Summary: The aim of this study was to explore the support needed by people with type 2 diabetes in primary care settings as perceived by nurses. The study also compared these needs with the needs expressed by the patients themselves in a previous study. The study used a structured qualitative group method to generate a concept map that can be used to support and evaluate practice change.

Summary: Person-centred care with systematic patient-engagement is gaining popularity in healthcare systems, especially for older patients with multi-morbidity. Studies have shown significant improvements in health outcomes and quality of life for patients, but more robust research is needed to further explore efficient approaches for engaging older adults with multi-morbidity in care trajectories.

Summary: This study aimed to translate, adapt, and validate the Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS) using a sample of primary care health-care professionals in Spain. The results showed that Spanish primary care health-care professionals generally have a patient-oriented attitude, but less so in issues such as patients' need for and management of medical information.

Summary: This study aims to develop a theoretically informed, 12-week person-centred dyadic behaviour change intervention called We Walk, to increase physical activity in community-dwelling people with stroke through outdoor walking. The intervention components and structure were determined through literature review, stakeholder focus groups, and consultation with behaviour change experts. Detailed delivery manuals were developed based on the final intervention content.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate and advance a theoretical model of patient-centred care (PCC) developed in consultation with practising GPs and patient advocates. The study identified three key themes relating to participants' impressions of the model and new components of PCC perceived to be experienced in the 'real world'. The findings support the credibility of the model and its potential application beyond the doctor-patient encounter.

Summary: Artificial intelligence (AI) is seen as a potential solution to healthcare system challenges, improving doctor-patient relationships and freeing up time for doctors. However, there is limited evidence on AI's impact on relationships and how to ensure its positive implementation for person-centred care. A literature review identified empathy, compassion, shared decision-making, and trust as key values. The study suggests using AI in an assistive role and adapting medical education to ensure positive impacts on person-centred doctor-patient relationships rely on clarifying healthcare system values.

Summary: As many as 80% of internet users seek health information online, and the social determinants of health are closely linked to internet access and healthcare as a whole. Virtual communities on social media platforms are increasingly serving as a venue for seeking health information, with peers influencing health behavior. Utilizing social media as a mediator of health requires consideration of factors such as false content and privacy concerns.

Summary: This study explored patients' experiences and perceptions of touch during medical appointments with their general practitioners. It found that physical examination serves as a ritual that establishes roles, verifies doctors' skills, and creates a caring experience. Touch is also a means for doctors to exercise power authorized by patients and has relational and emotional value. The study discussed the internalization of physical examination by patients, the appropriateness of touch, and the need for communication to make touch an active tool for trust and relationship-building.

Summary: This study explores the influence of clinical supervision on person-centred practice. It found that clinical supervision has a positive impact on participants' person-centred attributes, but its influence on others is less clear. Further research is needed to integrate clinical supervision with person-centred care to enhance nursing practice.

Summary: This systematic literature review aimed to identify and evaluate clinical approaches to whole person assessment (WPA) that are applicable to family medicine. The review found that while some methods partially aligned with models of whole person care (WPC), they often fell short of encompassing all aspects of WPC. Although no ideal multipurpose WPA for general practice was identified, some approaches may be suitable with adaptation and evaluation, and the strengths of existing approaches can inform future WPA development.

Summary: This study found that nearly half of Australians use complementary medicine (CM) products, with half of them frequently or always using CM products on the same day as prescription medications. Older individuals, those with lower education levels, and those with chronic illnesses are more likely to concurrently use CM products and other medications. Overall, the prevalence and characteristics of CM use in the Australian population are similar to data collected five years ago. This study highlights the need for further research to ensure appropriate and safe use of CM products among older and more vulnerable populations.

Summary: This systematic review focuses on investigating the association between modifiable paternal preconception health behaviors and risk factors with pregnancy and/or offspring outcomes.The evidence suggests that paternal smoking may increase the risk of birth defects, and higher paternal BMI is associated with higher offspring birthweight. However, the current evidence is limited and heterogeneous, and further high-quality research is needed to inform clinical preconception care guidelines.

Summary: There are differences between osteopaths practicing in rural and remote settings and those practicing in urban settings in terms of population distribution and practice characteristics. Osteopaths in rural and remote settings are more likely to receive referrals from massage therapists, send referrals to other osteopaths, and often treat patients over 65 years old, while they are less likely to use private health insurance claim systems and treat non-English-speaking patients.

Summary: Research on CAM use reveals that clients highly value the consultation process, as it empowers them through active listening and control over their health. However, there is limited sociological analysis on the dynamics between CAM practitioners and clients within the consultation. This study uses audio recordings and interviews to explore knowledge utilization in client-practitioner interactions, and introduces the concept of the 'salutogenic gaze' to understand the operation of power/knowledge in the CAM consultation.

Summary: This study aims to examine the criteria used to select, evaluate, and apply traditional knowledge (TK) in contemporary health contexts. The results show that TK is primarily used in the exploration phase, with little reporting on the preparation, implementation process, or sustainment. The criteria for evaluating TK commonly involve validation with other evidence sources or assessment of factors influencing knowledge translation.

The findings reveal that dietary changes made by patients with MS after diagnosis are a coping mechanism to address uncertainty, fear of disease progression, and the risk of relapse. The admiration and skepticism towards extremist MS diets depend on individual vulnerability and support from healthcare professionals. The unique MS journey influences the interpretation of the messages, driven by engagement, practicality, and credibility.

Summary: This study examined how language choices made by call handlers affect the progress of complaint calls and the stance of the callers. The findings showed that displaying affiliation at relevant moments in the conversation helps advance the call and de-escalate the complaint, while the absence or misplacement of affiliation may lead to escalation. Early intervention in establishing affiliation with the caller's concerns and reasoning is crucial for de-escalation.

Summary: This paper aims to understand the facilitators and barriers perceived by general practice physicians in initiating anticipatory guidance around firearm safety. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 18 GPs to explore their perspectives. Barriers to providing secure firearm storage counseling include inadequate screening mechanisms, limited understanding of who is at risk for firearm injury, time pressures, concerns about patient receptivity, and a need for training. Structural issues need to be addressed before focusing on how to have conversations about firearm safety.
