Objective: It can be difficult to identify specific skills to improve communication, particularly if feedback is generalised or vague. With the aim of providing specific feedback for improved doctor-patient communication, we piloted a modified Conversation Analytic Roleplay Method (CARM) for one-to-one training.
Methods: We recorded one surgical registrar during ward rounds in a hospital. These seven consultations were then analysed and an individualised CARM workshop, utilising the findings and related published evidence, was developed and delivered. One month after this workshop, another nine consultations were recorded and analysed.
Results: There were three "trainables" identified in the initial analysis that formed the basis of the personalised workshop. Analysis of the post-training recordings showed that the verbal behaviours were mostly modified but the non-verbal behaviour generally was not.
Conclusion: By facilitating reflection on and close analysis of his own interaction using CARM, we were able to assist this doctor in modifying some of his communication behaviours.
Practice Implications: Personalised video-based training enables the identification of an individual's practice, allowing for specific feedback and engaging participants with the analysis of their own talk. This makes it potentially an ideal method for helping those struggling to improve with other training methods.

Determining timeframes to death for imminently dying patients: a retrospective cohort study.
BMC Palliat Care
January 2025
Caring Futures Institute, Flinders University, Sturt Rd, Bedford Park, Adelaide, South Australia, 5042, Australia.
Background: Clinicians are frequently asked 'how long' questions at end-of-life by patients and those important to them, yet predicting timeframes to death remains uncertain, even in the last weeks and days of life. Patients and families wish to know so they can ask questions, plan, make decisions, have time to visit and say their goodbyes, and have holistic care needs met. Consequently, this necessitates a more accurate assessment of empirical data to better inform prognostication and reduce uncertainty around time until death.

Method: Two cohorts of individuals with chronic brain injuries and their communication partners were recruited for a 10-week, modified TBIconneCT program delivered by graduate student clinicians via telehealth.
Using Natural Language Processing and Social Media Data to Understand the Lived Experience of People with Fibromyalgia.
Healthcare (Basel)
December 2024
Division of Rheumatology, Mayo Clinic Florida, Jacksonville, FL 32224, USA.
Background And Objectives: Fibromyalgia has many unmet needs relating to treatment, and the delivery of effective and evidence-based healthcare is lacking. We analyzed social media conversations to understand the patients' perspectives on the lived experience of fibromyalgia, factors reported to trigger flares of pain, and the treatments being discussed, identifying barriers and opportunities to improve healthcare delivery.
Methods: A non-interventional retrospective analysis accessed detail-rich conversations about fibromyalgia patients' experiences with 714,000 documents, including a fibromyalgia language tag, which were curated between May 2019 and April 2021.
Prosodic Modifications to Challenging Communicative Environments in Preschoolers.
Lang Speech

Department of Educational Psychology, Leadership, & Counseling, Texas Tech University, USA.
Adapting one's speaking style is particularly crucial as children start interacting with diverse conversational partners in various communication contexts. The study investigated the capacity of preschool children aged 3-5 years ( = 28) to modify their speaking styles in response to background noise, referred to as noise-adapted speech, and when talking to an interlocutor who pretended to have hearing loss, referred to as clear speech. We examined how two modified speaking styles differed across the age range.

J Bone Joint Surg Am
December 2024
Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, Hanover, New Hampshire.
Background: Although total hip and total knee arthroplasty are highly successful operations, the decision of whether and when to undergo surgery is highly subjective and discretionary, and specific guidelines regarding readiness for surgery remain elusive. The nature of these decisions underscores the importance of shared decision-making, which is founded on the concept that patients substantially contribute to determining their own readiness for surgery. The OPTION survey was developed as a conversation aid to facilitate shared decision-making in the context of total joint arthroplasty.
