Objective

Using repeated measures, we examined third-year medical students' perceptions of communication skills training (CST) during clinical rotations, focusing on dimensions of patient-centered communication most salient in each subspecialty.

Methods

273 third-year students at a large Midwestern medical school completed a four-phase longitudinal mixed-methods survey.

Results

By the end of their third year, students reported more confidence in their communication skills, particularly question asking and answering. They reported the most direct communication with patients and the most communication training satisfaction during emergency medicine, primary care, and family medicine rotations. These evaluations were lowest during general surgery rotations. Fostering healing relationships and exchanging information were considered the most salient dimensions of patient-centered communication, particularly during primary care rotations. Conversely, during surgical rotations, time management and efficiency were heavily reinforced. Unsuccessful interactions with patients were often attributed to incompatible goals, expectancy violations, unpredictable interactions, and time constraints.

Conclusion

Students would benefit from CST related to advanced patient-centered communication skills such as adapting to challenging interactions and remaining patient-centered within clinical time constraints. Future research can use these results to develop communication curricula that is discipline-specific, focuses on multiple dimensions of patient-centered communication, and reinforces the behaviors most salient during students' current or upcoming clinical tasks.

Innovation

This study extends previous work by focusing on student-centered and discipline-specific aspects of CST. Centering the behaviors students consider most relevant is a novel approach to medical education that can increase students' attitudes toward the value of communication skills training, make them more confident, and improve care for their future patients.
目的采用重复测量法,考察医学生在临床轮转期间对沟通技巧训练(CST)的认知,重点关注每个亚专科中最突出的以患者为中心的沟通维度。方法中西部一所大型医学院的273名三年级学生完成了一项四阶段纵向混合方法调查。结果到第三年结束时,学生们对自己的沟通技巧,特别是提问和回答更有信心。他们在急诊医学、初级保健和家庭医学轮转期间与患者直接沟通最多,沟通培训满意度最高。这些评价在普通外科轮转期间最低。培养治疗关系和交换信息被认为是以患者为中心的沟通的最显著方面,特别是在初级保健轮转期间。相反,在手术轮转期间,时间管理和效率得到了大力加强。与患者不成功的互动通常归因于不相容的目标,期望违反,不可预测的互动,和时间限制。结论:学生将受益于以患者为中心的高级沟通技巧,如适应具有挑战性的互动和在临床时间限制内保持以患者为中心。未来的研究可以利用这些结果来开发特定学科的沟通课程,关注以患者为中心的沟通的多个维度,并加强学生在当前或即将到来的临床任务中最突出的行为。创新本研究扩展了以往的工作,重点关注以学生为中心和学科特定的CST方面。以学生认为最相关的行为为中心,是一种新的医学教育方法,可以提高学生对沟通技巧培训价值的态度,使他们更自信,并改善对未来患者的护理。

Objectives

This qualitative study examines the use of metaphors in Spanish-language oncology consultations, highlighting differences between Mexican Spanish and peninsular Spanish and exploring how metaphor use varies between physicians and patients.

Methods

Metaphors are common across languages and offer insight into how people conceptualize illness, treatment, and emotional experience. This study analyzed 50 audio-recorded, real-time oncology consultations—25 from Mexico and 25 from Spain—drawn from a corpus of naturally occurring physician–patient interactions. Using the Metaphor Identification Procedure, we systematically coded cancer-related metaphors, such as referring to treatment as a “path” or medication as something that “fights” the disease.

Results

Patients use slightly more metaphorical expressions than their physicians. Journey metaphors were the most frequently used across all groups. Battle metaphors were the second most common, though their use varied: doctors primarily used metaphors to explain treatment and motivate patients, while patients often used them to express emotional and physical vulnerability. Differences between varieties of Spanish also revealed culturally specific metaphorical language.

Conclusions

Metaphor use is a plain language strategy in oncology. Recognizing how metaphors are used in different Spanish-speaking contexts can enhance culturally and linguistically responsive care. Greater practitioner awareness of metaphorical language can improve patient understanding, reduce confusion, and foster more empathetic, person-centered communication.

Practical value

Incorporating culturally appropriate metaphors—tailored to specific language varieties and patient experiences—can support clearer communication, especially in oncology care. This study provides practical examples that can inform training for healthcare providers working with Spanish-speaking populations in the U.S., particularly those of Mexican origin.

