N2 - Colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) rates are low among men and women who seek health care at federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). This study explores health care providers perspectives about their patients motivators and impediments to CRCS and receptivity to preparatory education. A mixed methods design consisting of in-depth interviews, focus groups, and a short survey is used in this study. The participants of this study are 17 health care providers ...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is diagnosed and managed primarily by general practitioners (GPs). OA guidelines recommend using clinical criteria, without x-ray, for diagnosis, and advising strengthening exercise, aerobic activity and, if appropriate, weight loss as first-line treatments. These recommendations are often not implemented by GPs. To facilitate GP uptake of guidelines, greater understanding of GP practice behaviour is required. This qualitative study identified key factors influencing implementation of these recommendations in the primary-care setting. Semi-structured interviews with eleven GPs were conducted, transcribed verbatim, coded by two independent researchers and analysed with an interpretive thematic approach using the COM-B model (Capability/Opportunity/Motivation-Behaviour) as a framework. Eleven themes were identified. Psychological capability themes: knowledge gaps, confidence to effectively manage OA, and skills to facilitate lifestyle change. Physical opportunity themes: system-related
Primary care clinicians often address multiple patient problems, with a range of possible outcomes. There is currently no patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) which covers this range of outcomes. Consequently, many researchers use PROMs that do not capture the full impact of primary care services. In order to identify what outcomes a PROM for primary care would need to include, we conducted interviews with patients and practitioners. This paper reports these patient and practitioners views on the outcomes arising from primary care consultations. Semi-structured interviews were held with 30 patients and eight clinicians across five sites in Bristol. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically. We used a broad definition of health outcome as the impacts of healthcare on health, or a patients ability to impact health to identify outcomes through this process. 10 outcome groups were identified. These occupied 3 domains: Health Empowerment: These are the internal and external
Even before the first case of COVID-19 was identified in the United States, there were concerns regarding how to diagnose this infection among persons presenting with a compatible clinical syndrome who did not have any known sick contacts or other epidemiologic risk factors for infection. Given the successful implementation of molecular assays to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA from a nasopharyngeal swab specimen in many other countries that were affected by the pandemic before the United States was and the excellent performance characteristics and availability of this type of assay for many other respiratory infections, from a clinicians perspective, it was unclear that there was much of a diagnostic challenge to surmount. However, after the pandemic began to spread in the United States, it immediately became clear that the availability of this diagnostic testing needed to be rapidly developed and scaled up. SARS-CoV-2 molecular testing was initially performed only at the CDC, with local state health ...
Pain in cattle can arise though disease or injury or may result from veterinary or husbandry procedures. Controlling pain is important to safeguard animal welfare. Previous studies indicated that the use of analgesics in cattle has lagged behind use in companion animals. Over the last decade, more analgesic products have become available for use in cattle and there have been increased efforts to communicate the importance and benefits of analgesia. A questionnaire (based on that used in a similar study published in 2006) was sent to UK cattle practitioners asking them to score pain severity for several conditions of cattle and asking about their attitudes towards and use of analgesic medicines. A total of 242 surveys were returned. Male clinicians and those graduating before 1990 scored pain severity significantly lower and were significantly less likely to use NSAIDs. Generally, use of NSAIDs was more common for conditions assigned higher pain scores. However, uptake of NSAID use was much lower ...

During the opening session at the National Comprehensive Cancer Network 21st Annual Conference, healthcare providers came together to discuss palliation from the provider and the patient perspective.
There were differences in the perceptions and interpretations of BFHI across participants. Greenhalgh et al [18] stated that the meaning of an innovation to individuals was important to its adoption. Whether an individuals understanding of the innovation fits with the understandings of managers, service users, and other stakeholders will affect individual adopters. Different perceptions could potentially lead to unfulfilled expectations and disillusionment with the innovation. In this study some participants appeared to raise the status of the BFHI to that of a saviour of breastfeeding and thereby a strategy that would increase health and well being of children and adults both locally and globally. For most participants, however, the BFHI was perceived as a list of tasks to be achieved.. Participants also tended to equate the BFHI with breastfeeding promotion. Rather than the BFHI being a strategy to improve the practices of health professionals within the hospital setting, it was interpreted ...
A study of homosexual men and women was undertaken to ascertain what factors contribute toward being open with health professionals about ones sexual orientation and how this openness affects quality of care. Six hundred twenty-two men and women responded to a questionnaire distributed in the Gay Community News. Almost half (49%) had explicitly shared with their primary health professional that they were homosexual, another 11% assumed their health provider knew, and only 7% would not share this information with their health provider under any circumstances. Those who had shared this information were more satisfied with their primary health professional and, if male, were more likely to have been checked for venereal disease. Health professionals attitudes towards homosexuality were an important concern of respondents; 27% felt that a previous health professional had been prejudiced towards homosexual persons. ...

