Thinking outside the black box: The importance of context in understanding the impact of a preoperative education nursing intervention among Chinese cardiac patients
Conclusion: In health care systems where service users are given relatively little information, interventions designed to inform patients about their treatment are likely to have a much greater impact on their psychological health.Practice implications: Providers of services for patients undergoing cardiac surgery in China should be encouraged to incorporate information giving into routine practice, tailored according to individual need.

Children Address Unequal Access to Education During Pandemic
By Rebeca Rios-KohnDUBAI, Nov 18 2021 (IPS) In the whirl of effort nations are making to combat COVID-19, the powerful role that children and young people can play in overcoming the harmful effects of school closures is too easily overlooked. Children are making a difference on their own within their families, schools, and communities, while also joining forces with adults in countless compelling ways. Their efforts offer us all much hope and inspiration. But we need to do so much more to ensure they can all get back to school, and safely. At EXPO 2020 DUBAI, now underway after a postponement, the spotlight is on the gra...

Assessing task importance and anxiety in medical school: an instrument development and initial validation study.
Authors: Phillips HL, Dong T, Durning SJ, Artino AR Abstract Recent research in medical education suggests that students' motivational beliefs, such as their beliefs about the importance of a task, and their emotions are meaningful predictors of learning and performance. The primary purpose of this study was to develop a self-report measure of "task importance" and "anxiety" in relation to several medical education competencies and to collect validity evidence for the new measures. The secondary purpose was to evaluate differences in these measures by year of medical school. Exploratory factor analysis of scores fr...

The Association With Physical Fitness and Academic Performance at America's Military Medical School.
CONCLUSIONS: Our investigation suggests that there may be correlations between physical fitness and clinical exam performance such as USMLE Step 2 CK and average core clerkship NBME exams. Although there is no statistically significant change in individual fitness total points or BMI, the study suggests that physical fitness and BMI may decline during medical school. This may be as a result of increasing academic demands while balancing clinical duties from clerkship rotations. PMID: 32909600 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A cross-sectional study on anxiety due to COVID-19 and its predictors among undergraduate medical students in a tertiary care teaching hospital of Kolkata, West Bengal

It is recommended that targeted psychological and clinical interventions need to be taken to alleviate students' anxiety due to COVID.

The Long Wait For Medical Excellence Quality Of Care
In October 1997 the book Demanding Medical Excellence: Doctors and Accountability in the Information Age provided a pathbreaking examination of the quality of American health care. It documented rampant medical error and the absence of evidence-based practice, highlighted the potential of electronic health records (EHRs), endorsed what is now known as value purchasing, and showed how patients could exert more control over their care. Although the book suggested that transformational change was imminent, sixteen years later little has changed in some areas (medical error), while in others (evidence-based medicine and p...

The Expanded Four Habits Model–A Teachable Consultation Model for Encounters with Patients in Emotional Distress
Most patients with mental health problems or with significant emotional and other psychosocial concerns are treated by their general practitioners (GP) or secondary care clinicians without referral to psychiatry [3]. Whereas severe mental disorders should be treated by mental health specialists, many mental health problems in a wide sense, ranging from emotional distress and worries associated with health concerns to depression and anxiety disorders, may be handled outside of psychiatry [3,4]. Despite high prevalence of these problems in general practice, clinicians often lack sufficient training in mental health-related treatment.

Increasing physical activity in patients with mental illness—A randomized controlled trial
In 2010, more than one-third (38.2%) of all residents of the European Union suffered from a clinically significant mental disorder [1]. The most common disorders named were anxiety disorders, unipolar depression, insomnia, and somatoform disorders. People with severe mental disorders often suffer from chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or other chronic conditions [2]. Reasons for these conditions, among genetics and medication, are seen in higher prevalence of smoking, poor diet, and lower levels of physical activity compared to the general population [3–5].

Relationship between physicians ’ death anxiety and medical communication and decision-making: A systematic review
Care for patients at the end of life has been characterized as one of the most difficult parts of medical practice [1,2]. An important reason may be confrontation with the finiteness of life. Mortality cues (i.e. experiences or events that make death salient) may remind physicians of their own mortality and the vulnerability of the human body [3,4]. Examples of such cues include breaking bad news, or taking care of a dying patient [5]; such confrontations could induce a fear of death [6]. Death anxiety encompasses fear for the end of one ’s existence, fear of the dying process, fear of the unknown after death, and/or fea...

Effects of patient education and therapeutic suggestions on cataract surgery patients: A randomized controlled clinical trial
Conclusion: Findings indicate that preoperative information combined with positive suggestions and anxiety management techniques might reduce patient anxiety in the perioperative period of cataract surgery, but further research is needed to investigate the benefits of such interventions and to uncover the underlying mechanisms.Practice implications: Patient education interventions providing additional anxiety management techniques are recommended for use prior to cataract surgery.

The influence of patient-centered communication during radiotherapy education sessions on post-consultation patient outcomes
Conclusion: Patient-centered communication is an important predictor of patient outcomes in radiotherapy and obviates some negative aspects of radiation therapists’ experience on patient trust. As in other studies, there is a weak association between self-reported and observational coding of PCC.Practice implications: Radiation therapists have both technical and supportive roles to play in patient care, and may benefit from training in their supportive role.

Pregnancy as protest in interwar British women's writing: an antecedent alternative to Aldous Huxley's Brave New World
This article explores three earlier works—Charlotte Haldane's Man's World (1926), Vera Brittain's Halcyon, or the Future of Monogamy (1929), and Naomi Mitchison's Comments on Birth Control (1930)—in which pregnancy, instead of figuring as illness or debility, becomes a form of resistance to the status quo. These works engage with biomedicine, however, rather than abjuring it. Through a reading of these works, this article argues that the intersection of medical humanities and science fiction (SF) can enrich both: medical humanities can push SF to go beyond the canon, and SF can challenge any characterisation of...
