- The study focused on developing a new risk tolerance tool to improve the surgical consent process, addressing the challenges faced by surgeons in understanding patients' values during busy clinical settings.
- Patients expressed general satisfaction with the current consent process, but highlighted issues like it being impersonal and rushed, indicating a need for more individualized approaches.
- The risk tool identified six key areas of risk and showed high patient acceptability, suggesting it could enhance the surgical consent experience by better reflecting individual patient concerns and preferences.*
Background: Research indicates an inconsistent relationship between age and the prevalence of premature ejaculation (PE), with studies reporting an increase, decrease, or no change with age.
Aim: To reexamine the possible relationship between age and PE prevalence, implementing methodological improvements that enhance the likelihood of detecting real effects.
Methods: From a sample of 2772 men, we analyzed a subset of 418 classified as having probable or definite PE based on the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool.
While emerging research is highlighting the significant effects of culture on marital and family relationships, studies investigating relationship intimacy and abuse in non-Western cultures are non-existent. This investigation assessed relationship intimacy in Pakistani women experiencing trauma symptoms (PTSD) from domestic abuse (DA) who received a culturally informed trauma intervention in a context that differs greatly in values and assumptions about marital relationships relative to Western traditions. Forty women meeting inclusion criteria were assessed on domestic violence type and characteristics (both victim and perpetrator characteristics), PTSD symptomology, and three aspects of relationship intimacy: engagement, communication, and shared friendships.
