赠款基金研究远程医疗研究HIV护理过渡
患有艾滋病毒的年轻人通常难以从儿科过渡到成人护理，以及Cizik护理学院的一项新研究艾米丽·巴尔（Emily Barr）, PhD, RN, CPNP-PC, CNM, looks at whether and how telehealth can help.
巴尔（Barr）于1990年代初开始与艾滋病毒（HIV）的儿童合作，将她的研究重点放在治疗研究和患者治疗者的关系上。beplay苹果手机能用吗当年轻人从儿科护理中年龄增长时，他们必须驾驶新的以成人为中心的新系统，并对自己的护理承担更多的个人责任。
巴尔说：“由于各种原因，年轻人很难过渡到成人护理。”“他们在小儿世界建立了家庭型关系，然后一天突然，您必须去另一个诊所去看新的提供商。”
在年轻人中管理艾滋病毒通常每年需要大约四次办公室访问，与其他所有事情一样，大流行期间，许多患者的约会虚拟。这一转变还促使Barr将远程医疗添加到她对患者提供者信任的研究中。
巴尔加入Cizik护理学院的教师January 2022 and brought with her the research she began while teaching and earning her PhD at the University of Colorado College of Nursing. With her new pilot project, titled “TEC-HIV: Telehealth use and engagement in care in young adults living with HIV,” she became the school’s second faculty member to receive a $50,000 seed grant from the Texas Development Center for AIDS Research (TX D-CFAR).
Only 40-50 percent of people ages 15-24 who are living with HIV will continue receiving care within a year after transitioning to adult services, Barr noted in her abstract. Her project will survey HIV care providers nationally and review charts from high-volume HIV clinics in the Houston area to assess the barriers and benefits of telehealth for engaging with this vulnerable population.
Failure to successfully transition from pediatric to adult care can not only have life-threatening consequences for individual patients, it can pose public health risk as well.
巴尔说：“目的是让年轻人保持艾滋病毒的照料，以便他们可以长寿，健康的生活，并可以防止艾滋病毒向伴侣传播。”“如果我们想结束休斯敦的艾滋病毒流行，我们希望将艾滋病毒的年轻人保留在护理中，并支持他们服用挽救生命的医学。”