AU - Richard, Byng. AU - Fleming, Jo. AU - Heaton, Janet. AU - Krska, Janet. N1 - © The Author(s) 2018. PY - 2018/1/15. Y1 - 2018/1/15. N2 - Background: Many people now take multiple medications on a long-term basis to manage health conditions. Optimising the benefit of such polypharmacy requires tailoring of medicines use to the needs and circumstances of individuals. However, professionals report barriers to achieving this in practice. In this study, we examined health professionals perceptions of enablers and barriers to delivering individually tailored prescribing. Methods: Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) informed an on-line survey of health professionals views of enablers and barriers to implementation of Individually Tailored Prescribing (ITP) of medicines. Links to the survey were sent out through known ...
Antibiotic prescribing towards the end of life is common in all care settings but, to our knowledge, no national or international guidelines exist to support decision-making in this area. This work aimed to address some of the gaps by scoping the available evidence base and by exploring clinician attitudes and behaviours via survey. We concluded that the goals of antibiotic therapy towards end of life are often ill-defined and the potential for harm is frequently under-recognised.. In response, we have developed good practice recommendations for clinicians, identifying three important principles for consideration: (1) decisions about whether to prescribe antibiotics should be taken jointly between the clinical team and the patient; (2) the goals and limits of antibiotic therapy should be defined and agreed at the outset; (3) all antibiotic prescribing decisions should be reviewed regularly. Clinicians are encouraged to discuss antibiotic prescribing decisions with their patients when making ...
When we asked Swedish patients in qualitative interviews what AHC meant to them, both female and male patients expressed feelings of being disempowered and devalued. The core category in the female sample was a feeling of being nullified and in the male sample mentally pinioned.15 ,16 However, when staff was asked the same question (in the preintervention study), the answers were quite different. They explained theoretically what AHC could be, for example, transgression of ethical principles, but they were also occupied with explanations and justifications as to why AHC occurred, and the core category was ethical lapses. In accordance with their ambiguity and inability to handle AHC, it was treated with silence and as a taboo.17 Moreover, staffs awareness of AHC was dependent on their possibilities to act; low awareness was seen when there were few possibilities to act.18. High prevalence of AHC, creating long-lasting suffering among patients and little awareness about the problem among ...
In 2015-16, across England and Wales, 62.6 per cent of students in state-funded schools achieved A*-C grades in both GCSE English and GCSE mathematics, a key success indicator for schools. The percentage of students entering further education (FE) colleges the following year with both A*-C grades in GCSE English and GCSE mathematics was 34 per cent. In other words, FE colleges pick up large numbers of students from local schools who achieved less well than their peers; the ones who stay in sixth form and take A-levels.. It is a role FE colleges play that is largely unacknowledged by government and the media. Students typically stay at college for two years, during which time it is expected that they are transformed, on mass, into the skilled workforce the country is crying out for.. What the Government says it wants from its further education sector is that it produces the skilled workforce the country needs to compete in a global marketplace. What the Government really wants, is that FE ...
A novel decision aid to assist patients and physicians with shared decision-making (SDM) in the setting of symptomatic aortic stenosis was linked to improved patient knowledge and satisfaction in a new pilot study, but the physicians using it werent particularly enamored with the formalized tool.. Interventional cardiologists and surgeons on the structural heart team didnt believe that the quality of their clinical encounters with patients was improving and felt that patients had a poor grasp of the decision aid, say investigators. As a result, clinicians attitudes towards SDM and decision aids underwent little transformation, and implementation is unlikely, Megan Coylewright, MD, MPH (Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, NH), and colleagues write in their paper published January 29, 2020, in JAMA Cardiology. This is a critical finding, challenging the simplistic framing that once fully developed tools are available, sustained use of a decision aid will occur, leading to ...

