This randomized controlled study aims to examine the effects of using virtual reality glasses and white noise during peripheral intravenous catheterization on pain, anxiety, and satisfaction in adult patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: virtual reality, white noise, or control. Pain and anxiety levels will be assessed using standardized scales immediately after the procedure, and satisfaction will be evaluated following the intervention. The study aims to determine whether these non-pharmacological methods can reduce pain and anxiety and increase patient satisfaction during intravenous catheterization.
NCT05158322
Lower limb joint replacement surgery is one of the most prevalent globally. In our center, more than 400 lower limb arthroplasties (LLA) are performed annually. Developing a Surgical Site Infection (SSI) after (LLA) increases morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Staphylococcus aureus is the main causative agent of SSI and especially in LLA. One third of the population is a nasal carrier of Staphylococcus aureus, being a risk factor for patients who have to undergo knee replacement or hip replacement. Several studies have confirmed that the detection of S. aureus carriers and their subsequent decolonization reduces SSI rates
NCT07471581
The general aim of this study is to assess and analyze the level of patient satisfaction with nursing care among inpatients in the ordinary wards of the AOU Maggiore della Carità in Novara (Italy). Using the validated Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scales (NSNS), the study intends to produce reliable and comparable data that reflect patients' perceived quality of care across multiple dimensions, including relationships, emotional support, information, and time devoted by nurses. The study aims to provide an updated overview of patient experiences, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. These results will offer guidance for organizational and educational strategies to promote more personalized, human-centered nursing care aligned with international quality and safety recommendations, without altering routine clinical practice.

Evaluation was done for patient satisfaction and prosthetic complications
NCT07403734
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy of bilateral lumbar erector spinae plane (ESP) block in providing effective postoperative analgesia and its potential impact on early mobilization and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing surgical repair of lumbar disc herniation. Regional anesthesia techniques, particularly erector spinae plane blocks, have become an integral component of multimodal analgesia strategies in postoperative pain management. The ESP block has demonstrated effective analgesia across a wide spectrum of thoracic and abdominal surgeries and is increasingly utilized due to its ease of application and safety profile. By implementing multimodal analgesic techniques, this study seeks to achieve effective pain control, reduce opioid consumption and associated complications, facilitate early mobilization, decrease hospital length of stay, and enhance patient comfort.
NCT07311525
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of ultrasound-guided retro-SCTL space block and EOI block on opioid consumption within 24 hours after LSG.
NCT07314450
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different procedural sedation and analgesia methods used for adults with painful fractures requiring reduction treatment in the emergency department. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Which sedation and analgesia methods provide the best patient satisfaction and pain relief? * How do different treatment methods affect clinician satisfaction and the occurrence of adverse events? The investigators will compare different types of procedural sedative and analgesic treatments (such as systemic sedation/analgesia and regional techniques like nerve or hematoma blocks) to see which approach offers the best patient satisfaction and most effective pain control. Participants will: Be adult patients with upper or lower extremity fractures or joint dislocations requiring painful reduction procedures. Receive one of the routinely used sedation or analgesia treatments (or no analgesia) during their emergency department care. Report their pain levels and satisfaction before, during, and after treatment. Be monitored for any side effects, complications, or use of antidotes. Data will be collected over a six-month period at Odense University Hospital, Holbæk Hospital, and Zealand University Hospital, Køge, following the STROBE guidelines for observational studies.

NCT07274072
Background and Objectives Hospital at Home (HaH) delivers hospital-level treatment to acutely ill patients in their own homes, including daily medical and nursing visits, infusions, physiotherapy, and diagnostics. It bridges inpatient and outpatient care, working closely with hospitals, office-based physicians, home care services (Spitex), and therapy providers. There are two main pathways: Admission Avoidance: stable patients requiring hospitalization are admitted directly to HaH instead of an inpatient ward. Early Supported Discharge: patients treated in hospital are discharged earlier than usual and transferred to HaH. Evidence International studies show HaH to be safe and effective. Reviews report comparable mortality and rehospitalization, shorter hospital stays, and cost advantages. Admission avoidance is linked to trends toward lower mortality and costs. Research showed similar mortality but fewer rehospitalizations, longer treatment duration, and reduced risks of institutionalization, depression, and anxiety. HaH patients were older, with reduced daily living activities, yet care costs were on average USD 5,054 lower than inpatient care. In Switzerland, the mean hospital stay in 2019 was 8 days (acute somatic: 5.2; psychiatry: 33.5). Study Hypotheses HaH can be delivered at equal or lower cost than regular hospitalization. HaH care is safe, with few complications, and yields high patient satisfaction. Study Objective To demonstrate that hospital-equivalent home treatment of acutely ill patients is effective, appropriate, cost-efficient (according to Swiss WZW criteria), safe, and associated with high satisfaction and low complication rates compared with inpatient care. Endpoints Primary: Costs - HaH vs. inpatient care at Hirslanden Clinic, using REKOLE® cost accounting. Secondary: Mortality, therapy type, monitoring, diagnostics, rehospitalization, complications, satisfaction, patient-reported outcomes, length of stay, referrals to nursing homes, follow-up after discharge, ED visits, rehabilitation referrals, and home care type.
NCT07248592
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of empathy skills training on Maternity Nurses' Communication and Parturient Women's Perception of Empathetic Care. The main questions it aims to answer are; * Do maternity nurses who received empathy skills training have better empathetic communication skills when caring with parturient women than those who don't.? * Do parturient women who received care from maternity nurses trained with empathy skills training perceive higher empathy level than mothers who received care from untrained nurses? Participants will: * Have 3 educational training sessions on empathy communication skills. * Will be followed by the researcher for any clarifications about the educational content of session * nurses will be asked to evaluate their empathy communication skills twice (once before training and second time after training) . also parturient women will be asked to assess their maternity nurses' empathy care level twice (once before training and second time after training).
NCT06539754

