Filter by:This study examines the effects of a transitional care program in stroke patients on self-care behavior, quality of life, and hospital readmission. The research conceptual framework is based on the Transitional Care Model by Naylor. Sixty participants with stroke patients at Charoenkrung Pracharak Hospital will be recruited. These participants are stratified by block randomization using NIHSS score and divided into 2 groups; a control group (n=30) and an intervention group (n=30). The program consisted of 2 phases: 1) Phase I during hospital admission and 2) Phase II following hospital discharge
This clinical trial at the University Department of Geriatric Medicine FELIX Platter in Basel, Switzerland, is designed to evaluate a new transitional care model aimed at helping frail older adults after they get discharged from the hospital. The AdvantAGE study aims to explore the following questions: - Does the new care model help reduce the number of patients who need to return to the hospital within 90 days? - How effective is the implementation of this care model? Participants in the trial will be followed by advanced practice nurses for up to 90 days after hospital discharge. The patients and their caregivers will receive support in coordinating care, managing medications, and learning to manage the patient's health conditions on their own. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to engage in discussions about advanced care planning.
This is a single-center pilot study examining the feasibility and acceptability of a transitional rehabilitation intervention, PICTURE-THIS, among critical illness survivors and their families. The intervention activities include transitional care coordination and activity-based rehabilitation delivered by a specialist team and integrated into usual care. There are three components to the assessment of feasibility and acceptability in this study: 1. User testing the PICTURE-THIS protocol to work out basic challenges to feasibility and acceptability. 2. Assessing the feasibility and acceptability of the user-tested PICTURE-THIS protocol. 3. Assessing the feasibility and acceptability of research activities required to test the clinical efficacy of PICTURE-THIS to improve outcomes among critical illness survivors and their family caregivers.
Global population aging has drastically increased healthcare spending worldwide, with the greatest portion going to hospital and community health services. Heart failure (HF), as the final form of many cardiovascular diseases resulting from insufficient myocardial pumping. Ineffective self-care is consistently identified as the major modifiable risk factor for HF decompensation requiring hospitalization. It refers to an active cognitive process that influence patients' engagement in self-care maintenance, symptom perception and self-care management. However, current studies pay much focus on interventions such as motivational interviewing and behavioural activation to enhance the HF-related self-care and health outcomes which only produces short-term benefits. In fact, the lack of a sustainable effect from the self-care supportive interventions might be related the use of patient-centric design in these studies, which totally ignores the fact that HF management takes place in a dyadic context. To advance, active strategies were adopted to mobilize collaborative effort of the dyad in actual disease management. This study aims to evaluate the effects and cost-effectiveness of a Dyadic empowerment-based Heart Failure Management Program (De-HF) for self-care, health outcomes, and health service utilization among HF patients who require family support after hospital discharge. The De-HF program is based on the Theory of Dyadic Illness Management to enhance the congruence in illness perception and active dyadic collaboration in managing HF via both face-to-face and online platforms.
Infant and Child Monitoring Protocol prepared by the General Directorate of Mother and Child Health and Family Planning of the Ministry of Health regarding the monitoring of postpartum processes in our country. However, there is no separate recommendation for home follow-up and care of mothers and babies who gave birth preterm. In addition, there are deficiencies in the effective conduct of home visits specified in these guides. In addition to the parents' lack of knowledge about the long-term follow-up and care of these babies, the coordination between primary and secondary health care providers and senior health care providers is not at the desired level. In addition to all these, services such as training and consultancy cannot be carried out due to disruptions in many polyclinic services due to the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. For this reason, there is a need to develop programs for home care and follow-up of preterm infants, who are a sensitive population, in terms of both reducing the patient density in hospitals and reducing the hospital return rates of preterm infants. In this context, the aim of our research is; The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of discharge training based on the Transition Model in parents with preterm infants.H1: In the group in which the interventions based on the Transition Model are applied, the information needs of the parents will be met more compared to the control group. H1: Parent-infant role development will be higher in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied. H1: The level of coping with stress will be better in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied. H1: The level of grief will be lower in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied. H1: The level of postpartum depression will be lower in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied. H1: Babies in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied will have fewer hospital admissions, except for the planned outpatient visit
The department of Congenital Heart Disease of the Ghent University Hospital (Belgium) developed a transition program dedicated to adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD): 'Transition With a Heart´ (TWAH). TWAH was developed based on the Dutch program 'On your own feet´, starting at the age of 12 years and continuing after transfer. The most vital core components include a general and individualized flowchart, adolescent-centred communication, a joined transfer consultation and an appointed transition coordinator. TWAH focuses on promoting disease knowledge, autonomy and skills development of adolescents with CHD. Interventions encompass the use of a communication-paper, autonomously talking to professionals, individualized education and skills development plan. Interventions were selected from the highest sources of scientific evidence currently available including (quasi-) experimental studies, narrative literature reviews and expert opinions. TWAH is the intervention in the conducted study. Hence, the intervention group are adolescents with CHD and their parents who are participating in TWAH. Adolescents and their parents who are transferred according to standard care (joined transfer consultation only) are identified as the control group and will be examined in the post test phase in order to be able to make comparisons with the intervention group. At baseline (the start of TWAH) participants of the control group already made the transfer to the adult ward. The investigators consider the following hypothetical scenario: - TWAH will have a positive influence on disease knowledge and transition experiences of the participants.
Care transitions are the movement of a person from one healthcare setting to another. Older adults who require skilled home health care ("home health") services (e.g., home-based nursing) after hospital discharge are at high risk of experiencing early re-hospitalization. Home health agencies need strategies to ensure safe transitions, yet there is relatively little research to guide improvement efforts. The goal of the study is to develop and test tools to allow home health agencies to identify and act upon threats to older adults' safety in real time. The investigators first analyzed threats to older adult safety during hospital-to-home health transitions and refined a bundle of interventions through stakeholder engagement. This prospective pilot will implement and measure the bundle of interventions.
Despite high risks of readmission and complex medical needs, there are no transitional care standards in the U.S. for patients with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) discharged home from acute hospital care without inpatient rehabilitation. To enhance the standard of TBI care, we will develop and refine a patient- and family-centered TBI transitional care intervention that addresses specific needs and preferences for patients with TBI (age < 65 years) and families and will assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the intervention.
To evaluate the effectiveness of Nurse Led Transitional Care Model (TCM) on the functional autonomy, quality of life and rehospitalization rates of elderly patients undergoing open heart surgery.
This clinical study evaluates risk and protective factor to develop psychopathology in transitional age youth. 300 patients will be recruited at the age of 17 years old and assessed at baseline and 2 years later.
