This article focuses on patients' participation in decision-making meetings with healthcare professionals a system, based neoliberal regulations and ideas. Drawing two constructed empirical cases, primarily from the perspective of patients, this analyses discusses clinical practice around within Foucauldian perspective. Patients' can be seen as an offshoot respect for patient autonomy. A treatment must chosen, when patients consult physicians. From there is tendency to supply information...

Abstract Aims Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) may predict poor clinical in patients with heart failure (HF). It remains unclear whether PROMs are associated subsequent adherence to HF medication.

Methods Interviews using critical psychology. A total 24 participated, representing departments both medicine surgical specialties. All worked either in department where they are usually stationed or were recruited from other to department.

In patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), loneliness is associated increased risk of morbidity and mortality. No predictive tool available to detect who are influenced by a degree that impacts mortality.To: (i) propose prediction model detects increases one-year all-cause mortality, (ii) evaluate classification performance the model, (iii) investigate potential questionnaire response errors.A cohort CHD (n = 7169) responded national cross-sectional survey, including two questions on...

Abstract Aims An in-depth understanding of the prognostic value patient-reported outcomes (PRO) is essential to facilitate person-centred care in heart failure (HF). This study aimed clarify role subjective mental and physical health status patients with HF. Methods results Patients HF were identified from DenHeart Survey (n = 1499) PRO data obtained at hospital discharge, including EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D), HeartQoL, Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS).

Nurses are required to apply research-based knowledge in order perform evidence-based practice. A survey was conducted identify nurses’ information-retrieval skills, behavior and needs replies were received from 1301 nurses. The most used electronic resources for retrieval of healthcare information the local intra-net Google, while bibliographic databases a lesser extent. Half respondents indicated that they accustomed search an equal number lack time not requested by their colleagues....

A paucity of resuscitation studies have examined sex differences in patient-reported outcomes upon hospital discharge. It remains unclear whether male and female patients differ health their immediate responses to trauma treatment after resuscitation.The aim this study was examine the recovery period resuscitation.In a national cross-sectional survey, were measured by 5 instruments: symptoms anxiety depression (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale), illness perception (Brief Illness Perception...

Background Illness perception is composed of thoughts, ideas, and beliefs about illness, a negative illness known to be associated with poor outcomes. Among men women, clinical outcomes after heart valve surgery are differ, but knowledge differences in sparse. Objectives The aim this study describe the among women open identify sociodemographic characteristics worse women. Methods In national cross-sectional combined register-based information, data on were collected Brief Perception...

Readiness for hospital discharge describes a patient's perception of feeling prepared to leave the hospital. In mixed patient populations, readiness has shown predict readmission and mortality in short term. The objectives population men women with cardiac diseases, were investigate: (i) whether predicts within 1-year post-discharge, as well (ii) association between 'physical stability', 'adequate support', 'psychological ability', information knowledge' discharge.Data from national...

Women report worse health-related patient-reported outcomes (PROs) compared with men following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, this association is not well established when accounting for demographic and clinical patient characteristics at discharge. This knowledge essential clinicians planning individualised care patients AMI. The aim of study to examine whether gender associated PROs discharge from a Danish heart centre, combining data the national health administrative...

It is well-established that heart failure has a negative impact on quality of life. However, little known about patient-related predictors health-related life, anxiety and depression, symptoms illness perception among patients with failure.To study the association between patient-reported outcome measures at discharge from hospital in cohort failure.We used data 1506 failure, participating national DenHeart Survey disease. The potential included demographic, administrative, clinical...

Comorbid psychiatric disorders and the use of psychotropic medication are common among cardiac patients have been found to increase risk mortality. The aims this study were: (i) describe with without symptoms anxiety, (ii) estimate association between prior hospital admission all-cause, 1-year mortality following discharge, (iii) users non-users or self-reported anxiety.Cardiac from DenHeart survey were included, providing information on anxiety. From national registers, 6 months...

Abstract Aims The objectives were to describe differences in self-reported health at discharge between women diagnosed with angina or unspecific chest pain and investigate the association adverse outcomes within 3 years.

Self-reported measured validated...

Background: A growing population is living with ischemic heart disease (IHD). Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are reliable prognostic tools. Studies exploring PROs needed to identify vulnerable patients and guide targeted healthcare strategies.

Background: The SF-12v2 health survey (SF-12) is widely used as a generic measure of health-related quality life. However, interpretation score differences can be difficult. Aim: To estimate benchmarks for on the SF-12 readmission and all-cause mortality in cardiac patients. Methods: Data from DenHeart study, national cross-sectional including one year follow-up register data, were used. Patients with ischaemic heart disease, arrhythmia, failure valve disease answered at hospital discharge....
