Nielsen MT, Nielsen MH, Sørensen S, Skovdal M. The social and organisational factors shaping acceptability of a self-management education and exercise intervention for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis in Greenland. Int J Circumpolar Health 2024; 83:2350120. [PMID: 38704858 PMCID: PMC11073430 DOI: 10.1080/22423982.2024.2350120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the experiences and perspectives of people with osteoarthritis attending the "Osteoarthritis School" (OA School) in Nuuk, Greenland to generate insights and lessons that can inform the development of self-management education and exercise interventions for people with other lifestyle conditions in a Greenland context. We conducted a qualitative interpretive description (ID) study based on ten semi-structured interviews with people with hip or knee osteoarthritis. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded. Using ID, we identified three themes: 1) perceptions and experiences of how the OA School intervention was organised (time and place); 2) perspectives and experiences of the education and exercise components (social factors, motivation, and education); and 3) significant change stories (physical and mental improvements and increased knowledge of OA). Social and organisational factors, such as working out with peers and the time and place of the intervention, influenced the participants' acceptance of the OA School intervention. Knowledge from this study will help us gain insight into what to address when developing future self-management education and exercise interventions in the Greenlandic healthcare system.

Which Educational Topics and Smartphone App Functions Are Prioritized by US Patients With Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases? A Mixed-Methods Study. J Rheumatol 2024; 51:904-912.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to identify (1) what types of information US adults with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMD) perceive as most important to know about their disease, and (2) what functions they would use in an RMD-specific smartphone app. METHODS Nominal groups with patients with RMD were conducted using online tools to generate a list of needed educational topics. Based on nominal group results, a survey with final educational items was administered online, along with questions about desired functions of a smartphone app for RMD and wearable use, to patients within a large community rheumatology practice-based research network and the PatientSpot registry. Chi-square tests and multivariate regression models were used to determine differences in priorities between groups of respondents with rheumatic inflammatory conditions (RICs) and osteoarthritis (OA), and possible associations. RESULTS At least 80% of respondents considered finding a rheumatologist, understanding tests and medications, and quickly recognizing and communicating symptoms to doctors as extremely important educational topics. The highest-ranked topic for both RIC and OA groups was "knowing when the medication is not working." The app functions that most respondents considered useful were viewing laboratory results, recording symptoms to share with their rheumatology provider, and recording symptoms (eg, pain, fatigue) or disease flares for health tracking over time. Approximately one-third of respondents owned and regularly used a wearable activity tracker. CONCLUSION People with RMD prioritized information about laboratory test results, medications, and disease and symptom monitoring, which can be used to create educational and digital tools that support patients during their disease journey.

Redesigning Pharmacy to Improve Public Health Outcomes: Expanding Retail Spaces for Digital Therapeutics to Replace Consumer Products That Increase Mortality and Morbidity Risks. PHARMACY 2024; 12:107. [PMID: 39051391 PMCID: PMC11270305 DOI: 10.3390/pharmacy12040107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
United States healthcare outcomes, including avoidable mortality rates, are among the worst of high-income countries despite the highest healthcare spending per capita. While community pharmacies contribute to chronic disease management and preventive medicine, they also offer consumer products that increase mortality risks and the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and depression. To resolve these contradictions, our perspective article describes opportunities for major pharmacy chains (e.g., CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens) to introduce digital health aisles dedicated to prescription and over-the-counter digital therapeutics (DTx), together with mobile apps and wearables that support disease self-management, wellness, and well-being. We provide an evidence-based rationale for digital health aisles to replace spaces devoted to sugar-sweetened beverages and other unhealthy commodities (alcohol, tobacco) that may increase risks for premature death. We discuss how digital health aisles can serve as marketing and patient education resources, informing customers about commercially available DTx and other technologies that support healthy lifestyles. Since pharmacy practice requires symbiotic balancing between profit margins and patient-centered, value-based care, replacing health-harming products with health-promoting technologies could positively impact prevention of chronic diseases, as well as the physical and mental health of patients and caregivers who visit neighborhood pharmacies in order to pick up medicines.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the factors that facilitate or hinder nurses in providing patient education. DESIGN A mixed-method systematic review. DATA SOURCES Six databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, MEDLINE and ERIC) were systematically searched for relevant publications. METHODS The study was conducted following the JBI for mixed-method systematic reviews, and the reporting followed the PRISMA guideline. Two researchers independently performed literature screening, literature evaluation, data extraction and synthesis. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023427451. RESULTS Twenty-six eligible articles were included, including 15 quantitative articles, 10 qualitative articles and 2 mixed-methods articles. The resultant synthesis of key findings led to the identification of these barriers and facilitators, categorised into five distinct levels: nurse-related factors, organisational factors, patient-related factors, the nurse-patient relationship and interdisciplinary collaboration. CONCLUSIONS The findings highlight the factors that facilitate or hinder nurses in providing patient education, suggesting that multifaceted interventions can enhance the practice of patient education in nursing and support the development of appropriate patient education guidelines or public policies. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE This review delineates the facilitators and barriers influencing nurses' provision of patient education, offering an initial framework for nursing managers to craft interventions aimed at enhancing the quality of patient education provided by nurses, consequently elevating the overall quality of nursing.

Curr Pain Headache Rep 2024; 28:547-564.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Physiotherapy interventions for headache mostly include exercise and manual therapy. Yet, the complex nature of headache, sometimes characterized by symptoms of facilitated central pain mechanisms, demands an individualized approach in which therapeutic patient education could be supportive. This scoping review aimed to summarize the position of therapeutic patient education within the physiotherapy management of adults with headache. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched. The search-query comprised terminology relating to "headache", "education", and "physiotherapy". Eligibility criteria were: adults with headache, interventions including education within the domain of physiotherapy, reviews, clinical trials, cohort, case report, case-control studies. RECENT FINDINGS Eleven publications were included from the 281 retrieved publications. These publications were clinical trials (n = 4), reviews (n = 4), case-reports (n = 2), and a guideline (n = 1). Type of headaches studied were migraine (n = 3), post-traumatic headache (n = 2), tension-type headache (n = 2), cervicogenic headache (n = 1), primary headaches (n = 1), chronic daily headache (n = 1), and mixed migraine-cervicogenic headache (n = 1). Education seems an umbrella-term for postural education, lifestyle advice, and pain education. Three themes emerged across the publications: handling headache triggers (migraine, post-traumatic headache), promoting active lifestyle (post-traumatic headache, chronic daily headache, migraine), evaluating posture (post-traumatic headache, chronic daily headache, tension-type headache, cervicogenic headache). All publications recommended education in the management of headache. Only one (of the 11 included) publication described the educational program and determined its efficacy. Based on this scoping review, therapeutic patient education seems supported within physiotherapy management of headache. However, it is unclear how such education is tailored to the specific needs of the individual, the headache subtype, or when it should be added to physiotherapy management of headache.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantify medical staff preferences for providing health education service in hospitals. METHODS This study took medical staff in the department of internal medicine of hospitals in Beijing, China as the research subjects, and designed a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to investigate the health education service provision preferences of them. Through various methods, 8 attributes and corresponding levels were determined. An online survey was conducted among the medical staff of the sample hospitals from May to June 2023. Participants' preferences were analyzed using conditional logit and mixed logit models. RESULTS Finally, 831 respondents completed the questionnaire, among which 600 cases passed the consistency test. All the attributes included in this study had an impact on medical staff' health education service preferences (P < 0.001). The most important one with the greatest impact on the health education service delivery behavior of the respondents was "department working atmosphere-encouraging health education" (β = 4.062, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In this study, the departmental work atmosphere and performance bonuses emerged as crucial factors influencing the engagement of medical staff in health education work. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS Hospitals should prioritize measures to improve the health education working atmosphere in departments to increase the enthusiasm of medical staff to provide services.

