Liver Transplant Recipients

Introduction: Early hospital readmission following liver transplantation is associated with lower survival and worse long-term graft function. Language, cultural practices, and health literacy influence patient understanding of posttransplant care education. Complex medication regimes, changes in metabolism and nutrition absorption, and infection/rejection further complicate the prevention of readmission. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the 30-day readmissions of single-organ liver transplant recipients for 1-year prior and 1-year following the implementation of nurse-led education. The study examined the demographics, clinical characteristics, and 30-day readmissions of 35 liver transplant recipients who participated in the newly designed nurse-led education and 51 liver transplant recipients who experienced the prior post-liver transplant education. Design: A single-center, correlational study with a convenience sample was conducted at a Hispanic-serving South Texas hospital. The new education intervention maintained the standard education and added twice-daily mutual patient-focused goal setting between the nurse and the recipient that aligned with readiness for discharge activities/goals, structured education using abbreviated handouts written at a second-grade level available in both English and Spanish, and the use of repetition through multimodal methods. Results: The odds for 30-day readmissions the year prior to the nurse-led patient education intervention were 2.088 times greater than the year following the implementation. Thirty-day readmissions were reduced by 16.3% from the 2017 cohort to the 2018 cohort. Discussion: Understanding unique risk factors facilitates structured patient education which can be individualized to the patient and caregiver including collaborative nurse–patient goals.

Background: Patients with inflammatory polyarthritis have various degrees of disease-related challenges such as joint pain, stiffness, fatigue, and physical limitations. Despite these challenges, patients strive for a good life using their personal resources, often taught in patient education. The effect of patient education in polyarthritis is well studied; however, long-term studies on what patients perceive as a good life after participating in arthritis patient education are scarce.Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore patients’ perceptions of having a good life one year after attending a nurse-led patient education intervention.Methods: This was a qualitative study nested within a randomized controlled trial (RCT) studying the effect of nurse-led patient education. Fifteen individual semi-structured interviews were conducted among those who attended the nurse-led patient education intervention. The intervention focused on the consequences of living with chronic inflammatory arthritis. The interviews explored how and whether the intervention had made any changes in the informants perceived health, well-being, arthritis, flares, and treatment regimes. The data were analyzed thematically using systematic text condensation.Results: The findings showed that the informants’ perceptions of having a good life were related to a stable disease with few symptoms, effective treatment regimes, discovering new opportunities and perspectives in life, as well as making choices that felt right. Creating a good life was something the informants had acquired knowledge about in the nurse-led patient education intervention, particularly in the part where they had discussed and shared experiences with each other on how they managed their arthritis in different ways and settings.Conclusion: Participating in a nurse-led patient education intervention in arthritis helped the informants to discover new opportunities and perspectives on creating a good life, especially through exchanging experiences with fellow patients.

Refractory Asthma

Although studies show that control of asthma can be achieved in the majority of patients, surveys repeatedly show that this is not the case in real life. Important measures to implement in order to achieve asthma control are trained healthcare professionals, a good patient–doctor relationship, patient education, avoidance of exposure to triggers, personalised management and adherence to treatment. These measures help the majority of asthma patients but have not yet been widely implemented and there should be a concerted action for their implementation. Moreover, further and focused research is needed in severe/refractory asthma.
