“…After information, the majority of patients reported that they understood the connection between stress, general tension, jaw symptoms and pain. In a systematic review, 26 it was concluded that patients with chronic illness need information to enable good self-care management both at the time for diagnosis and from then onwards. In the present study, the responders perceived the written and verbal information given as structured, good and useful.…”

Background The most common non‐dental pain in the orofacial region is pain associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and jaw exercises are a common treatment in these cases. Since masticatory myofascial pain has components of an affective and cognitive nature, knowledge about the patients’ experiences of the condition and treatment is important. Objective The aim was to study the patients’ experiences of jaw exercises in the treatment of masticatory myofascial pain. Methods A questionnaire, containing 24 statements that should be answered according to a five‐item verbal Likert scale, was sent to 150 consecutive patients with masticatory myofascial pain according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD after they had been treated with jaw exercises for 3‐12 months. Results The response rate was 73% (n = 109), and 79% of the responders were women. 71% of the patients reported that it was easier to remember the jaw exercises if they put them in conjunction with an already established routine. Before examination, 49% of the patients suspected serious disease behind their symptoms, but these concerns were greatly relieved by the information provided. As a result, 78% reported that information about the underlying cause of their symptoms made them more involved in the treatment. Finally, 72% of the respondents reported that the jaw exercises were effective in reducing their symptoms. Conclusions Information about the cause of the symptoms and the treatment is important to reassure and make the patient involved in the treatment. Most patients report that jaw exercises are an effective treatment and they appreciated to have tools to tackle the problems themselves if the symptoms should return.

“…Similar to this scenario, nephrologists have also reported that inadequate time is a barrier to facilitating discussions with their patients. 35 Solutions to address this challenge are required from a health system perspective because having adequate time with health professionals helps to facilitate more effective education, 36 self-management 37 and trust. 38 In the current study, renal dietitians emphasised that it was equally important for patients to gain knowledge about what to do and why, as well as to be empowered about how to self-manage their renal diets.…”

Qualitative exploration of the experiences of renal dietitians and how they help patients with end stage kidney disease to understand the renal diet

The experience of providing renal diet advice to adults with end stage kidney disease was emotionally and professionally challenging. Alternative approaches to patient education may help dietitians to empower patients to better understand the renal diet. Further research exploring the experiences of learning about the renal diet from the patient and carer perspective would also help to inform future alternative approaches.

“…Patients define collaborative care as listening and learning from each other, sharing ideas, agreeing on measurable goals and support with goal achievements [18,34]. These are behaviours that have been commonly identified as important for delivering patientcentred care [35,36]. In addition, patients who perceive more positive relationships with providers, generally report higher levels of self-care and have higher confidence in their ability to follow recommendations [37].…”

The term ‘diabetes distress’ first entered the psychosocial research vernacular in 1995, and refers to ‘the negative emotional or affective experience resulting from the challenge of living with the demands of diabetes’. At first the proponents of the concept were hesitant in advocating that diabetes distress was a major barrier to individuals’ self‐care and management of diabetes. Since then, a burgeoning body of evidence, now including several systematic reviews of intervention studies, suggests that diabetes distress, in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, across ages and in all countries and cultures where it has been studied, is common and can be a barrier to optimal emotional well‐being, self‐care and management of diabetes. As a consequence, monitoring diabetes distress as part of routine clinical care is part of many national guidelines. The present narrative review summarizes this research and related literature, to postulate the aetiology of diabetes distress, and thus how it may be prevented. The current evidence base for the management of diabetes distress is summarized, and the next steps in the prevention and management of diabetes distress identified.
