Validation of a 10-item Care-related Regret Intensity Scale (RIS-10) for Health Care Professionals
BACKGROUND: Regret after one of the many decisions and interventions that health care professionals make every day can have an impact on their own health and quality of life, and on their patient care practices. OBJECTIVES: To validate a new care-related regret intensity scale (RIS) for health care professionals. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective cross-sectional cohort study with a 1-month follow-up (test-retest) in a French-speaking University Hosp…
Cancer screening in a middle-aged general population
Attitudes play an important role in cancer screening practices among middle-aged adults in the general population, independent of demographic variables (age and sex) that determine in part screening recommendations. Negative attitudes were the most frequent among men and the most socio-economically disadvantaged. The moderate participation rate raises the possibility of selection bias
Nonresponse Bias in a Survey of Patient Perceptions of Hospital Care
BACKGROUND: Incomplete participation is of particular concern for surveys of patient perceptions of care because patients who have negative opinions may be least likely to participate. OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine indirect evidence of nonresponse bias. DESIGN: We re-analyzed data from a cross-sectional patient survey. SUBJECTS: Our subjects were patients discharged from a Swiss hospital (n = 2156). MEASURES: We measured the following: (1) an o…

Health and happiness in young Swiss adults
Perceived stress, internal resources, and social support as determinants of mental health among young adults
Post-intervention effect of a computer tailored smoking cessation programme
Face to face advice for smoking cessation is effective,1 but few smokers are willing to attend smoking cessation clinics, and many do not receive smoking cessation advice from their physician. Self help smoking cessation materials may not be very effective,2 but computer technology can be used to produce effective individualised self help smoking cessation materials and disseminate them widely at a low cost per participant.2 Most studies assessed…
A Randomized Trial of Four Patient Satisfaction Questionnaires
BACKGROUND: Patient satisfaction surveys are increasingly used by hospitals. Many questionnaires are available, but little evidence exists to guide the choice of the most suitable instrument. OBJECTIVE: To compare the acceptability and patient perceptions of 4 patient satisfaction questionnaires. RESEARCH DESIGN: Randomized trial of 4 satisfaction questionnaires: Picker, Patient Judgment System (PJS), Sequs, and a locally developed Lausanne quest…
Hospitalisation process seen by patients and health care professionals
Comparison of the psychometric properties of the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) among 115 Asthmatic Adults assessed during Acute Hospitalization and as Outpatients
What's wrong with Bonferroni adjustments
Abnormal T cell responses to commensal bacteria are involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. MyD88 is an essential signal transducer for TLRs in response to the microflora. We hypothesized that TLR signaling via MyD88 was important for effector T cell responses in the intestine. TLR expression on murine T cells was examined by flow cytometry. CD4 + CD45Rb high T cells and/or CD4 + CD45Rb low CD25 + regulatory T cells were isola…

Does Sponsorship Matter in Patient Satisfaction Surveys
The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of sponsorship of a mailed satisfaction survey on response patterns and patient satisfaction ratings, and to establish whether satisfaction ratings depend on the timing of response. The study was part of a patient satisfaction survey conducted in a medical group practice in Geneva, Switzerland. All persons who had received an outpatient visit at the medical practice in the last week of September …
