[Identification of psychosocially stressed families by practice pediatricians : Results on the effectiveness of the PATH (Pediatric Attention To Help) intervention].

Background: In Germany, about a fifth of families with young children live under psychosocially stressful conditions that can threaten the healthy development of the child. In order to improve the referral of these families from pediatric practices to early childhood intervention services ("Frühe Hilfen"), the PATH intervention was developed and implemented in Baden-Württemberg. The first step in the referral process is to identify psychosocially stressed families.

Patients' beliefs as predictors of patient satisfaction and health-related quality of life in pediatric rehabilitation.

Objective: This study investigated the predictive value of illness and treatment beliefs for patient satisfaction and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in adolescents receiving inpatient rehabilitation treatment. In addition, we examined the relationship between fulfilled rehabilitation-related treatment expectations and patient satisfaction.

Method: In this longitudinal study (recruitment between April 2019 and March 2020), 170 participants ( = 14.

Minimisation of dialysis risk in hospital patients with chronic kidney disease (MinDial): study protocol for a multicentre, stepped-wedge, cluster-randomised controlled trial.

Background: Early identification of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and advancing kidney insufficiency, followed by specialist care, can decelerate the progression of the disease. However, awareness of the importance and possible consequences of kidney insufficiency is low among doctors and patients. Since kidney insufficiency can be asymptomatic even in higher stages, it is often not even known to those belonging to risk groups.

The rehabilitation treatment beliefs questionnaire-revised: assessing adolescents' treatment beliefs.

Objective: While there are several studies on children's and adolescents' beliefs about illness and medication treatment, there is limited research on their treatment beliefs in the context of rehabilitation. The Rehabilitation Treatment Beliefs Questionnaire (RTBQ) was the first instrument available to assess pediatric patients' rehabilitation-related treatment beliefs. However, the RTBQ had some limitations that we aimed to address in this study: We revised the content of the RTBQ to include previously unaddressed dimensions of rehabilitation-related treatment beliefs, and we thoroughly tested its psychometric properties based on a sizeable, multicenter sample of adolescents with different chronic diseases.

The concept of treatment beliefs in children and adolescents with chronic health conditions: a scoping review.

Children and adolescents with chronic health conditions are faced with ongoing challenges, making self-regulation crucial. As children grow up, they gradually develop differentiated beliefs about illness and treatment. While research indicates treatment beliefs as relevant factor on outcomes like adherence, the specific contents and dimensions of children's and adolescents' treatment beliefs remained unclear.

Effects of a health psychology-based intervention for patients with asplenia on psychological determinants of preventive behaviour: A propensity score analysis.

Objective: Patients with asplenia have an increased lifelong risk of severe infections especially post splenectomy sepsis with hospital mortality rates of 30-50%. Adherence to existing guidelines for preventive measures is low. Objective of the study is the evaluation of a novel intervention to increase health psychological outcomes in patients with asplenia resulting in better adherence to preventive measures.

Availability and quality of assessment instruments on patient-centredness in older adults with multimorbidity: a systematic review.

Objective: Patient-centredness (PC) is central to the health care of older adults with multimorbidity, but knowledge about the psychometric quality of instruments measuring it in this group is scarce. Based on an integrative model of PC, we aimed to identify assessment instruments of PC for this particular group and evaluate their psychometric properties.

Methods: We systematically searched six electronic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Web of Science and PSYNDEX), initially covering research published up to 2018 and updated later to include work up to July 2022.

Illness Beliefs, Treatment Beliefs, and Fulfilled Treatment Expectations in Psychosomatic Rehabilitation: Associations with Patient Satisfaction.

Purpose: Patients' illness and treatment beliefs have been shown to predict health outcomes in many health care settings. However, information about their impact on patient satisfaction is scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate illness- and rehabilitation-related treatment beliefs and met rehabilitation-related treatment expectations and their relationship with patient satisfaction in psychosomatic rehabilitation.

Psychometric properties of the rehabilitation treatment beliefs questionnaire for psychosomatic rehabilitation.

Purpose: Treatment beliefs play a crucial role for patient satisfaction and the treatment outcome in psychosomatic rehabilitation. The aim of this study was the development and the psychometric evaluation of an indication-specific questionnaire of beliefs about psychosomatic rehabilitation.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted at a psychosomatic rehabilitation clinic.

Patients' with asplenia and doctors' experiences in implementing preventative measures following a novel educational intervention: a qualitative analysis.

Objective: To explore patients' with asplenia and general practitioners' (GPs) (1) perceptions of a novel, (HAPA)-based, educational intervention which targets to increase adherence to post-splenectomy sepsis (PSS) prevention measures and (2) their experience in implementing prevention measures following this intervention.

Design: A process evaluation conducted on average 3.5 (for patients) and 3.

[Not Available].

