Background: Electronic medical records (EMRs) play a key role in improving documentation and quality of care in paediatric palliative care (PPC). Inadequate EMR design can cause incorrect prescription and administration of medications. Due to the fact of complex diseases and the resulting high level of medical complexity, patients in PPC are vulnerable to medication errors. Consequently, involving users in the development process is important. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the acceptance of a medication module from the perspective of potential users in PPC and to involve them in the development process. Methods: A qualitative observational study was conducted with 10 nurses and four physicians using a concurrent think-aloud protocol and semi-structured qualitative interviews. A qualitative content analysis was applied based on a unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. Results: Requirements from the user’s perspective could be identified as possible influences on acceptance and actual use. Requirements were grouped into the categories “performance expectancies” and “effort expectancies”. Conclusions: The results serve as a basis for further development. Attention should be given to the reduction of display fragmentation, as it decreases cognitive load. Further approaches to evaluation should be taken.

Background: Paediatric palliative care (PPC) is a noncurative approach to the care of children and adolescents with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses. Electronic medical records (EMRs) play an important role in documenting such complex processes. Despite their benefits, they can introduce unintended consequences if future users are not involved in their development. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the acceptance of a novel module for nursing documentation by nurses working in the context of PPC. Methods: An observational study employing concurrent think-aloud and semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 11 nurses working in PPC. Based on the main determinants of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results: The main determinants of UTAUT were found to potentially influence acceptance of the novel module. Participants perceived the module to be self-explanatory and intuitive. Some adaptations, such as the reduction of fragmentation in the display, the optimization of confusing mouseover fields, and the use of familiar nursing terminology, are reasonable ways of increasing software adoption. Conclusions: After adaptation of the modules based on the results, further evaluation with the participation of future users is required.
Eine intransparente, unvollständige und unpräzise Berichtserstattung von Forschungsergebnissen ist ein beständiges Problem in der Bio-Medizinischen Forschung. Dies führt zu einer eingeschränkten Nachvollziehbarkeit von Forschungsergebnissen und schränkt die Übertragbarkeit der Ergebnisse deutlich ein. Auch bei Studien zu digitalen Interventionen im Bereich Electronic-Health (E-Health) ist die intransparente, unvollständige und unpräzise Berichtserstattung von Forschungsergebnissen zunehmend in der Diskussion. Dieser Beitrag verfolgt drei wesentliche Ziele: Es wird dargestellt, warum ein qualitativ hochwertiges Reporting von Studienergebnissen zu digitalen Interventionen von hoher Relevanz ist. Auf dieser Basis werden ausgewählte Reporting Guidelines und Frameworks beschrieben, die für das Berichten von Studienergebnissen zu digitalen Interventionen entwickelt wurden. Zudem werden weitere Elemente beschrieben, die die Berichterstattung unterstützen können, wie etwa ein Evidenzkonzept und allgemeine Entwicklungsmodelle digitaler Interventionen.
Approaches to Improvement of Digital Health Literacy (eHL) in the Context of Person-Centered Care
(2022)
The skills, knowledge and resources to search for, find, understand, evaluate and apply health information is defined as health literacy (HL). If individuals want to use health information from the Internet, they need Digital Health Literacy (eHL), which in addition to HL also includes, for example, media literacy. If information cannot be found or understood by patients due to low (e)HL, patients will not have the opportunity to make informed decisions. In addition, many health apps for self-management or prevention also require (e)HL. Thus, it follows that active participation in healthcare, in terms of Person-Centered Care (PCC) is only possible through (e)HL. Currently, there is a great need to strengthen these competencies in society to achieve increased empowerment of patients and their health. However, at the same time, there is a need to train and improve competencies in the field of healthcare professionals so that they can counsel and guide patients. This article provides an overview with a focus on HL and eHL in healthcare, shows the opportunities to adapt services and describes the possible handling of patients with low (e)HL. In addition, the opportunities for patients and healthcare professionals to improve (e)HL are highlighted.
