  1. Article ; Online: Quality of Life Measurements from the Patient Perspective: Capturing the Heterogeneity of the Patient Experience in a Standardised Way.

    Abstract For patients, quality of life is the confluence and interaction of multiple factors related to both the disease and to how life is lived with and beyond the disease. When tasked with completing a quality-of-life questionnaire, patients may well wonder for whose benefit this is, which really needs to be made clear. We discuss some of the issues around quality-of-life questionnaires and the challenge of the heterogeneity of the patient experience. PATIENT SUMMARY: This mini-review discusses quality-of-life measurements from the patient perspective and the need to take account of the patient's life and not just the disease.

  2. Article ; Online: The role of distance and transportation in decision making to seek emergency obstetric care among women of reproductive age in south-South Nigeria: A mixed methods study.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the role of transportation in seeking emergency obstetric care among women with obstetric complications.
    Methods: A mixed-methods design. The study population comprised women aged 15-49 years who had experience direct obstetric complications and were attending the health facility for care at the time of this study. A total of 318 women completed the questionnaires, and in-depth interviews were held for six women who were purposively selected from the 318 respondents. Both questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were used in collecting data for this study. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS using both inferential and bivariate analysis, and a qualitative content analysis was carried out on the qualitative data.
    Results: Of the 318 respondents, 290 (91.2%) accessed health facilities by motorized transport with 28 (8.8%) on foot. Mode of transportation was related to regularity at prenatal care (P = 0.003), with those who came on foot being regular attenders compared with those that came on motorized transport.
    Conclusion: An efficient and suitable transport system as well as distance are key factors influencing women's role in decision making to seek care.

  3. Article: Comparing conservation and animal welfare professionals' perspectives on domestic cat management

    Abstract Debates about managing roaming and hunting behaviours in domestic cats often appear to fracture along lines of biodiversity conservation and animal welfare. In practice, however, there may be no inherent opposition between these interests. We carried out a series of Q methodological studies with people in the UK who were professionally engaged either with wildlife conservation or with animal welfare, and who had key individual stakeholder roles as cat owners. Participants arranged a set of statements according to their perspectives on roaming and hunting behaviours and on cat husbandry practices. Analysing the two professional groups together, we found three distinct perspectives: ‘Conservationist’, concerned about cat impacts on wildlife populations; ‘Welfarist’, focused on ensuring cat safety and wellbeing, and ‘Liberationist’, prioritising cat behavioural freedom. Analysing responses within the professional groups, however, we found that cat owners from both conservation and welfare organisations held perspectives that had much in common, and either (a) supported active management of roaming and hunting behaviour, (b) tolerated hunting behaviour as either desirable or unavoidable, or (c) were conflicted, supporting outdoor access for cats but expressing concern about hunting behaviour and cat safety. While their priorities may differ, cat owners working as conservation professionals were cognisant of cat welfare considerations, and animal welfare professionals were often also concerned about wildlife, particularly wild animal welfare. We also identified important areas of agreement on night-time confinement and regulation of cat breeding. This research highlights valuable opportunities for constructive dialogue and greater collaborative working among conservation and animal welfare organisations.

    Abstract Background: Understanding the reasons behind non-adherence to clinical practice guidelines is a complex process. Many explanatory models have been proposed that are grounded in qualitative theory. The 2 × 2 matrix has often been used to condense this potentially complex information into a format understandable to clinicians without educational or qualitative backgrounds.
    Methods: The concept of tacit knowledge and its interplay with evidence-based practice is explored and the role of matrices in demonstrating various interactions is defined.
    Results: Two new matrices are proposed to describe how experience and tacit knowledge may determine the outcome of patients, regardless of the evidence base.
    Conclusions: The Rolma 1 and 2 matrices can be used to demonstrate to all clinicians, regardless of their background, how their experiences effect judgements and why junior (and senior) staff may not appear to engage with best practice.

  9. Article ; Online: A qualitative study of self-evaluation of junior doctor performance: is perceived 'safeness' a more useful metric than confidence and competence?

    Abstract Objectives: The terms confidence and competence have been poorly defined and are often misused by junior doctors. Given safe practice relies on healthcare professionals being aware of their own skill sets improving self-assessment of confidence and competence is important. The aim of this work was to explore junior doctors' understanding of how they perceive their own performance in respect of managing feverish children in an emergency department.
    Setting: A children's emergency department in a tertiary hospital in the East Midlands, UK.
    Participants: 22 Junior doctors volunteered to undertake focus groups via a meta-planning methodology over 2 years (14 participants in the first year and 8 in the second).
    Results: Although doctors were aware of the difference between confidence and competence they were not able to distinguish between them in practical terms. The feeling of being 'safe' emerged as a term in which there was a shared understanding compared to reported confidence and competence.
    Conclusions: A perception of 'safeness' is a concept that may aid self-evaluation and we present a matrix that might be used by supervisors and educators to examine this and its relationship with confidence and competence.

    Abstract Abstract Background Technological advances have enabled the widespread use of video cases via web-streaming and online download as an educational medium. The use of real subjects to demonstrate acute pathology should aid the education of health care professionals. However, the methodology by which this effect may be tested is not clear. Methods We undertook a literature review of major databases, found relevant articles relevant to using patient video cases as educational interventions, extracted the methodologies used and assessed these methods for internal and construct validity. Results A review of 2532 abstracts revealed 23 studies meeting the inclusion criteria and a final review of 18 of relevance. Medical students were the most commonly studied group (10 articles) with a spread of learner satisfaction, knowledge and behaviour tested. Only two of the studies fulfilled defined criteria on achieving internal and construct validity. The heterogeneity of articles meant it was not possible to perform any meta-analysis. Conclusions Previous studies have not well classified which facet of training or educational outcome the study is aiming to explore and had poor internal and construct validity. Future research should aim to validate a particular outcome measure, preferably by reproducing previous work rather than adopting new methods. In particular cognitive processing enhancement, demonstrated in a number of the medical student studies, should be tested at a postgraduate level.
