NCT07279753
This study examined the effects of a tactical training program based on critical thinking (TPCT) on the tactical efficiency and decision-making performance of university futsal players. The intervention was designed to strengthen players' ability to interpret the dynamics of play, anticipate opponents' actions, and generate adaptive tactical responses under competitive conditions. The program followed a socio-constructivist framework, promoting learning through problem solving and interaction among teammates. Training sessions combined representative game situations, reflective questioning, and guided tactical discussions. A single-group pre-post design was implemented. Thirteen university players participated voluntarily after providing informed consent and receiving approval from the institutional ethics committee. Data were collected before and after the intervention to assess individual and collective tactical performance, goal effectiveness, and time of ball possession. The study aimed to provide evidence on the educational and performance impact of a critical thinking-based tactical approach in futsal, contributing to contemporary models of athlete development and pedagogical innovation in team sports.
NCT04940936
A Patient Decision Aid (PtDA) is developed during a workshop in close collaboration with selected patients. The PtDA is subsequently used in the consultation between patient and physician to facilitate their shared decision on the dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for lung tumors located less than 1 cm from the thoracic wall. Hypothesis: The use of a PtDA will increase the extent of Shared Decision Making (SDM) during the consultation and result in patients being more directly involved in the planning of their treatment.
NCT07167927
The goal of this pilot hybrid type I efficacy/implementation trial is to assess a newly developed decision support tool patients, parents, and providers to use during surgical treatment decision making for neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS). Results from this pilot will inform the design of a future larger effectiveness trial of the decision support tool. Participants will either receive usual care or receive the decision support tool. Researchers will assess the decision made, decision quality, individual affective, cognitive, and behavioral effects, and feasibility and acceptability of tool use. They will also collect potential barriers and facilitators to implementation and feedback about the tool and study design to maximize likelihood of successful deployment of the tool into clinical practice and inform the design of a future trial. The outcomes measures will be used to inform potential effect size estimates to inform a future trial.
NCT07235735
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if laughter yoga can improve both individual and organizational outcomes in nurse managers. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does laughter yoga lower burnout and stress levels in nurse managers? * Does laughter yoga improve work-life quality and job performance? * Does laughter yoga help nurse managers make better decisions and solve problems more effectively? * Does laughter yoga lower compassion fatigue and support positive approaches to workplace conflict? Researchers will compare a laughter yoga group with a control group to see if there are meaningful differences. Participants will: * Join structured laughter yoga sessions for a defined period (weekly sessions). * Complete surveys before and after the program about stress, burnout, work-life quality, decision-making, problem solving, job performance, compassion fatigue, and conflict approaches. * Continue their usual work while attending sessions.

The purpose of this stuidy are: (1) to explore the information needs of parents having children with cancer when making treatment decisions; (2) to develop a Taiwan version of the Control Preferences Scale for decision support aids; (3) to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of involving minor cancer patients and their parents in treatment decision-making.
NCT03886025
This study aims to (i) assess the effects of combined tDCS and cognitive training on decision-making on a trained task (Iowa Gambling Task; IGT); and (ii) test generalization to a closely related cognitive domain, namely motor impulsivity. It is hypothesized that combined anodal tDCS and cognitive training will result in more advantageous decisions and better impulse control than combined sham tDCS and cognitive training.
NCT03762239
Previous observational studies have reported an association between higher air pollution exposure and lower attention in children. With this project, the investigators aim to confirm this association in adolescents using an experimental design. In addition, the study will assess the relationship between air pollution exposure and individual preferences with respect to risk, time and social considerations. High school students in 3rd grade (ESO, 14-15 years of age) in different high schools in the Barcelona province (Spain) will be invited to participate. For each class in each high school, participating students will be randomly split into two equal-sized groups. Each group will be assigned to a different classroom where they will complete several activities during two hours, including an attention test (Flanker task) and a reduced version of the Global Preferences Survey. One of the classrooms will have an air purifier that will clean the air. The other classroom will have the same device but without the filters, so it will only re-circulate the air without cleaning it. Students will be masked to intervention allocation. The investigators hypothesize that students assigned to the clean air classroom will have better scores in the attention test, and that decision-making will also present differences in the two classrooms.
NCT06046625
The care of patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in the head-neck area is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. A key component in this care is the need and experience of patients. However, studies on the experiences and needs of patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in the head-neck region are lacking.
NCT06828900
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate different decision-support interventions to help parents make informed treatment decisions for their children with ADHD. The study will compare four approaches to assess their impact on decision-making quality, decisional conflict, and treatment adherence among parents of children aged 6-17 years diagnosed with ADHD. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does providing parents with decision-support tools improve decision-making quality compared to standard care? Do decision aid, decision aid + decision coaching, and AI-driven support further enhance parental self-efficacy, knowledge, and adherence to treatment decisions? Standard care (physician consultation only) A written decision aid (structured booklet) Decision aid + decision coaching (booklet + one-on-one coaching session) AI-driven support (interaction with an AI tool) Participants will: Complete a baseline questionnaire before the intervention Receive their assigned decision-support intervention (if applicable) Complete follow-up questionnaires at 2 weeks and 3 months after the intervention Report on treatment decisions and medication adherence over 3 months This study will determine whether structured decision aids, coaching, or AI-driven tools improve parental decision-making and treatment adherence in ADHD care.
