Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness of educational videos for patients who have just had kidney transplant compared to usual patient education practices. Eligible patients will have the opportunity to enroll in this study after their transplant procedure either before hospital discharge or at their first follow up clinic visit.
Noise in the operating room is common and often unavoidable, but there is mixed evidence of its impact. Previous research has suggested that excessive noise at the time when a patient is being 'put to sleep' may lead to care teams missing changes in monitors, having difficulties focusing or increasing stress. However, it is unknown ifs noise at this time affects the patient's satisfaction with the overall surgical experience. The investigators are conducting a survey study to evaluate patients' and anesthesiologists' overall satisfaction at the time of induction, before and after an education program promoting reducing noise in the Operating Room. Study Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how noise levels that the time of induction in the OR (operating room) effect patient and anesthesiologists' satisfaction with the overall surgical experience. Hypothesis: The null hypothesis is that there is no improvement in patient satisfaction with the reduction of noise at the time of induction. Study Population: The Investigators will be including two study populations: patients age 19 or older undergoing elective, non-cardiac surgery with general anesthesia as the primary mode of anesthesia, and; Anesthesiologists working in these rooms. Research Method: This will be a pre/post survey study of patients and Anesthesiologists perspectives of noise in the OR. The investigators will survey participants before and after an educational intervention for OR staff.
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is a highly effective treatment for patients with symptomatic hip osteoarthritis. The surgical approach in THA is important as it influences postoperative clinical recovery, functional outcomes, and implant positioning [1]. The evolution of surgical techniques in THA has led to the development of minimally invasive surgery, which is performed through smaller skin incisions, reduced soft tissue disruption and greater muscle preservation [2-10]. This prospective, randomised control study compares clinical and radiological outcomes in THA performed using the standard posterior approach (PA) and its less invasive modification, the direct superior approach (DSA). The study will include 80 patients with hip osteoarthritis undergoing THA. Following informed consent, patients will be randomised to one of the two treatment groups, and undergo THA using either the PA or DSA. The control group includes patients undergoing THA through the PA while the investigation group includes patients undergoing THA with the DSA. A further 25 patients randomly selected from each treatment group will undergo radiosteriometric analysis (RSA) to assess differences in early implant migration between PA and DSA groups. Clinical and radiological outcomes of interest will be recorded by blinded observers at regular intervals for 2 years after surgery. The findings of this study will enable an improved understanding of differences in postoperative clinical recovery, functional outcomes, and implant positioning in THA performed using the DSA compared to the PA approach.
The purpose of the study was to determine whether the race and gender of a simulated doctor affected analog patients' reported confidence and satisfaction in the simulated doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan. The study used two randomized patient analog experiments. This study is complete and pre-analysis plans (PAPs) for each experiment were published prior to data collection. The PAPs are available at: http://aspredicted.org/blind.php?x=43xj25 (Study 1) and https://aspredicted.org/blind.php?x=369st7 (Study 2).
10 years of follow-up with SF-36 global (Quality of Life issues), GSRS (Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale) and two reflux specific questionnaires.
It is aimed to determine patient satisfaction (pain assessment during and after the operation) and the initial and total anesthesia durations of eye lid and globe anesthesia after administration of local anesthetic solution only in standard applied volumes (1.5-3 ml). No agents will be added to the local anesthetic agents used in the conventional retrobulbar block in patients who will undergo cataract surgery,
The affectedness of the motor control of the upper limb, particulary, the hand and/or fingers, appears in many neurological diseases, what is going to impact on the functionality of the subject. The use of new technologies in the rehabilitation environment, has the target to reduce the impact on the disabling conditions. So that, the goal of this investigation is to evaluate the system use effectiveness of the Leap Motion Controller® in the treatment on the upper limb on patients with neurological disease.
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.
Stress and anxiety during childbirth have negative consequence on both mother and fetus. Previous studies have learned the effect of several intervention to reduce anxiety during labor- such as music and foot reflexology. Nevertheless, data for informative video before labor for reducing stress and anxiety are sparse. The present study aimed to review and determine the effect of informative video on anxiety, pain and outcomes of the labor in primigravida women.
