Filter by:This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to examine the effects of virtual reality video on anxiety, comfort and patient satisfaction before coronary angiography. Data will be collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Questionnaire, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Early Postoperative Comfort Scale, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for patient satisfaction and pain, Vital Signs Follow-up Form and Complication Follow-up Form.
THE PROBLEM: Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) ask patients about their healthcare service experience. It gives them a voice to share their views. PREMs allow healthcare providers (HCPs) to see where care is good, and where they could improve. Vascular surgery is a surgical speciality looking after people's blood vessels (arteries and veins). There is no PREM available for vascular patients. The research team want to create a PREM for this patient group. WHY IT IS IMPORTANT: A PREM allows HCPs to record and understand patients' experiences of their treatment. It gives patients a way to provide feedback on their healthcare experience. PREMs can help HCPs make changes to patients' care, identifying areas of good practice and areas for improvement. The Welsh Government is keen to support the use of PREMs. AIMS: To develop a PREM specific to vascular surgery patients. RESEARCH PLAN: The research team will summarise the literature about PREMs in surgery. The research team will then run focus groups and interviews with patients and staff to create a 'draft' PREM for vascular patients in Wales. The 'draft' PREM will be translated into Welsh. In the second phase, a larger number of vascular patients (100-300 depending on how long the 'draft' PREM is) from hospitals across Wales will complete the questionnaire. Statistical tests will look at the results to see if the questionnaire works well to capture patients' experiences. Based on these results, small changes will be made to make the 'draft' PREM better. This will make sure the 'final PREM' is ready for widespread use in Wales and beyond. PATIENT AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT: The patients' experience team at CAVUHB has reviewed our patients' materials. Our research team includes PPI co-applicants (DC and AH). DC a double amputee who has had many vascular operations. DC has experience raising awareness about vascular disease through public forums like the Limbless Association Charity and BBC Radio Wales. AH has issues with her leg due to smoking and had a keyhole operation to help with that. She had some problems after the procedure This is her first time as a PPI representative. DC and AH supported our research design and will be steering group members. Also, our research focuses on giving patients a voice and will include patients across Wales. A diverse group of patients will be involved across all stages of the PREM development.
The goal of the InPerson study is to employ all resources in a digital listening platform to benefit the quality of life of patients (QoL) with advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. The care pathway of patients with this type of disease represents an optimal setting for the implementation of an innovative narrative medicine pathway that, aided by integrative therapies, aims to support and accompain them in their treatment journey with a continuum of care. Moreover, the narrative medicine platform will implement the actual "static" way to define QoL with the classic Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) questionnaires, that reflect the patient status at a certain time point and not as a dinamic entity. It is on the basis of these assumptions that the present application project on the use of the DNMLAB digital narrative diary in the oncology department of the Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli was born.
This study will conduct as a randomized pretest-posttest study to examine the effect of virtual reality glasses (VRG) application during the IUI procedure on anxiety and patient satisfaction. The population of the research will consist of women who were treated with assisted reproductive techniques and underwent IUI at the infertility polyclinic of Ministry of Health Adana City Training and Research Hospital between May and December 2024 and who meet the research criteria. The research sample was calculated as a total of 90 people (at least 45 people in each group) using the power program. Data; Personal Information Form, Visual Assessment Scale (VAS), State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Patient's Perception of Nursing Care Scale will be collected from women who agree to participate in the research. Virtual reality glasses will be applied to the intervention group.
The generative artificial intelligence tool, ChatGPT, has garnered widespread interest since its launch. This innovative multimedia platform has the potential to enhance medical communication and health education, thereby improving medical accessibility and reducing the burden on healthcare professionals. Some studies have indicated that ChatGPT achieves higher levels of satisfaction in counseling compared to human healthcare professionals. Additionally, research has shown that ChatGPT's performance in answering objective structured clinical examination questions is comparable to that of typical medical students. However, in both scenarios, it still requires editing by professionals before being used. Moreover, a recent meta-analysis evaluating ChatGPT's ability in various types of medical exams revealed inconsistent results. Before its application and actual integration into clinical practice, the investigators need to comprehend the advantages, disadvantages, and relevant limitations of ChatGPT in the field of medical communication. This study aims to simulate virtual consultations between ChatGPT, acting as a health professional, and study participants, serving as patients. It will evaluate the participants' satisfaction with the virtual consultation questions, categorized by different levels of cognition through Bloom's Taxonomy. This study plans to recruit medical professionals, healthcare-related professionals, medical students from National Taiwan University Hospital, and the general public. Two researchers will select 20 questions from the USMLE step 3 practice tests and the second stage of the Taiwan Medical Licensing Examination. These questions will be categorized into different levels of cognition based on knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, or evaluation. ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0 will answer these 20 questions without specifying the question's level of cognition. Each participant will review the answers to these 20 questions and assign a satisfaction score based on the appropriateness of each answer.
