Douze, S. Pelayo","doi":"10.5750/EJPCH.V7I4.1776","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5750/EJPCH.V7I4.1776","url":null,"abstract":"Aim: To provide a person-centered set of recommendations that will help (i) healthcare professionals to implement the medication review process at hospital and (ii) tactical stakeholders to promote medication reviews as standard practice in clinical pharmacy. Background: Although the medication review process is highly relevant for the safety of individual patients and for economic purposes, it appears to be complex to implement and then maintain over time in hospital settings. The stakeholders who implement the medication review process may feel disempowered and often request guidance on how to overcome these problems. Method: We first drew up the most comprehensive possible list of barriers and facilitators (i.e., factors that respectively hinder or help the medication review process at hospitals) by searching the PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct databases for case studies describing the implementation of medication reconciliation and medication review processes in hospital settings. Text extracts mentioning facilitators and barriers were divided into thematic units, analysed and classified hierarchically. Based on this list of influencing factors, we developed a series of person-centered recommendations. Results: The analysis of 38 publications led to the identification of 617 factors (346 facilitators and 271 barriers) divided into 9 categories and 67 subcategories. Next, we developed a set of 71 specific recommendations for operational stakeholders on designing, implementing and performing the MRev process at hospital. The recommendations are divided into 6 main categories: Designing the process , Participants , Training , Tools , Information and Organization . We also elaborated a set of 20 key recommendations for local and national decision-makers on sustaining the implementation of the MRev process at hospital. Conclusion: We identified a large number of factors that may impact the implementation of the MRev process at hospital and which therefore have the potential to impact upon person-centeredness. Based on this list, we provide a set of recommendations for operational and tactical stakeholders on supporting the local implementation and nationwide expansion of the MRev process.","PeriodicalId":72966,"journal":{"name":"European journal for person centered healthcare","volume":"210 1","pages":"547-575"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74151406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Infographics that contrast two hypothetical drugs, Drug A (low benefit/low risk) and Drug B (high benefit/high risk), were developed based on the input of the clinicians and patients. We adopted a crowdsourcing approach to test the association of a stakeholder-informed infographic, versus text-based educational information, with audience understanding of the risks and benefits of therapeutic options and with decision-making concerning a particular therapeutic option. Results: The low benefit/low risk drug was consistently preferred over high benefit/high risk. The importance that people placed on potential benefits was consistently associated with medication choice. Perceived importance of medication harms was associated with medication choice only among low-risk patients. Information display (textual versus infographic) and user literacy were not associated with medication choice. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that patient-centered infographics can be developed using participatory design to support patient decision-making process. The potential benefits of a drug was the most consistent predictor of medication choice in the study. Practice Implications: Participatory design and crowdsourcing demonstrates promise to facilitate the participatory design of educational materials necessary for shared-decision making.","PeriodicalId":72966,"journal":{"name":"European journal for person centered healthcare","volume":"34 1","pages":"630-639"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78354613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are therefore particularly well-placed to provide ongoing social and emotional support to students. Nevertheless, most school personnel are not trained to recognize and respond to mental health problems. Methods: In order to better understand the needs and challenges around student mental health and improve school mental health interventions and resources, we used quantitative and qualitative survey items to compare the perspectives of both school staff and students. To obtain personnel feedback, a 14-item online survey was distributed at the primary and secondary school levels. To obtain student feedback, 7 survey items were added to an existing school-based program survey that was distributed at participating high schools. Results: Out of 32 schools surveyed, 254 personnel responded, including 60 high school personnel. In addition, 756 students responded from 10 high schools. Though there is agreement between personnel and students on the need to address student mental health issues, there is an apparent disconnect between reports on what is being done and what needs to go into supporting student mental health. Conclusion: Along with teachers and other school personnel, students should be part of the needs assessment and priority setting processes around school mental health. Strategies to improve student mental health programs and practices are addressed.","PeriodicalId":72966,"journal":{"name":"European journal for person centered healthcare","volume":"9 1","pages":"640-649"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87157138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this evidence has rarely been implemented and public knowledge of empathy and placebos is limited. Objectives: We conducted a trial (‘OPTICARE’) in a real-life setting. The trial and its aftermath were filmed for a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Horizon documentary. Methods: Eligible participants aged 18-75 years with self-reported persistent back pain (>3 months) were randomised to: (1) Control group (SC): had a standard consultation and a leaflet describing NHS recommendations for back pain. (2) Standard placebo group (SP): received a three-week course of placebo pills (2 capsules, twice a day) and a standard (5-10 minute) general practice (GP) consultation. (3) Empathy and placebo group (EP): received the same as SP treatment as the standard placebo group and a longer (15-30 minute) consultation with a doctor prompted to be highly empathetic. Self-reported changes in pain after 3 weeks were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale and the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire. The process was filmed by Windfall Films. Results: The documentary, entitled ‘The Placebo Experiment: Can My Brain Cure My Body?’ was first broadcast on BBC Two in the UK on 4 October 2018. It was watched by 1.9 million people. Almost all of the 117 participants in the trial reported a reduction in pain and magnitude of placebo effects is similar in real world settings as it is in clinical trials. Conclusions: This