The information concretization and information abstraction hypotheses present contradictory risk communication models, which makes it difficult to determine clinical references for healthcare provider - healthcare receiver risk communication. We proposed and demonstrated a hypothesis of matching healthcare provider - healthcare receiver roles with concrete - abstract risk information. The processing accuracy of concrete (e.g. frequency) and abstract risk information (e.g. probability) was compared between healthcare providers and healthcare receivers. The results showed that healthcare providers tended to estimate abstract risk information more accurately than concrete risk information, whereas healthcare receivers tended to estimate concrete risk information more accurately than abstract risk information. This tendency was observed for textual (Study 1), graphical (Study 2), and role-playing (Study 3) risk communication. The processing fluency mediated the interaction of role and risk representation in risk estimation accuracy (Study 3). These findings provide new insights into the theoretical disputes regarding healthcare provider - receiver risk communication and effective communication strategies.","PeriodicalId":12889,"journal":{"name":"Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143491615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the full impact of stigmatized language use (like \"obese\") in patient-provider interactions remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted an online experiment (N = 501) in the US to examine the effects of stigmatized language use in conversations with healthcare providers, including on patients' perceptions of themselves as well as their healthcare experience. Results show that stigmatized conversation about weight initiated by healthcare providers results in higher weight self-stigma among patients, failing to increase their desire to lose weight (likely a goal of providers via these interactions). Additionally, patients exposed to stigmatized conversation experience decreased patient-centered communication, lower trust in healthcare providers, decreased quality of healthcare, and decreased satisfaction with their healthcare providers. Furthermore, this study found some support for the moderating effect of narrative transportation and perceived body size on some of the outcomes. Hence, in healthcare practice, our results suggest that healthcare providers should reduce their use of stigmatized language when discussing weight with their patients as a way to improve weight self-stigma among patients as well as patient-centered communication and related outcomes.","PeriodicalId":12889,"journal":{"name":"Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143491631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Infertility-related stigma impairs women's mental well-being, strains their family relationships, and deters them from seeking treatment. In this article, we seek to understand the perceived/self-stigma of infertility and stigma management through in-depth interviews with 29 women (White, African American, and Hispanic) who were facing fertility challenges. Taking an intersectional approach, we focused on how these women's experience of infertility and their stigma coping were shaped by certain gendered, racial, and cultural ideologies deeply entrenched in contemporary U.S. society. Our findings uncovered shared stigmas and coping mechanisms as well as distinct variations that are specific to White, African American, and Hispanic women. The firsthand accounts from our participants revealed the distressing reality of marginalization and silencing of minority women's voices within their families, communities, and society at large. Furthermore, our study underscored how social interactions among women can foster competition, entrenching and bolstering hierarchical stigma power dynamics. This study contributes to the health disparity research by highlighting how women are stratified into different categories based on social class, ethnicity/race, and age. Such classifications ultimately result in differential access to health resources, perpetuating existing social inequality and division.","PeriodicalId":12889,"journal":{"name":"Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143482818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the lack of adequate discussions in offline settings, online spaces allow stigmatized groups to connect, support, and share health information. This study examines how lesbians discuss STIs on Reddit through an analysis guided by the theoretical perspective of the health belief model. A total of 394 posts/comments containing STI-related keywords were observed across six subreddits: r/AskLesbians, r/actuallesbians, r/ActuallyLesbian, r/LesbianActually, r/latebloomerlesbians, and r/lesbian. Results show that users express low perceived susceptibility of STIs and suggest that protection is only necessary when penial intercourse is involved. Despite the belief that protection is effective at preventing STIs, dental dams are not often used due to their inconvenience and testing is an adequate replacement. Perceived barriers to engage in safer sexual practices further complicate users' sexual health decisions. We identify cases where the subreddits serve as cues for action as users actively encouraged others to use protection and get tested. Theoretical and practical implications and directions for future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":12889,"journal":{"name":"Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143448652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We specifically home in on a context developed for the BVI; that is, the Taha Hussein for the Visually Impaired library (THL), a wing of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA) located in Alexandria, Egypt. The BA mission is twofold: to be a center that disseminates knowledge and to be a place of dialogue. Understanding the THL as an institution created through communication practice within a local Islamic culture, we interpret those BVI discursive practices through a cripistemological framework and offer our findings as an arts-based ethnographic communication study. Crip theory rejects comparisons to the able-bodied and seeks to comprehend disability through its agentic possibilities. We present these possibilities via three textual art forms that promote BVI sensorial acuities as exemplars of wellbeing. These exemplars are expressed as passages of opacity. The three passages of opacity include opacities of the contextualized individual, opacities of collective joy, and opacities of polyvalent modalities. These aesthetically cued, evocatively presented opacities demonstrate how BVI positionality and local Islamic context overlap to inspire BVI wellbeing that could arguably be practiced by all.","PeriodicalId":12889,"journal":{"name":"Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143440676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, relatively little attention has been given to variations in metaphor usage when people talk about a particular disease, and what functions these metaphors may have in different communication contexts. The aim of this paper is to study the effects of metaphors in the communication of Dry Eye Syndrome (DES), which has developed into a prevalent eye disease. A systematic metaphor analysis was applied to 15 extensive blog entries and 308 survey responses which reflect people's first-hand experiences on having dry eyes. The results showed that communication about DES is highly metaphorical and that metaphors vary in terms of underlying concepts (i.e., journey, war) and in their level of creativity in different communication contexts. When patients talk about treatments and experiences with doctors and about quality of life, conventional metaphors are overrepresented and patients often use metaphors related to a journey. When they talk about symptoms, creative metaphors are overrepresented and patients often refer to eyes/vision as objects. Paying attention to these variations provides deeper insights into how people experience and deal with DES. In a follow-up study, we asked DES patients (n = 66) which metaphors they consider particularly appropriate to describe their experience with DES. We found that personification and war-related metaphors got the highest appropriateness-ratings. Concluding, we discuss how the attention to metaphors might contribute to a more effective communication of DES in different communication contexts.","PeriodicalId":12889,"journal":{"name":"Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143440662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this study presents a more nuanced and even contrasting narrative. Grounded in Minority Stress Theory and utilizing secondary survey data from the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 6), the study uncovers three key findings. First, gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals experience greater health disparities than heterosexuals, reporting notably lower levels of patient-centered communication and subjective well-being (both hedonic and eudaimonic) while higher levels of sense of social isolation. Second, patient-centered communication has the potential to either enhance or worsen both hedonic and eudaimonic well-being by alleviating or exacerbating perceived social isolation. Third, this mediation mechanism is not exclusive to gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals but applies to heterosexuals as well. Given that patient-centered communication can both mitigate and exacerbate patients' feelings of social isolation and that sense of social isolation remains a pervasive concern across populations (minority groups in particular), this study underscores the critical need for developing culturally competent healthcare environments for all (minority groups), extending beyond sexual orientation.","PeriodicalId":12889,"journal":{"name":"Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143440660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized that Black emerging adult women with a lower ethnic identity affirmation who rarely discuss safe sex practices with past sexual partners would report lower intentions to use condoms in the future when stress levels from being silenced and marginalized are higher. Participants, 135 Black emerging adult women who have sex with men and live in the United States, completed the survey online.
