Filter by:THE PROBLEM: Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) ask patients about their healthcare service experience. It gives them a voice to share their views. PREMs allow healthcare providers (HCPs) to see where care is good, and where they could improve. Vascular surgery is a surgical speciality looking after people's blood vessels (arteries and veins). There is no PREM available for vascular patients. The research team want to create a PREM for this patient group. WHY IT IS IMPORTANT: A PREM allows HCPs to record and understand patients' experiences of their treatment. It gives patients a way to provide feedback on their healthcare experience. PREMs can help HCPs make changes to patients' care, identifying areas of good practice and areas for improvement. The Welsh Government is keen to support the use of PREMs. AIMS: To develop a PREM specific to vascular surgery patients. RESEARCH PLAN: The research team will summarise the literature about PREMs in surgery. The research team will then run focus groups and interviews with patients and staff to create a 'draft' PREM for vascular patients in Wales. The 'draft' PREM will be translated into Welsh. In the second phase, a larger number of vascular patients (100-300 depending on how long the 'draft' PREM is) from hospitals across Wales will complete the questionnaire. Statistical tests will look at the results to see if the questionnaire works well to capture patients' experiences. Based on these results, small changes will be made to make the 'draft' PREM better. This will make sure the 'final PREM' is ready for widespread use in Wales and beyond. PATIENT AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT: The patients' experience team at CAVUHB has reviewed our patients' materials. Our research team includes PPI co-applicants (DC and AH). DC a double amputee who has had many vascular operations. DC has experience raising awareness about vascular disease through public forums like the Limbless Association Charity and BBC Radio Wales. AH has issues with her leg due to smoking and had a keyhole operation to help with that. She had some problems after the procedure This is her first time as a PPI representative. DC and AH supported our research design and will be steering group members. Also, our research focuses on giving patients a voice and will include patients across Wales. A diverse group of patients will be involved across all stages of the PREM development.
The Collaborative Open Research Initiative Study (CORIS) is a groundbreaking international research endeavor aimed at exploring vital topics within the field of health professions education. At its core, CORIS embodies the spirit of inclusivity by opening its doors to contributors from all corners of the globe, putting the power of research into the hands of the global community and fostering an environment of open collaboration and meaningful contribution. We invite anyone and everyone to join as collaborators and suggest questions for inclusion in the survey, ensuring that the research process is enriched by diverse perspectives. As a collaborator, you will not only have the opportunity to actively engage in survey design, question formulation, and the entire research process from start to finish, but also gain the prospect of achieving valuable publications, which may boost your professional career.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to determine feasibility and explore whether immediate versus delayed patient financial incentives improve patient engagement with self-monitoring of blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension at Louisiana federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do patients randomized to receive financial incentives on a weekly basis during the study (immediate) have better adherence to blood pressure self-monitoring compared to patients randomized to receive financial incentives at the end of the study (delayed)? - Do patients randomized to immediate financial incentives have better blood pressure control compared to patients randomized to delayed incentives? Participants will: - attend a baseline visit to measure blood pressure, respond to a baseline survey, and receive remote patient monitoring devices and instructions to take home with them (home blood pressure monitor, wrist-worn sensor to track sleep activity, and associated apps) - receive a random allocation to one of two groups: control condition (receive cash incentives at the end of the study for measuring blood pressure as instructed) or intervention condition (receive weekly cash incentives throughout the study for measuring blood pressure as instructed) - use remote patient monitoring devices during a two month study period, receive weekly reports on adherence to blood pressure monitoring, and receive weekly financial incentives (intervention condition only) - attend one follow-up visit at 2 months to measure their blood pressure, complete a follow-up survey, return the remote patient monitoring devices, and receive financial incentives for blood pressure monitoring (control condition only) Researchers will compare the immediate and delayed incentive groups to see if there are differences in blood pressure monitoring adherence rates and blood pressure control.
The goal of this study is to compare the level of engagement in the Hispanic and Latino parents of autistic children and culturally adapt the protocol of Ayres Sensory Integration to improve participation and health outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the Design Thinking process result in higher stakeholder engagement and satisfaction in the research process in comparison to Focus Groups? Secondary question: Do cultural adaption using DT data yield higher scores of acceptability and implementation feasibility in comparison to FG methods? Participants will: - Be randomized into two groups of engagement (focus groups and design thinking) - Be blinded (clinicians, selected caregivers, autistic persons, and cultural experts) and will rate the acceptability, feasibility, and cultural appropriateness of the protocol based on DT data higher than the protocol based on FG data.
We will conduct a two-group randomized controlled trial to examine the eMocha DOT intervention with pediatric HT recipients.In this population, medication nonadherence remains a primary cause of late acute rejection (LAR) episodes, increased number of hospitalizations, graft failure, and patient mortality. Herein, we propose an innovative approach to promote medication adherence and improve patient and graft outcomes.
This study will assess "myHealthhub" in hospitalized older adults throughout 5 days of their hospital stay. The investigators propose a mixed method randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing myHealthHub platform vs. a simplified HealthHub system that provides only TV access, in order to evaluate patients' loneliness, stress, quality of life, patient engagement, and other mental health outcomes in n=60 older adult inpatients. The investigators will also use qualitative methods to assess user and stakeholder experience, and engagement.
The objective of the study is to conduct a pilot randomized study to test feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the developed diabetes self-management education program with a larger number of adult Haitian immigrants.
Confirming or denying it in the future is an opportunity for certain patient groups to have the option of video delivery. So that in calm circumstances and possibly. several times can review the video and equipment in the home and hopefully achieve the same or better compliance with the ongoing treatment.
Besides coping with the diagnosis, people with multiple sclerosis have to make complex decisions such as deciding about immunotherapies. They search not only for factual information, but also for reports of patient experiences (PEx). The investigators aim to evaluate in a randomised controlled pilot trial whether a website presenting PEx as an adjunct to factual information may help people with multiple sclerosis in their immunotherapy decision-making processes.
