description: Patients with rare illnesses may use medication information sources that are appreciably different from those used by patients with more common illnesses. This article's purpose is to describe vasculitis patients' most frequently used medication information sources, determine which sources patients perceive as credible, and explore gender differences in source use and perceived credibility. Using an online questionnaire, patients (n=232) indicated how often they obtained medication information from 12 sources during the previous year and rated the credibility of 6 sources. The authors used multivariate analysis of covariance and follow-up contrasts to test for gender differences in source use and conducted t tests to compare patients' perceived credibility ratings. Patients used physicians and the Internet most often to obtain medication information and rated them as the most credible sources. Male patients used their spouse/partner more often and rated them as more credible than did female patients. Female patients were more likely to use medication package inserts and the Internet and were less likely to use nurses than were male patients. There appear to be similarities and differences between the information-seeking behaviors of vasculitis patients and other patient populations. Because male patients view their spouse/partner as a credible information source, providers may want to involve the spouse/partner in prescription decision making.

description: Obese women are at higher risk for several cancers, but are less likely than normal weight women to engage in cancer prevention behaviors such as screening and physical activity. Targeted health messages may help increase healthy behaviors among vulnerable groups such as obese women. Using findings from focus groups with obese women, the authors created targeted messages to promote colorectal cancer screening and physical activity among obese women. The messages addressed psychosocial constructs, such as benefits and barriers to colorectal cancer screening and exercise, which were relevant to the target population. Messages were tested online with women age 50 years and older (N = 181). Participants were stratified by weight (obese vs. nonobese) and randomized to review either 10 targeted (intervention) or 10 generic (control) messages. Study outcomes included elaboration about the messages, message relevance and trustworthiness, and behavioral intentions. The authors used moderation and subgroup analyses to determine whether the intervention messages were better received by certain women. They found no differences in elaboration, behavioral intentions, relevance, or trustworthiness between intervention and control for either weight group. However, exercise intentions increased more (p=.06) among inactive obese women who received intervention messages (+2.9) compared with those who were in the control group (+1.2). Intervention messages also produced more elaboration among women who viewed their weight as a barrier to screening or exercise. Tailoring intervention messages for obese women on the basis of behavior and barriers may improve outcomes more than giving the same messages to all obese women.

description: Recent studies have linked patient misunderstanding of label instructions for as needed (PRN) medications to dosing errors. This study conducted a preliminary field test of patient-centered PRN label instructions. Patients participated in a hypothetical dosing experiment and were randomized to a patient-centered label (referred to as “Take-Wait-Stop”) or standard label. Participants were asked to demonstrate dosing the medicine over 24 hours. Three types of independent dosing errors were measured: (a) taking more than two pills at one time, (b) exceeding the maximum daily dose, and (c) waiting fewer than 4 hours between doses. Generalized linear models were used to assess the association between label type, health literacy, and sociodemographic characteristics. Participants' mean age was 39.8 years, 62.1% were female, 43.7% were White, and 72.4% had adequate literacy. Of participants, 31.8% who were shown the standard label demonstrated taking in excess of 6 pills in 24 hours compared with only 14.0% of participants who were shown the Take-Wait-Stop label (p = .05). Overall, only 1 person demonstrated he would take more than 2 pills in a single dose. Of the standard label group, 20.5% demonstrated dosing intervals of fewer than 4 hours compared with 23.3% of the Take-Wait-Stop label group (p = .75). In a multivariate model, participants who were exposed to the standard label were 2.5 times more likely to exceed the recommended maximum daily dose (95% CI [1.05, 7.70], p = .03). The Take-Wait-Stop label was beneficial in preventing participants from exceeding the maximum dose in 24 hours, although it did not significantly reduce other dosing errors.

description: We present a new high-contrast imaging testbed designed to provide complete solutions in wavefront sensing, control and starlight suppression with complex aperture telescopes. The testbed was designed to enable a wide range of studies of the effects of such telescope geometries, with primary mirror segmentation, central obstruction, and spiders. The associated diffraction features in the point spread function make high-contrast imaging more challenging. In particular the testbed will be compatible with both AFTA-like and ATLAST-like aperture shapes, respectively on-axis monolithic, and on-axis segmented telescopes. The testbed optical design was developed using a novel approach to define the layout and surface error requirements to minimize amplitude-induced errors at the target contrast level performance. In this communication we compare the as-built surface errors for each optic to their specifications based on end-to-end Fresnel modeling of the testbed. We also report on the testbed optical and optomechanical alignment performance, coronagraph design and manufacturing, and preliminary first light results.

