The effects of COVID-19 stay-at-home order on sleep, health, and working patterns: a survey study of US health care workers.

Study Objectives: By March 2020, COVID-19 forced much of the world to stay at home to reduce the spread of the disease. Whereas some health care workers transitioned to working from home, many continued to report to work in person as essential employees. We sought to explore changes in sleep, health, work, and mood in health care workers during the stay-at-home orders.

A Glaucoma-Specific Brief Motivational Interviewing Training Program for Ophthalmology Para-professionals: Assessment of Feasibility and Initial Patient Impact.

Our objective was to test the feasibility of, fidelity to, and initial impact of a brief, glaucoma-specific motivational interviewing (MI) training program for ophthalmic para-professionals. This prospective, mixed-methods study had two components, one for staff and one for patients. Staff fidelity to MI principles was graded through audio-recorded encounters after initial and final training sessions.

Personalized behavior change program for glaucoma patients with poor adherence: a pilot interventional cohort study with a pre-post design.

Background: About half of people with glaucoma do not adhere to their recommended medications. Interventions for other chronic conditions have successfully utilized reminder systems and motivational interviewing (MI)-based counseling. This study was designed to pilot a personalized intervention that leverages these strategies to assess their impact on medication adherence in glaucoma patients.

User-centered Design of the eyeGuide: A Tailored Glaucoma Behavior Change Program.

Purpose: We employed user-centered design to refine a prototype of the eyeGuide, a novel, tailored behavior change program intended to improve medication adherence among glaucoma patients.

Patients: Glaucoma patients age 40 years and above prescribed ≥1 glaucoma medication were included.

Methods: The eyeGuide consists of tailored educational content and tailored testimonials in which patients share how they were able to overcome barriers to improve their medication adherence.
