Purpose Although patient-reported cancer symptoms and quality-of-life issues (SQLIs) have been promoted as essential to a comprehensive assessment, efficient efficacious methods not widely tested in clinical settings. The purpose of this trial was determine the effect Electronic Self-Report Assessment–Cancer (ESRA-C) on likelihood SQLIs discussed between clinicians patients with ambulatory clinic visits. Secondary objectives included comparison visit duration groups usefulness ESRA-C...
The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the effect a Web-based, self-report assessment and educational intervention on symptom distress during cancer therapy.A total 752 ambulatory adult participants were randomly assigned symptom/quality-of-life (SxQOL) screening at four time points (control) versus screening, targeted education, communication coaching, opportunity track/graph SxQOL over (intervention). A summary participant-reported data delivered clinicians each point in both groups....
Objective: To determine the feasibility and efficacy of a six-month, cell phone-based exercise persistence intervention for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) following rehabilitation. Methods: Participants who completed two-week run-in were randomly assigned to either MOBILE-Coached (n = 9) or MOBILE-Self-Monitored 8). All participants met nurse develop an individualized plan, issued pedometer booklet, instructed continue log their daily symptoms. also received...
Background: People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) continue to experience dyspnea activities of daily living (ADL) despite optimal medical management. Information and communication technologies may facilitate collaborative symptom management could potentially increase the reach such interventions those who are unable attend face-to-face rehabilitation or self-management programs.
Abstract Objective : To (1) evaluate the feasibility of touch screen depression screening in cancer patients using Patient Health Questionnaire‐9 (PHQ‐9), (2) construct validity PHQ‐9 modality, and (3) examine prevalence severity this modality. Methods The was placed a web‐based survey within study clinical impact computerized symptom quality life screening. Patients medical oncology, radiation hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) clinics used program on computer waiting rooms...
The electronic self report assessment - cancer (ESRA-C), has been shown to reduce symptom distress during therapy purpose of this analysis was evaluate aspects how the ESRA-C intervention may have resulted in lower (SD). Patients at two centers were randomized only (control) or Web-based delivered patients' homes a tablet clinic. allowed patients self-monitor and quality life (SxQOL) between visits, receive self-care education coaching SxQOL clinicians. Summaries assessments clinicians both...
We evaluated the efficacy of web based P3P (Personal Patient Profile-Prostate) decision aid vs usual care with regard to decisional conflict in men localized prostate cancer.A randomized (1:1), controlled, parallel group, nonblinded trial was performed 4 regions United States. Eligible had clinically cancer and an upcoming consultation, they spoke read English or Spanish. Participants answered questionnaires report making stage, personal characteristics, concerns preferences plus baseline...
Background: Given that no other disease with the high incidence of localized prostate cancer (LPC) has so many treatments few certainties related to outcomes, men are faced assuming some responsibility for treatment decision along guidance from clinicians. Men strongly consider their own personal characteristics and factors as important influential decision. Clinical researchers have not developed or comprehensively investigated interventions facilitate insight prioritizing medical required...
Eliciting symptom and quality of life information from patients is an important component medical nursing care processes. Traditionally, this has been collected with paper pencil. However, approach presents several barriers, including delays in receiving information, difficulty integrating responses electronic records, the time required to manually score questionnaires for measurement purposes. One solution that addresses many these barriers adoption computerized screening quality-of-life...
The Internet is increasingly used as a medium for gathering and exchanging health information exchange. Healthcare professionals organizations need to consider barriers that may exist within their patient-oriented Web applications. One approach making the more accessible those with lower literacy be supplement textual content audio annotation using text-to-speech engines, allowing creation of virtual surrogate reader. challenge numerous engines on market, objective measures quality are...
Previous research has shown that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) desire conversations about end-of-life wishes. However, most clinicians do not initiate these discussions. We explored whether educating via Web conferencing (webinar) would equip them knowledge and skills to engage in care.Prewebinar, 6 of the 7 had completed advanced care planning forms but only half shared their clinicians. Most felt confident discussing preferences. At 3 months, all participants...
Background: Pictographs (or pictograms) have been widely utilized to convey medication related messages and address nonadherence among patients with low health literacy. Yet, do not always interpret the intended on commonly used pictographs correctly there are questions how they may be delivered mobile devices.Objective: Our objectives refine a set of use as reminders establish preliminary steps for delivery via smart phones.Methods: Card sorting was identify existing that focus group...
The use of information and communication technologies to support collaborative management chronic obstructive pulmonary disease associated symptoms is particularly appealing since most people with continue experience dyspnea despite optimal medical therapy therefore must engage in the long-term tasks self-management. Exercise an effective reduce patients disease. purpose this article was describe our process developing a set integrated tools symptom exercise monitoring for This could be...
A user-centered, Web-based depressive symptoms management system might be particularly useful in Korea, where those who seek mental health care face stigmatizing and personal computers the Internet have reached saturation levels. The purpose of this article is to describe development process a for symptom through user-centered design principles. Our included four distinct phases: needs assessment, analysis, design/development/testing, application release. final revised website was released...
The Personal Patient Profile-Prostate (P3P) is a web-based decision support system for men newly diagnosed with localized prostate cancer that has demonstrated efficacy in reducing decisional conflict. Our objective was to estimate willingness-to-pay (WTP) men's preparation activities. In multicenter, randomized trial of P3P, usual care group participants received typical making plus referral publicly-available, educational websites. Intervention the same, online P3P media specific user's...
