The social determinants of health (SDOH) have been recognized as an important contributor to individual's status. A valid and reliable instrument is needed for researchers clinicians measure SDOH. However, there considerable variability in the screening methodologies, well a lack standardization definitions methods capturing reporting SDOH data both electronic record software vendors national experts on Protocol Responding Assessing Patient Assets, Risks, Experiences (PRAPARE) commonly used...

Abstract Aims The association of delay in seeking medical care to subsequent cardiac events remains unknown patients with worsening heart failure (HF) symptoms. aims this study were (i) identify factors predicting care-seeking and (ii) examine the impact on rehospitalization or death. Methods results We studied 153 hospitalized an exacerbation HF. Potential predictors including demographic, clinical, psychosocial, cognitive, behavioural variables collected. Patients followed for 3 months...

Black patients with heart failure (HF) report worse quality of life (QoL) than White patients. Few investigators have examined mediators the association between race and QoL, but depressive symptoms sleep are associated QoL.

Abstract Background Family caregivers are at higher risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) than non‐caregivers. This is worse those who live in rural compared to urban areas. Health activation, an indicator of engagement self‐care, predictive health outcomes and CVD several populations. However, it not known whether activation associated with patients chronic illnesses nor clear sex moderates any association. Objectives Our aims were determine (1) independently predicts 10‐year...

Abstract Background Cognitive impairment and limited health literacy are prevalent among patients with heart failure, particularly those residing in rural areas, linked to poor outcomes. Little is known about the intricate relationships cognitive function, literacy, rehospitalization death failure. Objectives To determine cardiac event‐free survival (ie, failure hospitalizations mortality) Methods This was a secondary data analysis of randomized controlled trial 573 function measured using...

Background Whether symptom clusters predict in-hospital death and subsequent rehospitalization or is unknown in patients with heart failure (HF) Taiwan. Our aims were to (1) identify HF hospitalized for an acute exacerbation of HF, (2) determine whether these predicted death, (3) all-cause during a 5-year follow-up period. Methods We used the electronic medical record database from Chang Gung Memorial Hospitals included 8161 admitted hospitals exacerbations between 2008 2013 followed cardiac...

The paper designs a CMOS Li-ion battery charger that uses multi-mode low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator associated with current sense circuit to supply trickle current, large constant and voltage. whole circuits have been approved by HSPICE TSMC 0.35/spl mu/m 2P4M process. simulation results provide the of 150mA, maximum charging 312mA 4.2V at input 4.5V. power efficiency 72.3% is acceptable under 1.28 W.

Knowledge management is an important element for success in the modern organization. Much current research has focused on implementation of IT infrastructures creating effective knowledge system. However, literature suggested a number other factors which must be considered. This study proposes model that views application and worker learning motivation as critical promote sourcing activities, activities then stimulate outcomes acquisition application. Sample data collected from high-tech...

Background Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is poor in patients with heart failure. Psychological (ie, depressive symptoms [DS], anxiety, and perceived control) physical functional status) factors are associated HRQoL. The dynamic relationships among these variables their impact on HRQoL remain unclear, limiting the ability to design effective interventions. Purpose Our aim was evaluate a moderated mediation model, which association between control hypothesized be mediated by DS...

Abstract Background Older adults experiencing homelessness (OAEH) age quickly and die earlier than their housed counterparts. Illness-related decisions are best guided by patients’ values, but healthcare service providers need support in facilitating these discussions. The Serious Illness Conversation Guide (SICG) is a communication tool to guide discussions has not yet been adapted for OAEH. Methods We aimed adapt the SICG use with OAEH nurses, social workers, other providers. conducted...

Symptom status is an important indicator of disease progression in patients with heart failure (HF). Perceived control a target most self-care interventions and associated better outcomes HF; however, little known about the relationship between perceived symptom HF.The aims this study were to (1) determine HF (2) examine associations status.A total 115 included. Data on (Memorial Assessment Scale-HF), (Control Attitudes Scale-Revised), (Self-Care Heart Failure Index) collected. Other...

Background The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) is used clinically and in research to measure an individual’s knowledge, skills, confidence related their health management engagement. Despite the use of “patient” title, instrument can be nonpatient populations. A group at high risk for low activation concerning own family caregivers patients with chronic illnesses. psychometric properties PAM have not been established caregivers. Objectives This study aimed examine 10-item version (PAM-10) a...

Clinicians and researchers often assume that symptom burden is associated with self-care management (SCM) in patients heart failure (HF). However, association not borne out simple regression analyses may be because another variable mediates the association. Fatalism an appropriate candidate for mediation belief circumstances are predetermined without opportunity control by individuals.

The impact of depressive symptoms and anxiety on rural patients' decisions to seek care for worsening heart failure (HF) remains unknown. purposes this study were (1) describe reasons delay in seeking HF, (2) determine whether or was associated with medical symptoms.A total 611 HF patients included. Data patient (The Reasons Delay Questionnaire), (PHQ-9), (BSI-ANX) collected. Statistical analyses included chi-square multiple regression.A 85.4% reported at least 1 reason delay. Patients...

Background Prevention of heart failure (HF) exacerbations requires that patients carefully self-manage their condition. Symptom perception is a key component in self-care for with HF involves monitoring symptoms and recognizing symptom changes. Heart knowledge prerequisite better management. However, the relationships among knowledge, perception, management remain unclear. Objective The aim this study was to explore inter-relationships monitoring, recognition, response HF. Method We included...

The study investigates the effect of length meditation history on various factors, namely learning motivation, outcome and classroom climate. Data were collected from working adult learners (n = 450) attending classes in two large cities Taiwan. investigation categorized based experience, <1 year, 1–3 years, 4–6 7–10 years >10 years. investigated how experience affects their perception climate, using one‐way ANOVA post‐hoc analysis. Results showed a non‐linear ordered response—longer does...

Background Family caregivers are at a high risk for low quality of life due to caregiving-related stress. Caregivers' stress is commonly assessed using self-reported measures, which reflect relatively subjective and long-term related caregiving, but objective biological markers rarely used caregivers. The purposes this study were (1) determine whether caregiver characteristics associated with biomarker (serum cortisol) caregiving distress measure (Caregiver Burden Inventory) (2) the...

Background Patients with heart failure (HF) must engage in self-care, yet their self-care is often poor. Cognitive function commonly impaired HF and associated poor self-care. Heart knowledge confidence also are needed to preform Few investigators have examined mediators of the association cognitive Objectives The aim this study was determine whether mediated maintenance management among patients HF. Methods This a cross-sectional observational 164 assessed using Montreal Assessment....
