Objective: To explore professionals', adult patients', and children's caregivers' perception and satisfaction with telerehabilitation during COVID-19 lockdown.Design: An observational transversal study on a web-based survey was conducted in order to explore participants' perception and satisfaction of telerehabilitation during COVID-19 lockdown.Setting: The study was conducted at our Outpatient Neurorehabilitation Service.Subjects: All rehabilitation professionals, adult patients, and children's caregivers who accepted telerehabilitation were recruited.Interventions: Participants had to respond to the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 and to a purpose-built questionnaire on their perception and satisfaction of the service provided.Main Measures: Data were analyzed by qualitative statistics and logistic regression models.Results: All 144 caregivers, 25 adult patients, and 50 professionals reported a medium-high level of perception and a high level of satisfaction. Results showed a correlation among caregivers of children aged 0–3 and feeling overwhelmed with remote care (OR = 3.27), a low perception of telerehabilitation for enhancing goals (OR = 6.51), and a high perception of feeling helped in organizing daily activity (OR = 2.96). For caregivers of children aged over 6 years, changes in the therapy plan were related to a low perception of feeling in line with the in-person therapy (OR = 2.61 and OR = 9.61) and a low satisfaction (OR = 5.54 and OR = 4.97). Changes in therapy were related to concern (OR = 4.20). Caregivers under 40 and professionals showed a high probability to perceive telerehabilitation as supportive (OR = 2.27 and OR = 5.68). Level of experience with remote media was shown to influence perception and satisfaction.Interpretation: Telerehabilitation can be a useful practice both during a health emergency and in addition to in-presence therapy.

6061 Background: A web-based survey of attitudes and awareness of Ca surv towards CCT was performed from 3–4, 2005. The survey instrument was developed jointly by the Coalition of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG) and Northwestern Univ (NU) and executed by NU and Knowledge Networks (KN). Methods: Ca surv were obtained from a panel of 40,000 adults through KN, based on a US households national probability sample who agree to weekly surveys in exchange for a free WebTV box and ISP service. 2,029 panel members reported a cancer diagnosis. 1,788/2,029 (88%) agreed to participate. Results: Ten-percent of Ca surv were aware that CCT participation was an option. In 73%, a physician was the source of the CCT awareness. Awareness was related to time since diagnosis (< 9 yrs vs > 9yrs); gender (females > males); age (younger > older), and education (baccalaureate vs less). Awareness varied according to cancer type: leukemia, 26%; breast, 15%; lymphoma and lung, 14%; prostate, 12%; melanoma and renal cell, 10%; colorectal and bladder; 6–3%. Awareness was dependent (p < .01) on type of treatment: surgery 5% (n, 880); surgery and RT, 7% (n, 181); RT, 10% (n, 107); chemotherapy, 18% (n, 488). Of the last group, 44% enrolled into CCT; 33% declined and 11% were either ineligible or not offered a CCT. Those who declined were concerned that the new approach might be “less effective” (40%) and about “randomization” (18%). CCT Ca surv reported a high level of satisfaction on a 0 (worst) to 10 (best) scale: “treated with dignity and respect”, 9.6; “overall very positive experience”, 9.3; “recommend to a family member or friend”, 8.8. Conversely, the response to “I felt like a guinea pig” was 1.7. Conclusions: In summary, assessing issues such as awareness, participation and accrual onto CCT must adjust for key demographic, disease and treatment related factors. The CCT experience is valued and appreciated by Ca surv as they move the field forward. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the psychological aspects of adult patients who sought and underwent orthodontic treatment, evaluating their expectations and discomfort during treatment, as well as their satisfaction after completion of dental movement. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Data obtained from previous published papers, and also from questionnaires answered by 54 patients, showed that adult patients stood out for their attention to details and high interest in the esthetic improvements provided by treatment, and also for a greater perception of their initial malocclusion. On the other hand, the same data showed that adult patients, once informed about the limitations of their treatment and having confidence on the orthodontist, presented a high level of satisfaction with treatment results, revealing themselves as good patients for indication and execution of orthodontic procedures.

