Psychological Rehabilitation of COVID-19
Published in Wenguang Xia, Xiaolin Huang, Rehabilitation from COVID-19, 2021
Anxiety, fear, depression, etc., are common in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, it is crucial to establish dynamic assessment and early warnings for a psychological crisis.The interview method can be adopted to evaluate emotions and feelings. Other methods include observing and measuring the external manifestations and physiological changes of patients’ emotions and feelings. Evaluate patients using a rating scale. Because COVID-19 is infectious, Jiang Xixi et al. reported on psychological crisis intervention (PCI) to help medical workers, patients, and other affected people overcome any psychological difficulties through remote (telephone and internet) and/or on-site medical services. Fang Yiru et al. also suggested using remote networks and telephone consultations or services to reduce the risk of cross-infection during the pandemic.
Dignity and older people

It would be very wrong to think that all older people are treated with a general lack of dignity and respect within society. On the contrary, for example within healthcare, many older people using healthcare services report a high level of satisfaction with the treatment and care that they receive. Garratt, for the Acute Co-ordination Centre for the NHS Patient Survey Programme (Garratt, 2009; p.2), reported that: Nearly 8 in 10 patients (79%) rated the care they received in hospital as ‘excellent’ (43%) or ‘very good’ (35%) with those rating their overall care as ‘excellent’ increasing from 42% in 2007 to 43% in 2008 (reproduced with permission from the Picker Institute Europe).
Trust and Politics
Published in S. Alexander Haslam, Psychological Insights for Understanding COVID-19 and Society, 2020
Other researchers have proposed that there are different forms or types of trust. For example, Fisher, van Heerde, and Tucker (2010) proposed that there are three different types of trust: strategic trust, moral trust, and deliberative trust. These researchers tested their hypothesis using the data gathered from YouGov’s weekly online British Omnibus survey (n = 1,753; July 2007) and the British Election Study Continual Monitoring Panel (n = 1,018; March 2009). The survey included 13 questions designed to assess each type of trust judgment, including the following: on balance, politicians deliver on their promises (strategic trust); politicians share the same goals and values as me (moral trust); and parties represent supporters, not funders (deliberative trust). The participants reported how much trust they had in parties and politicians on an 11-point scale. In support of their formulations, the researchers found that items assessing each of the different types of trust (as identified above) statistically predicted the individuals’ rating of how much they trusted the government.
An investigation of the measurement properties of the physiotherapy therapeutic relationship measure in patients with musculoskeletal conditions

We used Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients with a 95% CI to examine the strength of association between total and domain scores and the patients’ THCP scores. Trust in healthcare providers in general is moderately correlated with trust in a specific physician [39]. Considering that trust is a part of therapeutic relationship, it is conceivable that the level of trust a person has in healthcare providers in general will be associated with therapeutic relationship. However, a high correlation with the P-TREM would indicate the P-TREM is not adequately capturing the relationship in a specific patient-physiotherapist dyad. We hypothesised there would be a small to moderate, positive correlation between patients’ trust in healthcare providers and the total and domain scores (r = 0.2 to 0.3) [38].

ICF-CY core set for CP contains a total of 135 items, including 34 items from the body function (b), 7 items from the body structure (s), 58 items from the activity and participation (d), and 36 items from the environmental factors (e). Domains b and d were selected in this study, excluding s and e to lessen the bias as much as possible. A total of 92 items were selected in domains b and d. The final scores were determined by a three-person inspection team (including a CP rehabilitation therapist, a rehabilitation therapist with ICF assessment certificate and a senior rehabilitation physician) after reaching a consensus on the disputed items. Each item was rated by the 5-point qualifier system: 0 = no impairment; 1 = mild impairment; 2 = moderate impairment; 3 = severe impairment; 4 = complete impairment. For 8 (not specified) and 9 (not applicable) in the original scoring system, both were recorded as missing value (NA). Information for rating came from medical histories, clinical examinations and observations, and descriptions from caregivers and health professionals.

In 2015, as a response to rising Medicare costs, the US Congress passed the Medicare Access and Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act. This law changed reimbursement for healthcare providers by shifting the traditional fee-for service system to a value-based, fee-for-performance system. In 2017, the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System was created to evaluate physicians and provide an opportunity to receive higher reimbursement for high-value care.1 Provider reimbursement is adjusted around patient experience surveys like the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey, which is a 32-item tool administered to randomly selected patients after their healthcare encounter.2 Patient satisfaction scores are adjusted to a provider rating that goes into physician value-based reimbursement algorithms, making equitable patient grading increasingly important to physician payment.3,4 Nonmodifiable patient characteristics such as ethnicity, gender, education, travel distance, and insurance status may bias a patient’s experience score.5–7 While this has been studied in several fields, there is currently a paucity of literature in the dermatology clinic setting.
