  • Identifying meaningful change on PROMIS short forms in cancer patients

    Open AccessMinji K Lee, John Devin Peipert et al.ARTICLEQuality of Life Research2022

    Applying the two-step criteria demonstrated in this study, we determined how much change is needed to declare reliable change at different levels of baseline scores. We offer reference values for percentage of patients who meaningfully change for investigators using the PROMIS instruments in oncology

  • A Case Management System for Integrating Patient-reported Outcome Assessment in Clinical Practice

    David Zahrieh, Alex Alexander et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2019References: 27

    INTRODUCTION: What if you could only ask one question of the patient during a clinic visit? Further, suppose the patient's biggest concern can pragmatically be incorporated into routine clinical care and clinical pathways that can address the patient's single biggest concern can be identified. If the principal concern can be dealt with efficiently at each visit through key stakeholder case management, positive outcomes should result. Therefore, m…

  • Prepared for what? addressing the disaster readiness gap beyond preparedness for survival

    Open AccessMonica E Gowan, Jeff A Sloan et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    We argue there is an overlooked opportunity to leverage well-being theories and methods from clinical settings and public health practice for the purpose of preventatively boosting disaster readiness and bolstering capacity for long-term resilience. We also highlight our previously-published research indicating a role for integrating personal meaning into preparedness messages. This is an opportune time for applying well-being concepts and practi…

  • Distress Among Matriculating Medical Students Relative to the General Population

    Chantal M L R Brazeau, Tait D Shanafelt et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2014

    PURPOSE: Many medical students experience distress during medical school. If matriculating medical students (MMSs) begin training with similar or better mental health than age-similar controls, this would support existing concerns about the negative impact of training on student well-being. The authors compared mental health indicators of MMSs versus those of a probability-based sample of the general U.S. population. METHOD: In 2012 all MMSs at s…

  • Burnout Among U.S. Medical Students, Residents, and Early Career Physicians Relative to the General U.S. Population

    Liselotte N Dyrbye, Colin P West et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2014

    PURPOSE: To compare the prevalence of burnout and other forms of distress across career stages and the experiences of trainees and early career (EC) physicians versus those of similarly aged college graduates pursuing other careers. METHOD: In 2011 and 2012, the authors conducted a national survey of medical students, residents/fellows, and EC physicians (≤ 5 years in practice) and of a probability-based sample of the general U.S. population. All…

  • Comparison of individual-level versus area-level socioeconomic measures in assessing health outcomes of children in Olmsted County, Minnesota

    Maria R Pardo-Crespo, Nirmala P Narla et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2013Cited by: 3References: 36

    BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic status (SES) is an important determinant of health, but SES measures are frequently unavailable in commonly used datasets. Area-level SES measures are used as proxy measures of individual SES when the individual measures are lacking. Little is known about the agreement between individual-level versus area-level SES measures in mixed urban-rural settings. METHODS: We identified SES agreement by comparing information from …

  • Burnout and Satisfaction With Work-Life Balance Among US Physicians Relative to the General US Population

    Tait D Shanafelt, Sonja Boone et al.ARTICLEA.M.A. Archives of Internal…2012

    BACKGROUND: Despite extensive data about physician burnout, to our knowledge, no national study has evaluated rates of burnout among US physicians, explored differences by specialty, or compared physicians with US workers in other fields. METHODS: We conducted a national study of burnout in a large sample of US physicians from all specialty disciplines using the American Medical Association Physician Masterfile and surveyed a probability-based sa…

  • Development and Initial Testing of a New Socioeconomic Status Measure Based on Housing Data

  • A two-county comparison of the Houses index on predicting self-rated health

    Michael C Butterfield, Mathew Butterfield et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011Cited by: 2References: 34

    BACKGROUND: Mortality, incidence of most diseases, and prevalence of adverse health behaviours follow an inverse gradient with social class. Many proxies for socioeconomic status (SES) exist; however, each bears a different relation to health outcomes, probably following a different aetiological pathway. Additionally, data on SES can be quite difficult to gather. Five measures of SES were compared, including a novel measure, the HOUSES index, in …

  • Burnout and Serious Thoughts of Dropping Out of Medical School

    Liselotte N Dyrbye, Matthew R Thomas et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2010

    PURPOSE: Little is known about students who seriously consider dropping out of medical school. The authors assessed the severity of thoughts of dropping out and explored the relationship of such thoughts with burnout and other indicators of distress. METHOD: The authors surveyed medical students attending five medical schools in 2006 and 2007 (prospective cohort) and included two additional medical schools in 2007 (cross-sectional cohort). The su…

  • Burnout and Medical Errors Among American Surgeons

    Open AccessTait D Shanafelt, Charles M Balch et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Surgery2010

    In Brief Objective: To evaluate the relationship between burnout and perceived major medical errors among American surgeons. Background: Despite efforts to improve patient safety, medical errors by physicians remain a common cause of morbidity and mortality. Methods: Members of the American College of Surgeons were sent an anonymous, cross-sectional survey in June 2008. The survey included self-assessment of major medical errors, a validated depr…

  • Scientific imperatives, clinical implications, and theoretical underpinnings for the investigation of the relationship between genetic variables and patient-reported quality-of-life outcomes

    Open AccessMirjam A G Sprangers, Jeff A Sloan et al.ARTICLEQuality of Life Research2010

    This series of papers provides a path for QOL and genetics researchers to work together to move this field forward and to unravel the intricate interplay of the genetic underpinnings of patient-reported QOL outcomes. The ultimate result will be a greater understanding of the process relating disease, patient, and doctor that will have the potential to lead to improved survival, QOL, and health services delivery

  • Burnout and Suicidal Ideation among U.S. Medical Students

    Open AccessLiselotte N Dyrbye, Matthew R Thomas et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Internal Medicine2008

    BACKGROUND: Little is known about the prevalence of suicidal ideation among U.S. medical students or how it relates to burnout. OBJECTIVE: To assess the frequency of suicidal ideation among medical students and explore its relationship with burnout. DESIGN: Cross-sectional 2007 and longitudinal 2006 to 2007 cohort study. SETTING: 7 medical schools in the United States. PARTICIPANTS: 4287 medical students at 7 medical schools, with students at 5 i…

  • Association of Perceived Medical Errors With Resident Distress and Empathy

    Colin P West, Mashele M Huschka et al.ARTICLEJAMA2006

    CONTEXT: Medical errors are associated with feelings of distress in physicians, but little is known about the magnitude and direction of these associations. OBJECTIVE: To assess the frequency of self-perceived medical errors among resident physicians and to determine the association of self-perceived medical errors with resident quality of life, burnout, depression, and empathy using validated metrics. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Prospecti…

  • Interpretation of Changes in Health-related Quality of Life

    Geoffrey R Norman, Jeff A Sloan et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2003References: 53

    BACKGROUND: A number of studies have computed the minimally important difference (MID) for health-related quality of life instruments. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there is consistency in the magnitude of MID estimates from different instruments. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review of the literature to identify studies that computed an MID and contained sufficient information to compute an effect size (ES). Thirty-eight studies fulfilled…
