Cancer clinical trials (CTs) reveal new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat patients with cancer, provide effective supportive interventions for their families. In addition, studies of treatment regimens can participants early access promising interventions. Although CTs the evidence base practice, less than 10% cancer participate in them (Al-Refaie et al., 2011; Institute Medicine, 2010; Murthy, Krumholz, & Gross, 2004; Unger 2013).
Pain accounts for up to 78% of emergency department (ED) patient visits and opioids remain a primary method treatment despite risks addiction adverse effects. While prior acupuncture studies are promising as an alternative opioid-sparing approach pain reduction, successful conduct multi-center pilot study is needed prepare future definitive randomized control trial (RCT).Acupuncture in the Emergency Department Management (ACUITY) funded by National Center Complementary Integrative Health....
Patients enrolled in Phase 1 clinical trials have typically exhausted standard therapies and often are choosing between a trial hospice care. Significant symptom burden can result early discontinuation confound outcomes. This study aimed to examine differences duration, burden, adverse events (AE), quality of life (QOL) those receiving structured palliative care versus usual supportive care.Sixty-eight patients phase 39 their CGs were randomly assigned receive or Patient QOL was measured...
Background Although there is a great deal of literature regarding effective recruitment and challenges recruiting specific patient populations, less known about best practices for nurses as study subjects. Objectives The purpose this article to report our experience with retention randomized trial an online educational program prepare oncology discuss clinical trials patients. Methods population included currently employed direct interaction. There were three phases study: (1) qualitative...
ObjectiveThere has been little to no qualitative research done with adolescents and young adults (AYA) type 2 diabetes (T2D) that can guide creation of interventions for this demographic. Using methods, a novel mind–body intervention called Intervention Early Onset Type Diabetes (INTEND) developed AYA aged 15 20 years, the goal improving self-management coping skills, by enhancing routine care augmented education coupled skills.MethodQualitative interviews years age T2D, their parents,...
Clinical trials are a critical source of evidence for oncology care, yet very few patients participate. Among healthcare providers, nurses spend the most time with cancer and highly trusted professionals. We developed evaluated an educational program targeting knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy perceived norms to facilitate discussion about clinical support patient decision making.A nationwide sample were randomly assigned receive general education delivered as text (attention control) vs....

Background: The use of electronic intake forms within the health record (EHR) is an emerging method for routinely collecting patient-reported outcomes (PRO). However, few studies have evaluated experiences/perspectives toward among outpatients receiving care Integrative Health and Medicine (IHM) clinics. study purpose was to understand patients’ perspectives PRO in outpatient IHM setting. Methods: Electronic (e.g., treatment expectations, medical history, chief complaints, prior experience...
6554 Background: Advances in oncological care and patient outcomes are commonly based on clinical trials, however only 3-7% of cancer patients participate. One major barrier to enrollment is the physician effort needed identify trials for which their eligible. As trial eligibility becomes more complex with cohorts defined by specific lines therapy or genetic data this grows. Health information technology presents an opportunity develop automated systems capable matching appropriate real time...