description: The HEALTHY Study was a 3-year school-based intervention designed to change the behaviors of middle school students to reduce their risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. This report examines the relation between exposure to communications campaign materials and behavior change among students in the HEALTHY intervention schools. Using data from campaign tracking logs and student interviews, the authors examined communications campaign implementation and exposure to the communications campaign as well as health behavior change. Campaign tracking documents revealed variability across schools in the quantity of communications materials disseminated. Student interviews confirmed that there was variability in the proportion of students who reported receiving information from the communication campaign elements. Correlations and regression analysis controlling for semester examined the association between campaign exposure and behavior change across schools. There was a significant association between the proportion of students exposed to the campaign and the proportion of students who made changes in health behavior commensurate with study goals. The results suggest that, in the context of a multifaceted school-based health promotion intervention, schools that achieve a higher rate of exposure to communication campaign materials among the students may stimulate greater health behavior change.

description: Targeted imaging of the C-X-C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR4) in several cancer types has been an area of intensive research. The identification of an endogenous peptide antagonist of CXCR4, termed EPI-X4, opens the space for the development of a new class of radiotracers for non-invasive molecular imaging and treatment of these cancers. Rational drug design based on EPI-X4 led to optimized analogs (coded JMF-01 to JMF-07) with increased antagonistic activity. We developed DOTA-conjugated analogs and studied them in vitro labeled with 177Lu and 68Ga (work presented at EANM 2021). We report herein the in vivo feasibility study in CXCR4-expressing tumor xenografts.

description: Female fertility declines dramatically with age, and childbearing at older maternal ages has significant medical consequences for mother and infant that are well-known to health professionals. Despite this, the average maternal age in the United States continues to rise. Many factors likely contribute to this secular trend; to date, no research has examined whether American women are aware of the complications of deferring conception and how this correlates with health literacy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate women's knowledge of the implications of delaying pregnancy. A structured, in-person interview was administered to 300 women between 20 and 50 years of age attending 1 of 2 gynecologic clinics at a single institution. Demographic information, medical history, and gynecologic history were obtained; and participants answered questions about the implications of aging for fertility and pregnancy outcome. Health literacy and numeracy were assessed. Participants demonstrated knowledge deficits about the implications of aging on fertility and pregnancy, and many were unfamiliar with success rates of infertility treatments. Several demographic factors correlated with knowledge; health literacy and numeracy were both important predictive variables. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study of women's knowledge about fertility, aging, and their health literacy. Awareness of the importance of health literacy and numeracy should inform future educational efforts about fertility.

description: The overexpression of the C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) in more than 23 types of human cancer, followed by its role in tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis designates it as an attractive target in oncology. The identification of an endogenous peptide antagonist of CXCR4, termed EPI-X4 [1] and its optimized derivative EPI-X4 JM#21 [2], opens the space for the development of radiotracers for non-invasive molecular imaging and treatment (theranostics) of CXCR4-expressing cancers using the EPI-X4 as platform. One drawback of EPI-X4 and EPI-X4 JM#21, however, is their low stability in human plasma with t1/2 of 17 min and 6 min, respectively. Since the N-terminus of these peptides is metabolically vulnerable in plasma, different modification were introduced at the N-terminus of EPI-X4 leding to derivatives with significantly increased stability (t1/2 > 8 h). In addition, amidation at the C-terminus enabled further truncations of EPI-X4. A series of these derivatives was selected for conjugation to the DOTA chelator and labeling with Lutetium-177 (177Lu) in order to assess for first time the CXCR4 targeting ability of EPI-X4-based radiotracers in vitro and in vivo.