Innovation

This study is innovative in highlighting cultural differences between two Spanish-speaking cultures, showing that while battle and journey metaphors are the most common, patients primarily use them to express pain, struggle, and vulnerability rather than resilience or strength.
目的本定性研究考察了西班牙语肿瘤会诊中隐喻的使用,突出了墨西哥西班牙语和半岛西班牙语之间的差异,并探讨了医生和患者之间隐喻使用的差异。方法隐喻在各种语言中都很常见,它能让我们深入了解人们如何将疾病、治疗和情感体验概念化。本研究分析了50个音频记录,实时肿瘤咨询- 25个来自墨西哥,25个来自西班牙-从自然发生的医患互动语料库中提取。使用隐喻识别程序,我们系统地对癌症相关的隐喻进行编码,例如将治疗称为“路径”或将药物称为“对抗”疾病的东西。结果患者使用的隐喻性表达略多于医生。旅行隐喻在所有群体中使用频率最高。战争隐喻是第二常见的,尽管它们的用途各不相同:医生主要用隐喻来解释治疗和激励病人,而病人经常用它们来表达情感和身体上的脆弱。西班牙语变体之间的差异也揭示了文化上特定的隐喻语言。结论隐喻的使用是肿瘤学中一种通俗易懂的语言策略。认识到隐喻如何在不同的西班牙语语境中使用,可以提高文化和语言上的响应性护理。医生对隐喻语言的更多认识可以提高病人的理解,减少困惑,并培养更多的同理心,以人为本的沟通。实用价值结合文化上合适的隐喻——根据特定的语言种类和病人的经验量身定制——可以支持更清晰的沟通,特别是在肿瘤护理中。这项研究提供了实际的例子,可以为在美国与西班牙语人群,特别是墨西哥裔人群一起工作的医疗保健提供者提供培训。这项研究的创新之处在于突出了两种西班牙语文化之间的文化差异,表明尽管战斗和旅程隐喻是最常见的,但患者主要用它们来表达痛苦、挣扎和脆弱,而不是坚韧或力量。

Objective

Patient education for patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and their loved ones is crucial for improving adherence and reducing complications. HoloVAD is an innovative virtual education tool, which offers a preimplantation experience of life with an LVAD (Holomoves ©, The Netherlands). Our objective is to assess the feasibility, defined as acceptability, usability, and tolerability, of HoloVAD.

Method

A cross-sectional, quantitative feasibility study was conducted among patients with an LVAD, and their loved ones.

Results

In total 45 participants were included. Six out of the seven acceptability domains of the Unified Theory of Acceptance (UTAUT) were scored positively. With an excellent overall SUS-score (82.5) the HoloVAD application is assessed as usable for both groups, and tolerability is scored as positive at every point of the Virtual Reality Sickness Questionnaire (VRSQ), for both groups.

Conclusion

HoloVAD is feasible - defined as being acceptable, usable, and tolerable -and represents a promising and helpful new education tool for the study population.

Innovation

An LVAD is life-changing with high complication risks. HoloVAD is innovative because it integrates visualization and interaction through mixed reality, enabling a deeper understanding of life with an LVAD. This study highlights the feasibility of HoloVAD as a novel educational tool for patients and their loved ones.
目的对使用左心室辅助装置(LVAD)的患者及其亲人进行患者教育对于提高依从性和减少并发症至关重要。HoloVAD是一种创新的虚拟教育工具,它提供了LVAD植入前的生活体验(Holomoves©,荷兰)。我们的目标是评估HoloVAD的可行性,定义为可接受性、可用性和容忍度。方法对LVAD患者及其家属进行横断面定量可行性研究。结果共纳入45名受试者。统一接受理论(UTAUT)的七个可接受域中有六个得分为正。HoloVAD应用程序的总体sus分数(82.5)被评估为两组可用,并且在虚拟现实疾病问卷(VRSQ)的每个点上耐受性都被评为阳性。结论holovad是可行的——定义为可接受的、可用的和可容忍的——代表了一个有前途的和有用的新的教育工具。LVAD是改变生活的高并发症风险。HoloVAD的创新之处在于,它通过混合现实将可视化和互动结合在一起,使人们能够更深入地了解LVAD的生活。这项研究强调了HoloVAD作为一种新的教育工具对患者及其亲人的可行性。

Objective

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly applied in medicine, but their role in peri-operative education is underexplored. This pilot feasibility study compared four LLMs in producing post-operative care instructions for total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods

OpenAI GPT-4o, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, DeepSeek R1, and Gemini 2.0 Flash generated instructions from a standardized prompt. Outputs were scored (0 = does not meet, 1 = partially meets, 2 = fully meets) for accuracy, clarity, relevance, consistency, and readability. Accuracy was benchmarked against ERAS, ASA guidelines, and UpToDate. Readability was assessed using Flesch-Kincaid indices.