Abstract
Low back pain guidelines recommend patient education as a component of management. Multimedia education materials to provide patient education are increasingly being used not only due to the convenience of digital services but also because this is an efficient way to deliver educational information to under-resourced or rural/remote regions without optimal healthcare services. To maximize the knowledge transfer of research findings and low back pain guidelines, scientifically backed information must evolve beyond journal prints, bland government websites, and the basic web design of budget-constrained advocacy groups. Materials must instead be engaging for the public and compete with the various sources of low back pain misinformation, which can appear attractive and eye-catching while being conveniently accessed. We discuss a data subset from a larger musculoskeletal healthcare review to highlight the educational materials used in low back pain randomized controlled trials found in the literature. While there is no standard way to appraise the effectiveness of such educational materials, potential options are discussed. Future research is needed to determine whether knowledge is being transferred and whether this is the avenue to improving patient outcomes.

Efficacy of patient education and duloxetine, alone and in combination, for patients with multisystem functional somatic disorder: Study protocol for the EDULOX trial. Contemp Clin Trials 2024; 141:107524. [PMID: 38604496 DOI: 10.1016/j.cct.2024.107524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multisystem functional somatic disorder is characterized by specific patterns of persistent physical symptoms with a complex biopsychosocial etiology. The disorder can lead to disability and personal suffering. Current treatment options require specialized settings, therefore patients often wait a long time to receive specific treatment. Patient education is considered important in most treatment programs, but has only been investigated sparsely as a stand-alone treatment. Pharmacological treatment is limited to tricyclic antidepressants in low doses with no antidepressant properties. Duloxetine has been found effective in single organ functional disorders. As a treatment for multisystem functional somatic disorder, duloxetine could reduce symptoms and treat comorbid anxiety and depression. It may furthermore enhance the effect of patient education through a hypothesized effect on cognitive functioning. The purpose of the EDULOX trial is to study psycho-EDUcation and duLOXetine alone and in combination. METHODS This is a nested study design. The parent trial "EDULOX1" (n = 424) will compare a patient education program with enhanced usual care in an open-labelled, randomized controlled trial. In addition to this, eligible participants will furthermore receive either duloxetine or active placebo in the nested, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial, "EDULOX2" (n = 212). Patient and clinician reported outcomes will be collected through questionnaires. CONCLUSION The EDULOX trial may establish evidence for treatments applicable for the majority of patients with multisystem functional somatic disorder. If effective, duloxetine would be a more tolerable pharmacological treatment option that can target comorbid depression and anxiety, and potentially boost the effect of patient education. Trial registration number The study is registered at www. CLINICALTRIALS gov (NCT06232473) and the internal list of research projects at the Region of Central Denmark (Case number 1-16-02-305-23). Approval from the Danish Medical Research Ethics Committees (Case number: 2212291) and the Danish Medicines Agency was obtained under EudraCT Number: 2022-002780-30 and Sponsor's Protocol Code Number: 9515.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE (1) To identify the characteristics of PNE programs in terms of teaching-learning strategies, session modality, content delivery format, number of sessions, total minutes and instructional support material used in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, (2) to describe PNE adaptations for patients with different educational levels or cultural backgrounds, and (3) to describe the influence of the patient's educational level or cultural background on the effects of PNE. METHODS The PRISMA guideline for scoping reviews was followed. Nine databases were systematically searched up to July 8, 2023. Articles that examined clinical or psychosocial variables in adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain who received PNE were included. RESULTS Seventy-one articles were included. Studies found benefits of PNE through passive/active teaching-learning strategies with group/individual sessions. However, PNE programs presented great heterogeneity and adaptations to PNE were poorly reported. Most studies did not consider educational level and culture in the effects of PNE. CONCLUSIONS Despite the large number of studies on PNE and increased interest in this intervention, the educational level and culture are poorly reported in the studies. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS It is recommended to use passive and/or active teaching-learning strategies provided in individual and/or group formats considering the patient's educational level and culture.

