Abstract:

The focus of this study is the problem of declining trend in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patient compliance. Studies reported improved compliance in patients with chronic diseases due to technology-based interventions. However, researchers have not investigated the advantages of technology to improve the compliance of OSA patients in detail. The specific problem was the lack of engagement between patients and healthcare managers, resulting in low compliance within OSA patients. The purpose of this qualitative study was to evaluate how technology-based interventions can improve OSA patient en

Abstract:

Systematic Review: Healthcare professionals work in highly emotive environments and are considered to be at high risk of developing burnout due to the nature of their roles. There has been increased interest in applying mindfulness-based interventions for stress reduction in healthcare professionals. Previous reviews have tended to include a heterogeneous mix of patients, healthcare students and healthcare professionals. The inherent differences in these roles limits the conclusions that can be drawn regarding the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions for healthcare professionals. T

Abstract:

Malnutrition is prevalent in the geriatric population, as is age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass. Research indicates that nearly forty percent of older adults in skilled nursing facilities across the nation are undernourished, with over half experiencing protein-energy malnutrition (PEM). Effects include a gradual loss of mass, strength and function. Concurrently, studies indicate optimal protein-energy intake increases the quality and length of life, and mortality may be reduced by supplementation in this group. However, as protein needs increase, skilled nursing facilities struggle t

The best outcomes for melanoma are achieved through early detection. A novel technology, mobile teledermoscopy, allows individuals to take pictures of their nevi with a specialised camera attachment for their smartphone and send them to a teledermatologist for remote diagnosis. Currently, it is unknown whether consumers would accept such technology compared to in-person consultations. Reliability and validity tests were conducted on a 27-item questionnaire. Findings suggest mobile teledermoscopy acceptance appears high. Based on a principal components analysis, patient motivations are grouped

The study of communication was born with the study of rhetoric, and scholars have been examining the creation and reception of messages for thousands of years.

Amongst these include a predominant culture of secrecy and blame rather than openness and support; failure to listen and respond to staff or patient issues; workloads and time constraints; fragmented teamwork; an overriding focus on targets rather than people; in addition to varying percept

The increasing waiting times to access healthcare services are a major concern for pa-tients in hospitals. Due to the unpredictability of health issues, hospitals and clinical ser-vices are provided to patients even without prescheduled medical appointments. Unex-pected and random patient arrivals can result in high waiting times. Waiting occurs most-ly because of insufficient resources available compared to demanding service delivery requirements at a given time. Thus, appropriate management of resource scheduling over time can help reduce patient wait times. So far, simulation has mostly bee

This study builds on the theory of planned behavior, institutional and innovation diffusion theories to investigate physicians' responses to introduction of electronic medical records (EMR) in large healthcare organizations. Using a case study methodology, we show that physicians' attitudes towards using EMR are influenced by their perceptions of EMR complexity, relative advantage, compatibility with professional beliefs and individual predisposition to change. Specifically, we found that EMR usability characteristics such as system interface, "navigation," "search" and "speed" are major dimen
