Filter by:Colonoscopy is an endoscopic procedure for diagnosing colon diseases. Patients should be prepared 2-5 days in advance for this procedure and intestinal cleansing should be provided. This is a difficult process and does not admit mistakes. The adequacy of the patient's pre-preparation for this process increases the chances of success. For preliminary preparation, it is recommended to train the patient and reinforce the trainings by phone. Education given to the patient; It contributes positively to patient outcomes, the workload of healthcare personnel in the institution, and costs. Therefore, this study has been planned.
In this study, effects of oral and written education, WeChat education plus oral and written education on Helicobacter pylori eradication will be compared in a randomized way.
Pelvic floor health workshops have previously been shown to be effective in improving postpartum knowledge, performance of pelvic floor muscle exercises, and bowel-specific quality of life. Group learning through a class focused on behavioral modification and pelvic floor muscle exercises for women with urinary incontinence, has been shown to be an effective means to educate women about urinary incontinence management. The PAKS study hopes to demonstrate whether Spanish-speaking women that undergo an informative workshop on pelvic floor disorders via video in Spanish are more likely to raise their level of knowledge surrounding pelvic floor disorders and improve the pelvic floor symptoms.
Tineapedis is an important health problem. Providing foot care in tinea pedis treatment contributes positively to the treatment. In addition, alternative treatments can also be used. In this study, the randomization study group will be divided into three. Medical treatment and foot care training will be applied to the first group, medical treatment and propolis to the second group, medical treatment and plassebo to the control group. Foot care training will be given by nurse coaching. Times of all three groups and their response to treatment will be evaluated.
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a video-assisted discharge education program on activities of daily living, functionality, and patient satisfaction after total hip replacement (THR) surgery. Methods: This study included 31 participants who were randomly divided in the physiotherapy (PT) group (n=18), and the video-assisted discharge education (VADE) group (n=13). Both groups received a physiotherapy program. VADE group was additionally received VADE program. In both groups, all education programs were given face to face. Data were collecting using visual analog scale (VAS), Harris Hip Score (HHS), Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living Scale (NEADL), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) and Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire at 1st week and 3rd month. Practice Implications: The current study has contributed to the development of video-assisted health technologies.
Patients with cancer and their caregivers may have difficulty understanding the site and extent of their disease. Poor comprehension may negatively impact patients and caregivers, leading to increased anxiety, reduced compliance, decreased trust of the physician, and limited shared medical decision making ability. Most patients want to be thoroughly informed, with over a third of cancer patients wishing they had been better informed about side effects that they experienced due to their treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of diagnostic imaging review using 3D virtual reality compared to standard 2D imaging review for patients and their caregiver(s) using a mixed methods approach of survey and qualitative interview based approaches.
Patients presenting for colonoscopy at one of the participating centers will be asked to participate in the present study after careful evaluation of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Before inclusion, all patients have to sign the written informed consent. All participating patients will receive PLENVU, a well-known and approved bowel preparation agent. Patients are randomly assigned in two groups. Patients in group 1 are informed in traditional way on how to use the bowel preparation agent. This way includes discussion with the physician and nurse on how to use the bowel preparation agent and a written documentation, highlighting the individual steps again. Patients in group 2 will receive in addition a QR-code referring to an App, available for free in all App stores, explaining to the patient in detail when and how to use the bowel preparation agent. The patient is receiving the same questionnaire (please see attached) in both groups and asked to bring the filled form on the day of the examination. Endoscopy is performed in standard way and effectiveness of the bowel preparation is specifically highlighted by the physician on the documentation report. Finally, data is analyzed regarding effectiveness of the QR code regarding patient satisfaction, acceptability and quality of the bowel preparation.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential additive effect of Motivational Interviewing (MI) on gingival health and self-care. Our hypothesis was that the Motivational Interviewing would result in improved gingival health and self-care compared to prevailing patient education.
The study will seek to determine if surgical patients do better or the same if participants undergo pre-operative counseling for elective laparoscopic same day surgery. The study hypothesizes that patients who receive a pre-operative education booklet and a phone call from a surgical registered nurse, compared to the current standard of care, will have higher satisfaction with regard to participants' surgical experience, decrease in the number of post-operative phone calls, decrease in the number of opioid medications, and decrease in the number of emergency department visits. The importance of this study is to understand what surgical clinical practices can do in the pre-operative setting to enhance a surgical patient's recovery.
Obesity is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. The treatment of obesity and its related health issues, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes, exceeds $150 billion annually. "Morbidly" or "severely" obese patients - defined by a body mass index [BMI] of >35 kg/m2 or greater - are especially high risk for serious complications due to their weight. Within the Veterans Health Administration (VA) system, nearly 600,000 patients are severely obese. These Veterans create significant costs for the VA system, experience poorer quality of life, and have shortened lifespans. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity for weight loss, resolving weight-related health issues, and quality of life. Bariatric surgery is supported as a treatment option by many national societies, including those representing primary care and endocrinology. However, less than 1% of Veterans who qualify for bariatric surgery undergo it. Reasons for low utilization are unclear, although the investigators' preliminary research suggests that there are various patient, provider and system level barriers to severe obesity care. The goal of this study is to pilot-test an educational video that aligns patient preferences with treatment options to improve the care that severely obese Veterans receive.
