The impact of representative payee services on medication adherence among unstably housed people living with HIV/AIDS

Rates of viral suppression among people living with HIV/AIDS remain low, especially within marginalized populations such as people who are unstably housed. Representative payee is a service in which the US Social Security Administration appoints an individual or an organization to provide financial management for vulnerable individuals who are unable to manage their finances including housing payments. Little or no published research examines the association between financial management services such as representative payee and HIV clinical adherence. We conducted a pilot study with 18 unstably housed participants living with HIV/AIDS to examine the impact of representative payee services on viral suppression. Of the 11 participants who were not virally suppressed at baseline, 9 (81.8%) of them had achieved viral suppression at six-month follow-up (p?=?.004). Our findings suggest that providing unstably housed people living with HIV/AIDS with representative payee services may help them to improve their housing stability and clinical adherence. Additional research is needed to fully explore correlations between representative payee services and viral suppression.

开放管理的康复治疗与常规治疗精神分裂症的对照研究

本文报导了对阳性症状基本缓解或残留部分阳性症状而以阴性症状为主的精神分裂症病人进行开放管理的康复治疗与常规治疗的对照研究。入组病例均为男性,平均年龄34.3±9.1岁,平均病程10.7±6.8年。入组时平均住院日数341±210天。全部病例分为实验组与对照组,每组40例,用SANS、BPRS、NORS作为评定指标,经过9个月临床试验,SANS、NORS量表评分治疗前后差数比较,实验组明显高于对照组,差异非常显著。

Building the Information Infrastructure Required for Managed Care

Purpose: To describe the information used by health care purchasers, policymakers, and administrators when making the decisions required in a managed-care environment and what the profession must do to develop an information infrastructure to demonstrate its contribution to patient outcomes.
Scope: Managed care has created a competitive environment for all health care organizations in which they must offer the best value for their dollar. The purchasing processes germane to managed care rely heavily on information for the selection of cost-effective providers and the provision of efficient care. lnformation used in these processes is derived from transaction systems that largely describe physician and other health care worker's services, but not nursing care. Data analysis by computers requires that data be obtained using a standardized language. Currently, nursing lacks a unified approach to the use of a standardized nursing language.
Conclusions: Individual nurses, nurse managers, executives, and educators should strive to develop an information infrastructure that will overcome barriers. Nurses should both adopt a unified approach to a standardized language, and develop a nationwide information infrastructure that will demonstrate nursing's contribution to patient outcomes.

应用微机管理治疗高血压345例的临床分析

目的：应用WHO－ISH1999高血压分级标准，对345例进入微机管理NAH方案治疗网的病人，进行疗效和相关临床资料分析及评估。方法：将345例一般情况，家族史、烟酒史、既往史，实验室相关资料、体重指数等数据进行整理。最高血压、入网时血压和治疗后血压分级统计，了解变化。依降压程度分析疗效，并比较顺从性好与失访三个月的血压。按危险度分层对治疗和予后进行评估。结果：治疗后血压较入网时比较有显著性差异（P＜0.001）。降至正常者达55．94％。入网血压在1－3级者，治疗后94．33％血压均有下降，本组显效率为72.6％，总有效率为89％。失访三个月与顺从性好者血压控制有差异（P＜0．05）。本组危险性分层有264人（76．52％）为非常高危病人。结论：高血压防治应重视危险因子的作用。三低现象亟待改变。顺从性好，有规律地服药是控制高血压的关键。微机管理NAH方案疗效肯定，适合我国国情，应普及推广。扶危险度分层，指导制定个体化治疗方案，有助于减少心血管事件的发生，降低病死率，提高高血压患者的生活质量。
