Filter by:To evaluate whether the use of augmented reality (AR) for visualizing 3D models can be a valuable addition to patient education regarding orthognathic procedures compared to using only 2D visualization (on a computer screen).
Patients with fibrotic insterstitial lung disease (ILD) participating in inpatient rehabilitation or in outpatient pulmonary care will be invited to participate in this observational study. Patients will fill out questionnaire regarding quality of life and symptoms at baseline and follow-up (at the end of rehabilitation or after the second outpatient ILD consultation). Additionally, clinical data obtained in clinical routine or for the IIP registry will be used for this project. The aim is to assess changes in self-efficacy and quality of life over time and to establish a control cohort for a later feasibility study on a educational and self-management intervention (currently in planning).
Purpose: To evaluate preimplantation genetic testing counseling interventions on patients undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment. Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT) allows patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) to screen embryos for genetic disorders. Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is the testing most commonly ordered, and it screens for whole chromosome and large partial chromosome duplications or deletions. Currently, patient counseling varies based on the clinic, ranging from appointments to group seminars with a genetic counselor (GC), geneticist or reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) physicians for education regarding PGT. Patient knowledge regarding PGT has been varied with some studies indicating sufficient knowledge, while other studies have shown a potential lack of knowledge. One study indicated a third of patients had regret regarding their decision of whether or not to use PGT-A during IVF and another study indicated patients who choose to undergo PGT did so for reasons that were not evidence based. Additionally, educational materials have been illustrated to be inconsistent and with inappropriate literacy in regards to PGT counseling. One study has shown the potential of improvement with written intervention amongst providers and patients in regards to PGT related to a single genetic condition. The investigators hope to assess the efficacy of PGT-A educational and counseling interventions on patients undergoing IVF.
The aim of the study is to analyse the quality of information that patients and relatives of different types of cancer receive through social networks on the subject of incontinence after cancer surgery.
The purpose of the study is to develop and evaluate a multi-level intervention aimed at increasing access and use of patient portals for diabetes management (MAP) in community health centers (CHCs).
Patients presenting for colonoscopy at one of the participating centers will be asked to participate in the present study after careful evaluation of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Before inclusion, all patients have to sign the written informed consent. All participating patients will receive PLENVU, a well-known and approved bowel preparation agent. Patients are randomly assigned in two groups. Patients in group 1 are informed in traditional way on how to use the bowel preparation agent. This way includes discussion with the physician and nurse on how to use the bowel preparation agent and a written documentation, highlighting the individual steps again. Patients in group 2 will receive in addition a QR-code referring to an App, available for free in all App stores, explaining to the patient in detail when and how to use the bowel preparation agent. The patient is receiving the same questionnaire (please see attached) in both groups and asked to bring the filled form on the day of the examination. Endoscopy is performed in standard way and effectiveness of the bowel preparation is specifically highlighted by the physician on the documentation report. Finally, data is analyzed regarding effectiveness of the QR code regarding patient satisfaction, acceptability and quality of the bowel preparation.
The potential health gains from healthy lifestyles are very well-known, what is still not known is how to help people to adopt these lifestyles, by means of brief interventions feasible in routine general practice. This study was designed to explore the feasibility and efficacy of innovative implementation strategies for the promotion physical activity, diet and smoking abstinence in primary care. The investigators hypothesize that collegiate planning between practitioners, researchers and managers, with a socio-ecological perspective and taking into account the real context of collaborating centers, will guarantee the sustainability and effectiveness of these programs.
