Objective: To develop a comprehensive, repeatable measure of cognitive-linguistic function for use in inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) settings using contemporary methods and to compare the sensitivity of this measure to the FIM cognitive items.
Design: Retrospective analysis of clinician-reported assessment data collected as part of routine clinical operations.
Setting: Free-standing inpatient rehabilitation facility in the Midwestern United States.
Central venous catheters (CVCs) are invaluable devices in large animal research as they facilitate a wide range of medical applications, including blood monitoring and reliable intravenous fluid and drug administration. Specifically, the tunneled multi-lumen Hickman catheter (HC) is commonly used in swine models due to its lower extrication and complication rates. Despite fewer complications relative to other CVCs, HC-related morbidity presents a significant challenge, as it can significantly delay or otherwise negatively impact ongoing studies.

While the QI is useful for payment purposes, its measurement properties are limited for monitoring patient progress. A mobility measure based on QI items and additional standardized assessments may enhance clinicians' ability to track patient improvement.

- The study aimed to create and assess a new self-care measure for patients in inpatient rehabilitation, focusing on both clinician observations and patient performance.
- The method involved analyzing self-care assessments from over 7,700 patients using advanced statistical techniques to refine the measurement tool and ensure its reliability.
- The results showed that the new self-care measure was more sensitive to patient improvements than existing methods, detecting earlier progress in a significant number of patients who otherwise wouldn’t have been recognized by traditional assessments.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how moral identity, moral judgment, and social self-efficacy impact prosocial behaviors in adolescents.
- Moral identity was identified as a strong predictor of various prosocial actions, while moral judgment and identity combined effectively predicted altruistic behaviors but not helping in public situations.
- Social self-efficacy also played a role by boosting adolescents' confidence to engage in certain prosocial behaviors, highlighting the importance of moral identity in connecting moral beliefs with actions.