description: Si è deciso di prendere in considerazione un periodo estremamente delicato per l’evoluzione politica della Spagna. Ci stiamo riferendo all’epoca definita come“Ultimo Franchismo” ed agli esordi della Transición Española che conduce alla successiva democrazia. In questo momento di forte cambiamento, un elemento appare però stabile: la figura di Arias Navarro. Francisco Franco prima, ed il suo successore Don Juan Carlos di Borbone poi, nominano il medesimo Presidente del Governo. Quest’ultimo troverà non poche difficoltà nel ponderare la sua azione tra tradizione, con conseguente ancoraggio al passato, e l’inesorabile evoluzione del regime. All’interno di questo contesto, il nostro studio prenderà in considerazione un elemento specifico: Il Controllo dell’Informazione operato dal Movimiento sulla Stampa dell’epoca. Siamo partiti da alcuni quesiti di base: Durante gli ultimi anni del suo Governo, Franco applicava ancora un rigido controllo dell’informazione, attraverso la censura nei mezzi di informazione, o lo stesso poteva giudicarsi allentato? Terminato il Franchismo, si conclude anche la censura? Per quali ragioni il Caudillo inaspriva ed allentava le maglie del controllo dell’informazione in modo quasi periodico? La ricerca è stata suddivisa in due parti: a) l’aspetto storico-teorico analizzerà brevemente l’evoluzione del Governo del Generalísimo mettendola in relazione con i differenti dispositivi, norme e leggi promulgate negli anni con l’unico fine di limitare, censurare o eliminare il punto di vista “differente” espresso sui giornali e le riviste dell’epoca. b) la ricerca sul campo (della durata di circa dieci mesi), invece, è stata realizzata presso l’Archivio dell’Amministrazione Pubblica della Spagna, situato ad Alcalá de Henares. In seguito all’analisi di circa quattrocento fascicoli e procedimenti amministravi di censura predisposti dal Ministero della Cultura, lo studio dei dossier del Ministero dell’Informazione, nonchè delle note riservate emesse dallo stesso, abbiamo approfondito questioni quali il delicato ruolo del censore, i linguaggi della censura, il ruolo privilegiato della Prensa (trad. “stampa”) del Movimiento e l’iter amministrativo di un fascicolo. Al termine di tale ricerca, sono state predisposte le conclusioni e l’analisi sommativa e sostanziale di quanto appurato durante la ricerca. [a cura dell'autore]

description: Tadeusz Bigo, przedstawiając koncepcję samorządu, stwierdził, że można go ujmować w aspekcie socjalno-politycznym oraz prawnym. W drugim znaczeniu samorząd jest typem decentralizacji, czyli specyficzną formą organizacyjną administracji opartą na zasadzie niezależności hierarchicznej. O cechach szczególnych samorządu rozstrzyga zawsze aktualne prawo pozytywne. Stąd nie można skonstruować uniwersalnego pojęcia prawnego samorządu. Omawiając samorząd, pominął teorie polityczne. Jako najstarszą wskazał teorię naturalną o własnym prawie gminy do samorządu, opartą na prawie natury. Według niej byt prawny gminy i jej osobowość prawna są wcześniejsze od państwa i prawa pozytywnego. Tadeusz Bigo nie podzielał takich poglądów. Odrzucił teorie oparte na kryteriach materialnoprawnych, gdyż cały zakres działania samorządu jest poruczony przez ustawy. Nie jest możliwy podział a priori na sprawy lokalne i państwowe. Najważniejszy w samorządzie jest podmiot tej administracji. Takimi podmiotami są urzędnicy niezależni od władzy centralnej, grupy społeczne mające osobowość prawną, państwo, a organy samorządu są w istocie organami państwa.

Ventrillon's types included both sexes, so that the identification of S. lamberti is beyond doubt, notwithstanding the fact that Ventrillon states that the female claws are toothed, whereas in all specimens I have examined they are simple. Either Ventrillon made a mistake, or the species is variable in this respect, which is not unlikely. This species also occurs at Reunion as shown by specimens in the Paris Museum, collected at St. Denis, v-vi, 191 3 (Surcouf). It has been recorded from Mauritius, where it is said to be very common (d'Emmerez de Charmoy). It is surprising that it does not seem to occur on the African mainland, since it has such a wide range throughout the Oriental region.

