Incorporating Patient Concerns Into Discharge Plans: Evaluation Of A Patient-Generated Checklist, Karen A. Grimmer, Lauren R. Dryden, Runthip Puntumetakul, Alexander F. Young, Michelle Guerin, Yamini Deenadayalan, John R. Moss
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Background: This paper reports on the effectiveness of a checklist that assists patients to transition safely and sustainably from hospital to home. Methods: Medical wards in three tertiary public hospitals in metropolitan Adelaide provided subjects during 2004. Eligible patients were English-literate and aged at least 60 years, provided written informed consent and had an unplanned hospital admission for a new medical condition. Data was excluded post-hoc if subjects had another hospital readmission for the same condition within seven days of discharge. The study had a quasi-experimental study design in which each hospital acted as its own control. In each hospital, …

Amaurosis Fugax- A Clinical Review, Michael Bacigalupi
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Amaurosis fugax is a transient visual disturbance that is typically caused by a circulatory, ocular, or neurological underlying condition. Patients with amaurosis fugax are at risk for stroke, myocardial infarction, vision loss and other serious consequences. A thorough case history, careful clinical and ocular examination and appropriate systemic testing will lead to the best possible outcome for these at-risk patients.
Bioterrorism: Cases When Public Health Agencies Should Have Sweeping Powers, Judith Watkins
Bioterrorism: Cases When Public Health Agencies Should Have Sweeping Powers, Judith Watkins
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
The dispersal of anthrax spores in October 2001 showed Americans that they are vulnerable to bioterrorism. The ineffective response to bioterrorism demonstrates that public health agencies do not have plans or training exercises in place to deal with this emerging threat. Although the CDC asked that the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MSEHPA or Model Act) be drafted to prepare the states for these emerging risks, critics like George Annas assert that the acts are “blatantly unconstitutional” (MSEHPA,2005,p.1). In this paper, I intend to explore the conflict between individual rights and sweeping powers of public health agencies as described …

A Descriptive Study Of Athletic Training Students Perception Of Effective Mentoring Roles., William A. Pitney, Grey Ethlers, Stacy Walker
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Context: Mentoring relationships are commonly thought to promote the learning of a professional role. Mentors can perform a variety of roles and possess many different personal characteristics, but there is limited literature related to athletic training students’ perceptions of effective mentoring roles and characteristics. Objective: To explore who athletic training students identify as a mentor and describe the students’ perceptions of the mentoring role and personal characteristics. Design: An online survey was used to collect students’ perceptions. Setting: The study was initiated from a large mid-western university and included a national sample of athletic training students with published e-mail addresses. …

The False Wisdom Of Tuition Based Ranking Of Allied Health Programs: Is Your Program Affordable?, Tamara L. Little
The False Wisdom Of Tuition Based Ranking Of Allied Health Programs: Is Your Program Affordable?, Tamara L. Little
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Purpose: The purpose of this analysis was to investigate the extent to which the ranking of programs based on total tuition cost changes when housing and program length were added to total tuition. Method: To accomplish this, the cost of tuition at 13 physical therapist education programs was compiled. Programs were ranked from most expensive to least expensive. The costs associated with housing, program length, and lost opportunity to earn wages were then added to total tuition. Programs were again ranked from most expensive to least expensive. Results: Regional differences in the cost of living and the total length of …
Electronic Clinical Records For Physiotherapists, Christine Barry, Mark Jones, Karen Grimmer
Electronic Clinical Records For Physiotherapists, Christine Barry, Mark Jones, Karen Grimmer
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Purpose: This pilot study compared traditional (paper-based) and electronic (computerized) clinical physiotherapy records. The content of the records and the software’s user acceptability were considered. Methods: A neuro-musculoskeletal patient scenario involving two encounters (initial and follow-up) was scripted and role-played to each of three experienced physiotherapists (A, B and C). Participants assessed the patient and made traditional clinical records. After basic training in an electronic record system, they repeated the assessments and made electronic records via a laptop computer. Three experienced physiotherapists (A, D and E) each used their usual method to write a clinical report and an electronic record …

Incorporating Patient And Carer Concerns In Discharge Plans: The Development Of A Practical Patient-Centred Checklist, Karen Grimmer, John Moss, Julie Moss, Helen Kindness
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Discharge plans should include prompts for patients and their families to identify key concerns regarding their ability to undertake practical activities of daily living post-discharge. During a six month series of post-discharge interviews, elderly recently ill patients and their carers identified concerns about managing on leaving the hospital, encompassing transport home from hospital, gaining entry to their home, having appropriate food and effective heating or cooling available immediately post-discharge, obtaining assistance in managing their home and family responsibilities, navigating around their house, accessing their General Medical Practitioner, going shopping, paying bills and regaining social contacts. Few of these concerns were …
Cultural Sensitivity Beyond Ethnicity: A Universal Precautions Model, Deborah Dysart Gale
Cultural Sensitivity Beyond Ethnicity: A Universal Precautions Model, Deborah Dysart Gale
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Cross-cultural healthcare research has grown exponentially in recent years, focusing primarily on the healthcare-related needs of ethnic and linguistic minorities. However, by approaching cultural sensitivity from an ethnic/linguistic perspective, the practitioner runs the risk of relying on essentialized or stereotyped accounts of cultural groups, as well as overlooking the needs of other groups (e.g., gays, elderly, physically challenged) that may validly be viewed as cultures and profitably studied with the tools of cross-cultural scholarship. This essay argues that Hofstede’s paradigm of cultural dimensions can serve as a useful foundation for providing culturally sensitive care following the model of Universal Precautions …