DESIGN: Prospective randomised-controlled trial AIM: To determine whether presenting both techniques of general anaesthesia and regional anaesthesia in an unbiased manner, with video media, aids the anaesthetic consent process, compared to standard verbal consent alone. OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome: - Participants' satisfaction regarding the anaesthetic consent process Secondary outcomes: - Knowledge, attitudes and practices towards anaesthesia - Participants' choice of anaesthetic technique POPULATION: General adult population (>18yrs), males and females DURATION: 2 years
Status epilepticus (SE) is a common life-threatening neurological emergency in which prolonged or multiple closely spaced seizures can result in long-term impairments. SE remains associated with considerable mortality and morbidity, with little progress over the last three decades. The proportion of patients who die in the hospital is about 20% overall and 40% in patients with refractory SE. Morbidity is more difficult to evaluate, as adverse effects of SE are often difficult to differentiate from those attributed to the cause of SE. Our experience suggests that nearly 50% of patients may experience long-term functional impairments. The precise description of the consequences of these functional impairments and their impact on quality of life after SE requiring intensive care management has been little studied. Indeed, if cognitive, physical and mental impairments are now identified in the populations of patients who required intensive care under the term postresuscitation syndrome (PICS), neuronal lesions consecutive to the SE itselfor to its cause could be responsible for these different functional alterations. Thus, the following have been described: (i) cognitive disorders in the areas of attention, executive functions and verbal fluency, visual and working memory disorders, but also spatio-temporal disorders; (ii) physical disorders such as the so-called post-resuscitation polyneuromyopathy; and (iii) mental disorders such as anxiety disorders, depressive states or those related to post-traumatic stress. Assessment and characterization of patient-reported outcomes is essential to complement the holistic assessment of clinically relevant outcomes from the patient's perspective. The POSEIDON study was a cross-sectional collection of PROs and HR-QOL components, and associated with patient functional outcomes, in those who required ICU management for status epilepticus. We propose here to continue the description of potential alterations after a subsequent ME, namely a longitudinal study (POSEIDON 2) which will also include the evaluation of patient-reported experience (PREMS) and the measurement of family burden.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare if playing music before and during an embryo transfer can make a difference for women who are going through a frozen embryo transfer as part of a medical procedure called assisted reproduction technology (ART). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does listening to music before and while having the embryo transfer make patients feel more satisfied and less anxious? - Does listening to music before and during the embryo transfer affect how likely it is for the woman to get pregnant? Before the embryo transfer, the participants will listen to music through earphones or speakers. During the embryo transfer, the participants will listen to music through speakers. During the embryo transfer, the comparison group will not listen to music and will receive the usual care. The aim is to see if listening to music before and during the embryo transfer can help make the procedure better for women.
This protocol will assess the level of satisfaction, acceptance of treatment and quality of life of patients with undetectable HIV who voluntarily change from oral to injectable antiretroviral treatment at 72 weeks of follow-up.
The use of music as medical therapy for the treatment of mental health conditions like depression and anxiety is well established. Furthermore, music is sometimes played in operating rooms and several small single center studies done during cardiology and interventional radiology procedures have demonstrated that the use of music can decrease in the use of sedation medications, pain, and anxiety during the procedures. These past studies have only looked at the impact on the participants, as the music was delivered to the participants only through headphones. This means that the impact of music on the healthcare team was not studied. However, separate systematic literature reviews on the impact of playing music in operating rooms during surgical procedures have highlighted some positive effects music has on the surgeon and the surgical team. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of playing music during interventional radiology procedures on the participants and the healthcare team. One way of studying this is to compare the responses and experience of participants and healthcare team that hear ambient music during the procedure with those who did not.
