In Brief Objective: To evaluate the effect of a prophylactic gastrojejunostomy on development gastric outlet obstruction and quality life in patients with unresectable periampullary cancer found during explorative laparotomy. Summary Background Data: Several studies, including one randomized trial, propagate to perform routinely be Others suggest an increase postoperative complications. Controversy still exists general surgical practice if double bypass should performed these patients....
<h3>OBJECTIVE</h3> To assess fatigue in relation to depression, blood pressure, and plasma catecholamines patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS), comparison healthy controls rheumatoid arthritis. <h3>METHODS</h3> For the assessment of Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) was used, a 20 item questionnaire, covering following dimensions: general fatigue, physical mental reduced motivation, activity. Furthermore, Zung depression scale used quantify aspects depression. Forty nine...
Monitoring and blunting styles have become relevant concepts regarding their potential impact on patients' doctors' behaviors. The present study aimed at investigating the relation between cancer coping doctor-patient communication global affect. Coping were assessed by means of Threatening Medical Situations Inventory (TMSI). Since a shortened version TMSI was used, validity this instrument also evaluated. First, it examined whether two factor structure original could be confirmed in our...
Abstract Background and Objectives Newly diagnosed cancer patients waiting for initial surgery experience a stressful time. Study objectives were (1) to examine the quality of life (QL) these by comparing QL (a) between four diagnostic groups included in this study, (b) general population, (2) determine factors that contribute most patients' overall QL. Methods One hundred ninety six with lung, periampullary, oesophageal cervical completed questionnaires on generic (SF‐36), QL, cancer‐site...
After esophagectomy for cancer, the first choice reconstruction of gastrointestinal continuity is by gastric tube. When this not feasible, a colon interposition can be performed. The aim study was to assess quality life in patients at least 6 months after esophageal cancer resection and without signs recurrent disease. results were compared with previously published data tube reconstruction.Between January 1993 2002, 36 underwent interposition. A one-time Quality Life assessment carried out...
Abstract Background General Practitioners (GPs) and Practice Nurses (PNs) collaboratively play an important role in preventing monitoring chronic diseases. They are trained Motivational Interviewing (MI), which is a communication style to intrinsically motivate patients healthier lifestyle. However, being MI skills does not necessarily mean that it implemented daily practice so actually benefit. The aim of this study identify factors facilitate or impede the implementation Practice. Methods...
Abstract Objective This study aims to explain bodily pain using the Sprangers and Schwartz theoretical model (1999) on quality of life (QL) response shift in its entirety. Response refers phenomenon that meaning a person's self‐evaluation changes over time. In this model, mediates effects health status ( catalysts ), stable characteristics person antecedents coping mechanisms ) QL . Methods Cancer patients (202) were assessed prior 3 months following surgery. Measures for : type operation...
Adopting an attributional perspective, the current article investigates how audit and feedback group sessions contribute to general practitioners' (GPs) motivation change their practice behaviour improve care. We focus on contributions of itself (content) discussion (process).Four groups, comprising a total 39 participating Dutch GPs, discussed compared practices. The groups were analysed thematically.Audit contributed GPs' in two ways: by raising awareness about aspects care providing...
Objectives Trust plays an important role in workplace-based postgraduate medical education programmes. Trainers must trust their trainees for granting them greater independence. Trainees trainer a safe learning environment. As trainers’ and trainees’ each other trainee development, the authors aimed to explore development of mutual relationship between trainers trainees. Setting This study was performed general practice training department Netherlands. Participants All were invited...
The aim of this study was to examine changes in the quality life adult patients with anorectal malformations or Hirschsprung's disease over a three-year interval and identify demographic, clinical, psychosocial variables that explain possible quality-of-life changes. Understanding factors affect time is particularly important provide adequate care.Questionnaires were administered 261 (77 percent), interval. Background characteristics, including demographic clinical variables, (i.e.,...
To develop an analysis scheme capturing the cognitive processes underlying QoL assessment to increase our understanding on how interpret responses items. Tourangeau et al.'s (The psychology of survey response, 2000) and Rapkin Schwartz' (Health Qual Life Outcomes 2:14, 2004) process models form basis for this scheme. We conducted think aloud interviews with six cancer patients prior following radiotherapy elicit 7 EORTC QLQ-C30 Content was carried out by two four researchers independently....
This study addresses the relationship between impulsivity and lack of inhibition. Inhibition was measured both by interference score negative priming effect in a Stroop colour‐word paradigm. The this paradigm is defined slower naming target colour if distractor immediately preceding trial. For study, total 210 school children were selected. These rated high or low their teachers for either social cognitive impulsivity. A reduced showed up with type but not impulsive children. No differences...
This study investigated, among medical specialists ( N = 2,400), the association between perceived inequity in relationships at work (patients, colleagues, organization) and burnout, moderating role of communal orientation. Intrapersonal inequity, involving an internal standard reference, interpersonal taking colleagues as were assessed. The adjusted response rate was 63%. affected all burnout dimensions: emotional exhaustion work, depersonalization relationship with patients, reduced...
Background During specialty training for general practice, trainees acquire the required competencies through work-based learning. Previous small-scale and older studies suggest that patient mix of practitioner (GP) differs from their trainers: are exposed to more minor illnesses, fewer chronic diseases severe conditions, which may influence development competency. Research question What differences in between trainers? Methods 49 first- 24 third-year trainers (n=114) were included study....
The thentest design aims to detect and control for recalibration response shift. This assumes (1) more consistency in the content of cognitive processes underlying patients’ quality life (QoL) between posttest assessments than pretest assessments; (2) time frame description functioning referenced at thentest. Our objective is utilize interviewing qualitatively examine both assumptions. We conducted think-aloud interviews with 24 patients cancer prior after radiotherapy elicit their...
