Factors Affecting Illness

4.9K
When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

1.3K
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

Regression Toward the Mean01:52

Regression Toward the Mean

6.8K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Ubiquitous computing and self-quantification apps offer limited insights into personal habits' health impact.
  • Existing wellness tools lack a comprehensive method to correlate lifestyle behaviors with overall well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a Healthy Behavior Index (HBI) for quantifying the combined impact of lifestyle habits on human health.
  • To create a scalable service for personalized health recommendations and behavior adaptation.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a two-process methodology: Behaviors' Weight-age Identification (BWI) and Healthy Behavior Quantification and Index (HBQI).
  • Utilized text mining for behavior identification, expert verification, and User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) for statistical evaluation.
  • Developed the HBI service for a wellness management application, tested with 103 participants over 12 weeks.

Main Results:

  • The HBI service achieved high reliability (Cronbach's alpha > 0.7) and significant user stimulation (coefficient 0.86).
  • Expert verification confirmed behavior identification with a Kappa agreement of 0.379.
  • User feedback and UEQ evaluation indicated a novelty value of 0.88, showing participant interest.

Conclusions:

  • The HBI effectively stimulates users to adopt healthier behaviors, demonstrating a positive user experience.
  • The independent HBI service can be integrated into various wellness platforms for personalized health evaluations and recommendations.