JOURNAL OF EDUCATION AND HEALTH PROMOTION 2024; 13:153. [PMID: 38784263 PMCID: PMC11114582 DOI: 10.4103/jehp.jehp_532_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy that has been entered into the philosophy of education for a long time. Reviewing the concept of aesthetics in education, we can see the components that can cover a number of challenges in the field of patient education. Focusing on the conceptual dimensions obtained from the analysis of this concept, the aim is matching the resulting conceptual categories with the gaps in the field of patient education. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using a scoping review, we reviewed the literature dealt with different dimensions of aesthetic-based education. Walker and Avant's concept analysis approach was used to inductively analyze the content obtained from the review of literature. The data were divided into three general groups of antecedents, attributes, and consequences of the aesthetic-based education concept, and the final conceptual model was defined. Interdisciplinary comparisons between educational and medical sciences were made to match the concept of aesthetic education with the field of patient education to cover its issues. During the scope review process of the texts, after screening the articles, 17 articles selected to enter the concept analysis stage. RESULT Concept analysis phase showed that the main conceptual categories of antecedents of aesthetic-based education are aesthetic-based intrapersonal competencies and aesthetic capacities of educational setting. The attributes include aesthetic-based educational content and teaching methods including unity in diversity, combination with art and being based on empathy. The consequences include subliminal learning and constraint-free learning. These conceptual dimensions can cover four important issues in patient education including patient satisfaction, pedagogical competences of health educators, patient centeredness, and empathetic relationship. CONCLUSION Applying aesthetic concept in the patient education process can bridge part of the gaps in this process. So, this study can be an introduction to future innovative models based on aesthetic paradigm in the field of patient education.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW Effective education enables people to modify the distress and impact of breathlessness by integrating evidence-informed breathlessness-related behaviours (knowledge, skill, attitude) into everyday life. This review considers recent studies of educational approaches focussed on chronic breathlessness as a modifiable, noxious and debilitating multidimensional experience. RECENT FINDINGS Systematic assessments of text-based patient education materials and mobile phone applications specific to breathlessness indicate that while these resources are readily available, issues continue to persist with quality, readability, usefulness and availability of non-English language versions. Various forms of educational interventions for breathlessness have proven feasible and valued by people living with breathlessness and their significant others (uptake/completion, personal benefit, ripple effect on health professionals). Health professional knowledge about the impact of chronic breathlessness and effective management can be altered through structured, educational interventions. SUMMARY Empiric studies of patient education for breathlessness are scarce despite persistent calls for better breathlessness education for people living with or providing care for someone living with this noxious symptom. In clinical practice, it is highly likely that there are effective and ineffective educational practices, both of which, if publicly disseminated, would inform future educational strategies to advance breathlessness self-management.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The advent of smart technologies has significantly impacted the management of CVD, offering innovative tools and solutions to improve patient outcomes. Smart technologies have revolutionized and transformed the management of CVD, providing innovative tools to improve patient care, enhance diagnostics, and enable more personalized treatment approaches. These smart tools encompass a wide range of technologies, including wearable devices, mobile applications,3D printing technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), remote monitoring systems, and electronic health records (EHR). They offer numerous advantages, such as real-time monitoring, early detection of abnormalities, remote patient management, and data-driven decision-making. However, they also come with certain limitations and challenges, including data privacy concerns, technical issues, and the need for regulatory frameworks. In this review, despite these challenges, the future of smart technologies in CVD management looks promising, with advancements in AI algorithms, telemedicine platforms, and bio fabrication techniques opening new possibilities for personalized and efficient care. In this article, we also explore the role of smart technologies in CVD management, their advantages and disadvantages, limitations, current applications, and their smart future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This review will aim to synthesize the available quantitative and qualitative evidence on the educational needs and preferences of adult patients with acute or chronic pain. INTRODUCTION Acute and chronic pain are prevalent problems and are associated with significant individual and societal consequences. Education is a critical component of pain management. However, the impact of educational interventions on pain outcomes remains limited. The lack of patient input--what patients want to know and how they want to be informed--is one of the main issues underlying intervention design. INCLUSION CRITERIA We will include qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies describing the educational needs and preferences of adult patients with acute or chronic pain. METHODS This review will follow the JBI guidelines for mixed methods systematic reviews. We will search MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase (Ovid), PsycINFO (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. The search strategy will commence from the year 1990 onward and there will be no language restrictions. The retrieved titles, abstracts, and full-text reports will be screened by pairs of independent reviewers. These pairs of reviewers will also independently extract data using the JBI tools for mixed methods systematic reviews. Methodological quality will be assessed using the mixed methods appraisal tool. A convergent integrated approach to synthesis and integration of the quantitative and qualitative data will be used. REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42022303834.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Globally, patients with osteoporosis have unmet needs in terms of care accessibility, patient-centredness and care comprehensiveness. The WHO developed the Integrated, People-Centred Health Services (IPCHS) framework to reorient and integrate healthcare systems using 5 interdependent strategies and 20 substrategies. Patients' perspectives with regard to these strategies are poorly understood. We sought to relate patient-experienced gaps in osteoporosis care to the IPCHS strategies and identify key strategies to guide osteoporosis care reforms. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Qualitative online study of the experiences of international patients with osteoporosis. PROCEDURE Two researchers conducted semi-structured interviews in English, Dutch, Spanish and French that were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Patients were categorised according to their countries' healthcare systems (universal, public/private and private) and fracture status. A hybrid (sequential theory-driven and data-driven) analysis was performed, with the IPCHS framework used for the theory-driven analysis. RESULTS Thirty-five patients (33 women) from 14 countries participated. Twenty-two patients had universal healthcare and 18 had experienced fragility fractures. Prioritised substrategies overlapped among healthcare systems, with reported shortcomings related primarily to 'empowering and engaging individuals and families' and 'coordinating care' (at varying levels). Patients with all healthcare types prioritised 'reorienting care', with different substrategies prioritised. Patients with private healthcare called for 'improving funding and reforming payment systems'. Substrategy prioritisation did not differ between those receiving primary and secondary fracture prevention. CONCLUSION Patients' experiences with osteoporosis care are universal. Given the current care gaps and associated patient burdens, policymakers should make osteoporosis a(n) (inter)national health priority. Integrated osteoporosis care reforms should focus on patient-reported experiences with and be guided by priorities in IPCHS strategies, taking into account the healthcare system context.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Question prompt lists (QPLs) have been effective at increasing patient involvement and question asking in medical appointments, which is critical for shared decision making. We investigated whether pre-visit preparation (PVP), including a QPL, would increase question asking among caregivers of pediatric patients with undiagnosed, suspected genetic conditions. METHODS Caregivers were randomized to receive the PVP before their appointment (n = 59) or not (control, n = 53). Appointments were audio-recorded. Transcripts were analyzed to determine questions asked. RESULTS Caregivers in the PVP group asked more questions (MeanPVP = 4.36, SDPVP = 4.66 vs. Meancontrol = 2.83, SDcontrol = 3.03, p = 0.045), including QPL questions (MeanPVP = 1.05, SDPVP = 1.39 vs. Meancontrol = 0.36, SDcontrol = 0.81, p = 0.002). Caregivers whose child had insurance other than Medicaid in the PVP group asked more total and QPL questions than their counterparts in the control group (ps = 0.005 and 0.002); there was no intervention effect among caregivers of children with Medicaid or no insurance (ps = 0.775 and 0.166). CONCLUSION The PVP increased question asking but worked less effectively among traditionally underserved groups. Additional interventions, including provider-focused efforts, may be needed to promote engagement of underserved patients. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Patient/family-focused interventions may not be beneficial for all populations. Providers should be aware of potential implicit and explicit biases and encourage question asking to promote patient/family engagement.

Abstract
The risk of vertical transmission from breastfeeding with HIV (BFHIV) has been found to be very low in optimal scenarios with sustained maternal viral suppression during pregnancy and postpartum. Medical providers must account for the risk of this serious adverse event alongside parental autonomy, breastfeeding benefits, and patient values. To assess provider practices, comfort, and challenges with BFHIV, an online mixed-method survey was sent to breastfeeding and HIV provider listservs from June to July 2021. The target population was US medical professionals from diverse practice settings with experience in clinical issues associated with BFHIV, including physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, and lactation consultants. Data analysis utilized nonparametric hypothesis testing, ordinal regression, and reflexive thematic analysis. Most providers reported counseling pregnant people with HIV on infant feeding choices, but fewer specifically endorsed counseling about breastfeeding. Of 84 unique institutions identified by 100 included respondents, 10% had an institutional protocol supporting BFHIV. Institutional protocols were associated with higher degrees of provider comfort with BFHIV in optimal scenario clinical vignettes. Providers perceived that White patients faced fewer BFHIV barriers than patients with other racial identities. Discomfort balancing the goals to protect infants from infection risk and support the parent's role in infant feeding decisions was a key theme in free text responses; this manifested in a spectrum of management styles ranging from patient's informed choice to paternalism. This study highlights the tension providers navigate regarding BFHIV discussions, calling for patient care guidelines and protocols grounded in risk reduction and respect of patient autonomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore how patients in biopsychosocial pain rehabilitation perceive encounters with interprofessional teams. The focus of this article is to explore how interactions can perpetuate or diminish chronic pain stigma. MATERIAL AND METHODS An ethnographic approach was applied to the study. Participant observation of interprofessional encounters and clinical encounters in a pain rehabilitation ward was undertaken in 2016 (19 weeks). Interviews with 12 professionals and seven patients were conducted. Data were analysed in an abductive process using thematic analysis. RESULTS The patients perceived their encounters with interprofessional teams as supportive, with implications for pain stigma. This is presented as two themes: (1) being seen as credible, involving patients being believed in and a concept of being overactive at the expense of their own health, and (2) being helped to see their situation in a new light, which involves enthusiasm about changing and challenging views in a process with professionals who were supportive and united across professions. CONCLUSION Interprofessional biopsychosocial pain rehabilitation may be an intervention that can diminish internalised stigma in patients suffering from chronic pain. The study contributes to increased understanding of patient perceptions of positive encounters with professionals during a learning process in rehabilitation and of the imbued influence on power relations. This appears to be fundamental to diminishing pain stigma, as the occurrence of stigma is dependent on differences in power.KEY MESSAGESInterprofessional biopsychosocial pain rehabilitation can be an intervention for diminishing internalised pain stigma in patients.Knowledge on how encounters with professionals induce personal learning processes among people with chronic pain.

Abstract
Objective This qualitative study explored the experiences of patients with bladder cancer with a tailored 'explanimation' video (EV) as a supportive information tool used before and during treatment. Methods Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 patients with bladder cancer and thematically analysed. Results Participants advised future use of the EV, noting it is user friendly and has a fitting difficulty level and clarifying animations. However, some mentioned practical information on 'life after treatment' was lacking, and some emphasized the importance of choosing the right moment of delivery. Patients' experiences were described in four major themes: taking own responsibility, providing opportunity for postponed information supply, easing decision-making processes and gaining a sense of calm. Conclusion Findings indicate the EV supported patients with bladder cancer in the process of being informed and in decision-making. Future use of the EV in the treatment of patients with bladder cancer is recommended. Innovation The use of audiovisual information in patient education is innovative. Tailored audiovisual information in shape of the EV is a step forward in streamlining information processes, meeting individual preferences and highlighting the most important general information for patients with bladder cancer.

