Caro Ginone, so che sei oberato, ma per quanto  mi riguarda, mandami 
direttamente il full test di qualche lavoro "orfano" che ti sembti adeguato, 
mi andrà sicuramente bene e risparmiamo un passaggio

> Setting standards in homeopathic practice-A pre-audit exploring
> motivation and expectation for patients attending the Bristol
> Homeopathic Hospital
> EA Thompson, J Dahr, M Susan and S Barron
>
> Objective - To set a standard of routine goal setting with patients
> within their package of care at the Bristol Homeopathic Hospital. We
> hope goal setting will improve communication with our patients and
> health professional colleagues, focus outcome and improve targeting
> of problems. We therefore explored motivation for and expectation of
> hospital attendance from a patient perspective.
> Materials and methods - Questionnaire based pre-audit survey. The
> questionnaire was administered to 110 consecutive patients attending
> outpatients and 20 parents of children attending with asthma and
> eczema to gain understanding of motivation and expectation and more
> specific information for two of the commonest conditions.
> Results - Seventy percent of patients had used some form of
> complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), 35% had used homeopathy
> and only 10% had specialist homeopathic care, the majority of use
> being over the counter. The majority of patients had been encouraged
> by their General Practitioners, themselves and by word of mouth with
> family and friends. Few patients cited the media as a major
> influence. "Pull" factors such as "treating the whole person" were
> given greater emphasis except for parents of children with asthma and
> eczema for whom "push" factors such as fear of steroid side effects
> predominated. In the main patient expectations were reasonable with
> the majority hoping to see improvements in their conditions. A fifth
> of patients hoped to reduce conventional medications.
> Conclusions - Patients had used CAM in general but not homeopathy in
> particular. Encouragement from doctors, self motivation and word of
> mouth most motivated patients to come and might suggest more direct
> communication with General Practitioners would be worthwhile. Being
> treated as a whole person was the most significant motivating factor,
> with a significant number of patients wishing to reduce medication.
> Goal setting and direct communication with other healthcare
> professionals is essential for safety, to focus outcome, and to value
> the role of homeopathy in a patient's healthcare. As a result we have
> set a standard whereby treatment goals are agreed with patients and
> communicated to referring health care professionals at each
> outpatient visit. This could be audited.
