心理咨询门诊与普通专科门诊抽样对照分析

目的调查本院心理咨询门诊与普通专科门诊就诊疾病谱的差异,了解两者在精神分裂症治疗上的差异以及对预后的影响。方法以1/20抽取1995～2002年间的门诊病例进行统计分析,其中心理咨询门诊病例79份,普通专科门诊病例143份。自行设计表格对就诊者的性别、年龄、初诊诊断和服药、住院情况进行统计,比较两者就诊疾病谱的差异,以及两者在精神分裂症治疗上的差异和对预后的影响。结果(1)心理咨询门诊就诊者以心境障碍和神经症为主(分别达25%和27%),普通专科门诊以精神分裂症为主(48%,t=14．66,P＜0．005)；(2)在精神分裂症的治疗上,心理咨询门诊第二代抗精神病药(SGAs)的应用率较高(50%vs 14%,P＜0．005),两处就诊者的预后也存在差异。结论心理咨询门诊与普通专科门诊在初诊中存在一定的分工；两者对精神分裂症治疗存在差异,这种差异可能直接导致精神分裂症的预后,我国有待建立规范的精神分裂症治疗指南；全社会对非重性精神疾病的重视程度仍有待加强。     

Ethnic minorities in British diabetic clinics: a questionnaire survey

A questionnaire was sent by the British Diabetic Association to hospital consultant physicians caring for diabetic patients in the UK to estimate the number of ethnic minority patients attending British Diabetic clinics, and the availability of special facilities for their care. Sixty-two clinics were estimated to have at least 50 Asian patients, and 25 had at least 200 Asian patients. For Afro-Caribbeans the corresponding figures were 33 and 14 clinics, respectively. Clinics serving a relatively high proportion of these patient groups were situated primarily in Greater London, the Midlands and the North West. Approximately 40% of clinics with over 50 Asians had no specifically adapted diet sheets, and 34% had no hospital interpreter service. Tapes, slides or video presentations were available in only eight clinics. There is an urgent need to improve the provision of special facilities to clinics with substantial numbers of ethnic minority patients.

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas. Clinico-pathologic study of 168 cases diagnosed according to the R.E.A.L. Classification

Background: One hundred sixty-eight peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs)were reviewed according to the Revised European–American Lymphoma (R.E.A.L.)Classification.Patients and methods: The cases, originally diagnosed on the basis of theUpdated Kiel Classification (UKC), were all provided with histologicalpreparations, immunophenotype, clinical information, and follow-up data. Theslides were reclassified by five observers, who integrated the R.E.A.Lcriteria with cell size measurements. The prognostic value of clinical andpathologic findings was assessed by univariate and multivariate analysis.Results: The R.E.A.L. Classification was reproducibly applied by all of theobservers. Clinically, anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCLs) differed fromthe remaining PTCLs by mean age (29.5 vs. 52.9 years), bulky disease(52.3% vs. 11.3%; P = 0.000), mediastinal mass (52.7% vs.32%; P = 0.004), and disease-free survival (68.0% vs.38.2%; P = 0.0001). Although each histological type displayed specificclinical aspects, PTCLs other than ALCL were basically characterised by a poorclinical outcome which was not influenced by the UKC malignancy grade. Atmultivariate analysis, the risk of a lower complete remission rate was relatedto bulky disease (P = 0.001), histologic group (non-ALCL) (P = 0.01), andadvanced stage (III–IV) (P = 0.0002).Conclusions: The present study supports the classification of T-celllymphomas proposed by the R.E.A.L. scheme.     

Medical students in ENT outpatient clinics: appointment times, patient satisfaction and student satisfaction