Abstract
A health recommender system (HRS) provides a user with personalized medical information based on the user's health profile. This scoping review aims to identify and summarize the HRS development in the most recent decade by focusing on five key aspects: health domain, user, recommended item, recommendation technology, and system evaluation. We searched PubMed, ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Web of Science, and Scopus databases for English literature published between 2010 and 2022. Our study selection and data extraction followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. The following are the primary results: sixty-three studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the data analysis. These studies involved twenty-four health domains, with both patients and the general public as target users and ten major recommended items. The most adopted algorithm of recommendation technologies was the knowledge-based approach. In addition, fifty-nine studies reported system evaluations, in which two types of evaluation methods and three categories of metrics were applied. However, despite existing research progress on HRSs, the health domains, recommended items, and sample size of system evaluation have been limited. In the future, HRS research shall focus on dynamic user modelling, utilizing open-source knowledge bases, and evaluating the efficacy of HRSs using a large sample size. In conclusion, this study summarized the research activities and evidence pertinent to HRSs in the most recent ten years and identified gaps in the existing research landscape. Further work shall address the gaps and continue improving the performance of HRSs to empower users in terms of healthcare decision making and self-management.

Making knowledge clips with patients: What learning mechanisms are triggered in medical students? PATIENT EDUCATION AND COUNSELING 2022; 105:3096-3102. [PMID: 35725527 DOI: 10.1016/j.pec.2022.06.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Revised: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 06/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To prepare medical students for a rapidly changing healthcare landscape, where new means of communication emerge, innovative teaching methods are needed. We developed a project-based learning course in which medical students design audiovisual patient information in collaboration with patients and with students in Communication and Information Sciences (CIS). We studied what learning mechanisms are triggered in medical students by elements of a project-based-learning course. METHODS In this qualitative study, twelve sixth year medical students that participated in the course were individually interviewed. Data were analyzed according to the principles of qualitative template analysis. RESULTS We identified four learning mechanisms: Challenging assumptions about patients' information needs; Becoming aware of the origin of patients' information needs; Taking a patient's perspective; Analyzing language to adapt to patients' needs. These learning mechanisms were activated by making a knowledge clip, collaborating with patients, and collaborating with CIS students. CONCLUSION Collaborating with patients helped students to recognize and understand patients' perspectives. Working on a tangible product in partnership with patients and CIS students, triggered students to apply their understanding in conveying information back to patients. PRACTICE IMPLICATION Based on our findings we encourage educators to involve patients as collaborators in authentic assignments for students so they can apply what they learned from taking patients' perspectives.

J Eval Clin Pract 2022; 28:828-834. [PMID: 35466469 PMCID: PMC9790374 DOI: 10.1111/jep.13690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2021] [Revised: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 04/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the present paper is to describe and discuss how recent theories about translation, bridging medical and humanistic understandings of knowledge translation, in the medical humanities can bring about a new understanding of health literacy in the context of patient education. We argue that knowledge translation must be understood as active engagement with contextual meaning, considering the understandings, interpretation, and expertise of both patient and health care provider (deconstruction of the distinction between biomedical and cultural knowledge). To illustrate our points, we will describe the case of Jim, a kidney transplant recipient who received standard patient education but lost the graft (the new kidney). If we apply Kristeva's view to this context, graft function is not merely biology but a complex biocultural fact. In this perspective, graft function is seen as a phenomenon that embraces translation between health as a biomedical phenomenon and healing as lived experience, and that opens for shared meaning-making processes between the patient and the health care provider. In Jim's case, this means that we need to rethink the approach to patient education in a way that encourages the patient's idiosyncratic way of thinking and experiencing, and to transform health information into a means for sustaining Jim's singular life - not biological life "in general." The patient education programme did not take into consideration the singularities of Jim's biographical temporality, with its changes in everyday life, priorities, attitudes, and values. Hence, we claim that health literacy should involve a simultaneous interrogation of the patients and the health professional's constructions of knowledge.

BMC PRIMARY CARE 2022; 23:227. [PMID: 36071372 PMCID: PMC9454164 DOI: 10.1186/s12875-022-01843-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To study the factors associated with the intention of primary care professionals (PCPs) to use or not use a referral aid (RA) for selecting an evidence-based smoking cessation intervention (EBSCI). METHODS Participants (n = 85) were recruited from June to September 2020 to complete an online questionnaire based on the I-Change Model to assess the factors associated with the adoption of RA. The differences between PCPs with (n = 37) and without (n = 48) the intention to adopt in terms of demographics, motivational factors, and post-motivational factors were subsequently assessed. Correlation and logistic regression analyses were conducted to investigate the factors associated with the intention to adopt. RESULTS Both groups indicated that they highly appreciated the RA. However, PCPs without the intention to adopt expressed a more negative attitude towards the RA, experienced less social support, showed low self-efficacy, and encountered barriers such as lack of time and skills. The factors most strongly associated with the intention to adopt were advantages, disadvantages, self-efficacy, less barriers, working in a solo practice and age. CONCLUSIONS The adoption of RA can be facilitated in two ways. The first one is by increasing the added value of the tool through a second round of co-creation focusing on the adoptability of the RA in practice. The second approach is by communicating the added value of referring to EBSCIS and thereby using the RA by implementing it in smoking cessation training for PCPs, which could also help to improve the attitude, social support, self-efficacy, and perceived skills in terms of RA usage among PCPs. IMPACT This study is the first work in the Netherlands to investigate the willingness of PCPs to actively refer patients to other EBSCIs in addition to providing face-to-face counseling themselves. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered at the Netherlands Trial Register (NL7020, https://www.trialregister.nl/trial/7020 ).

Boland K, Pigott T, Forbes R. ‘I am the educator and the learner at the same time’: a qualitative survey of the knowledge and use of adult learning theory in UK musculoskeletal physiotherapists' patient education. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THERAPY AND REHABILITATION 2022.

Abstract
Background/Aims Patient education is a core component of musculoskeletal care, yet broad definitions exist and effective delivery methods are unclear. Musculoskeletal physiotherapists' use of patient education has been described as individualised and collaborative, reflecting a person-centred model of care. However, discrepancies between perceived and actual practice, and therapist-centred approaches to education, have been observed. Little is known about the theoretical basis of musculoskeletal physiotherapists' patient education practice, yet the adult learning theory frames how adults interact with education and echoes the principles of person-centred care. The aim of this study was to analyse the use of adult learning theory to inform patient education practice among UK musculoskeletal physiotherapists. Methods This study used a novel, online questionnaire to collect quantitative and qualitative data from a self-selecting sample of UK musculoskeletal physiotherapists, using a multimodal recruitment strategy. Complete responses were provided by 66 participants. Categorical and narrative data were collected and descriptive and thematic analyses undertaken. Results Participants generally self-rated their educational competencies highly, with the exception of evaluating patient education. Participants were more familiar with reflective and self-directed learning than with other adult learning theories. Two main themes were described: implicit adult learning theory knowledge and challenges in applying adult learning theory. Conclusions The results suggest that musculoskeletal physiotherapists may have implicit knowledge of adult learning theory, yet challenges exist in applying them. This finding supports the establishment of ongoing training in educational skills for physiotherapists and could be used as a catalyst for musculoskeletal physiotherapists to reflect on their knowledge and use of adult learning theory.

Healthcare professionals' perceptions of implementing a decision support intervention for cascade screening for beta-thalassemia in Pakistan. Eur J Hum Genet 2022; 30:795-799.

