There is unmet need for decision support regarding medication use during pregnancy. We aimed to inform the development of a decision aid on oral corticosteroid (OCS) use during pregnancy through focus groups.

We invited patients from one health system who had a recent live birth and a condition for which OCSs may be prescribed (ie, asthma or other autoimmune disease) to participate in focus groups. We conducted conventional qualitative content analysis of verbatim transcripts of the focus groups using inductive coding.

There were 30 participants across five focus groups from May to June 2019. Women endorsed the need for patient-provider discussions about OCS use during pregnancy in which the provider shares risks and benefits and the patient makes her decision. Furthermore, women generally expressed support for patient-centered handouts about OCS use during pregnancy that the provider discusses with the patient. When considering whether to take OCSs in pregnancy, women had concerns about the medication's impact on their baby (eg, miscarriage, birth defects, long-term effects), themselves (eg, effects on mood, sleep, weight gain), pregnancy complications (eg, preterm birth, increased blood pressure), and lactation. Women wanted information on OCSs (eg, indications, length of treatment, and cost), alternative treatments, and risks of not taking OCSs.

We established patient need for a decision aid on OCS use during pregnancy that providers can discuss with patients. To address patient concerns, the aid should at a minimum describe the medication's impact on baby, including long-term effects, maternal health, pregnancy complications, and lactation.

Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) are amongst the most anxiety-provoking competency assessment methods. check details An online serious game (OSCEGame) was developed and implemented within the OSCE curriculum. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of this serious game on preparedness and reducing OSCE-related stress.

A serious game was designed to help dental students train for OSCEs. Two game courses (4 stations each) were designed according to year of undergraduate training (4
and 5
year), based on 6 pre-existing multi-competency OSCE stations. The OSCEGame was available online on a learning platform 4 to 6weeks before the summative OSCEs. Game use was evaluated by analysing connection data. Preparedness, stress and time management skills were assessed using a questionnaire following the summative OCSEs. The results of 4
-year students (OSCE naive population) were compared to those of 5
-year students to assess usefulness and benefits of such preparation method.

In total, 97% and 60% of the students in 4
year and 5
year, respectively, used the game. The game was seen as an essential preparation tool to reduce anxiety (for 60% of all students) and increase time management skills (65% of all students). However, significant differences were observed between 4
and 5
-year students (anxiety reduction 65% vs. 22%, p<0.001; time management skills 59% vs. 41%, p<0.05) suggesting that it is most useful for OSCE naive students.

This serious game is a useful time efficient online tool, for OSCE preparation, especially in OSCE naive students.

This study aimed to compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided and angiography-guided intraluminal approach for femoropopliteal (FP) artery occlusive disease.

A retrospective analysis was performed using the data collected regarding patients that underwent endovascular treatment (EVT) for FP artery occlusive disease between January 2010 and April 2018 at two centers. A total of 221 consecutive de novo lesions were analyzed according to the method of recanalization. Propensity score-matched analysis was performed to compare the clinical outcomes of recanalization methods for FP occlusive lesions. The prognostic value was analyzed based on the number of guidewires, wire cross time, distal puncture rate, radiation exposure, the amount of contrast media, primary patency, and clinically driven-target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) at 1 year.

A total of 44 matched pairs of patients were analyzed after propensity score-matched analysis. The number of guidewires, distal puncture rate, wire passage time, radiation exposure, and the amount of contrast media were significantly lower in the ultrasound-guide group, with 3.4 vs. 4.7, 9.1% vs. 54.5%, 47 min vs. 83 min, 207 mGy vs. 821 mGy, 66 ml vs. 109 ml, respectively (p < .01), but there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of primary patency and CD-TLR.

The ultrasound-guided EVT for FP occlusive disease significantly reduced the number of guidewires, wire cross time, the rate of distal puncture, radiation exposure, and the amount of contrast media used.

Though growing numbers of peer support workers are employed in the UK National Health Service (NHS), conflicts persist between core values of peer support and values which exert power within these services.

To explore what NHS mental health professionals value about the peer support worker role.

Five professionals from different professions and mental health settings were interviewed twice. The first interviews explored their experiences of working with peers. Transcripts were analysed using discourse analysis and psychosocial theory. Second interviews allowed participants to respond to the analysis and influence subsequent analysis.

Mental health professionals valued peers for the deeply empathic, relational approach they brought, based in their subjective experience. Peer work was also valued for the affect-focused quality of this work, and the challenge peers pose to existing values in mental health services. The values of peer support troubled dominant ways of working based in forms of knowledge that favour objectivity and hence encountered challenges.