NCT05088694
Researcher from UNC Greensboro have partnered with Prevention Strategies and key stakeholders from the Kingdom of Bahrain to conduct a study using the innovative, engineering-inspired methodological approach, the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST), to optimize and evaluate the Peaceful Coexistence and Anti-Extremism middle and high school curricula. No other curriculum targeting tolerance and/or extremism has been optimized using the state-of-the-art MOST methodology. The overall goal of the project is that the optimized versions of Peaceful Coexistence and Anti-Extremism curricula will be used across the Kingdom of Bahrain and translated for use in other countries to combat the spread of extremism and intolerance. Additionally, the D.A.R.E. keepin' it REAL (kiR) and D.A.R.E. myPlaybook high school programs will be evaluated as part of the Peaceful Coexistence and Anti-Extremism evaluation.
NCT05717075
The goal of this cross-over randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effects of medical rounds with parents. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How feasible the protocol of this study is to include parents in the medical round? * Does the Family Round promote the quality of family centered care in the NICU perceived by parents and healthcare staff? * Does the Family Round promote parent-infant bonding? * Does the Family Round reduce parents' anxiety? * Does the Family Round increase parents' satisfaction? * Does the Family Round improve staff's communication skills to integrate parents in the discussion of medical rounds? Participants will participate in the Family Round for two weeks, which is organized by healthcare staff following a protocol aiming to integrate parents into the discussion. They will be compared to the two-week period without the Family Round.

NCT06355999
Suppose that observers are trying to classify a spot on the skin as normal or abnormal and suppose that the two attributes that are important are the color and shape of the spot. The investigators have found that perceptual decisions of this short are shaped by the prevalence of the target abnormality and by the feedback that observers (Os) receive. If abnormal spots are rare (low prevalence), Os will tend to become more conservative about calling spots abnormal. In this experiment, Os see items defined by color and shape. They are looking for one combination (bumpy green). Bumpy green targets can be common (50% prevalence) or rare (10%). Os in one group will get feedback about their responses based on color. The other group will receive feedback based on shape. The investigators will look for effects of prevalence and of the type of feedback. The goal is to better understand perceptual decisions in settings like clinical evaluation of skin lesions.
NCT05364801
Except for exaggerated situations in which aspiration risk seems obvious (or absent), the choice of a rapid sequence induction protocol for general anesthesia is often made under uncertainty, according to the individual assessment of the balance between the aspiration risk on one hand and the anaphylaxis risk induced by short-acting curares on the other hand. The impact of anxiety and impulsivity on the choice of induction protocols under uncertainty has never been studied before. In order to investigate this issue, an online anonymous survey has been designed and will be sent to the anesthesiologists of the Bourgogne Franche-Comté and Grand Est regions in France. The primary objective of this study is to assess the impact of trait-anxiety using the STAI-Y2 form on the decision-making process of anesthesiologists during the choice of an induction protocol for patients at risk of aspiration. The secondary objectives are to characterize decision-making profiles, to measure the implicit dimension of anxiety using an Implicit association test, to study the impact of impulsivity on decision-making processes under uncertainty using the short version of UPPS-P scale and to study the role of socio-demographic data and professional history in these decisions.
NCT03794700
The goal of this project is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a hospice decision aid among a diverse population of older adults at multiple stages of illness (Aim 1) and to determine the preliminary efficacy of the hospice decision aid on decision quality, hospice knowledge, and values-concordance (Aim 2). By testing the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a novel hospice Patient Decision Aid (PTDa) in a diverse population of older adults, additionally the study will simultaneously explore barriers to PtDA implementation in both an outpatient primary care and inpatient palliative care setting. The study will also gather sufficient pilot data to support a subsequent effectiveness/implementation trial and thus address the absence of quality of SDM interventions for end-of-life care decision-making.
NCT05424809
Background: Shared decision-making is a process where health professionals and patients work together through conversation and using tools to make the best possible decision for the person. Patient decision aids provide information based on the best available evidence, support the deliberative process, and further help clarifies individual patient values and preferences. Incorporating shared decision-making in clinical practice is challenging. Hypothesis: A proposed shared decision-making implementation model is feasible and improves patients' knowledge of possible treatment options, as well as patients' perception and degree of satisfaction with the decision-making process. Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of implementing a shared decision-making model in a tertiary university hospital. Methods: It is proposed to carry out a pilot randomized clinical study (ratio 1:1), with two arms, in parallel, open, single center. Adult patients from two clinical processes will be included: a) Obesity (treatment options: bariatric surgery or medical management (healthy habits +/- pharmacological treatment), and b) Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease (ACKD) (treatment options: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or conservative treatment). Since it is a pilot study, the investigators estimated a random sample of between 20 to 40 participants per intervention group and control group (total sample 40 to 80 per pathology) would be needed. The intervention group will carry out the shared decision-making model, and the control group will receive the usual clinical practice with detailed information from a health professional. The primary outcomes of interest to be evaluated are a) feasibility; b) quality of the decision and the decision-making process.
