• Thank you to All Who Attended RSN's 2023 Hope Week, 30th Annual Patient Education Meeting. (rsnhope.org)
  • In June 2019, CDC and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) co-hosted the third meeting of the Making Dialysis Safer for Patients Coalition in Atlanta. (cdc.gov)
  • Interventions focused on patient education, skill-building, and self-management have been shown to be effective in combatting racial disparities in hypertension control. (cdc.gov)
  • Health care reimbursement and quality reporting systems should take steps to better encourage and support effective patient education interventions. (cdc.gov)
  • These disparities provide cause to focus interventions on improving patient education, skill-building, and self-management among minority populations, particularly Black populations. (cdc.gov)
  • The implementation of effective interventions to preserve the caregiver's wellbeing and allow the patients to remain at home and be properly assisted is a pragmatic consequence of this knowledge. (nih.gov)
  • I hope that all meeting participants came away with a renewed focus on the Coalition's main goal: promoting the use of CDC's core interventions and resources to prevent bloodstream infections in patients on dialysis. (cdc.gov)
  • Coalition members and partners incorporate these goals into their everyday activities by providing educational resources to patients and staff and integrating CDC core interventions and recommendations into their organizations' policies, practices, and evaluations. (cdc.gov)
  • Objectives: 1) to identify the evidence for self-management support needs of patients with IA, and 2) to identify the content (theory/theoretical approach, mode of delivery, duration and frequency) of self-management interventions that target patients with IA. (lu.se)
  • Results: Out of 11,748 records identified, we included 31 articles describing patients' support needs and 33 articles describing the content of self-management interventions. (lu.se)
  • Only a few self-management interventions focused on patients' need for support in relation to work, and to family and friends. (lu.se)
  • Conclusion: HPs provided self-management support to patients with IA in various ways, but there were gaps between the patients' support needs and the identified interventions. (lu.se)
  • Future studies should seek to investigate various modes of delivery, frequency and duration, to develop effective interventions that meet patients' support needs. (lu.se)
