Patients will not receive a patient-directed intervention.

Patients will receive a tailored interactive PC-based intervention at a freestanding kiosk.

PC-based tailored intervention

Patients will receive generic printed educational materials about CRCS in the PEC when they arrive at the Main Campus for their appointment.

Printed educational materials

Sally W Vernon, PhD

The primary goal of this research project is to conduct a 5-year prospective randomized trial of a theory-based intervention to increase patient completion of colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) among patients ages 50 to 64 years old.

Specific Aim 1: Identify behavioral, social, and environmental factors associated with CRCS in male and female patients ages 50 to 64 years old in a primary care practice in Houston, Texas.

1.1. Update literature reviews of CRCS adherence. 1.2. Conduct secondary analysis of relevant data from other projects. 1.3. Conduct focus groups with primary care patients to determine their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about CRCS and to gather data to use for development of the educational intervention.

Specific Aim 2: Develop a personal computer (PC)-based tailored interactive intervention based on the transtheoretical (stages of change) model to increase CRCS in accordance with American Cancer Society (ACS) CRCS guidelines.

Specific Aim 3: Evaluate the effectiveness of the PC-based tailored interactive intervention for increasing CRCS through a randomized controlled trial.

Specific Aim 4: Analyze the relationship between a number of predictor variables and CRCS completion in order to develop a more complete conceptual framework for understanding screening adherence.

Specific Aim 5: Conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of the PC-based tailored interactive intervention for increasing CRCS in a primary care setting.

Tailored Interactive Intervention to Increase CRCS

6, 12, and 24 months post intervention, medical charts were reviewed to validate self-reported CRCS behavior.

Survey data were collected at 6,12,and 24 months.

An individual counseling program that was based on TM and included motivational interview techniques was given to the experimental group which involved general information about the importance of weight control, healthy diet, and exercise.

The experimental group was given a Benefits of Healthy Diet and Physical Activity in PCOS Training Booklet during their first counseling session.

The progress of the participants in the control group was tracked routinely without any specific implementation. At the end of the study, the control group was also given the same booklet.

Individual counselling program

Dilek OCALAN, PhD

The main objective of this study was to investigate the impact of individual counseling programs which has been designed from the Transtheoretical Model (TM) suggesting a healthy diet and physical activity for the students diagnosed with PCOS in the management of their syndrome. The data for the analysis was drawn from a sample of 854 students at first and a totally of 67 students were administered the scales. The control (N=33) and experimental groups (N=34) were formed based on a simple randomization technique.

The intervention group was offered a six-hour training program based on the transtheoretical model in order to promote sun protection behavior and to reinforce self-efficacy.

The intervention group was offered a six-hour training program based on the transtheoretical model in order to promote sun protection behavior and to reinforce self-efficacy. The program was prepared by the researchers in consideration of the SunSmart Program implemented in Australia, the SunWise School Program developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The program included various educational tools such as a sun protection story, activity book, PowerPoint presentations, cartoons, and puzzles.

Refresher training was conducted 15 days, 1 month, and 2 months after the initial training. Sun protection behavior and self-efficacy of the children were evaluated at the beginning of the study and six months after the program. As gifts to support their sun protection behavior, the children were given an FDA-approved sunscreen with 50+ SPF, a white cotton short-sleeved T-shirt as protective clothing, sunglasses with 100% UV protection, and a wide-brimmed hat.

education

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of nurse health education and follow up program on sun protection behaviors of children. The study as a randomized controlled group was implemented in February- October 2014 in Turkey. After obtaining the parents' and the children's written consent, data were collected through face-to-face interviews using, the instruments (stages of change, the decisional balance scale, child and parental sun protection behavior form, self-efficacy form) on sun protection based on the transtheoretical model.

Approximately 25% of lifelong sun exposure is formed prior to the age of 18. A significant correlation between exposure to ultraviolet radiation in childhood and skin cancer in adulthood draws attention to the importance of sun protection behaviors to be applied in this period. School-age children are easily reachable to promote preventive health behaviors. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of nurse health education and follow up program on sun protection behaviors of children. The study as a randomized controlled group trial was implemented in February- October 2014. Purposive nonprobability sampling was used to select 25 schools in Izmir Karşıyaka district and research was conducted in two schools where attending the children coming from medium families. Risk assessment for skin cancer was performed by Fitzpatrick classification with 260 children before the study. Out of these children, 144 were found to be risky and were randomized to intervention (n = 40) and control (n = 40) groups according to their age, gender, and skin type. In the survey, the effect size was identified as 0.73 by a 5% error and 80% confidence. After obtaining the parents' and the children's written consent, data were collected through face-to-face interviews using, the instruments (stages of change, the decisional balance scale, child and parental sun protection behavior form, self-efficacy form) on sun protection based on the transtheoretical model. Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Aygün and Ergün (2013). The intervention group was trained about sun protection behaviors in six sessions. Each session lasted 45 minutes. Refresher training was organized on the 15th day, on 1st month 2nd month after the first session. At the beginning and at the end of the program, decisional balance and self-efficacy of children were evaluated. Data were analyzed by frequencies, regression, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, paired-samples t-test, independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Friedman's test, and Chi-square test. Written consent was taken from children and their parents, schools, and the local ethics committee.

The Effect of Nurse Health Education and Follow-up Programme on Sun Protection

examines self efficacy regarding protection from the sun. It is also scored on a five-point scale (1 - not at all confident, 2 - not very confident, 3 - moderately confident, 4 - very confident, and 5 - extremely confident)

measures the incidence of sun protection behavior when outdoors for periods longer than 15 minutes. It is scored on a five-point scale ranging from 1 to 5 (1 - never, 2 - rarely, 3 - sometimes, 4 - often, and 5 - always)
