Home-based and hospital-based pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD-does the location influence completion rates?

Purpose: Hospital-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is effective for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, completion rates remain a challenge in the UK and internationally. The Self-management Programme of Activity, Coping and Education (SPACE for COPD) is a home-based alternative (available in web and booklet forms) that may address some barriers to completing conventional PR. This project aimed to assess the completion rates of patients attending a home or hospital-based programme and to describe the characteristics of those not able to complete a programme.

Design of Augmented Reality Training Content for Railway Vehicle Maintenance Focusing on the Axle-Mounted Disc Brake System

Light maintenance training for electric multiple-unit components of the organization of railway operations is generally conducted using maintenance manuals and work videos, following the guidelines of each organization. These manuals are in the form of booklets, complicated and inconvenient for maintenance operators to carry. Therefore, training content that visualizes maintenance procedures in a three-dimensions (3D) space is necessary to overcome the drawbacks of booklet-type training. In this study, we developed augmented reality (AR)-based training content for railway vehicle maintenance to increase training efficiency. Providing warning signs for risky procedures reduces human error, and transparency control makes trainees check the product hierarchy. A virtual experience based on the maintenance manual is provided to improve maintenance proficiency. An axle-mounted disc brake system maintenance manual is implemented in AR to reflect the requirements of maintenance operators. The convenience of this tool is improved by loading the AR content on a mobile device. Two methods of verification were used: the system usability scale (SUS) survey and training efficiency evaluation. The resulting SUS grade was B (excellent), and the training efficiency improved by 34%.

Developing Communication Book for Schizophrenia in Aceh: Prospects and Challenges


 
 
 he lack of media information about Schizophrenia in Aceh explains caregivers’ limited understanding of mental disorders. Research on patient discharge systems found that communication media about Schizophrenia were still limited, mostly in the form of posters, flyers, or booklets. There was no specific information about the mental illness needed by the family or caregivers after the patient's discharged from the hospital. This study aims to develop and test a communication medium that can support the recovery process of post-discharge patients from the Mental Health Hospital or Rumah Sakit Jiwa (RSJ) in Aceh. This action research was carried out through focus group discussions (FGDs), interviews, and surveys to health practitioners (mental health nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, community leaders) and family or caregivers of Patients with Schizophrenia (PWS). The study found that messages about Schizophrenia which are developed through a community-based approach are likely to be better accepted than the expert-led information.
 
 

Printed Self-Learning Module Distribution and Completion Preferences of Grade 7-12 Students of Tagugpo National High School in Davao Oriental, Philippines: A Conjoint Analysis

This study was conducted to determine the printed self-learning module distribution and completion preferences of the students of Tagugpo National High School, Tagugpo, Lupon, Davao Oriental, Philippines. It is descriptive survey research wherein one-hundred eighty-four randomly selected student respondents are shown various choices or hypothetical profiles and asked to evaluate these profiles based on their preferences. To determine the overall preference of these students for printed self-learning module distribution and completion, conjoint analysis was done. The analysis revealed that students from Tagugpo National High School expressed a preference for the modules to be printed in booklet form, distributed within their respective barangays on Mondays, and collected at the conclusion of each quarter. They also preferred to be given only four subjects per week with a t wo-hour duration each and accomplish only the activities found in the modules with no summative tests. This study recommends that students may be given three options on how they want their modules to be distributed and accomplished. It also suggests that further study on self-learning module preferences may be done on a wider scale, including assessment revision and a link between module preferences and student learning outcomes and dropout intentions.

L’ordre ancien des Octoginta Homiliae du Pseudo-Fulgence d’après les catalogues de Lorsch (II)

The first part (I) focused on the structure and order of the collection Octoginta homiliae of the Pseudo-Fulgentius: we have shown in particular the anteriority of the order of Lorsch. In this second part, we provide a table with correspondences between L, M and R, then offer a brief commentary of individual items, with a particular attention to their transmission. The article ends with a few hypotheses on the origin and history of the collection, based on the order of L: the collection is an heterogeneous compilation despite strong African elements (in particular Augustinian), and the fact that several items are not attested elsewhere. It has been assembled on the basis of a dossier probably transmitted in the form of booklets, still detectable in L, where it is possible to identify short series following a liturgical order. A compiler has exploited this material to put together a collection of eighty sermons, with the aim of aiding preaching. By the ninth century at the latest, the collection was reorganised to create a liturgical homiliary, and is attested in this form by M and R. It was later used by a series of homiliaries from northern France and Belgium, where items are again generally attributed to Fulgentius.

ETHICAL STANDARDS IN THE PROMOTION OF MEDICATIONS: ASSESSMENT OF THE STATE AND PROSPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT

The purpose of this research is to analyze the content of printed advertising materials for compliance with ethical principles and standards for the promotion of medicinal products (MP). Materials and methods. The object of the research was the promotion of medications using printed advertisements about medications. Considered 200 samples of printed materials in the form of leaflets, booklets and leaflets received by health professionals from medical representatives in pharmacies and clinics in Voronezh..Structural and content analysis, comparative, mathematical and statistical analysis, as well as methods of generalization and systematization were used. Results. It was found that the ethical principles and norms of drug promotion when using printed advertising materials are performed in fragments - only 2 printed materials (1% of the study population) met all eleven WHO criteria, and 26 samples met 10 ethical criteria (13%) and 104 (52%) met 50% of the criteria. According to the criterion “Names of excipients that can cause unwanted reactions”, the greatest discrepancy was found, only 14% of the samples provided the necessary information. Conclusion. Printed advertising materials about medicinal products, as the most common method of promoting medicinal products, contain incomplete or unbalanced data on medicinal products in terms of compliance with the ethical principles of promoting medicinal products as the basis for their rational use. This can contribute to a decrease in the effectiveness of the drug, as a result, an increase in the financial and time costs of treatment, as well as the occurrence of unwanted side reactions. A promising direction for solving this problem is the development of special requirements for the structure and content of printed advertising materials about drugs based on instructions for the use of drugs and ethical criteria for promoting recommended by WHO and the AIMP Code of Good Practice.

