Preliminary effectiveness of social prescription and virtual patient information in increasing tertiary prevention among cancer patients (ESPRIT): protocol for a single-centre, randomised controlled pilot trial.

Introduction: Tertiary prevention through physical activity and psychosocial support can positively impact patient outcomes, such as physical function and quality of life (QoL). However, more research is required on the effectiveness of strategies designed to increase the uptake of tertiary prevention programmes among cancer patients. Here, we present the protocol for a single-centre, randomised controlled pilot trial testing the preliminary effectiveness of social prescription and virtual patient information in increasing tertiary prevention among cancer patients and support persons (SPs) (ESPRIT "ffectiveness of a ocial escription and virtual patient nformation in increasing ertiary prevention" pilot trial).

"Uninformed consent" in clinical trials with cancer patients: A qualitative analysis of patients' and support persons' communication experiences and needs.

Objective: Cancer patients are often overwhelmed when being informed about clinical trials. However, there is a lack of evidence-based strategies to improve physician-patient communication in this area. This study assessed the experiences and needs of cancer patients and their support persons (SPs) during the informed consent (IC) process prior to participation in clinical trials.

Climate-specific health literacy in health professionals: an exploratory study.

Background: Health professionals such as physicians and nurses may play an important role in the transformation process towards a healthy, sustainable and climate-sensitive society. However, little is known about their climate-specific health literacy. This study aimed to assess knowledge regarding climate change and its impacts on health and climate-specific health literacy in health professionals.

Experiences, opinions and expectations of health care providers towards an intensive care unit follow-up clinic: Qualitative study and online survey.

Objectives: Independent of the underlying disease, intensive care unit survivors often suffer from cognitive, physical and mental impairments, also known as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Specific follow-up services are recommended for these patients. This study aims to capture the perspectives of health care providers on the development of the first intensive care unit follow-up-clinic in Germany.