Abstract Background Inattention to the frequency of patient movement has been correlated with system-induced harm events, diminished favorable health outcomes, and reduction in patient and staff satisfaction. The incidence of adverse events increases significantly when multiple unnecessary lateral relocations result from secondary efforts to relieve hospital capacity constraints and improve efficiency. Methods A systematic review of literature was conducted to evaluate the impact of adverse events, patient and staff perceptions, and resource utilization on frequent patient placement events. Results Results of the analysis demonstrate that increased adverse events, negative patient and staff perceptions, increased workload, and resource utilization is significantly associated with intra-hospital transfer events. Conclusion The operational workflows designed to decrease throughput, address capacity constraints, and improve efficiency has a negative effect on the outcomes of patients within the acute
Posted: 12.02.2018. Comments: 0. Dear Member. The Department of Health and Social Care is asking for you to complete a national survey currently being undertaken on health and work in clinical care that will shape future provision of training and support for healthcare professionals. It is open until 11 March 2018.. As part of the work relating to the Governments command paper Improving Lives: the Future of Work, Health and Disability, Public Health England (PHE) is taking forward a programme to support healthcare professionals through knowledge and skills development to embed discussions about health and work, and where appropriate signposting and referral, into routine clinical practice.. To shape this programme, PHE is surveying all healthcare professionals regarding what support they need and want. We are keen that our profession is well represented in this important survey, so would be grateful if you could take the time to complete this short survey.. Please share your view on behalf of ...
Both doctors and patients have completely different perspectives as regards how much they should be paying for medical services. The public, the press and the politicians feel that doctors have become greedy and mercenary, and are just out to make money. A doctor has a completely different perspective ! After all, he is potentially saving a human life, and how can anyone put a value on human life. Isnt that irreplaceable, and shouldnt that make his services priceless? He cant understand why a patient grudges paying the doctor his professional fees. Isnt he providing a service which goes far beyond delivering monetary value ? The problem is that when we are healthy , we dont think about the medical services we may need . We expect to remain well, which means we take our health for granted . We save money in order to plan our holidays, but we dont budget for having to spend any money just in order to remain healthy. This is why when we fall ill, it comes as a bit of a shock , because it is ...

After years of preaching that the chemotherapy is the only viable solution for cancer treatment, John Hopkins is ready to offer a new alternative for treating cancer.. The strategy addresses the general population and works with concepts, self consciousness and responsibility, a combination meant to simplify the process of getting rid of the cancer danger.. Every human body contains cancer cells, according to Hopkins, but the cells do not appear during a screening until they have reached a huge number. When the doctors tell the patients that there are no cancer cells left in the body it just means that the tests are no longer showing them because their number is very low.. The cancer cells appear 6 to 10 times in a persons body during a lifetime and if the immune system is strong they are destroyed and do not generate tumors.. When the diagnosis of cancer is put to a patient it means that the person has severe nutritional deficiency that come to complete the genetic predisposition, the ...

Background: Clinical practice variation that results in poor patient outcomes remains a pressing problem for health care organizations. Some evidence suggests that a key factor may be ineffective internal and professional networks that limit knowledge exchange among health care professionals. Virtual communities have the potential to overcome professional and organizational barriers and facilitate knowledge flow. Objective: This study aimed to explore why health care professionals belong to an exemplar virtual community, ICUConnect. The specific research objectives were to (1) understand why members join a virtual community and remain a member, (2) identify what purpose the virtual community serves in their professional lives, (3) identify how a member uses the virtual community, and (4) identify how members used the knowledge or resources shared on the virtual community. Methods: A qualitative design, underpinned by pragmatism, was used to collect data from 3 asynchronous online focus groups and 4 key

AU - Zwar, Nicholas. PY - 2015/1/1. Y1 - 2015/1/1. N2 - Background General practitioners (GPs) are an important source of pre-travel health advice for travelers; however, only a few studies have investigated primary healthcare provider-related barriers to the provision of pre-travel health advice, particularly to travelers visiting friends and relatives (VFR). We aimed to investigate Australian GPs knowledge, attitudes, and practices with regard to VFR travelers. Methods A postal survey was sent to randomly sampled GPs in Sydney, Australia, in 2012. The questionnaire investigated GPs perception of risk and barriers to the provision of advice to VFR travelers.

