AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find factors influencing preferences for patient-centered care among cancer survivors and how cancer health literacy relates to these preferences.
- Cross-sectional analysis involved 345 cancer survivors, using interviews and specific scales to assess health literacy and care preferences.
- Results indicated that better health literacy, higher education, being employed, having a breast cancer diagnosis, and not wanting psychological support were linked to a greater preference for patient-centered care.
Article Abstract
Objective: Our primary objective was to identify predictors associated with preferences for patient-centered care among cancer survivors and the association between cancer health literacy and patient-centered care preferences.
Methods: Cross sectional analyses of N = 345 adult cancer survivors (5 years post cancer diagnosis) attending follow-ups at University Malaya Medical Centre, Malaysia. Face-to face-interviews were conducted using the 30-item Cancer Health Literacy Test and the Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale to determine preference for patient-centered care.
Results: Cancer survivors' preference for patient-centered care was associated with a higher cancer health literacy score, higher educational level, being employed, breast cancer diagnosis, and not desiring psychological support [F (14, 327) = 11.25, p < 0.001, R = 0.325].
Conclusion: Findings from this study provide insights into preferences for patient-centered care among cancer survivors during receipt of follow-up care, which remains an understudied phase of cancer care delivery.
Practice Implications: Efforts are needed to ensure different preferences for care are taken into account particularly in the setting of variable cancer health literacy.

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a birth defect of the heart that requires long-term care and often leads to additional health complications. Effective educational strategies are essential for improving health literacy and care outcomes. Despite affecting around 40,000 children annually in the United States, there is a gap in understanding children's health literacy, parental educational burdens, and the efficiency of health care providers in delivering education.

Background: Patients with severe mental illness experience serious inequity when facing cancer treatment. They are less likely to be referred for cancer treatment following recommended guidelines and have poorer cancer survival than patients without mental illness. Relevant specialties such as psychiatry and general practice are rarely involved, and the patient perspective is rarely represented in research in the field.

Background And Purpose: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are widely performed surgeries for end-stage joint disease, yet the influence of depression and anxiety on postoperative outcomes remains unclear. This study aims to consolidate current evidence on the relationship between preoperative depression and/or anxiety disorders and postoperative outcomes in adult patients undergoing primary THA or TKA. Given the potential for these psychiatric conditions to affect recovery, pain management, and overall satisfaction, the results of this study are crucial to inform targeted perioperative interventions and improve patient-centered care.

This editorial draws an analogy between the literary genre of the 'whodunit' and the complexities of patellofemoral pain (PFP). Traditionally, PFP management has centered on biomechanical factors such as hip muscle weakness, foot pronation, and patellar tracking issues. However, long-term outcomes often remain unsatisfactory, highlighting the need for alternative strategies.

Background: In skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), i-STRONGER is a novel, high-intensity resistance training approach that incorporates progressive resistance training to promote greater improvements in patient function compared to usual care. To inform large-scale expansion of i-STRONGER as standard-of-care in SNFs, this mixed-methods study assessed rehabilitation providers' perceptions of i-STRONGER and purported needs for its adoption.
Methods: Forty-three rehabilitation providers participated in an 18-week, interactive i-STRONGER training program.
