终末期肾病单病种付费实施现况及个人支付费用影响因素研究

单病种付费对于控制医疗费用的不合理增长与促进机构医疗服务质量的提高具有重要意义.通过对浙江省某市终末期肾病参保患者医疗费用支出、卫生服务利用等数据的收集,运用统计学分析工具,分析不同类型参保患者实际费用支出及卫生服务利用的差异,并探讨个人支付费用的影响因素.建议该市在终末期肾病单病种政策制定中建立动态的定额结算标准;鼓励与引导病情较轻的患者优先进行腹膜透析;并完善多层次的医疗保障制度,鼓励低收入家庭患者尽早就医.     

单病种付费推行障碍的理性思考

在简要阐述单病种付费制度改革现状的基础上,从外部宏观环境、行业环境,外部相关政策以及医院内部环境等方面,分别深刻反思当前单病种付费制度改革推行所存在的主要障碍,最后提出强化单病种付费制度改革的对策建议,特别强调当前单病种付费改革推行的关键在于提高医院核心管理层的认识,统一思想.     

公立医院体制机制与医疗保险付费方式的组合选择

公立医院体制机制与医疗保险付费方式的组合模式决定公立医院体制机制与医疗保险付费方式的协同改革。为正确选择公立医院体制机制与医疗保险付费方式的组合模式,在对医疗保险两种付费方式、公立医院四种体制机制、公立医院体制机制与医疗保险付费方式八种组合模式进行比较的基础上,首先提出了公立医院体制机制与医疗保险付费方式组合的两种适配模式,进而提出了公立医院体制机制与医疗保险付费方式组合的优先选择方向和权变选择策略,为当前我国公立医院体制机制与医疗保险付费方式的协同改革提供参考。     

农村与城镇终末期肾病患者临床状况比较分析

时比分析农村与城镇终末期肾病患者的临床状况,旨在了解新农合政策带给农村终末期肾病患者的益处及今后还需完善和努力之处.对广西壮族自治区人民医院血液净化治疗中心2007年新增的238例终末期肾病患者按农村与城镇进行分组对比分析.96例农村患者,88例选择血液透析,8例放弃治疗;142例城镇患者,23例选择腹膜透析,108例血液透析,11例放弃.无论是城镇还是农村患者慢性肾炎为主要的原发病、都存在透析过晚、并发症发生率高、急诊透析率高的现象.与城镇组相比,农村组患者平均年龄、肾痛知晓率、残余肾功能、血红蛋白、二氧化碳结合力、尿素清除指数低于城镇组(P<0.05);梗阻性肾病发病率、并发症发生率、急诊透析率、死亡率、失访率高于城镇组(P<0.05).新农合的实施使农村终末期肾病患者获得了治疗的机会,针对农村患者肾病知晓率低、临床状况差的特点,需加强农村慢性肾病的防治工作.

老年脑卒中患者自我感受负担影响因素研究及干预策略

调查老年脑卒中患者的自我感受负担现状,分析其相关因素并提出策略.应用一般人口学资料问卷和自我感受负担量表对锦州市某医院106名老年脑卒中患者进行问卷调查,并分析其影响因素.结果显示患者自我感受负担得分为(37.32±5.48)分,处于中等水平.其影响因素是医疗费用的付费方式、生活自理能力和照顾者的健康状况.老年脑卒中患者自我感受负担明显,且受多种因素的影响.因此应采取有效的干预措施,减轻患者的自我感受负担,有利于患者的治疗.     

国外DRGs付费制度对我国疾病付费模式的启示

大连市某医院脑血管单病种结算标准与医疗费用差异分析

为研究现行单病种结算标准与医院实际医疗费用的差异,促进单病种结算方式发展,以大连市某三级甲等医院为研究对象,收集该医院2012年1月~2014年12月三种脑血管病单病种医疗保险数据444例,应用数理统计法、文献研究法和定性访谈法,对脑血管病单病种的费用特征和定额标准合理性进行分析。结果显示,该医院脑血管病单病种费用普遍超标,定额标准的提高难以弥补医院亏损。因此应当完善单病种界定标准,制定科学合理的结算标准,在确保医疗质量的同时减少医疗费用不合理增长。     

终末期肾病治疗方法的比较

终末期肾病是各种病因所致的慢性肾脏疾病的最终阶段.血液透析、腹膜透析和肾移植是目前临床上治疗终末期肾病的主要肾脏替代疗法,针对三者的优缺点,从治疗方式、疗效、费用等方面进行比较,研究结果显示肾移植的治疗效果在整体上优于CAPD和血液透析,持续性非卧床腹膜透析(CAPD)的治疗效果略优于血透,肾移植是成本-效果比最好的ESRD替代治疗方法.     

终末期肾病患者替代治疗方法的临床决策

血液透析、腹膜透析和肾移植是终末期肾病患者替代治疗的主要方法,三种治疗方法各有优缺点.临床上应根据患者原发病因、替代治疗并发症、卫生经济学、生存质量、所在地医疗条件、非医疗因素等作出科学临床决策,最大限度延长患者生命,提高生存质量.     