This study is the first of its kind to investigate the perspectives of the supply side on delivering public health care under the contract service. Different from most preceding studies that only focused on village doctors, our study places emphasis on the THC managers as well. It is somewhat surprising in our study that the managers were also dissatisfied with their work conditions. While most health providers in this study complained about the heavy workload, insufficient remuneration and overlook or contempt exhibited by patients and supervisors, the contract actually facilitated them to provide villagers with more public health service and forced them to begin to commit to primary health care. Meanwhile, the villagers who had received the contract services felt satisfied with the doctor-patient relationship. In developed countries, general practitioners were commonly inclined to consider that they had the overall responsibility for the patients primary health care in a capitation-based ...

Smoking is currently accepted as a well-established risk factor for many oral diseases such as oral cancer and periodontal disease. Provision of smoking cessation care to patients with oral problems is a responsibility of health care professionals, particularly dentists and dental hygienists. This study examined the smoking-related perceptions and practices of dental school hospital-based health professionals in Japan. A cross-sectional study design was used. The sample was formed from dentists, dental hygienists, physicians and nurses of a dental school hospital in Tokyo, Japan (n = 93, 72%). Participants were asked to complete an 11-item questionnaire assessing demographic variables and smoking history, provision of smoking cessation advice or care, attitudes about smoking cessation, and perceived barrier(s) to smoking cessation care. Eighteen percent of participants reported being current smokers and 15% reported being ex-smokers, with higher smoking rates reported by dentists compared with other
Factors influencing nurses attitudes towards healthcare information technology. Aim(s) This literature review examines the current trend in nurses attitudes toward healthcare information technology (HIT).. Background HIT implementation and expansion are at the core of global efforts to improve healthcare quality and patient safety. As a large portion of the healthcare workforce, nurses attitudes towards HIT are likely to have a major impact on the electronic health record (EHR) implementation process.. Evaluation A search of PubMed, CINAHL and Medline databases produced 1930 combined hits. Returned articles were scanned for relevancy and applicability. Thirteen articles met all criteria and were subsequently reviewed in their entirety.. Key Issue(s) In accordance with two change theories, if HIT implementation projects are to be successful, nurses must recognize that incorporating EHRs into their daily practice is beneficial to patient outcomes.. Conclusion(s) Overall, the attitudes of nurses ...
The National Health Service (NHS) has rapidly adopted telemedicine solutions as an alternative to face-to-face consultations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of HCPs (Healthcare Professionals) were unfamiliar with Telemedicine prior to the current pandemic. Remote consultation is expected to continue for the foreseeable future, thus we designed this survey. A survey designed to evaluate the use of telephone consultation by HCPs, assessing its implementation, challenges and drawbacks. A web link survey conducted through SurveyMonkey was sent to HCPs across six UK Trusts the period of May 2020. The survey received 114 responses (84%) being doctors. 95% of respondents had not received training prior to engaging in telemedicine consultations. 64% were unaware of the updated General Medical Council guidance concerning remote consultations. The most common barrier in remote consultation was the inability to access patient records raised by 37% of respondents. However, 73% of respondents felt ...

