Neuroblastoma survivors' self-reported late effects, quality of life, health-care use, and risk perceptions

Health professionals' experiences of rapport during telehealth encounters in community palliative care: An interpretive description study
CONCLUSION: Based on health professionals experiences of rapport it was determined that rapport is vitally important in telehealth calls, as it is in-person interactions. Rapport is a soft skill that can potentially be learned, practiced and mastery developed, although rapport in each interaction is not guaranteed. Patient and family experiences of rapport in the palliative telehealth area warrants further research and there is some urgency for health professional training in telehealth interpersonal skills.PMID:37129344 | DOI:10.1177/02692163231172243

Health Services in Huntington Disease: A Systematic Literature Review
Purpose of Review
Clinical trials for Huntington disease (HD) have primarily focused on managing chorea and, more recently, the development of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs). Nonetheless, understanding health services among patients with HD is essential for assessing new therapeutics, development of quality metrics, and overall quality of life of patients and families with HD. Health services assess health care utilization patterns, outcomes, and health care–associated costs, which can help shape the development of therapeutics and aid in policies that affect patients with a specific condition. In this systematic...

Creating 'safe spaces': A qualitative study to explore enablers and barriers to culturally safe end-of-life care
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that efforts to support equitable palliative care for Indigenous people should recognise, and support, the existing efforts of health practitioners from these communities. Colleagues from non-Indigenous populations can support this work in a range of ways. Cultural safety must be appropriately resourced and embedded within health systems if aspirations of equitable palliative and end-of-life care are to be realised.PMID:36415017 | DOI:10.1177/02692163221138621
