Filter by:This is a randomised controlled trial to assess the use of prophylactic lubricant eye-drops for 6 weeks following uncomplicated, routine cataract surgery to improve patient satisfaction and symptoms of dry eye, compared to controls.
This study evaluates the usability of a new tablet PC application to stimulate cognitive functions. Patients hospitalized in a geriatric ward (day or complete hospitalisation) but also their informal and professional caregivers will assess the usability of the application using a structured survey.
The study Patients Commitment to compression therapy (POMP) is observational, prospective. After the Phlebologist consultation after 1 month and 1 year, a telephone questionnaire is carried out for the patients included in the study with the involvement of a company specializing in conducting a telephone questionnaire. Patients will be interviewed about the implementation of the doctor's recommendations regarding compression therapy over a period 1 month and 1 year.
Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterization (CISC) is a procedure of regularly emptying the bladder by introducing a single-use urinary catheter through the urethra. CISC are indicated in several situations in patients with neurological pathologies but also with urological or functional disorders. The announcement of the indication of CISC is often difficult and the acceptance of this therapy remains complicated, due to the invasive side, the dependence on a material and the time required to perform CISC. A few studies have assessed patient satisfaction and adherence to self-catheterization through quality of life questionnaires, but none have examined the impact of this technique on daily life through the duration of CISC. Primary aim is to evaluate the impact of time to perform CISC on patient adherence and satisfaction. Patients over 18 years old performed CISC for more than 1 month, exclusive or not, are included. History and treatment, age, professional activity, visuals disorders, technical aids for walking and the history of CISC with the date of initiation, the type of catheter, the carrier, the number of CISC per 24 hours, the position of realization, the use of a mirror and urethral sensitivity are recorded. Cognitive disorders, fatigue, psychological state, impact on quality of life are assessed on the day of the patient's consultation. The grip of the upper limbs is explored by Box and Block and Nine Hole Peg Test. The validated questionnaires,Intermittent Catheterization Satisfaction Questionnaire ( InCaSaQ), Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire (ICDQ), Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale (ICAS) are completed. At home, patients have to complete one calendar on the specific duration of a 24-hour self-catheterization and the next day a second calendar on the total duration of CISC Primary outcome is specific time of self-catheterization described by the timed duration from the moment when the circumstances of care are combined to carry it out : isolated place, nearby equipment. Secondary outcome is total time of self-catheterization described by the timed duration from the moment of the intention to self-catheter until the return to the initial activity. Influence of age, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Moca), Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS), Box and Block and Nine Hole Peg Test, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Qualiveen Total,Intermittent Catheterization Satisfaction Questionnaire (InCaSaQ), Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire (ICDQ), Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale (ICAS) on time of self-catheterization are analysis.
The purpose of this randomized, control study is to compare liberal vs strict nil per os (NPO) policies on patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or arrhythmia ablation. The primary objective of this study is to determine if allowing clear liquids up to 2 hours prior to elective TAVR or elective arrhythmia ablation procedure improves patient satisfaction.
This is a phase IV, prospective, open label, randomized-controlled study that will compare radial access with state-of-the-art femoral access in patients without ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction undergoing cardiac catheterization. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 into 2 treatment groups: radial access and state-of-the-art femoral access. Randomization will be performed in blocks of 50 per site. Similarly, a second sub-randomization will be performed in the femoral access group into use of 18 vs 21 gauge needles, also in a 1:1 fashion.
To compare robot assisted versus conventional laparoscopic surgery performed for bening gynecologic disorders regarding cosmesis, patient satisfaction and quality of life
The investigators have designed a psychoeducational group curriculum specifically for new in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients (both male and female) to improve their treatment knowledge, to allow them to engage more in their care, to offer a support network, to improve satisfaction, and to provide them with tools to help reduce their stress and anxiety while undergoing the IVF process. The investigators plan to have four to eight infertility patients and their partners participate in a group at a time, for which they will attend three 1-1.5 hour interactive sessions that are scheduled throughout their first IVF cycle. These sessions will provide additional time for discussion about treatment with providers, learning opportunities on topics of interest to fertility patients, and stress reduction techniques. They will do several surveys before and after the intervention for comparison, including assessment of quality of life, depression, anxiety, resilience, and a knowledge assessment. The investigators will also track the patients to see if they pursue additional treatment in the instance of a negative pregnancy test compared to patients undergoing the standard treatment. The investigators plan to recruit a control group that receives the standard of care treatment here at the University of Iowa.
This randomized control trial will compare traditional patient education methods (pamphlets, clinical visits) to the implementation of an innovated patient education platform. The purpose of the project is to determine whether the use of this animation based patient education platform prior to undergoing surgery will lead to improved patient satisfaction and quality of life.
Since the 2015 Montgomery vs Lanarkshire Health Board ruling, the consent process in the UK has had to change. In practice, this means that doctors must ask themselves whether the patient knows about the material risks of the treatment being proposed, alternatives to the treatment, and whether reasonable care has been taken to ensure the patient actually knows this. This study aims to determine patients' perspectives of consent for major cancer surgery in light of the Lanarkshire ruling.
