Patients' Perception of Patient-Centered Care and Associated Factors Among Patients Admitted in Private and Public Hospitals: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study.
The provision of patient-centered care is challenging around the globe, including in Ethiopia. There is a scarcity of information on this issue. Therefore, this study aimed to assess patients' perceptions of patient-centered care and associated factors among patients admitted to public and private hospitals in Bahir Dar city. ⋯ This study showed that the practice of patient-centered care in public hospitals was poor compared to that in private hospitals. Hence, hospitals should train their staff regarding a culture of patient-centered care in order to deliver high-quality and safer care.

Relationship Between Symptom Burden and Self-Management Among Patients with Chronic Heart Failure: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a cardiovascular disease that seriously jeopardizes global human health. Studies indicate that good self-management can be effective in controlling disease symptoms. However, there is still insufficient evidence on the association between self-management and symptom burden among CHF patients. This study aimed to observe and assess the correlation of the self-management with the symptom burden and each dimension status in patients with CHF. ⋯ Hospitalized patients with CHF had heavy overall symptom burdens, and their self-management levels were moderate to low. There was a negative correlation between the total self-management score and each dimension of symptom burden.

Chinese Community Home-Based Aging Institution Elders' Self-Management of Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases and Its Interrelationships with Social Support, E-Health Literacy, and Self Efficacy: A Serial Multiple Mediation Model.
The Chinese population is aging, and chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) prevalence is correspondingly increasing, along with associated disability and healthcare costs. Although self-management has been associated with social support and is a recognized priority, its mediating variables have not been studied in detail, particularly among old people with chronic diseases. ⋯ In Chinese community home-based aging institution elders, the relationship between self-reported self-management and social support is positively affected by the independent mediating effect of e-health literacy and general self-efficacy and the serial mediating effect of e-health literacy and general self-efficacy. Targeted self-management programs for elders with chronic NCDs have theoretical support, which could improve the health status and quality of life in this population.

Different Perspectives of Spanish Patients and Professionals on How a Dialysis Unit Should Be Designed.
The opinion of hemodialysis patients, professionals and family members is rarely considered in the design of a hemodialysis unit. ⋯ The professionals' view of patients' needs does not always coincide with the patients' perception. The inclusion of the perspective of people with kidney disease continues to be a pending issue in which we must improve both patient organizations and professionals, and the opinion of professionals and patients must be included in the design of a dialysis unit and the activities to be developed in it.
