“… 9 The National Health Service (NHS) information for patients undergoing ECT consists of a science-based leaflet from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), 1 despite research suggesting that healthcare education may be better received alongside contextual and emotive evidence. 9 , 10 Gold Coast Health in Australia implemented these principles, focusing on adding contextual evidence for the benefits of ECT, 11 but there is no empirical evidence as to whether this approach improved perceptions of ECT.…”

Aims and method Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) often causes fear in the general public because of media representation and negative reported side-effects. This study evaluates a new video focusing on experiences of ECT and how this can aid communicating medical information to the public. Knowledge and attitudes toward ECT after watching the video were compared with a group that received no information and a group that read the current NHS leaflet on ECT. The role of empathy was also considered as a covariate. Results The video was the only condition found to positively affect knowledge and attitudes toward ECT. The video was especially beneficial to those that possessed low perspective-taking trait empathy. Clinical implications These findings demonstrate the video improved knowledge and attitudes toward ECT compared with current material or no information. We suggest that the addition of personal experiences to public information adds perspective, improving overall attitudes toward health treatments.

“…69 This is particularly successful if young people are involved in the design process. 70 The transfer of information is also affected by a myriad of other factors such as the language spoken. Doctors may also play a role in reducing the negative consequences of language barriers by using the best available source of interpretation.…”

Medication errors cause substantial harm to patients, and considerable cost to healthcare systems. Evidence suggests that communication plays a crucial role in the generation, management and prevention of such incidents. This review identifies how paediatric medication errors can be managed, and in particular focuses on the pathway of steps that can operationalise the current research findings. Furthermore, the current data suggesting how communication can help to prevent errors occurring in the first place is examined. From this data, it is apparent that there are three domains in which communication could play an important preventative role: first, patient doctor communication, and second interprofessional communication and finally researcher/professional dialogue. This review is an attempt to identify the importance of communication in paediatric mediation safety and to allow practical application of these findings.

“…Concluíram que o tom dos folhetos pouco interfere nas mudanças de atitude acerca de fatores de risco e superexposição solar e autoexame da pele. Neste ponto, como afirmam Jones et al (2000), os profissionais não raramente reservam uma visão estereotipada de seus pacientes em relação à forma mais atrativa de veicular seus conteúdos. Analisando folhetos direcionados a adolescentes portadores de asma, concluem que médicos e seus pacientes freqüentemente discordavam ao selecionar formatos e conteúdos sobre a doença.…”

Realizou-se revisão da literatura sobre publicações que descrevem experiências com material impresso distribuído ao público leigo em instituições hospitalares. Excluindo impressos para profissionais ou portadores de incapacidades, dentre 146 trabalhos, foram obtidos 75 artigos que ilustram o padrão atual de racionalidade da produção, uso e avaliação deste tipo de recurso. Esses artigos investem no poder da "informação impressa ideal" para alinhar comportamentos à agenda biomédica hospitalar. A racionalidade instrumental que os permeia percebe o "pacote informativo perfeito" como aquele que explicita eficientemente seus conteúdos técnicos, para fins de convencimento unilateral, atualizado segundo escalas de legibilidade, adornado por projeto gráfico e enfatizando prioridades definidas pelos profissionais. Tais "próteses de comunicação" seriam passíveis de validação eletrônica, por intermédio de softwares competentes em adequar "doses" e conteúdos. Discute-se a informação como fármaco, o cognitivismo, a ausência de pesquisas de recepção e a necessidade da ação comunicativa, para desconstrução de tais sistemas de pensamento fechados no ambiente hospitalar.
