Filter by:This study aims to investigate the quality of life and the outcome after veno-venous extracoporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support fir severe acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19 patients.
The study of biochemical risk factors for cardiovascular diseases is important not only for analysis, but also for preventive measures, given that changes in the level of biomarkers can be detected before the first clinical manifestations of CVD. Accordingly, patients at high CV risk may have additional motivation to lead a healthy lifestyle. In addition, information on biochemical risk markers can be used to optimize the clinical management of patients.
This research is a randomized experimental intervention study designed to examine the effect of repetitive standard patient-based education given to nursing students with end-of-life care education nursing on the level of knowledge, attitudes, and moods of the patient's care during the death process.
This study's main objective is to investigate whether the application of an adapted person-centred prescription model during a hospital stay would reduce the use of inappropriate or futile regular medications in older people at the end of life, improving their clinical/health statuses and reducing the expense associated with pharmacological treatment. We hypothesised that applying this modified method could optimise pharmacotherapeutic indicators and the expense associated with the pharmacological treatment of hospitalised patients
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of regular aerobic exercise program on tanatophobia and sleep quality in elderly individuals, and to evaluate the relationship between sleep disorder and fear of death.
Mobile health (mHealth) interventions such as interactive short message service (SMS) text messaging with healthcare workers (HCWs) have been proposed as efficient, accessible additions to traditional health care in resource-limited settings. Realizing the full public health potential of mHealth for maternal health requires use of new technological tools that dynamically adapt to user needs. This study will test use of a natural language processing computer algorithm on incoming SMS messages with pregnant people and new mothers in Kenya to see if it can help to identify urgent messages.
Lower respiratory tract infection(LRTI) is a prevalent disease that threatens the health of older people worldwide. Anemia is also a common disorder in the elderly, and its prevalence increases significantly with age. Most factors that contribute to the development of anemia are improvable. Therefore, we investigated whether anemia was a risk factor for LRTI-caused readmission and death in the elderly occurring within 1 year of discharge from the hospital.
This study was undertaken to investigate and document the mortality rates and predictors in coronary care unit (CCU) patients in Turkey. It is designed to be a multicenter, observational, cross-sectional, and descriptive study. It will be conducted in 50 centers in 12 regions of Turkey. The study does not include any interventional or treatment procedures. At the end of the study, clinicians will have up-to-date information about predictors of mortality in CCU patients.
Palliative care is of great importance because of poor quality of life and high mortality risk in advanced heart failure. This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of palliative care training on symptom management, rehospitalization, and quality of life among patients with heart failure.
In China, neonatal death on 2019 was 3.5 per 1000 live births, which counts around 57,000 deaths. In mainland China, parents are mostly the main decision-makers in withdrawing life-sustaining treatments in infants and neonatologists often follow the wishes of the parents. However, there is limited experience in supporting parents after the decision is made to withdraw treatment. The aim of this study was to develop and test a family supportive end-of-life care intervention to decrease parental depression and increase parent satisfaction. Investigators indicated that providing a comfortable environment and supportive care to parents during the final days of life of an infant decrease their depression and increases parent satisfaction. The NICUs in mainland China and beyond might consider involving parents in end-of-life care by providing a single room, have a dedicated psychologist available and provide supportive commemoration materials.
