Techniques of Therapeutic Communication II: Focusing, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

7.8K
Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

336
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

1.8K
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

Therapeutic Communication

4.5K
Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...

Current Trends in Nursing II

1.2K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Summary

A behavioral intervention increased serious illness conversations (SICs) in cancer patients, reducing end-of-life spending by over $13,000 per patient. This approach lowered costs for systemic therapy and outpatient care, demonstrating a significant financial benefit.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Health Economics
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Serious illness conversations (SICs) can improve cancer patient outcomes and reduce aggressive end-of-life care.
  • Behavioral economics interventions may increase SICs, but their effect on end-of-life spending is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a behavioral intervention on end-of-life spending in high-risk cancer patients.
  • To determine if a machine learning-based intervention to increase clinician-initiated SICs affects healthcare costs.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary analysis of a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial with 1187 high-risk cancer patients.
  • Intervention group received a behavioral intervention to increase SICs; control group received standard care.
  • Spending data (acute care, outpatient, therapy, long-term care, hospice) analyzed using two-part models for the last 180 days of life.

Main Results:

  • The intervention group had lower mean daily end-of-life spending (-$75.33), resulting in $13,747 savings per decedent.
  • Savings were driven by reduced spending on systemic therapy (-$44.59) and outpatient care (-$9.62).
  • No significant differences in spending on acute care, long-term care, or hospice were observed.

Conclusions:

  • A machine learning-based, behaviorally informed intervention effectively increased SICs and generated significant end-of-life cost savings in cancer patients.
  • The savings were primarily attributed to decreased systemic therapy and outpatient care utilization.
  • This intervention offers a promising strategy for improving care quality and reducing healthcare expenditures.
