Introduction: Stroke survivors often have communicative disabilities. They should, however, be involved when decisions are made about their care treatment.
Aim: To explore and describe how nurses act as moderators of the communication in cooperative care-planning meetings and what kind of participant status the patients achieve in this type of multi-party talk.
Method: Thirteen care-planning meetings were audio-recorded and transcribed. Nurses, social workers and stroke survivors were the main participants for the meetings. A coding scheme was created and three main categories were used for the analysis: pure utterance types, expert comments (EC) and asymmetries.
Results: The nurses never invited the patients to tell their own versions without possible influence from them. Mostly the nurses gave ECs. The nurses acted as the patients' advocates by talking for or about them. They rarely supported the patients' utterances.
Conclusion: There is an urgent need for nurses to learn how to involve the patients in the communicative process about their treatment. Assessment of the patients' communicative abilities before the care-planning meetings as well as knowledge about how to invite them can improve the patients' participant status.

Exploring Motives Behind Ideal Melanoma Survivorship Care Plans With Multiple Stakeholders: A Cocreation Study.
JMIR Cancer
January 2025
Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Background: Survivorship care plans (SCPs), ie, personalized health care plans for cancer survivors, can be used to support the growing group of melanoma survivors throughout their disease trajectory. However, implementation and effectiveness of SCPs are suboptimal and could benefit from the involvement of stakeholders in developing a user-centered design.
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the ideal SCP for patients with melanoma in terms of functions and features to be included according to different stakeholders and to explore their underlying motives.

Community engagement is increasingly considered a key component of intervention development, as it can leverage community members' knowledge, experiences, and insights to create a nuanced intervention which meets the needs, preferences, and realities of the population of interest. Community engagement exists along a spectrum from outreach to the community to partnership with community members and organizations, and all levels of community engagement can benefit from systematic documentation of community feedback and decision-making processes. This paper demonstrates how we utilized the "Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications to Evidence-based Interventions" (FRAME; Wiltsey Stirman et al.

: Patients with dementia (PwD) nearing end of life (nEOL) do not always receive optimal end-of-life care, including timely specialist palliative care input. In hospitalized PwD likely to be nEOL, we aimed to determine the prevalence of goals of care discussions; the incidence and timing of referral to palliative care; factors associated with palliative care referral and timely (within 2 days) palliative care referral; and the prevalence of polypharmacy (>5 medications) and in-hospital deprescribing (cessation). : A retrospective chart review of a cohort of PwD admitted under geriatric medicine 1 July 2021-30 June 2022 was conducted, screening to identify nEOL status.

Background: Early palliative care interventions in oncology, as recommended by international oncology societies, promote patient understanding and support decision-making. At the same time, shared decision-making models are being developed to enhance patient participation as part of a new model of patient-physician relationship. For patients with palliative needs, this participation is essential and helps to avoid futile and aggressive treatments at the end of life.

- Conducted through a national cohort study and practice survey, data was collected from midwifery units in the UK between October 2021 and February 2023.
- Results indicated that women with diabetes did not have significantly different maternal or neonatal outcomes compared to those without diabetes, suggesting that selected diabetic women can be safely managed in these units.
