Mashup Score: 2Nephrology Social Workers’ Opinions on the Use of Acceptable Humor in Conversations with Advanced Illness Patients: A National Survey - 17 hour(s) ago
In our everyday lives, no matter what field we are in, humor is ever present and no less true than working with patients in a palliative care program (Dean & Gregory, 2004). The use of humor with our patients should be selective, being mindful that some patients may not feel comfortable with its use. If used correctly, humor can be a “valuable resource” (Linge-Dahl et al, 2018, p. 2) for both health care providers and for the patients being served. Our definition of acceptable humor is a smile, a laugh or a joke. Nephrology and kidney transplant social workers frequently encounter patients with advanced illness in the end stage kidney disease (ESKD) setting. They have conversations with them and assess for depression, anxiety, pain, and suicidality. Death is all too frequent with this ESKD population, and this can contribute to burnout. In multiple studies on palliative care, the use of humor allows providers, patients, and caregivers to be connected, provide them hope, decrease th

Mashup Score: 2
To determine CKD knowledge and its association with health literacy, we conducted a cross-sectional study on patients in an urban nephrology clinic. Patients completed a survey assessing their CKD knowledge, health literacy, physician-patient communication, and patient activation. Data was analyzed using logistic regression. Of 161 participants, 27% had adequate CKD knowledge and 19% had adequate health literacy. CKD knowledge was not associated with health literacy or demographic characteristics. Only patient activation and physician communication were associated with CKD knowledge (OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.53-0.97, low v high patient activation; OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.01–1.56, excellent communication v not ). Health literacy and CKD knowledge were low, though not associated. Our study highlights intervention targets to increase patients’ CKD knowledge.

🧠📉 #CKD knowledge and health literacy are both low - this study found what does make a difference is how engaged patients feel and how well they communicate. Let’s rethink how we connect with our patients! Learn More: https://t.co/1eUPZ3pO6E #HealthLiteracy #Nephrology https://t.co/hYAo5qZxLD
