“…[8][9][10][11][12][13] This clinic was designed to carry out assessment of patient's preanesthetic status to optimize the medical condition, provide psychological support, as well as preoperative teaching before surgery. It also assists patients in the preparation before anesthesia and impending surgery by giving presurgery and postsurgery information.…”

“…They were satisfied with the provision of information and the caring attitude toward the patient, which helps to and alleviate their anxieties about their forthcoming operation. [9][10][11][16][17][18][19] On the other hand, it is noteworthy that the number of orthopaedic surgeries has an increasing trend. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Health Statistics reports that the number of surgeries for reduction of fracture is 672,000, total knee replacement is 542,000, and total hip replacement is 231,000.…”

Who cares? A critical discussion of the value of caring from a patient and healthcare professional perspective

“…All synonyms and similar words were connected by the use of conjunctions such as 'or' and 'and'. Within this search orthopaedic patients' perceptions appeared in association with satisfaction (Arslanian, 2001;Berg et al, 2007;Davis and Bush, 2003;Fielden et al, 2003;Flynn, 2005;Gurdogen et al, 2015;Şendir et al, 2012), individualism in care (Suhonen et al, 2010a;Tekin, 2011), quality (Kneale and Knight, 1997), perioperative care (Gustafsson et al, 2010), nursing care (Berg et al, 2007;Kalafati et al, 2009;Land and Suhonen, 2009;Lee et al, 2007;Love, 1996;Suhonen and Leino-Kilpi, 2010;Suhonen et al, 2008Suhonen et al, , 2010bWatters, 2009;Zhao and Akkadechanunt, 2011), emergency trauma care (Baldursdottir and Jonsdottir, 2002;Muntlin et al, 2006), pre-assessment (Aquilina and Baldacchino, 2007;Lucas, 1998), functional ability (Cohen, 2009;Larsson et al, 1999), paediatrics (Judd, 2009), physical needs (Khalaf et al, 2009) and using vision as an instrument of perception (Cameron and de Araújo, 2011).…”

New Design of Care

“…The remaining 43 articles, which were not appraised to have a rigorous design, also indicated that the effectiveness of extended-scope practitioners might be equivalent to that of physicians (Flynn, 2005;Hattam, 2003;Gardiner & Turner, 2002). Additional outcome findings were that delegation to extended-scope practitioners reduced waiting times for a first consultation (Flowers & Wright, 2003;Lowry & Lewis, 2004), reduced the time period between each follow-up (Flowers & Wright, 2003;Newey, Clarke, Green, Kershaw, & Pathak, 2006;McGinley & Lucas, 2006), better took into account the needs of patients (Fellows et al, 1998;Jackson, 2007;Lucas, 2002), improved the functioning of the clinic (Fellows et al, 1998), reduced costs per patient (Carter, Finley, & Parkinson, 2002;Flowers & Wright, 2003), and increased or maintained a high level of satisfaction from them (Byles & Ling, 1989;Carter et al, 2002;Hourigan & Weatherley, 1995;Lee, 2005;Oldmeadow et al, 2007;Pearse, MacLean, & Ricketts, 2006).…”
