Mashup Score: 5Visualisation of evidence for shared decision making - 3 month(s) ago
Consistent with the principles of evidence-based medicine, effectively communicating evidence (including risks) in medicine is an essential part of shared decision making (SDM). SDM has been defined as ‘an approach where clinicians and patients share the best available evidence when faced with the task of making decisions, and where patients are supported to consider options, to achieve informed preferences’.1 This process relies on access and understanding of evidence-based information by both patients and healthcare professionals. This includes outcome probabilities, typically presented numerically. Yet, a considerable fraction of the population is confronted with limited numeracy. Numeracy is defined as the ability to understand, use and interpret numbers and calculations in everyday situations.2 This difficulty processing numbers is a significant barrier to effective communication in healthcare and SDM. Many studies demonstrate the potential of visuals to facilitate the presentatio

Mashup Score: 0Developing evidence-based patient-focused learning materials to support health behaviour change for people living with psoriatic arthritis - 8 month(s) ago
Objectives In psoriatic arthritis (PsA), self-management is important for patient function and quality of life. Behaviour change can be difficult, patients could benefit from high-quality support to initiate change. Our aim was to codesign the project as theory-informed, evidence-based, patient-focused, materials supporting healthy lifestyle changes for patients diagnosed with PsA. Methods Development of the materials was overseen by a steering group of patients with PsA, psychologists, rheumatologists, a design team and researchers. First, a literature review was performed to establish the evidence base for behaviours and potential interventions in PsA, including diet, weight, alcohol, smoking, exercise, anxiety, depression and stress. An initial roundtable of patients with PsA prioritised areas and content ideas. Draft materials including a website and downloadable materials were produced. A second roundtable of patients with PsA collected feedback on the draft content and design. A
