Abstract:
SummaryThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of heroin dependent patients before and 1 year after the start of methadone maintenance treatment. Subjects were patients (n = 102) requesting treatment in a public methadone maintenance programme in Geneva (Switzerland). This was a prospective follow-up study using a validated questionnaire (SQLP). The SQLP was well accepted by patients and staff. Validity of the questionnaire was reconfirmed in this population. Compared to previously studied populations, the quality of life of heroin dependent patients before start of treatment was poor. More than half the patients were still in treatment after 1 year and their quality of life had clearly improved, in most domains. Like many of their peers in the psychiatric field, the patients had high initial expectations. Expectations decreased significantly over time. It was found that the higher were the initial expectations, the poorer was the quality of life after 1 year. The quality of life of heroin abusers requesting treatment is mediocre, and improved considerably after 1 year of comprehensive methadone maintenance treatment. Quality of life evaluation is feasible in this population and can offer an additional evaluation of quality of substance abuse treatment.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there were differences in mortality, dialysis method survival, hospital admissions and days of hospitalization, between diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treated by continuous ambulatory dialysis (CAPD) and those treated by haemodialysis (HD).
All diabetic patients (n = 241) treated for newly diagnosed ESRD in four university teaching hospitals, in Montreal, between 1980 and 1993, were studied (n = 112 began with CAPD, n = 129 with HD).
The data regarding these patients were analyzed using actuarial methods and Cox's proportional hazards model, controlling for severity of pre-treatment co-morbid conditions. Intent-to-treat (ITT) and treatment history (TxHx) censoring criteria of analysis were also used.
At baseline, the CAPD patients were younger and had more co-morbid conditions, particularly cardiovascular diseases, than the HD patients did.
The findings regarding mortality and first dialysis method change were similar in both the ITT and TxHx analyses. The mortality rate ratios varied with time since beginning of treatment. The adjusted mortality rate ratios (ARR) for CAPD patients relative to HD patients during year 1, 2, 3, and thereafter were 1.1, 1.6, 2.9, and 4.5 respectively. The rate of dialysis method change was also greater in the CAPD patients compared with HD patients (ARR = 4.4, P $<$ 0.001).
Both the rate of hospital admissions and average days of hospitalization for the CAPD patients were about twice those for the HD patients (0.21 vs 0.11 admissions, and 4.6 days vs 2.4 days, per month of first dialysis therapy).
The findings regarding mortality suggest that in the short term, the initial choice of dialysis method and any subsequent switch between CAPD and HD for a patient can be made without serious concern about the influence of the dialysis modality on patient survival. However, in the longer term, the influence of the choice of the initial dialysis on patient survival is substantial.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to revise and expand the Hope Maintenance Scale. An exploratory design was used to content analyze qualitative data collected from 226 heart transplant patients in the primary study, "Predictors of Quality of Life in Heart Transplantation". Results supported five of the six original dimensions of hope contained in the Hope Maintenance Scale. The five dimensions substantiated were: Downward Comparison, Fostering Optimism, Belief in a Powerful Other, Avoiding Painful Situations or Material, and Viewing the Situation as Temporary. Subcategories for the dimension of Optimism were generated and termed: Forced Optimism, Guarded Optimism, Euphoria, and Gratefulness. The subcategory of Exceptional Experience was developed for the category of Downward Comparison. Normalizing was proposed as an antecedent of hope. Of subjects who expressed normalizing activities, 60% also used other hope maintenance strategies. Of subjects who reported Threats to Normalizing, 42% used no other hope maintenance strategies.

Part A: is the research protocol which outlines the background and the process of this research. This study is a population-based observational study nested within the Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) cohort of a global study, REMEDY which is a prospective, multicentre, hopital-based registry for rheumatic heart disease (RHD). This study made use of geographical information systems (GIS) as a tool to investigate the effect of distance on the maintenance of INR therapeutic ranges in RHD patients. Part B: elaborates on the background and highlights the importance of this research by exploring the existing theoretical and empirical literature relevant to the topic. It describes the importance of the maintenance of the INR therapeutic range and how geographical factors can influence patient adherence to medication, and how it can act as a barrier to access health care. It provides examples of how GIS has been used to investigate the effect of distance on adherence in other studies. This literature review aimed to establish whether the maintenance of therapeutic ranges in RHD patients on anticoagulant therapy is correlated with the distance travelled from patient's residence to the clinic where INR monitoring takes place. Part C: presents the entire project in a format suitable for journal submission. The background of this research project is summarised and the results are presented and discussed.