Clinical Guidelines. A professional attitude and behavior must be maintained at all times during clinical rotations. Confidentiality must be maintained with no exceptions. IT IS HIPAA LAW! Unprofessional behavior or breach of confidentiality will be grounds for automatic dismissal from the pharmacy tech program. Health care leaves no room for violations in either of these two areas. Information obtained at clinical sites must be kept in the strictest of confidence. Situations may be discussed within the class; however, no information is to be shared outside the classroom or clinical setting. A positive attitude and strong work ethics will be expected at all times when at the clinical sites. You will treat all staff and health care professionals with respect and courtesy. There will be not sitting around in the lobby, break room, etc. You will work steadily for the length of time you are present at the clinical site. As there are a minimum of 50 clinical hours required (10 of which must be in a ...
The environment, and how humans affect it, is more of a concern now than ever. We are constantly told that halting climate change requires raising awareness, changing attitudes, and finally altering behaviors among the general public-and doing it fast. New information, attitudes, and actions, it is conventionally assumed, will necessarily follow one from the other. However, this approach ignores much of what is known about attitudes in general and environmental attitudes in particular-a huge gap lies between what we say and what we do. Solving environmental problems requires a scientific understanding of public attitudes. Like rocks in a swollen river, attitudes often lie beneath the surface-hard to see, and even harder to move or change. This book helps us read the water and negotiate its hidden obstacles, explaining what attitudes are, how they change and influence behavior. Rather than trying to change attitudes, we need to design solutions and policies with attitudes in mind. Heberlein illustrates

From the Mastering Stuttering Training Manual). The realization that we humans operate from five basic ways of looking at experience offers tremendous potential in state control and in the enhancing of our communication. NLP first offered three positions. We have expanded them to five positions. We refer to these ways as being the first, second, third, fourth and fifth perceptual positions and explain them in The Users Manual for the Brain. I have modified that material especially for PWBS (See Figure 3).. First Position. When you associate into your own body, you live in first position. This permits you to look at the world from your own viewpoint. In the first position, you do not take into account anyone elses position. You simply think, How does this conversation or communication affect me?. First position is the normal and healthy position of seeing, hearing, and feeling from out of self. It is the position needed in order to speak with authenticity, to present yourself, your ...
Madelaine, 62, who asked to remain anonymous, is a teacher with 40 years experience in a formerly white public high school east of Johannesburg. She agrees that teachers do not know enough. Recently, a department head in her school gave a test to pupils studying tourism. It asked them to name two countries in South America. Italy was among the answers suggested by the department head, Madelaine says. A professional attitude needs to be instilled into young people entering the [teaching] profession. For many people it is sheltered employment, as they fail to meet deadlines and present quality lessons and yet are never sanctioned, she says.. One fix would be to introduce school inspectors. The South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU), the countrys largest teaching union, is opposed. Their stance harks back to a time when inspectors from the white National Party government were viewed with suspicion in black schools. They were just there to find fault, policing teachers without ...
This qualitative exploration of junior doctors experiences of managing patients with MUS highlights a large gap in their knowledge about the topic and appropriate patient management, and emphasises the urgent need for improved postgraduate teaching for newly-qualified doctors.. Junior doctors described patients with unexplained symptoms as a challenging group of individuals who are often perceived as impossible to help, and some questioned the legitimacy of such patients demands on doctors time and resources. Similar attitudes towards patients with unexplained symptoms have been reported in other studies with GPs in primary care settings,14 ,23 ,24 and are thought to stand in the way of doctors ability to provide optimal care.25 ,26 Some of the negative views that junior doctors held towards patients with MUS appeared linked with their exposure to the dismissive attitudes of senior role models; findings similar to that of a recent study examining the attitudes of medical students.18 These ...

But Elder Renlunds talk, stirred something within me. In his own words he shared a personal story:. In my past profession, I was a cardiologist specializing in heart failure and transplantation, with many patients who were critically ill. I saw many people die, and I developed a kind of emotional distance when things went poorly. That way, feelings of sadness and disappointment were tempered.. One evening, a patient named Chad was brought to the hospitals emergency department in full cardiac arrest. My associates and I worked for a long time to restore his circulation. Finally, it became clear that Chad could not be revived. We stopped our futile efforts, and I declared him dead. Although sad and disappointed, I maintained a professional attitude. I thought to myself, Chad has had good care. He has had many more years of life than he otherwise would have had. That emotional distance soon shattered as his parents came into the emergency room bay and saw their deceased son lying on a ...

