Veterans Affairs and Rural Community Providers’ Perspectives on Interorganizational Care Coordination
OBJECTIVE: To investigate challenges in care coordination between US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) clinics and community providers serving rural veterans. METHODS: We completed qualitative interviews in 2017-2018 with a geographically diverse sample of 57 VA and community staff. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. We used Rapid Qualitative Inquiry (RQI) to guide analyses. RESULTS: Results suggested 5 pivotal domains rel…
Motherhood, pregnancy and gateways to intervene in substance use disorder
Motherhood increases women's use of health and social services, presenting opportunities to identify and refer women with substance use disorder (SUD) to treatment. We pooled 4 years (2015-2018) of cross-sectional data from National Survey on Drug Use and Health on women of child-bearing age (18-44) in the United States (n = 64,346). (1) We compared the use of services (health, social and criminal justice involvement) by SUD and 'motherhood' (pre…
‘The thing is not knowing’
BACKGROUND: The hundreds of thousands of patients found to have a potentially malignant pulmonary nodule each year are faced with tremendous uncertainty regarding what the nodule is and how it should be evaluated. OBJECTIVE: To explore patients' responses to the detection and evaluation of a pulmonary nodule. DESIGN: Qualitative study based on four focus-group discussions. We performed inductive analysis using principles of grounded theory to ide…

Resolute efforts to cure hepatitis C
Antiviral treatment for hepatitis C is usually difficult, demanding, and debilitating and has long offered modest prospects of successful cure. Most people who may need treatment have faced stigma of an illness associated with drug and alcohol misuse and thus may be deemed poor candidates for treatment, while completing a course of treatment typically calls for resolve and responsibility. Patients' efforts and their reasons for completing treatme…

Racial Differences in Cardiac Catheterization as a Function of Patients’ Beliefs
Objectives. We examined racial differences in cardiac catheterization rates and reviewed whether patients’ beliefs or other variables were associated with observed disparities. Methods. We did a prospective observational cohort study of 1045 White and African American patients at 5 Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers whose nuclear imaging studies indicated reversible cardiac ischemia. Results. There were few demographic differences between Whit…
Measuring Patientsʼ Perceptions of the Outcomes of Treatment for Early Prostate Cancer
BACKGROUND: Compared with careful attention to the physical (eg, urinary, bowel, sexual) dysfunction that may follow treatment, little attention has been given to the behavioral, emotional, and interpersonal changes that the diagnosis of early prostate cancer and subsequent physical dysfunction may bring. OBJECTIVE: To construct patient-centered measures of the outcomes of treatment for early prostate cancer. RESEARCH DESIGN: Qualitative study fo…
Racial Differences in Health-Related Beliefs, Attitudes, and Experiences of VA Cardiac Patients
OBJECTIVES: To deternine whether there are racial differences in patients' health-related attitudes, beliefs, and experiences regarding invasive cardiac procedures, and to develop psychometrically and conceptually valid scales and single items to assess these dimensions. METHODS: A survey was designed and administered to 854 white and black patients with ischemic heart disease at five VA medical centers. Patients were queried about the domains pr…
Racial Differences in How Patients Perceive Physician Communication Regarding Cardiac Testing
OBJECTIVES: Recent studies documenting racial variation in the use of cardiac procedures highlight the need to understand if there are racial differences in processes of communication and decision making. Investigations of patients' perceptions of their interaction with providers regarding cardiac testing were conducted. METHODS: Four focus groups were convened with 13 patients who had undergone cardiac stress testing with positive results, strat…
Symptom Indexes to Assess Outcomes of Treatment for Early Prostate Cancer
Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients Served by the Department of Veterans Affairs
BACKGROUND: The Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care System (VA) is the largest integrated single payer system in the United States. To date, there has been no systematic measurement of health status in the VA. The Veterans Health Study has developed methods to assess patient-based health status in ambulatory populations. OBJECTIVES: To describe the health status of veterans and examine the relationships between their health-related quality…
Comparing Generic and Disease-Specific Measures of Physical and Role Functioning
OBJECTIVES: This study compared the performance of generic measures of Medical Outcome Study Short Form 36-Item Health Survey physical functioning and role limitations with disease-specific measures of physical functioning and role limitations using specific disease attributions for chronic lung disease, chronic low back pain, and osteoarthritis of the knee. METHODS: Data were analyzed from the Veterans Health Study among patients receiving Veter…

Self-Report Measures for Assessing Treatment Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery Patients
Patient self-report measures are increasingly valued as outcome variables in health services research studies. In this article, the authors describe the Functional Status, Health Related Quality of Life, Life Satisfaction, and Patient Satisfaction scales included in the Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Cardiac Surgery (PSOCS) cooperative study underway within the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system. In addition to reporting on…

Attending to patients' stories
Communication between patients and physicians is currently a significant topic in medical training programmes and in research on clinical practice. Physicians are encouraged, for example, to attend to patients' stories as ways of providing their concerns and understandings of their illnesses. However, there is little research on how storytelling is actually accomplished in the context of clinical encounters. Drawing on studies of medical discours…
