“…Participating veterinarians expressed uncertainty around whether clients utilize the information provided in handouts [ 11 ] and participating pet owners expressed the need to ask questions and clarify information received from handouts after their appointment. If veterinarians do not provide an opportunity for clients to ask questions about information received from handouts, veterinarians may assume that the information is not useful for the client, yet a lack of written information has been associated with reduced client compliance [ 26 ]. Additionally, the absence of follow-up telephone calls from veterinarians may further reduce client compliance [ 26 ].…”

“…If veterinarians do not provide an opportunity for clients to ask questions about information received from handouts, veterinarians may assume that the information is not useful for the client, yet a lack of written information has been associated with reduced client compliance [ 26 ]. Additionally, the absence of follow-up telephone calls from veterinarians may further reduce client compliance [ 26 ]. These results emphasize the importance of providing clearly written information to clients and even more so the importance of providing a plan for following up with a client or letting clients know they can contact the veterinary team as needed.…”

Pet owners’ and veterinarians’ perceptions of information exchange and clinical decision-making in companion animal practice

et al. 2021

One of the most complex aspects of the veterinarian-client-patient interaction is the clinical decision-making process. Research suggests that the approach to communication used by veterinarians can impact veterinary clients’ involvement in the decision-making process and their ultimate satisfaction. Using different approaches to the decision-making process may affect how information is exchanged and consequently how decisions are made. The objective of this study was to determine pet owners’ expectations with respect to information exchange and decision-making during veterinarian-client-patient interactions and to compare veterinarians’ perceptions of those expectations and the challenges they face in meeting them. Five pet owner focus groups (27 owners) and three veterinarian focus groups (24 veterinarians) were conducted with standardized open-ended questions and follow-up probes. Thematic analysis of the transcribed data was conducted to identify trends and patterns that emerged during the focus groups. Three pet owner-based themes were identified: 1) understanding the client; 2) providing information suitable for the client; and 3) decision-making. In addition, three barriers for veterinarians affecting information exchange and decision-making were identified: 1) time constraints; 2) involvement of multiple clients; and 3) language barriers. Results suggest that pet owners expect to be supported by their veterinarian to make informed decisions by understanding the client’s current knowledge, tailoring information and educating clients about their options. Breakdowns in the information exchange process can impact pet owners’ perceptions of veterinarians’ motivations. Pet owners’ emphasis on partnership suggests that a collaborative approach between veterinarians and clients may improve client satisfaction.

“…Getting pet owners to adhere to veterinary ectoparasite protection recommendations is not easy. Studies on human patient adherence to prescribed treatment regimens have shown that simpler, less frequent dosing regimens improve patient compliance across a variety of therapeutic classes [ 44 – 46 , 49 , 50 , 54 – 57 ]. In veterinary medicine, adherence to veterinary prescribed dosing intervals tends to be better when dosing is less frequent with extended dosing intervals [ 47 , 48 ].…”

Background The study objective was to examine cat owner ectoparasiticide purchases in the United States and estimate the impact of purchase gaps on timely ectoparasite protection administration. These purchase gaps lead to periods of time when cats are unprotected from ectoparasites. Methods Ectoparasiticide purchase transactions for individual cats from 671 U.S. veterinary clinics from January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019 were evaluated to determine time “gaps” between doses of ectoparasiticides purchased in a defined 12-month period. Ectoparasiticides examined were topically applied products that contained fluralaner, fipronil/(S)-methoprene/pyriproxyfen, imidacloprid/pyriproxyfen or selamectin as active ingredients. The duration of protection following administration of one dose was 8–12 weeks for the fluralaner-containing product and one month for the other products. Results Ectoparasiticide purchase records were obtained from 114,853 cat owners and analysis found that most owners bought ≤ 6 months of protection during the year, with 61–75% (depending on the product) purchasing just 1–3 months of protection. The size of the average purchase gap was determined for all dose combinations out to 12 months of protection (5–7 doses for fluralaner and 12 doses for the other three products dosed monthly. The largest gaps occurred between the first and second doses and the second and third doses. Average purchase gaps for the four different products between doses 1 and 2 ranged from 11.2 to 13.9 weeks and between doses 2 and 3 ranged from 7.7 to 12.2 weeks. The fraction of purchases separated by gaps and the average length of the gap tended to decrease with increasing number of doses purchased. Owners purchasing the 8 to 12-week duration product containing fluralaner provided ectoparasite protection (“doses plus gap period”) for a larger proportion of each 2-dose period compared with owners purchasing products administered monthly. Conclusions When cat owners purchase flea and tick medication, gaps between subsequent purchases reduces the proportion of time ectoparasite protection can be provided. The duration of the gap between doses has an impact on the effectiveness of flea/tick medication because it inserts a period without flea and tick protection between doses of flea and tick medication. The gaps between purchases were shorter and the period of ectoparasite protection was larger for owners purchasing a 12-week product than for owners purchasing a monthly product.

“…Research in the UK suggested that only 37 per cent of clients has shown full compliance with the medicines or follow-up practices recommended by the veterinarian. It has been revealed that approximately 70-85 percent of patient owners give only one-third of the required doses on time (Loftus, 2012).…”

Hastalıklar insanlık tarihinde rol oynamaya başladığından beri insanlar hastalıkları iyileştirmenin ve hastalıklardan korunmanın yollarını aramışlardır. Bu mücadele on binlerce yıl öncesinde yaşamış olan avcı-toplayıcı topluluklarda başlamış, günümüze kadar gelmiştir. Eski çağlarda hastalıkları iyileştirme misyonunu yüklenmiş insanların hayal dahi edemeyeceği ince teknikleri barındıran günümüz modern tıbbının gelmiş olduğu güncel duraklardan birisi de nanoteknolojidir. Bu derlemede bir nanoteknoloji ürünü olan nanopartiküller çeşitli metotlara göre sınıflandırılmıştır ve hazırlanmaları sırasında kullanılan yöntemlerden bahsedilmektedir. Nanopartiküllerin ilaç iletimi, görüntüleme ve aşı adjuvanları olarak kullanılabilmelerinin altında yatan prensipler ile birlikte nanopartiküllerin toksisitesi konuları incelenmiştir. Nanopartiküllere yönelik veteriner hekimlikte günümüzde kullanılmakta olan ve gelecekte uygulanma potansiyeli bulunan uygulamalardan bazılarına da değinilmiştir.
