Item Analysis of patient compliance and progression of diabetic foot ulcer healing(2017-08-01) Hussain, Waasae M.; Patricia A. Gwirtz; Stephen O. Mathew; Raghu R. KrishnamoorthySelf-reporting serves as a mask for non-compliance in subjects in research studies. If a subject stays compliant with research guidelines it is assumed their diabetic foot ulcer would heal. This study evaluates the correlation between alleged patient compliance and the rate of healing of diabetic foot ulcers using a retrospective chart analysis. There was no correlation seen and the results showed normal distribution. This could be caused by unreported non-adherence.Item Clinical Research Patient Recruitment and Retention(2008-01-01) Chandler, Jessica; Michael Smith; John R. Burk; Kathy KwaakThe internship practicum requirement for my Masters degree was completed at Texas Pulmonary and Critical Care Consultants P.A., Research. I worked under the direction of John Burk, M.D., and Kathy Kwaak, RN CCRN. These were the principal investigator and study coordinator respectively. While at TPCCC, I learned about both the administrative and clinical aspects of clinical research. I also gained a great understanding of patient recruitment and retention. Along with the knowledge, I used current study data to complete my research project. The primary focus of my practicum was to evaluate different aspects of patient compliance and retention as a result of the form of patient recruitment. Forms of recruitment in this study include TPCCC database and central advertising. I evaluated five studies. I collected information regarding the number of individuals contacted, enrolled, consented, screened, and early terminations for each study. Furthermore, I determined the most effective form of recruitment at TPCCC. I also acquired data, via a questionnaire, regarding patients’ feelings toward research.