If talent, drive and determination are enough to make a local band succeed, three local Santa Rita High alumni, Crosswind (that s singular, folks) are well on their way. Bassist Charles Faucher, 23; vocalist/guitarist Terry Harper, 19, and percussionist Ross Smith, 18, are paying their dues in local clubs with covers of everything you ve heard on FM airwaves and a smattering of original songs written by lyricist Harper. All of the members collaborate on the new music with Harper providing the lead lines. Both Harper and Faucher agree they would like to include more original music in their sets but feel that will come with time and exposure. Established bands have followings, explains Smith, referring to the band s preponderance of Top 40 covers, new and old. Groups get stale real fast. We get together two or three times a week to practice and learn new music, says Faucher. This in itself supports the professional attitude Crosswind displays on stage. Each band member works or goes to school full ...

Few topics are more likely to cause argument among doctors than the influence of religion on healing, but a survey suggests most physicians bring their ideas about religion into their practice, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.
People have automatic associations with a myriad of targets, from political figures to ethnic minorities. Automatic associations may constitute implicit attitudes that are related to, but distinct from explicitly endorsed attitudes. They could also represent knowledge of cultural attitudes unrelated to personal feelings, judgments, and behaviors (the culture-as-contaminant interpretation). Finally, automatic associations could reflect knowledge of cultural attitudes that influences behaviors because individuals use others attitudes to guide their own actions (the culture-as-norms interpretation). This chapter finds that automatic associations exhibit relationships with feelings, judgments, and behaviors supportive of the implicit attitudes view and inconsistent with both versions of the cultural knowledge view. Environmental conditioning and the cultural victimization of the target do influence automatic associations. However, such effects are inconclusive because the implicit attitudes
Abstract Background: Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is one of the United Kingdoms most common life limiting genetic disorders. Improvement in treatment modalities over the last 20 years has resulted in this group of patients living longer. The acceptability of accessing early palliative care for patients with CF and staff perceptions of a palliative care referral for this group is relatively unexplored. Integrated care has been used as a theoretical model to underpin this study. Aim: To explore the experience and perceptions of patients with CF and staff regarding palliative care and the acceptability of this as a service early in the patients disease trajectory. Method: A Mixed Methods Study informed this research. This three phase study included a Focus Group (phase 1) with 8 experts from both CF and palliative care, a national survey (phase 2) with 46 experts from CF and palliative care teams, and 17 interviews (phase 3) with patients with CF and health care professionals who care for patients with ...
In a medical curriculum often a discrepancy exists between the preaching and practice of good clinical behaviour. For example, whereas training of communication skills is focused nowadays on patient-centredness, this is not always observed in clinical practice on a ward or in an outpatient clinic. Since students in their desire to become professionals are very sensitive to clinical experiences and examples, this discrepancy and inconsistency in the curriculum can have a detrimental impact on their attitudes and behavior. Role models are powerful in imparting professional values, attitudes, and behaviors in medical education. Positive role-models are a very powerful means of illustrating theoretical issues in clinical practice. However, role-models can also broadcast implicit values that interfere with the explicit values in the curriculum about professional behavior. Students, who are not always able to distinguish between positive and negative examples, can easily become receptive to negative ...

Background Research suggests there is a high prevalence of physical and mental ill health among individuals with intellectual disabilities and that staff working in mainstream healthcare services lack knowledge, skills and positive attitudes in supporting this client group. This review aimed to locate, extract themes from and evaluate the current literature that had assessed the training needs of mainstream health professionals within this area. Methods This review utilized a mixed-methods approach, with systematic elements used to locate and evaluate the literature (n = 13) and a narrative approach used to explore patterns and themes identified. The search was completed across four databases, using the search terms felt most likely to capture the relevant literature. Results Three main themes of perceived training need were identified across a range of professional groups: general communication, knowledge/information and profession-specific needs. Conclusions This review highlights the existing ...
We are inherently different people, seeing from different perspectives and facing different challenges. I hit my head on low ceilings, they get lost in crowds. I barely fit in an airplane seat, and they cant reach the top shelf. But all it takes to remove the I vs. They distinction is a bend of the knees. Now I look through their eyes and walk in their shoes. I know how it feels to lose myself in a crowd and to ask for help to reach my favorite crackers. In two words, I empathize.. And if a person practices medicine, her career depends on meaningful conversation. A primary care physicians first question might be: How do you feel?-a sentence brimming with subjectivity. She is vulnerable to receive any answer, whether it be my leg hurts or I feel depressed. As a health professional, she must then diagnose the problem and begin a conversation with her patient regarding treatment. Though, as Theodore Roosevelt said, No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care. ...

