Conceptualizing the Core Components of Exposure-Informed Care: A Delphi Quality Improvement Study
BACKGROUND: Environmental exposures are common, may impact health, and may cause concerns. There have been calls to improve clinical care for exposure concerns through an "informed care" approach, which designs care in consideration of the patient's experiences with the concern. Understanding Veterans' experiences and concerns about military environmental exposures through an "informed care" approach may help with care; however, there is a need t…
Health Care Journeys of Veterans With Gulf War Illness
BACKGROUND: There is an acknowledged need to improve care for patients with persistent physical symptoms. Veterans who served in the 1990-91 Gulf War are a subpopulation of U.S. military Veterans who have been struggling with persistent physical symptoms for decades. The current study sought to characterize Veterans' historic path through the health care system and current experience of care to identify opportunities to improve care. METHODS: Ana…
She thought the same way I that I thought: ’ A qualitative study of patient-provider concordance among Gulf War Veterans with Gulf War Illness
Objective: Medically unexplained symptoms (MUS), such as chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, and Gulf War Illness (GWI), are difficult to treat. Concordance—shared understanding between patient and provider about illness causes, course, and treatment—is an essential component of high-quality care for people with MUS. This qualitative paper focuses on the experiences of United States military Veterans living with GWI who have endur…
US military veterans’ perceived concordance with their providers regarding persistent physical symptoms prospectively predicts satisfaction with care and adherence to care plans
BACKGROUND: Medically unexplained, persistent physical symptoms and syndromes are commonly seen in primary care. These are debilitating for patients and difficult to treat, causing frustration for patients and providers. PURPOSE: This study investigates how well US military veterans with multiple persistent physical symptoms (PPS), called Gulf War illness (GWI), agree with their healthcare providers about their illness. This agreement, called per…
Resonance-Paced Breathing Alters Neural Response to Visual Cues: Proof-of-Concept for a Neuroscience-Informed Adjunct to Addiction Treatments
Conscious attempts to regulate alcohol and drug use are often undermined by automatic attention and arousal processes that are activated in the context of salient cues. Response to these cues involves body and brain signals that are linked via dynamic feedback loops, yet no studies have targeted the cardiovascular system as a potential conduit to alter automatic neural processes that maintain cue salience. This proof-of-concept study examined wit…
