    Patient Educ Couns. 2026 Sep 30; 154:110310. [Online ahead of print]Le Quéré D, Verroul M, … Brulport APE
  • CONCLUSIONS: The study highlighted the central role of communication and analysed, at different levels, the factors underlying relational issues that affect patient care and quality of life. Several factors should be addressed to improve shared decision-making in the management of endometriosis, which may inform the development of a shared decision-making tool in the near future.

  • Practices for initiating a conversation about fear of cancer recurrence after cancer treatment: A conversation analytic study of gynae-oncology outpatient consultations. [Journal Article]

  • CONCLUSIONS: FCR was not regularly discussed in this collection of recordings, reflecting previous reports of clinical practice. Nonetheless, direct observation and detailed analysis of real-word consultations where FCR was discussed identified two simple strategies that clinicians can use to initiate these conversations. First, universal claims can shift the conversation to FCR specifically and frame this talk as routine. Second, general claims normalise FCR and invite patients to share their experiences. Future research could investigate use of these practices across multiple clinicians and patient groups and examine the impact of FCR conversations for patients and families.

  • Prostate cancer screening: Evidence uncertainty and implications for patient education and counseling. [Journal Article]
    Patient Educ Couns. 2026 Sep 26; 154:109876. [Online ahead of print]Takahashi TPE
  • CONCLUSIONS: Patient education and counseling regarding prostate cancer screening should be grounded in a rigorous appraisal of the available evidence. Consistent with evidence-based medicine and reporting standards such as CONSORT and PRISMA, uncertainty regarding screening benefits should be communicated transparently before testing. This communication of uncertainty is an essential component of informed consent and can also provide the basis for meaningful shared decision-making. Informed patient preferences and expert opinion should be considered in the context of the available evidence and its uncertainty.

  • "More than eliciting goals: Provider competencies that enable patients to experience goal-oriented care, a dyadic qualitative study". [Journal Article]
    Patient Educ Couns. 2026 Sep 22; 154:110311. [Online ahead of print]Haverals R, De Geeter Y, … Boeckxstaens PPE
  • CONCLUSIONS: Patients' experiences of GOC depended on how relational, communicative, and reasoning competencies were combined to align care with what mattered to them. Training initiatives should therefore address how providers integrate listening, contextual reasoning, shared planning, and information-giving in practice. An additional key insight was the importance of providers' ability to coordinate and pace care by being transparent about professional boundaries and tolerating uncertainty, particularly in complex situations.

  • Preference and participation in a randomized controlled trial of self-management support. [Journal Article]
    Patient Educ Couns. 2026 Sep 24; 154:110314. [Online ahead of print]Benthien KS, Nielsen CP, … Toft UPE
  • CONCLUSIONS: Recruitment to self-management support involves a selection process, where inequities arise primarily during initial contact attempts where older adults and socially vulnerable groups were less likely to be reached. After successful contact, patients with greater healthcare needs were more likely to participate.

  • Feasibility and acceptability of a tailored support program for informal stroke carers. [Journal Article]
    Patient Educ Couns. 2026 Sep 23; 154:110316. [Online ahead of print]Jammal M, Kolt GS, … George ESPE
  • CONCLUSIONS: Findings demonstrate that the carer support program was feasible and acceptable to carers and occupational therapists. Carers valued access to a physical copy of a tailored resource in combination with structured support. Further testing through a fully powered trial is required to determine the efficacy of the intervention on carer outcomes.
