Filter by:Alcohol and other drug use is common among people living with HIV in South Africa and is associated with worse engagement in HIV care. There is evidence that healthcare workers in this setting, including community health workers who play a central role in re-engaging patients back into HIV care, exhibit stigmatizing behaviors towards HIV patients who use substances. In general, healthcare worker stigma towards alcohol and other drug use is associated with poorer treatment of patients who use substances, and in this setting, healthcare worker stigma towards alcohol and other drug use has been associated with worse patient engagement in HIV care. In the United States, peer recovery coaches (PRCs), who are trained individuals with lived substance use recovery experience, have helped patients who use substances engage in healthcare. Theoretically, integrating a PRC onto a healthcare team also increases healthcare worker contact with a person with substance use experience, which may be associated with lower stigma. Yet, a PRC model has not yet been tested in South African HIV care. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop and pilot a PRC model integrated into community-based primary care teams providing HIV services in South Africa. The study aims to compare a healthcare team with a PRC to a team without a PRC. The investigators will primarily assess the implementation of this PRC model and rates of patient re-engagement in care.
This study was conducted to examine the experiences and feelings of health professionals while providing care to refugee children and families in pediatric emergency service.
Healthcare providers (HCP) serving the El Paso U.S.-Mexico Border Region will be recruited to compare educational and professional skills interventions focused on the human papillomavirus (HPV). Our hypothesis is that improving provider knowledge and communication strategies about HPV and its vaccine will reduce hesitancy and increase uptake and completion among the populations they serve.
This study will explore and better understand the value, usage, and benefits of a tear-based screening test for breast cancer as a supplemental tool for screening mammograms. This tear-based screening test was developed and validated by Namida Lab, Inc., a high complexity Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified lab.
The objective of this study is to increase the frequency and effectiveness of post code debriefs by piloting a novel intervention tool and partnering clinicians with board certified chaplains trained to facilitate group processes. A post code debrief will involve two aspects: a technical debrief (a discussion to process the technical, procedural aspects of a medical code/cardiopulmonary arrest), which will be led by a clinician, and an emotional debrief (a discussion to process the emotional, existential impact of a medical code/cardiopulmonary arrest), which will be led by a chaplain.
With increasing evidence the management of breast cancer surgery has seen a paradigm shift towards breast conservation, heralding an era of oncoplastic breast surgery. Despite data supporting BCS(breast conservative surgeries) in suitable patients with early breast cancer, a significant percentage of women in India who would be candidates for BCS still decide to undergo mastectomy. The factors that influence these treatment decisions are complex and involve issues regarding access to health care, concerns for cancer recurrence, and the impact of surgery on body image and sexuality. Surgeon plays an important role in patient selection for breast conservation based on clinico-pathological characters, explaining to patient regarding mandatory locoregional radiotherapy and regular follow up, helping patient make an informed decision by providing safety and outcome profile as compared to mastectomy. Surgeon's recommendations are considered as important as patient's perception of body image issues, while making the decision. Surgeon's recommendations are usually based on their knowledge and belief regarding patient's disease characteristics and their perceptions regarding patient's socioeconomic capabilities and perceived compliance to prescribed treatment plan. Hence we are conducting this web based e-survey in surgeons from Private hospitals (breast specific practice) Medical colleges and Regional Cancer Centers (RCC) with an aim to evaluate the to understand knowledge, attitude and practices of primary surgeons regarding breast conservation surgery Vs mastectomy in treatment of breast cancer. We plan to administer the questionnaire to approximately 100 surgeons, equally distributed within aforementioned sectors.
Problem The study will address the problem that no studies have established the Emotional Intelligence (EI) skills required by leaders and managers to engage frontline healthcare professionals in crisis situation like Covid19 in Kenya Purpose The purpose of the qualitative exploratory study is to identify the EI skills Leaders and managers need to engage Frontline Healthcare Professionals in Crisis. The Research Question is: What are the EI skills leaders and managers need to engage frontline healthcare professionals (FHP) during crisis situations such as the Covid19 pandemic?
SARS-CoV-2 transmission is frequently occurring in hospital settings, with numerous reported cases of nosocomial transmission highlighting the vulnerability of healthcare workers. If products proved to be efficacious against COVID-19, why are so many HCW getting COVID-19? Is it related to experience? Is it generated by the exhaustive job? Is there any degree of relationship to stress? These questions are still without fully correct answers. Achieving global benefits for HCW is still waiting.
The purpose of the investigators is to study the psychological impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the members of the Ville Evrard Hospital staff and their close relatives, and to identify potential lockdown conditions that could increase anxiety, anger and depressive symptoms in this population.
Increasingly, patients are keen to record aspects of their medical care, especially in obstetrics and paediatrics. The knowledge of patients and staff in relation to this area is thought to be variable. In addition, the attitudes of patients and staff regarding this practice has not been well studied. This study aims to gather information on patients' use of recording devices to capture audio recordings, photographs or videos. Furthermore it aims to assess patient and staff knowledge and attitudes in relation to this area. This study will involve patients who have recently delivered a baby on the maternity unit or obstetric theatre completing a questionnaire. They will be approached by a study investigator and the study explained. They will then complete a consent form if they are happy to proceed. Following this they will complete the questionnaire. It will also involve the surveying of staff, who will be approached by a study investigator when not directly involved in the clinical care of patients. They will also complete a consent form if they are happy to proceed and then complete the questionnaire.
