ABSTRACT Background and Purpose As health systems come under increasing pressure, supporting patients to self‐manage their own condition is becoming increasingly important. A shift towards a more holistic, person‐centred approach healthcare in the hospital setting, through enhancing self‐management support (SMS), required empower increase independence managing conditions. The study aim was explore how physiotherapists perceive implement SMS with inpatient settings. Methods qualitative taken...
Purpose: Following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, people are required to navigate the majority of their physical recovery, including progressive engagement in activity, after they leave hospital. However, there many and psychological challenges activity during early recovery period. The aim this study was identify facilitating factors that help overcome such following CABG surgery. Methods: A qualitative descriptive using semistructured interviews (n = 22) undertaken. Data...
Engagement in physical activity (PA) during the recovery period following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery improves and health-related quality-of-life outcomes.To explore people's perceptions experiences of engaging PA first three months CABG surgery.A mixed methods study design was utilized. Quantitative data were collected via accelerometer capture standardized questionnaires. Qualitative semi-structured interviews at weeks 1, 3, 6 12 post-hospital discharge. Interviews analyzed...
Synchrotron radiation microangiography is a powerful tool for assessing adverse changes in pulmonary vessel density associated with primary hypertension (PH). Congestive heart failure (CHF) leads to `secondary' onset of PH, yet it unknown whether secondary PH also reduced density. This study utilized synchrotron assess both and endothelial function Dahl rat model CHF PH. High salt-fed salt-sensitive (Dahl-S) salt-resistant (Dahl-R) rats were anesthetized was performed the vascular responses...
Background Exposure to clinical practice experiences ensures undergraduate physiotherapy students meet the competencies required graduate as autonomous practitioners. Much of research literature has investigated medical students. While recent studies have explored students' with simulation, few their perspectives a placement in hospital setting at early learning stage four-year programme.Objective To explore novice on real setting.Methods Fifteen Year 3 participated semi-structured...
Blockade of the serotonin reuptake transporter (5-HTT), using fluoxetine, has been identified as a potential therapeutic target for preventing and, importantly, reversing pulmonary hypertension (PH). This study utilized synchrotron radiation microangiography to determine whether fluoxetine could prevent or reverse endothelial dysfunction and vessel rarefaction, which underpin PH. PH was induced by single injection monocrotaline (MCT; 60 mg kg(-1)). Following MCT administration, rats received...
Physiotherapists are well positioned to educate patients about lifestyle behaviours prevent, manage and in some cases reverse, non-communicable diseases. The study aimed explore physiotherapy students’ perceptions the physiotherapists’ role health promotion factors influencing students ask key questions physical activity, smoking sleep health. A mixed methods design was applied a paper-based survey involving 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS) open ended questions. Participants were University...
Newer ERAS protocols aim to eliminate the use of opioids throughout peri-operative experience entirely. An opioid-free protocol was initiated at a stand-alone cancer center for patients undergoing colorectal surgery. The objective this study determine safety and feasibility intra-operative examine factors associated with those who underwent full as intended. A single-center retrospective cohort conducted. Patients included were surgery using protocol. subset received intended analyzed. total...
Engagement in physical activity following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has many benefits and also potential barriers, especially during the first few months. It is important to explore current clinical practice before investigating ways optimally prepare support people progressively increase their post-hospital discharge navigate challenges. The aim of study was New Zealand hospital services for preparing supporting who have had CABG engage discharge.Locality authorisation...
