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.
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.
