Mental health is fundamental part of the human being worldwide taken as the driver of all daily activities of the people. Psychosomatic disorders are the psychological diseases that are the burden in mental health worldwide. These diseases characterized by the medically unexplained symptomatology (MUS) are considered as a comprehensive, interdisciplinary framework for assessment of psychological factors affecting individual vulnerability, as well as course and outcome of illness; biopsychosocial consideration of patient care in clinical practice; specialist interventions to integrate psychological therapies in the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of medical disease. This psychosomatic symptomatology is highly prevalent in developing countries. Prior studies stated that Brief family therapy (BFT) is an effective for MUS. Some possible reasons could be solving conflicts and interpersonal problems by means of training certain skills such as problem solving, developing relationships with others, effective coping, assertiveness and positive thinking. This quasi-experimental design investigates whether BFT can reduce psychosomatic symptoms in Kibungo referral hospital of Eastern Province, Rwanda. Experimental group enroll 60 patients who will be followed up during 2 months. Control group enroll 60 patients. Participants from experimental group will attend 8 sessions of BFT. Statistical analyses will be performed using the SPSS software version 22. As recommended by the declaration of Helsinki, confidentiality and voluntariness were ensured. Informed consents were obtained from the participants. Paired-samples t-test will be used for assessing the means differences between two groups before and after the BFT. 95% of confidence intervals and 5% of statistical significance are applied. In the baseline, sociodemographic questionnaire and psychometric tools will be provided. The psychometric tools will be used in the baseline and at the end of BFT sessions.
GMG ArcData will create a mobile-based application to improve communications and data exchange among patients and navigators involved in new pancreas surgery oncology episodes of care. Functionality will align with care processes using smartphone and the EHR patient portal. GMG will apply user-centered design theory and behavioral psychology approaches to co-design, develop, and test usability of features that optimize patient navigators-patient encounters on scheduling issues, nutrition guidance, pain management, wellbeing assessments, and activity tracking. Evaluation endpoints will reflect how the application improves the efficiency of workflows and lessens cognitive burden. Study will assess how patients and navigators perceive the tool's ability to provide more control and easier access to information about surgical care. The key project innovations are based on Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)-based engineering standards that enable interoperability among digital health platforms, apply 'recommender' functions based on similar patients' experiences, and exploit microeducation tools to enhance patient understanding about their surgical care. The research team has partnered with MedStar Health and Georgetown University Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center to co-design the software and access patients for usability testing. Successful implementation will lead to exploring a joint venture for scaling to other care episodes, expanded functionality, and co-creating business models for commercialization.
In this study, the investigators show that by upskilling of primary care physicians (PCPs) in SDM and leveraging on a novel pictorial Visual Analogue Uroflowmetry Score (VAUS), they can enhance older men's recognition of LUTS and stimulated discussion with their PCPs.
Enteral nutrition is often preferred in intensive care units, but it brings some potential complications in addition to its benefits. It is stated that abdominal massage and in-bed exercise in intensive care patients can reduce complications related to the gastrointestinal system when performed under appropriate conditions. Considering the ease of application, low cost and non-invasive nature of abdominal massage and in-bed exercises, it is predicted that patients will benefit in case of gastrointestinal complications and positive effects on comfort. It is also thought that these interventions that support independent nursing roles will contribute to the establishment of standards of care and the professionalization process by using evidence-based practices. This study is conducted to evaluate the effects of abdominal massage and in-bed exercise on gastrointestinal complications and patient comfort in intensive care patients who are fed enterally.
