Treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome: How to find a ‘new equilibrium’?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In this issue of Patient Education and Counseling, two interesting papers challenge current evidence-based treatments of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). In the first study Goudsmit et al. show that a brief multi-component programme aimed at helping CFS patients cope with their illness, may be as effective as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). In the second study Jason et al. demonstrate that CFS patients who carefully stayed within their ‘energy envelope’ (measured by a self-monitoring strategy) did better than patients who were less successful in keeping expended energy close to available energy – a finding that chal...

Commentary on ‘Elements of effective communication—Rediscoveries from homeopathy’Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We thank Hartog for bringing interesting topics up for discussion in Patient Education and Counseling – homeopathy, its effects, and communication in homeopathic consultations. Homeopathy stems from the ideas of Hahnemann (b. 1755). One central idea in homeopathy is that disease can be treated with extremely diluted amounts of substances, substances which in larger doses would cause exactly the disease the medication is meant to cure. Homeopathic medication is produced through a process involving dilution and shaking . (Source: Patient Education and Counseling)

The advent of the personal computer and the Internet offered many chances to health care and health education. In the US and in Western Europe consumers, patients, and providers are increasingly using eHealth tools, more technically speaking, Interactive Health Communication Applications , for various health-related purposes: to seek health information for themselves or family and friends , to communicate with health professionals, and to receive prevention and health promotion messages . The emerging interactive technologies by which health information is delivered range from the Internet, CD-ROMs, personal digital assist...

A better model of diabetes self-management? Interactions between GP communication and patient self-efficacy in self-monitoring of blood glucoseEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: This exploratory study suggests a complex relationship between patient self-efficacy and GP communication in self-monitoring of blood glucose. It is likely optimal diabetes self-management behaviours are produced by a fit between high patient self-efficacy and high quality GP communication.Practice implications: There is a risk that GPs who are sensitive to their patients’ low self-efficacy in self-monitoring of blood glucose may step in and take over the monitoring role and inadvertently reduce self-management.

Patient–doctor interaction in rehabilitation: The relationship between perceived interaction quality and long-term treatment resultsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Our results suggest a correlation between perceived interaction quality, as defined by our questionnaire and treatment effects six months after discharge. Comparisons of patient and physician evaluations showed that physicians seem to be successful in building relationships on the affective level, but less successful on the instrumental level (i.e. information, structuring and reinforcement). They also perceive disturbances on the relational and organisational level more strongly than patients.Practice implications: Our data underline the importance of interaction quality for the success of rehabilitation and t...

Conclusion: Active collaboration with parents and carers revealed areas for enhancement in our communication skill teaching, particularly with regard to relational and perceptual skills.Practice implications: Ways of including effective teaching of perceptual skills and the relational and humanistic aspects of communication must be explored in order to meet the needs of child patients and their families.

Mind the gap: Learners’ perspectives on what they learn in communication compared to how they and others behave in the real worldEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Our experiences differed between universities from the same country, which widened across continents. The differences between how we behave in the classroom and how we are with real patients when unobserved have been highlighted; and we have attempted to explain why trainees sometimes modify their behavior in medical assessments with standardized patients for examinations as opposed to how we would perform on wards or in general practice. The teaching of communication skills will continue to develop over the forthcoming years.Practice implications: Integrating communication skills into medical school curricula ...

Conclusions: Mailed biopsy reports frequently failed to enhance patient understanding and participation in decisions. Incomprehensibility of written information, and unmet expectations, evoked negative emotional responses.Practice implications: Improving readability with simple, non-technical information; and verification of understanding and fulfillment of recommendations using a follow-up call are critical for accomplishing the goals of mailed biopsy reports.

Abstract: This plenary presentation from the EACH International Conference on Communication in Healthcare in Oslo 2008, takes an honest look at the present state of communication teaching and considers how to take the next steps to move communication into the very centre of medical education.Although clinical communication teaching has become increasingly accepted as a formal component of the medical curriculum, there is still a problem to be faced. Communication still often appears in medical education to be a peripheral element rather than a mainstream activity truly perceived by schools and learners as central to all cl...

Conclusion: The evidence base is small, and a more rigorous approach to reporting quality indicators is needed. However, observed dyad differences may provide different opportunities for effective communication and clinical outcomes for patients. Further research with a primary focus on gender dyad effects is needed to test this.Practice implications: Findings have implications for policy, healthcare organisations, and individual doctors alike, raising awareness about workforce issues and communication skills training needs in particular.

Empirical research on empathy in medicine—A critical reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The empirical studies of empathy in medicine tend to separate empathy from main parts of clinical perception, judgment, and communication. Thus, important aspects and influences of empathy have been relatively neglected.Practice implications: Future studies should include transparent concepts, more than one method and perspective, qualitative approaches, the physician's and the patient's concrete experiences and interpretations, and the context in which empathy is developed and practiced.

Some of the citations (#109–113) related to Social Judgment Theory (SJT) in the Cameron (2009) manuscript were mistakenly cited; they refer to a Social Judgment Theory proposed by K.R. Hammond and colleagues (1975), and not that presented by M. Sherif and colleagues [M. Sherif and C.I. Hovland (1961) and C.W. Sherif, M. Sherif and R.E. Nebergall (1965)]. SJT citations relevant to the theory explained in the manuscript include Greene, Parrott, Serovich (1993) and Smith, Atkin, Martell, Allen & Hembroff (2006).

One size does not fit all: How to talk to patients about obesityEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In the current issue of Patient Education and Counseling there are two papers on obesity. Malterud and Tonstad describe some “challenges and pitfalls for health promotion” related to obesity prevention . They point out that obesity prevention is not easy. For instance, doctors may give too much emphasis to Body Mass Index (BMI) as an indicator of obesity; there are individual differences in how relevant BMI is as predictor of obesity related diseases. The authors also underline the interplay between biological and psychological factors in the development of obesity. Their take home message is that “…clinical health...

Conclusions: The use of typical patient-centred techniques increases information gathered from patients. Physicians document only a small percentage of patient information in the charts, their ‘condensing heuristic’ is not shared with patients.Practice implications: Patient involvement should be advocated not only to medical decision making but also to the way physicians document the content of a consultation. It is a joint responsibility of patient and health care professional to decide, which information should be kept and thus be communicated to another health care professional in future consultations.

Conclusion: Evidence that goal-setting is superior to other behavior change methods has not been shown.

Engaging patients in goal-setting can be done with interactive computer programs and non-clinical members of the primary care team. (Source: Patient Education and Counseling)
