Filter by:In processes such as illness, hospital, medical procedures, and nursing interventions, the fears experienced by children should be reduced before the procedure. It may be more effective to give interventions to reduce children's fears in a school setting rather than in a complex environment such as a hospital. In this context, there is a need for experimental studies that reveal the effect of therapeutic play on nursing interventions and fear of medical materials in preschool children.
This study was a double-blind randomized controlled trial conducted to assess the effectiveness of high protein liquid dietary supplementation in malnourished hospitalized patients. The patients were assessed for their nutritional status based on ESPEN 2015 criteria. Patients who experienced malnutrition will be divided into 2 groups, namely the control group which was given a normal protein liquid diet, while the intervention group was given high protein liquid diet supplementation as much as 2 bottles (200 mL) per day for 7-10 days. Furthermore, the nutritional status of the patient was assessed.
The geriatric population is exposed to poly-medication. Furthermore, old people have important pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic changes that expose to much drug iatrogenic. Adverse drug effects are a great cause for hospitalization that is why the knowledge of the complete list of medications taken by the patient is necessary. The poly-medication in elderly can lead to extremely serious clinical consequences and significant costs. Reference documents specific to geriatrics guide the doctor in therapeutic choices. On the one hand, the Laroche's criteria lists all PIM of the French pharmacopoeia in elderly. On the other hand, STOPP/START criteria are a tool for detect PIM listing inappropriate drugs and criteria of potentially drug omissions. This has been validated in French language. It is important that any changes proposed by the geriatrician resulting in just prescription is sustainable beyond the hospitalization to prevent the recurrence of adverse effects. Effective community-hospital coordination is essential. Medication reconciliation is defined as the formal process of checking the complete, accurate list of a patient's previous medication — including drug name, dosage, frequency, and route — and comparing it with the prescription after a transition of care (on admission, after transfer to another medical unit, and/or at discharge). Two groups of patients will be created, one for which medication reconciliation at discharge will be practiced and the other a similar process but not standardized. Four to eight weeks after the discharge, the member of the pharmacy team is calling the usual community pharmacy to get the first non-hospital prescription by fax and compare the number of PIM with the prescription before hospitalization.
The study aims to assess whether a follow home visit after discharge of frail elderly patients from Nykøbing Falster Hospital reduces the risk of readmission within 180 days. Staff from the hospital ward identifies patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria and refers the patients to two project nurses at the hospital (follow home team). One of the project nurses gets the informed consent from the patient, or in case of a patient who is not able to give informed consent, from the family and general practitioner. The patient is then randomized to intervention (follow home visit after discharge) or control. In the intervention group, the hospital project nurse and the patient meets with the municipal nurse in the patient's home on the same day the patient is being discharged from the hospital. During this visit the discharge from the hospital and the actual functioning of the patient in his own surroundings is reviewed, using a structured assessment.
