Stark S, Ewers M. Infrastructure- and workforce capacity for the provision of health care to people with invasive home mechanical ventilation: A scoping review of indicators and norms. ZEITSCHRIFT FUR EVIDENZ, FORTBILDUNG UND QUALITAT IM GESUNDHEITSWESEN 2023:S1865-9217(23)00037-5. [PMID: 37236850 DOI: 10.1016/j.zefq.2023.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Both the availability and adequacy of infrastructure- and workforce capacity are critical to provide integrated and continuing care, especially to people with complex care needs such as those with invasive home mechanical ventilation (HMV). This review aims to synthesise indicators and norms that are available for assessing this infrastructure- and workforce capacity. METHODS A scoping review was conducted by searching PubMed, Livivo, the grey literature, specific registries, and the websites of relevant professional societies for international publications on specific infrastructure- and workforce capacity indicators or norms on HMV from January 2000 up to and including March 2021. Exclusion criteria comprised missing indicator/norm information, differing populations/care settings, and secondary literature. Indicators and norms were extracted, clustered, and analysed by applying the WHO Monitoring and Evaluation Framework and qualitative content analysis. RESULTS Fifteen publications met the inclusion criteria. Forty-five indicators and 44 norms on HMV-related infrastructure- and workforce capacity were synthesised. The synthesis revealed a heterogeneous set of indicators and norms (mainly from cross-sectional surveys and guidelines). The methodological information on their definition, rationales, disaggregation, and evidence is scarce. CONCLUSION To enable integrated care in HMV and comparable populations with complex care needs, the identified limitations in assessing infrastructure- and workforce capacity should be addressed.

A Survey Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:874. [PMID: 36613195 PMCID: PMC9820158 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20010874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is becoming more widely available in many countries. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to measure the health-related quality of life and stress levels of patients ventilated mechanically at home. The relation between quality of life and stress levels was investigated including multiple regression analysis. METHODS 100 patients treated with HMV in Poland were surveyed with the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). RESULTS 26% of patients assessed their quality of life as bad or very bad and 34% as good or very good. Stress levels measured with PSS-10 Scale were high level. For the group of patients with neurological disorders, stress levels were significantly higher than for the group of patients with pulmonological disorders. CONCLUSIONS The higher the stress levels of patients, the lower the quality of life in particular domains. Improving the living conditions of HMV patients can influence improving their quality of life.

Pedersen ML, Handberg C, Dreyer P. Mental health reported in adult invasive home mechanical ventilation through a tracheostomy: A scoping review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NURSING STUDIES ADVANCES 2022; 4:100110. [PMID: 38745622 PMCID: PMC11080294 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnsa.2022.100110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Although people receiving invasive home mechanical ventilation through a tracheostomy are facing both physical and mental health challenges, healthcare services often focus mainly on physical symptoms. To ensure well-functioning treatment and care for people receiving tracheostomy ventilation in a home setting, their mental health needs to be promoted and seen as an integral part of their health in general. Objective This scoping review aimed to provide a summary of the current knowledge on the mental health of people receiving invasive home mechanical ventilation through a tracheostomy. Design A scoping review of published and gray literature based on the framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley and refined by the JBI was performed. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews checklist was used for reporting the findings. Methods A literature search was conducted by two researchers independently in the PubMed, CINAHL and PsycINFO databases. Additional searches for gray literature were conducted in Google, Google Scholar, websites of selected organisations, and the reference lists of included studies. The software system Covidence was used in the study selection process. For critical appraisal, the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was used. Results Thirteen studies were included in this review, of which six used qualitative, six quantitative, and one mixed methods. The majority of studies were authored in Europe (n = 10), followed by the Americas (n = 2) and the Western Pacific (n = 1). Mental health was investigated both directly and indirectly (61.5% vs. 38.5%). Categorizing the reported mental health outcomes, we found that emotional well-being was reported widely across the studies (n = 13), while psychological well-being (n = 5) and social well-being (n = 4) were less widely reported. Conclusions The mental health of people receiving home tracheostomy ventilation has received some scholarly attention. A heterogeneity of mental health outcomes was reported in the literature with emotional well-being being an important mental health area both in relation to the sub-components positive affect and quality of life appraisal. Mental health outcomes in relation to psychological well-being and social well-being were fragmented and only sparsely investigated.