Abstract
Counselling relatives of individuals with βeta-Thalassaemia Major (β-TM) about cascade screening is the role of field officers (FOs) in the Punjab Thalassaemia Prevention Project (PTPP). This paper presents FOs' views about using a 'decision support intervention for relatives' (DeSIRe) to facilitate informed decision making, and their perception of its implementation and sustainability. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with nine FOs (June to July 2021) in seven cities in the Punjab province (Lahore, Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahab, Kasur, Gujranwala, Multan, and Faisalabad) following its use in routine clinical practice. Thematic analysis shows that the FOs were overwhelmingly supportive of the DeSIRe, expressing enthusiasm and identifying benefits of its use, both for their own practice and for relatives. They supported the aim of the intervention to enable them to facilitate relatives' decision-making about cascade screening, and advocated its use more widely within the PTPP and the other provinces of Pakistan. Overall, the DeSIRe was valued by the FOs for use in routine practice. These findings suggest the DeSIRe is highly likely to be implemented by healthcare professionals more widely in the PTPP and, therefore, is worth evaluating to prove its efficacy. Further research is needed on the extent to which the DeSIRe could be adapted for use by other healthcare professionals with similar responsibilities in the other provinces of Pakistan, and in other low-middle income countries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To define and operationalize three taught strategies for providing information in interactions with patients using videos collected in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). METHODS This was a qualitative exploratory study embedded in a randomized controlled design, using microanalysis of face-to-face dialogue as an inductive video analysis method to operationalize physicians' use of three information-provision strategies. Data were 34 video-recorded simulated (but unscripted) interactions between 17 physicians and 34 multiple sclerosis patients collected before and after a brief course on information provision. We operationalized (1) mapping the patient's preferences and (2) checking the patient's understanding, and pauses indicative of (3) portioning information. RESULTS Results are detailed analytical definitions, criteria, and assessable, quantifiable outcomes for each of the three strategies. Patients responded to portioning pauses as expected: whereas 91% of these pauses elicited an immediate patient response, only 23% of non-portioning pauses did so. CONCLUSION Our methods revealed how to define and evaluate information sharing strategies physicians used within the contingencies of clinical interaction. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Findings provide applicable methods to teach, analyze, and evaluate information sharing strategies and indications for further training.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has a major impact on caregivers. We aimed to describe caregivers' perceptions concerning their level of knowledge about ASD and their needs to better adapt education and training programs. METHODS This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted through a declarative and self-administered survey in France. RESULTS 1,013 individuals answered the questionnaire in 2020. If most caregivers felt they had sufficient knowledge about ASD, they still expressed a high level of needs regarding acquiring knowledge, identifying available resources, and finding social/emotional support. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the high level of needs of caregivers and their expectations of improving their knowledge and skills to help the person with ASD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is implemented as rescue therapy in COVID-19 related acute distress respiratory syndrome (ARDS) and refractory hypoxemia. Google Trends (GT) is an ongoing-developing web kit providing feedback on specific population's interests. This study uses GT to analyze the United States (US) general population interest in ECMO as COVD-19/ARDS salvage therapy. METHODS GT was used to access data searched for the term ECMO and COVID-19. The gathered information included data from March 2020 to July 2021 within US territories. Search frequency, time intervals, sub-regions, frequent topics of interest, and related searches were analyzed. Data were reported as search frequency on means, and a value of 100 represented overall peak popularity. RESULTS The number of Google searches related to the terms ECMO and COVID-19 has surged and sustained interest over time ever since the initial reports of COVID-19 in the US, from an initial mean of 34% in March 2020 to a 100% interest by April 2020, resulting in an up-to-date overall average of 40% interest. Over time West Virginia, Gainesville, and Houston, lead the frequency of searches in sub-region, metro and city areas, respectively. Top search terms by frequency include: ECMO machine, COVID ECMO, what is ECMO, ECMO treatment and VV ECMO. Parallel to this, the related rising terms are: COVID ECMO, ECMO machine COVID, ECMO for COVID, ECMO machine coronavirus, and ECMO vs ventilator. Seemingly, medical-relevant websites fail to adequately address these for patient therapeutic education (PTE) purposes. CONCLUSIONS GT complements the understanding of interest in ECMO for COVID-19. When properly interpreted, the use of these trends can potentially improve on PTE and therapy awareness via specific medical relevant websites.

Abstract
To develop and validate a questionnaire assessing patient knowledge in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Knowledge considered essential for patients with RA was identified through a series of Delphi rounds among rheumatologists, health professionals (HPs), patients, and then reformulated to construct the knowledge questionnaire. Cross-sectional multicenter validation was performed in 12 rheumatology departments to assess internal validity (Kuder–Richardson coefficient), external validity, acceptability, reproducibility (Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient) and sensitivity to change (difference in total score before and after patient education sessions). Associations between patient variables and knowledge levels were evaluated. RAKE (RA Knowledge questionnairE) is a self-administered 45-item questionnaire scored 0–100, with a 32-item short-form survey assessing knowledge of disease, comorbidity, pharmacological treatments, non-pharmacological treatments, self-care and adaptative skills. Of 130 patients included in the validation study, 108 were women. Acceptability was good with < 5% missing data. Internal validity coefficient was 0.90. Mean (standard deviation) long-form score was 72.8 ± 17.8, with lower scores in comorbidity and self-care and higher scores in adaptive skills. Reproducibility was good (0.86 [0.80; 0.92]). RAKE score was positively correlated with the patients’ level of education and the HPs’ opinion on the patients’ knowledge. RAKE score showed good sensitivity to change: 66.8 ± 16.4 then 83.8 ± 12.7, representing a hedges effect size of 1.14 [95% CI 0.73; 1.55]. RAKE is an updated questionnaire assessing essential knowledge for patients with RA to enhance self-management according to current guidelines and the patients’ perspective. RAKE can usefully inform patient education interventions, routine care and research.

Abstract
Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease. The disease has a serious impact on mental health and requires more effective non-pharmacological interventions. Objective This study aims to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of patient education on psychological status and clinical outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis. Methods This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE database, and Web of Science database were screened for articles published until November 2, 2021. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of patient education for RA were included. Outcomes measures included pain, physical function, disease activity, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), anxiety, depression, Arthritis Self-Efficacy (pain, other symptoms, total), and General health. For each outcome, standardized mean differences or mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Results A total of 24 RCTs (n = 2,276) were included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis revealed a statistically significant overall effect in favor of patient education for physical function [SMD = -0.52, 95% CI (-0.96, -0.08), I 2 = 93%, P = 0.02], disease activity [SMD = -1.97, 95% CI (-3.24, -0.71), I 2 = 97%, P = 0.002], ASE (pain) [SMD = -1.24, 95% CI (-2.05, -0.43), I 2 = 95%, P = 0.003], ASE (other symptoms) [SMD = -0.25, 95% CI (-0.41, -0.09), I 2 = 25%, P = 0.002], ASE (total) [SMD = -0.67, 95% CI (-1.30, -0.05), I 2 = 90%, P = 0.03], and general health [SMD = -1.11, 95% CI (-1.36, -0.86), I 2 = 96%, P < 0.00001]. No effects were found for anxiety [SMD = 0.17, 95% CI (-0.64, 0.98), I 2 = 82%, P = 0.68], depression [SMD = -0.18, 95% CI (-0.52, 0.15), I 2 = 52%, P = 0.28], pain [SMD = -0.37, 95% CI (-0.80, 0.05), I 2 = 89%, P = 0.08], and CRP [SMD = -0.27, 95% CI (-0.57, 0.02), I 2 = 0%, P = 0.07]. Conclusions Patient education may be effective in improving clinical outcomes and psychological status in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Considering the methodological limitations of the included RCTs, more high-quality and large-sample RCTs are needed to confirm this conclusion in the future.

