Navigation needs in peritoneal surface malignancy as perceived by patients, caregivers and providers

BackgroundOncology navigation programs offer information and assistance to patients diagnosed with cancer and have evolved significantly along disease-specific care pathways. However, there is limited information on how to prioritize navigation services to meet the unique and complex needs of patients with peritoneal surface malignancies (PSMs). To define the navigation needs of PSM patients, we conducted a survey-based study to quantify the relative importance of various cancer-related stressors as perceived by patients, caregivers, and providers. MethodsA questionnaire was administered to PSM patients or caregivers and providers involved in the care of PSM patients, and the assessed measures of disease or treatment-related stress were compared among subgroups consisting of patients and caregivers vs. providers. ResultsOf the 72 PSM patients and caregivers surveyed, 93.1 % identified stressors related to receiving treatment to be somewhat or extremely challenging. Relative to patients/caregivers, providers tended to significantly over-prioritize the navigation domains of family care, transportation, long-distance travel, financial, insurance, work-related, and legal stress. Our survey data illustrates gaps between the experience of stressors among PSM patients/caregivers and the perceptions of providers. ConclusionsPSM programs should align resources with the navigation needs as experienced by patients and caregivers, while recognizing that providers tend to emphasize logistical considerations over cancer-related emotional distress. PSM-specific navigation pathways could improve the experience and satisfaction level of patients undergoing treatment for this complex condition. SynopsisThe authors report results of a survey provided to peritoneal surface malignancy patients, caregivers and providers. This analysis illustrates gaps between how patients and caregivers experience navigation needs and how providers perceive those needs.

Bridging the gap: national virtual education programme for professionals caring for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities at the time of COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the mental health of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). During this period of uncertainty and need for up-to-date information, various virtual training programmes demonstrated the role of tele-mentoring programmes. The aim of this paper is to describe the educational evaluation of the National Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes - Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (ECHO-AIDD), a programme for service providers working with adults with IDD during COVID-19. The programme consisted of six sessions, conducted weekly, over two cycles. Each session included didactic teaching by hub team members, COVID-19 news updates, wellness check-ins and a brief mindfulness activity, followed by a 30 to 45 min case-based discussion. The hub structure had an inter-professional approach to team expertise. Those with lived experience were an integral part of the content experts' hub. Pre-, post- and follow-up evaluation data were collected. Care providers from health and social care sectors (n = 230) participated in the programme. High levels of engagement and satisfaction were reported. Self-efficacy ratings improved from pre- to post-, and were maintained at 8-week follow-up; improvement from pre- to post- was significant (P < 0.0001). Exposure to National ECHO-AIDD educational intervention led to improvement in perceived competencies. This study also shows the valuable role of people with lived experience in fostering adaptive expertise in learners. The outreach and scalability support the feasibility of building a national virtual community of practice for IDD service providers. Future studies should focus on studying the impact of these programmes on the health outcomes of people with IDD.

Development of finger movement assistive gloves with pneumatic fabric actuators

We developed flexible, lightweight, and washable gloves with actuators to assist finger movements and improve ease of wearing. Performance and wearability were measured using standardized tests, triangulation of bending angles, electromyography (EMG), and grip strength. User satisfaction was measured using a survey. EMG sensors were attached to the flexor digitorum superficialis and extensor digitorum communis to capture movement data for grasping and releasing, lifting and putting down, and opening and closing an object with (a) gloves and an actuator, (b) gloves and no actuator, and (c) no gloves. The actuator-equipped glove weighed 31.4 g—lighter than in any earlier studies. In situation (a), the average EMG values for the four participants decreased, ranging from −2.06% to −44.1%, confirming the superior performance of the gloves. Survey results revealed high levels of user satisfaction. Our study offers insights into the development of rehabilitation robotic gloves that assist muscle movements and are easy to wear.

