Abstract:

Objective: Describe the experience of inpatient pediatric patients’ relatives at Ninh Binh Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in 2021. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study carried out on 245 inpatient pediatric patients’ relatives at Ninh Binh Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from July 2021 to April 2022. In this study, we used a set of questionnaires to assess service users' experience of medical facilities and health care systems (Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems – CAHPS) developed by the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Results: Overall assessment of the hospital, the rate of positive experiences of the patients’ relatives at the hospital reached 54.7%. In which, positive experience on hospital discharge accounted for the highest rate (over 64%). The aspect of doctor and nursing care accounted for over 40% of positive experiences. The subsection on experience in this treatment of the patients’ relatives had the highest positive experience rate with 43.8%. Besides, the hospital environment were positively experienced by relatives of pediatric patients, from 30 to 35%. The understanding of care after leaving the hospital had the lowest positive rate <30%. Conclusion: The overall positive experience rate of patients’ relatives were above 50%. Further studies are needed to understand the causes and processes by which the patient's family members have negative experiences at the hospital. Keywords: Experience, CAHPS, Family members of pediatric patient, Inpatient treatment, Ninh Binh Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital.

Abstract:

This study aims to determine how the experience of nurses who experience acts of violence by schizophrenic clients. The type of research used in this research is qualitative, which intends to explain and provide understanding and interpretation of various behaviors and experiences of humans (individuals) in multiple forms. The study results produced several themes, namely the form of violence, the condition of the patient, preventive measures, the state of the nurse when receiving violence, the health condition of the nurse, and the time the patient was angry. In conclusion, the violence experienced by nurses was being hit, pulled, thrown using a food holder, and spat on. The patient's condition who commits acts of violence is that the patient's hallucinations are occurring, the patient is unstable, and the medicine is not taken. Keywords: Nurse Experience, Schizophrenia, Violence

Abstract:

Patients' views of curative and hindering factors in psychoanalytic group psychotherapy are explored, starting with semi-structured interviews with 28 young adult patients at therapy termination. Using grounded theory methodology, a theoretical model of therapeutic action is constructed, elucidating the interactions between positive and negative experiences in the group. The focal point appears to be the patient's experience of their own activity within the context of the group as whole, leading to increased self-knowledge and improved handling of emotions. The positively experienced change is also affected by people outside of therapy and real life events. The patients ascribed most frequent hindering factors to the absence of their own action to other group members and to the therapeutic frames. In contrast to therapist-based theoretical models, positive experience in the group leads patients to minimize the therapist's role, while negative experiences lead patients to want a more active therapist.

Abstract:

Objective: implementation of value-based approach and development of adherence to treatment in patients with non-melanoma cancer.Material and methods. The observational, single-arm, prospective, long-term single-center study of the quality of life and patients’ experience was performed. It included 42 patients aged from 42 to 82 years. Validated questionnaires were used: Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) (as a decision support tool), Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) (3 months after treatment to assess the patient's experience).Results. Mean concern about appearance was 43.5 points (Rasch psychometric model). Younger patients (r=–0.398, p=0.009) and female patients (r=–0.475, p=0.001) were more concerned about appearance. In 10 cases (24%), the involvement was estimated as 4 points, in 18 cases (43%), it was 3 points, in 14 cases (33%), it was 2 points. Older patients were less involved in the choice of treatment method (r=–0633, p<0.001). The level of satisfaction with communications was more than 50 points. The use of a patient-oriented algorithm of communication has a positive effect on a patient's experience.Conclusion. The heads of oncological care are recommended to evaluate the patient's experience on a regular basis, create conditions for patients to choose treatment methods according to their individual needs, analyze the outcomes obtained by the introduction of validated questionnaires on the appropriate nosological profile and take these results into account in treatment. Further studies of the degree of influence of different factors on a patient’s choice of treatment method are needed, as well as conducting studies among other groups of patients with non-melanoma skin cancer (located in other parts of the body, larger than 2 cm).

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate patients' experiences with the Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device (FFRD). Methods: This was a survey focused on patient's comprehensive experience with FFRD, both initially and after several months of wear, including the patient's overall impression of the appliance. The survey was administered to 70 patients wearing FFRD in both university and private practice settings. Results: A high percentage (81.5%) reported a neutral to favorable experience with FFRD; 89.8% reported growing accustomed to the appliance within 4 weeks. The majority of those who had previously worn rubber bands found FFRD to be “easier.” Cheek irritation was the most serious side effect (about 50%). Cheek irritation and other negative effects generally decreased over time. Conclusions: The FFRD is relatively well accepted by patients. Most patients experience some discomfort and functional limitations; however, the effect generally diminishes with time, and patients adapt to the appliance. Practitioners should be especially vigilant about problems with cheek irritation.

