Summary: This study reevaluated patients' satisfaction with primary care physicians and clinics in Israel, comparing the results to a survey from 1999. The study found a significant reduction in patient satisfaction, particularly in areas related to emotional support and explanations about referrals and workup plans. The decrease in satisfaction highlights the need for further exploration and attention to this issue in primary care.

Summary: This study aimed to identify barriers to sickle cell disease (SCD) care from the perspective of individuals with SCD in a multi-state sample. The results showed that lack of knowledge, inadequate caregiver support, limited provider knowledge, and transportation barriers were major obstacles to optimal SCD care. Strategies tailored towards reducing these barriers are necessary to improve the quality of SCD care.

Summary: This study explored nurses' and physicians' experiences of simulation-based training in a crisis resource management quality improvement intervention on intensive care admission. The findings indicate that simulation-based training has a positive impact on improving staff's non-technical skills, including prioritizing core clinical activities and patient centredness, transition into practice, and reflection on patient safety. Clear communication, predefined roles, and better teamwork facilitate prioritizing core clinical activities, while feedback stimulates professional growth in the transition into practice.

Summary: The objective of this study was to identify the perspectives of health professionals on the role of hope and the challenges they face when communicating with patients in palliative care. The results showed that health professionals believe hope is elicited through a personal patient-provider bond and exhibited through medical treatment delivery. However, they face difficulties when delivering prognosis, referring to hospice, and providing palliation.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the use and factors associated with low-value care in Japan. The study utilized a multicentre observational design and claims data from 242 large acute care hospitals in Japan. The findings revealed that approximately 7.5% of patients received low-value care services based on the broader definition, while about 4.9% received such services based on the narrower definition. There was no significant change in the prevalence of low-value services between 2015 and 2019. Factors such as hospital size, age, sex, and comorbidities were associated with the likelihood of receiving low-value care.

Summary: This study aimed to understand bereaved family caregivers' perceptions of patients' care experiences, the extent to which care was perceived as goal-concordant, and the factors that influenced the end-of-life care experience. The study found that most caregivers reported goal-concordant care, but also recalled experiences of goal discordance. Communication, relationships and humanistic care, and care transitions were identified as key factors influencing care perceptions.

Summary: The study found that patient characteristics, such as age, gender, and educational level, can influence the way they perceive hospital care. Different factors were considered important by patients based on their characteristics, with the main concern overall being the risk of getting a hospital-acquired infection. Therefore, hospitals should take actions to prevent infections and share relevant information with patients.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges for the medical care of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients. A comprehensive survey was conducted to investigate healthcare structure and patient-specific concerns during the crisis, with a focus on social and emotional distress. The survey revealed that most NET patients were worried about their tumor treatment during the crisis and considered themselves at risk of severe COVID-19 infection. Increased distress in the social and psycho-emotional domains indicated a need for optimization in the medical care of NET patients.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-ethnography to identify and synthesize guidance for optimizing feedback interactions in undergraduate clinical communication simulations. The findings led to the development of a new Feedback Kidney Model, which can guide medical education and future research on feedback in promoting learning. Incorporating meta-cognitive training and utilizing the model can help improve students' learning and communication with patients through on-site face-to-face feedback.

Summary: This study explores the interpretation of MS-targeted nutrition messages using semi-structured interviews. 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 study examined the impact of racial differences on patient trust and distrust in physician-patient interactions through audio-recorded cardiologist-patient encounters. The results showed that Black patients had lower expressions of trust and a higher level of guardedness compared to White patients. It suggests that White clinicians can improve communication with Black patients to increase expressions of trust.

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.

Summary: This study aims to explore the perspectives and needs of healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients regarding the use of outcome data in consultations. The findings indicate that HCPs do not routinely use aggregated outcome data in consultations due to various barriers. Patients, however, consider aggregated outcome data important but have different preferences based on their health conditions.

Summary: This study summarizes the recent evidence on the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of videoconference group-based patient and caregiver education. The results suggest that this education approach is highly feasible and acceptable, and may improve health outcomes for participants. However, the evidence of effectiveness is limited and the quality of studies varies. Further research is needed to establish the effectiveness of this education approach for different patient and caregiver groups.
