly with satisfaction. Psychoeducation was significantly correlated with level of satisfaction with services. These findings further emphasize the importance of psychoeducation by service providers in mental health.
The Aim of this study is to verify the effects of adapted physical activity on the cardiorespiratory health and body composition of obese diabetic patients. Thirtytwo type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients (11 men, 21 women), aged 39-70 years, were randomly divided into two groups according to body mass index, group 1: 20 overweight subjects (BMI <30) and group 2: 12 obese subjects (BMI> 30) undergoing a program Adapted physical activity of moderate intensity to severe during 3 months at the rate of 3 sessions of one hour per week. The paired student's t-test was used to evaluate the effect of the intervention program on the 6-minute walk test, arterial blood pressure, heart rate, weight, waist circumference, total fat, and visceral and lean mass. After 3 months of the practice of adapted physical activities, we observed significant changes in their resting heart rate of-6.06 bpm (p<0.05), systolic blood pressure of-7.8 mmHg (p<0.05), fasting blood glucose of-86.68mg/dl (p<0.05), maximum oxygen consumption of +6.13ml / kg / min (p<0.05), total fat of-5.89% (p<0.05), weight of-8.27kg (p<0.05), body mass index of-5.17 kg/m2 (p<0.05) and waist circumference of-5.66 cm (p<0.05) and their muscular percentage increased significantly by + 9.17%. Regular physical activity allows type 2 diabetics patients to improve their cardiorespiratory fitness and change their body composition.
Objective: To verify the effects of functional rehabilitation associated with a program of physical activities adapted to the biomechanical parameters and perception of the effort of the elderly. Methods: A longitudinal experimental study of 30 elderly people living in the old people's home was conducted during a 6-month period from July 2017 to January 2018. It consisted in evaluating the biomechanical parameters and perception of the effort of older people a functional rehabilitation program associated with the practice of adapted physical activities. The parametric t test of student was used to compare the averages of different parameters of study before and after the intervention program.The statistical test results used were interpreted at the p <0.05 significance level for statistical decision making. Results: After 6 months of intervention, the elderly significantly improved their biomechanical parameters: balance (p = 0.002), rate (p < 0.01), walking speed (p = 0.03), strength and muscular strength of the limbs lower (p = 0.041), perception with effort (p = 0.03). This program also allowed them to reduce their risk of falling (p = 0.057) and to increase their motor autonomy (p = 0.003). Conclusion: This study shows that a biomechanical evaluation associated with functional rehabilitation improves the balance and motor autonomy of the elderly, which leads to an improvement in their quality of life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
