Ein zentraler Bestandteil vieler gesundheitsökonomischer Untersuchungen ist die Messung krankheitsbedingter Kosten. Für Methodik der Kostenmessung wurden verschiedene, unterschiedlich detaillierte Leitlinien formuliert, aber insbesondere hinsichtlich konkreten Bewertung konsumierten Ressourcen unbestimmt blieben. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird ein Vorschlag für Vereinheitlichung monetären von Gesundheitsleistungen im Follow-up-Zeitraum (nach zu evaluierenden Intervention) präsentiert....
Purpose: To investigate associations between maternal and paternal sport participation, children’s leisure-time physical activity, to explore differences by child gender. Method: The sample comprised 737 year five students (mean age: 11.0 ± 0.6 years, 52% male) recruited through the Fit for Pisa Project which was conducted in 2008 at 6 secondary schools Goettingen, Germany. Maternal participation were assessed reports of mothers’ fathers’ weekly sport. Children’s activity measured as...
Background: The German "Clean Hands Campaign" (an adaptation of the WHO Care is Safer Care" programme) to promote hand hygiene among hospital personnel at Hannover Medical School (MHH, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover), known as Aktion Saubere Hände (ASH), met with initial success.By 2013, however, compliance rates hygienic disinfection in hospital's ten intensive care units (ICUs) and two hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCTUs) had relapsed their levels (physicians: 48%; nurses:...
Professional hand hygiene compliance represents a multifaceted behaviour with various determinants. Thus, it has been proposed to apply psychological frameworks of change its promotion. However, randomized controlled trials such approaches, which also assess nosocomial infections (NIs), are rare. This study analyses data the PSYGIENE-trial (PSYchological optimized hyGIENE promotion), shown improvements in after interventions tailored based on Health Action Process Approach (HAPA), rates NIs...
Mit dem Wettbewerbsstärkungsgesetz von April 2007 kann das Institut für Qualität und Wirtschaftlichkeit im Gesundheitswesen (IQWiG) vom Gemeinsamen Bundesausschuss (G-BA) mit der Kosten-Nutzen-Bewertung Arzneimitteln beauftragt werden. Im Januar 2008 hat IQWiG in einem ersten Methodenvorschlag dargelegt, wie es die zukünftig durchzuführen gedenkt. In vorliegenden Stellungnahme AG Methoden gesundheitsökonomischen Evaluation (AG MEG) wird des kritisch bewertet Empfehlungen eine...
One barrier to hand hygiene compliance is overestimation of one's own performance. Overconfidence research shows that tends be higher for difficult tasks, which suggests the magnitude also depends on how it assessed. Thus, we tested hypothesis was stronger indications with low (i.e., high difficulty), and self-reported overall based a single item than "5 Moments Hand Hygiene" (WHO-5) items, since implies an aggregation across indications.
Entscheidend für die Wirksamkeit von Prävention ist Erreichbarkeit einer Zielgruppe. Das Wissen um Barrieren, wie z. B. sprachliche Verständnisschwierigkeiten oder eine geringe Akzeptanz der Anbieter, notwendig, angemessene Zugangswege zu definierten Zielgruppen auswählen können. Für Migranten existieren bislang nur wenig zielgruppenorientierte präventive Angebote. Der Ansatz muttersprachlicher Präventionsberater ein Versuch, über niedrigschwellige "Komm"- und "Zugeh"-Strukturen den Zugang...
Besides habituation, conscious decision-making remains important for healthcare workers’ hand hygiene compliance. This study compared 307 physicians and 348 nurses in intensive care at a German university medical centre regarding their belief that disinfection prevents pathogen transmission. Physicians perceived less risk reduction ( p < 0.001; variance explained: 4%), comparison outscored only by lower self-rated guideline knowledge (8%). In both groups, the transmission-preventive was...
Objectives: To decrease the rapid growth of SARS-CoV-2 in Germany, a stepped lockdown was conducted. Acceptance and compliance regarding entering exiting measures are key for their success. The aim present study to analyse population's preferences measures. Methods: evaluate population’s identify trade-offs between different exit strategies, discrete choice experiment conducted on 28–29 April (n = 1,020). Overall, six attributes 16 sets (fractional-factorial design) without an opt-out were...
Focus groups used for data collection in health research are increasingly conducted online. In two multi-center projects, we applied available methodological instructions synchronous online focus (SOFGs). We describe necessary changes and specifications regarding the planning (recruitment, technology, ethics, appointments) conduct (group composition, moderation, interaction, didactics) to enhance knowledge about of SOFGs.Recruiting proved be challenging necessitated direct analogue...
Abstract Background Depression is a disorder with high prevalence in primary health care and significant burden of illness. The delivery for depression, as well other chronic illnesses, has been criticized several reasons new strategies to address the needs these illnesses have advocated. Case management patient-centered approach which shown efficacy treatment depression highly organized Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) settings might also be effective other, less structured settings....
Abstract The Technological Change in Health Care Research Network collected unique patient‐level data on three procedures for treatment of heart attack patients (catheterization, coronary artery bypass grafts and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty) 17 countries over a 15‐year period to examine the impact economic institutional factors technology adoption. Specific are shown be important uptake these technologies. Health‐care systems characterized as public contract reimbursement have...

Often preventive measures are not accessed by the people who were intended to be reached. Programs for older adults may target men and women, adults, advanced old age groups and/or chronically ill patients with specific indications. The defined rarely participate in conception of programs or design information materials, although this would increase accessibility participation. In German "Reaching Elderly" study (2008–2011), an approach motivating a home visit (PHV) program was modified...
Abstract Background Deceased donor organs are scarce resources because of a large supply‐and‐demand mismatch. This scarcity leads to an ethical dilemma, forcing priority‐setting how these should be allocated and whom leave behind. Objective To explore public preferences for the allocation in regard aspects distributive justice. Methods Focus groups were facilitated between November December 2018 at Hannover Medical School. Participants recruited locally. Transcripts assessed with content...