was the largest placebo study we are aware of that was conducted with a main purpose of educating the public about placebo effects and the first known published report of a study designed for a documentary. Although the trial suffered from a number of limitations, including contamination and lack of power, it is contended that randomised trials of placebo treatments can be conducted so that they benefit and educate the public.","PeriodicalId":72966,"journal":{"name":"European journal for person centered healthcare","volume":"65 1","pages":"650-655"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88318985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We developed an intervention to improve mental health among HIV-infected individuals. The aim was to improve each person’s balance in life, making each person conscious about their own behavior and activating their own resources. The participant worked with their individual process within the group and practised techniques to address fear/stress management. Mental health improved overall and there was a significant decrease in depression. The effect was maintained at 12-months.This study aimed to gain insight into factors that mediated the effects observed. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with each participant at the end of the intervention. Digital audio-recordings of the 48 interviews were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: The following themes were identified as facilitators: Context, Participant, Coach, Intervention approach and Sense of Community . Three themes explained the experienced effect: Transformation, Internalized Stigma Changes and Integrity. We observed that fear no longer controlled the lives of the participants, as the individuals acquired new skills to handle disclosure and internalized stigma. Living with HIV became an integrated part of their life. Conclusion: Interventions designed to practise and strengthen patients’ insight into the mental and physical contexts of their condition reduces depression, improves mental health and quality of life and should be offered in conjunction with HIV medication and be a fully integrated aspect of HIV care. Thus, treatment calls for a holistic and person-centered approach to patient care, acknowledging that viral suppression is not necessarily the ultimate goal of effective treatment.","PeriodicalId":72966,"journal":{"name":"European journal for person centered healthcare","volume":"40 1","pages":"614-622"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81388284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For each person, the challenges are multiple and unique to that individual. In recognition of this, health policy places greater emphasis on the delivery of person-centred care (PCC). However, patients report declining levels of such care. One reason for this may be a mismatch between patient and professional/policy understanding of PCC. \u0000Aim \u0000To understand PCC from the perspectives of people with long-term conditions. \u0000Methods \u0000A systematic review of qualitative literature was conducted. Databases searched included ASSIA, BNI, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and grey literature databases. Two reviewers independently screened and selected the studies, assessed their quality, and extracted data. Fifty-four records were analysed through meta-ethnography. \u0000Results \u0000Four themes emerged: the healthcare system as a battlefield, the healthcare system as a maze, patients’ accounts of personhood, and the centrality of patient enablement. A person-centred healthcare system is described by this review as one that values personhood and enables patients to build knowledge with their clinician in order to manage their illness in a safe, caring, and accessible environment. \u0000Conclusion \u0000PCC does not depend on the efforts of the clinician alone, but results from a collaboration with the patient and needs to be enabled by the wider organisational and educational systems. Efforts directed at the implementation of PCC might be bound to fail if the healthcare policy agenda does not address the role of the patient’s personhood in clinical practice, and its integration in educational settings.","PeriodicalId":72966,"journal":{"name":"European journal for person centered healthcare","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76373084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Malterud’s principles of systematic text condensation were used to analyse the data. Results: Patients had a positive attitude towards home-based prehabilitation, primarily because of the opportunity to influence recovery, but also because it could distract their attention from negative thoughts and because they could gain support. However, they would not follow the programme unconditionally and significant barriers to adherence were identified. These included lack of belief, everyday life, preferences and restrictions . Conclusion: Patients’ perspectives on home-based prehabilitation contribute new knowledge concerning barriers to adherence to a programme. The findings underscore the complexity of developing a home-based, multimodal prehabilitation programme that not only enhances functional capacity, but is also experienced relevant to the patients and aligns with the demands of their everyday lives.","PeriodicalId":72966,"journal":{"name":"European journal for person centered healthcare","volume":"73 1","pages":"443-453"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89449721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the agreement that patient participation may improve the quality and utility of CPGs, there is no systematic, scalable method for engaging patients and their representatives, as well as no consensus on what exactly patients and their representatives should be asked to do during CPG development. To address these gaps, an interdisciplinary team of researchers, patient representatives, and clinicians developed the RAND/PPMD Patient-Centeredness Method (RPM) - a novel online approach to engaging patients and their representatives in CPG development. The RPM is an iterative approach that allows patients and their representatives to provide input by (1) generating ideas; (2) rating draft recommendations on two criteria (importance and acceptability); (3) explaining and discussing their ratings with other participants using online, asynchronous, anonymous, moderated discussion boards, and (4) revising their responses if needed. The RPM was designed to be consistent with the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method used by clinicians and researchers to develop CPG, while helping patients and their representative rate outcome importance and recommendation acceptability - two key components of the GRADE Evidence to Decision (EtD) framework. With slight modifications, the RPM has the potential to explore consensus among key stakeholders on other dimensions of the EtD, including feasibility, equity, and resource use.","PeriodicalId":72966,"journal":{"name":"European journal for person centered healthcare","volume":"64 1","pages":"470-475"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90593657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
