“…Both studies delve deeper into factors that predispose patients to overt psychological impacts of VTE, specifically highlighting the influence of provider communication techniques on the level of psychological distress, such as the use of alarmist language and misplaced metaphors. Thoughtfully adjusting the content and delivery of information at VTE diagnosis can have lasting effects on patient satisfaction 12,54,55 …”

“…Thoughtfully adjusting the content and delivery of information at VTE diagnosis can have lasting effects on patient satisfaction. 12,54,55 Educational programs typically focus on anticoagulation management; however, our study results suggest that this should be expanded to recognize VTE as a disease with many impacts. [56][57][58] Education and patient support are integral at all time points across a patient's VTE journey.…”

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a prevalent disease with high morbidity and mortality. VTE has well-documented physical sequelae; however, the psychological and emotional impacts are seldom evaluated in randomized controlled trials. Objective:We conducted a scoping review of published qualitative studies aiming to understand the physical, psychological, and emotional impact of VTE as reflected from patients' perspectives. This scoping review is part of a larger initiative to develop a core outcome set for VTE treatment studies.Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted to identify qualitative studies assessing patient experience of VTE. Two authors independently screened titles and abstracts using Covidence systematic review software. Full-text reviews were conducted independently by 2 study team members. A modified method of "thematic synthesis" was used to collate themes upon reading and rereading of the publications. Results:Our search strategy returned a total of 4944 citations; 28 were ultimately included in the analysis. The studies were conducted across 13 countries and representative of 436 participants including a spectrum of VTE subpopulations. There were seven major themes identified: Acute impacts: an unforeseen blow, Sustained psychological distress, Loss of self: life is changed, Challenges of thrombosis management, Balancing coping and control, Negative experience with the medical system, and VTE in the context of other conditions. Conclusions:The physical, psychological, and emotional impacts of VTE extend beyond objective outcomes typically evaluated in clinical trials. An improved understanding of the outcomes most important to patients will improve patient-centered care in VTE.

“…Physicians may contribute to postthrombotic psychological suffering, but they also can, and should, work to recognize and attenuate these manifestations, taking a range of actions, such as: ensuring early assessment by a specialist; actively listening to patients; dealing with their concerns; and providing information in hard copy and online about the disease and guidance about support groups, trustworthy websites, and specific keywords for searching the internet; in addition to employing educational resources, such as anatomic models, for example. 7 …”

“…Os médicos podem contribuir para o sofrimento psicológico pós-trombose, mas podem e devem atuar no sentido de reconhecer e atenuar essas manifestações através de várias ações, como: a avaliação precoce por um médico especialista, a escuta ativa do paciente, a abordagem de suas preocupações, o fornecimento de informações impressas e on-line sobre a doença e a orientação sobre grupos de apoio, sites confiáveis e palavras chaves específicas para pesquisa na internet, além de uso de recursos didáticos como modelos anatômicos, por exemplo 7 .…”

“…6 Physicians may contribute to postthrombotic psychological suffering, but they also can, and should, work to recognize and attenuate these manifestations, taking a range of actions, such as: ensuring early assessment by a specialist; actively listening to patients; dealing with their concerns; and providing information in hard copy and online about the disease and guidance about support groups, trustworthy websites, and specific keywords for searching the internet; in addition to employing educational resources, such as anatomic models, for example. 7 The psychosocial impact of VTE can be highly traumatic, changing the patient's life. Therefore, there is a real need to produce guidelines based on evidence specific to the management of these emotional sequelae and to implement programs for continuing medical education on the subject.…”
