Assessing the quality of interdisciplinary rounds in the intensive care unit.

J Crit Care. 2013 Aug;28(4):476-82

Abstract
PURPOSE: Interdisciplinary rounds (IDRs) in the intensive care unit (ICU) are increasingly recommended to support quality improvement, but uncertainty exists about assessing the quality of IDRs. We developed, tested, and applied an instrument to assess the quality of IDRs in ICUs.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Delphi rounds were done to analyze videotaped patient presentations and elaborated together with previous literature search. The IDR Assessment Scale was developed, statistically tested, and applied to 98 videotaped patient presentations during 22 IDRs in 3 ICUs for adults in 2 hospitals in Groningen, The Netherlands.
RESULTS: The IDR Assessment Scale had 19 quality indicators, subdivided in 2 domains: “patient plan of care” and “process.” Indicators were “essential” or “supportive.” The interrater reliability of 9 videotaped patient presentations among at least 3 raters was satisfactory (κ = 0.85). The overall item score correlations between 3 raters were excellent (r = 0.80-0.94). Internal consistency in 98 videotaped patient presentations was acceptable (α = .78). Application to IDRs demonstrated that indicators could be unambiguously rated.
CONCLUSIONS: The quality of IDRs in the ICU can be reliably assessed for patient plan of care and process with the IDR Assessment Scale.

The interplay between partners’ responsiveness and patients’ need for emotional expression in couples coping with cancer.

J Behav Med. 2013 Oct 10;

Authors: Dagan M, Sanderman R, Hoff C, Meijerink WJ, Baas PC, van Haastert M, Hagedoorn M

Abstract
The central aim of this longitudinal observational study was to test whether patients with a high need for emotional expression are especially sensitive to their partners’ responsive behavior, and therefore at risk for depressive symptoms when responsiveness is withheld. Patients with colorectal cancer and their partners (n = 58) participated in a longitudinal study (3, 5 and 9 months after the diagnosis). Additionally to self-report measurements (i.e., patients’ need for emotional expression, patients’ depressive symptoms and patients’ relationship satisfaction) couples were videotaped discussing cancer-related concerns. External observers coded partners’ responsiveness (i.e., understanding, validation and caring) and patients’ self-disclosures. Partner responsiveness predicted lower levels of depressive symptoms over time in patients who had a relatively high need for emotional expression above and beyond the effect of relationship satisfaction. We demonstrated that partners’ understanding and validation are more important in explaining patients’ depressive symptoms than partners’ caring behavior. Our findings highlight the importance of the relational context in improving adaptation to cancer taking into account individual differences.

Informal caregiving for cancer patients.

Cancer. 2013 Jun 1;119 Suppl 11:2160-9

Authors: Romito F, Goldzweig G, Cormio C, Hagedoorn M, Andersen BL

Abstract
According to the recent worldwide estimation by the GLOBOCAN project, in total, 12.7 million new cancer cases and 7.6 million cancer deaths occurred in 2008. The worldwide number of cancer survivors within 5 years of diagnosis has been estimated at be almost 28.8 million. Informal caregivers, such as family members and close friends, provide essential support to cancer patients. The authors of this report provide an overview of issues in the study of informal caregivers for cancer patients and long-term survivors in the United States and Europe, characterizing the caregivers commonly studied; the resources currently available to them; and their unmet needs, their psychosocial outcomes, and the psychosocial interventions tailored to their special circumstances. A broad overview of the state of research and knowledge, both in Europe and the United States, and observations on the directions for future research are provided.
