Abstract:

Adams et al. was the first to demonstrate an association between improved outcomes and provider experience in a 1973 study examining complication rates from coronary arteriograms.[1] In this study, a questionnaire was mailed to the directors of coronary arteriography laboratories throughout the US. They found that mortality was eight times higher in institutions performing fewer than 200 examinations per two-year period compared to institutions performing more than 800 examinations per two-year period. It was not until 1979, however, that efforts to systematically study outcomes in surgery wer

Abstract:

This thesis attempts to explain the older-patients and doctors’ relationship through negotiation. The relationship between older-patients and their doctors is important because, first, the patient-doctor relationship is basic to the health care system and is a foundation for all patient care; second, populations are ageing and this group often has a higher incidence of chronic illnesses. Therefore, the older patient-doctor consultation becomes of paramount importance in enabling patients and the health care system to manage their illnesses effectively.

<p> Climate change has become responsible for substantial mortality and morbidity around the world.

Greater understanding of the ways in which medical trainees perceive the doctor-patient relationship could inform future developments in educational provision.

Following a scoping exercise in 2002, interviews with 20 trainees (10 GP and 10 ENT) in 2004 and questionnaires from 16 ENT and 89 GP trainees in 2007 explored trainees

Abstract:

Thyroid disease, a chronic illness, affects nearly 200 million people worldwide and is more common among women than in men. Numerous factors make diagnosing and treating thyroid disease in women challenging. The standard blood test for diagnosing thyroid disease and determining treatment effectiveness is inconsistent in its accuracy. Many women with thyroid disease are misdiagnosed or struggle with symptoms even once receiving treatment. Although thyroid disease is highly prevalent among women and the doctor-patient relationship is known to influence treatment outcomes, there is a gap in the l

Abstract:

Utilizing a research technique involving semi-structured interviews and video-recordings of doctor patient consultations within British general practice, an empirically based 'ideal type' is created. This ideal type is seen to rest upon questionable assumptions, and although actors have expectations for behaviour which are consistent with the ideal type, deeper analysis of patient expectations shows them to be aware of the inapplicability of the ideal type in certain consultations. From this perspective one would expect change to be occurring. However using the concept of frames, a detailed an

Abstract:

Continuity of patient care is often described as a core value in general practice yet changes in primary care in the United Kingdom have eroded the traditional model of the patient seeing the same doctor and developing a relationship with them over time. Such patient-doctor continuity is especially valued by patients and GPs when, among other situations, the problem is psychological. However, evidence that continuity benefits patient care is limited, possibly because research has focused on its longitudinal rather than its interpersonal characteristics.

Abstract:

Abstract This study deals with the phenomenon of a doctor-patient relationship from a relationship-centered care point of view. Relationship-centered care is viewed as an opportunity for the doctor to enhance comprehensive care of the patient and to improve the quality of primary health care. The research was conducted in the context of General Practice-education aimed at physicians specializing in general medicine. The training was organized by the General Practice Unit of Northern Ostrobothnia Hospital district (PPSHP) and the Department of Medicine and Health Sciences at the University of O

Abstract:

Two main themes to the avian research presented in this thesis are, 1. Deep resolution of birds generally, and 2. Investigation of specific aspects of the New Zealand avifauna. More specifically, this thesis covers phylogeny, and predictions about palaeognaths, pigeons, pelecaniforms and passerines. Significant progress is made in resolving the basal branches of Neoaves. This thesis examines whether the six-way basal Neoavian split of Cracraft (2001) is, in principle, resolvable. New mitochondrial genomes are added to improve taxon sampling, break up long branches, and allow testing of the pri

Abstract:

A presente tese tem por objetivo estudar alguns aspectos semióticos de paixão e persuação na relação médico-paciente, uma relação sempre marcada pela verticalização e pela complexidade - de um lado, o poder de persuasão de quem detém o conhecimento; de outro, a fragilidade de quem está doente e precisa da cura. Para esse estudo, será apresentado, em uma primeira parte, um panorama da história da Medicina ocidental, bem como comparações entre os médicos atuais e os xamãs e feiticeiros de antigas civilizações. Verificar-se-á que o prestígio do profissional da Medicina atual assemelha-se ao respe

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the legal validity of living wills (advance directives) in South Africa. The study explores the current status of living wills in South Africa and contains recommendations on how legal enforceability of living wills can be improved in the South African context. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, the common law and the National Health Act, 61 of 2003, serve as basic points of departure for this investigation. Shortcomings in the current South African legislation and proposed draft legislation including the Law Commission’s Draft Bill on End of

Constatando-se a existência de uma relação positiva entre a conformidade do paciente com as orientações terapêuticas e o juízo favorável que o primeiro formula acerca do encontro com o médico, pode-se afirmar que a satisfação opera como reforço da capacidade efectiva de diagnóstico e terapêutica, da mesma forma que contribui para a continuidade de cuidados.

Abstract:

Recent decades have seen increasing recognition of the importance of patient involvement during patient-professional interactions and promotion of preventative and long term approaches to healthcare for those with long-term conditions. The concepts of 'shared decision making' and 'personalised care planning' have both been advocated by patient groups, policy-makers, professional bodies and academia as best practice. During shared decision making, patients and healthcare professionals work in equal partnership to decide the best course of action. Shared decision making is a central tenet of per
