Coding the negative emotions of family members and patients among the high-risk preoperative conversations with the Chinese version of VR-CoDES.

Background: Little is known about family members' and patients' expression of negative emotions among high-risk preoperative conversations.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the occurrence and patterns of the negative emotions of family members and patients in preoperative conversations, to investigate the conversation themes and to explore the correlation between the negative emotions and the conversation themes.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using the Chinese version of Verona Coding Definitions of Emotional Sequences (VR-CoDES-C) to code 297 conversations on high-risk procedures.

'Mindfulness Living with Insomnia': an mHealth intervention for individuals with insomnia in China: a study protocol of a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Insomnia has a remarkably negative effect on the work, quality of life and psychosomatic health of individuals, and imposes a substantial economic burden on society.

How physicians respond to negative emotions in high-risk preoperative conversations.

Objective: To investigate physicians' responses to negative emotions in high-risk preoperative conversations; and to explore the influencing factors of these responses.

Methods: One hundred and sixty-two audio recordings were coded using the Chinese Verona Coding Definition of Emotional Sequences (VR-CoDES). Big Five Personality Inventory Brief Version and Emotional Intelligence Scale were administered to explore the influencing factors of physicians' responses.

The Chinese version of OPTION scale: Is it reliable on measuring the shared decision-making among preoperative conversations.

Objective: To test the reliability of the Chinese version of the OPTION (OPTION-C) scale; and to evaluate the level of shared decision-making (SDM) in the preoperative conversations for high-risk procedures by using the OPTION-C.

Methods: Two hundred and ninety-seven conversations were rated. Cronbach's alpha, Pearson's correlation coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used to assess the reliability of the OPTION-C.
