The COVID-19 pandemic showed how in times of public health crises, people seek out data. Because of this emerging broad interest in public health data, the accessibility and usability of data visualizations and data communication products are critical to reaching not only public health professionals but others, too. At the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, we've worked to make public health data comprehensible and actionable through an approach that features user-centered design, and incorporates health literacy principles. Key strategies include conducting research with users to understand their needs, ensuring usability in web-based products, and designing data visualization products to be easily understood by both experts and general audience. Explanatory data products, which highlight key insights, play a crucial role in making data accessible. As public health crises continue to demand clear and transparent information sharing, we advocate for a sustained commitment to user-centered design in public health data communication, ensuring that data is not only available but also truly accessible and useful to the public.","PeriodicalId":38052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communication in Healthcare","volume":" ","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143732071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cultivating a credible professional image through proficient communication skills is essential for promoting patient compliance and achieving positive treatment outcomes. Language proficiency influences a physician's sense of self and ability to provide quality healthcare. This study aimed to explore the practices used by physicians trained in their country of birth to develop a trustworthy professional identity in a second language.Method: The data included transcripts from video-recorded consultations (n = 40, total duration t∼22.5 h) conducted in Norwegian outpatient clinics (n = 6). These consultations involved interactions between Polish physicians (n = 8) and Norwegian patients. Using observational and qualitative analyses, the study focused on identifying recurrent phenomena in the physicians' utterances. To contextualize the findings, qualitative analysis was conducted with the Corpus of Doctor-Patient Conversations from Akershus University Hospital (Ahus). Additionally, insights were obtained from audio-recorded interviews with two participating physicians and two other Polish physicians practicing in France. The data sets complemented each other to demonstrate the generalizability of key communication aspects that physicians should consider when using second-language skills with patients and colleagues.Results and conclusions: Foreign physicians employ various practices to address the diverse and intricate aspects of medical conversations. Establishing a professional stance involves steering the consultation, highlighting one's expertise and humor, and incorporating explanations from the native language. Effective communication is achieved through the substitution of medical terminology with everyday words as well as the use of figurative language, paraphrasing, and repetition.","PeriodicalId":38052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communication in Healthcare","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143721759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Communication between clinicians and patients is a key element of health care. However, barriers to communication with transgender people in the health care context are usual. They typically include a lack of willingness among health staff to care for trans patients, an adherence to cisnormativity and misgendering by clinicians, and the existence of a displeasing climate during the interaction. Miscommunication generates a series of adverse consequences, including the avoidance of health care by patients and the social marginalization of transgender people. The implementation of novel health policies and organizational restructuring are important steps to create a safe environment for the trans population within health systems. Modification of administrative procedures as well as training and advice for health practitioners are also necessary to facilitate communication with trans people and improve health outcomes among this underprivileged population. The establishment of a society with equal rights among its members and a life without discriminations is the ultimate goal.","PeriodicalId":38052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communication in Healthcare","volume":" ","pages":"10-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142156185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current systems for navigating healthcare - such as finding providers or understanding costs - are fragmented and cumbersome, often leaving patients frustrated and uninformed. An AI Healthcare Assistant App, leveraging advances in health IT interoperability, price transparency, and user-centred design, could simplify these processes. By integrating medical records, provider directories, cost data, and user preferences, the app could deliver tailored recommendations, schedule appointments, and even suggest alternatives based on patient feedback. However, widespread adoption of such tools faces challenges, particularly around data privacy and inclusivity. Effective communication strategies - emphasizing transparency, data ownership, and cultural tailoring - are crucial to building trust. Equitable design principles, such as low-literacy interfaces and device compatibility, ensure broader access. While the AI Healthcare Assistant App remains hypothetical, recent technological advances make it much more possible and its potential to revolutionize patient empowerment and healthcare communication is undeniable.","PeriodicalId":38052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communication in Healthcare","volume":" ","pages":"6-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143012647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data consisted of 14 interviews with hospital management and operational staff on their experiences of implementing and using Easy Language in patient communication.Results: According to the hospital personnel, the experiences of Easy Language use were mainly positive. The staff felt that patient instructions in Easy Language improved communication with customers. They were proud that the values of the hospital's strategy, especially customer orientation, were realized in practical work. However, operational-level personnel also reported certain challenges, especially regarding the adequacy of resources and training.Conclusions: Considering its modest financial investment, we conclude that the Easy Language project had a positive impact. The hospital staff were satisfied and perceived that health communication in the hospital had improved. Their positive reputation due to their use of Easy Language brought added value to their work. Further studies are needed to measure the direct customer experience and financial effects of using Easy Language.","PeriodicalId":38052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communication in Healthcare","volume":" ","pages":"47-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142773285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes a theoretical model that integrates individual-oriented, social-oriented, and community-oriented factors to predict individuals' engagement in preventive behaviors and citizen health emergency communication (CHEC). Perceived shared responsibility, which results from the communal nature of the pandemic, is tested as a mediator in the relationships between different motivations and behaviors in the context of COVID-19.Method: To test the model, an online survey with a quota sample of 1,301 adults reflecting the composition of the U.S. population was conducted via Qualtrics.Results: Results show that perceived severity, self-efficacy, worry, and social support significantly increase the perception of shared responsibility, subsequently increasing individuals' adherence to preventive behaviors and their engagement in CHEC. In this process, shared responsibility serves as a mediator between some tested relationships between motivators and two types of behaviors (i.e. communication and prevention).Conclusions: During a public health emergency, individuals' preventive behaviors and communication behaviors are determined by the individual-oriented (e.g. perceived severity), social-oriented (e.g. social support), and community-oriented (e.g. perception of shared responsibility) factors. In this mechanism, the perception of shared responsibility explains how some motivators influence individuals' communication and prevention behaviors.","PeriodicalId":38052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communication in Healthcare","volume":" ","pages":"55-64"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142787213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of this research was to learn the associations among these phenomena and, particularly, how these variables may impact our understanding of vaccine attitudes.Methods: In the summer of 2020, a total of 336 (Mage = 53.55; SDage = 18.58) participants answered an online Qualtrics survey about their 'dread risk' perceptions of vaccines, their information source beliefs (e.g. credible, easy-to-access, etc.), trust in information sources, and vaccine attitudes.Results: Results suggest participants had generally low levels of negative vaccine attitudes (M = 3.27; SD = 1.40). Regression analyses to predict negative vaccine attitudes found 'dread risk' perceptions to be the most significant predictor (beta = .61, p < .001), over and above information source beliefs and trust in information sources (F (9, 320) = 75.07, p < .001; adjusted R2 = .67). Age was also significantly and negatively correlated with 'dread risk' (r = -.22, p < .001).Conclusions: Results suggest that vaccine communication efforts should continue to identify individuals' 'dread risk' perceptions about vaccines and emphasize this content in messaging. Future research should aim to understand more about the relationships between negative vaccine attitudes, 'dread risk' perceptions, information source beliefs, and trust in information sources to better predict vaccine-related decisions, (in)actions, and to support effective vaccine communication.","PeriodicalId":38052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communication in Healthcare","volume":" ","pages":"39-46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142056804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