ABSTRACT Name: Gail Elizabeth Parsons Date: August, 2011 Title of thesis: Exploring The Experiences of Osteoarthritic Patients Awaiting Hip And Knee Arthroplasty: Informing and evaluating the effectiveness of a health maintenance intervention. Aim of the study To explore the lived experiences of patients with severe osteoarthritis of the hip and knee joint whilst awaiting primary joint replacement surgery. To utilise findings from interviews and evidence-based literature to develop a health maintenance clinic (HMC) intervention, followed by its evaluation. Methodology A mixed method design was adopted: an exploratory approach incorporating descriptive phenomenology consisting of unstructured interviews with participants awaiting their hip or knee replacement surgery, followed by a randomised control trial (RCT) to compare the existing preoperative assessment service with a health maintenance clinic intervention. Setting and sample A purposeful sample of 6 people with osteoarthritis awaiting joint replacement were interviewed. In addition, a sample of 250 people (mean age 73 years) were recruited via an orthopaedic out-patient department for the RCT following referral to the waiting list for hip or knee replacement surgery. Outcome measures The Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) tool was used at the time of referral to waiting list and again during the preoperative assessment appointment. The Hospital Patient Satisfaction Index (HP SI) was administered at the preoperative assessment appointment. Number of surgery postponements was also recorded. Results Six themes emerged from the interview data: living and coping with pain; not being able to walk and move around; coping with every day activities; how others see me; help, advice and support whilst awaiting surgery; effect upon family, friends and helpers. The RCT revealed; no significant difference between the total WOMAC scores between the two groups. Participants attending the HMC (experimental group) were significantly more satisfied with their care. There was no relationship between satisfaction and WOMAC scores. There was a significant difference in the number of postponements of surgery between groups, with a greater proportion of participants proceeding to surgery in the experimental group. Conclusion The interview data generated new knowledge of the experiences, concerns and symptoms of individuals waiting for primary hip and knee replacement surgery. Health maintenance provision 'tailored' to the individual was revolutionary at the time of the study. Patient satisfaction was significantly high and the number of postponements of surgery was significantly less for those attending the clinic.

Bachman, Robert Lee 1947. "A Psychosocial Comparison Between Weight Loss Maintainers and Weight Loss Non-Maintainers." Thesis, University of North Texas, 1989. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc330956/.

Full text
Abstract:
Psychosocial differences between weight loss maintainers and weight loss non-maintainers were compared at least one year after reaching a medically approved weight goal through a medically supervised weight loss program. Research questions addressed differences between groups on the dimensions of somatization, obsessive/compulsive issues, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, ability to resolve past emotional issues, social interpersonal relationships, and tolerance of ambiguity. The all-female sample consisted of maintainers of weight loss (N=30), non-maintainers (N=33), psychotherapy maintainers (N=14), and psychotherapy non-maintainers (N=ll). Research instruments administered were the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised, Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior, Personal Orientation Inventory, and Budner Scale for Tolerance/Intolerance of Ambiguity. To determine differences between groups, a t test was performed on data relating to the maintaining and non-maintaining groups. An analysis of variance was performed on data related to the maintaining, non-maintaining, psychotherapy maintaining, and psychotherapy non-maintaining groups. An intercorrelation matrix was completed for all variables. Non-maintainers of weight loss had significantly more difficulty with somatic problems as indicated in the results of both the t test and the analysis of variance (p < .009, p < .02, respectively). Non-maintainers expressed more complaints which focused on cardio-vascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and somatic equivalents of anxiety (headaches, pain, discomfort of the gross musculature). An analysis of variance showed non-maintainers (p < .05) to be significantly less effective in resolving past emotional issues than maintainers, psychotherapy maintainers, and psychotherapy non-maintainers. Non-maintainers were more burdened by guilt, regrets, and resentments from the past. Results of the analysis of variance indicated that psychotherapy maintainers (p < .03) were more socially adjusted than maintainers, non-maintainers, and psychotherapy non-maintainers. Inclusion and control subscales characterized psychotherapy maintainers to be more socially adaptable and flexible. They assumed responsibility without support of others and were less burdened with fears of helplessness and incompetence.