Sustainable crude oil desulfurization: A multi-objective fuzzy optimization for pollution prevention

The ultrasonic-assisted oxidative desulfurization (UAOD) process is employed to mitigate the environmental impact of sulfur emissions. Previous studies have focused on evaluating the efficiency of crude oil UAOD. This research assesses the desulfurization efficiency encompassing irradiation time, ultrasonic power, and oxidant amount, as well as the corresponding operational expenses, to ascertain the optimal conditions. The research employed a multi-objective fuzzy optimization (MOFO) method to assess the operational expenses of crude oil UAOD. It established the upper and lower limits and subsequently optimized the operational costs and desulfurization efficiency while accounting for uncertainties. The fuzzy model optimized the level of satisfaction on a scale from 0 (unsatisfied) to 1 (satisfied) using the max-min aggregation. The degree of satisfaction slightly decreased to 55.49 %, achieved under optimal conditions of 739.70 W ultrasonic power, 6.70 min irradiation, and 8.47 mL oxidant. This configuration yielded a desulfurization efficiency (YA) of 63.24 % at 2.02 USD/L. Compared to existing literature, the desulfurization of crude oil was found to be less efficient and less expensive. The outcomes presented by MOFO showcase economic feasibility with reduced overall operating expenses and simplified process conditions and provide valuable insights for optimizing potential large-scale UAOD processes.

Effects of telephone nursing education and counselling on discharge satisfaction level and self-care strength of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of nursing education and counselling provided by telephone to individuals undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery on their discharge satisfaction levels and self-care power levels. The study was conducted using a randomized controlled experimental research model with a pre-test-post-test control group (30 individuals in the experiment group and 30 individuals in the control group). Routine nursing care was applied to the patients in the control group throughout their attendance, and no training or intervention was made after discharge. By contrast, in addition to routine nursing care, the for 4 weeks in the experimental group received nursing education and counselling services by phone in the post-discharge period. A 'Personal Information Form,' 'Discharge Training Satisfaction Scale,' and 'Self-Care Strength Scale,' which were prepared by the researchers and included the personal information of the patients, were used to collect the data. The difference between the pre-test self-care power scale and discharge education satisfaction scale sub-dimensions of the groups and the mean score of the total score was not statistically significant. The post-test self-care power scale and discharge education satisfaction scale sub-dimensions and total score averages of the patients in the experimental group were higher than in the control group, and the difference between them was statistically significant (P <0.05). The nursing education and counselling services given to the patients on the phone increased their self-care skill levels and discharge satisfaction levels.

The effect of the case-based learning approach on the level of satisfactions and learning of nursing students in Iran: A randomized controlled trial

IntroductionNurses must have sufficient knowledge and skills in the field of medications and medication management. This study was designed to investigate the effect of the case-based learning (CBL) approach on the level of satisfaction and learning of nursing students. Materials and methodsThis study was conducted using a randomized controlled trial on 70 Iranian third-semester nursing students during a pharmacology internship in 2023. After considering the inclusion criteria, the samples were entered into the study by census method and then they were placed in either the control (35 people) or intervention (35 people) groups by simple random method. Pharmacology training was done in the control group by the usual method (lectures by the instructor and conferences with students) and in the intervention group by the Kaddoura case-based learning method. Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire, satisfaction of educational approach questionnaire, and exam scores before and after the internship. SPSS version 26 software was used for statistical analysis. ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference (P = 0.88) in the mean scores of the pharmacology pre-test in the control (10.54 ± 2.74) and intervention groups (10.6 ± 3.49) before the intervention. Also, there was no statistically significant difference (P = 0.19) between the pharmacology post-test scores in the control (17.7 ± 1.15) and intervention groups (18.07 ± 0.91). A comparison of pre-test and post-test scores in both control and intervention groups showed that the post-test scores in both groups increased significantly (P < 0.001). The results showed that the intervention group was significantly (P = 0.008) more satisfied with the learning method. ConclusionThe case-based educational approach resulted in improved satisfaction among students in the pharmacology course. It is recommended to incorporate this learning method alongside traditional teaching methods, in nursing education, particularly in pharmacology instruction.

Investigating the Preference on Public Transport in a Metropolitan Area of Lampung Province, Indonesia

Metropolitan areas grow and develop as the region's population grows and travels to meet needs such as education, work, family matters, and business. Kotabumi and Bandar Lampung are two of the regions that have grown faster in recent years as a result of the construction of the trans-Sumatera toll road, while railway has been operating for more than two decades. The main objective of this works is to explore preference towards public transport with service quality attributes. The minibus mode or "travel" in Indonesia is defined as transportation services that pick up passengers. This study surveyed 384 commuters who used three modes of transportation: rail, bus, and minibus with relatively different service characteristics and trip purposes of school/college (35%), leisure (28%), family affairs (19%), work (14%), and business (4%) and represented predominantly an age range of 17 to 55 years (97%). The rail mode's utility value was 4.383, while the bus and minibus modes' utility values were 3.751 and 3.737, respectively. Because utility value reflects the level of user satisfaction with the overall attributes and service quality, the rail mode has a much higher probability of being chosen by respondents, with a probability level of 48.65%, compared to the bus and minibus modes, which have a probability level of 25.86% and 25.49%, respectively.