OBJECTIVES: Outpatient clinics are increasingly important in medical education. The effect of students on clinic times and patient satisfaction, as well as their own satisfaction, were studied. DESIGN: A prospective, non-randomized, controlled study using adult patient questionnaires, medical student questionnaires and clinic time sheets. SETTING: Two teaching hospital ENT clinics. SUBJECTS: Medical students and adult patients. RESULTS: Three hundred and twenty-five patient questionnaires were collected (77% response), including 135 student encounters. Students did not affect appointment durations (19 min +/- 0.48 (standard error)) except at centre B (35 min +/- 1.1, P < 0.0001) where patient numbers were cut for teaching. Patient satisfaction, generally high, was not affected by students, appointment duration or gender of doctor or patient. It was slightly higher in the lower social classes (rs = 0.20, P = 0. 003) and older patients (rs = 0.17, P = 0.002). Student acceptability scores were not affected by student numbers (up to four), social class or time spent alone with students. They were higher if time was spent alone with the doctor (75.3% +/- 4.9) than not (63.0% +/- 1.8, P = 0.024). Thirty-six per cent of patients preferred to have a student present; only 9% preferred not. Student satisfaction was higher at centre B (73.7% +/- 2.3) where appointments were longer and students spent more time alone with patients than centre A (64.3% +/- 2.3, P = 0.0052). CONCLUSIONS: Clinic appointments are not necessarily longer in the presence of students. When students have the chance to see patients alone during longer consultations, student satisfaction is higher. Patient satisfaction, generally high, is not altered by the presence of students, but patients given time alone with their doctor are more accepting of students. These findings have resource implications for the planning of NHS clinics in teaching hospitals.     

A study of the provision of health checks and health-promotion clinics in 18 general practices

Summary

• ? The objective of this study was to describe the variation in provision of health checks and health-promotion clinics operating under the regulations of the 1990 Contract for general practice in the UK.
• ? Eighteen group practices in three Family Health Service Authority (FHSA) areas of England (two in the South West Thames region and one in the Yorkshire region) were selected for the study. The nurses, largely responsible for the implementation of the health checks at these practices, were interviewed using semi-structured interview schedules. They were asked about age-groups targeted, means of recruiting patients for clinics, duration of clinic appointments, and procedures carried out in clinics.
• ? All practices offered health checks, and 55% had started doing so before introduction of the 1990 Contract. Recruitment for health checks took place in a number of ways: self-referral (83% of practices); opportunistically in those with coronary heart disease risk factors (78%); opportunistically during attendance for cervical smears (62%); screening in at least one patient group (78%). Blood pressure, height, weight, urinalysis and life-style advice were included by all practices. Stress management and quit smoking strategies were offered only by a minority of practices. Duration of first health-check appointment ranged between 15 and 30 minutes.
• ? The basic content of health checks, and life-style advice given appeared consistent between the widely varying practices. However, the resources available for intervention and follow up showed more variation.

Clinical and cost effectiveness of nurse-led self-management interventions for patients with copd in primary care: A systematic review

Background and objectiveChronic obstructive pulmonary disease is increasing in prevalence and constitutes a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. As well as contributing to a significant decline in health status in many patients, this condition creates a considerable burden on healthcare providers. Self-management interventions are frequently implemented in community settings to limit the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on everyday life of individuals and to manage pressure on health systems. Nurses are the most likely professional group to provide self-management support. This systematic review aims to evaluate the clinical and cost effectiveness of nurse-led self-management for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in primary care.DesignA systematic review was conducted to identify randomized controlled studies comparing nurse-led self-management interventions to usual careData sourcesSeven electronic databases, including British Nursing Index, MEDLINE, CINAHL, AMED, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and NHS Economic Evaluation Database, were searched for relevant studies.Review methodsThe Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist was used to guide the structure of the review. The relevance of citations was assessed based on inclusion criteria, with full texts retrieved as required to reach a decision. Data extraction was performed independently by two reviewers. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to undertake a quality review. A narrative summary method was used to describe review findings.ResultsTwenty-six articles describing 20 randomised controlled trials were included in the analysis. Self-management interventions were heterogeneous, with a variable number of components, level of support, mode of delivery and length of follow up. The review demonstrated that nurse-led self-management programmes may be associated with reductions in anxiety and unscheduled physician visits and increases in self-efficacy, but definitive conclusions could not be reached. Few studies addressed economic outcomes and the diverse perspectives, time frames and settings made comparisons difficult. Evidence on cost-effectiveness was inconclusive.ConclusionsSome nurse-led self-management programmes in this systematic review produced beneficial effects in terms of reducing unscheduled physician visits, lowering patients’ anxiety and increasing self-efficacy, but there is insufficient evidence to reach firm conclusions on the clinical or cost-effectiveness of the interventions. Further research should aim to identify the optimal components of these programmes and to identify those patients most likely to benefit. The inclusion of economic analyses in future studies would facilitate decisions by policy makers on the implementation of self-management interventions.
