Filter by:The main goal of this educational intervention study about patient's informational privacy (IP) is to evaluate the effect of the educational intervention into the paramedics' knowledge and attitude regarding patient's IP. The study also investigates the usability and the feasibility of the educational intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the effect of the educational intervention on the 1. theoretical knowledge of paramedics' regarding IP? 2. the paramedics' attitude towards patient's IP? 2. What is the usability and feasibility of the intervention being evaluated according to the respondents?
Poor engagement in care contributes to HIV- and TB-related morbidity and mortality in South Africa (SA). Community health workers (CHWs) are frontline lay health workers who work to re-engage patients who are lost to follow-up (LTFU) in HIV/TB care. Patients with depression and substance use (SU) have a greater likelihood of being LTFU in HIV/TB care, and there is evidence that CHWs may exhibit stigma towards these patients. When CHWs have negative attitudes towards these patients, on average they spend less time with these patients, are less likely to implement evidence-based practices, and deliver less patient-centered care. Therefore, this purpose of this study is to examine the implementation and preliminary effectiveness of a brief training ("Siyakhana"). The purpose of this training is to provide CHWs with psychoeducation, skills, and support around working with HIV/TB patients with depression/SU. The investigators will assess the training's implementation and changes in CHWs' stigma towards HIV/TB patients with depression/SU.
The prevalence of opioid use disorder (OUD) and opioid-related deaths has risen dramatically in recent years. Effective treatments, including medications for opioid use disorder (MOUDs; e.g., buprenorphine-naloxone and methadone) are under-utilized. There are few evidence-based interventions for changing attitudes toward Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) in the general public and especially among healthcare clinicians. This study proposed an innovative intervention to change attitudes of Primary Care Clinicians (PCCs) toward persons with OUD. Study participants were stratified into one of two online learning courses: the intervention training was compared with an attention-control training.
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is affecting the way many people live their lives, including seeking medical care and maintaining good self-care to keep healthy. Additionally, in the event many people become critically ill at once, COVID-19 has the possibility of overwhelming hospitals to the point where they have to make decisions about how to determine who receives intensive care and life-support measures. Many hospitals as well as local or state governments have been working on policies to determine how to make these decisions. This study seeks to learn about how COVID-19 has affected the way patients and healthcare providers care for themselves and about their thoughts and concerns about policies that may "ration" life-support resources.
The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate a novel, electronic informed consent application for research involving electronic health record (EHR) data. In response to NIH RFA-OD-15-002, this study addresses research using clinical records and data, including the issues of the appropriate content and duration of informed consent and patient preferences about research use of clinical information. This study will design an electronic consent application intended to improve patients' satisfaction with and understanding of consent for research using their EHR data. The electronic application will provide interactive functionality that creates a virtual, patient-centered discussion with patients about research that uses EHR data. Also, to correct potential misconceptions and increase informedness, the application will present trust-enhancing messages that highlight facts about research regulations, researcher training, and data protections. This study (Specific Aim 2 of the linked study protocol) will compare the effectiveness of the interactive, trust-enhanced consent application to an interactive consent and standard consent (no interactivity, no trust- enhancement) using a randomized trial of the three consents with 750 adults in a network of family medicine practices. Primary outcomes will be satisfaction with the consent decision and understanding of the consent content. This application will allow patients to learn more about clinical research and make informed choices about whether or not they want their health records and data to be used for research. This first phase of this project (IRB#:201500678) was innovative because it created a virtual, patient-centered discussion about research using EHR data. Moreover, this project produced a consent application that clinicians and researchers will use in this phase (Phase two) of the trial as an ethically sound and practical tool for consenting patients, in a clinical setting, for research involving EHRs. Overall, this study will improve understanding of how to best give patients information about research that uses their health records and data. With this understanding, this study will develop a new computer application that patients can use in their doctors' offices. This application will allow patients to learn more about clinical research and make informed choices about whether or not they want their health records and data to be used for research.
This is a minimal risk, anonymous, convenience sample, social behavioral study using qualitative descriptive survey methods. It is to ascertain community member, physician, resident and medical student perspectives regarding Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, associated diseases and to identify barriers which prevent these groups from ensuring that males 9-26 receive the three-shot vaccine series to prevent HPV infection. The research is focused on these questions: Do community members understand the ease of transmission of the HPV virus in males 9-26? Do community members, physicians, residents and medical students have knowledge of the associated diseases that may occur with the HPV virus infection in males age 9-26? Do community members, physicians, residents and medical students know the ages in which males should receive the HPV vaccine three-shot series? What barriers prevent community members and physicians, residents and medical students from ensuring that males 9-26 receive the three-shot vaccine series to prevent HPV infection?
This study was intended to test the effects of adding a one-on-one educational intervention taught by a physician to a physician during their clinical work to improve their acceptance and satisfaction with a new inpatient electronic health record and ordering system.
