Continuing Care

Continuing Care

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Barriers to Effective Communication II

Barriers to Effective Communication II

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...

Area of Science:

Palliative Care
Surgical Care
Health Disparities

Background:

Surgical palliative care enhances quality of life for critically ill surgical patients.
Existing research on medical palliative care reveals disparities in care for certain racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and geographic groups.
Disparities in surgical palliative care are not well-defined due to limited research.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the current evidence on disparities in surgical palliative care.
To identify knowledge gaps in surgical palliative care research.
To prioritize future research directions for equitable surgical palliative care.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of existing literature on surgical palliative care disparities.
Analysis of identified articles for trends in access and outcomes.
Identification of under-researched areas and populations.

Main Results:

Evidence indicates disparities in surgical palliative care access and outcomes across racial/ethnic groups, age ranges, socioeconomic statuses, hospital types, and geographic regions.
A significant scarcity of research exists, particularly concerning minoritized populations.
Factors contributing to these disparities require further investigation.

Conclusions:

Surgical palliative care disparities exist but are poorly understood due to limited research.
More robust research is crucial to identify at-risk populations and understand the drivers of these disparities.
Future research should focus on addressing these knowledge gaps to promote equitable surgical palliative care.
