The aim of the randomized controlled interventional study was to to evaluate the effect of human care model-based nursing interventions on psychosocial adaptation in patients with cardioverter defibrillator. A study was carried out on a sample of 64 patients who had been implanted with a defibrillator. The intervention group participants underwent six interviews at two-week intervals, during which a hybrid and structured nursing intervention was administered.
Dexmedetomidine is an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist used for its sympatholytic effect, providing sedation, analgesia, and cardiovascular stabilization in the perioperative period. Remifentanil is a µ opioid agonist with a rapid onset and short duration of action, which is degraded by plasma esterase in tissues. Investigators aimed to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil infusions on sedation quality, side effects, and surgeon's satisfaction in geriatric outpatients who underwent cataract surgery.
Randomized controlled trial to determine the best brief suicide prevention intervention for adults and adolescents who screen positive for suicidal ideation or behavior in emergency departments or primary care clinics. Aim 1: Compare the effectiveness of two brief suicide prevention interventions (safety planning intervention plus structured phone-based follow-up from a suicide prevention hotline (SPI+), versus safety planning intervention plus caring contacts (CC)) to (a) reduce suicidal ideation and behavior, (b) reduce loneliness, (c) reduce return to care for suicidality, and (d) increase uptake of outpatient mental healthcare services over 12 months among adult and adolescent patients screening positive for suicide in emergency departments (EDs) and primary care clinics. Aim 2: Assess the acceptability of connection and support planning and the safety planning intervention, with or without follow-up among providers and clinical staff in EDs and primary care clinics. Aim 3: Assess the acceptability of SPI+ and SP+CC among adult and adolescent patients.
The purpose of this study is to calibrate the average breathing rate measurement of the PAD-2A device to be within ±2 breaths per minute of clinical capnography breathing rate measurements.
İn this study; it was aimed to investigate the effects of equipotent doses of hyperbaric bupivacaine and hyperbaric levobupivacaine in outpatient anorectal surgery under saddle block. Sixty patients between the age of 18- 50 and in the risk group of ASA I-II included in the study. 7,5 mg of 0,5% hyperbaric bupivacaine or 7,5 mg of 0,5% hyperbaric levobupivacaine injected into the intrathecal space in sitting position through L4-L5 or L5-S1 intervertebral space in 30 seconds. All patients kept in sitting position for 5 minutes with aid after intrathecal injection and than layed in supine position, finally they positioned in prone jack-knife. Hemodynamic parameters like NIBP, HR, SpO2, sensory and motor block characteristics, duration of analgesia, time of first voiding, mobilization time, patient and surgeon satisfaction, adverse effects and discharge time were recorded during and after surgery.
This study compares three different methods of outpatient follow up after surgical admission to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown. The three arms of the study are text message, telephone call or in-person outpatient follow up. Data will be collected to identify complications identified in each arm along with the rate of non-response to the follow up methods and the level of satisfaction with the method. Willingness to use a telemedicine app in the future will also be evaluated through satisfaction survey.
Background and rationale: Since 2013, with the new Swiss Adult Protection Law, Anticipated Directives (ADs) have been used to identify patients' wills in case they cannot express them later. This instrument is considered to improve care quality, reduce conflicts in decisions between patients, relatives and healthcare teams and utilisation of health resources. Despite their perceived utility, political and institutional campaigns have failed to make ADs common among the population. Discussing life threatening diseases evolution and end-of-life (EOL) issues remains difficult for patients, relatives and professionals. Several interventions were developed to improve advance care planning (ACP) and lead to ADs. However, most of them are cognitively demanding or requiring high levels of literacy. People in 'early stage palliative care' (i.e. with chronic degenerative conditions) could benefit from a simple, adjusted, and acceptable intervention to address the problem outside the hospital setting before the crisis and the appearance of other complications. For a dialogue about EOL to take place, it is necessary to engage in a trustful therapeutic relationship constructed on favourable care conditions. The intervention with a serious card game (Go Wish) is a patient-centred approach developed to help people discuss their wishes of EOL care and to formalize them in ADs. Compared to previous interventions, it has some major advantages: it is accessible (no literacy barriers), it is specific (it is centred on the needs and wishes about care priorities), and it is adaptable depending on how patients feel ready to engage in such discussions. And most important of all, it is compatible with the Terror Management theory (TMT) that provides explanations on reluctance to write ADs and how to work around this problem. The TMT is a theoretical rationale that posits that death thoughts, occurring during EOL care discussions, operates as barriers by creating an existential anxiety and defence mechanisms. From the TMT perspective, it is possible to reduce the perceived health-related anxiety by helping people to become aware of their own death. This can be achieved by facilitating discussions about EOL preferences and on psychosocial, cultural, and spiritual values of life. The Go Wish intervention focuses on these individual's important life dimensions which could reduce anxiety in the process of ACP and ADs completion and alleviate defensive behaviours present in EOL care. Primary objective: To test the efficacy of the Go Wish intervention for increasing the proportion of ADs completed in outpatients receiving early stage of palliative care services compared to usual care (i.e. standardized information on ADs). Secondary objectives: To explore the role that TMT defence mechanisms plays in the process of end-of-life discussions in nurses, patients and relatives (mixed method).
After Middle Eastern crisis, millions people were forced to migrate to European countries and especially neighboring countries. In Turkey, cities which are closed to east of border, face to cope more refugees' health care than those of other cities. The incidence of admission of hospital outpatient clinics and emergency department by refugee patients is not known clearly in our city, Nevsehir. In this study, we wanted to investigate use of health care among these patients in Nevsehir in Turkey.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and feasibility of the new technique,detachable string magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy(DS-MCE)for evaluating gastric and esophagus diseases.
