Filter by:A randomized clinical trial (RCT) to evaluate the impact of unrestricted low fat, low residue oral intake during labor on maternal and neonatal outcomes as well as maternal satisfaction.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness and cost of a simulation-based low dose high frequency (LDHF) plus m-Mentoring training versus the traditional group-based training approaches in improving knowledge and skill in maternal and newborn care and to determine trainees' satisfaction with the approaches in Ebonyi and Kogi states. The specific objectives are to: 1. Compare knowledge and skill learning outcomes between the two groups of birth attendants trained through the simulation-based LDHF/m-Mentoring versus group-based training approaches in Kogi and Ebonyi states over 12-months. 2. Assess the trainees' satisfaction with a simulation-based LDHF/m-Mentoring and group-based training approaches in improving skills of birth attendants in the selected facilities in Kogi and Ebonyi state over 12-months. 3. Determine the cost and cost-effectiveness of LDHF/m-Mentoring and group-based training approaches in improving skills of birth attendants in the selected facilities in Kogi and Ebonyi state over 12-months.
The purpose of this study is to pilot the introduction of a newly developed palliative care tool to clinicians in a family health team. The intent of the tool is to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of palliative care, which effects caregiver and patient satisfaction with care received, as well as clinician satisfaction with their delivery of care. Tool effectiveness will be evaluated by measuring satisfaction scores of caregivers, patients and clinicians who receive training and access to the tool compared to caregivers, patients and clinicians providing usual care (without the tool). Uptake of the tool and user feedback will be collected
The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between ward cats and patient satisfaction and stations atmosphere in patients with substance abuse, depression and psychosis. Moreover, we wanted to investigate the patients perception of the ward cats and the relationship between station atmosphere perceived by the employees working wards with and without cat at UKP Basel.
The decision making process for stress incontinence surgery is complex. A key gap in the literature is how to improve patient preparedness and satisfaction for mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery that is reproducible and low cost. Multimedia can assist in bridging this gap. The specific aims of the proposed research: (1) is to develop two videos to counsel patients who have elected to undergo a MUS surgery. One video will be created from a patient-centered perspective using peers as counselors. The second will employ a traditional counseling approach; (2) To compare the impact of multimedia counseling between women randomized to a patient-centered counseling versus a traditional counseling video. The investigators will recruit patients who present with stress urinary incontinence who elect to undergo a MUS procedure. Women will be randomized during their pre-operative visit to watch the patient-centered or traditional counseling video before they are counseled regarding their upcoming MUS surgery in the usual manner. The investigators anticipate women randomized to a patient centered-video will report higher satisfaction, less decisional regret, greater preparedness, and less anxiety as measured by validated scales. Successful completion will improve understanding of patient's needs and will allow development of improved educational tools readily available to the AUGS community.
To evaluate the effectiveness in terms of color variation, patient satisfaction, absolute risk and intensity of dentin sensitivity due to dental bleaching in the office with 35% hydrogen peroxide (Whiteness HP Automixx 35%, FGM) and Opalescence Boost 38% ( Ultradent, South Jordan, UT, USA) in the same arch in patients of different age groups: 18 to 25 years and 40 to 65 years. Data will be collected, tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis
The goal of the study is to determine if the addition of a superficial cervical plexus block to a traditional interscalene plexus block will provide superior perioperative analgesia to an interscalene brachial plexus blockade alone for repair of clavicle fractures and non-/malunions.
Postoperative pain, nausea, and vomiting are frustrating sequelae of elective breast surgery. Poorly managed postoperative pain can lead to increased opioid use, increased postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), delayed return to work and usual activities, unplanned hospital admissions, surgical complications, and patient dissatisfaction. In light of the growing opioid epidemic in the United States, any intervention that potentially minimizes opioid use may have meaningful individual and societal impact. In patients undergoing breast reduction and breast augmentation surgery, multiple techniques for managing postoperative pain are used commonly. One such technique is the use of a paravertebral block (PVB), which is a method of injecting local anesthesia into the area surrounding the spinal nerves in order to decrease sensation and pain in the chests and breasts in the setting of breast surgery. PVB is generally used concomitantly with standard multimodal perioperative pain management including cool compress, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, and opioids. All of these pain management strategies are used at the University of Wisconsin and are considered standard of care for breast surgery nationwide. The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate interventions that aim to optimize pain control, minimize the risk of PONV, and improve recovery after elective breast surgery. We will do this by (1) Comparing PVB with standard pain management strategies in patients undergoing planned breast reduction and breast augmentation, and (2) Comparing "enhanced recovery after surgery" (ERAS) strategies to standard of care for patients undergoing planned breast reduction and breast augmentation. This will be studied using pain assessments, validated surveys, medication logs, and review of medical records.
The present single-center prospective exploratory study, conducted at Heidelberg University Hospital, assesses the feasibility of introducing a concept for additional patient care based on a mobile application for patients undergoing radiotherapy. Patients presenting themselves for the irradiation of thoracic or pelvic tumors will be surveyed regarding general performance, treatment-related Quality of Life (QoL) and symptoms and their need to personally consult a physician on a treatment-daily basis by means of a mobile application. The primary endpoint of feasibility will be reached when 80% of the patients have successfully answered 80% of their respective questions scheduled for each treatment day. Furthermore, treatment-related patient satisfaction and diagnosis-related QoL is assessed by PSQ-18 and EORTC questionnaires at the end of radiotherapy and at the first follow-up.
In Egypt, the evidence for quality processes has not been established yet in the current training programs for surgery residents. There are no published articles discussing career satisfaction among surgical residents. Therefore, we are going to conduct a self-designed survey in Egyptian university hospitals to measure residents' satisfaction and display views about their undergraduate surgical education, surgical education during internship year, post-graduate training program, and extracurricular activity during medical school.