NCT07004270
In France and around the world, emergency care facilities are facing increasing demand, with rising waiting times. Differentiating care pathways, notably by opening a fast-track unit, helps to improve patient flow and waiting time; which contributes to patient satisfaction. However, a link between patient satisfaction and waiting time is not always found when patients perceive a humanistic approach in care. The implementation of an advanced practice nurse in an emergency department is a way to graduate the offer of care and reduce waiting times before consultation and length of stay for patients with minor degree of severity. In this care context, Advanced Practice Nurses maintain and even improve patient satisfaction. Since July 2024, two Advanced Practice Nurses have integrated Poitiers University Hospital's adult emergency department. Considering the existing and ongoing literature to knowledge, an evaluation of the impact of emergency Advanced Practice Nurses 1 year after their implementation in a French University Hospital would be the first study of its kind. According to the results of previous international studies, the investigators assume that emergency Advanced Practice Nurses activities have a positive impact on the French healthcare system: on the quality of care perceived by patients and on the emergency care pathways of all fast-track patients by maintaining the same level of safety. This study aims to evaluate the impact of emergency Advanced Practice Nurses in a French University Hospital on patient perception of quality of care, safety and patient care pathways in emergency departments. This monocentric cross-sectional observational study is a prospective survey of patient satisfaction and experience with a satisfaction questionnaire; and a retrospective survey on routine care data. The study's main objective is to evaluate the impact of emergency Advanced Practice Nurses in a French University Hospital on patient-perceived quality of care by measuring the overall satisfaction of patients who receive care from Advanced Practice Nurses during their emergency care pathway. Overall patient satisfaction will be measured in a survey conducted with a patient satisfaction and experience questionnaire. The secondary objectives of this study are several: * Assess patients' acceptability of being cared by an emergency Advanced Practice Nurse * Evaluate patient satisfaction with the communication and care relationship with an emergency Advanced Practice Nurse * Evaluate the rate of recommendation of an emergency Advanced Practice Nurse by the patients who receive care from an Advanced Practice Nurse * Evaluate the safety of care pathways including an emergency Advanced Practice Nurse * Evaluate the impact of emergency Advanced Practice Nurses implementation on emergency care pathways for fast-track patients Consistent with each objective and outcome, the study will compare: * groups before and after the implementation of emergency Advanced Practice Nurses * or subgroups in the period after implementation of advanced practice nurses: with and without emergency Advanced Practice Nurses intervention The anonymous patient satisfaction and experience survey will be sent by a link in a verified e-mail during the emergency department visit of patients included in the study, admitted to emergency department between 02/06/2025 and 29/06/2025. Routine care data will be collected from Poitiers hospital medical records for fast-track patients who did not refuse to take part in the study during the following periods: * Before Advanced Practice Nurses' implementation from 05/27/2024 to 06/23/2024 * After Advanced Practice Nurses' implementation from 02/06/2025 to 29/06/2025
NCT06930534

Participants will be randomized to receive a portable MRI plus standard of care (SOC) vs SOC. Investigators will look at time to beginning of scan for both.
NCT06850558
This study aimed to compare reduced (partially extended) denture bases with fully extended bases regarding patient satisfaction, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and masticatory efficiency. A within-subject study design was carried out; involving 20 completely edentulous participants aged 50-75 years, who received newly constructed conventional complete denture. Four parallel implants were installed in the interforaminal region, implant overdenture (IOD) retained by bar attachment was constructed for each patient and were provided with two different overdenture designs: (1)firstly a fully extended denture base (FIOD) (2) then a reduced (partially extended) denture base (RIOD). Each patient allowed to wear each types of overdentures for a period of 3 months prior to evaluation. The following outcome measures were assessed: Patient satisfaction, the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), and Chewing efficiency were assessed.
NCT06506669
The goal of this pilot clinical trial comparing two different sedation approaches for cataract surgery is to assess patient satisfaction, the quality of recovery, and surgical outcomes as well as to evaluate the overall feasibility and acceptability of the study protocol for the purpose of planning a larger clinical trial. Participants will be asked to respond to several surveys throughout the study on their experience and to assess outcomes of interest.
NCT05708521
This study aims to investigate pain management and satisfaction following orthognathic surgery, which is a type of surgery that corrects jaw and facial bone issues. This type of surgery can result in significant post-operative pain for participants, and the goal of this study is to find a way to manage this pain in a more effective and safe manner. The study will focus on the use of opioid pain medication and will compare two groups: one group will receive a standardized prescription plan. In contrast, the other group will receive a personalized prescription with a plan to taper the opioid medication. In the end, any unused opioid will be compared at the end of the 7-day post-discharge period between the two groups. This is important because excessive opioid prescription can either be diverted to the community or can be misused leading to opioid use disorders. Data will be collected from pre-surgery appointments, during the surgery and hospital stay, and follow-up appointments. The data collected will include participants' demographics, medical history, type of surgery, and information about the pain medication used. The study hypothesizes that the personalized prescription plan will result in less unused medication and higher satisfaction with pain management compared to the standardized prescription plan. The study will also stratify the participants into single-jaw surgery and double-jaw surgery groups to evaluate if any differences in the outcomes are observed. This study will help to provide guidance for future pain management practices for participants undergoing orthognathic surgery. Furthermore, this study will also benefit society by providing insights into addressing the opioid crisis that is currently affecting many communities across North America.
