Filter by:This study aimed to provide a recipe resource with visuals in line with the low-residue diet recommendations given to patients before colonoscopy, including cooking instructions for the meals in the diet list. In this way, we aimed to minimize confusion regarding dietary restrictions during colonoscopy preparation and ensure full compliance with the diet list. Our hypothesis is that this approach may enhance compliance with current recommendations and improve the quality of bowel preparation.
Many factors influence the quality and duration of SomatoSensory Evoked potentials (SSEP). Some are related to the technique : type of electrodes, intensity of stimulation, stimulation site ; others are related to the patient : poor state of relaxation of the patient generating muscle artefacts; hypersensitivity of the patient to electrical stimuli making the examination unpleasant; examination time considered too long. However, the patient's relaxed state is essential to the quality of the signal . Thus the duration of an examination is very variable : between 30 and 75 minutes for the upper limbs.... For several months, the investigators provide relaxation to some patients just before the examination. Results seem to be positive. The investigators aim to study the effect of relaxation session on the quality of the SSEP recordings. Fifteen-minutes relaxation session will be provided by a nurse trained to the relaxation. The investigators will compare two groups : one group with one relaxation session before the examination and one group without relaxation session before the examination. The investigators chose to study the influence of relaxation session on (i) the artifacts rejection rate by the machine for the recordings of SSEP by stimulation of the median nerve to the upper limbs (ii) the duration of the examination (iii) the patient experience
This study was conducted to examine the use of integrative treatment methods by individuals undergoing Covid-19. In this study, which was designed in the qualitative and phenomenological type, the criterion sampling method was used and 12 people were included in the sample.
Nurses are a vital and central part of the health care system, accounting for nearly half of the global health workforce and spending more time with patients than any other medical professionals. Patient experience with nursing care, as a process indicator, reflects the interpersonal aspects of care received and has an important impact on overall experience and satisfaction with hospital care. The results of the previous study showed that the most important predictor of patient satisfaction with hospitals was patient experiences with nursing care. Since nurses are so deeply and widely involved in patients' care, an instrument with a clear conception definition, systematically developed and psychometrically validated will be extremely valuable in measuring patient experience with nursing care, so as to collect and analyze patient feedback toward nursing services, and push the quality improvement according to the preferences, needs and values of the healthcare recipients. This study, therefore, aimed to develop construct and validate a comprehensive and internally consistent instrument to measure patient experience with nursing care in the Chinese hospital setting.
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.
Demographic changes in the industrialized world are expected to prompt a need for better organized and more efficient health care services. In order to curb costs, health care providers in many countries are searching for viable alternatives to hospitalizations. Norwegian white papers and reform documents presume that the municipalities will play a central role in meeting the growth in demand for health services. Central public policy documents and national research strategies highlight that we need pathways characterized by good quality and safe care, and which are responsive to needs, based on user involvement, continuity of care and successful collaboration within and between service levels. The 2012 Coordination Reform placed new responsibilities on municipalities in the delivery of primary health care services and on hospitals as deliverers of specialist services, as well as on the integration and collaboration between the two organizational levels. This reform mandates that all 428 Norwegian municipalities are obliged to establish or co-operate on establishing Municipal Acute Wards (MAW) (In Norwegian: Kommunale akutte døgnplasser), so as to alleviate pressure on hospitals. However, the research basis for these units is relatively weak. Hence, there is little information on the outcomes regarding the quality, cost-effectiveness, patient-reported as well as personnel-reported outcomes of this new level of care. This study aims at assessing the outcome of admissions to MAWs compared to a general hospital for patients in need of acute care, that can be treated at a lower and decentralized level of health care, with potentially less resources than traditional hospitalizations. The study will use a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design. It builds on previous research and systematic reviews, and aims to assess several outcomes, including health-related quality of life (HRQoL), patient experiences, cost-effectiveness, short-term mortality and morbidity, and draws on linkages to national registers.
