“…The exploratory factor analysis was performed using the R psych package (minimum residual [“minres”] method with “oblimin” rotation). 32 Using a threshold eigenvalue >1.0, 17,25,32 a single-factor model was identified as the best fit (factor 1 eigenvalue = 6.86; no other factors >1.0) (Figure 1). The 1-factor model explained 69% of the variability in the training data set.…”

Background: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have transitioned from primarily being used as research instruments to becoming increasingly used in the clinical setting to assess recovery and inform shared decision-making. However, there is a need to develop validated short-form PROM instruments to decrease patient burden and ease incorporation into clinical practice. Purpose: To assess the validity and responsiveness of a shortened version of the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (Short-WOSI) when compared with the full WOSI and other shoulder-related PROM instruments. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of data collected as part of an institutional review board–approved, multicenter cohort of 1160 patients undergoing surgical stabilization for shoulder instability. The following PROMs were captured preoperatively and 2 years after surgery: WOSI, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), and 36-Item Health Survey (RAND-36). The cohort was split into 2 data sets: a training set to be used in the development of the Short-WOSI (n = 580) and a test set to be used to assess the validity and responsiveness of the Short-WOSI relative to the full WOSI, ASES, SANE, and RAND-36. Results: The Short-WOSI demonstrated excellent internal consistency before surgery (Cronbach α = .83) and excellent internal consistency at the 2-year follow-up (Cronbach α = .93). The baseline, 2-year, and pre- to postoperative changes in Short-WOSI and WOSI were closely correlated ( r > 0.90), with both demonstrating large effect sizes (Short-WOSI = 1.92, WOSI = 1.81). Neither the Short-WOSI nor the WOSI correlated well with the other PROM instruments before ( r = 0.21-0.33) or after ( r = 0.25-0.38) surgery. The Short-WOSI, WOSI, and SANE scores were more responsive than ASES and RAND-36 scores. Conclusion: The 7-item Short-WOSI demonstrated excellent internal consistency and a lack of floor or ceiling effects. The Short-WOSI demonstrated excellent cross-sectional and longitudinal construct validity and was similarly responsive over time as the full WOSI. Neither the Short-WOSI nor WOSI correlated with more general shoulder PROMs, underscoring the advantage of using instability-specific instruments for this population.

“…In our country, the average life expectancy is 76.06 years, but of this, the average number of years that we can expect to live in good health is only 66 years (Bácsné et al, 2021). Therefore, a large number of studies on health maintenance and quality of life have been published (Crossman et al, 2015;Lengyel et al, 2021;Kinczel and Müller, 2023), the importance of which is undisputed. Dogs as companion animals have long been part of people's lives, but research on the health effects of dog ownership has gained momentum in recent decades (Cutt et al, 2007;Wells, 2009;Owen et al, 2010;Herzog, 2011;Westgarth et al, 2019;Albright et al, 2022;Suarez et al, 2022;Sellon et al, 2023).…”

Dogs, as companion animals, have many positive effects on the health and quality of life of dog owners, if the purpose of dog ownership is not as a watchdog but as a companion animal. Dogs can encourage the owner to engage in daily walks, play, sports and other interactions, which are beneficial for physical, mental and social well-being, as has been proven by various studies. The aim of our research was to investigate the role and impact of dogs on dog owners' physical activity, dog interactions and mental health. To achieve our goal, we created an online questionnaire that was completed by 220 dog owner respondents. Our research sought to understand how dog owners develop a relationship with their companion animal, the role of the dog in their active leisure time and the impact of the dog on the owner's mental health. We used a four-part questionnaire to obtain our answers. The first part covered demographic questions, the second part focused on the respondent's dog and the time spent with him/her doing sports. In the third part, the Monash Dog-Owner (MDORS) (Cavo et al., 2016) questionnaire was used and in the last part, the Mental Health Test was used. Our research has confirmed that exercising with dogs has positive effects on humans. Walking with a dog encourages exercise and also encourages the owner to spend time outdoors. Around 26% of the people in the study exercise together and 77.3% walk with their dog. The mental health of dog owners is medium and the level of happiness is above average. These results confirm that promoting dog ownership can help to achieve the objectives of public health strategies to encourage people to be more active, to exercise or to improve quality of life and health.

“…The Mindful Presence Scale (MPS) is a 6-item scale that was published in 2021. The authors designed it to be the first to study the effects of the construal level of items in a mindfulness scale--that is their level of abstraction from mindful behavior, categorized as high versus low-and how this might affect responses from participants, though the authors noted that their study did not display evidence that it influenced participant response (Lengyel et al, 2021). This is a very short trait mindfulness scale.…”

Dispositional mindfulness and its relationship to preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain in adults undergoing hysterectomy

The purpose of this dissertation was to examine how mindfulness practices might be able to benefit surgical patients. Manuscript 1 was a critical review of psychometric questionnaires used to measure mindfulness. It updated prior critiques of mindfulness questionnaires by including newer tools and was the first updated review of this topic in about a decade. Manuscript 2 was an integrative review of where mindfulness was studied with surgical patients, specifically around the experiences of preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain during the perioperative timeframe. It is likely the most comprehensive review of perioperative mindfulness studies to date. Manuscript 3 was an examination of dispositional mindfulness and preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain in adults having gynecological surgery. It went beyond many prior studies in that it included preoperative anxiety, postoperative pain, postoperative opioid consumption, and length of stay. Collectively, this dissertation work suggests that adding a preoperative mindfulness-based intervention into surgical pathways could have some benefit for patients by reducing anxiety, pain and opioid consumption. More research needs to be done to determine the specific benefits of mindfulness-based interventions in surgical patients, including which populations might benefit most, and the most effective intervention modality, timing, and delivery methods. journey, starting in Charlottesville, advancing in Boston, and then circling back again to Charlottesville. I would like to express my deep gratitude to my dissertation committee: Maria van Pelt, Ph.D., CRNA, Lichuan Ye, Ph.D., RN, and Kara Pavone, Ph.D., RN. They offered me mentorship, guidance, kindness and patience during every small and large step along the way. I want to acknowledge the Nurse Anesthesia program at Northeastern University for helping me to grow into a nursing specialty that I am extremely passionate about. I want to thank the CRNAs, anesthesiologists and other professionals that I have worked alongside during my time at BWH and UVA. I also want to thank Dr. Leigh Cantrell, Anita McCray and the rest of UVA GYN/ONC team for allowing me to work with their patients. I want to thank the UVA anesthesiology department and their research team, including Dr. Bhiken Naik, for their support during this process and specifically Dr. Siny Tsang for her support with data analysis.
