Filter by:Background: In foreign countries, mobile x-ray already is being used where transfer to the radiology department at the hospital may be an obstacle. Using mobile x-ray, the x-ray examination is performed in the patients own home with transportable equipment that reminds of the transportable x-ray equipment that is being used in the intensive care units. At The Department of Radiology (DOR), Aarhus University Hospital there is an ongoing project mobile x-ray for patients living in nursing homes in Aarhus. The project will be evaluated inspired by the Triple Aim Approach in three sub studies. Overall aim: The overall aim is to conclude if mobile x-ray improves healthcare for fragile patients. Hypotheses: - Patients examined with mobile x-ray have fewer number of hospital admissions compared with patients examined with x-ray at DOR. - Patients examined with mobile x-ray are more satisfied with their examination compared with patients examined with x-ray at DOR. Sub study 1 - Population health Aim: The primary aim is to study if mobile x-ray improves the health of the defined population measured in hospital admission. Also to study challenges conducting a RCT. The outcome measures: The primary outcome is hospital admissions. Sub study 2 - Experience of care Aim: The aim is to study the satisfaction with mobile x-ray compared the satisfaction to x-ray at DOR. Methods: Observations, interview and questionnaires.
The primary purpose of this study is to objectively assess if interactive multimedia tutorials (online videos) enhances patients' comprehensive understanding of assisted reproductive technology (ART) adding EngagedMD, an online library of interactive videos, compared to the traditional process of consent and one-on-one teaching using a 15 question evaluation. The secondary outcome will be to qualitatively assess patients' overall experience of the teaching process comparing the addition of the EngagedMD content to solely traditional teaching for infertility treatment.
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women at worldwide. Even a minor breast surgery can cause significant postoperative pain (PP) (1). PP could be converted into chronic pain in 25-40% of cases. Inadequate PP control is associated with increased morbidity, delay in wound healing, prolonged hospital stay, increased opioid use, increased side effects and high cost of care. For these reasons, regional anesthetic techniques are recommended for effective PP management. Some of recent studies suggest that ultrasound-guided pectoral I (PI), pectoral II (PII) and serratus plan block (SPB) may be an alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia and paravertebral block applications because of the ease of administration, low side effect profile and adequate analgesia in breast surgery.

A study examining the benefits of music therapy on patients, families, and unit staff on acute neurologic or inpatient rehabilitation units.
This study compares patient satisfaction after labor and delivery with access to either the default educational materials available, or to a table computer set to display an educational website, thepainlesspush.com.
Background Medication administration errors occur in around 20% of administrations. Patient involvement (PI) is recommended and self-management support e.g. as self-administration of patient's own drugs during hospital stay is a central component of practising PI. Aim To investigate whether PI in administering drugs in hospital affects the number of medication errors, medication adherence and patient satisfaction and whether it is economically advantageously. Materials and methods The PhD Study is performed at the Department of Cardiology, Randers Regional Hospital. The study design is "complex intervention" and the PhD study therefore consists of three studies. In study 1 the intervention is developed, investigated for feasibility and pilot-tested in small scale. In study 2 and 3 the intervention is evaluated within a RCT with outcomes as medication errors, medication adherence, patient satisfaction and cost-effectiveness.
.A surgical intervention involves the participant and his / her family in a very stressful situation with a biopsychosocial alteration of the participant, often presenting a lack of knowledge of the surgical process from admission to hospital discharge. Researchers (nursing) began to make prior visits to the surgical procedure to reduce anxiety and provide information about the surgical process. The importance of the presurgical nursing visit (PNV) is sought, how to achieve a better health education throughout the surgical process, improve communication between professionals through standardized records, contributing to an optimal approach to the participant, increasing well-being, health and the satisfaction of the participant
Patient satisfaction is an important subjective measure of healthcare quality which contributes to evaluation of the structure, process and outcome of services. The key factor in patient satisfaction is adequate perioperative information of the patient and communication between healthcare providers and patient or patient's kin. There are few studies in anesthesia that have assessed patient satisfaction and mood-state during regional anesthesia. The investigators aimed to evaluate factors associated with patient satisfaction from regional anesthesia procedure and mood-state of patients who underwent surgery under regional anesthesia.
Several studies have demonstrated that music can improve various outcomes during labor and delivery. However, many of these studies didn't measure satisfaction rate accurately. This study aim to assess patient satisfaction in the setting of music or no music during the cesarean delivery. The study will be conducted in the labor and delivery unit and the expected number to enroll and complete the study is 22.
Wearing white coat during hospital rounds has been associated with increased risk of colonization and transmission of resistant pathogens. On the other hand, studies have shown that physicians' attire affects patients' confidence in their physician and the patient-physician relationship. The results of these studies were highly dependent on the practice setting, with no data in postpartum patients. The objective is to test the hypothesis that not wearing a white coat during physician postpartum rounds impact patient-physician communication scores.