Abstract:

SummaryClinicians in all specialties may encounter patients who are in the process of seeking asylum in the UK. This article outlines the practical realities of this process, particularly the legal, social, and economic challenges faced by applicants, and the long wait for resolution. These are highlighted as factors that may have an impact on the psychological health and social functioning of patients. This social and economic context is of particular interest to mental health professionals involved in the care of asylum-seekers; assisting in the process of case formulation, risk assessment, care planning, and the preparation of medico-legal reports.

Abstract:

Objective The primary aim of the present study was to consider health care service quality from the patients’ perspective, specifically through the patient’s eyes. Method A narrative analysis was performed on 300 patient stories. This rigorous analysis of patient stories is designed to identify and describe health care service quality through patients’ eyes in an authentic and accurate, experiential manner. Results The findings show that there are variant and complex ways that patients experience health care service quality. Conclusion Patient stories offer an authentic view of the complex ways that patients experience health care service quality. Narrative analysis is a useful tool to identify and describe how patients experience health care service quality. Patients experience health care service quality in complex and varying ways. What is known about the topic? Patient satisfaction measures are increasingly used for benchmark and accreditation purposes. Measures of patient satisfaction are considered indicative measures of service quality and quality of care. However, the measurement of patient satisfaction and service quality is not an accurate reflection of what and how patients experience health care. What does this paper add? This paper takes a narrative approach and analyses 300 patient stories to demonstrate the essence of patients’ evaluation of health care service quality. What are the implications for practitioners? Health care service quality is shown to be experienced in various ways. Identifying and describing these different ways of experiencing health care service quality provides practitioners with strategic insight into improving the quality of service they provide outside the realm of objective satisfaction measures. These findings also demonstrate the value in a third-party feedback system.

Abstract:

This article presents a history of medicine from the patient's viewpoint. Using archival materials from the Takinogawa Health Survey, conducted in Tokyo in 1938, the article examines differences in self-reported morbidity according to patients' ages and genders. It also examines differences in their choices of treatment according to income. The article proposes to understand these differences with reference to sociocultural, biological, and economic factors.

Abstract:

AbstractObjective:It can be assumed that patients' participation in a phase I study will have an important impact on their partners' life. However, evaluation of partners' experiences while patients are undergoing experimental treatment and of their well-being after the patient's death is lacking. We aimed to explore partners' experience of patients' participation in phase I studies and to investigate their well-being after a patient's death.Method:This was an observational study conducted after the patient's death. Partners of deceased patients who had participated in a phase I study completed a questionnaire designed by us for experience evaluation and the Beck Depression Inventory for Primary Care, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Inventory of Traumatic Grief, and the RAND-36 Health Survey.Results:The median age of the 58 participating partners was 58 years (range: 51–65), and 67% was female. Partners reported negative effects on patients' quality of life, but only 5% of partners regretted patients' participation. Approximately two years after the patients' death, 19% of partners scored for depression, 36% for psychological distress, and 46% for complicated grief, and partners generally scored significantly lower on social and mental functioning compared to normative comparators.Significance of Results:Although partners reported negative consequences on patients' quality of life, most did not regret patients' participation in the phase I studies. Prevalence of depression, psychological distress, and complicated grief seemed important problems after a patient's death, and these must be considered when shaping further support for partners of patients participating in phase I trials.

Abstract:

As the COVID-19 pandemic diminishes, it is expected that patients will seek more outpatient appointments resulting in adverse patient and clinic experiences if there is a corresponding increase in missed appointments. This study's purpose was to determine if there was an association between advanced access scheduling, also known as open access or same day scheduling, and missed appointment rates for patients scheduled with preferred primary care physicians vis-a-vis nonpreferred primary care physicians. Patients prescheduled with primary care providers and over the age of 18 years were included in the study, which totaled 4815 visits. Study results demonstrated a statistically significant mean proportion difference between the national no-show rate and the study's no-show rate as well as a significant association between physician type and visit status. The results suggested the potential for improving the patient experience with advanced access scheduling if patients are scheduled with their preferred primary care physician. This study may promote positive patient experiences by providing patients and clinicians with an understanding of the significance surrounding advanced access scheduling thus decreasing missed appointments.

Abstract:

Objectives: The evaluation of telemedicine from the patient's point of view has focused on the patient pathway and patient satisfaction. However, research in this field does not provide us with the means to assess a patient's perception of the procedure if their reasoning ability is impaired. In this study, we use direct observation of a patient's behavior and mood to assess their perception of an oral teleconsultation procedure.Methods: This study has been conducted in the context of a pilot project using an asynchronous teleconsultation to improve access to dental care for the dependent elderly, disabled people, and prisoners, some of whom may be cognitively impaired. We use a direct observation form consisting of five behavioral variables and eight affect variables to reflect the patient's experience of the oral teleconsultation procedure.Results: A total of 135 patients were evaluated; 10 refused the procedure. Psychotic patients (n = 33) had a somewhat negative experience during the oral teleconsultation procedure. Patients who were not psychotic had a positive experience; this decreased as we moved from the autonomous to the semi-autonomous and then to the dependent sub-group. Some gender differences were also noted.Conclusions: Improving evidence on evaluating the acceptance of the cognitively impaired is required to improve the technology development process so that it can be translated into an improved patient experience and adherence. Although the study was specifically focused on teledentistry, the approach described in this study could be adapted to other forms of teleconsultation.