Background: Contextual factors are a central element of the ICF and important factors for therapy planning in psychosomatic rehabilitation. At the same time, little is known about the relationship between contextual factors and patient self-regulation, an important goal of rehabilitation.The aim of this study is therefore to investigate the relationship between contextual factors and illness belies.

Treatment Beliefs of Children and Adolescents With Chronic Diseases: Development of the Rehabilitation Treatment Beliefs Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents.

Objective: Rehabilitation is an important component in the health care of children and adolescents with chronic diseases and aims at supporting patients' self-regulation for dealing with the disease. Patients' beliefs about illness and treatment are core elements in the self-regulation process. While questionnaires measuring illness beliefs for children and adolescents exist, questionnaires about their rehabilitation-related treatment beliefs are lacking.

Evaluation of a cross-sectoral care intervention for families with psychosocial burden: a study protocol of a controlled trial.

Background: Family risk factors, e.g. low socioeconomic status or parental mental health disorders, can affect children's health and development.

Illness and treatment beliefs as predictors of rehabilitation outcome in patients with mental disorders.

Objective: Illness and treatment beliefs are important predictors of health outcomes. However, little is known about their impact on outcomes in psychosomatic rehabilitation. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the impact of illness and rehabilitation-related treatment beliefs in patients with mental disorders attending psychosomatic rehabilitation.

[Changes in Somatic, Behavioral, and Psychosocial Outcomes during the Inpatient Rehabilitation of Patients with Metabolic Syndrome - A Longitudinal Study of the META-Program].

Purpose: This study analyzed whether clinical, behavioral and psychosocial outcomes changed in patients who participate in a five weeks inpatient rehabilitation program addressing the metabolic syndrome (META-program) and whether changes were maintained at a three months follow-up.

Methods: At the beginning of the program, N=114 eligible patients consented to participate in the study. Behavioral and psychosocial outcomes were measured with standardized questionnaires at program entry, program completion and three months later.

Rehabilitation-related treatment beliefs in adolescents: A qualitative study.

Background: Medical rehabilitation plays an important role in the health care of chronically ill children and adolescents. During medical rehabilitation, supporting illness-related self-regulation is a central goal. Beliefs about illness and beliefs about treatment are core elements of patients' self-regulation, and there is evidence that these beliefs are relevant predictors of different health- and treatment-related outcomes such as adherence.

Patient-centeredness in the multimorbid elderly: a focus group study.

Background: Patient-centeredness (PC) aims to adapt health care to the individual needs and preferences of patients. An existing integrative model of PC comprises several dimensions of PC which have not yet been investigated from the patients' perspective. Older patients with multimorbidity represent a target group for patient-centered care, as their care needs are particularly complex and should be addressed individually.

Patient-Centeredness in Older Adults With Multimorbidity: Results of an Online Expert Delphi Study.

Background And Objectives: Older adults suffering from multimorbidity represent a priority target group for patient-centeredness (PC). We aimed to investigate the transferability of an existing integrated model of PC comprising 15 dimensions on the care of older adults with multimorbidity from an expert perspective.

Research Design And Methods: A total of 242 experts were invited to participate in a 2-round online Delphi study.

Contextual factors of self-regulation in children and adolescents with chronic diseases - a qualitative analysis.

Background: In recent decades, the prevalence of chronic diseases in children and adolescents has increased significantly. Contextual factors play a central role in the self-regulation of chronic diseases. They influence illness and treatment representations, disease management, and health outcomes.

Evaluation of a Mobile Phone App for Patients With Pollen-Related Allergic Rhinitis: Prospective Longitudinal Field Study.

Background: Mobile health apps have great potential to support the self-management of chronic conditions such as allergic diseases, which constitute significant challenges in health care. However, the health app market is confusing for users, as it is vast, dynamic, and lacks scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of the apps on offer. To our knowledge, no health app for pollen-related allergic rhinitis has been evaluated.

Availability and Quality of Assessment Instruments on Patient-Centredness in the Multimorbid Elderly (AQuA-PCE): a study protocol of a systematic review.

Introduction: Elderly, multimorbid patients are a primary target group for patient-centred care, and fostering patient-centredness (PC) in this group has been associated with different healthcare aims such as safety and quality of healthcare. However, evidence on effects of patient-centred interventions is still limited and mixed. In part, the lack of consistent evidence has its roots in a conceptual uncertainty of the term 'PC', which also hampers the development of assessment tools for PC.

Prevention of post-splenectomy sepsis in patients with asplenia - a study protocol of a controlled trial.

Background: Patients with asplenia have a significantly increased lifelong risk of severe invasive infections, particular post-splenectomy sepsis (PSS). Clear preventive measures have been described in the literature, but previous studies found poor implementation of prevention recommendations. Aim of the study is to improve the adherence to guideline-based preventive measures and thereby reduce the incidence of PSS by a novel telephone-delivered intervention that involves both patients and their physicians.