The Electro-Neuro-Adaptive-Regulator (ENAR) device is a hand-held electrotherapy which is applied using energetic medicine principles and aspects of acupuncture theory. The aim of this paper is to report the findings of a postmarket survey of persons who have used the ENAR device. The conditions for which the therapy was used and its perceived effectiveness are discussed. A web-based survey of Australian recipients of ENAR therapy was completed by 481 respondents. Most (76%) used ENAR exclusively for pain relief for musculoskeletal disorders, especially back, shoulder, and neck pain; 8% used ENAR exclusively for nonmusculoskeletal disorders; while 16% used ENAR for both. Respondents reported a mean reduction in pain of 70% (t(423) = 38.73,P<.001) and functional improvement of 62% (t(423) = 10.45,P<.001) using 11-point numerical rating scales. Following ENAR treatment, medication reduction was reported by 91% of respondents. Most respondents reported high satisfaction following ENAR therapy, with between 15 and 20% achieving complete pain relief. The self-delivery of ENAR may, in part, account for the high level of satisfaction.

The Impact

According to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, medical teleconsultations using various technologies have become an important tool to mediate communication between general practitioners (GP) and the patients in primary health care in many countries. The quality of the GP-patient communication is an essential factor, which improves the results of treatment and patient satisfaction. The objective of this paper is to study patients’ satisfaction from teleconsultation in primary care and the impact of teleconsultations on GP-patient communication through the Covid-19 pandemic in Poland. We analyse whether the teleconsultations performed without physical examinations have a positive impact on GP-patient communication. The quality of teleconsultation and GP-patient communication have been measured using a questionnaire regarding the quality of medical care in a remote care conditions. Among 36 items, nine questions have been related to the dimension of GP-patient communication and ten to system experience. Our results suggest that the quality of teleconsultations is not inferior to the quality of consultation during a face-to-face visit. The patients indicated a high level of satisfaction regarding communication with their GP during teleconsultation. We have also identified that the technical quality and the sense of comfort during teleconsultation positively impact the communication quality.

Background: Candidemia is the most common nosocomial invasive fungal infection that causes high mortality. Emergence of drug-resistant Candida is reported worldwide but there are few studies in Thailand. Objective: To determine the epidemiology, antifungal susceptibility of Candida, and outcomes among adult patients with candidemia. Materials and Methods: A prospective, observational study in adult patients with candidemia was conducted in 2015 at a university hospital. Demographic, microbiological, and outcome data were recorded. Results: Fifty-two patients with candidemia were identified, of whom 76.9% had an underlying disease and 69.2% had risks for candidemia. Sixty-four percent of candidemia patients contracted non-albicans Candida and 36% had Candida albicans. C. tropicalis was the most common non-albicans Candida species isolated (35%), followed by C. parapsilosis (19%), and C. glabrata (10%). Fluconazole resistance was found in 12.5% of C. albicans and in 11.1% of C. parapsilosis isolates. Reduced fluconazole susceptibility or high-level fluconazole resistance was found in 68.7% of C. tropicalis isolates. All except C. parapsilosis had excellent susceptibility to echinocandins. Seventy-three percent (38/52) of patients received antifungal treatment, of whom, 78.9% received empiric fluconazole therapy, and 89.7% were started on antifungal treatment 24 hours after the isolation of Candida. The overall mortality rate was 51.9%. Conclusion: Fluconazole-resistant Candida became more prevalent particularly in C. tropicalis, which was the predominant species among non-albicans Candida causing candidemia. Empiric treatment with either amphotericin B or echinocandins would be appropriate in high-risk patients with suspected candidemia.

There is a growing body of literature that recognizes the importance of applying gamification in educational settings. This research developed an application to gamify students’ homework to address the concern of the students’ inability to complete their homework. This research aims to investigate students’ performance in doing their homework, and reflections and perceptions of the gameful experience in gamified homework exercises. Based on the data gathered from experimental and control groups (N = 84) via learning analytics, survey, and interview, the results show a high level of satisfaction according to students’ feedback. The most noticeable finding to extract from the analysis is that students can take on a persona, earn points, and experience a deeper sense of achievement through doing the gamified homework. Moreover, the students, on the whole, are likely to be intrinsically motivated whenever the homework is attributed to factors under their own control, when they consider that they have the expertise to be successful learners to achieve their desired objectives, and when they are interested in dealing with the homework for learning, not just achieving high grades.
