Filter by:Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among women in the United States, and women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy have a 2-fold higher risk for cardiovascular disease later in life compared to women with uncomplicated pregnancies. This research investigates a patient-centered intervention during the postpartum period to promote engagement in cardiovascular preventive care.
There are ~85,000 lung cancer patients (LCPs) in the UK; yet only around 8% were recruited into clinical trials in 2021/22. LCPs need opportunities to take part in clinical trials to access new treatments, increasing their quality of life, treatment choices and life expectancy. Discussions with nurses can help patients make better treatment decisions, improving experiences of care. However, research has shown that lung cancer nurses (LCNs) often feel unable to discuss participation in trials with patients due to lack of knowledge, confidence, time and training. This study aims to develop and test a research recruitment tool for LCNs, to support LCPs to enter clinical trials. Objectives include to: - Explore reasons for low uptake of LCPs into clinical trials - Develop a tool for LCNs to talk to patients about clinical trials - Test whether the tool improves the number and quality of discussions nurses have with LCPs about clinical trials The study has four phases: Phase 1: A literature review will identify problems that make clinical trial uptake difficult for LCPs, carers and clinicians Phase 2: Six group discussions with LCNs, patients and carers will explore issues that create potential barriers for patients taking part in clinical trials. The groups will take place online, last approximately one hour and be recorded. Phase 3: Part 1&2 findings will help us develop a LCN research recruitment tool. The tool will contain information on how nurses obtain information about LC clinical trials, research teams, communication issues, practical issues and how to reach LCPs. Phase 4: The research recruitment tool will be tested in four UK NHS hospitals. A survey will identify any changes in nurses' clinical trials awareness and confidence before and after using the tool. Interviews with LCNs, patients and carers will explore their views on the tool, clinical trials participation and experiences of care.
We will conduct a two-group randomized controlled trial to examine the eMocha DOT intervention with pediatric HT recipients.In this population, medication nonadherence remains a primary cause of late acute rejection (LAR) episodes, increased number of hospitalizations, graft failure, and patient mortality. Herein, we propose an innovative approach to promote medication adherence and improve patient and graft outcomes.
This study will engage patients and families to create a definition of what matters most to them about upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. This information will help to define the outcome of "patient-important GI bleeding" which is a secondary endpoint for the ongoing international randomized trial REVISE (NCT03374800), comparing acid suppression versus no acid suppression in the intensive care unit (ICU). Other outcomes in REVISE are clinically important upper GI bleeding, mortality, pneumonia and Clostridioides difficile infection. Guided by patient and family input, a series of open-ended questions will elicit patient and family views about what matters most about this complication in interviews and focus groups. The investigators will develop the definition of "patient-important GI bleeding" by analyzing interview and focus group transcripts of critically ill survivors and family members of critically ill patients who may or may not have had GI bleeding, and who were not enrolled in the REVISE trial. Patient and family perspectives (anticipated to be different from what clinicians consider to be clinically important GI bleeding), will be used to refine a new trial outcome for research on GI bleeding in the intensive care unit (ICU). Also, study results will help clinicians understand how to better support patients and families; to explain testing and treatment options when GI bleeding occurs in practice in the ICU.

This study will assess "myHealthhub" in hospitalized older adults throughout 5 days of their hospital stay. The investigators propose a mixed method randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing myHealthHub platform vs. a simplified HealthHub system that provides only TV access, in order to evaluate patients' loneliness, stress, quality of life, patient engagement, and other mental health outcomes in n=60 older adult inpatients. The investigators will also use qualitative methods to assess user and stakeholder experience, and engagement.
This study is being conducted to determine if a multi-level intervention for delivering maternity care can improve patient trust and engagement among Black birthing people.
Brief summary Resisted behaviours that occur during showering of People with Dementia (PwD) cause greater discomfort for caregivers and may occur as a result of embarrassment and shame that the person with dementia may be experiencing or even due to a moment of confusion or anxiety. Therefore, it is considered particularly relevant and necessary to provide information and strategies to caregivers of PwD in order to manage the behavioural alterations produced during the shower. One of the strategies currently used in clinical practice to improve the relationship between caregivers and users is the implementation of the Basale stimulation® concept. The stimuli applied from Basale Stimulation® are related to 3 basic areas of development: somatic, vestibular and vibrational. In relation to the development of the showers, they will be carried out from the application of relaxing somatic modelling connected to the somatic area. The aim of this study is to analyse the efficacy of an intervention based on the relaxing somatic modelling technique, framed within the Basale Stimulation® concept, to reduce behavioural disturbances and increase the involvement of the person with moderate to severe dementia during assisted showering. The main caregivers of the PwD, who meet the inclusion criteria will be contacted by sending a study information sheet and an informed consent form. All family members will receive a call to clarify the concepts explained and the study methodology to be carried out. The grooming sessions of all users whose relatives have signed the informed consent form, will be videotaped and a trained technician will fill in the questionnaires for each session based on the analysis of the videos of each intervention. Six intervention sessions will be carried out with each user. An alternating treatment design will be used, applying condition A or B randomly and then counterbalancing. Condition A corresponds to a traditional shower according to the long-term care bathing and grooming protocol and condition B corresponds to the use of relaxing somatic modelling within Basale Stimulation®. The first result obtained will be an increase in the appearance and frequency of behaviours that increase the engagement of the PwD and a decrease in the appearance and frequency of disengagement behaviours during the shower activity in the Basale Stimulation® application sessions. This result will be measured with the Involvement Register (RIE) (García-Soler et al., 2014), adding the measure of frequency of involvement behaviours on a likert scale. The second expected outcome will be the decrease in the occurrence, frequency and intensity of behavioural disturbances during the Basale Stimulation®-based intervention showers. This outcome will be measured with a questionnaire based on the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q)(Boada et al., 2002) and the Agitated Behavior in Dementia scale (ABID) (Logsdon et al., 1999), recording the number of times a disruptive behaviour appears, the frequency with which it appears during the shower, and the intensity of the behaviour on a Likert scale. In addition, the user's functional status measured with the Barthel Index, his cognitive status measured with the Mini-Mental State Examination and his behaviour through the Agitation Inventory of the Elderly will be taken into account. Intervention description The relaxing somatic modelling technique will be applied, framed within the concept of Basal Stimulation®. To do this, the user remains seated and the parts of the body that are not being washed at that moment are covered with a towel, favouring the preservation of the user's privacy. The user is lathered up with soft mittens previously moistened with lukewarm water and lathered up. This process shall be carried out starting from the shoulder in a proximal to distal direction on the upper limbs, lower limbs and trunk (taking into account the sagittal anatomical plane) and in a cephalic to caudal direction (taking into account the transverse anatomical plane). Subsequently, rinsing is carried out following the same guidelines as described above, using moistened soft mittens. Finally, intimate hygiene is performed with a disposable soapy sponge and the soap is rinsed off again with moistened soft terrycloth mittens. Throughout the whole process, the activity is explained to the user.
