Filter by:Suicide is the leading cause of death among young people (YP) aged 10 to 25 years in the Netherlands. In addition, YP report high rates of suicidal ideation (16%). While suicidal behavior is a complex phenomenon with many factors and causes, the role of social media is becoming more prominent, especially for YP. Social media has been shown to be a source where YP can find support, but it's also a place where suicidal behavior is glorified or normalized, which can be triggering or harmful to other social media consumers. The #Chatsafe guidelines were developed by Orygen Australia to better equip young people to communicate safely about suicide on social media. These guidelines are supported by a social media campaign to make the content of the guidelines more accessible to them. The #Chatsafe intervention consists of both the guidelines and the social media campaign. A small-scale Australian feasibility study showed promising results in terms of the acceptance and safety of the campaign, and safety regarding communicating about suicide on social media platforms. Currently, in Australia it is tested to what extent these results hold up in a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) (Robinson et al., 2023). With funding from the Dutch National Agenda for Suicide Prevention, a contextualized replication study is conducted. The aim of this study is to determine whether the #Chatsafe intervention has an effect on the way in which Dutch YP communicate online about suicide.
Rationale: Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) is a common and disabling condition. Physiotherapy is the most frequently administered non-pharmacological treatment option for patients with CMP and recently virtual reality (VR) was introduced in physiotherapy care as a novel treatment modality. Proper communication about physiotherapy treatment (modalities) is important to improve treatment outcomes, by applying placebo effects enhancing communication and avoiding nocebo effects enhancing communication. However, yet is still unknown to what extent this applies to communication of physiotherapists about VR in patients with CMP. Objective: To determine the effect of physiotherapists' placebo or nocebo therapeutic communication about VR, on treatment credibility and expectation in patients with CMP Study design: Web-based randomized controlled trial. Study population: 100 participants Intervention: The placebo intervention group will be shown an educational video about VR, containing placebo effects enhancing verbal language. The nocebo intervention group will be shown an educational video about VR, containing nocebo effects enhancing verbal language. Primary study parameters: The primary study parameters are treatment credibility and treatment expectation. Treatment credibility and treatment expectations will be measured using the Dutch credibility and expectancy questionnaire (CEQ).
In order to support the desire of most adolescents to delay pregnancy (parenting) until their own adulthood, pediatricians must be comfortable and skilled in having reproductive health conversations with adolescents and the mothers of adolescents. Artificial intelligence, such as a chatbot, could be programmed to simulate the perspective of the mother or the daughter as a tool for pediatricians to practice communication before interacting with "real" families. Through human-centered design, an iterative problem-solving approach, our overall goal is to develop and test a communication training chatbot tool that is accurate, developmentally tailored for adolescents and mothers, culturally tailored, and aids pediatricians to manage resistance and conflict about contraception to ultimately close disparities in teen births. The investigator's primary hypothesis is that a communication focused intervention will improve pediatrician interactions with dyads about contraception. Through three stages, the study team will develop an artificial intelligence tool as a behavioral intervention. The study team will gather basic communication data to generate, refine, modify, adapt, and pilot test novel communication tools with real-world encounters while keeping humans at the center of attention
In the first-year project of this study, oncology nurses have reported experiencing massive stress, insufficient communication ability, and the need for communication-related training. 70% of them had moderate or higher severity of workload, fatigue, and psychological distress (at the measure point) before being provided with Basic Remote Psychological Support Course (BRPSC). A month after BRPSC, some oncology nurses have indicated/affirmed the benefits of undergoing the comprehensive psycho oncology education training courses. Thus, the second- and third-year continuation projects are focused on the development and delivery of Multi-Psychological Empowerment Courses (MPEC) for oncology nurses
The research will be carried out in a randomized controlled experimental study design in order to evaluate the effect of standard patient simulation method on communication skills, satisfaction and self-confidence in learning of nursing students in communication with intensive care patients. The research will be conducted face-to-face with nursing students who are in the 2nd year of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Sinop University and meet the inclusion criteria in the fall semester of 2022-2023, after the necessary permissions are obtained for the study.
In 2014, a team of parents, nurses, and physicians created Patient and Family Centered I-PASS (PFC I-PASS), a bundle of communication interventions to improve the quality of information exchange between physicians, nurses, and families, and to better integrate families into all aspects of daily decision making in hospitals. PFC I-PASS changed how doctors and nurses talk to patients and families on rounds when they're admitted to the hospital. (Rounds are when a team of doctors visit patients every morning to do a checkup and make a plan for the day.) Rounds used to happen in a way that left out patients and families. Doctors talked at, not with patients, used big words and medical talk, and left nurses out. PFC I-PASS changed rounds by including families and nurses, using simple non-medical words, and talking in an organized way so nothing is left out. When PFC I-PASS was put in place in 7 hospitals, patients had fewer adverse events and better hospital experience. But it didn't focus on how to talk with patients with language barriers. This project builds upon upon PFC I-PASS to make it better and focus on the special needs of patients who speak languages other than English. This new intervention is known as PFC I-PASS+. PFC I-PASS+ includes all parts of PFC I-PASS plus having interpreters on and after rounds and training doctors about communication and cultural humility. The study team will now conduct a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial to compare the effectiveness of PFC I-PASS+ and PFC I-PASS to usual care at 8 hospitals.
Backround: Positive psychotherapy (PPT) divides conflicts into three. One of these conflicts is the key conflicts that occur frequently in daily life and arise from the unbalanced use of courtesy and honesty. Avoiding key conflicts depends on the balanced use of courtesy and honesty. Nursing students' balance of courtesy and honesty while communicating will reduce key conflicts and increase the level of effective communication skills. This is important in terms of making a significant contribution to the quality of nursing care. Objectives: This research was conducted to determine the effect of PPT-based kindness and honesty psychoeducation on the level of effective communication skills of nursing students. Design: The study is a randomized controlled, pretest-posttest design, and a single-blind study. Settings and participants: This research will conduct with 64 undergraduate nursing students who took a psychiatric nursing course. Methods: Students will divid into intervention and control groups by simple randomization method. "Personal information form and effective communication skills scale" will apply to the intervention and control groups. After the pre-measurements will apply, the intervention group received courtesy and honesty key (KMCI) psychoeducation for 5 weeks, and no intervention will apply to the control group. Afterwards, a post-test will apply to both groups. Key words: Positive psychotherapy, effective communication skills, nursing students, psychoeducation, courtesy and honesty.
This experimental study aims to investigate the effect of different types of educational interventions on overcoming Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy among the Higher School of Economics (HSE) bachelor students in Russia.
Safety of healthcare professionals working in high-risk environments is of upmost importance. Personal protective equipment (PPE) may affect the performance of individuals and teams by altering their senses, manual skills and ability to communicate. Current guidelines offer flexibility in terms of which specific PPE components can safely be used. Yet, in some organisations, healthcare workers become used to using PPE well above the recommended standards (termed further in text as super-safe setup, SSS). Impact of this PPE policy on team performance and in turn to patient safety is unknown. The investigators hypothesise that SSS, as compared to WHO PPE standard, would negatively impact team performance and patient outcomes in a simulated crisis scenario.
Obstetrics and Gynecology residents, fellows and attending physicians will be randomized to view one of two educational presentations of equal duration. The "intervention" presentation will demonstrate the use of a standardized language for effective communication of laparoscopy commands. Both groups will be asked to perform a simulated laparoscopic task. Participants will be timed and use of the standardized language will be tracked and tabulated. The primary outcome of interest is whether the use of standard commands during a simulated laparoscopic task is associated with sooner completion of the task. This may translate into improved efficiency in the operating room.