Research Purpose: Since December 2005, the Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) project has been implemented by the government. Now the accumulative number of people receiving therapy was more than 17,000, and the person-time of taking medication was 5,331,066 (person/day). But so far few researchers have examined the physical and mental status of drug addicts under treatment. Therefore, in this study, we will examine the physical and mental status of drug addicts under treatment especially focusing on the significant differences caused by their individual characteristics, situations of using other substances, and the factors involving them in the MMT project. Research Method: This study used a self-administered, structured questionnaire to collect people, with their agreement, who participated in MMT project, and receiving treatment over two months in central Taiwan. There were 410 valid questionnaires (valid return rate is 77.36%). First, we use Pearson product-moment correlation, independent-sample t test, and one-way ANOVA to inquire into the influence relationship of each variable. Second, we use multiple regression analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis to find the important factors affecting the physical and mental status of drug addicts under treatment. Research Results: The subjects tend to be male, the marriage status was unmarried, the education level was high school or above, the financial status was general, employed and in a habit of smoking. Their average age is 36.63 years old, the average duration of using heroin is 8.13 years, and the average period of participating in MMT project is 7.44 months. Advanced analysis found that age, educational level, self-conscious financial status, working conditions, the average number of years of heroin use and the doses of Methadone caused significantly differences for Physical Component Scale (PCS) on drug addiction treatment patients. And, self-conscious financial status and working conditions caused significantly differences for Mental Component Scale (MCS) on drug addiction treatment patients. Conclusion and Suggestion: Overall, drug addiction treatment patients with lower ages or full-time jobs or better financial status will get better treatment results in their physical and mental health. In order to conduct case management and understand the outcome of the treatment, we recommend that it should create a national database in the future and assess their physical and mental health status regularly.

Full text
Abstract:
Current surgical treatment options for Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS), with distraction- or growth-guidance systems, show limited growth and high complication rates. We developed the Spring Distraction System (SDS), which does not have to be periodically lengthened and which provides continuous corrective force to stimulate spinal growth. This study aimed to assess curve correction and maintenance, spinal growth, and complication rate following SDS treatment. All primary- and revision patients (conversion from failed other systems) with SDS and ≥2 years follow-up were included. Outcome measures were coronal Cobb angle, sagittal parameters, spinal length measurements and complications and re-operations. Radiographic parameters were compared pre-operatively, post-operatively and at latest follow-up. Spinal length increase was expressed as mm/year. Twenty-four skeletally immature EOS patients (18 primary and 6 revision cases) were included. There were 5 idiopathic, 7 congenital, 3 syndromic and 9 neuromuscular EOS patients. Mean age at implantation was 9.1 years (primary: 8.4; conversion: 11.2). Major curve improved from 60.3° to 35.3°, and was maintained at 40.6° at latest follow-up. Mean spring length increase during follow-up was 10.4mm/year. T1-S1 length increased 13.6mm/year and the instrumented segment length showed a mean increase of 0.8mm/segment/year. In total, 17 re-operations were performed. Ten re-operations were performed to treat 9 implant-related complications. In addition, 7 patients showed spinal growth that exceeded expected growth velocity; their springs were re-tensioned during a small re-operation. Spring distraction may be feasible as an alternative to current growing spine solutions. Curve correction and growth could be maintained satisfactory without the need for repetitive lengthening procedures. Complications and re-operations could not be prevented, which emphasizes the need for further improvement.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses a variety of practices the healthcare education community can adopt from the psychotherapy literature regarding therapeutic alliance training when supervising trainees, and provides a series of recommendations, grounded in the extant literature, to bring these practices to life. In addition to describing how healthcare educators can translate Bordin's therapeutic alliance model to the medical and allied health communities, this chapter discusses aspects of therapeutic alliance facilitation and maintenance supervisors can address explicitly in supervision, including attunement to the developmental stage of trainees, using the supervisory alliance with trainees, addressing issues of diversity and multiculturalism, and increasing trainee self-awareness in the service of alliance maintenance. Specific strategies including role-play, alliance measurement, and use of video/audio recording are discussed. Supervisors can apply these nomothetic concepts to their scopes of practice and address idiographic concerns with trainees that emerge in their patient populations.