Results

Within this limited sample, Claude, GPT-4o, and DeepSeek R1 demonstrated higher observed accuracy than Gemini, with Claude and GPT-4o showing full alignment with reference standards. Clarity scores were comparable across models. All achieved high relevance and internal consistency. Readability varied, with Gemini generating less readable text and GPT-4o and DeepSeek R1 producing more accessible content.

Conclusion

LLMs can generate accurate, relevant, and consistent instructions, supporting their potential use in anesthesia education. Attention to readability and plain-language prompting may further enhance clinical utility.

Innovation

This study provides one of the first anesthesia-specific evaluations of multiple LLMs, showing feasibility and opportunities for AI-driven patient communication.
目的大型语言模型(LLMs)在医学中的应用越来越广泛,但其在围手术期教育中的作用尚未得到充分探讨。这项初步可行性研究比较了四名LLMs在制定全膝关节置换术(TKA)术后护理指南方面的作用。方法openai gpt - 40、Claude 3.7 Sonnet、DeepSeek R1和Gemini 2.0 Flash从标准化提示符生成指令。对输出进行评分(0 =不满足,1 =部分满足,2 =完全满足),包括准确性、清晰度、相关性、一致性和可读性。准确性以ERAS、ASA指南和UpToDate为基准。采用Flesch-Kincaid指数评价可读性。结果在这个有限的样本中,Claude、gpt - 40和DeepSeek R1比Gemini表现出更高的观察精度,Claude和gpt - 40与参考标准完全一致。不同模型的清晰度评分具有可比性。都达到了高度的相关性和内部一致性。可读性各不相同,Gemini生成可读性较差的文本,而gpt - 40和DeepSeek R1生成更易于访问的内容。结论llm能够生成准确、相关、一致的指导,支持其在麻醉教育中的潜在应用。注意可读性和简单的语言提示可以进一步提高临床效用。创新本研究提供了首个针对多个llm的麻醉特定评估之一,显示了人工智能驱动患者沟通的可行性和机会。

Objective(s)

Previous research has explored barriers and facilitators to digital health solutions (DHS) implementation, yet less is known on how DHS should be implemented to maintain patient interaction, and accommodate shifting responsibilities. This study explores health care professionals' (HCP) perspectives on patient-HCP interactions in DHS including video consultations, remote monitoring, and digital care platforms.

Methods

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty-six HCPs. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed by two researchers.

Results

Analysis revealed three overarching themes (the impact of DHS on the relationship, responsibility and anxiety), and ten subthemes. HCPs noted that DHS changed patient-HCP interactions, hindering relationship building. In regard to video consultations, interactional etiquette shifted, with the patient-HCP interaction transitioning towards more informal contact. Remote monitoring and digital care platforms increase patient responsibility, which can hinder communication, particularly when patients access medical results prior to consultations. Most HCPs emphasized that a trusting relationship should be established before introducing DHS to ensure responsible and effective use.

Conclusion and innovation

This study shifts the focus from how DHS can be implemented to how they should be implemented to sustain meaningful patient-HCP interactions. The findings challenge the assumption that DHS can readily replace or supplement traditional care, emphasizing that face-to-face encounters remain essential for patient engagement, relational continuity, and professional fulfilment of HCPs. DHS implementation should therefore follow the establishment of trust and be guided by a tailored, human-centered approach that accounts for individual differences in patients' health status and digital literacy.
先前的研究已经探讨了实施数字健康解决方案(DHS)的障碍和促进因素,但对于如何实施DHS以保持患者互动并适应责任转移,我们知之甚少。本研究探讨了卫生保健专业人员(HCP)对DHS中患者与HCP互动的看法,包括视频咨询、远程监控和数字护理平台。方法对26名医护人员进行半结构化访谈。访谈由两位研究者逐字记录并按主题进行分析。结果分析揭示了三个总体主题(国土安全部对关系、责任和焦虑的影响)和十个副主题。hcp注意到,DHS改变了患者与hcp的互动,阻碍了关系的建立。关于视频咨询,互动礼仪发生了变化,患者与hcp的互动过渡到更非正式的接触。远程监测和数字护理平台增加了患者的责任,这可能会阻碍沟通,特别是当患者在会诊前获得医疗结果时。大多数卫生保健提供者强调,在引入国土安全部之前应建立信任关系,以确保负责任和有效地使用。结论和创新本研究将重点从如何实施DHS转移到如何实施DHS以维持有意义的患者- hcp互动。研究结果挑战了DHS可以轻易取代或补充传统护理的假设,强调面对面的接触对于HCPs的患者参与、关系连续性和专业履行仍然至关重要。因此,国土安全部的实施应遵循信任的建立,并以量身定制的、以人为本的方法为指导,考虑到患者健康状况和数字素养的个体差异。

Objective

To assess the feasibility and acceptability of an avatar-based history taking tool for patients referred for knee or hip osteoarthritis.

