Article Synopsis
- A study on the TRANSITION-CHD program aimed to support adolescents and young adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) in transitioning to adult healthcare, focusing on improving their health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
- The trial involved 200 participants aged 13-25, comparing those in the transition program with a standard care group, evaluating changes in HRQoL, disease knowledge, and mental and physical health.
- Results showed the transition group had significantly better HRQoL, disease knowledge, and psychosocial health compared to the control group, indicating the program's effectiveness and potential for broader implementation in healthcare for young people with CHD.
Introduction: The Chronic Disease Self-Management Programme (CDSMP) has resulted in improved health outcomes for patients. However, research has focused mainly on those with chronic conditions and has not extensively explored prevention programmes targeting individuals with specific vulnerability profiles.
Aim: This study aimed to understand the effects of the CDSMP on the lived experience of vulnerable patients included in the EFFICHRONIC project in France, based on their needs and expectations before and after participation.
Background: Despite a broad consensus and recommendations, numerous international reports or studies have shown the difficulties of implementing palliative care within healthcare services. The objective of this study was to understand the palliative approach of registered nurses in hospital medical and surgical care units and their use of mobile palliative care teams.
Methods: Qualitative study using individual in depth semi-structured interviews and focus group of registered nurses.
Objective: Provide up-to-date detection rates for common mental disorders (CMD) and examine patient service-use since the Preferred Doctor scheme was introduced to France in 2005, with patients encouraged to register with and consult a family practitioner (FP) of their choice.
Methods: Study of 1133 consecutive patients consulting 38 FPs in the Montpellier region, replicating a study performed before the scheme. Patients in the waiting room completed the self-report Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) and Client Service-Receipt Inventory with questions on registration with a Preferred Doctor and doctor-shopping.
