Article Abstract
The Questionnaire for Patient-Surgeon Relationship (Q-PASREL) is a French "Patient-Reported Experience Measure" for hand surgery patients. It is the only one which considers the impact of the patient-surgeon relationship on time to return to work and cooperation by the surgeon for administrative issues. It has been shown that a good Q-PASREL score is associated with shorter sick leave and faster return to work. To make this instrument available to more countries, we translated the Q-PASREL into six languages (English, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic and Persian), following a validated "translation and cultural adaptation" process guideline. This process includes multiple forward and backward translations, discussions and reconciliations with final harmonization and cognitive debriefing. For each language, a team was set up, comprising a key in-country hand surgery consultant, native target-language speaker and fluent in French, and several forward and back translators. The final translated versions were reviewed and approved by the project manager. The six versions of Q-PASREL are now available in the appendices of this publication.
Introduction: Surgeon attire significantly affects patients' perceptions and can improve patient-surgeon relationships, which are crucial for patient comfort, experience, satisfaction, and treatment adherence. Understanding patient preferences for surgeon attire is essential, particularly in Saudi Arabia, for establishing appropriate dress codes in healthcare institutions. This national cross-sectional study aimed to fill this gap by assessing patient preferences for surgeon attire and its impact on patients' confidence in their surgeons across various medical settings.
Gallstone-related diseases, particularly common bile duct (CBD) stones, pose a significant global health challenge. The emergence of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) has transformed the management of these conditions by offering a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. This literature review aims to analyze published literature to identify and understand the risk factors associated with LCBDE.
Background: A trusting partnership between patient and surgeon lies at the core of a successful therapeutic relationship. However, there are conditions that can jeopardize this partnership and create an ethical dilemma for the surgeon, who is guided by a moral obligation to care for the patient without causing unnecessary harm. We present a discussion of several pathways to achieve ethical resolution to therapeutic relationships that have grown untenable with a focus on patients with comorbid psychiatric illness.
Background: The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has allowed users to have access to large sources of information in a chat-like manner. Thereby, we sought to evaluate ChatGPT-4 response's accuracy to the 10 patient most frequently asked questions (FAQs) regarding anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery.
Methods: A list of the top 10 FAQs pertaining to ACL surgery was created after conducting a search through all Sports Medicine Fellowship Institutions listed on the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) and American Orthopaedic Society of Sports Medicine (AOSSM) websites.
Shoulder arthroplasty is a significant surgery for treating severe shoulder arthritis, and understanding patients' decision-making can aid in their support during the process.
A study involved 12 participants awaiting the surgery, whose interviews revealed motivations for surgery mainly centered around pain relief and regaining independence.
Trust in the surgeon and desire for optimized recovery were key factors influencing participants’ decisions, with younger patients focusing on work and activities while older ones concentrated on improving their quality of life.
