NCT ID: NCT05274581 Completed - Education Clinical Trials

General Practitioners' POCUS Competence Following Structured Training

Start date: March 3, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The overarching aim of this study is to investigate whether a new educational point-of-care ultrasound course tailored for general practitioners working in office-based general practice can lead to scanning competence at the end of the training program (three months after baseline) and if scanning competence can be maintained six months after baseline.

NCT ID: NCT04711031 Completed - Pneumonia Clinical Trials

Focused Lung Ultrasound: A Prospective Cohort Study in General Practice

Start date: March 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is a prospective cohort study that describes focused lung ultrasound (FLUS) findings in patients presenting with symptoms of an acute lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in general practice in Denmark. Ten general practitioners (GPs) will perform FLUS in addition to their usual care of adults presenting with symptoms of an acute LRTI where the GP suspects a community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Eligible patients will consecutively be invited to participate during a two months' study period until each GP has included a total of ten patients. The GPs will register information about patients including age, gender, symptoms, clinical findings, results of any point-of-care test performed, if antibiotic treatment was prescribed and they will register information on FLUS performance and findings.

NCT ID: NCT04644510 Completed - Education Clinical Trials

Feasability of Lung Ultrasonography in General Practice

AmBulUs
Start date: December 17, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

A major barrier to ultrasonography in general practice (GP) is the time restriction of their medical consultation. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of lung ultrasonography (LUS) realized by general practitioners (GP's) into their medical consultation. A prospective, observational, multi-centric and open study conducted in 3 different centers by 15 GP in France. Patient receiving LUS were recruited from December 2019 to January 2020. GP's were all novices and received a training course by LUS expert before the study. Eight-points LUS exam was recorded, timed, and interpreted by GP's. Among the 111 LUS performed, 110 LUS were interpreted. Time duration was 4 (3-5) min with 13% of LUS superior to 5 minutes. There was no significant difference in time duration after stratification by age. Patients were mainly satisfied after receiving LUS, and 80% of patients had a better understanding about their disease due to US realization. In this first prospective, and multicenter study, involving patients consulting in General Practice, we found that LUS seems to be feasible by GP's in a medical consultation. We showed that LUS can be performed fast enough for a GP consultation, and easy to learn. These findings will need to be valided in a randomized and controlled study.

NCT ID: NCT03786315 Completed - Aged Clinical Trials

Exploring 'VOLITION' in Context - a Study to Inform the Implementation of a New Intervention

VOLITION
Start date: January 4, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Trial Design A mixed-methods sequential explanatory approach in general practices, using quantitative questionnaire data followed by qualitative interviews. Trial Participants Patients aged 65 years and above with more than one long-term health problem (multimorbidity); and the GPs that these patients consult with. Planned Sample Size 5 GP practices; 15 GPs; 150 patients Planned study period: 01/01/21 - 30/12/21; 1 year Objectives Primary To establish the determinants of adoption, implementation and maintenance of the critical, core components of the VOLITION intervention, designed to be embedded within GP consultations, and to determine those components of VOLITION that can be tailored to ensure that the intervention is modifiable in context. Secondary To describe the current context of GP consultations for older patients with multimorbidity in England, including current innovations, in light of recent organisational changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To describe the effect of recent changes to the context of GP consultations (towards remote consulting) on patients' and GPs' perceptions of shared decision-making To investigate factors which could potentially influence the successful implementation of interventions such as VOLITION in the context of remote vs. face-to-face consultations. The Intervention 'VOLITION': - half-day training workshop for GPs in shared decision-making - written involvement-facilitating tool for patients (delivered by post and available in the waiting room).

NCT ID: NCT03416608 Completed - Ultrasound Clinical Trials

Patient Experiences of Use of Point-of-Care Ultrasound in General Practice

Start date: January 15, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study in part of a larger cohort study (clinical trials ID number: NCT03375333) that examine the use of ultrasound in general practice. In the present study patient experiences, with use of ultrasound in the consultation at the general practitioners office, will be explored through a questionnaire.

NCT ID: NCT03375333 Completed - Ultrasound Clinical Trials

How Point-of-Care Ultrasound Affects the Diagnostic Process in General Practice.

Start date: January 15, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study explores how Point of Care Ultrasound (POC-US) is used in general practice in Denmark and how it affects the diagnostic process and treatment of patients. Twenty general practitioners (GPs) will register information each time they use POC-US during a one month period. The information will include indications and frequencies of the performed POC-US examinations, change in tentative diagnosis, plan, and treatment before and after the use of POC-US in relation to confidence in the tentative diagnosis, findings and quality of the POC-US examination. This is an observational study without any intervention.

NCT ID: NCT03135561 Completed - Physical Activity Clinical Trials

A Pedometer-based Intervention With and Without Email Counselling in General Practice

Start date: November 12, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A two-arm parallel randomised controlled trial comparing pedometer-based intervention with and without email counselling in a primary care setting. Physically inactive patients from four general practices will be randomised to the pedometer-plus-email group or to the pedometer-alone group. All patients will be instructed to gradually increase the daily number of steps to at least 10,000. Patients in the pedometer-plus-email group will receive 8 counselling emails based on behavioural techniques. The primary outcome will be change in average daily steps measured during 7-day period at baseline and at 12 weeks.
