End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a chronic, life-threatening condition afflicting over 300,000 Americans. Patient nonadherence and psychological distress are highly prevalent among ESRD patients, both have been found to contribute greater morbidity earlier mortality in this population. A range of factors examined as potential determinants adherence adjustment. Evidence suggests that adjustment maximized when patient's preferred style coping consistent with the contextual features or demands...
Accreditation standards are at the forefront of evolving healthcare systems, setting metrics for high-quality care. Healthcare outcomes (health, experience, cost, provider satisfaction/burn out) becoming mutual goals patient, provider, payer, and system. Achieving in cancer care necessitates collaboration among interdisciplinary teams clinical providers, administrators, patient advocates, caregivers, researchers. Dissemination implementation science provides necessary frameworks to organize...
Distress is prevalent in cancer survivors. Stress management interventions can reduce distress and improve quality of life for patients, but many people with are unfortunately not offered or able to attend such in-person stress interventions.The objective this study was develop an evidence-based intervention patients living that be delivered electronically wide reach dissemination. This paper describes the design development process a technology-based survivors, including exploration phase,...
The present study examined the role of personality as a predictor mortality among patients with chronic renal insufficiency. A prospective evaluation influence on patient survival was conducted over an average 49-month period. Cox regression used to evaluate effects 5 dimensions in sample 174 (100 male and 74 female). At follow-up, 49 had died. Significant demographic clinical predictors included age, diabetic status, hemoglobin level. After these were controlled for, 2 traits,...
Quality of life (QoL) is an important outcome in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). We assessed the validity administering Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G) at 12-month intervals over 3 years a longitudinal study 611 prospectively enrolled, newly diagnosed NHL. evaluated corrected item-total correlation and percent missing to identify items that may be less useful certain NHL patient subgroups. The FACT-G subscales total score demonstrated good internal...

Abstract Background In‐person cognitive‐behavioral stress‐management interventions are consistently associated with reduced cancer distress. However, face‐to‐face delivery is an access barrier for many patients, and there a need to develop remote‐delivered interventions. The current study evaluated the preliminary efficacy of application (app)‐based intervention, StressProffen , in randomized controlled trial. Methods Cancer survivors, maximum 1‐year posttreatment (N = 172), were (n 84) or...
Over 50% of households in the United States have at least one musician-many musicians are also breast cancer survivors. This group has not been well studied, and given level fine sensory-motor skill required for musicianship, we hypothesized that experience unique manifestations treatment toxicities. A nine-item Musical Toxicity Questionnaire (MTQ) was distributed to patients who had consented participate Mayo Clinic Breast Cancer Registry. The MTQ screened participants by asking if they...
Patients with advanced cancer and their caregivers experience a substantial amount of anxiety distress. The purpose this study was to assess the feasibility, acceptability, preliminary effects an 8-week, remotely delivered Resilient Living Program (RLP) for adult patients caregivers. Eligible included adults (≥18 years) cancer. Their caregiver had option participate. RLP components online modules, print journal, 4 video-telehealth-delivered sessions. Content focused on techniques managing...
ABSTRACT Objective To explore pre–hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) demographic, disease, and psychological factors predictive of future regret to determine post‐HSCT variables associated with regret. Patients Methods HSCT candidates participated in a prospective cohort study (June 2008–October 2013) examining health behaviors outcomes, including completion standardized surveys at pre‐HSCT (baseline) 1‐year post‐HSCT. Cases were participants that endorsed follow‐up, controls without...
The present study examined the efficacy of a behavioral intervention designed to increase adherence fluid-intake restrictions among hemodialysis patients. Twenty intervention-group patients were compared with 20 matched control on an indicator at 3 time points. Group x Time interaction was significant, indicating that in 2 groups exhibited differential pattern change across follow-up period. and did not differ significantly terms initial postintervention period but 8-week follow-up. observed...
Compared to alcohol use, and despite its potential health implications, tobacco use among candidates recipients of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has not been the focus much attention. The purpose present study is examine lifetime pre- post-OLT prevalence rates relapse after OLT, comorbid tobacco. Structured interviews were conducted retrospective accounts in 202 OLT recipients. Sixty percent reported a history smoking, with 15% reporting smoking post-OLT. Of smokers who quit before...
Abstract Psychosocial eHealth intervention programs for cancer survivors are still in their infancy, with inconsistent findings so far the scientific literature. The aim of this study was to explore system use, usefulness, ease and preliminary effects Stress Proffen, an app-based cognitive-behavioral stress management patients cancer. A feasibility pilot project tested (N = 25). contained (a) one face-to-face introduction session, (b) 10 modules educational material exercises, (c) follow-up...
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for patients with blood disorders and genetic diseases. Approximately 70% of the HSCTs currently performed in United States use stems cells from an unrelated donor who donated voluntarily. Medical students (MS) are young, diverse, influential population whose willingness to engage altruistic acts, such as donating cells, may be correlated knowledge on topic. A literature gap exists MS perspectives towards HSCT...
