The predictive value of illness beliefs, treatment beliefs, and ful...
The Association of Care Satisfaction and COVID-19 Contact Restrictions with Quality of Life in Long-term Care Homes Residents in Germany: a Cross-sectional Study
Abstract: Background Quality of life (QoL) is a widely recognised outcome in residents of long-term care homes. However, little is known about the impact of care satisfaction on QoL. The aim of this study was to assess the association between care satisfaction and QoL in residents of long-term care homes. Additionally, we were able to assess the impact of the Covid-19 contact restrictions on QoL. Methods We applied a cross-sectional study in N = 40 long-term care homes in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. Using regression models, we analysed the association between QoL (operationalised through the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment--Old Module [WHOQOL-OLD]) and self-rated nursin...
Predictors of Adherence to Cancer-related Mhealth Apps in Cancer Patients Undergoing Oncological Or Follow-up Treatment - a Scoping Review
Abstract: mHealth interventions in cancer care are being increasingly applied in various settings. Nevertheless, there is a phenomenon wherein individuals show different usage patterns, which could affect the effectiveness of the intervention. In general, it is important to know the predictors of app adherence and usage patterns to improve the design and content (i.e., tailoring). The aim of this scoping review was to provide an overview of predictors of adherence to cancer-related mHealth apps in cancer patients. A systematic literature search was conducted in March 2021 in the electronic databases PubMed, CINAHL, and PsychINFO without limitation in year, focusing on cancer patients undergo...
Cost-benefit Analysis of the CoCare Intervention to Improve Medical Care in Long-term Care Nursing Homes: an Analysis Based on Claims Data
Abstract: Background Providing adequate medical care to nursing home residents is challenging. Transfers to emergency departments are frequent, although often avoidable. We conducted the complex CoCare intervention with the aim to optimize nursing staff-physician collaboration to reduce avoidable hospital admissions and ambulance transportations, thereby reducing costs. Methods This prospective, non-randomized study, based on German insurance data, includes residents in nursing homes. Health care cost from a payer perspective and cost-savings of such a complex intervention were investigated. The utilisation of services after implementation of the intervention was compared with services in pr...
Exploring Communication Preferences of Trans and Gender Diverse Individuals - a Qualitative Study
Abstract: Background Trans and gender-diverse individuals experience adverse health outcomes that might be due, in addition to other factors, to stigma and discrimination in the health care sector. At the same time, the concept of person-centred care acknowledges the role of patient-physician communication in health care outcomes. This study aims to explore patient-physician communication preferences in trans and gender-diverse individuals. Method A qualitative interview study was conducted, including N = 10 participants between February and March 2022. Participants were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guideline, based on previous knowledge in person-centred care and sample spe...
Meta-Analysis for Explanation
Social science research often yields conflicting results: Does juvenile delinquent rehabilitation work? Is teenage pregnancy prevention effective? In an effort to improve the value of research for shaping social policy, social scientists are increasingly employing a powerful technique called meta-analysis. By systematically pulling together findings of a particular research problem, meta-analysis allows researchers to synthesize the results of multiple studies and detect statistically significant patterns among them. Meta-Analysis for Explanation brings exemplary illustrations of research synthesis together with expert discussion of the use of meta-analytic techniques. The emphasis throughou...
Meta-Analysis
"There are few areas of modern life that are burdened by as much information and advice, often contradictory, as our diet and health: eat a lot of meat, eat no meat; whole-grains are healthy, whole-grains are a disaster; eat everything in moderation; eat only certain foods--and on and on. In One Hundred Million Years of Food biological anthropologist Stephen Le explains how cuisines of different cultures are a result of centuries of evolution, finely tuned to our biology and surroundings. Today many cultures have strayed from their ancestral diets, relying instead on mass-produced food often made with chemicals that may be contributing to a rise in so-called "Western diseases, " such as canc...
