View clinical trials related to Patient Satisfaction.
Filter by:Previously, patient satisfaction with orthodontic treatment has been reported at a broad range of 34% to 95% but these values mostly represent satisfaction for tooth alignment or simple satisfaction with treatment results. In keeping with the increased focus on patient satisfaction, many other factors were put into consideration in our study which contributes to the level of total satisfaction as host factors, concerns regarding the treatment, treatment motivation and discomfort during or after treatment. There are also a lack of studies conducted for orthodontic treatment satisfaction using previously validated questionnaires as well as correlation between patient's treatment satisfaction and ABO grading hasn't been sufficiently discussed in the literature, this study aims to address that gap. It would be also beneficial to investigate the frequency of different malocclusions presented in a sample of postorthodontic patients as it will give an insight about the distribution of the different malocclusion treated within the clinic and the degree of success in treating such malocclusions.
Research question For patients in a need for anterior crown, does the use of Milled BioHPP PEEK copings veneered with CAD/CAM composite resin offer better patient satisfaction, marginal adaptation and biocompatibility when compared Milled BioHPP PEEK copings veneered with manual layering? Statement of the problem PEEK exhibits a unique modulus of elasticity close to human bone/dentine so it acts as a shock absorber with stress reducing effect. Moreover from a biologic point of view, PEEK is highly compatible with surrounding tissues and it has very promising surface properties . The use of peek in anterior area is limited due to its opaque nature and grayish color, this drawback has been overcome by the use of composite layering material . PEEK restorations can be veneered with manual or CAD/CAM techniques. Information is lacking regarding the influence of the veneering technique on the patient satisfaction , precision of fit and biocompatibility of these restorations which will in turn influence their performance in patient's satisfaction. Rationale To achieve high esthetics when using PEEK it must be veneered by esthetic material 3 . It is available to be used manually or to be milled by CAD/CAM. The manual veneering of the PEEK coping with composite might affect the marginal integrity and the surrounding gingival tissues leading to decrease in the patient satisfaction, while the CAD/CAM veneering technique is proposed to have better patient satisfaction , marginal adaptation and an excellent biocompatible effect on the surrounding tissue. The importance of this trial lies in providing an alternative solution to the manual veneering technique, which will, in-turn, provide better restoration longevity results Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to evaluate the patient satisfaction ,marginal adaptation and biocompatibility of milled BioHPP PEEK copings veneered with CAD/CAM composite resin and compare them to milled BioHPP PEEK copings veneered with manual layering. Null hypothesis: There is no difference in the patient satisfaction, marginal adaptation and biocompatibility between milled BioHPP PEEK copings veneered with CAD/CAM composite resin and milled BioHPP PEEK copings veneered with manual layering. Primary objective: - The Primary outcome: : patient satisfaction of the two groups will be assessed by rating score 0 unaccepted , 1 good , 2 excellent - Secondary outcome: Marginal adaptation of the two groups will be assessed using the modified Ryge criteria. - Tertiary outcome: Biocompatibility (Bleeding).

The investigators are interested in studying the effects of varying lengths of musical exposure on patient anxiety and stress levels.
The main purpose of the study is to know more about the experience/satisfaction of patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS). Depending on the type of procedure, the patient will receive a sedation or a general anesthesia. At the first day post-operatively, patients will be contacted to complete a questionnaire. The questionnaire will be subdivided into anaesthesia-related discomfort and anaesthesia care in general.
This study aims to investigate whether viewing an immersive virtual reality (VR) image through a VR headset during elective hysteroscopy under Registered Nurse (RN) led sedation with fentanyl and midazolam plus local anesthesia (monitored anesthetic care) will improve patient satisfaction with their anesthesia. Patients will be randomized to either receive usual care or usual care plus VR. Satisfaction will be measured by asking patients to complete a post-procedure survey consisting of 11 questions.
