It also demonstrated that the causes, contextual factors and perceived effects related to exposure to violence seem relatively stable across these differences.
Outcome measures: Leg pain and low back pain (0, none, to 10, worst), Oswestry Disability Index (0, none, to 100, worst), Patient-Specific Functional Scale (0, unable to perform, to 30, able to perform), global perceived effect (–5 to 5) and location of symptoms were measured at 2 and 4 weeks after randomisation.
After a follow-up period of six months patients were asked by email to fill in the NDI questionnaire again together with questions about the global perceived effect relating to pain and to function (T1).
The perceived effects of exposure to violence as described by the nurses in this study have consistently been demonstrated throughout the existing literature as evidenced by a thorough systematic review conducted by Needham, Abderhalden, Halfens, Fischer, and Dassen [ 26].
In the context of the current investigation, the subjective aspect of the impact of emotional distraction refers to its overall perceived effect (compared to that of the non-emotional distraction), regardless of whether it actually impaired cognitive performance or not.

Studies focusing on the patient's perspective in glaucoma, particularly with regard to the perceived effects of the disease on their day-to-day activities, have typically relied on questionnaires.
Another still is that white natives moved in response to perceived effects which never materialized.
Regarding perceived effects, participation was seen to be significantly more worthwhile in the SP group (RP 5.17 ±.37, SP 5.50 ±.43; p <.003; 6 = totally agree, 1 = don't agree at all).
Questions regarding global perceived effect (GPE) to explore minimal clinical important change in PROs.
