Heart failure (HF) patients with inadequate health literacy are at increased risk for poor self-care and negative outcomes such as hospital readmission. The purpose of the present study was to examine prevalence literacy, reliability Dutch HF Knowledge Scale (DHFKS) Self-care Failure Index (SCHFI), differences in knowledge, self-care, 30-day readmission rate by level among hospitalized HF. convenience sample included adults (n = 95) admitted a large, urban, teaching whose primary diagnosis...
The authors posit current guidelines and treatment for eating disorders (EDs) fail to adequately address, often perpetuate, weight stigma. social devaluation denigration of higher-weight individuals cuts across nearly every life domain is associated with negative physiological psychosocial outcomes, mirroring the harms attributed itself. Maintaining focus on in ED can intensify stigma among patients providers, leading increased internalization, shame, poorer health outcomes. Stigma has been...
The rate of medical cannabis use has increased in parallel with the number states legalizing its use. Parkinson's disease (PD) patients are particular concern due to their higher than general US population (25-40% PD patient users vs. ~18% population), as well susceptibility environmental contaminants cannabis, including pesticides, toxic elements, solvents, microbes, and mycotoxins. In order address complex nature this industry, we examined changes PD-related qualifying conditions U.S. from...
Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a common metabolic disorder in which only 25% of patients meet management targets. While the primary care setting positioned to provide lifestyle education, studies are lacking integrate behavior interventions this utilizing clinic staff. Thus, we evaluated 90‐day intervention for glycemia at family practice administered by medical assistants. Twenty with non‐insulin‐dependent T2D completed driven patient choices nutrition and physical activity. Medical...
Engagement in valued activities is an important outcome, particularly treatments that aim to enhance quality of life those with chronic conditions. The present study describes the initial evaluation Values Tracker (VT), a two-item measure values engagement, 302 treatment-seeking adults pain. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted examine utility VT statistical prediction pain-related functioning, after controlling for demographic variables, pain intensity, and distress. Across...
Given the prevalence and complexity of chronic pain, there is a need for measures disability that (a) provide comprehensive, useful clinical information with regard to patient functioning, (b) do so as briefly possible minimize respondent burden. The primary objective this study was reduce length well-known, highly detailed measure disability, 136-item Sickness Impact Profile (SIP), develop psychometrically sound short form use in pain (SIP Chronic Pain, SIP-CP).A 2-parameter logistic item...
Potent lifestyle interventions to increase moderate-to-vigorous physical activity are urgently needed for population-level chronic disease prevention. This trial tested the independent and joint effects of a mobile health system automating adaptive goal setting immediate financial reinforcement increasing daily walking among insufficiently active adults.
Interpretation of health-related quality life (QOL) outcomes requires improved methods to control for the effects multiple chronic conditions (MCC). This study systematically compared legacy and method aggregating MCC on accuracy predictions QOL outcomes.
It is important to identify aspects of analgesic use that are associated with harm in chronic pain. Historically, the focus has been patterns (eg, overuse). This study evaluated another aspect use-rather than evaluating how analgesics were being used, primary interest was why they used.In total, 334 using individuals pain responded a pool items assessing reasons for use. Measures intensity, distress, depression, and opioid alcohol misuse also completed.Exploratory factor analyses indicated 3...
Abstract Background Ecological models suggest that interventions targeting specific behaviors are most effective when supported by the environment. This study prospectively examined interactions between neighborhood walkability and an mHealth intervention in a large-scale, adequately powered trial to increase moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Methods Healthy, insufficiently active adults (N = 512) were recruited purposefully from census block groups ranked on (high/low)...
Delay discounting is the depreciation in a reward's perceived value as function of time until receipt. Monetary incentive programs that provide rewards contingent on meeting daily physical activity (PA) goals may change participants' delay preferences.
