Filter by:Higher rates of psychosis are described in migrant population. Likewise, this populations could suffer several adversities during migration process that could lead to higher exposure to traumatic events and higher rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There is a growing evidence that trauma is associated with psychosis onset. The aim of this research is to study the association between psychosis and traumatic events exposure/PTSD in immigrant population. Our hypothesis is that the higher incidence of psychosis described in immigrant population is associated to higher trauma exposure. A case-control observational study is performed. Patients who presented at least one psychotic episode are recruited from acute and chronic units at "Parc Salut Mar" (Barcelona). Estimated total sample is 196 individuals. Trauma exposure is assessed by validated trauma scales. Known factors associated with psychosis are controled during the statistic analysis.
Patient perceived quality of recovery is an important outcome after surgery and should be measured in clinical trials. The QoR-15 was designed to measure quality of recovery after surgery. It provided an efficient evaluation of the postoperative quality of recovery. The primary objectives of this study is to translate the original QoR-15 questionnaire into Turkish, and do a full psychometric evaluation of the Turkish version. We will test its validity, reliability, responsiveness, and clinical acceptability and feasibility, with patients undergoing abdominal, thoracic, orthopedic, gynecological, urologic, eye and ENT surgery, in the University of Health Sciences, Gülhane Education and Rraining Hospital Ankara, Türkiye.
The satisfactory recovery of the patient after a surgery with an anesthetic request is very important for a quality and excellence assistance. The quality of recovery questionnaire QoR-15 was validated by their authors in 2013 with the study titled development and psychometric evaluation of a postoperative quality of recovery score: the QoR-15. This questionnaire allows a comprehensive assessment by associating the physiological parameters until then assessed with the subjective personal perception of the patient of his state of health. With the consent of its original author, this study is carried out to validate the questionnaire in Spanish and adapted to our environment.
The purpose of this study is to make a Spanish version of a score that evaluates the characteristics of a good quality clinical note for the purpose of physician communication. The score is an instrument, originally made in English. Due to the score will be used in a different country, language and culture of the original protocol, it is necessary apply a process of translation and adaptation to the context where the score is going to be applied. The process of validation implies to evaluate if the instrument produces the same results under similar conditions and if the instrument maintains the ability to measure the same features or characteristics according to the original design.