Abstract:

The informal caregiver is pivotal to the postoperative experience of patients. The purpose of this study was to explore the informal caregivers' experience while accompanying patients through thoracotomy surgery. Specifically, and exclusively, the informal carers' personal reactions, needs and views regarding their experience in the patients' surgery trajectory were explored. A convenience sample of eight informal caregivers of patients who had undergone thoracotomy were interviewed approximately 2 weeks following discharge from a general hospital in Malta. The findings revealed knowledge regarding participants' experiences of demands and fears associated with the 3Cs: cancer, challenges and coping. The impact of timely information-sharing and support on the informal caregiver's experience was highlighted. These findings suggest that careful consideration of both a patient's and informal caregiver's needs promotes an enhanced hospitalisation experience, and creates opportunity for a better transition back home. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Abstract:

500 psychologists were mailed clinical vignettes and a questionnaire regarding a prospective patient seeking to adopt a child. The vignettes were equivalent except for a paragraph stating the patient's religious beliefs. Analysis showed that neither statements of religiousness nor stability of belief was shown to influence the clinicians' judgements on whether adoption should occur, the probability that they would recommend therapy, or estimate of the patient's adaptive functioning. Psychologists with 13 to 19 years of experience were more likely to recommend therapy than more or less experienced groups, although this finding was not related to religiousness.

Abstract:

Background: Adults with congenital heart disease constitute a relatively new and continuously growing patient population. In addition to medical problems, patients perceive specific psychosocial concerns that influence their lived experiences and quality of life. Aim: This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of adult congenital heart disease patients. Methods: Unstructured, in-depth interviews were performed with 12 patients, aged between 25 and 40 years and suffering from moderate or severe heart defect (tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries). Interviews were tape recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed using Grounded Theory procedures. Results: Feeling different was the central theme of the patients’ lived experience, as they are faced with physical limitations and visible signs due to the heart defect. The experienced discordance between their world and healthy individuals’ world implies that patients struggle constantly with themselves and with their environment to be accepted as normal. The feeling of being different was influenced by attitudes of the environment, health care, and patient's personality. Moreover, it determined the perceived impact of the disease on the patient's daily life. Conclusion: This study shows that normalisation is the most important process when dealing with patients suffering from a congenital heart disease.

BACKGROUND: The number of coronary angioplasty procedures performed has increased more than tenfold in the past decade. Most research to date has focused on efficacy of the procedure, quality-of-life issues, and measures to promote comfort after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Little or no research has examined the patient's experience during angioplasty. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the angioplasty experience from the patient's unique perspective. METHOD: Focus-group interviews were used as the qualitative method for data collection. The sample consisted of 45 patients (26 male, 19 female) who had undergone percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty 3 to 18 months before the interviews. Seven focus groups (with four to nine subjects each) were conducted. Each 2-hour interview was tape recorded. Data were analyzed by using a constant comparative method. RESULTS: A wide range of themes emerged from the data. Positive themes included the following: contentment with comfort measures, satisfaction with supportive hospital care, and trust in medical competence. Negative themes included anger over unmet needs for comfort or support, feeling dehumanized, and frustration with lack of control in decision making. CONCLUSIONS: This study uncovered a broad range of experiences among patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Although most participants described very positive experiences, many patients expressed bitter dissatisfaction regarding several aspects of their care. Healthcare providers must be aware of these possible reactions so that they can anticipate, recognize, and intervene early and appropriately.

Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore nursing students' experiences with patient deaths during clinical practice. Methods: The participants were ten nursing students who had experienced patient deaths during clinical nursing practice at a university hospital in Korea. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted, and the data were analyzed using the content analysis method suggested by Graneheim and Lundman (2004). Results: The participants' experience was structured into six categories: experiencing various emotions in facing patient deaths, viewing oneself as a nursing student at the scene of a patient's death, thinking about death again, finding a pathway of understanding and support for patient death experiences, impressions and regret felt while actually observing terminal care, and picturing oneself as a future nurse dealing with a patient's death. Conclusion: Based on this study, stress management and self-reflection programs are suggested for nursing students who have experienced patient deaths. Practical nursing education for patient death and end of life care is also needed.