ObjectiveTo assess the core knowledge of health indicators, federal health programs, and public health functions in practicing clinicians along with perceptions of their education and engagement with public health. Patients and MethodsA paper survey in booklet form was administered to attendees at 2 general medical conferences in May 2019. The survey was divided into 5 sections: knowledge of health systems and policy, knowledge of public health concepts and function, public health engagement, public health education, and demographics. ResultsOne hundred two surveys were received from 402 attendees (response rate, 24.3%). Most were male (56%), older than 50 years (51%), and physicians (86%). Respondents had a fairly good knowledge of federal health programs (77%) and public health functions (84%), but less than half had a personal interaction with public health in the past 2 years (45%) or were aware of how to work with public health organizations in their community (46%). Only a few respondents rated their public health training as good or excellent during their primary degree (7%) or graduate medical education (15%), and most (75%) were interested in learning more about public health and health policy. ConclusionRespondents had generally good foundational knowledge of federal health programs and public health functions, although some gaps were identified. Inclusion of health policy and public health topics in continuing medical education would be well received by clinicians. To improve collaboration between public health and medicine, public health should personally engage clinicians more and explain how they can work together to improve population health.

Effects of comprehensive dietary advice on the physical and mental health of patients with ulcerative colitis during the remission phase: a parallel randomized controlled clinical trial

ABSTRACT The impact of food on physical and mental co-complications of ulcerative colitis (UC) has not been clearly defined. The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of a dietary modification program (DMP) on fatigue, mental health, quality of life, fasting blood glucose, and lipid profile of UC patients during the remission phase. To conduct this parallel, randomized controlled trial study, 80 UC patients were recruited and allocated randomly to an intervention or a control group. Participants were provided dietary guidelines in the form of an educational booklet and a dedicated diet that was recommended for use for 12 weeks. The DMP consisted of recommendations that participants eat often and little (4–6 times per day), consume foods at a balanced temperature, decrease consumption of spicy foods, decrease excess intake of fat, decrease simple carbohydrates and drink adequate fluids. Moreover, increase good-quality protein and eliminate dairy products in the presence of lactose intolerance. Furthermore, it included avoidance of margarine, limiting alcohol, caffeine, and commercially prepared foods such as fast foods, ready meals, and canned foods. Baseline and post-intervention measurements of primary and secondary outcomes were recorded for final analysis. Overall, 76 patients completed the study. The participants in the DMP group consumed higher amounts of protein, zinc, vitamin C, and D and lower amounts of dietary energy, carbohydrate, saturated fat, sodium, and lactose compared to the control group (all P values <.05). Recommendations to follow the DMP resulted in a significant improvement of fatigue and mental health (depression, anxiety, and stress) in the intervention group compared with usual recommendations and a significant increase in some aspects of quality of life, including bodily pain and general health (all P values <.05). No significant changes were found in fasting blood glucose and lipid profile (all P values >.05). The study suggests that there is likely to be a link between the provided dietary advice with physical and mental improvements. The effect of diet does not arise through the elimination or the addition of specific nutrients; rather, each food syndicate many nutrients that let for a synergistic or an antagonistic action when present in a certain composition.

Feasibility of a Preventive Intervention for Insomnia in Women with Breast Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy

ABSTRACT Objective/Background: Breast cancer patients display high rates of insomnia and chemotherapy treatments appear to contribute significantly to the development of sleep disturbances among this population. The efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is now well established for treating insomnia comorbid with cancer but is not widely accessible and is also fairly costly. Its capacity to prevent the onset of insomnia symptoms in cancer patients who are at a high risk of developing these difficulties remains to be demonstrated. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of a brief self-administered preventive intervention of insomnia in breast cancer patients about to undergo chemotherapy. Participants/Methods: A sample of 20 women with breast cancer and with no insomnia were recruited and received the preventive intervention, taking the form of a short booklet, at their first chemotherapy treatment. One month later, a semi-structured phone interview was conducted to assess their satisfaction with different aspects of the booklet (e.g., format, content) and their adherence to the proposed strategies and to collect qualitative information. A 3-month follow-up evaluation was also conducted. Results: Patients reported a higher level of satisfaction than expected (mean score corresponding to “a lot” on the scale) and a moderate level of adherence falling only slightly under the hypothesized level. The open comments collected corroborated the good acceptability of this minimal preventive CBT-I in breast cancer patients initiating chemotherapy. Conclusions: Overall, findings of this study confirm that a self-administered preventive intervention for insomnia is feasible and a promising approach in breast cancer patients about to initiate chemotherapy.
