Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Articulations of the Vertebral Column

Articulations of the Vertebral Column

In addition to being held together by the intervertebral discs, adjacent vertebrae also articulate with each other at synovial joints formed between the superior and inferior articular processes called zygapophysial joints (facet joints). These are plane joints that provide for only limited motions between the vertebrae. The orientation of the articular processes at these joints varies in different regions of the vertebral column and serves to determine the types of motions available in each...

Bioavailability Study Design: Healthy Subjects Versus Patients

Bioavailability Study Design: Healthy Subjects Versus Patients

Bioavailability studies are essential for evaluating a drug's therapeutic efficacy and understanding its absorption patterns under various physiological conditions. Conducting such studies on target patient populations provides more relevant data by simulating real-world disease states. However, practical challenges often necessitate the use of young, healthy adult volunteers as study subjects.Patients may exhibit altered drug absorption patterns due to the effects of the disease itself,...

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

Center of Gravity

Center of Gravity

The center of gravity (COG) of an object is the point where the object's total weight is considered to be concentrated. Knowing the location of the center of gravity is useful when predicting the behavior of a moving object or designing static structures. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of gravity is similar to the center of mass (COM); yet, these two points can be positioned differently. For example, the Moon's center of mass lies very close to its geometric center, but...

Center of Gravity

Center of Gravity

The center of gravity is the point at which an object's weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly. This point is essential in mechanics as it provides information regarding a body's stability and moments of inertia. The center of gravity does not always have to fall within the shape or boundaries of the body; it may also lie outside the body in certain cases.
To determine its location, the principle of moments can be utilized by dividing the object into...

Area of Science:

Oncology
Patient Experience Research
Health Technology

Background:

Cancer journeys are complex, involving physical, emotional, and daily life challenges.
Holistic, patient-centered technology development requires understanding the full scope of the cancer experience.
Current health tools may not adequately address the multifaceted needs of cancer patients.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a framework detailing patient responsibilities, challenges, and impacts during the cancer journey.
To enhance understanding of the cancer patient experience from diagnosis through survivorship.
To guide the creation of health technologies that support comprehensive patient needs.

Main Methods:

Conducted focus groups and interviews with 31 breast cancer patients.
Analyzed qualitative data to identify key themes and patterns.
Developed a cancer journey framework based on patient narratives.

Main Results:

Identified distinct phases and responsibilities within the cancer journey.
Highlighted significant physical, emotional, and logistical challenges faced by patients.
Documented the personal impacts of cancer on patients' daily lives and priorities.

Conclusions:

A comprehensive cancer journey framework is essential for patient-centered care.
Health technologies should integrate patient responsibilities and daily life complexities.
Further research can refine tools to support patients holistically throughout their cancer experience.