description: Evidence-based behavior change interventions addressing gender dynamics must be identified and disseminated to improve child health outcomes. Interventions were identified from systematic searches of the published literature and a web-based search (Google and implementer's websites). Studies were eligible if an intervention addressed gender dynamics (i.e., norms, unequal access to resources), measured relevant behavioral outcomes (e.g., family planning, antenatal care, nutrition), used at least a moderate evaluation design, and were implemented in low- or middle-income countries. Of the 23 interventions identified, 22 addressed reproductive and maternal-child health behaviors (e.g., birth spacing, antenatal care, breastfeeding) that improve child health. Eight interventions were accommodating (i.e., acknowledged, but did not seek to change gender dynamics), and 15 were transformative (i.e., sought to change gender dynamics). The majority of evaluations (n=12), including interventions that engaged men and women to modify gender norms, had mixed effects. Evidence was most compelling for empowerment approaches (i.e., participatory action for maternal-child health; increase educational and economic resources, and modify norms to reduce child marriage). Two empowerment approaches had sufficient evidence to warrant scaling-up. Research is needed to assess promising approaches, particularly those that engage men and women to modify gender norms around communication and decision making between spouses.

description: Theoretischer Hintergrund: Demenzbetroffene sind in ihrer Handlungsfähigkeit und Partizipation eingeschränkt, wodurch ihre Lebensqualität leidet. Die Ergotherapie leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Förderung des Wohlbefindens von Klienten mit Demenz. Humor wird im Klientenkontakt von Mitarbeitern des Gesundheitswesens trotz bewiesener positiver Effekte häufig als unprofessionell angesehen. Aktuell existiert keine Literatur, welche den Effekt von Humorgebrauch in der ergotherapeutischen Arbeit auf Menschen mit einer Demenz behandelt.

Ziel: Es soll aufgezeigt werden, wie und mit welchem Effekt Humor in der Ergotherapie mit Menschen mit Demenz eingesetzt werden kann.
Methode: Sieben Hauptstudien wurden nach einer Literaturrecherche zu Humor und Demenz sowie Humor und Ergotherapie in fünf Datenbanken zur Bearbeitung der Fragestellung bestimmt und kritisch beurteilt. Die Resultate wurden nach Überthemen geordnet und in ergotherapeutische Modelle übertragen. Schlussfolgerungen wurden für den Humoreinsatz in der ergotherapeutischen Arbeit mit Klienten mit Demenz gezogen.

Relevante Ergebnisse: Humor in der Ergotherapie kann Personen mit Demenz aktivieren, die partnerschaftliche Zusammenarbeit, die Interaktion und das Well-Being fördern. Ergotherapeutinnen nutzen Humor als Mittel für die Beziehungsförderung, zur Klientenevaluation und zur Konfrontationsvermeidung.

Schlussfolgerung: Die Wahrnehmung von Humor ist subjektiv, daher kann keine allgemeingültige Anleitung für das Einbringen von Humor gegeben werden. Feingefühl und Empathie sind notwendig, damit Humor seine positive Wirkung nicht verfehlt.

description: Ordered distributions of carbon and substitutional dopant (A) atoms over the sites of a graphene lattice and problem of their stability are considered theoretically. The ranges of values of interatomic-interaction parameters providing the low-temperature stability of the graphene-based C7A, C3A, and CA superstructures are determined within the framework of both the third-nearest-neighbor Ising model and, more realistically, the all-coordination-shell interaction model. The first model results in the 'omission' (instability) of some predicted superstructures, while the second model shows that all predicted superstructures are stable at the certain values of interatomic-interaction energies. Even short-range interatomic interactions provide a stability of some superstructures, while only long-range interactions stabilize others.

