Filter by:The goal of this study is to compare the experience of intensive care unit (ICU) families and care providers before and after the implementation of an approach whereby clinicians initiate written communication with families The main questions it aims to answer are 1. Is ICU care-provider initiated written communication feasible and acceptable to participants? 2. Does ICU care-provider initiated written communication affect the experience of families and care providers? Participants will complete surveys and participate in interviews during a 3 month pre-implementation phase and a 3 month post-implementation phase
The Purpose of this study is to measure patient satisfaction in standard Post- operative Breast Outpatient clinics versus teleclinics. Post operative breast surgery patients who volunteer for this study will be randomized into either of the two groups Standard outpatient physical clinics or Telephone clinic and their satisfaction will be measured afterwards using a validated standardized questionnaire by a assessor who will be blind to the type of follow up. This will be a single blinded randomized controlled trial.
"Brain damage" and "memory loss" are main concerns of people undergoing surgery. In fact, many older people undergoing different types of non-cardiac surgeries (including orthopedic surgeries) present a significant decline in their cognition (i.e. the way people use their brain to think, take action, make decision, and remember) 1 year after surgery. This is called postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), and is significantly more frequent (as many as 30% of patients aged 65 or older) than what we would expect in non-surgical patients with similar age and comorbidities. Causes and mechanisms of POCD are poorly understood. Pain after surgery is also very frequent and can persist for a long time (i.e. persistent postsurgical pain, PPSP), requiring chronic medications including narcotics. Knee surgery is more often offered as a treatment in older patients with osteoarthritis, who often come to surgery after a long history of pain and impaired mobility, and who often experience PPSP. The investigators proposed to conduct a study in 200 people 55 years old or older (expected age range 55-85) who are undergoing their elective knee surgery, to evaluate the association between PPSP (and its treatment) and POCD. How cognition can interfere with resilience (coping strategies and expectations), which are also thought to influence the persistence of pain, satisfaction, and functional recovery after surgery, will also be explored. Patients will be enrolled before their surgery and followed over time, to collect data on their social and clinical characteristics, measure copying/expectations before and after surgery, and assess pain and pain medications, satisfaction and functional recovery, and cognitive performance. The study will also explore hypotheses of possible mechanisms underlying the association between PPSP and POCD, and will include interviews with a subset of the participants to explore lived experiences of pain, mobility and aging, including resilience, expectations and satisfaction with surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in different injection techniques. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is there a difference between the pain levels due to needle insertion in the injection made with the HST Technique, the ShotBlocker technique and the standard technique? - Is there a difference between the hematoma levels of the injection made with the HST Technique, the ShotBlocker technique and the standard technique? - Is there a difference between the comfort levels of the injection made with the HST Technique, ShotBlocker technique and standard technique? - Is there a difference between the satisfaction levels of the patients with the injection made with the HST Technique, ShotBlocker technique and standard technique? - Is there a difference between the injection fear levels of patients with HST Technique, ShotBlocker technique and standard technique?
In Latin America, Colombia ranks fourth in countries with the highest number of people with disabilities (6.4%), 80% of whom live in low socioeconomic strata, have little access to education and high unemployment rates. Of these nearly 3 million people with this condition, an estimated 11,476 need upper limb prostheses, 12% of whom have transradial or below-elbow amputation. Although many of the functions that have been lost by amputation can be recovered with a prosthesis, few people in Colombia use these devices. This is because, currently, only aesthetic and mechanical options are found, and the most advanced options, such as myoelectric ones, are manufactured in other countries, have very high prices and are not designed according to local needs. The only option manufactured at the national level is the one developed by Protesis Avanzadas S.A.S., but it still has aspects to improve that would lead it to better adapt to the needs of Colombian users. All of the above shows the evident need for the country to generate products that can help this population. The objective of this project is then to redesign, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a good quality transradial myoelectric prosthesis, focused on the Colombian amputee population and improving acceptance rates. For the design phase of the study, a group made up of health professionals and patients with transradial amputation will be included to evaluate the preferences and priorities of their prosthesis. For pre-commercial validation, an effectiveness study will be carried out by means of a randomized crossover clinical trial with 12 participants in which the functioning and quality of life of the user with and without the prosthesis and satisfaction with it will be analyzed using methods of Bayesian statistics. This study is expected not only to improve the quality of life of people with transradial amputation and their families, but also to provide a functional option for the health system.
Patient reported outcomes in patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in the head-neck region are an important part of the complex care for these patients. Health-related quality of life, decision conflicts in the choice of treatment and satisfaction with care have not yet been sufficiently studied in this patient group.
Investigators hypothesize that patients with higher expectations regarding their epidural injection experience a higher pain reduction of their lower back pain and/or leg pain after an epidural injection. Patients' expectations of an epidural injection can influence their level of pain reduction. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the prognostic significance of patient expectations on pain reduction after epidural injections ('expected benefits', see under) in patients with low back pain and/or leg pain. Investigators furthermore hypothesize that patients that have a higher match between their expectations of improvement and actual improvement are more satisfied. A secondary objective of this study is to investigate the prognostic significance of a high match between expectations of improvement and actual improvement on patient satisfaction of the treatment.
The objective of this study is to assess if the addition of an early postpartum visit improves attendance at postpartum visits. We seek to evaluate if an additional early postpartum visit improves patient education, satisfaction, or trust in the clinicians during the postpartum period; all of which may ultimately facilitate improved outcomes. Additionally, we seek to explore patient preferences for postpartum care delivery.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of using the birth ball and squatting position during labor on labor pain, duration of labor and satisfaction. The research is a randomized controlled experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 159 pregnant women, 53 in the birthing ball application group, 53 in the squatting group, and 53 in the control group, who met the criteria for inclusion in the study.
