“…Telephone calls are probably more sustainable than home visits in these regards since they are easily organised and accessible involving low technology [ 4 ]. The time spent on calls in various studies ranged from 15 to 60 min [ 27 ] which concurs with our findings. The length of intervention is reasonable, and without the involvement of traveling time, which in turn saves cost.…”

Background: home visits and telephone calls are two often used approaches in transitional care, but their differential economic effects are unknown.Objective: to examine the differential economic benefits of home visits with telephone calls and telephone calls only in transitional discharge support.Design: cost-effectiveness analysis conducted alongside a randomised controlled trial (RCT).Participants: patients discharged from medical units randomly assigned to control (control, N = 210), home visits with calls (home, N = 196) and calls only (call, N = 204).Methods: cost-effectiveness analyses were conducted from the societal perspective comparing monetary benefits and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained.Results: the home arm was less costly but less effective at 28 days and was dominating (less costly and more effective) at 84 days. The call arm was dominating at both 28 and 84 days. The incremental QALY for the home arm was −0.0002/0.0008 (28/84 days), and the call arm was 0.0022/0.0104 (28/84 days). When the three groups were compared, the call arm had a higher probability being cost-effective at 84 days but not at 28 days (home: 53%, call: 35% (28 days) versus home: 22%, call: 73% (84 days)) measuring against the NICE threshold of £20,000.Conclusion: the original RCT showed that the bundled intervention involving home visits and calls was more effective than calls only in the reduction of hospital readmissions. This study adds a cost perspective to inform policymakers that both home visits and calls only are cost-effective for transitional care support, but calls only have a higher chance of being cost-effective for a sustained period after intervention.

“…It needs several improvements of educational strategies in order to maintain participants' knowledge and behaviors regarding foot care. One systematic review reported that the followup strategies, such as a telephone call were effective and feasible to assess knowledge, discuss the patients' concerns, and encourage lifestyle and behavioral changes [19].…”

The most common diabetes mellitus (DM) complication is diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), which is costly and has devastating adverse effects. It was found that 6.8 % of DM patients suffered from DFU. According to Indonesian Hospital Association, DFU was reported to cause an amputation rate of 15-30 %. The aims of this study were to assess the levels of diabetic foot care knowledge and behaviors and its relationship among diabetic patients attending Public Health Center at Bojonegoro, East Java, Indonesia. Eighty-one participants with DM were selected from two public health centers based on inclusion criteria. Modified Diabetic Foot Care Knowledge and Modified Diabetic Foot Care Behaviors Questionnaires were used in this study. The diabetic foot care knowledge and behaviors were categorized into 3 levels as poor (<60%), moderate (60-80%), and good (>80%). Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Pearson correlation coefficient was employed to analyze the correlation between diabetic foot care knowledge and behaviors among participants. Based on the result, the diabetic foot care knowledge score was at poor level (M = 57.8, SD = 14.6) of which 39.5 % of them had poor knowledge, 58 % had moderate and only 2.5 % had good knowledge. Diabetic foot care behaviors was at poor level (M = 46.7, SD = 10.9%) of which 86.4 % of them had poor behaviors and the remaining of 12.3 % had moderate behaviors. The correlations between diabetic foot care knowledge and behaviors were not significantly correlated (p = .09). The diabetic foot care knowledge and behaviors are still become the biggest concern among diabetic's patients in Indonesia. This study showed that DM patients with good knowledge of DM foot care might not always transform their knowledge into practices. Further research is needed to enhance diabetic foot care knowledge and behaviors among DM patients in Indonesia.

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting is one of the common treatments for cardiac diseases, despite the numerous complications of CABG. Objectives: This study was carried out to investigate post-operative complications and symptoms in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 170 patients who were referred to Farshchian heart Center in Hamadan in 2018. The data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and a standard checklist for the assessment of cardiac symptoms. All patients completed the demographic information questionnaire, and patients' contact information was recorded. One month after the discharge, the cardiac symptom questionnaire was completed through the phone interview with the participants. Data were analyzed by the SPSS software version 21. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and regression were used for data analysis. Results: Of 170 patients, 130 cases were male, and 70% were under the age of 60 years old. The most common symptom after surgery was leg swelling (40.6%), and the least common complication was a fluttering chest (3.5%). There was a significant relationship between age and chest pain (P = 0.01), smoking and dyspnea (P = 0.032), troubles of sleeping (P = 0.044), and leg swelling (P = 0.035), depression and gender (P < 0.001), BMI and poor appetite (P = 0.042). Conclusions: It is important to consider the symptoms and complications of CABG in these patients. Leg swelling, trouble of sleeping, and fatigue were common symptoms in these patients. It is suggested that appropriate training is provided to patients, particularly smoking cessation.
