Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

29
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.2K
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...

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

560
Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra....

Cancer Therapies

7.9K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Cancer

49.4K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Digital Health
  • Patient Support

Background:

  • Prostate cancer (PC) presents unique challenges for patients and their family caregivers.
  • Effective navigation and support are crucial for managing PC and improving outcomes.
  • Web-based interventions offer a scalable approach to patient and caregiver support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and acceptability of the True North Peer Navigation (PN) program.
  • To evaluate the potential effects of the True North PN program on patient and caregiver outcomes.
  • To determine the suitability of a web-based peer navigation model for PC survivors and their caregivers.

Main Methods:

  • A one-arm, pre-post pilot feasibility study was conducted.
  • Participants were recruited from two Canadian cancer centers.
  • A web-app matched patients/caregivers with trained peer navigators for 3 months of support.

Main Results:

  • The True North PN program demonstrated high feasibility with a 57.9% recruitment rate.
  • Participant satisfaction with peer navigators (8.4/10) and program acceptability were high.
  • Significant improvements were observed in patient/caregiver activation (p=0.002), quality of life (p<0.0001), and support (p=0.03-0.04).

Conclusions:

  • The True North web-based peer navigation program is feasible and acceptable for prostate cancer patients and caregivers.
  • The program shows promising improvements in patient and caregiver activation and quality of life.
  • Further investigation via a randomized controlled trial is warranted to confirm effectiveness.
