Objective: To explore how professionals deal with informing their patients and how they experience the process per se, in order to deepen understanding of the issues involved and to identify areas of focus for improvement.
Methods: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 hospital professionals at Lausanne University Hospital, Switzerland.
Results: Information includes feedback, practical information, patient condition, treatment/process of care, and educational material. Information-delivery is a process that involves informing the patient then checking patient reception of the information. The main expected outcome is patient action. Providers can feel trapped, guilty, inadequate, powerless, disenchanted when the process fails to achieve its expected purpose.
Conclusions: Informing and checking strategies are not implemented optimally, and providers could benefit from guidance in order to decrease discomfort and become more proficient at delivering information.
Innovation: Addressing the information-delivery process per se provides us with a novel insight into the complexity of the process and contributes to identifying essential ingredients of future innovative training programs for providers at large.

Background: Access to clear and comprehensible health information is crucial for patient empowerment, leading to improved self-care, adherence to treatment plans, and overall health outcomes. Traditional methods of information delivery, such as written documents and oral communication, often result in poor memorization and comprehension. Recent innovations, such as animation videos, have shown promise in enhancing patient understanding, but comprehensive investigations into their effectiveness across various health care settings are lacking.

This research explores patients' perspectives on the decision-making process for long-term antipsychotic treatment. Twenty individuals on non-compulsory antipsychotic medications were interviewed, and their responses were analyzed using grounded theory. The analysis revealed three interconnected themes that suggest a cyclical process potentially eroding patient autonomy: According to participants' accounts, they often received limited information about dependence, withdrawal symptoms, or expected treatment duration before starting medication.

Trauma teams handle severely injured patients under high temporal demands and need to coordinate and achieve collaborative decision-making and task execution through communication. Specific coordination and communication behaviours are taught in simulation training to enhance team performance. An examination of the role and nature of communication could increase the understanding of educational possibilities and assess the validity of in situ simulation on behalf of communication.
