Children with medical complexity often have substantial medical needs and their caregivers must make many challenging care decisions. Over time, caregivers tend to become more involved in decisions, but until now it has been unclear what skills they develop that facilitate this engagement. #SKResearch led by Dr. Kate Nelson in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management finds that parents of children with medical complexity change how they approach decision-making as they learn more about the health-care system and their child’s condition(s). This also results in strong relationships with providers and a greater sense of agency and confidence. Nelson hopes that knowing the specific skills parents develop to support their family and child with medical complexities may inform future interventions to support skill-building and empower new caregivers.

Let that hug be in the form of empathy, trust and exemplary patient care. Our patients are already aware of the fact that they ‘might be making a big deal over nothing’, and ‘it’s just a needle’. They don’t need additional criticism piled on them. Grace, understanding and a show of support goes a long way. In those moments…. choose wisdom, a new way of clinical practice and evidence based care. Shame has no space in healing. It has no place in our profession. It has no place in medical culture. Let us break down the conspiracy of silence around shame and foster the antidotes. Foster compassion. Foster empathy. If you are ready to learn more and contribute to a global societal movement that benefits both patients and clinical staff members then all you have to do is…….

During the discovery call "Karrie" provided a gross explanation of her family member's medical issues. After I set the care plan based on her goals, there were areas in which she needed clarification. She didn't initially tell me this, but she brought it to my attention after a few days of work. I was thankful for her feedback. When uncertainty arises, or comprehension falters, speak up. As advocates, our experience often gives us insights into what might lie ahead, the knowledge we may not possess. However, it's crucial to recognize that our understanding may not encompass your unique perspective. We appreciate open dialogue to bridge this gap, ensuring informed decisions and optimal outcomes. A patient advocate can help keep you on track to ensure you get all the necessary information. #MedicalDebt#patientadvocacy#AdvocacySavesLives#HealthPriorities#PatientAdvocacy#ChronicDisease#Stroke#TBI#Cardiovasculardisease#Dementia#Stress#Cancer#MedicalCare#InsuranceTreatmentQuestions#HealthcareCommunication#MedicalAdvice#AdvocateForYourself#MoveMoreLiveMore #ChronicDisease#CardioHealth#InformedDecisions#HealthcareAdvocacy#HealthCareEmpowerment#EmpowerYourHealth#SelfCare#ChronicDisease#Stroke#Cancer#Autoimmunedisease#MedicalNavigation #PatientAdvocate #HealthcareJourney Advocation empowers patients with knowledge and informed decisions.

The study’s authors recorded 39 conversations between doctors and caregivers to patients who were undergoing prolonged mechanical ventilation in intensive care units between 2012 and 2017. They coded transcriptions of the conversations across 17 categories such as caregiver health literacy, physician empathy (defined as “statements by the medical team that acknowledge caregivers’ emotions”); power differentials (defined as “deferral to expertise or position; dismissal or condescension); and missed opportunities for empathic responses (defined as “instances where the medical team failed to respond to the caregiver’s emotional statements.”) https://lnkd.in/ervQeQXu