Full text
Abstract:
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a comprehensive intervention in chronic lung diseases, including personalized special therapies, exercise training, education and behavioral changes to improve the physical and psychological status of the patients, and aims to promote behavior that helps improve health status in the long term. A personalized PR program administered by a multidisciplinary team is recently considered a standard and complementary treatment method in chronic lung diseases. After the PR program, dyspnea of COPD patients decreases and their exercise capacities increase. Their daily life activities and physical activities increase. Their functional dependence decreases and quality of life increases. It presents a perfect opportunity to provide self-management and independence for the patients and improve their quality of life. Studies have shown that, unless there is a structured maintenance program, after an average of 6–12 months following PR programs, the gains that are realized start to decrease. Decrease of gains due to causes like a decrease in compliance to exercises, disease progress, attacks and co-morbidities. Causes such as decreased compliance to exercise, progression of the disease, attacks and comorbidities play a role in reducing gains. Especially in advanced age and in the presence of severe disease, the gain in exercise tolerance is lost more rapidly. The methods used and the results obtained to ensure the continuation of the gains differ.

The promotion and maintenance of health should be a goal of health services and thus a clear definition is essential. At a personal level we can distinguish the difference between feeling well and feeling ill, but converting this to an index that measures health and illness in a population is far more complex (Hart 1985). Health, disease, and disability mean different things to different people at different times, and providers of health care may hold very different views compared to the users of health care. Definitions of what constitutes health and illness ‘will vary within cultures, subcultures and communities and even within households’. The different ways in which people think about health influences what they do to protect their health, when they decide to use health services, and how they use health services. How health is defined also affects health care professionals’ attitudes to patients and how health care is organized. Different disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and epidemiology, for example, also construct health in different ways and they use different approaches and methods to study and understand health (Naidoo and Wills 2008). This chapter will briefly review the commonly used definitions of health, disease, illness, ill health, and disability. It will consider some of the implications these differences have for the measurement of health, the assessment of need, and how health care is delivered and used. Health can be defined objectively as normal functioning of the body systems and processes. It can be measured objectively, e.g. at an individual level the measurement of blood pressure against a ‘normal’ level, or in populations as the prevalence of people with or without a condition, for example the proportion of 5-year-olds who are caries free. Health may also be defined subjectively by age, gender, or social class. For example, young people may talk about health in terms of being physically fit and being able to participate in sport; older people may talk about health in terms of ability to undertake normal daily activities and tasks.

Alam, Mohammed. "A Decision Analytical Model Investigating Cost-Effectiveness of Erlotinib." In Qatar University Annual Research Forum & Exhibition. Qatar University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.29117/quarfe.2020.0145.

Abstract:
Background: A decision analytical model investigating cost-effectiveness of Erlotinib was submitted to the UK NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), which was not based on actual health-state transition probabilities, leading to structural uncertainty in the model. The study adopted a Markov state-transition model for investigating the cost-effectiveness of Erlotinib versus Best Supportive Care (BSC) as a maintenance therapy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Unlike manufacturer submission (MS), the Markov model was governed by transition probabilities, and allowed a negative post-progression survival (PPS) estimate to appear in later cycle. Using published summary survival data, the study employs three fixed- and time-varying approaches to estimate state transition probabilities that are used in a restructured model. Results: Post-progression probabilities and probabilities of death for Erlotinib were different than fixed-transition approaches. The best fitting curves are achieved for both PPS and probability of death across the time for which data were available, but the curves start diverging towards the end of this period. The Markov model which extrapolates the curves forward in time suggests that this difference between a time-varying and fixed-transition becomes even greater. Our models produce an ICER of £54k -£66k per QALY gain, which is comparable to an ICER presented in the MS (£55k/QALY gain). Conclusions: Results from restructured Markov models show robust cost-effectiveness results for Erlotinib vs BSC. Although these are comparable to manufacturer submissions, in terms of magnitude, they vary, and which are crucial for interventions falling near a threshold value. The study will further explore the cost-effectiveness of therapies for NSCLC in Qatar.