description: The direct partial oxidation of CH4 to CH30H would offer considerable economic advantages over the current two stage process. It would also facilitate the utilisation of natural gas reserves in remote locations. To date, the catalytic partial oxidation of CH4 to CH30H has been extensively studied, however, it has proved to be an extremely demanding reaction which has met with little success. This study has adopted a design approach for the identification of new catalysts by considering the efficacy of single oxides for CH4 activation, CH30H oxidation and 02 isotope exchange activity. On the basis of CH30H stability Sb203 was the best oxide, showing only 3 % CH30H conversion at 500°C. The majority of oxides totally combusted CH30H below 400°C. Mo03, Nb20S, Ta20S and W03 showed high selectivity to HCHO and (CH3hO with low levels of COx throughout the range of conversion. These oxides were not considered unsuitable from the perspective of CH30H stability as the products HCHO and (CH3hO are not considered undesirable by products from a CH4 partial oxidation process. A weak but significant correlation was observed between the combustion activity of the oxides and the oxygen exchange rate. Using CH4/D2 exchange as an indication of CH4 activation it has been shown that Ga203 was a particularly good catalyst, followed by ZnO and Cr203. A relationship between exchange activity and oxide basicity was established for the rare earth sesquioxides, MgO and CaO. This relationship indicak:d that CH4 activation took place by H+ abstraction to form a surface CH3- species. From these results and literature studies of oxygen isotope exchange, dual component oxides have been formulated as catalysts for CH4 partial oxidation. The best catalysts was Ga203/Mo03, prepared by a physical mixing process. This catalyst showed an increased yield of CH30H over the homogeneous gas phase oxidation of CH4 in a quartz chips packed reactor. This increased yield has been attributed to the development of a cooperative effect between the two component oxides. Comparison of the catalytic data with the homogeneous reaction in the empty reactor tube showed that the presence of a catalyst had a detrimental effect on the CH30H yield.

description: Thema: Infolge des demografischen Wandels gibt es in der Schweiz eine immer grössere Anzahl älterer Menschen und die sozialen Beziehungen dieser Menschen nehmen stetig ab. Vor allem ältere Menschen in einer Institution sind dem Risiko einer sozialen Isolation ausgesetzt. Dies kann zu einer Verschlechterung der Lebensqualität führen. Generationenübergreifende Betätigungen mit Kindern sollen dem gegensteuern.

Fragestellung: Wie wirken sich generationenübergreifende Betätigungen mit Kindern auf die Lebensqualität der älteren Menschen in Institutionen aus?

Methode: Durch eine systematische Literaturrecherche wurden fünf Hauptstudien kritisch überprüft und mit der Theorie der Lebensqualität diskutiert. Ergebnisse von generationenübergreifenden Betätigungen werden verglichen und ein Transfer für die Praxis abgeleitet.

Ergebnisse: Generationenübergreifende Betätigungen führen zu positiven und negativen Auswirkungen der Lebensqualität auf der physischen, psychischen und sozialen Ebene. Qualitativ werden generationenübergreifende Betätigungen im Vergleich zu normalen Aktivitäten mit mehr Vergnügen wahrgenommen und tragen dazu bei, dass Bewohner einer Institution vermehrt soziale Kontakte haben. Dies soll das Risiko einer sozialen Isolation vermindern.

Schlussfolgerung: Die Lebensqualität ist abhängig von der subjektiven Sicht einer Person und kann mittels generationenübergreifenden Betätigungen gesteigert werden. Daher sehen die Verfasserinnen grosses Potenzial in diesen Betätigungen für die Institutionen in der Schweiz.

description: As the United States becomes more linguistically and culturally diverse, there is a need for effective health communication interventions that target diverse and most vulnerable populations. Latinos also have the lowest colorectal (CRC) screening rates of any ethnic group in the U.S. To address such disparities, health communication interventionists are often faced with the challenge to adapt existing interventions from English into Spanish in a way that retains essential elements of the original intervention while also addressing the linguistic needs and cultural perspectives of the target population. We describe the conceptual framework, context, rationale, methods, and findings of a formative research process used in creating a Spanish language version of an evidenced-based (English language) multimedia CRC screening decision aid. Our multi-step process included identification of essential elements of the existing intervention, literature review, assessment of the regional context and engagement of key stakeholders, and solicitation of direct input from target population. We integrated these findings in the creation of the new adapted intervention. We describe how we used this process to identify and integrate socio-cultural themes such as personalism (personalismo), familism (familismo), fear (miedo), embarrassment (verguenza), power distance (respeto), machismo, and trust (confianza) into the Spanish language decision aid.
Fluktuation im stationären sozialpädagogischen Betreuungssetting: Erklärungsversuche und Auswirkungen auf die psychische Gesundheit der verbleibenden Mitarbeitenden

description: Das Ziel der vorliegenden Bachelorarbeit war es, Erklärungsversuche und Auswirkungen von Fluktuation auf die verbleibenden Mitarbeitenden im stationären sozialpädagogischen Betreuungssetting aufzuzeigen. Dazu wurde zuerst der Begriff der Fluktuation definiert. Danach anhand von vier Stresstheorien – Belastungs-Beanspruchungs-Konzept, Job-Demands-Resources-Modell, transaktionales Stressmodell und Drei-Phasen-Modell – aufgezeigt, inwiefern die durch die Fluktuation entstehende Belastungen der Arbeitnehmer:innen die Gesundheit und Arbeitszufriedenheit derselben beeinträchtigt. Schliesslich wurden Massnahmen für ein betriebliches Gesundheitsmanagement sowie die Gesundheitsförderung vorgeschlagen, die Institutionen sowie Mitarbeitende umsetzen können.

