This study aimed to determine the prevalence of severe and critical COVID-19 at admission in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, …

Chronic Post-Mastectomy Pain: Insights Into Mechanisms, Prevention, And Treatment Approaches, Abdulaziz H. Algain

Journal of Medical Rehabilitation Science

Chronic post-mastectomy pain (CPMP) is a prevalent and significant concern for many breast cancer surgery patients, affecting between 25% and 60% of females within the first year after surgery. This multifactorial condition arises from a combination of peripheral nerve injury, central sensitization, and immune-mediated inflammation. Although no single intervention can fully prevent CPMP, a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach that addresses the biological, psychological, and social aspects of pain is crucial for enhancing the quality of life for breast cancer survivors. It is often underrecognized by clinicians, who may attribute pain to the expected postoperative recovery process, while patients sometimes accept discomfort …

Effect Of The Senior Clinical Practicum On Baccalaureate Nursing Student Self-Efficacy, Allyson N. Mattingly

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Capstones

While nursing shortages are increasing and nurses are reporting higher rates of burnout and job-related stress, it is critical that educators in pre-licensure nursing programs identify strategies to better prepare novice nurses for entering the workforce. Using Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory as a framework, this study sought to investigate whether a senior clinical practicum experience increases general and nursing competence self-efficacy, which may indicate better ability to cope in the face of adversity. This study was a quantitative one-group pretest-posttest design, investigating undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students from accredited institutions in Kentucky. Results suggest that the clinical …

A Randomized Study Of Digital Versus Genetic Counselor Return Of Actionable Genetic Research Results To Biobank Participants (Respect3 Study), Anuja Rajendra Godbole, Elisabeth Wood, Brian Egleston, Lily Hoffman-Andrews, Sarah Brown, Sarah Howe, Sanjana Shastri, Rajia Mim, Justin Feng, Anjali Owens, Susan Domchek, Reed Pyeritz, Bryson Katona, Staci Kallish, Giorgio Sirugo, Joellen Weaver, Linda Fleisher, Kuang-Yi Wen, Elena Elkin, Katherine Nathanson, Daniel Rader, Angela Bradbury

Department of Medical Oncology Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: There is consensus that research participants should be informed about plans for return of genetic research results. However, best practices for return of results in large biobank and cohort studies do not exist currently, and how best to communicate actionable genetic research results remains unclear. While having genetic counselors disclose these results may be ideal to ensure understanding, minimize distress, and optimize medical follow-up, genetic counselor (GC) workforce shortages and costs are barriers. The RESPECT3 study evaluates whether digital delivery alternatives for pre-disclosure education and return of actionable genetic research results is non-inferior to remote telehealth disclosure by a …

Determining A Likely Mechanism Of Missingness In Repeated Measures Sleep Data From Wearable Fitness Trackers: Longitudinal Analysis, Kate Mobley, Kevin B. Gittner, Karen Nielsen, Lauren Matheny, Gita Taasoobshirazi, Charles Natuhamya, Monica H. Swahn

Faculty Articles

Background: Wearable fitness trackers have become a valuable tool in public health research due to their ability to collect large-scale, individual-level data at a low cost. Because of this, wearables have the potential to mitigate the urgent need for health research in low-resource settings. However, their use has been largely limited to high-income settings, and a major challenge remains: high rates of missing data. This problem may be exacerbated in low-resource environments where logistical and operational barriers further complicate data collection. Wearable sleep data collected in an urban informal settlement in Uganda during The Onward Project on Well-being and Adversity …
