“…For example, although coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death for African Americans in the United States [24,25], and cardiac revascularization procedures are well-established treatments for cardiovascular disease [26,27], a smaller proportion of African American patients than white patients receive such procedures in Veterans Administration (VA), Medicare, and other populations [28][29][30][31][32][33]. Aside from the significant disparities in cardiovascular procedures received, one study found that non-white pneumonia patients received fewer hospital services, with an accompanying longer hospital stay [34] than did white patients.…”

SummaryThis article is intended to provide a relatively complete picture of how a pilot study-conceived and initiated within an NIDCR-funded RRCMOH-matured into a solid line of investigation within that center and "with legs"into a fully funded study within the next generation of NIDCR centers on this topic of health disparities, the Centers for Research to Reduce Oral Health Disparities. It highlights the natural opportunity that these centers provide for multicenter, cross-disciplinary research and for research career pipelining for college and dental school students; with a focus, in this case, on minority students.Furthermore, this series of events demonstrates the rich potential that these types of research centers have to contribute in ways that far exceed the scientific outcomes that form their core. In this instance, the NMOHRC played a central-and critical, if unanticipated-role in contributing to two events of national significance, namely the presidential apology to the African American community for the research abuses of the USPHS-Tuskegee syphilis study and the establishment of the National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care at Tuskegee University. Origins of the Tuskegee Legacy ProjectThe Tuskegee Legacy Project (TLP) has its origins in casual Web surfing by a biomedical reference librarian on her laptop computer on a fall evening in 1993 while relaxing in the dormer room, which served as the family den. Ms. B.J. Frey, Head Reference Librarian at the * Corresponding author. E-mail address: ralph.katz@nyu.edu (R.V. Katz).This research project was supported by NIDCR/NIH grant #P50 DE10592 (University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey/ University of Connecticut Northeastern Minority Oral Health Research Center), and is currently supported in the analysis phase by NIDCR/NIH grant #U54 DE 14257 (NYU Oral Cancer RAAHP Center).Research Centers supported by the NIH are fully intended to create a vortex of scientific activity that goes well beyond the direct scientific aims of the studies initially funded within those centers. The maxim is that the whole should be greater than the sum of its initial constituent studies or parts. We believe that NMOHRC did indeed achieve that maxim-even extending "the whole" to include broad societal impact, well beyond the scope of important, but mere, scientific outcomes-all within the concept and appropriate functions of a scientific NIHfunded research center.

Social Work in Health Care

Quality of life is becoming recognized increasingly as an important outcome measure which needs to be considered by social workers. However, there does not appear to be a clear consensus about the definition of quality of life. In addition, social workers are likely to experience difficulties choosing and applying an appropriate instrument with which to measure quality of life because of the many available instruments purporting to assess quality of life. This paper discusses the definition of health-related quality of life and explains the main measurement properties of an instrument that must be appraised when considering whether or not an instrument is appropriate. The paper will assist social workers to make an informed choice about measures of healthrelated quality of life.Key words: quality of life, measuring outcomes Please send all correspondence to Martin Dempster at the above address.Health-related quality of life Selecting A Measure Of Health Related Quality Of LifeAbstract Quality of life is becoming recognized increasingly as an important outcome measure

“…Una adecuada evaluación debe abarcar otras esferas, como la psíquica y la social que, al no poder ser medidas de forma objetiva, requieren de instrumentos psicométricos tipo cuestionario. Uno de estos aspectos más estudiados ha sido la calidad de vida del paciente, empleando cuestionarios con diseño ad hoc 1 , no estructurados 2 , con exploración de las dimensiones física, psíquica y emocional 3 11 . El desarrollo de la investigación en esta área ha comparado distintos cuestionarios 12,13 .…”

Los objetivos del presente estudio son el diseño y validación de SATISCORE, un cuestionario para medir la satisfacción del paciente tras ser intervenido de cirugía cardiaca. Métodos: El cuestionario tentativo quedó conformado por 24 enunciados con un posicionamiento de escala Likert con 5 anclajes, repartidos en 6 dimensiones. La escala de salida es la suma de las puntuaciones dadas a cada enunciado y define un rango de satisfacción de 24 a 120 puntos, y se administra a domicilio a 100 pacientes escogidos al azar entre los que han sido sometidos a alguna intervención quirúrgica cardiaca en Hospiten Rambla. Por otra parte, se les administró en paralelo el EuroQoL-5D, que mide estado de salud global autopercibida en una escala de 0 a 100. Para la validación del cuestionario se determinó la validez de constructo y la validez interna o fiabilidad. Resultados: Los resultados de la encuesta arrojan una puntuación global para la escala de salida del cuestionario de satisfacción de 102 puntos (43-120) y del EuroQoL-5D de 80 (20-100) puntos. Conclusiones: SATISCORE es una herramienta válida, fiable y sencilla, útil en la valoración de la satisfacción del paciente con cirugía cardiaca, que puede servir para el seguimiento del paciente intervenido a corto, mediano y largo plazo. a b s t r a c t Introduction and objectives: Patient satisfaction with heart surgery is an aspect that has been neglected. The objectives of the present study are the design and validation of SATISCORE, a questionnaire to measure patient satisfaction after having undergone heart surgery. Methods: The tentative questionnaire consisted of 24 statements with a 5-point Likert scale rating spread over 6 dimensions. The scale output is the sum of the scores given to each statement, and defines a range of satisfaction from 24 to 120 points. The questionnaire was completed at home by 100 patients chosen at random from those who were subjected to heart surgery in Hospital Hospiten Rambla, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. They were also completed the EuroQoL-5D,which measures the patient self-perception of overall health on a scale of 0 to 100. To validate the questionnaire, the construct validity and internal validity or reliability were defined. Results: The results of the questionnaire produced an overall score, for the scale output of the satisfaction questionnaire, of 102 points (43-120), and for the EuroQoL-5D of 80 (20-100) points. Conclusions: SATISCORE is a valid, reliable and simple tool, useful in the patient evaluation of cardiac surgery, and may be useful in the short, medium and long term monitoring of the surgical patient.