Evaluation of a novel therapeutic education programme for people with alcohol use disorder in France: a mixed-methods intervention study protocol (ETHER). Harm Reduct J 2022; 19:2. [PMID: 35012570 PMCID: PMC8751002 DOI: 10.1186/s12954-021-00587-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND ETHER ("Education THEérapeutique pour la Réduction des dommages en alcoologie" or Therapeutic education for alcohol-related harm reduction) is a multicentre community-based mixed-methods study, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the innovative therapeutic patient education (TPE) programme 'Choizitaconso' in a sample of French people with alcohol use disorder (people with AUD). Choizitaconso teaches people with AUD psychosocial skills to help them (re)establish controlled drinking and reduce alcohol-related harms. Recruitment started in October 2019. We present here the protocol of the ETHER study. METHODS ETHER's quantitative component involves a 6-month controlled intervention study which evaluates Choizitaconso's effectiveness by comparing 30 people with AUD following the programme with a control group of 60 people with AUD not enrolled in it, using a questionnaire co-constructed by the research team and members of the people with AUD community. Thirty-four alcohol-related harms are assessed and summed to provide an individual measure of the 'harm burden' from consuming alcohol (primary outcome). Secondary outcomes are anticipated and internalized stigma, alcohol consumption measures, craving for alcohol, coping strategies, health-related quality of life, self-confidence to control or abstain from drinking, treatment self-regulation, anxiety and depressive symptoms, alcohol-related neuropsychological impairments, and capabilities (a measure of wellbeing in adults). Data will be collected in face-to-face and phone-based interviews at enrolment and 6 months later. Linear regression models will be used to assess the impact of the TPE programme on changes in the primary and secondary outcomes, while adjusting for other correlates and confounders. The study's qualitative component comprises semi-structured interviews with 16 people with AUD who have already completed the TPE programme at least 6 months before the interview. Qualitative interviews will be analysed using thematic analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS ETHER is the first evaluation study of an innovative TPE programme specifically designed to reduce alcohol-related harms and reach controlled drinking in France. The involvement of the people with AUD community in selecting which experienced and perceived alcohol-related harms to measure ensures that ETHER will provide healthcare staff and researchers with a relevant set of harm reduction criteria for use in future research. Finally, ETHER will provide scientific justification for implementing novel alcohol-related harm reduction approaches and champion controlled drinking as a therapeutic goal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We explored associations between health-related quality of life (QOL) with self-management and satisfaction with relationships with medical professionals among female rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. METHODS Female RA outpatients completed anonymized self-reported questionnaires. Their confidence in self-managing different aspects of RA and satisfaction with relationships with medical professionals were assessed using a visual analog scale. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify factors correlated with health-related QOL. RESULTS Valid responses were received from 145 subjects. Mean PCS and MCS scores were 43.0 and 50.4, respectively, suggesting that female RA patients experience reduced QOL despite low disease activity, without perceiving difficulties in their daily lives. PCS scores correlated negatively with the modified Health Assessment Questionnaire (mHAQ) scores, and MCS scores correlated positively with stress self-management and patient-provider satisfaction, but negatively with mHAQ scores. PCS and MCS scores were not significantly influenced by demographic or clinical characteristics including age, disease duration, Steinbrocker stage (or class), or biologic use. CONCLUSION To improve health-related QOL in these patients, we must establish good patient-provider relationships and personalize strategies based on physical and mental conditions, enabling normal daily living. We should help achieve functional and social remission by improving their confidence in self-managing their disease.

Abstract
Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are always considered by healthcare specialists for different reasons, including extensive prevalence, increased costs, chronicity, and high risk of death. The control of CVDs is highly influenced by behavior and lifestyle and it seems necessary to train special abilities about lifestyle and behavior modification to improve self-care skills for patients, and their caregivers. As a result, the development of effective training systems should be considered by healthcare specialists. Methods Hence, in this study, a framework for improving cardiovascular patients’ education processes is presented. Initially, an existing training system for cardiovascular patients is reviewed. Using field observations and targeted interviews with hospital experts, all components of its educating processes are identified, and their process maps are drawn up. After that, challenges in the training system are extracted with the aid of in-depth semi-structured interviews with experts. Due to the importance and different influence of the identified challenges, they are prioritized using a Multiple Criteria Decision-making (MCDM) method, and then their root causes were investigated. Finally, a novel framework is proposed and evaluated with hospital experts' help to improve the main challenges. Results The most important challenges included high nursing workload and shortage of time, lack of understanding of training concepts by patients, lack of attention to training, disruption of the training processes by the patients’ caregivers, and patient's weakness in understanding the standard language. In identifying the root causes, learner, educator, and educational tools are the most effective in the training process; therefore, the improvement scenarios were designed accordingly in the proposed framework. Conclusions Our study indicated that presenting a framework with applying different quantitative and qualitative methods has great potential to improve the processes of patient education for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the leading chronic rheumatic disease in childhood. To achieve adherence to therapy, in-depth understanding of disease and treatment options are important. OBJECTIVE Development of specifically designed illustrations and standardised, easy-to-read texts for children and adolescents with JIA. Education materials were tested for comprehensibility and content validity. We hypothesised that children would be able to increase their knowledge about JIA after presentation of materials. METHODS The illustrations were designed by a graphic artist and the informative texts consecutively transformed to easy-to-read language. The materials appear as a modular system to allow individualized information for each patient. The illustrations and texts were tested for knowledge gain and improvement of self-efficacy in children affected by JIA/ rheumatic diseases and controls. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was tested as an overall assessment of patients' well-being. RESULTS 46 controls (71% female) and 38 patients (48% female) with a median age of 11 years were tested in a standardised setting. In both groups knowledge gain was significant (controls: t (44) = 11.08, p < 0.001, d = 1.65; patients: t (37) = 7.48, p < 0.001, d = 1.21). The control group had a significantly higher enhancement of disease knowledge compared to patients' group (p = .046) The follow-up testing was only performed in one school class (20 controls) due to Covid-19 pandemic with significant improvement compared to the pre-test results (p = .002). The enhancement of self-efficacy through the teaching session was significantly higher in the patients' group. No impairment of HRQoL was seen. CONCLUSION Explaining juvenile rheumatic diseases and therapeutic strategies is an important task in paediatric rheumatology. To avoid incomprehensible explanations in medical jargon, illustrations and easy-to-read texts were developed. Standardised presentation of the newly created materials resulted in a significant improvement of disease knowledge in patients and controls in addition to an enhancement of self-efficacy in patients.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:10836.

Abstract
To increase usage of evidence-based smoking cessation interventions (EBSCIs) among smokers, an online decision aid (DA) was developed. The aims of this study were (1) to conduct a usability evaluation; (2) to conduct a program evaluation and evaluate decisional conflict after using the DA and (3) to determine the possible change in the intention to use EBSCIs before and directly after reviewing the DA. A cross-sectional study was carried out in September 2020 by recruiting smokers via the Internet (n = 497). Chi-squared tests and t-tests were conducted to test the differences between smokers who differed in the perceived usability of the DA on the program evaluation and in decisional conflict. The possible changes in intention to use EBSCIs during a cessation attempt before and after reviewing the DA were tested using t-tests, McNemar's test and χ2 analysis. The participants evaluated the usability of the DA as moderate (MU; n = 393, 79.1%) or good (GU; n = 104, 20.9%). GU smokers rated higher on all the elements of the program evaluation and experienced less decisional conflict, but also displayed a higher intention to quit. After reviewing the DA, the participants on average had a significantly higher intention to use more EBSCIs, in particular in the form of eHealth. Recommendations to make the DA more usable could include tailoring, using video-based information and including value clarification methods. Furthermore, a hybrid variant in which smokers can use the DA independently and with the guidance of a primary care professional could aid both groups in choosing a fitting EBSCI option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the fundamental role of patient education, concerns have been raised by health professionals, students, and professional bodies regarding student preparation for this area of practice. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of patient education training on health professional student performance. METHOD A systematic search was performed across PubMed, Cinahl, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Reference and forward citation searches of included articles were conducted. Inclusion criteria were published journal articles from 2010 to 2020 regarding patient education training for health professional students with measures relating to patient education performance. Quality appraisal of individual studies was conducted using Cochrane risk-of-bias v2 or ROBINS-I; overall appraisal was also determined. Sixteen articles met eligibility criteria. Independent data extraction was undertaken. RESULTS Fourteen studies reported improvements in student performance following patient education training; two studies reported no significant improvements. Of different modalities examined, simulation-based learning appeared to be most effective. CONCLUSION Patient education training enhances health professional students' performance of patient education. Future research is needed to evaluate effectiveness of pedagogically informed interventions across health professions using objective approaches to assess student performance in clinically relevant settings. PRACTICAL VALUE This review supports the use of specific training approaches to improve student performance of patient education.

