Impact of Applying Evidence-Based Guidelines for Epileptic Patient on their Knowledge, Self Efficacy, Drug Adherence and Quality of Life

Palliative wound and ostomy care is a nascent area of palliative care, with little research and few evidence-based guidelines to guide practice. Many patients at the end of life will suffer from a wound or ostomy malady, requiring an interprofessional approach led by specialist-level, palliative care clinicians in consultation with a wound, ostomy, and continence nurse. Palliative wound and ostomy care emphasizes an interprofessional, patient-centred approach to alleviate suffering and promote well-being and quality of life through expert symptom management and preservation or restoration of functional performance. A combination of evidence-based wound and ostomy interventions and advanced symptom management science is the hallmark of this specialty.

Care Nursing

Palliative wound, ostomy, and continence care is a nascent area of palliative care nursing, with little research and few evidence-based guidelines to guide practice. The majority of patients at end of life will suffer from a wound, ostomy, or continence malady, requiring specialist-level consultation with a wound, ostomy, and continence nurse (WOC nurse). Palliative wound, ostomy, and continence care emphasizes an interprofessional, patient-centered approach to alleviate suffering and promote well-being and quality of life through the preservation or restoration of functional performance. A combination of evidence-based wound, ostomy, and continence nursing interventions and advanced symptom management science is the hallmark of this nursing specialty.

Pure Tone Audiogram

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.
