The effect of diabetes self-management education on psychological status and blood glucose in newly diagnosed patients with diabetes type 2
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a worldwide epidemic, and its prevalence is growing, creating a global healthcare burden. It is linked to increased risk of severe cardiovascular complications, morbidity and mortality which can be reduced by optimal glycemic control [1]. According to the International Diabetes Federation, in 2015 it was estimated that there were 415 million people with diabetes aged 20 –79 years, and this figure was predicted to rise to 642 million by 2040 [2]. To effectively manage individuals with diabetes, appropriate education, lifestyle modification, medication treatment and blood glucose monitori...

Self-management education for rehabilitation inpatients: A cluster-randomized controlled trial
Patient education conveyed by disease-specific self-management programs are targeting disease-related knowledge, self-management skills and health behavior to reduce the impact of disease and foster health-related quality of life [1,2]. Self-management requires a dynamic and continuous process of self-regulation performed by the individual deemed responsible for his/her health management [1,3]. Self-management patient education comprises a number of behavior change approaches, such as providing information, encouragement, and skill training enabling patients to take an active role in their treatment [2].

“The more you know, the more you realise it is really challenging to do”: Tensions and uncertainties in person-centred support for people with long-term conditions
As the prevalence of long-term conditions rises and pressure on public health care budgets increases, policy leaders internationally promote support for self-management to improve health and the sustainability of health services [1 –3]. Such support is often presented, or advocated for, as person-centred [4–6]. (Source: Patient Education and Counseling)

Positive emotions —An interesting topic in clinical communication research
In the present issue of PEC, we publish a paper on the expressions of positive emotions in audio-recorded conversations between nurses, cancer hospice patients and caregivers during home visits [1]. All interactions were coded both using Roter ’s Interaction Analysis System [2] and a novel coding procedure for Positive Emotion Codes, with the acronym PEC (!). The researchers found that positive emotions were quite common in these conversations, most often in terms of humor, and most frequently expressed by nurses [1].

Nudging in screening: Literature review and ethical guidance
The purpose of screening is to improve individual as well as population health. Screening aims to detect and treat diseases in their early stages in order to reduce morbidity and increase survival. Screening is thus introduced in most health care systems for a wide range of conditions. One example of a screening program which is considered to be of great benefit is newborn screening, as the detection and subsequent treatment of conditions such as Phenylketonuria (PKU) make a tremendous difference to the affected child ’s life.

Findings from a feasibility study to improve GP elicitation of patient concerns in UK general practice consultations
Previous research has shown that 40% of patients present in primary care consultations with more than one concern [1] and, when free to voice concerns are likely to initiate 2 –3 per visit [2–4]. However, whilst patients may attend with multiple concerns, questions from the GP such as “How can I help you today?” tend to elicit just a single concern [4,5]. This can leave patients with unvoiced concerns [6], which can be a problem for both patients and their health care provider. Research shows how unvoiced concerns can be associated with worsening symptoms, increased patient anxiety, the need for additional visits a...
