Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

237
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...

Self-Help Support Groups01:28

Self-Help Support Groups

311
Self-help support groups are voluntary, community-based organizations that provide a platform for individuals with shared concerns to exchange support, insights, and practical strategies for coping with life challenges. Typically led by group members or paraprofessionals, these groups form a cornerstone of mental health care, especially in reaching populations that are underserved by traditional healthcare systems.

Intellectual Disability01:29

Intellectual Disability

631
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment01:24

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

972
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

Parkinson's Disease: Overview01:15

Parkinson's Disease: Overview

1.7K
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Community Health
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • People with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) experience significant barriers to community participation.
  • Current interventions often focus on individual barriers, neglecting systemic issues.
  • There is a need to explore system-level changes to enhance community inclusion for PwMS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify actionable system-level changes supporting community participation for people with MS.
  • To involve diverse MS community members in identifying solutions.
  • To inform professionals and policymakers on effective support strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A community-engaged research approach was employed.
  • An online community engagement meeting (CEM) was conducted with MS community members.
  • A community advisory board guided the process, including planning, implementation, and dissemination.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-one participants proposed recommendations across four key areas: information access, MS care improvement, environmental accessibility, and combating ableism.
  • Participants identified specific actionable solutions for system-level change.
  • The study demonstrated successful community engagement in identifying practical recommendations.

Conclusions:

  • System-level changes are vital for fostering community participation among people with MS.
  • Community-engaged research can generate practical insights for policy and practice.
  • Future efforts should focus on implementing identified system-level changes to support PwMS.