Unveiling the Elephant in the Room: How do Psychologists Perceive Individuals Convicted of Sexual Offenses?

The societal reintegration of individuals with criminal records, particularly involving sexual offenses, faces challenges due to moral condemnation. Professionals' perspectives are pivotal in facilitating this reintegration process. This study surveyed 314 psychologists via a web-based experiment to assess their judgments regarding allegations of sexual violence and perpetrator's denial. Psychologists with experience in working with individuals convicted of sexual offenses showed a decreased propensity to grant prison benefits upon the progressive disclosure of the sexual offense, which diminished further in the presence of denial. For psychologists lacking such professional experience, judgment worsened solely with the discovery of the sexual offense, but not with denial. Psychologists not experienced in working with individuals with sexual convictions were generally found to have higher levels of malignant satisfaction than their experienced counterparts. Additionally, experienced psychologists exhibited a greater willingness to manage forensic cases and endorsed the effectiveness of treatment, while non-experts displayed less confidence in treatment efficacy, hesitancy in working with such individuals, and a propensity to delegate the case. Availability to handle the case diminished as more information surfaced for both groups. These findings highlight differences in professionals' attitudes based on experience and suggest implications for understanding punitive attitudes towards individuals with sexual convictions.

A Review of Current Data on Duration of Effect in Glabellar Lines After Treatment With AbobotulinumtoxinA 50 U.

AbobotulinumtoxinA has become well established as a treatment option for moderate to severe glabellar lines since its first aesthetic approval in 2009. Pivotal trials leading to regulatory approval showed that abobotulinumtoxinA treatment was associated with high responder rates when defined as achievement of none or mild glabellar lines (0 or 1 on the glabellar line severity scale) and a duration of action of up to 5 months. More recently, the goals for treatment of glabellar lines have shifted toward not only achieving a decrease in glabellar line severity but also ensuring that patients are satisfied with their experience. Patients seek an improvement in the appearance of their glabellar lines while maintaining a "natural look," fast onset of effect, and long duration of response. Trial designs have evolved to meet these new targets, including expanding the definition of responders to those having at least 1-grade improvement in the glabellar line severity scale score from baseline coupled with the use of subject satisfaction and psychological well-being questionnaires. The findings demonstrate that abobotulinumtoxinA remains a well-tolerated and consistently effective treatment option associated with a rapid onset of effect, duration of efficacy lasting up to 6 months, and high, long-lasting levels of patient satisfaction.

Cognitive-behavioral treatment for insomnia and mindfulness-based stress reduction in nurses with insomnia: a non-inferiority internet delivered randomized controlled trial.

Insomnia is a highly prevalent sleep disorder frequently comorbid with mental health conditions in nurses. Despite the effectiveness of evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), there is a critical need for alternative approaches. This study investigated whether internet-delivered mindfulness-based stress reduction (IMBSR) for insomnia could be an alternative to internet-delivered CBT-I (ICBT-I). The hypothesis was that the IMBSR would be noninferior to the ICBT-I in reducing the severity of insomnia among nurses with insomnia. Additionally, it was expected that ICBT-I would produce a greater reduction in the severity of insomnia and depression than IMBSR. Among 240 screened nurses, 134 with insomnia were randomly allocated (IMBSR, n =67; ICBT-I, n = 67). The assessment protocol comprised clinical interviews and self-reported outcome measures, including the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the 15-item Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), and the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-I). The retention rate was 55% with 77.6% (n=104) of participants completing the study. At post-intervention, the noninferiority analysis of the ISI score showed that the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval was 4.88 (P=0.46), surpassing the pre-specified noninferiority margin of 4 points. Analysis of covariance revealed that the ICBT-I group had significantly lower ISI (Cohen's d = 1.37) and PHQ-9 (Cohen's d = 0.71) scores than did the IMBSR group. In contrast, the IMBSR group showed a statistically significant increase in the FFMQ-15 score (Cohen's d = 0.67). Within-group differences showed that both the IMBSR and ICBT-I were effective at reducing insomnia severity and depression severity and improving mindfulness. Overall, nurses demonstrated high levels of satisfaction and adherence to both interventions. The IMBSR significantly reduced insomnia severity and depression, but the findings of this study do not provide strong evidence that the IMBSR is at least as effective as the ICBT-I in reducing insomnia symptoms among nurses with insomnia. The ICBT-I was found to be significantly superior to the IMBSR in reducing insomnia severity, making it a recommended treatment option for nurses with insomnia.

