The water content of contact lenses was calculated by the ratio of the weight of water in the hydrogel to the total weight of the hydrogel.
Information obtained will include mode, time, and content of contact, results of glucose or blood pressure self-monitoring, goals, and interventions.
Further, as Beich et al. (2003) highlights, conversations about alcohol can take place in different ways in primary healthcare settings, thus the effectiveness of brief intervention may be as much down to the well-established 'helping relationship' between patient and practitioner as the frequency or content of contact per se.
Frequencies were calculated to describe patients, characteristics of contacts, and content of contacts.
Nurses in both conditions fill in process forms in which the number and content of contacts will be registered.
The variability in number of contacts and content of contacts could be an indication that support is offered according to the patient's needs or wishes.
Several participants identified home-visiting as the preferred model, although others suggested that the content of contacts was more important than their location.
What support is provided by the palliative care case manager with regard to number of contacts, mode of contact, duration of contacts, time between the first and last recorded contact, persons present during contacts, and content of contacts?
Therefore this study aims to answer the following two questions: What support is provided by the palliative care case manager with regard to number of contacts, mode of contact, duration of contacts, time between the first and last recorded contact, persons present during contacts, and content of contacts?
We collect the following data: medical history using ICPC-2 (International Classification of Primary Care) [ 42], number and content of contacts during six months of follow up using ICPC-2, number and nature of referrals, and medication using ATC classification (Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical drug classification) [ 43].
For example, program exposure could be measured by the intensity and contents of contacts between FSWs and outreach workers.