This paper explores the concept of comfort within conceptual frameworks that identify comfort as a key component. The paper focuses on two main issues: firstly, descriptions of comfort and how comfort is defined; secondly, the relationship between comfort and other core concepts and how it is similar to, or differs from these concepts. The descriptions of comfort identify the difficulty of defining comfort and note that historical interpretations of comfort have changed over time. Key authors provide different perspectives of comfort and hence a uniform definition is not evident. The degree to which patients perspectives are represented varies within the frameworks which suggests that further clarity is needed in this area. The relationship between comfort and other concepts considers the boundaries between comfort and two concepts: nursing as therapy and caring. Comfort tends to be seen as a minor aspect of these concepts focusing on relief of discomfort or actions that demonstrate caring. The paper

recording and cataloguing the evidence for systematic retrieval. Much of the credit for todays EBP techniques belongs to Archie Cochrane, an epidemiologist, author of the book, Effectiveness and Efficiency: Random Reflections on Health Services. Cochrane suggested that because resources would always be limited, they should be used to provide forms of health care which had been shown in properly designed evaluations to be effective. Cochrane maintained that the most reliable evidence was that which came from randomised controlled trials (RCTs). One of the main reasons that EBPs have been so successfully incorporated into treatment services is the vast amount of studies linking clients improved health outcomes and the general attitude that treatments should be based in scientific evidence (Institute of Medicine, 2001; Sackett & Haynes, 1995). It is now assumed that professionals must be well-informed and up-to-date with the newest knowledge in order to best serve their clients and remain ...
the effectiveness of CCOT.. The themes are elaborated in the following sections.. Staff Perception and Awareness of CCOT. The hospital setup has evolved in the recent past with theadvancement of science and technology. Better treatment remedies haveemerged that have resulted in better clinical outcome outcomes incritically ill patients, and the impact of the reduction ofreadmission for patients cleared from the ICU improves patient careoutcomes (Friedrich, 2015). Brown et.al (2012) conducted a research study to explore theknowledge and perceptions of the nurses towards the Rapid ResponseTeam. The study incorporated 63 nurses receiving responses from 57(90.4%). The sample size was above 30 which the least required numberis making the study reliable. Ethical approval was obtained from theResearch Committee and the nurses involvement in the study wasvoluntary. Data collection was through a questionnaire, and the datawas analyzed qualitatively according to the results obtained. Thedata collection ...

Although there has been growing interest in general practitioners participation in promoting health, little is known about the attitudes of their patients. Thus we sent a copy of a self administered questionnaire (the Health Survey Questionnaire) to 3452 patients aged 17-70 who were registered with two practices in north west London. Questions about attitudes to and perceptions of general practitioners interest in weight, smoking, drinking, and fitness problems were included. The patients were also asked whether they thought that they had a problem in any of these areas. The response rate was 72%. Of those who responded, the proportions who thought that their general practitioners should be interested ranged from 72% in the case of fitness to 83% for weight, but only 38% thought that general practitioners had in fact been interested in fitness and only 48% thought so about weight. Forty one per cent of the respondents thought that they had a fitness problem, 42% a weight problem, and 59% of ...
The law prescribes obligatory membership in the CMC for all physicians providing diagnostic and/or therapeutic treatment in Czech Republic.. The first President of CMC, MUDr. Miloš Štejfa, DrSc., was elected by the Constituent Assembly of CMC that was held on November 17-19, 1991. In November 1992, Doc. MUDr. Miroslav Svoboda, CSc. succeeded to the Presidency and in 1998 MUDr. David Rath. The incumbent President is MUDr. Milan Kubek, who was elected by the CMC Assembly in January 14, 2006.. CMC´s duties have to be viewed from two different perspectives. The public puts its faith in the Chamber to guarantee that doctors will use the highest medical standards and ethics in their dealings with patients. To the physicians, CMC plays the role of a democratic representative of the medical profession in their contact with society, government authorities and health administration bodies. Throught its power to award licences to doctors, the Chamber determines the conditions under which its members ...
