Objectives: This study aims to explore the identification of older people in need of dental consultation, with a Simplified Oral Indicator (SOI) used by home care nurses (HCNs) and with the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI-NL) completed by older people themselves, compared with the Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT-NL), performed by dental hygienists.
Methods: The HCNs completed SOI based on their professional view, knowledge and experience; scores red/orange/green were given to older people for oral health and oral hygiene. Older people completed the GOHAI-NL and dental hygienists completed the OHAT-NL.
Article Synopsis
- - This study explored using a dual accelerometer method to track physical activity in critically ill burn patients, aiming to gather detailed data on the type and duration of their activities during hospitalization.
- - Conducted in a burn center in the Netherlands, five patients with significant burn injuries participated and wore accelerometers on their chest and thigh to monitor activity, resulting in analysis of 14-49 days of data per patient.
- - The findings showed that while the method effectively identified and quantified activities during wear time, the data processing was labor-intensive and needed improvement for practical clinical use.
Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery protocols emphasize the importance of early postoperative mobilization. However, literature quantifying actual physical activity after major abdominal cancer surgery is scarce and inconclusive.
Material And Methods: A single-center prospective cohort study was conducted at the University Medical Center Groningen from 2019 to 2021.
Background: For families with adolescent children, the transition to adulthood is usually challenging. This period may be extra demanding for families with a child with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities due to the child's strong and persistent support needs. To support these families during this phase and to facilitate the transition process of these adolescents, we adapted the Canadian skills for growing up (SGU) into the skills for growing up-profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (SGU-PIMD).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To determine the effect of interventions on physical activity levels of patients awaiting abdominal resection surgery using self-reported as well as device-measured outcome measures.
Data Source: PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched on the 18 of April 2023 up to April 2023 for studies on interventions to promote physical activity during the preoperative phase.
Review Methods: Studies were included if pre- and post-intervention physical activity was measured between diagnosis and abdominal surgery.
