Filter by:The investigators are interested in studying the effect of an animated video depicting a nail biopsy procedure on the anxiety, health literacy, and satisfaction of participants recommended to undergo a nail biopsy procedure. The investigators hypothesize that the animated video will reduce preoperative anxiety, increase health literacy, and increase patient satisfaction in relation to nail biopsy procedures.
Observational assessment through patient interviews of relational, structural and organisational aspects related to the humanisation of health care. These data will be related to health outcomes such as pain, sleep quality, anxiety levels, adverse events (pressure injuries, falls, and mortality), satisfaction with the care received, and experience in communication processes with health professionals. Data will also be collected on work ergonomics variables (stress, burnout, working conditions, ratios) of nurses and health technicians, which will also be related to the health outcomes collected.
The aim of the present project is to clinically evaluate the bleaching effectiveness, tooth sensitivity, gingival irritation and patient´s satisfaction during a at-home bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide using a conventional bleaching tray or a clear aligner.
Perioperatively, patients experience an unnecessarily high level of side effects associated with their treatment. These side effects include nausea, severe pain, anxiety, and stress. Moreover, many patients develop postoperative delirium (POD) and neurocognitive dysfunctions, often resulting in long-term cognitive impairment, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality. However, physicians, nurses and their institutions do not receive structured feedback regarding these aspects of each patient's well-being. They may therefore be unable to engage in the essential cause-and-effect learning necessary to evaluate and consecutively reduce such side effects. Effective guidelines conform prevention is the proven key to shielding our patients from adverse Outcomes. The Safe Brain Initiative's high-quality routine data-for-action is a sword and accelerator for moving towards patient-centred, precision care. Thus, establishing a foundation for value-based and patient-centred healthcare development. However, a turnkey real-world solution is challenging to develop and implement and requires substantial resources. As a result, such solutions are usually beyond the scope of a single institution. The SBI platform provides high-quality, real-world data to bridge this gap. It allows monitoring and in-depth analysis of cause and effect in the day-to-day routine of individuals, departments, and institutions. The SBI's approach is continuously improved and updated. An organization called the SBI Global Society oversees the quality and precision of science through experts in the field. At SBI Hospitals and Flagship centres, Masterclasses are conducted and can be attended alongside clinical immersions. SBI Solutions manages, develops, and provides technical and service support for the Safe Brain Initiative. Its service guarantees the professional and GDPR conform management of data handling and storage as well as the user-friendly functionality of the SBI-Dashboard solutions.
Improving the quality of care is a daily goal in pediatric intensive care units. Measuring patient and family satisfaction is recognized as an indicator of quality of care. A validated questionnaire was specially developed to study parental satisfaction in pediatric intensive care units. A positive multi-professional analysis of clinical situations, using appreciative inquiry, within a health service can create new opportunities for learning and innovation. The establishment of such a Learning From Excellence (LfE) program tends to increase the well-being and self-confidence of caregivers and promotes dynamic learning educational programs, including simulation. It therefore seems important to assess the improvement in the quality of care in pediatric intensive care following the implementation of a Learning From Excellence program allowing positive reflection on practices as well as innovations within the service.
"Brain damage" and "memory loss" are main concerns of people undergoing surgery. In fact, many older people undergoing different types of non-cardiac surgeries (including orthopedic surgeries) present a significant decline in their cognition (i.e. the way people use their brain to think, take action, make decision, and remember) 1 year after surgery. This is called postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), and is significantly more frequent (as many as 30% of patients aged 65 or older) than what we would expect in non-surgical patients with similar age and comorbidities. Causes and mechanisms of POCD are poorly understood. Pain after surgery is also very frequent and can persist for a long time (i.e. persistent postsurgical pain, PPSP), requiring chronic medications including narcotics. Knee surgery is more often offered as a treatment in older patients with osteoarthritis, who often come to surgery after a long history of pain and impaired mobility, and who often experience PPSP. The investigators proposed to conduct a study in 200 people 55 years old or older (expected age range 55-85) who are undergoing their elective knee surgery, to evaluate the association between PPSP (and its treatment) and POCD. How cognition can interfere with resilience (coping strategies and expectations), which are also thought to influence the persistence of pain, satisfaction, and functional recovery after surgery, will also be explored. Patients will be enrolled before their surgery and followed over time, to collect data on their social and clinical characteristics, measure copying/expectations before and after surgery, and assess pain and pain medications, satisfaction and functional recovery, and cognitive performance. The study will also explore hypotheses of possible mechanisms underlying the association between PPSP and POCD, and will include interviews with a subset of the participants to explore lived experiences of pain, mobility and aging, including resilience, expectations and satisfaction with surgery.
Patient reported outcomes in patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in the head-neck region are an important part of the complex care for these patients. Health-related quality of life, decision conflicts in the choice of treatment and satisfaction with care have not yet been sufficiently studied in this patient group.
Investigators hypothesize that patients with higher expectations regarding their epidural injection experience a higher pain reduction of their lower back pain and/or leg pain after an epidural injection. Patients' expectations of an epidural injection can influence their level of pain reduction. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the prognostic significance of patient expectations on pain reduction after epidural injections ('expected benefits', see under) in patients with low back pain and/or leg pain. Investigators furthermore hypothesize that patients that have a higher match between their expectations of improvement and actual improvement are more satisfied. A secondary objective of this study is to investigate the prognostic significance of a high match between expectations of improvement and actual improvement on patient satisfaction of the treatment.
This will be a retrospective review of MHS neurosurgeon hospital (i.e., Methodist Dallas Medical Center, Methodist Richardson Medical Center, Methodist Charlton Medical Center, and Methodist Mansfield Medical Center) and ambulatory clinics (Methodist Moody Brain and Spine Institute [MBSI]- Dallas, MBSI-Richardson, MBSI-Mansfield, MBSI-Sunnyvale, MBSI-Charlton, MBSI-Grand Prairie, and MBSI-Park Cities) PG HCAHPS survey results received between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2020.
The current postoperative cataract surgery eye drop regimen used at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) is a significant burden for its patient population, contributing to high rates of non-adherence and the development of postoperative complications. The investigators propose to replace this complex regimen with a single administration of intraocular antibiotic and subconjunctival steroid at the time of surgery. This pilot study will obtain the preliminary data required to eventually fully evaluate this innovation in postoperative care in a safety-net population with respect to postoperative outcomes, patient compliance, and patient and caregiver satisfaction.