Rationale A recent study into the patient perspective of patients with multiple chronic conditions in the Netherlands underlines the strain multimorbidity can put on people. Most patients would appreciate more coordination from and communication with their care providers. This call for better coordination of needs and preferences ties into the concept of Advance Care Planning (ACP). ACP is a structured process of communication in which patients and physicians discuss and, if applicable, document health preferences and goals of patients regarding their last phase in life. Most ACP studies have been performed amongst older, terminally ill patients with the main aim of establishing patients' preferences before they lose capacity. We want to investigate the potential of ACP to increase patient empowerment in a population of competent patients with multimorbidity, who are not necessarily in their last phase of life. The distribution of healthcare expenditure among the population requiring care is skewed. In the Netherlands the top-10% most cost incurring patients account for 68% of expenditure. Many of these patients receive unnecessary or ineffective care, with a recent study estimating preventable spending at 10%. High-Need High-Cost patients comprise a very heterogeneous group, yet one common denominator explaining high cost is the high prevalence of multiple chronic conditions. Both overtreatment and conflicting treatment are legitimate concerns within this population. As multimorbidity and frailty increase with age, the older patient with multimorbidity is especially at risk. Targeted care programmes have been developed under the assumption that better coordination will lead to a reduction in healthcare utilization. However, although care might be identified as preventable or inefficient from a medical point of view, this is not necessarily the case from a patient perspective. We are interested how patients experience such care and thereby if better coordination would indeed lead to a reduction in utilization. Because ACP supports patients in timely recognition and better expression of their needs and preferences, we hypothesize that care will address those needs and preferences more adequately, which will result in improved patient assessment of care. We further hypothesize that patient empowerment will enable better planning of care and decision making, which can result in less unwanted or preventable interventions. As a consequence healthcare utilization might decrease. However, another possibility is that rather than leading to a decrease, improved empowerment may lead to an increase in utilization because care which is deemed superfluous from a medical perspective might not be perceived as such by patients. Objective The primary objective of our pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a formal Randomized Controlled Trial. Our secondary pilot objectives are to collect data on patient experience of healthcare, patient engagement, cost-effectiveness, and other data that might inform the design of a full-scale RCT. Study design Randomized pilot study Study population Patients over 65 years of age with polypharmacy, multimorbidity and multiple hospitalizations and/or ER admissions in the past year Intervention One of the most well-researched ACP programmes is the Respecting Choices Programme. In this programme, a trained facilitator encourages patients to reflect on their goals, values and beliefs, to discuss and document their future choices, and to appoint a surrogate decision maker. The programme was translated to the Dutch context in previous studies in the nursing home setting and oncology care. Patients randomized to receive ACP will have two meetings with a trained facilitator within two months. Main study parameters/endpoints Primary: trial-feasibility is defined as the successful inclusion of 50 patients in total, timely administration of the intervention in 25 patients, adherence to follow-up procedures and identification of problems or barriers during recruitment, inclusion, intervention administration and follow-up. Secondary: main outcome for cost-effectiveness is total duration and number of hospital admissions, as a proxy for both costs and effects (iMCQ). In order to inform a future cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), data on health-related quality of life (EQ5D-5L) will also be collected. Our outcomes for patient assessment of care and patient empowerment are the PACIC questionnaire, the ACP Engagement Survey and the appointment of a surrogate decision maker and/or the documentation of advance directives.
The PROM Q study aims to compare patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients undergoing mastectomy and immediate implant based breast reconstruction (IBR). This is the commonest form of breast reconstruction and current advances in surgical technology have led to increasing number of patients having implants placed above the pectoral muscle (pre-pectoral), rather than below it (sub-pectoral). This has important benefits for patients including shorter surgery time, quicker recovery, and avoidance of animation deformity (visible muscle twitching of the reconstructed breast) as the pectoral muscle is not divided to cover the implant. However, potential disadvantages include rippling effect as the implant is covered by the skin and subcutaneous tissue only, as well as potentially higher risk of capsule (scar tissue) formation. By utilising a validated questionnaire (BREAST-Q), we will assess for any difference in PROMs between the two groups of patients. The results will provide valuable information for future patients when making an informed decision about their reconstruction options. This questionnaire study will include consecutive patients undergoing mastectomy and immediate IBR for breast cancer as well as for risk reduction at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. The study participants will undergo either pre- or sub-pectoral IBR based on their informed discussion with the clinical team. This is a non-randomised observational study.
Perioperative anxiety has many hazards and should be eliminated. Patients undergoing ophthalmologic procedures often undergo it under local anesthesia. In a trial to improve patients' satisfaction sedation is given. Sedation could be given either by an anesthetist or patient-controlled methods. This study compared both methods of sedation in terms of safety, depth of sedation, and patient satisfaction.
Research question: What are the outcomes of using the Facial artery Musculomucosal (FAMM) Flap to close recurrent small and medium sized oronasal fistulae based on reverse flow on patient's satisfaction versus using the Palatal Pedicled flap? Statement of the problem: To determine whether the using the Facial artery Musculomucosal (FAMM) Flap to close recurrent small and medium sized oronasal fistulae which are difficult to manage could meet the patients satisfaction regarding both success and function versus using palatal pedicled flap
A prospective single-centered feasibility study will be conducted. The purpose of the feasibility study is to define the variables to be included in a subsequent pilot study, assess the feasibility of conducting a prospective cohort study, and the logistics for the study (i.e., training, patient recruitment, data collection, statistical analysis, etc.).