Together – apart: in touch in a time of separation

This paper explores the experience of working as a Jungian analyst through the various phases of the global COVID-19 pandemic, examining the importance of the physical containing space alongside the analyst’s internal mind and how technology can both help and hinder understanding. A number of clinical vignettes illustrate the challenge of communicating over a distance, paying particular attention to the way countertransference phenomena can become re-attuned. Reference is made to mythology and symbols of hope, and consideration given to the meaning and purpose of the pandemic.     

The Possibility of Meaning in Human Evolution

Science undermines the certitude of non-naturalistic answers to the question of whether human life has meaning. I explore whether evolution can provide a naturalistic basis for existential meaning. Using the work of philosopher Daniel Dennett and scientist Ursula Goodenough, I argue that evolution is the locus of the possibility of meaning because it has produced intentionality, the matrix of consciousness. I conclude that the question of the meaning of human life is an existentialist one: existential meaning is a product of the individual and collective tasks human beings undertake.     

Phenotypic plasticity and archetype: a response to common objections to the biological theory of archetype and instinct

Since Jung’s death in 1961, scholars have attempted to integrate growing biological science data into Jungian concepts such as the collective unconscious, instincts and the archetypes. This enterprise has been challenging due to persistent false dichotomies of gene and environment occasionally arising. Recent works by Roesler (2022a, 2022b) for example, have raised objections to the biological theory of archetypes, but the objections are plagued by such dichotomies. The concept of phenotypic plasticity, however, helps to both avoid this problem as well as bridge the gap between competing theories into a more integrated model with solid biological foundations.     

When is it time to stop? When good enough becomes bad enough

This article draws on Winnicott’s concept of the good enough mother to discuss how to know whether a therapeutic situation is good enough to continue or bad enough to end. This dilemma is explored in terms of clinical syndromes, such as anorexia and pathological gambling, but focuses mainly on analyst-initiated endings, which are termed the ‘Casablanca dilemma’, based on an amplification of the ending of the film Casablanca. The author goes on to discuss such one-sided endings, drawing on interviews with 40 analysts and therapists about their clinical experience. A typology of bad enough endings is presented. The psychological differences between a good enough analysis as opposed to a bad enough one are explored through the ideas of Winnicott and Neumann.     

Kann Es Ein Argument Für Den Skeptizismus Geben? Das Epistemische Problem Der Irrtumsmöglichkeit

Summary  Is there any argument for scepticism? The epistemic problem of the possibility of error. Arguments for scepticism rest on the assumption that knowledge claims are fallible. For this reason the concept of knowledge appears to be questionable. Since it is necessary to distinguish doubts from possible doubts, the arguments for scepticism appear to be unconvincing. If we take it into account that we know something that is immune to doubt, we should draw the conclusion that, contrary to scepticism, knowledge claims have to be compatible with being fallible. Thus any knowledge claim is capable of being doubted.     

The transcendent function in Spitteler’s Prometheus and Epimetheus

In August 2020, John Beebe and Steve Myers met via Zoom to discuss their differing interpretations of psychological typology and the different sources within Jung’s writings that influenced their books: Integrity in Depth: Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type (Beebe), and Myers-Briggs Typology vs Jungian Individuation (Myers). The discussion centred on Spitteler’s epic poem Prometheus und Epimetheus, which forms the basis of chapter V of Psychological Types. This is both the largest chapter and one of two chapters that Jung highlighted in the Argentine foreword as containing the essence of the book. Jung’s book is primarily about the transformation of personality rather than the categorization of people. Although it contains a critical psychology that deconstructs the nature of consciousness, that is only one half of the book and a stepping-stone to the other half, which is the reconciliation of opposites with particular emphasis on the relation of consciousness and the unconscious. Jung assumed that readers were already familiar with Prometheus und Epimetheus, an understanding of which sheds light on the nature of the transformation that Jung described – the development of a new attitude towards attitude itself.     

Seeing in the Dark: A View into Dissociation and Healing

In this paper, I will explore the role of art-making, the experience of trauma and dissociation, and the process of working with self-states from an analytic and creative frame. Relevant literature on dissociation, trauma, and the use of art will be discussed. A case involving my work with an adolescent girl who had experienced sexual abuse from a family member will be shared, with an emphasis on the meaningful role images played during the therapeutic process. Both Jungian and psychoanalytic models of conceptualizing and working with dissociation are included, following Donald Kalsched’s (2013) recommendation for a “binocular stance” to treatment, including both a focus on the inner, intrapsychic world and the interpersonal, relational realm, and how art images both illuminated and expressed these realms. Within the therapeutic process, art images allowed the therapist a view into the client’s unconscious process, and created a meeting ground for dissociative barriers to be gradually seen, felt and known, by both therapist and client. The experience of dissociation, in images and in session, provided a reference point for myself and my client, Taylor, to develop a shared understanding and a framework for growth.
