The Impact

Background: Continuous follow-up is one of the most essential factors in patient participation, self-care, continuity of care, and ultimately improved quality of care. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effect of three methods of follow-up through telephone, educational booklet, and SMS on the self-care ability of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: A quasi-experimental study was performed on 120 patients with ACS admitted to the CCU and PCCU of two teaching hospitals affiliated to the Zahedan University of Medical Sciences. The subjects were chosen via convenience sampling and randomized into three intervention groups, including educational booklet, SMS (daily), and telephone (twice a week, 15 - 20 minutes per session). Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and the Kearney and Fleischer Self-Care scale. The interventions were sustained for four weeks after discharge. Six weeks after the program, the questionnaires were completed again. Data were analyzed in SPSS 21 using the chi-square test, paired t-test, and ANOVA at a significance level of below 0.05. Results: A total of 120 patients completed the study. The results showed a significant difference in the self-care scores after the intervention between all of the three groups (P = 0.0001). There was a significant difference between the booklet and SMS groups (P = 0.0001) and between the booklet and telephone groups (P = 0.0001) after the intervention. However, self-care scores were not significantly different between the SMS and telephone groups after the intervention (P = 0.19). Conclusions: The use of SMS was associated with the highest score of self-care in patients with ACS, and it is proposed as the best follow-up method. Therefore, health care providers can enhance patients’ self-care ability through this simple technique and thus, help patients recover sooner and show reduced disease complications.

Problem:Approximately 50% of antibiotics prescribed are not necessary; nevertheless, in the United States among the many outpatient prescriptions, there are few more widely prescribed than antibiotics. The overuse of antibiotics to treat viral infections has been largely responsible for the emergence of antibiotic resistance.Methods:A quasi-experimental study was conducted among a sample of eight urgent care providers who received the 1-hour Reducing Outpatient Antibiotic Resistance (ROAR) educational intervention on antibiotic overuse and appropriate prescribing. Outcomes measured included provider antibiotic prescribing rates for viral illnesses before and after intervention, prescribing practices among the providers, and provider awareness and beliefs regarding antibiotic prescribing and resistance.Results:The antibiotic prescribing rate decreased from 30% to 20% after intervention, p = .078. Pre-intervention patients had a 3.3 times (p = .001) and post-intervention patients had a 4.2 times (p ≤ .0005) greater likelihood of being prescribed an antibiotic if they were seen by a physician than if they were seen by a nurse practitioner. Within their setting, 87% believed antibiotics are overused, and 99% believed antibiotic resistance is a problem.Discussion:Additional research utilizing the ROAR intervention is necessary to evaluate its effect on antibiotic prescribing in the urgent care setting.

The design of this study used a quasi-experimental study with two different methods. The results showed that (1) the achievement of the score of understanding the value of mutual cooperation for students taught by KRPDPBI was better than for students taught by regular learning according to the curriculum; (2) the achievement of the understanding of the value of male students' mutual cooperation is no better than that of female students.