Methods

In a single Centre study patients referred for knee or hip osteoarthritis were asked to use an avatar-based history taking tool. The technical basis of this tool was formed by speech recognition (Google Dialogflow), a “rule-based” model and ChatGPT 3.5. To assess feasibility and acceptability patients filled in a modified version of the Artificial-Social-Agent Questionnaire afterwards, with supplemental open questions.

Results

Of the 40 participating patients (median age 67 years, min: 47.3, max 87.5, 26 women), 36 (87.5 %) scored the digital conversation as natural, 33 (82.5 %) found the avatar easy to use, 31 (77.5 %) were open to using the avatar more often in the future, and 26 (65 %) found the conversation captivating.

Conclusion

Avatar-based history taking is feasible and accepted by older patients seeking orthopedic care for knee or hip osteoarthritis.
Innovation:
Avatar-based history taking applications could be offered to patients who are referred for knee or hip osteoarthritis, before they have their face-to-face consultation with an orthopedic surgeon.
目的评估基于avatar的病史采集工具用于膝或髋关节骨关节炎患者的可行性和可接受性。方法在一项单中心研究中,要求膝关节或髋关节骨关节炎患者使用基于avatar的病史采集工具。该工具的技术基础由语音识别(谷歌Dialogflow)、“基于规则”的模型和ChatGPT 3.5组成。为了评估可行性和可接受性,患者随后填写了一份修改版的人工社会-代理问卷,并附有补充的开放性问题。结果在40名参与研究的患者中(中位年龄67岁,最小年龄47.3岁,最大年龄87.5岁,女性26名),36名(87.5%)认为数字对话很自然,33名(82.5%)认为虚拟形象很容易使用,31名(77.5%)表示愿意在未来更频繁地使用虚拟形象,26名(65%)认为对话很吸引人。结论基于avatar的病史采集对于寻求膝关节或髋关节骨关节炎矫形治疗的老年患者是可行且可接受的。创新:在与整形外科医生进行面对面的会诊之前,可以向转诊患有膝关节或髋关节骨关节炎的患者提供基于avatar的历史记录应用程序。

Objective

This research investigated participants' acceptability of clinicians' use of teach-back and plain language.

Methods

A 30-min survey was administered to 162 undergraduates who watched and rated two doctor-patient interactions explaining multiple sclerosis and diabetes.
Interactions included jargon only, jargon+teach-back, plain language only, and plain language+teach-back.

Results

The results indicated a significant preference for plain language over jargon in both multiple sclerosis [F(1, 157) = 57.73, p < . 001, hp2 = 0.27] and diabetes [F(1, 157) = 63.42, p < .001, hp2 = 0.29]. Teach-back was favored over no teach-back for multiple sclerosis [F(1, 157) = 8.99, p < .01, hp2 = 0.05] but not for diabetes [F(1, 157) = 1.05, n.s.]. Participants reported being more familiar with the diabetes diagnosis.

Conclusion

Clinicians should avoid excessive jargon and actively engage patients by employing teach-back questions, especially when discussing unfamiliar information.

Innovation

This study advances clinician-patient communication by examining the acceptability of teach-back rather than its effectiveness, addressing a key gap in understanding when such strategies are likely to be adopted in practice. Findings challenge assumptions that teach-back inherently ensures comprehension, emphasizing the necessity of plain-language delivery and offering a replicable framework for evaluating patient acceptability in real-world contexts.
目的探讨被试对临床医生使用教学反馈和平实语言的接受程度。方法对162名大学生进行了一项30分钟的调查,他们观看并评价了两种解释多发性硬化症和糖尿病的医患互动。互动方式包括仅使用术语、术语+反馈、仅使用简单语言和简单语言+反馈。结果两种多发性硬化症患者对简单语言的偏好明显高于行话[F(1,157) = 57.73, p <]。001年,hp2 = 0.27)和糖尿病(F (157) = 63.42, p & lt;措施,hp2 = 0.29)。反教对多发性硬化症的疗效优于不反教[F(1,157) = 8.99, p < 0.01, hp2 = 0.05],但对糖尿病的疗效优于不反教[F(1,157) = 1.05, n.s.]。参与者报告说他们对糖尿病的诊断更加熟悉。结论临床医生应避免过多的术语,并通过反问的方式积极吸引患者,特别是在讨论不熟悉的信息时。创新本研究通过考察反馈教学的可接受性而非有效性来推进医患沟通,解决了在理解此类策略何时可能在实践中被采用的关键差距。研究结果挑战了反教本质上确保理解的假设,强调了简单语言传递的必要性,并提供了一个可复制的框架来评估患者在现实环境中的可接受性。

