Abstract Rationale, aims & objective Tools for the assessment of quality research studies tend to be specific a particular design (e.g. randomized controlled trials, or qualitative interviews). This makes it difficult assess body that addresses same similar question but using different approaches. The aim this paper is describe development and preliminary evaluation tool can applied methodologically diverse set articles. Methods 16‐item (QATSDD) was assessed determine its reliability...
Abstract Background In the context of volume mixed- and multi-methods studies in health services research, present study sought to develop an appraisal tool determine methodological reporting quality such when included systematic reviews. Evaluative evidence regarding design use our existing Quality Assessment Tool for Studies with Diverse Designs (QATSDD) was synthesised enhance refine it application across research. Methods Secondary data were collected through a literature review all...
To evaluate smartphone apps intended for self-management of pain using quality assessment criteria and usability testing with prospective users.1) Survey content analysis available apps; 2) individual study two apps.University Leeds, United Kingdom.Forty-one participants (aged 19-59 years) experience chronic or recurrent episodes.We undertook a survey, analysis, appraisal all currently mobile phone pain. Two were then selected assessed testing.Twelve met the inclusion criteria. The revealed...
ABSTRACT Two experiments tested whether a general relative preference for objects with rounded rather than angular form ( B ar & N eta, 2006, 2007) can be applied in the context of design consumer products. Images product packaging—a chocolate E xperiment 1) and water bleach bottles 2)—were manipulated regard to shape both contour graphics. There was designs that extended self‐report purchase likelihood—with additive effects graphics could not accounted by typicality or perceived ease use.
This article describes a longitudinal study of how openness to change, job satisfaction, anxiety and depression are affected by exposure change situation ‐ in this case, the implementation new technology work practices. Measures were taken before was fully implemented again several months later. Employees fell into two groups: those with high low exposure. Longitudinal analysis revealed that greater directly related subsequent improvements for operational employees, but not managers...
Making a medical error can have serious implications for clinician well-being, affecting the quality and safety of patient care. Despite an advancing literature base, cross-country exploration this experience is limited, paucity studies has examined coping strategies used by clinicians. A greater understanding clinicians' responses to making error, factors that may influence these, various are all essential providing effective support ensuring optimal outcomes.The objectives were therefore...
Previous research has shown that the degree to which individuals base their intentions on particular underlying cognitions (i.e., motives) significantly moderates intention-behavior relationship. Studies have individually examined moderating effect of based overall attitude, affective attitudes, injunctive norms, and moral norms. The present used a within-persons approach simultaneously test effects instrumental anticipated reactions, descriptive norms relationship impact controlling for...
Robotic surgery offers many potential benefits for patients. While an increasing number of healthcare providers are purchasing surgical robots, there reports that the technology is failing to be introduced into routine practice. Additionally, in robotic surgery, surgeon physically separated from patient and rest team, with negatively impact teamwork operating theatre. The aim this study ascertain: how under what circumstances effectively practice; impacts teamwork, communication decision...
Poor medicines management places patients at risk, particularly during care transitions. For with heart failure (HF), optimal is crucial to control symptoms and prevent hospital readmission. This study explored the concept of resilience using HF as an example condition understand how system compensates for known unknown weaknesses.We a mixed-methods approach in four healthcare economies north England. Data from site observations, staff patient interviews, documentary analysis were collected...
Background Electronic personal health records (ePHRs) are secure Web-based tools that enable individuals to access, manage, and share their medical records. England recently introduced a nationwide ePHR called Patient Online. As with ePHRs in other countries, adoption rates of Online remain low. Understanding factors affecting patients’ use is important increase improve the implementation success ePHRs. Objective This study aimed examine associated England. Methods The unified theory...
Abstract Three experiments examine the effect of different forms computer‐generated advice on concurrent and subsequent performance individuals controlling a simulated intensive‐care task. Experiment 1 investigates optional compulsory shows that both result in an improvement subjects' while receiving advice, also unaided performance. However, although compliance displayed by group strong correlation with performance, has no extra benefit over use advice. 2 examines providing users on‐line...
Objectives The primary aim of this article was to identify the latent failures that are perceived underpin medication errors. Study Setting study conducted within three medical wards in a hospital United Kingdom. Design employed cross‐sectional qualitative design. Data Collection Methods Interviews were with 12 nurses and eight managers. transcribed subject thematic content analysis. A two‐step inter‐rater comparison tested reliability themes. Principal Findings Ten identified based on...
Background The implementation of robot-assisted surgery (RAS) can be challenging, with reports surgical robots being underused. This raises questions about differences compared open and laparoscopic how best to integrate RAS into practice. Objectives To (1) contribute reporting the ROLARR (RObotic versus LAparoscopic Resection for Rectal cancer) trial, by investigating variations in context impact outcomes; (2) produce guidance on factors likely facilitate successful implementation; (3)...
Online communities hold great potential as interventions for health, particularly the management of chronic illness. The social support that online can provide has been associated with positive treatment outcomes, including medication adherence. There are few studies have attempted to assess whether membership an community improves health outcomes using rigorous designs.Our objective was conduct a proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial intervention improving adherence asthma...
