BACKGROUND Preoperative services and education allow patients to take an active role in their recovery and reduce the risk of post-operative complications. Exploring patients’ perceptions and attitudes regarding pre-anesthesia services and education helps reveal gaps in patients’ uptake of them so that targeted educational interventions can be designed and implemented. OBJECTIVE This is an exploratory study aimed at increasing the understanding of patients’ perceptions and concerns about and the adequacy of the pre-anesthesia services and educational content provided to them at the pre-anesthesia clinic (PAC) of the National Guard Hospital (NGH) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The information gathered will be used to design and develop an electronic patient education system that will allow patients to access personalized, evidence-based pre-anesthesia information relevant to their upcoming surgeries. METHODS Quantitative research methods are used to collect relevant information from patients using a closed-ended questionnaire. The questionnaire includes items on demographics, patients’ perceptions and concerns regarding anesthesia, and the assessment of pre-anesthesia information adequacy. RESULTS Our results showed that 94% of the participants consider the PAC very important, and more than half of the participants (56%) were interested in receiving additional educational information about anesthesia via mobile applications. While 100% of the participants were satisfied with the information and services provided at the clinic, the assessment of this information and service adequacy indicated that participants were not adequately informed about anesthesia. Among the most common anesthesia-related concerns were the inability to wake up after anesthesia, becoming paralyzed after spinal anesthesia, the possibility of staying in the ICU after the surgery and developing back pain. CONCLUSIONS This gathered information will be used to design and develop an educational intervention that will deliver evidence-based, personalized and easy to understand educational instructions to patients to better prepare them for their upcoming surgery. The proposed system will overcome the problems of (i) the spread of generalized unrelated educational information and instructions, (ii) patients forgetting or misunderstanding the given instructions, (iii) issues with the accessibility of information, and (iv) a lack of communication and interaction between patients and their anesthetist.

Etude Qualitative

In this qualitative study, rehabilitation therapists (occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and speech-language pathologists) working in stroke care will be asked about their clinical questions. The goals of the study are: to identify common characteristics of questions, to develop a typology of questions, and to uncover reasons why certain questions are pursued.Pour cette étude qualitative, des thérapeutes en réadaptation (ergothérapeutes, physiothérapeutes et orthophonistes) œuvrant auprès de patients ayant subi un accident vasculaire cérébral sont interrogés à propos de leurs questions cliniques. Cette étude vise à déterminer les caractéristiques communes des questions, à dresser une typologie des questions et à découvrir les raisons pour lesquelles certaines questions adressées.

Physical Activity Levels

Physical activity is a vital part of cardiac rehabilitation (CR). However, heart-healthy physical activity levels in people with cardiovascular disease drop significantly after CR. This exploratory study employs qualitative and survey methods within a co-creation approach. The aim is to understand the mechanisms of healthy behavior and habit formation in order to create a novel evidence-based (post-)rehabilitation approach that employs digital means to sustain long-term physical activity levels in people with cardiovascular disease.

Communication Difficulties

Parent-implemented interventions are a highly common approach for enhancing communication and linguistic abilities of late talkers, involving a population that shows a small expressive vocabulary in the absence of other deficits that could explain it. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of a parent-implemented language intervention, It Takes Two to Talk®—The Hanen Program® for Parents (ITTT), to a clinician-directed therapy. Participants were 17 families and their late-talking children: 10 families took part in ITTT and 7 in the clinician-directed modality. The outcomes in the social communication domain were more favorable for the ITTT group, but there were no significant differences between groups as regards vocabulary and syntax. In terms of parents, the research focused on examining if there were significant changes in parents’ stress and their perceptions of their children’s communication abilities. No differences were observed in the level of stress. In contrast, the group that received the ITTT program significantly altered their perceptions of their children’s communication difficulties in comparison with the clinician-directed therapy. These results have implications in the clinical management of late-talking children, and they are discussed in terms of evidence-based practice.

Base Design

Evidence-based design (EBD) is an innovation to the normative design process for practitioners who strive to base design solutions on measurable outcomes. Published information about EBD—its purpose, process, and outcomes springs primarily from healthcare design sources. Little is known about the adoption of an EBD-approach by practitioners of other building types (offices, schools) or their degree of engagement with EBD. This study examined non-healthcare focused design practitioners’ current 1) understanding of EBD, 2) degree of implementation of EBD, and 3) interest in learning more about EBD as determined from an exploratory study via interviews of 10 multidisciplinary firms’ leaders. Findings indicated that these firms practiced normative design, having little knowledge of or engagement with EBD. To help identify reasons for this delay towards EBD, a comparative analysis of EBD-approaches in books published for design practitioners was conducted. It revealed a broad range of approaches, limited timelines for implementation, and promotion of practitioner/researcher collaborations. Additional resources/tools are needed by the non-healthcare focused design practitioners to support implementation of an EBD-approach into their normative design process.

The disability rights movement has grown considerably. Recognizing that this international movement has travelled largely under the media radar, it nevertheless remains important to explore how this phenomenon has been reported upon over recent decades. Applying historical–comparative and thematic analysis methods to a sample of 16 major newspaper texts published between 1980 and 2017 and obtained via a ProQuest Historical Newspaper database search, as supplemented by eight journal articles retrieved from a Google Scholar search, this exploratory study reveals three key messages. These messages should be of particular interest to newspaper editors, journalists and disability activists around the globe. First, despite a general shortage of major newspaper reporting about the disability rights revolution, progressive themes of activism, legislation, technology and economic participation principles were identified. Second, the ethical reporting of disability rights in a revolutionary context offers opportunities for journalists to move away from disempowering stereotypes. Finally, journalists need to be more prepared to investigate and report about disability rights, the challenges experienced by many people with disabilities, as well as community-endorsed, evidence-based ways forward.
