Aim: This study assessed the various aspects of marital functioning among the spouses of patients with schizophrenia and recurrent depressive disorder (RDD). Methodology: Spouses were assessed on Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS), Marital Forgiveness Scale, Quality Marriage Index, New Sexual Satisfaction Scale, and Arizona Sexual Experience Questionnaire. Results: Compared to the spouses of patients with RDD, spouses of patients with schizophrenia reported poor marital adjustment (in the consensus and satisfaction domains of DAS), lower quality of marriage, and significantly lower sexual satisfaction. Spouses did not differ significantly on account of marital forgiveness and prevalence of sexual dysfunction. Higher age of onset of schizophrenia in the patients was associated with better quality of marriage as assessed by using quality of marriage scale, better consensus, and satisfaction as per the DAS. Higher residual psychopathology and poor socio-occupational functioning in patients with schizophrenia were associated with poor marital adjustment and sexual satisfaction. Conclusion: To conclude, the present study depicts that the spouses of patients with schizophrenia have poorer marital adjustment and sexual satisfaction, in comparison to the spouses of patients with RDD.

Bu amacı gerçekleştirmek için nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden görüşme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Veriler yedi maarif müfettişinden yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmıştır. Daha sonra veriler içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. İçerik analizi sonucunda maarif müfettişlerinin görüşlerinin “rehberlik görevi ile ilgili görüşler, soruşturma görevi ile ilgili görüşler, rehberlik ve soruşturma görevinin bir arada yürütülmesi ile ilgili görüşler ve denetimin geliştirilmesine ilişkin görüşler” olarak dört ana tema altında toplandığı görülmüştür. Çalışmanın sonucuna göre maarif müfettişlerinin rehberlik görevini yeterince yerine getiremediklerini, soruşturma görevlerini yerine getirirken birçok zorlukla karşılaştıklarını, görev alanlarının birbiriyle çeliştiğini ve denetimin gelişmesi için görev alanlarının birbirinden ayrılması gerektiğini düşündükleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara dayalı olarak müfettişlerin; ders denetimi yapabilmesinin yolunun açılması, soruşturma yaparken bilgi ve belgelere daha kolay ulaşabilmeleri için gerekli yasal düzenlemelerin yapılması, ifade alabilmelerinin kolaylaştırılması için gerekli düzenlemeler yapılması, rehberlik görevleriyle soruşturma görevleri birbirinden ayrılması ve kendileri hakkında oluşan olumsuz ön yargıları kırmak için iletişim becerilerine özen göstermesi gerektiği önerileri getirilmiştir.

Abstract Background: Patients suffering from advanced cancer often loose contact with their primary care physician (PCP) during oncologic treatment and palliative care is introduced very late.The aim of this pilot study was to test the feasibility and procedures for a randomized trial of an intervention to teach PCPs a palliative care approach and communication skills to improve advanced cancer patients’ quality of life. Methods: Observational pilot study in 5 steps. 1) Recruitment of PCPs. 2) Intervention: training on palliative care competencies and communication skills addressing end-of-life issues.3) Recruitment of advanced cancer patients by PCPs. 4) Patients follow-up by PCPs, and assessment of their quality of life by a research assistant 5) Feedback from PCPs using a semi-structured focus group and three individual interviews with qualitative deductive theme analysis.Results: 8 PCPs were trained. PCPs failed to recruit patients for fear of imposing additional loads on their patients. PCPs changed their approach of advanced cancer patients. They became more conscious of their role and responsibility during oncologic treatments and felt empowered to take a more active role picking up patient’s cues and addressing advance directives. They developed interprofessional collaborations for advance care planning. Overall, they discovered the role to help patients to make decisions for a better end-of-life.Conclusions: PCPs failed to recruit advanced cancer patients, but reported a change in paradigm about palliative care. They moved from a focus on helping patients to die better, to a new role helping patients to define the conditions for a better end-of-life.Trial registration : The ethics committee of the canton of Geneva approved the study (2018-00077 Pilot Study) in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki

Abstract Study question Are there any differences relating to the perceived quality of life (QoL) and sexual satisfaction among infertile women? Summary answer There were no differences between women who already had a baby and those who did not relating to the perceived QoL and sexual satisfaction. What is known already Infertility is a medical disease with a high social component with a 16% prevalence. There have been many investigations regarding to the physical part of the infertility but the sexual and marital satisfaction has not been as intensively investigated. The importance of the psychological counseling in fertility treatments has already been proven, but the significance of sexual satisfaction on individual’s perception on QoL has not been as deeply studied. Study design, size, duration A transversal descriptive study was done. 313 heterosexual married women with fertility problems were recruited in collaboration with the Spanish patient association “Red Nacional de Infértiles”. The Fertility quality of life tool (FertiQoL) was selected to measure the perceived QoL and the Index of Sexual Satisfaction (ISS) was chosen to study the degree of sexual satisfaction. The data collection was made between January and February 2020 and all the information was gathered online. Participants/materials, setting, methods 313 women filled the questionnaire which had 4 different modules: A sociodemographic module (sex, age, studies, time trying to conceive, moment of treatment and offspring), two modules for each measurement instrument and a last module in which they could write their personal experiences regarding to the infertility journey. ANOVA and t-Student statistical analyses were done to compare the different independent variables. To see if FertiQoL could explain the sexual satisfaction a regression analysis was made. Main results and the role of chance To achieve 95% power (α = 0.05) and an effect size of 0.25, a minimum sample size of 210 was needed and a sample of 313 women was recruited. There were no statistical differences between women with previous offspring and those who did not in neither of the FertiQoL subscales (Emotional: 7,4 ± 3,884 vs. 7,34 ± 4,235; Mind/Body: 9,65 ± 5,098 vs. 8,66 ± 4,979; Relational: 16,88 ± 4,807 vs. 16,3 ± 4,956; Social: 10,52 ± 5,02 vs. 10,1 ± 4,801; Tolerability: 5,91 ± 4,114 vs. 6,65 ± 3,357; Environment: 12,71 ± 5,02 vs. 11,42 ± 4,963) nor in the ISS questionnaire (47,48 ± 6,488 vs. 47,22 ± 7,35). Regarding to the power of the FertiQoL instrument and the perceived QoL to predict the sexual satisfaction, the regression model showed that the sexual satisfaction could be explained in 26,3% of the cases by the relational and mind/body subscales of the FertiQol tool. This model showed the inherent relationship between marital and personal wellbeing in order to obtain a better sexual satisfaction. Limitations, reasons for caution As the study had a transversal design, no cause-effect relationships could be done. It would be desirable to establish a longitudinal study in order to determine a more accurate relationship between the studied variables. Wider implications of the findings: This study showed that the impact of infertility in women with secondary infertility diagnose could be at least as high as in women with primary infertility diagnose. FertiQoL would be a reasonable instrument to estimate the sexual satisfaction of infertile women. Sexology should be part of the infertility counselling programs.

Model Technique

Health literacy depends on communication skills of health professionals. Assertiveness, clarity, and positivity (ACP) are a communication model/technique very useful to improve the patient-health professional relationship, adherence to treatment, health literacy, and quality of life. This model can be used in medication reconciliation (MR) – the identification of the most precise list of medication that a patient has been taking and should take, which requires a multidisciplinary participation and a better communication between health professionals and between them and the patient. When the guidance from healthcare professionals is clear and effective, patients and caregivers are more compliant to the recommended drug regimen, resulting in better health outcomes.
