Using non-linear decomposition to explain the discriminatory effects of male-female differentials in access to care: a cardiac rehabilitation case study.

15 Aug 2009 This paper demonstrates the use of non-linear decomposition for identifying discrimination in referral to a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program. The application is important because the methods are not commonly applied in this context. A secondary ... Read more...

Effectiveness of a family-oriented rehabilitation program on the quality of life of parents of chronically ill children.

21 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Parents of chronically ill children face numerous burdens in daily life, which can impair their quality of life (QoL) significantly. Therefore in family-oriented rehabilitation, not only the children themselves, but also their parents ... Read more...

Patients' perception of monitoring during cardiac rehabilitation: taking the message home.

29 Jun 2009 Graduates of a cardiac rehabilitation program reported they did not use self-monitoring skills at home. This unexpected outcome led to an investigation of the reasons for this lack of use. Results of the study informed program revision including the ... Read more...