Abstract The development and application of digital interventions in health-related topics are gaining momentum in health service research. Digital interventions are often complex and need to be evaluated and implemented in complex settings. Due to their characteristics, this poses methodological challenges for health services research that have to be identified and addressed. Hence, the Working Group on Digital Health of the German Network for Health Services Research (DNVF) has prepared a discussion paper. This paper discusses methodological, practical and theoretical challenges associated with the development and evaluation of digital interventions from the perspective of health services research. Possible solutions are suggested and future research needs to address these methodological challenges are identified.
Abstract The methodological challenges of evaluating digital interventions (DI) for health services research are omnipresent. The Digital Health Working Group of the German Network for Health Services Research (DNVF) presented and discussed these challenges in a two-part discussion paper. The first part addressed challenges in definition, development and evaluation of DI. In this paper, which represents the second part, the definition of outcomes, reporting of results, synthesis of evidence, and implementation are addressed as methodological challenges of DI. Potential solutions are presented and the need to address these challenges in future research are discussed.
Learning digital competencies can be successful if the information is also tried out immediately using interactive elements. However, interactive teaching poses a particular challenge, especially in large group formats. Various strategies are used to promote interaction, but there is little known about the results. This article shows different strategies and evaluates their influence on the interaction rate in a large group course over two terms that teaches digital medicine. Log files and participation in surveys as well as participation in chat were quantitatively evaluated. In addition, the chat messages themselves were evaluated qualitatively. For the evaluation, relation to the total number of participants was particularly relevant in order to be able to determine an interaction rate in the individual course sessions. A maximum average interaction rate of 90.97% could be determined over the entire term while the participants wrote an average of 3.96 comments during a session in the chat. In summary, this research could show that interactive elements should be well planned and used at regular intervals in order to reap the benefits.
This survey study investigates surgical patients’ use and perception of digital health technologies in Germany in the pre–COVID-19 era. The objective of this study was to relate surgical patients’ characteristics to the use and perception of several digital health technologies. In this single-center, cross-sectional survey study in the outpatient department of a university hospital in Germany, 406 patients completed a questionnaire with the following three domains: general information and use of the internet, smartphones, and general digital health aspects. Analyses were stratified by age group and highest education level achieved. We found significant age-based differences in most of the evaluated aspects. Younger patients were more open to using new technologies in private and medical settings but had more security concerns. Although searching for information on illnesses on the web was common, the overall acceptance of and trust in web-based consultations were rather low, with <50% of patients in each age group reporting acceptance and trust. More people with academic qualifications than without academic qualifications searched for information on the web before visiting physicians (73/121, 60.3% and 100/240, 41.7%, respectively). Patients with academic degrees were also more engaged in health-related information and communication technology use. These results support the need for eHealth literacy, health literacy, and available digital devices and internet access to support the active, meaningful use of information and communication technologies in health care. Uncertainties and a lack of knowledge exist, especially regarding telemedicine and the use of medical and health apps. This is especially pronounced among older patients and patients with a low education status.
Die Palliativpflege ist eine elementare Säule im Rahmen von Palliative Care und Hospizarbeit. Als Teil des multiprofessionellen Teams setzt sie sich für eine personenzentrierte und leitlinienorientierte würdevolle Versorgung von Menschen in der letzten Lebensphase und ihrer An- und Zugehörigen auf der Grundlage des Total-Pain-Modells ein. Das Pflegeleitbild der Sektion Pflege der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Palliativmedizin bietet hier eine werteorientierte Grundlage.