Information needs persist after genetic counseling and testing for BRCA1/2 and Lynch Syndrome.

Research has shown that cancer genetic risk is often not well understood by patients undergoing genetic testing and counseling. We describe the barriers to understanding genetic risk and the needs of high-risk persons and cancer survivors who have undergone genetic testing. Using data from an internet survey of adults living in the USA who responded 'yes' to having ever had a genetic test to determine cancer risk (N = 696), we conducted bivariate analyses and multivariable logistic regression models to evaluate associations between demographic, clinical, and communication-related variables by our key outcome of having vs. not having enough information about genetics and cancer to speak with family. Percentages for yes and no responses to queries about unmet informational needs were calculated. Patient satisfaction with counseling and percentage disclosure of genetic risk status to family were also calculated. We found that a lack of resources provided by provider to inform family members and a lack of materials provided along with genetic test results were strongly associated with not having enough information about genetics and cancer (OR 4.54 95% CI 2.40-8.59 and OR 2.19 95% CI 1.16-4.14 respectively). Among participants undergoing genetic counseling, almost half reported needing more information on what genetic risk means for them and their family and how genetic testing results might impact future screening. High levels of satisfaction with genetic counseling may not give a full picture of the patient-provider interaction and may miss potential unmet needs of the patient. Accessible resources and ongoing opportunities for updating family history information could reinforce knowledge about genetic risk.

Occupational stress, burnout, and job satisfaction amongst Spanish speech-language pathologists

Purpose The current research aimed to determine the prevalence and the relationships between perceived stress, burnout, and job satisfaction among practicing speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in Spain. In addition, their perspectives and experiences related to their job were explored. Method A mixed methods research design was used with cross-sectional quantitative and qualitative methodology. Four hundred and thirty-eight SLPs completed the Perceived Stress Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the Font Roja Job Satisfaction Questionnaire in order to report perceived stress, burnout, and job satisfaction, respectively. Ten SLPs participated in semi-structured interviews. Result With respect to stress, 61.6% of SLPs reported a moderate level of stress and 18.7% reported a high level of stress. With respect to burnout, only 7.56% of the participants met the criteria commonly used for its diagnosis. However, 45.2% of SLPs reported a high level of emotional exhaustion, and 52.7% expressed a low degree of personal accomplishment. Job satisfaction was average for 94% of SLPs and high for just 1% of participants. The level of job satisfaction was significantly related to job stress, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalisation. Qualitative content analyses produced themes and subthemes regarding work recognition, relationships with people in the workplace, work conditions, and job control. Conclusion A noteworthy percentage of SLPs reported emotional exhaustion and reduced personal achievement. Findings suggest that strengthening job control and social support might become protective factors to avoid the full development of burnout, which should impact positively on an individual’s wellbeing and, in turn, the quality of the services provided.

High-intensity interval training with functional electrical stimulation cycling for incomplete spinal cord injury patients: A pilot feasibility study.

Consequences of spinal cord injury (SCI) with a sedentary lifestyle will progress to muscle weakness and muscle atrophy, leading to muscle fatigue. This study aimed to determine the feasibility and preliminary effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) using functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling on changes in thigh muscle volume and muscle strength, in patients with incomplete SCI. Eight incomplete SCI patients (mean age 50 years; 6 women) with stable SCI paraplegia (mean 6.75 years since injury) participated in the HIIT FES cycling (85%-90% peak Watts; 4 × 4-min intervals) three times a week (over 6 weeks). The main outcomes were adherence, participant acceptability, and adverse events. Secondary outcomes were muscle strength (peak torque) and leg volume changes. Our findings revealed that the program was well-received by participants, with high levels of adherence, positive feedback, and satisfaction, suggesting that it could be a promising option for individuals seeking to enhance their lower body strength and muscle mass. Additionally, all participants successfully completed the training without any serious adverse events, indicating that the program is safe for use. Finally, we found that the 6-week HIIT FES leg cycling exercise program resulted in notable improvements in isometric peak torque of the quadriceps (range 13.9%-25.6%), hamstring muscle (18.2%-23.3%), and leg volume (1.7%-18.2%). This study highlights HIIT FES leg cycling exercise program potential as an effective intervention for improving lower limb muscle function.
