Background: Discussing weight remains a sensitive and often avoided topic in healthcare, despite rising prevalence of obesity calls for earlier, more compassionate interventions. Many healthcare professionals report inadequate training low confidence to discuss weight, while patients describe feeling stigmatized or dismissed. Digital simulation offers promising route build communication skills through supporting repeatable reflective practice safe space. VITAL-COMS (Virtual Training...
Rate of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantations is increasing in patients with advanced heart failure. Despite clear guideline recommendations, discussions addressing deactivation occur infrequently.The aim this article to explore patient and professional factors that impact perceived likelihood confidence healthcare professionals discuss ICD deactivation.Between 2015 2016, an international sample 262 (65% nursing, 24% medical) completed online factorial survey,...
This study aimed to explore the issues that influence dietary choices made by patients attending a secondary prevention clinic following myocardial infarction.Secondary clinics play an important role in promoting advice, yet evidence suggests many individuals are neither implementing nor maintaining lifestyle changes recommended. Research largely focuses on compliance general, and only small number of quantitative studies address surrounding adherence advice.Phenomenology was selected as...
Background/aims People with intellectual disability experience higher rates of multi-morbidity and health inequalities, they are frequently prescribed medications more likely to have an avoidable or premature death. There is a recognised lack randomised controlled trials, subsequently evidence base, for many the interventions treatments provided people disabilities. Very few disability-specific trials conducted, intellectual, other cognitive, disabilities routinely excluded from mainstream...
Globally, conducting randomised controlled trials can be a complex endeavour. The complexity increases when including participants with cognitive or intellectual disabilities. A fuller understanding of the barriers and challenges that expected in such may help researchers to make their more inclusive for people disabilities.Semi-structured interviews were conducted twelve international trial experts.Eight themes emerged relating linked to: 1) participant co-morbidities, 2) ability levels, 3)...
Overweight and obesity is a global health problem the related challenges are complex difficult to address. Healthcare professionals working across different settings have opportunities engage in weight-related discussions, but often there perceived barriers communication. Training this area provides healthcare with little opportunity for skills-based communication practice because training mostly limited medical impacts of overweight obesity.

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> There has been a call to improve training for healthcare professionals (HCPs) on communicating about overweight and obesity at least ten years. Progress made recognizing the impact of weight stigma in pharmacotherapeutics, but challenges remain standardizing quality HCP–patient discussions. In other chronic conditions, emphasizing patient-centered communication helped patient support, such as diabetes care. However, few weight-related studies exist address...
