Virtual Simulation Tools for Communication Skills Training in Health Care Professionals: Literature Review

Virtual Simulation Tools for Communication Skills Training in Health Care Professionals: Literature Review

It has previously been shown that simulation-based learning is an effective means of acquiring communication skills [9]. Specifically, simulation with a standardized or simulated patient, which consists of using trained people to realistically portray a patient within learning contexts [10], is widely used to train communication skills [1]. Nonetheless, although the use of simulation methodologies has greatly advanced training in communication skills, its implementation also has limitations.

Development and Validation of the Media Health Literacy Scale: Assessment Tool Development Study

Development and Validation of the Media Health Literacy Scale: Assessment Tool Development Study

One of the key changes in transforming communication through the use of new media, including social network services and video-sharing platforms, is a shift from the one-way transmission of information by mass media institutions before the internet to a multidirectional exchange of information [1]. This change in the modes of communication has affected people’s lives as they use health care resources.

Prognostic Disclosure in Metastatic Breast Cancer: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Prognostic Disclosure in Metastatic Breast Cancer: Protocol for a Scoping Review

To promote the value of prognostic disclosure and help clinicians become more familiar with it, consensus guidelines specifically addressing patient-clinician communication have been developed [7]. Yet, many oncologists continue to feel uncomfortable communicating prognostic estimates to their patients, often due to concerns about causing psychological harm and diminishing hope [8-10].

Adolescent Emoji Use in Text-Based Messaging: Focus Group Study

Adolescent Emoji Use in Text-Based Messaging: Focus Group Study

Adolescent communication is increasingly mediated by text-based communication platforms like SMS or social media messaging. About 95% of US adolescents aged 13‐17 years have a smartphone for personal use [1], and adolescents in this age group send and receive an average of 67 text messages each day [2]. Text messaging is now the dominant mode of communication between adolescents [2] and is increasingly important to adolescents’ relationships with parents and other adults [3].

The Dynamics of Doctor-Patient Communication During Remote Consultations: Qualitative Study Among Norwegian Contract General Practitioners

The Dynamics of Doctor-Patient Communication During Remote Consultations: Qualitative Study Among Norwegian Contract General Practitioners

This global shift has altered the dynamics of medical consultations [16,17] and had a profound impact on the substance and efficacy of communication between GPs and their patients [8,11,18-24]. Remote communication introduces both novel opportunities and challenges in clinical practice [6-11,25-27]. Remote consultations inherently elevate accessibility, offering efficient, environmentally friendly, and positively received solutions for patients [12].

User Experience of a Bespoke Videoconferencing System for Web-Based Family Visitation for Patients in an Intensive Care Unit: 1-Year Cross-Sectional Survey of Nursing Staff

User Experience of a Bespoke Videoconferencing System for Web-Based Family Visitation for Patients in an Intensive Care Unit: 1-Year Cross-Sectional Survey of Nursing Staff

They called urgently for ways to maintain communication with family members who were no longer allowed to be physically present at the bedside [7]. At the beginning of the pandemic, hospitals quickly adopted technological solutions, including videoconferencing systems, to maintain or reopen communication channels. Previous studies have shown that adopting telemedicine solutions has numerous barriers, including the user’s acceptance and experience with the technology [8-10].

Alternative Presentations of Overall and Statistical Uncertainty for Adults’ Understanding of the Results of a Randomized Trial of a Public Health Intervention: Parallel Web-Based Randomized Trials

Alternative Presentations of Overall and Statistical Uncertainty for Adults’ Understanding of the Results of a Randomized Trial of a Public Health Intervention: Parallel Web-Based Randomized Trials

Decision scientists have articulated basic principles for effective health communication, such as using simple and familiar wording, using clear visual design, presenting structured comparisons of alternatives, and careful testing in the target audiences [2-5]. A recent randomized trial assessed the effect of these principles on communication effectiveness in the context of COVID-19 home test kit instructions using a real example [6].
