Development of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOLTM) Instrument
An exploration of somatization among Asian refugees and immigrants in primary care
The clinical records of Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Laotian, and Mien patients in primary care were reviewed to determine the prevalence of somatization, its associated patient characteristics, and the manifested illness behavior. Patients in this study were generally poor, unemployed, and spoke little English. Somatization accounted for 35 per cent of illness visits. These visits were also more costly. Refugees had a higher rate of somatizati…
A cross-cultural comparison of health status values
The extent to which the values attached to health states are similar in different cultures or social groups is important for understanding health and illness behaviors and for developing standardized health status measures. A cross-cultural study was conducted to compare the health status values obtained in a United States population (Seattle, Washington) with those from another English-speaking culture (London, England) on the Sickness Impact Pr…
Emergency CPR instruction via telephone
We initiated a program of telephone CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) instruction provided by emergency dispatchers to increase the percentage of bystander-initiated CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrests in King County, Washington were studied for 20 months before and after the telephone CPR program began. Bystander-initiated CPR increased from 86 of 191 (45 per cent) cardiac arrests before the program to 143 of 255 (56 per ce…
Fulfillment of patient requests in a general medicine clinic
For initial visits to a longitudinal-care internal medicine clinic, we elicited patients' requests for problems to be addressed, measured patients' assessments of request fulfillment, and determined correlates of request fulfillment. Patients rated all requests as fulfilled in 62 of 71 cases (87 per cent). Fewer pre-encounter patient-reported problems, discretionary features of the doctor-patient encounter including more time spent eliciting hist…
Prescribing CPR
We interviewed 55 cardiologists, internists, and family practitioners to determine attitudes and practices regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) counseling. There was unanimous support for citizen-CPR. However, only 40 per cent of the physicians interviewed recommended CPR training to spouses of patients with coronary heart disease and 42 per cent did not provide counseling about cardiac arrest. This suggests that the doctor's office can …
