The purpose of this study is to refine and pilot test a mobile health (mHealth), video-based family management program for parents of preterm infants hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). By moving beyond the basic infant care tasks taught by parenting programs and instead comprehensively training parents to use evidence-based family management skills, we hypothesize that our intervention, called PREEMIE PROGRESS, will better equip parents to meet the chronic, complex healthcare needs of their preterm infant.
Compassionate and humanistic care for patients dying in the hospital has been especially challenging during the pandemic. Family presence is restricted, maximal barrier precautions are advised, and personal protective equipment must be preserved. This research examines the impact of adaptations to compassionate approaches to end of life care in a single center. The 3 Wishes Project (3WP) was created to promote the connections between patients, family members, and clinicians that are foundational to empathic end-of-life care. It provides a scaffold for discussions about preferences and values at the end of life and leads to acts of compassion that arise from soliciting and implementing wishes that honour the dying patient. It is partnered with the Footprints Project, which is an initiative encouraging staff to learn more about each patient. In a previous multi-center evaluation, the authors reported how the 3 Wishes Project is valuable, transferable, affordable and sustainable. During the pandemic, end of life care, facilitated by the 3 Wishes Project and Footprints Project, will be adapted to accommodate reduced family visiting and requirements to preserve PPE. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the adapted 3 Wishes Project continues to be feasible and valuable during the pandemic, and determine how it influences the experiences of clinicians caring for patients dying during the pandemic.
Introduction: According to World Health Organization data, it is estimated that more than 422 million people have diabetes. In Ecuador, diabetes is the second cause of death, only after ischemic heart disease, and is the first chronic non-communicable disease. The complexity of the pathology, its difficult management and the patient's commitment and involvement in their own care has led health systems to seek mechanisms to activate patients. Currently, tools have been developed, Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREM) and Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM), which seek to reduce this gap between patient and health system. Objectives: To develop and validate PREM and PROM tools for diabetes in the Ecuadorian context. To achieve better clinical results and greater patient satisfaction with the system, thus adding value to the care process of patients with diabetes. Method: This is a study with two components. The first component will focus on the design and validation of PREM and PROM tools in Ecuador. A second component, consisting of a prospective cohort study for the corresponding implementation of the questionnaires obtained and their validation. Expected results: It is expected to involve patients in the care process, thus establishing a framework for achieving better clinical outcomes and greater patient satisfaction with the system.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patient portal access is feasible and useful for Spanish-speaking parents. Participants will be given an electronic tablet and will be taught how to access their child's medical record and other electronic health resources using the tablet.
Assessment of types and intensity of unpleasant experiences pre-, intra-, and postoperatively in the patients undergoing cataract surgery, using especially designed questionnaire. Strategic aim: formulation of algorithm and modification of perioperative approach to patient qualified to undergo phacoemulsification procedure.
This study evaluates the effect of Personalized Patient Engagement Plan on diabetes management in patients with at least six months of Type-2 Diabetes. The research is planned to be carried out as an experimental study with pretest-posttest control groups. Half of the participants will receive the Personalized Patient Engagement Plan; between two 2 face-to-face sessions including motivational interviews, one telephone coaching call and patient-driven home-based exercises will be conducted. Another half will receive usual care.
Confirming or denying it in the future is an opportunity for certain patient groups to have the option of video delivery. So that in calm circumstances and possibly. several times can review the video and equipment in the home and hopefully achieve the same or better compliance with the ongoing treatment.
Besides coping with the diagnosis, people with multiple sclerosis have to make complex decisions such as deciding about immunotherapies. They search not only for factual information, but also for reports of patient experiences (PEx). The investigators aim to evaluate in a randomised controlled pilot trial whether a website presenting PEx as an adjunct to factual information may help people with multiple sclerosis in their immunotherapy decision-making processes.
Background: Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a condition with an increased risk of oral cancer. Due to the current changes in the factors associated with these diseases (because of human papillomavirus), it is expected that those who have no history of smoking or alcohol, young (<50 years old), and white male would be commonly affected. Those individuals require a higher need for information, preferred a more active role in decision-making, and have a longer lifespan than older individuals. There remain no detailed studies of whether the informational needs delivered to patients with OED met their needs or indeed what information such patient may wish. A few tools are available to evaluate the IN of patients with head and neck disorders. However, the items of these instruments were dedicated to a particular disease (e.g. cancer) and hence are not applicable to be used for OED. Project aims: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Oral Epithelial Dysplasia Informational Needs Questionnaire (ODIN-Q), developed and revised in the preliminary work for the proposed study, in a cohort of patients with OED. Timescale: 19 months. Clinical significance: This questionnaire can be useful in clinical practice. It could help to meet the patient's information needs and plan educational interventions for those showing unmet needs.