Neben der bereits bekannten Relevanz der sozialen Medien für junge Erwachsene belegen aktuelle Studien, dass sie das Potenzial haben, das Gesundheitsverhalten ihrer Konsumenten positiv zu beeinflussen. Jedoch gibt es bis dato keine wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse darüber, wovon solch ein positiver Einfluss abhängt. Daher wurde in dieser ersten Studie empirisch untersucht, ob möglicherweise die spezifische Selbstwirksamkeit für ein bestimmtes Gesundheitsverhalten (hier: gewohnheitsmäßige Meditation und Achtsamkeit zur Stressreduktion) einen Moderator-Effekt auf den Einfluss von sozialen Medien hat und, ob dieser Effekt abhängig von der Qualität der Selbstwirksamkeit ist. Dazu wurden von 121 Probanden im Alter von 18 bis 29 Jahren die Nutzungsweise von sozialen Medien, die individuelle generelle und spezifische Selbstwirksamkeit für das ausgewählte Gesundheitsverhalten und dessen Gewohnheitsmäßigkeit erfasst. Entgegen den Erwartungen konnte kein Moderator-Effekt und keine Korrelation nachgewiesen werden. Die Ergebnisse deuten jedoch darauf hin, dass zusätzlich (oder eher) die spezifische Selbstwirksamkeit für die Nutzung von sozialen Medien von großer Relevanz für die Bestätigung der hier aufgestellten Hypothesen sein könnte. Deshalb sollten zukünftige Studien auf diesem Gebiet diese zwingend erfassen. Sollten sich die Hypothesen in der weiterführenden Forschung bestätigen, würde dies die Gesundheitsförderung des Einzelnen und der Gesellschaft positiv beeinflussen.

Trichotillomanie (TTM) ist durch repetitives Haareausreißen charakterisiert, was zu signifikantem Haarverlust, einem hohen Leidensdruck und Beeinträchtigungen in wesentlichen Lebensbereichen führt. Schätzungsweise ein bis zwei Prozent der Allgemeinbevölkerung leiden unter TTM. Gemeinsam mit anderen pathologischen körperbezogenen repetitiven Verhaltensweisen ist TTM in DSM-5 und ICD-11 dem Zwangsspektrum zugeordnet. In der Ätiologie stehen lerntheoretische Modelle im Vordergrund. Zur Behandlung wird die Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie empfohlen, wobei insbesondere Nachweise zur Effektivität des Habit-Reversal-Trainings vorliegen. Derzeit liegt keine evidenzbasierte Empfehlung für eine spezifische pharmakologische Behandlung vor. TTM ist bis heute ein wenig erforschtes und in der Praxis unzureichend bekanntes Störungsbild. Der vorliegende Beitrag liefert einen Überblick über den aktuellen Forschungsstand und allgemeine Handlungsempfehlungen für die Praxis.
Warum soll ich das Lernen? Lerngründe und Lernwiderstände in der theoretischen Pflegeausbildung
(2022)
Lernwiderstände sind Folge von unangemessener Lernanforderungen, die Lehrende an Schüler_innen richten. Vor allem Leistungsüberprüfungen und Leistungsdruck können Widerstände beim Lernen hervorrufen. Das kann zu negativen Emotionen wie Frustration und Hilflosigkeit beim Lernen führen. Außerdem erleben die Auszubildenden das Lernen als Zwang. Um diesen Problemen beizukommen ist es wichtig, sich die Relevanz von Lernbegründungen bewusst zu machen, damit Lernen als etwas positives wahrgenommen wird.
Visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) is a common side-effect of exposure to virtual reality (VR). Its unpleasant symptoms may limit the acceptance of VR technologies for training or clinical purposes. Mechanical stimulation of the mastoid and diverting attention to pleasant stimuli-like odors or music have been found to ameliorate VIMS. Chewing gum combines both in an easy-to-administer fashion and should thus be an effective countermeasure against VIMS. Our study investigated whether gustatory-motor stimulation by chewing gum leads to a reduction of VIMS symptoms. 77 subjects were assigned to three experimental groups (control, peppermint gum, and ginger gum) and completed a 15-min virtual helicopter flight, using a VR head-mounted display. Before and after VR exposure, we assessed VIMS with the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ), and during the virtual flight once every minute with the Fast Motion Sickness Scale (FMS). Chewing gum (peppermint gum: M = 2.44, SD = 2.67; ginger gum: M = 2.57, SD = 3.30) reduced the peak FMS scores by 2.05 (SE = 0.76) points as compared with the control group (M = 4.56, SD = 3.52), p < 0.01, d = 0.65. Additionally, taste ratings correlated slightly negatively with both the SSQ and the peak FMS scores, suggesting that pleasant taste of the chewing gum is associated with less VIMS. Thus, chewing gum may be useful as an affordable, accepted, and easy-to-access way to mitigate VIMS in numerous applications like education or training. Possible mechanisms behind the effect are discussed.