Abstract
Home mechanical ventilation (HMV) improves quality of life and survival in patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMD). Developing countries may benefit from published evidence regarding the prevalence, cost of equipment, technical issues and organisation of HMV in NMD, facilitating the development of local turn-key HMV programmes. Unfortunately, such evidence is scattered in the existing literature. We searched Medline for publications in English and French from 2005 to 2020. This narrative review analyses 24 international programmes of HMV. The estimated prevalence (min-max) of HMV is ±7.3/100 000 population (1.2-47), all disorders combined. The prevalence of HMV is associated with the gross domestic product per capita in these 24 countries. The prevalence of NMD is about 30/100 000 population, of which ±10% would use HMV. Nocturnal (8/24 hour), discontinuous (8-16/24 hours) and continuous (>16/24 hours) ventilation is likely to concern about 60%, 20% and 20% of NMD patients using HMV. A minimal budget of about 168€/patient/year (504€/100 000 population), including the cost of equipment solely, should address the cost of HMV equipment in low-income countries. When services and maintenance are included, the budget can drastically increase up to between 3232 and 5760€/patient/year. Emerging programmes of HMV in developing countries reveal the positive impact of international cooperation. Today, at least 12 new middle, and low-income countries are developing HMV programmes. This review with updated data on prevalence, technical issues, cost of equipment and services for HMV should trigger objective dialogues between the stakeholders (patient associations, healthcare professionals and politicians); potentially leading to the production of workable strategies for the development of HMV in patients with NMD living in developing countries.

Experiences and views of patients, carers and healthcare professionals on using modems in domiciliary non-invasive ventilation (NIV): a qualitative study. BMJ Open Respir Res 2021; 7:7/1/e000510. [PMID: 32161065 PMCID: PMC7066605 DOI: 10.1136/bmjresp-2019-000510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2019] [Revised: 01/22/2020] [Accepted: 01/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Advances in technology means that domiciliary non-invasive ventilation (NIV) devices can be remotely monitored via modems in patients’ homes. Possible benefits and challenges of modem technology have yet to be established. This study explored the perspectives and experiences of patients, their carers and healthcare professionals (HCPs) on the addition of modem technology in managing home NIV. Methods A qualitative study using a combination of focus groups for HCPs and interviews for carers/patients was undertaken. 12 HCPs and 22 patients/carers participated. These focus groups and interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically. Results Five main themes were identified. ‘Surveillance: a paradox of findings’: HCPs were concerned about unduly scrutinising patients’ lives, potentially impacting on HCP patient relationships. Conversely, patients welcomed modem monitoring and did not express concerns regarding invasion of privacy. ‘Sanctions’: HCPs reported the modem increased access to care and allowed appropriate assessment of ongoing treatment. ‘Complacency and ethics’: HCPs expressed concerns patients may become complacent in seeking help due to expectations of modem monitoring, as well as being concerned regarding the ethics of modems. There was a suggestion patients and carers' expectations of monitoring were different to that of clinical practice, resulting in complacency in some cases. ‘Increased time for patient focused care’: HCPs in the focus groups described a number of ways in which using modems was more efficient. ‘Confidence: can be improved with technology’: patients and carers were positive about the impact of the modems on their health and well-being, particularly their confidence. Conclusion HCPs expressed concerns about surveillance were not corroborated by patients, suggesting acceptability of remote monitoring. Data suggests a need for increased clarity to patients/carers regarding clinical practice relating to responsiveness to modem data. The issue of complacency requires further consideration. Modem technology was acceptable and considered a useful addition by HCPs, patients and carers. Trial registration number NCT03905382

Abstract
Background: An increasing number of patients included in home mechanical ventilation (HMV) care has been under observation for many years. The study aimed to assess the patients opinion concerning the expected and perceived quality of care in an HMV system and a patient’s satisfaction with care. Methods: In 2017, patients treated with HMV were surveyed in Poland with the modified SERVQUAL questionnaire. Results: One hundred correctly completed surveys were analyzed. Patient Satisfaction Index was high. In every examined area, the expectations were statistically significant larger than the perception of the services. The biggest gap was in the tangibility dimension and the smallest gap was in the empathy dimension. Perceived respect and understanding for a patient’s needs are close to the expectations. Conclusions: The level of satisfaction with health care among patients treated with HMV in majority of investigated components is high. Moreover, the difference between perceived and expected quality of health care in the HMV system was relatively small in the opinion of the patients themselves. Further investigations with alternative methods are needed.
