Health systems worldwide struggle to manage the growing burden of type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Many patients receive suboptimal care, especially those most vulnerable. An evidence-based Integrated Care Package (ICP) with primary care-based diagnosis, treatment, education self-management support collaboration, leads better health outcomes, but there is little knowledge how scale-up. The Scale-up integrated care for hypertension project (SCUBY) aims address this problem by roadmaps...
<strong>Introduction:</strong> Research on models of integrated health care for hypertension and diabetes is one the priority issues in world. There a lack knowledge about how implemented practice. Our study assessed its implementation six areas: identification patients, treatment, education, self-management support, structured collaboration organisation care. <strong>Methods:</strong> This was mixed methods based triangulation method using quantitative qualitative data. It took place...
Although the concept of integrated care for non-communicable diseases was introduced at primary level to move from disease-centered patient-centered care, it has only been partially implemented in European countries. The aim this study identify and compare identified facilitators barriers scale-up between Slovenia Belgium.This a qualitative study. Fifteen focus groups fifty-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with stakeholders micro, meso macro levels. In addition, data two...
ABSTRACT Introduction Arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes are significant contributors to global non-communicable disease-related mortality. Integrated care, centred on person-centred principles, aims enhance healthcare quality access, especially for vulnerable populations. This study investigates integrated care these diseases in Slovenia, providing a comprehensive analysis of facilitators barriers influencing scalability. Methods Qualitative methods, including focus group discussions...
Integrated care involves good coordination, networking, and communication within health services externally between providers patients or informal caregivers. It affects the quality of services, is more cost-effective, contributes to greater satisfaction among individuals integrated care. In our study, we examined implementation understanding from perspective - team gained insights into current situation.Eight focus groups were conducted with teams, involving a total 48 professionals,...
Abstract Background Simulation is a technique used to create an experience without going through the real event. Competency-based medical education focuses on outcomes and ensures professionals have necessary knowledge, skills, attitudes. The purpose of this study was develop set competencies for instructors providing basic advanced levels simulation-based training in healthcare. Methods We conducted qualitative three steps, with each next step building influenced by previous one. First, we...
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases, such as arterial hypertension (HTN) and type-2 diabetes (T2D), pose a global public health problem. Integrated care with focus on person-centred principles aims to enhance healthcare quality access. Previous qualitative research has identified facilitators barriers for scaling-up integrated care, however the lack of standardized terms measures hinder cross-country comparisons. This paper addresses these gaps by presenting generic codebook...
Integrated care of chronic patients improves quality their management, but there is scarce evidence its implementation in different healthcare settings. With this article, we wanted to determine the level integrated management T2D (diabetes) and HT (hypertension) three settings: Belgium, Slovenia, Cambodia.
Integrated care interventions for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hypertension (HT) are effective, yet challenges exist with regard to their implementation scale-up. The 'SCale-Up diaBetes hYpertension care' (SCUBY) Project aims facilitate the scale-up of integrated T2D HT through co-creation contextualised roadmaps in Belgium, Cambodia Slovenia. We hereby describe plan process evaluation SCUBY Project. specific goals (1) analyse how, what extent, roadmap has been implemented, (2) assess how...
Pinacidil, a prevously studied potassium channel opener (PCO), is potent antihypertensive agent in animals and humans. Its mechanism of action not completly defined. The aim our study was to investigate the antivasoconstricting effect pinacidil on isolated RA whether this endothelium-dependent. Contractions rings with intact endothelium were provoked by electrical field stimulation (EFS, 20 Hz) or exogenously applied noradrenaline (NA, 10 μM). Pinacidil (10 nM-0.1 mM) produced...

Abstract Background Effective integrated care interventions for hypertension (HT) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) exist need to be scaled-up. The ‘SCale-Up diaBetes hYpertension care' SCUBY project aims facilitate scale-up of HT T2D through the implementation contextualised roadmaps in Cambodia, Slovenia Belgium co-creation policy dialogues. We herewith describe plan process evaluation project, including development, adoption roadmaps. specific goals are (i) analyse how reality adheres developed...
