Filter by:The proposed VIDEO randomized trial will help inform clinical practice regarding the utility and perceived value of videoconferencing for postoperative care of urogynecologic patients by comparing patient satisfaction with virtual video visits and traditional in-office visits after pelvic organ prolapse and/or anti-incontinence surgery. Patient satisfaction will be measured by the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire-18 at the 6-week postoperative visit. The investigators hypothesize that patient satisfaction with the virtual postoperative visit will be non-inferior to an in-office visit. The study will secondarily investigate other important components of healthcare quality, including safety and clinical outcomes, by comparing postoperative healthcare resource utilization and adverse events within 12 weeks after urogynecologic surgery. Healthcare resource utilization as measured by patient-initiated phone calls, unscheduled in-person/virtual office visits, emergency room or urgent care visits, and inpatient readmissions within 6 weeks following surgery and within 12 weeks following surgery. The study also aims to evaluate patient and provider preferences/attitudes toward in-office versus virtual-video postoperative visits.
In Latin America, Colombia ranks fourth in countries with the highest number of people with disabilities (6.4%), 80% of whom live in low socioeconomic strata, have little access to education and high unemployment rates. Of these nearly 3 million people with this condition, an estimated 11,476 need upper limb prostheses, 12% of whom have transradial or below-elbow amputation. Although many of the functions that have been lost by amputation can be recovered with a prosthesis, few people in Colombia use these devices. This is because, currently, only aesthetic and mechanical options are found, and the most advanced options, such as myoelectric ones, are manufactured in other countries, have very high prices and are not designed according to local needs. The only option manufactured at the national level is the one developed by Protesis Avanzadas S.A.S., but it still has aspects to improve that would lead it to better adapt to the needs of Colombian users. All of the above shows the evident need for the country to generate products that can help this population. The objective of this project is then to redesign, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a good quality transradial myoelectric prosthesis, focused on the Colombian amputee population and improving acceptance rates. For the design phase of the study, a group made up of health professionals and patients with transradial amputation will be included to evaluate the preferences and priorities of their prosthesis. For pre-commercial validation, an effectiveness study will be carried out by means of a randomized crossover clinical trial with 12 participants in which the functioning and quality of life of the user with and without the prosthesis and satisfaction with it will be analyzed using methods of Bayesian statistics. This study is expected not only to improve the quality of life of people with transradial amputation and their families, but also to provide a functional option for the health system.
Acupressure, which is a type of nonpharmacological practice. Acupressure is a practice that provides energy flow by applying pressure to the special points of the meridians that innately carry energy in the body with stimulation bands, hands, and fingers. Acupressure is also known as acupuncture without needles. Because no needles are used in acupressure, acupressure is an easy, safe, effective, and economical method to learn and apply. There is no study to determine the effect of acupressure on acute pain, patient satisfaction and stress, which is applied to adult patients during the venipuncture procedure. In this context, the study was planned to be conducted in a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of acupressure on acute pain, stress level and satisfaction during venpuncture in adult patients.Patient Evaluation Form, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Visual Patient Satisfaction Scale and State Anxiety Inventory will be used in the study. The scales will be used before and after venpuncture. Acupressure will be applied to the adults in the acupressure group for 10 min before the venipuncture procedure. Pain, heart rate, and oxygen saturation levels of the adults in the acupressure and control groups will be evaluated both before and after the venipuncture procedure.