Abstract
Although meta-analyses have examined the association between patient education and health, the validity and quality of this evidence have not been comprehensively assessed. This second order meta-analysis combined previous meta-analyses that examined the effectiveness of patient education on health outcomes as an overall weighted grand mean d¯¯. Further, measures of methodological quality, meaningful variability across first order meta-analyses, and evidence for publication bias were examined. Forty meta-analyses were identified, investigating 156 associations between patient education and health summarizing data from over 776 studies including more than 74.947 patients. Quantitative analyses showed that patient education positively affects health outcomes with d¯¯ = 0.316 (95% CI [0.304, 0.329]). Summarizing data exclusively from randomized controlled trials indicated a causal effect. Patient education was effective for patients with neoplasms, diabetes, mental and behavioral disorders, diseases of the circulatory system, the respiratory system, and the musculoskeletal system. Patient education was effective in the reduction of medication use, pain, and visits to medical facilities, and significantly improved physiological, physical, psychological outcomes, and patients' general function. Overall, the findings reveal firm evidence for the effectiveness of patient education on health outcomes. However, theory-based interventions are lacking and need to be implemented to enable a successful transfer from theory to practice.

Abstract
We propose a methodological framework to support the development of personalized courses that improve patients' understanding of their condition and prescribed treatment. Inspired by Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs), the framework uses an eLearning ontology to express domain and learner models and to create a course. We combine the ontology with a procedural reasoning approach and precompiled plans to operationalize a design across disease conditions. The resulting courses generated by the framework are personalized across four patient axes-condition and treatment, comprehension level, learning style based on the VARK (Visual, Aural, Read/write, Kinesthetic) presentation model, and the level of understanding of specific course content according to Bloom's taxonomy. Customizing educational materials along these learning axes stimulates and sustains patients' attention when learning about their conditions or treatment options. Our proposed framework creates a personalized course that prepares patients for their meetings with specialists and educates them about their prescribed treatment. We posit that the improvement in patients' understanding of prescribed care will result in better outcomes and we validate that the constructs of our framework are appropriate for representing content and deriving personalized courses for two use cases: anticoagulation treatment of an atrial fibrillation patient and lower back pain management to treat a lumbar degenerative disc condition. We conduct a mostly qualitative study supported by a quantitative questionnaire to investigate the acceptability of the framework among the target patient population and medical practitioners.

Abstract
OVERVIEW In the current work, we build upon a small body of literature that delineates cross-cutting factors, or processes, of evidence-based alcohol or other drug (AOD) therapies. Here, we discuss Psychoeducation. We define psychoeducation as a brief process of therapy focused on the communication of varied aspects of disease- and/or treatment-related information. METHOD The authors conducted a literature review and qualitative content analysis to derive a set of principles and practices of psychoeducation. The review used source documents (i.e., literature reviews, therapy manuals, and government-issued practice guidelines) and videos (i.e., therapy demonstration videos), and we performed analyses in NVIVO. RESULTS The review identified nine principles and 21 practices. Together, the principles suggest that psychoeducation in evidence-based addictions therapies can be characterized as a collaborative approach to teaching, education, or other provision of information. The term collaborative denotes a shift in emphasis from compliance to a more egalitarian partnership focused on meeting individual health needs. Specific practices included ways to transition to psychoeducation (e.g., provide rationale and promote expectancy), teaching methods in psychoeducation (e.g., use plain language), tailoring content in psychoeducation (e.g., to learning style, to cultural worldview), and methods for facilitating a dialogue about the information (i.e., five question types), for facilitating understanding and retention of the information (e.g., tailor to individual needs, use of varied teaching modalities), and how to end psychoeducation and engage in related goal-setting, where applicable. CONCLUSIONS We frame psychoeducation as a collaborative approach to teaching where client engagement, understanding, and utilization of the information provided is the central goal. We offer a novel resource with pragmatic value to trainees, providers, and clinical supervisors who do not consider themselves aligned with a single evidence-based modality but who may benefit from training and proficiency assessment in core, behavioral health counseling competencies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a large portion of oncology consultations have been conducted remotely. The maladaptation or compromise of care could negatively impact oncology patients and their disease management. OBJECTIVE We aimed to describe the development and implementation process of a web-based, animated patient education tool that supports oncology patients remotely in the context of fewer in-person interactions with health care providers. METHODS The platform created presents multilingual oncology care instructions. Animations concerning cancer care and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as immunotherapy and chemotherapy guides were the major areas of focus and represented 6 final produced video guides. RESULTS The videos were watched 1244 times in a period of 6 months. The most watched animation was the COVID-19 & Oncology guide (viewed 565 times), followed by the video concerning general treatment orientations (viewed 249 times) and the video titled "Chemotherapy" (viewed 205 times). Although viewers were equally distributed among the age groups, most were aged 25 to 34 years (342/1244, 27.5%) and were females (745/1244, 59.9%). CONCLUSIONS The implementation of a patient education platform can be designed to prepare patients and their caregivers for their treatment and thus improve outcomes and satisfaction by using a methodical and collaborative approach. Multimedia tools allow a portion of a patient's care to occur in a home setting, thereby freeing them from the need for hospital resources.

Abstract
AIM This concept analysis aims to clarify the concept of diabetic education in nursing to provide guidance for the further conceptualization and clarification of diabetic education in nursing. BACKGROUND Patient education is a fundamental component of diabetes care. Nurses have taken up a major role in educating people with diabetes to manage their conditions. However, the exact meaning of diabetic education in nursing remains challenging. DESIGN Rodgers' evolutionary method of concept analysis was performed to explore the concept of diabetic education in nursing. DATA SOURCE We conducted a literature search on Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), MedLine, and PsycInfo for works published until October 2020 using "patient education," "diabetes," and "nursing" as key terms. RESULTS The concept analysis revealed that key attributes of diabetic education in nursing include patient-centered and interactive approaches, planning, and problem solving. Antecedents related to individuals with diabetes are their backgrounds, needs, and motivations, while the antecedents related to nurses are experience and attitude. Finally, three different consequences of the concept emerged: an increase in knowledge and skills, a behavioral change, and the improvement of clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients awaiting kidney transplantation need to be prepared ahead of the upcoming transplantation by developing targeted pre- and post-transplant knowledge. On this background, we designed a new health literacy intervention, including a film and a counselling session, based on motivational interviewing for dialysis patients provided by dialysis nurses. AIM To explore patients' and nurses' experiences of the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, focusing on the patient as a prepared knowledge actor. DESIGN An explorative qualitative study. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS Data included in-depth interviews with nine patients and three nurses who participated in the intervention. The interviews were audiotaped and analysed following Kvale and Brinkmann's method for thematic data analysis. FINDINGS Three main themes were identified: a different kind of health intervention stimulating new insight; a challenging kind of health conversation and changed relationships and increased security. CONCLUSIONS Both the patients and the nurses had an overall positive attitude toward the intervention, providing a kind of dialogue to prepare dialysis patients going through kidney transplantation. The nurses found the MI methodology to be challenging. When introducing a comprehensive communication method like MI, potential training and supervision needs for the nurses must be addressed.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of the Korean version of the Nurses’ Patient Education Questionnaire. An accurate assessment of nurses’ perceived patient education competency is required, and these needs assessment results can provide the evidence for designing a continuing education to empower and equip nurses with optimal competency for patient education. A cross-sectional study was used to which a convenience sample of 262 hemodialysis unit nurses in the Republic of Korea. In the exploratory factor analysis, the questionnaire consisted of 26 items belonging to seven factors: (1) nurse belief and knowledge; (2) documentation of patient education activities; (3) collegial teamwork; (4) educational environment; (5) interdisciplinary cooperation; (6) education foundation; and (7) health care organization, all of which accounted for 70.2% of the variance. The internal consistency reliability was 0.91 for the overall scale and each factor at 0.70 to 0.77. The questionnaire provides a valid and reliable instrument to assess nurses’ patient education competency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore how shared decision-making (SDM) is learned in clinical practice according to professionals and patients. METHODS Focus group and individual interviews with interns (n = 9), residents (n = 12), senior physicians (n = 13), and (former) patients and relatives (n = 13) in fertility care and intensive care. RESULTS Patients and professionals identified barriers and drivers for SDM related to patient, caregiver, and context. Participants agreed: the nuances of SDM are learned in practice, not during undergraduate medical education. Through observing and copying from other professionals, interns and residents describe building their personal "repertoire" of SDM skills, knowledge, and attitude. Professionals indicated it was helpful to see many different examples - both good and bad - of physicians in action. CONCLUSION Learning SDM is a complicated task for both students and professionals in healthcare. Relevant factors are the involvement of patients, the role of informal learning processes and role models, and the importance of reflective practice. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Learning SDM in practice requires 1) measures to lessen pressures on a meso and macro level that hinder SDM in practice, 2) inventive and precise training and education and paying explicit attention to informal learning processes in clinical practice and learning through role models.

