Defining Patient-Oriented Research For The Average Person (And Potential Research Partner), Dennis J. Baumgardner
Defining Patient-Oriented Research For The Average Person (And Potential Research Partner), Dennis J. Baumgardner
Dennis J. Baumgardner, MD
In this introduction to the first issue of 2019, the editor-in-chief of Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews offers additional context to the findings of Kaur and Pluye (p. 7), who methodically formalized an operational definition of patient-oriented research for the purposes of searching bibliographic databases. A possible succinct, lay definition of patient-oriented research for the average “person on the street” is proposed.
Patient Self-Management: Tools And Barriers, Dennis J. Baumgardner
Patient Self-Management: Tools And Barriers, Dennis J. Baumgardner
Dennis J. Baumgardner, MD
In his issue introduction, the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews comments on the theme of patient self-management of chronic diseases and the related articles published therein. Illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, epilepsy, arthritis, asthma, and obesity often require patients to administer their own medication daily or adhere to strict dietary restrictions. Progress is being made on the process of implementation and evaluation of patient self-management tools in primary care practices. Barriers to self-management tool implementations in clinics, as well as their use by individual patients, must be understood and addressed.

The Value In Verifying Medical Folklore, Dennis J. Baumgardner
The Value In Verifying Medical Folklore, Dennis J. Baumgardner
Dennis J. Baumgardner, MD
Citing a related article published within this issue of the Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews, the author opines on why traditional ideas regarding human health can persist over decades, and even centuries, despite a lack of scientifically accumulated evidence. It is important to keep in mind that some commonly accepted truths are supported by little to no factual data, and that occasionally patients may benefit from clarification on what is (or, often, is not) actually known about longstanding “rules of thumb” (eg, certain home remedies, disease-prevention measures or behavioral concerns). On the flip side, traditions that are shown to …

Objective: To assess perceived breastfeeding confidence (BFC) and determine barriers in regards to BF in an urban population. Methods: The Breastfeeding Personal Efficacy Beliefs Inventory (BPEBI) was used to determine perceived BFC. The survey was distributed to 271 women during prenatal appointments at an urban Milwaukee …
