The Effect of Group-Based Early Parent Education on Development in Preterm Infants.

Objectives: This study explored how group-based early parent education impacts development in preterm infants.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study, with a historical control group, included preterm infants (n = 246) with corrected ages (CAs) of 0-3 months. Those visiting the clinic between July 2017 and December 2018 formed the control group (n = 145), whereas those visiting between January 2019 and February 2020 (n = 101) constituted the education group.

Comparison of hospital based and home based exercise on quality of life, and neck and shoulder function in patients with spinal accessary nerve injury after head and neck cancer surgery.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of hospital-based and home-based exercise programs on quality of life (QOL) and neck and shoulder function of patients who underwent head and neck cancer (HNC) surgery.

Methods: This clinical trial included 40 patients with neck and shoulder dysfunction after HNC. The exercise program included range of motion (ROM) exercises, massage, stretching, and strengthening exercises.

The effects of modified constraint-induced movement therapy and mirror therapy on upper extremity function and its influence on activities of daily living.

[Purpose] Modified constraint-induced movement therapy and mirror therapy are recognized as stroke rehabilitation methods. The aim of the present study was to determine whether these therapies influence upper extremity function and whether upper extremity function influences the ability to perform activities of daily living in further. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-eight stroke patients participated in the study.

Effects of virtual reality on upper extremity function and activities of daily living performance in acute stroke: a double-blind randomized clinical trial.

Aim: To examine the effects of conventional therapy (CT) combined with intensive virtual reality (VR) program on upper extremity function and activities of daily living (ADL) in individuals in the acute stage of stroke.

Method: Twenty-six individuals were randomly assigned to the control or experimental group. The control group received CT, while the experimental group received VR training in addition to CT on same day.

Social inclusion and length of stay as determinants of health among North Korean refugees in South Korea.

Objectives: Although the number of North Koreans seeking asylum in South Korea has increased notably in recent years, studies on the health of North Koreans residing in South Korea are rare. This study examined the roles of social inclusion and the length of stay on refugees' self-rated health.

Methods: Employing a data set (n = 1,111) created by the South Korean government, we conduct multivariate logistic regression analyses.