Abstract
Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease that affects as many as 12.5% of children aged 0-17 years and 3% of the adult population. In the United States, 31.6 million children and adults are estimated to be living with AD. Objective Therapeutic patient education (TPE) has proven its value in the management of chronic diseases for which adherence to therapy is suboptimal. This article explores experts' opinions and treatment practices to determine if TPE is a recommended and effective method for treating AD. Methods Forty-two (51%) of 82 Councilors and Associates of the International Eczema Council (IEC), an international group with expertise in AD, responded to an electronic survey on TPE and AD. Results Most respondents (97.5%) agreed that TPE should play an important role in the management of AD. Many respondents (82.9%) believed that all patients with AD, regardless of disease severity, could benefit from TPE. Limitations The International Eczema Council survey lacks specific information on AD severity. Conclusions Publications have shown the positive effect of TPE on the course of the disease, the prevention of complications, and the autonomy and quality of patient life. Survey respondents agreed that TPE can improve the quality of patient care and patient satisfaction with care.

Abstract
Comprehensive patient education is necessary for shared decision-making. While patient–provider conversations primarily drive patient education, patients also use published materials to enhance their understanding. In this investigation, we evaluated the readability of 2585 patient education materials published in high-impact medical journals from 1998 to 2018 and compared our findings to readability recommendations from national groups. For all materials, mean readability grade levels ranged from 11.2 to 13.8 by various metrics. Fifty-four (2.1%) materials met the American Medical Association recommendation of sixth grade reading level, and 215 (8.2%) met the National Institutes of Health recommendation of eighth grade level. When stratified by journal and material type, general medical education materials from Annals of Internal Medicine were the most readable (P < .001), with 79.8% meeting the eighth grade level. Readability did not differ significantly over time. Efforts to standardize publication practice with the incorporation of readability evaluation during the review process may improve patients’ understanding of their disease processes and treatment options.

Abstract
Introduction In the last decades, health professions have progressively moved towards person-centredness. Dentistry, however, lags behind the other health professions and remains deeply anchored in a biomedical vision.Aims Our objective was thus to better understand how dentists perceived person-centred care (PCC) and identify the challenges they may face in implementing it.Methods We conducted qualitative descriptive research in the province of Quebec, Canada; it was based on in-depth interviews with 11 general dental practitioners working in private clinics.Results Thematic analyses reveal that dentists had little interest in understanding the life and stories of their patients. Furthermore, their openness to share decision-making was limited to procedures that they considered of relatively low value and less for procedures they considered of higher value, such as indirect restorations.Discussion We argue that dentists' reluctance to understanding and shared decision-making is rooted in the old-established identity of dentistry as an art. Dentists indeed considered the dental craft as sacred - an art form with unbreakable axioms that defined quality of care.Conclusion It is time for the dental profession to reflect on its ideological foundations and reconsider its identity. This reflection is crucial to respond to the needs of a changing society that is losing its confidence in the profession.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Increasingly, health care is delivered through a patient-centered model, and patients engage in shared decision-making with their medical providers. As a result, medical educators are placing more emphasis on patient-centered communication skills. However, few published curricula currently offer a comprehensive discussion of skills for providing patient-centered education (PCE), a key component of shared decision-making. We developed an interactive, two-session workshop aiming to improve students' abilities to provide PCE. METHODS Our workshop included didactic instruction, group discussion, and interactive simulations. The workshop was delivered to 50 clinical clerkship medical students. The first session concentrated on educating patients about their diagnoses, while the second session focused on providing patients with information about medications and other treatments. We used detailed and realistic role-play exercises as a core tool for student practice and demonstration of confidence. To evaluate the workshop, we used pre- and postsurveys. RESULTS The sessions were well received by students, who strongly agreed both before and after the workshop that PCE was an important skill. Students also strongly agreed that the role-play exercises were an effective tool for learning PCE. They demonstrated significant improvements in their confidence to name important elements of PCE and to deliver PCE in the future. DISCUSSION This workshop fills a curricular gap in offering a comprehensive and interactive curriculum for improving students' abilities to provide critical PCE. The format and content should be easily adaptable to various disciplines, learners, and teaching modalities.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study was to compare immediate and short-term effects of combining dray needling (DN) + patient education vs ischemic compression (IC) + patient education for treating myofascial trigger points (MTP) in office workers with neck pain. Methods This was a single-blinded, randomized trial. Thirty-two participants were randomly assigned to either DN + patient education or IC + patient education group. Both groups received 2 treatment sessions with a 48-hour time interval. Pain intensity, cervical range of motion, Neck Disability Index, and satisfaction were measured. Results Pain intensity and neck disability level decreased, whereas the cervical range of motion (side-bending and rotation) increased in both groups. Analysis of variance revealed a significant interaction of group × treatment only for pain intensity, indicating a greater reduction in the IC group. Satisfaction generally increased in the follow-up assessment in both groups. Conclusion Both intervention groups had some positive immediate and short-term effects after 2 treatment sessions. However, IC + patient education was more effective than DN + patient education in the treatment of MTPs in office workers with neck pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To collect evidence on what types of technology and content are most effective in helping people with coronary heart disease (CHD) to change their modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS A literature search was performed to find relevant studies published between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2018 in PubMed, CINAHL, PROQUEST and Scopus databases. Selected outcomes were risk factors (exercise, diet, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, body mass index, tobacco use). The quality of the studies was evaluated according to Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers Manual Checklists for risk for bias, TIDieR for quality of interventions, and PRISMA statement for presenting results. RESULTS Eighteen quantitative (17 RCT´s and one quasi-experimental) studies were included. Patient education delivered through telephone, text messaging, webpages, and smartphone applications resulted in significant changes in some risk factors of people with CHD. Sufficient descriptions of the content and intervention methods were lacking. CONCLUSION Patient education delivered with technology can help people with CHD to modify their risk factors. There is a need for better descriptions of the content and delivery of educational interventions in studies. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Patient education needs to be delivered with technological solutions that best support the multidimensional needs of CHD patients.