Objectives

Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) is a disabling condition, for which physiotherapy is a common treatment. Therapeutic virtual reality (VR) is an emerging treatment modality in physiotherapy care for patients with CMP. Treatment expectations of patients regarding therapeutic VR influence its effectiveness and could possibly be enhanced by the therapist by using positive language about therapeutic VR. The aim of the current studies was to explore the effect of physiotherapists explaining VR using positive versus neutral language, on treatment expectations of healthy participants (study 1) and patients with CMP (study 2).

Methods

Two web-based, double-blinded RCTs were conducted with two groups (healthy participants and patients with CMP), that were randomly allocated to a video explaining therapeutic VR using positive language or neutral language. The primary outcome measures were treatment credibility and expectancy, assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Between-group differences and within-group changes were respectively analyzed using simple linear regression analyses and repeated measures ANOVAs. All analyses were performed separately for healthy participants and patients with CMP.

Results

In total, 127 healthy participants (study 1) and 115 patients with CMP (study 2) were included and randomized. We found no between-group difference in treatment expectations between positive versus neutral language videos, neither in healthy participants nor patients with CMP. We found significant within-group changes for treatment expectations in both conditions (positive and neutral language) in healthy participants, and in the positive language condition only in the CMP group.

Conclusions

The studies show that any explanation of therapeutic VR (both using positive or neutral language) seems to improve treatment expectations. Unexpectedly, using positive language was not superior to using neutral language. Future research should examine strategies for healthcare providers to set optimal treatment expectations on therapeutic VR in patients with CMP.

Practice implications

A brief verbal explanation about therapeutic VR improves treatment expectations in both healthy participants and patients with CMP.
目的慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛(CMP)是一种致残性疾病,物理治疗是常见的治疗方法。治疗性虚拟现实(VR)是CMP患者物理治疗护理中的一种新兴治疗方式。患者对治疗性虚拟现实的治疗期望影响其有效性,治疗师可以通过使用关于治疗性虚拟现实的积极语言来提高其有效性。当前研究的目的是探讨物理治疗师使用积极和中性语言解释VR对健康参与者(研究1)和CMP患者(研究2)的治疗预期的影响。方法对两组(健康参与者和CMP患者)进行两项基于网络的双盲随机对照试验,随机分配使用积极语言或中性语言解释治疗性VR的视频。主要结局指标是治疗可信度和预期,在基线和干预后进行评估。分别采用简单线性回归分析和重复测量方差分析分析组间差异和组内变化。所有的分析分别对健康参与者和CMP患者进行。结果共纳入127名健康受试者(研究1)和115名CMP患者(研究2)。我们发现,在健康参与者和CMP患者中,积极和中性语言视频的治疗预期在组间没有差异。我们发现健康参与者在两种情况下(积极语言和中性语言)的治疗期望在组内都有显著的变化,而在积极语言条件下,只有在CMP组。研究表明,任何对治疗性VR的解释(使用积极或中性的语言)似乎都能提高治疗预期。出乎意料的是,使用积极语言并不比使用中性语言优越。未来的研究应检查医疗保健提供者的策略,以设定CMP患者治疗性VR的最佳治疗期望。对治疗性虚拟现实的简短口头解释提高了健康参与者和CMP患者的治疗期望。

Objective

This study aims to develop and evaluate an Immersive Learning (IL) to enhance healthcare communication skills training.

Methods

The IL consisted of a digital tool using a branching scenario model for six clinical themes with feedback provided to students at each critical point. A pre-post-trial design was conducted comparing the IL program against traditional role-playing exercises at Brussels University. Third year physiotherapy students were randomly assigned to an experimental IL group or a control group. Outcomes measures included students' self-perceived communication skills, satisfaction with the IL as well as its usability. Statistical analyses included Wilcoxon tests for skill progression.

Results

The IL group showed significantly improved self-perceived communication skills compared to the control group (p ≤0.001). Students considered IL program to be highly usable (satisfaction = 82) and strongly recommended its use (NP score = 63.83).

Conclusion

The IL program enhanced students' self-perceived communication skills, offering a supportive, engaging, and safe learning environment. IL is a valuable complement to traditional methods in healthcare education.

Innovation

This study introduces an innovative IL tool that provides personalized, interactive, and scenario-based learning, fostering autonomy and skill development in a low-pressure environment.
