Most adults undergoing cardiac surgery suffer from moderate to severe pain for up 6 days after surgery. Individual barriers and attitudes regarding its relief make patients reluctant report their ask analgesic medication, which results in inadequate management. More innovative educational interventions postoperative are needed. We developed a Web-based nursing intervention influence patient's involvement The (SOULAGE-TAVIE) includes preoperative 30-minute session 2 brief face-to-face booster...
To evaluate the effectiveness of hand massage on pain and anxiety cardiac surgery critically ill. A three-arm randomized controlled trial. This study was conducted in a medical-surgical intensive care unit Canada. Adult patients who underwent elective surgery, were able to speak French/English self-report symptoms, without high risk postoperative complications eligible. Patients randomly allocated standard plus either two 20-minute massages (experimental), holdings (active control), or rest...
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of pain in older adults. Previous studies indicated clinic-based transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was effective to reduce various populations, but no published have reported the efficacy home-based self-administered tDCS adults with knee OA using randomized clinical study.

Mindfulness interventions can improve a broad range of patient outcomes, but traditional mindfulness-based are time and resource intensive. Emerging evidence indicates brief, single-session mindfulness also brief be embedded into medical care pathways with minimal disruption. However, the direct impact intervention on patients' pain while waiting in clinic room remains unexamined.
Although transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is emerging as a convenient pain relief modality for several chronic conditions, its feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy on in patients with Alzheimer’s disease related dementias (ADRD) have not been investigated. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the 5, 20-min home-based tDCS sessions older adults ADRD. We randomly assigned 40 participants active (n = 20) or sham tDCS. Clinical intensity assessed using...
This article is the report of development and validation a tailored Web-based intervention for postoperative pain self-management in adults who underwent cardiac surgery. The SOULAGE-TAVIE included four main phases: (1) identification clinical problem, (2) outline design, (3) operationalization, (4) production. intervention's feasibility acceptability was made through pilot testing with 30 patients expecting surgery over 4 months 2010. consists 30-minute computer-tailored preoperative...
Knowledge translation has been defined as the synthesis, dissemination, exchange and ethically sound application of knowledge to improve health, resulting in a stronger health‐care system. Using KT activities aid adoption evidence into practice can address current challenges such increasing organizational standards, alleviating risk for adverse events meeting practitioner needs at bedside. Two general forms have identified. These being integrated end‐of‐grant KT. Integrated involves users...
Approximately two thirds of adults undergoing cardiac surgery suffer from moderate to severe postoperative pain. Assisting patients with pain management is therefore critical prevent its negative consequences. Information technologies have become part our lifestyle and can facilitate the implementation interventions manage in a busy care setting. A computer-tailored Web-based intervention-referred as SOUtien à L'AutoGEstion-Traitement-Assistance Virtuelle Infirmière-Enseignement...
Cardiac surgeries rank among the most frequent surgical procedures and present a risk of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP). A continuum approach is required to prevent development CPSP. As first step, tailored web-based intervention was developed successfully tested tackle management during hospitalization. Before proceeding further development, preliminary acceptability including postdischarge phase must be evaluated.The purpose this study examine nurses' perception Web-based for in early...
Abstract Objective 1) To assess the feasibility of research methods to test a self-management intervention aimed at preventing acute chronic pain transition in patients with major lower extremity trauma (iPACT-E-Trauma) and 2) evaluate its potential effects three six months postinjury. Design A pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) two parallel groups. Setting supraregional level 1 center. Methods Fifty-six adult were randomized. Participants received or an educational pamphlet. Several...
SignificanceKnee osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that causes chronic pain in the elderly population. Currently, OA mainly treated pharmacologically with analgesics, although research has shown neuromodulation via transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may be beneficial reducing clinical settings. However, no studies have reported effects of home-based self-administered tDCS on functional brain networks older adults knee OA.AimWe used near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate...
This review will aim to synthesize the available quantitative and qualitative evidence on educational needs preferences of adult patients with acute or chronic pain.Acute pain are prevalent problems associated significant individual societal consequences. Education is a critical component management. However, impact interventions outcomes remains limited. The lack patient input--what want know how they be informed--is one main issues underlying intervention design.We include qualitative,...
