Summary
Two group brainstorming sessions are sufficient to achieve over 90% concept saturation for eliciting patient-important outcomes (PIOs). A single session captured only 63-87% of unique PIOs, highlighting the need for multiple sessions in patient engagement research.
Area of Science:
- Patient engagement
- Health outcomes research
- Qualitative research methods
Background:
- Group brainstorming is a patient input elicitation technique.
- No data currently exist on concept saturation for group brainstorming.
- This study addresses concept saturation in group brainstorming sessions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore concept saturation in group brainstorming.
- To compare concept saturation in single versus multiple sessions.
- To determine the optimal number of sessions for eliciting patient-important outcomes (PIOs).
Main Methods:
- Fifty-two adult patients with diabetes participated in three group brainstorming sessions.
- Participants were prompted to elicit PIOs in diabetes care.
- Responses were compiled into a master list to compare saturation across sessions.
Main Results:
- Individual sessions yielded 63-87% of unique PIOs compared to the master list.
- No single session achieved >90% saturation.
- All combinations of two sessions achieved >90% saturation.
Conclusions:
- Single brainstorming sessions capture a limited range of PIOs.
- Two group brainstorming sessions are sufficient for achieving over 90% concept saturation.
- This finding has implications for efficient patient engagement in research.

21.9K
Imagine adding a small amount of sugar to a glass of water, stirring until all the sugar has dissolved, and then adding a bit more. You can repeat this process until the sugar concentration of the solution reaches its natural limit, a limit determined primarily by the relative strengths of the solute-solute, solute-solvent, and solvent-solvent attractive forces. You can be certain that you have reached this limit because, no matter how long you stir the solution, undissolved sugar remains. The...

10.8K
Kinetics describes the rate and path by which a reaction occurs. In contrast, thermodynamics deals with state functions and describes the properties, behavior, and components of a system. It is not concerned with the path taken by the process and cannot address the rate at which a reaction occurs. Although it does provide information about what can happen during a reaction process, it does not describe the detailed steps of what appears on an atomic or a molecular level. On the other hand,...

Nearly all the energy used by cells comes from the bonds that make up complex organic compounds. These organic compounds are broken down into simpler molecules, such as glucose. As a result, cells extract energy from glucose over many chemical reactions—a process called cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...

01:19Special considerations while measuring oxygen saturation
966
Assessing respiratory rate concurrently with pulse measurement is fundamental to patient care, providing valuable insights into the patient's respiratory function. The normal breathing rate for an adult usually falls within a normal range of 12 to 20 breaths per minute. Abnormal respiratory rates can signal underlying health conditions or the need for immediate intervention.

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance 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...
