A measure of individual differences in readers' approaches to text and its relation to reading experience and reading comprehension.

Readers have different motivations and approaches to text that covers a range of topics and difficulty levels. We introduce the concept of readers' approaches to text to establish a link between motivational and cognitive aspects of reading comprehension. Study 1 describes the development of a self-report measure of readers' approaches to text with a community sample.

Word-to-text integration and antecedent accessibility: Eye-tracking evidence extends results of event-related potentials (ERPs).

Eye tracking and event-related potentials (ERPs) have complementary advantages in the study of reading processes. We used eye tracking to extend ERP evidence of Helder et al. (2020) that word-to-text integration at the beginnings and ends of sentences is primarily determined by local text factors (antecedents in a previous sentence) but that global factors (central theme) may make these antecedents more accessible in memory and thus facilitate their integration.

Leveraging information technology to drive improvement in patient satisfaction.

A healthcare organization's commitment to quality and the patient experience requires senior leader involvement in improvement strategies, and accountability for goals. Further, improvement strategies are most effective when driven by data, and in the world of patient satisfaction, evidence is growing that nurse leader rounding and discharge calls are strategic tactics that can improve patient satisfaction. This article describes how The Ohio State University Medical Center (OSUMC) leveraged health information technology (IT) to apply a data-driven strategy execution to improve the patient experience.

Discussing STIs: doctors are from Mars, patients from Venus.

Background: Primary care plays an important role in promoting sexual health, but in this setting counselling regarding sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is rarely performed and often inadequate.

Objective: Our aim was to identify and quantify the barriers physicians encounter in discussing STIs with their patients.

Methods: A postal questionnaire-based survey was carried out in a random sample of 200 primary care physicians in Antwerp, Belgium.
