FOPC yr 2 Flashcards
Patient centred care - 5 aspects?
respect choice and empowerment patient involvement in healthcare policy access and support information
ICF?
International classification of function
ICF - 3 categroies?
Body and structure
Activity limitation
participation restriction
Body and structure?
abnormality of structure or organ/ system function
Activity limitation
functional performance
Participation restriction
struggle to interact at social and environmental level
vulnerability
ability to resist disease, repair damage and restore homeostasis
incidence VS prevalence
incidence = new cases prevalence = existing cases at a given time
Common cold - incidence and prevalence?
High incidence
low prevalence
three types of natural history
acute onset - Stroke
gradual - angina
relapse and remission - cancer
biographical disruption
loss of confidence in self/ social interaction due to long term condition
Burden of treatment - caused by?
High demands of health care system on carers and patients
Burden of treatment - 4 aspects
Need to change behaviour, monitor others
Record and monitor things at home
Polypharmacy - lots of complex meds
Have to navigate a complex and unco-ordinated social and healthcare system
two models of disability?
social and medical model
Medical model of disability
individual cause - car crash
underlying pathology
treated by individual intervention and personal behaviour change
Social model of disability
caused by a societal factor - low wages, poor housing
needs political or social change - action to heat/ insulate houses better
needs society to change it’s attitude - use of more correct, less offensive language.
impacts on a patients reaction to disability
nature of the disease time to adapt - long course or short? support network coping strategies impact on their role in society - stop, change information base - education response of others emotional personality
The sick role
refrain from daily tasks
rest, excused from social responsibilities
need to try to get better
work with doctor and HC professionals to get better
take medication and comply with treatment plan
It’s not their fault
Three different impacts of disability
personal
social
economic
how many disabled people in the UK are in work?
1/3
criteria for a screening programme?
knowledge of the disease - a precursor stage that is recognisable
knowledge of the test - suitable to general population
treatment for the disease - that will stop the progression
cost consideration - cheaper to screen and treat early rather than just treating on diagnosis
factors affecting the uptake of care
lay referral - asking someone else whether they should go
Information - peers, internet, TV, NHS choices
Medical - worsening symptoms, duration, visible symptoms
non medical - wife sent me, crisis, ideas/concerns, class, gender, age
how to work out the relative risk
number of event in at risk group/ event in non at risk group
relative risk of lung cancer in smoking - calculation?
LC in smoker / LC in non smoker
problems with epidemiology?
describes the population not the individual
sources of epidemiology data
mortality data GP data - morbidity and long term conditions Cancer statistics A and E drugs misuse data expenditure data census and home surveys
define health literacy
knowledge, skills, understanding and confidence to use health data
highest grade of SIGN evidence?
A
role of a descriptive study
tells you the amount and distribution of a disease
name three analytical studies
cross section
case control
cohort
cross section
amount of people with disease at a given point
case control study
compare people with disease to those without, compare role of exposure to various risk factors
cohort study
take a group of people without
follow through to see who gets it
gold standard for clinical trials?
Randomised control trial
RCT?
take a group of people
give half new treatment
give other half placebo/ old treatment
Bias - four types
selection
information
follow up
systematic
selection bias
selecting people who are more likely to have the disease
follow up bias
following up closer on certain groups
systematic bias
measuring techniques are wrong
things to consider in interpreting data
standardisation - remove difference in age
quality of data
case definition - if people were selected for having a certain condition - was the condition defined the same way for all participants
coding - when data is collected and recorded, are they all being recorded the same way?
ascertainment - how was data collected, were people missed?
