Insights into chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patient attitudes on ventilatory support

Abstract

Physicians should consider the discussion of end-of-life issues preferably when patients are stable. Decision aids may prove to be a valuable adjunct in framing treatments such as mechanical ventilation.

Prediction of survival on the waiting list for heart transplantation and of posttransplant nonadherence—Results of a prospective longitudinal study

“…[31][32][33][34] The participants in our study knew the importance of adherence to medication intake and medical regimens, though they were unable to recall prior education on signs and risks of rejection. Perceptions and attitudes could influence health behavior in a negative or positive manner.…”

“…18 Perceptions and attitudes could influence health behavior in a negative or positive manner. [31][32][33][34] The participants in our study knew the importance of adherence to medication intake and medical regimens, though they were unable to recall prior education on signs and risks of rejection. This finding suggests the need for improvement in communication strategies of information to these high-risk patients.…”

Attitudes towards transplantation and medication among 121 heart, lung, liver and kidney recipients and their spouses

“…A large number of prospective long-term studies have shown that quality of life after a heart, lung, liver or kidney transplant improves significantly and remains stable over a fairly long period of time [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Although attitudes play an important role in the processing of chronic diseases or the acceptance of medical interventions [11][12][13], attitudes towards the transplant have previously been investigated primarily in connection with organ donation or the carrying of an organ-donor ID card [14][15][16]. Nevertheless, the few studies on the attitudes of transplant patients underscore the direct importance of these attitudes for health behaviour.…”