Die Arbeit hat aufgezeigt, dass eine Kombination aus strukturellen und individuellen Massnahmen notwendig ist, um die Gesundheit und das Wohlbefinden der Mitarbeitenden zu fördern und somit die Fluktuation zu reduzieren. Massnahmen, welche die Erholung gewährleisten, zeigen sich als elementar. Dies lässt sich beispielsweise durch die Einführung von Sperrzeiten, in denen die Mitarbeitenden nicht für den Betrieb erreichbar sind und somit nicht kontaktiert werden, um einzuspringen, sicherstellen. Mit dieser strukturellen Massnahme kann die individuelle Massnahme der Selbstführsorge einher gehen. Mitarbeiter:innen wird mit definierten Arbeitssperrzeiten die Gelegenheit gegeben, geplant individuellen Bedürfnissen nachzugehen. Ein besonderes Augenmerk soll in Zeiten erhöhter Fluktuation auf Angestellte, welche Burnout gefährdet sind, gelegt werden.

description: Mental health care professionals at both the policy and practice levels must understand the varying mental health care needs of the populations they serve. This article considers geographic location an important factor in the perception of one’s need for professional help for psychological problems and one’s ability to access such services. A review of the current literature reveals that the prevalence rates of mental disorders do not differ significantly between rural and urban populations. However, numerous studies find that persons living in rural areas are using mental health care services at much lower rates than their urban counterparts. In this article, the issue of barriers to seeking mental health care services in rural areas is addressed and consideration is made regarding both the physical and mental obstacles that one may have to overcome in his or her treatment-seeking episode. I offer suggestions and highlight opportunities for mental health care professionals to take an active role in contributing to the improvement of mental health care services in rural areas. An understanding of mental health and service utilization in rural communities will enable mental health care professionals to develop effective policy and deliver services to meet the needs of rural residents who are suffering from a mental illness.

description: Reducing new HIV/STD infections among at-risk adolescents requires developing and evaluating evidence-based health communication approaches. Research over-whelmingly supports the conclusion that early sexual initiation is associated with STDs and other negative outcomes in later years (e.g., unintended pregnancy). The authors’ research group secured funding from the National Institute of Mental Health to develop, implement, and rigorously evaluate televised mass media campaigns to delay initiation of sexual intercourse among African American and White adolescents in two cities in the Southeastern United States. The focus of the present study is on the development and implementation of the campaigns, including (a) rationale and theoretical underpinnings; (b) collection, screening, and assessment of existing public service announcements; (c) development of new public service announcements; (d) study design and campaign airing plan; and (e) message exposure achieved in the campaigns. Health communication campaigns hold much promise in reaching at-risk adolescent populations with targeted, timely, and relevant risk-reduction messages.

description: The authors investigated the feasibility of using computer-assisted instruction in patients of varying literacy levels by examining patients’ preferences for learning and their ability to use 2 computer-based educational programs. A total of 263 participants 50–74 years of age with varying health literacy levels interacted with 1 of 2 educational computer programs as part of a randomized trial of a colorectal cancer screening decision aid. A baseline and postprogram evaluation survey were completed. More than half (56%) of the participants had limited health literacy. Regardless of literacy level, doctors were the most commonly used source of medical information—used frequently by 85% of limited and adequate literacy patients. In multivariate logistic regression, only those with health insurance (OR = 2.35, p = .06) and computer use experience (OR = 0.39, p .03) predicted the ability to complete the programs without assistance compared with those without health insurance or prior computer use, respectively. Although patients with limited health literacy had less computer experience, the majority completed the programs without any assistance and stated that they learned more than they would have from a brochure. Future research should investigate ways that computer-assisted instruction can be incorporated in medical care to enhance patient understanding.
