Successful communication can help to prevent health problems,
promote healthy behaviors and lifestyles, and overcome health
challenges. However, various issues have created obstacles for the
promotion of health communication, including low health literacy,
the reluctance of patients to admit their lack of understanding,
the overestimation by health professionals of a patient's level of
understanding, and insufficient health literacy tools, to name a
few. It is thus essential to convey the latest communication models
and practices being used to increase health literacy and provide
adequate health information to society. Health Communication Models
and Practices in Interpersonal and Media Contexts: Emerging
Research and Opportunities explores and analyzes the fundamentals,
models, and dimensions of health communication and offers practical
solutions for better communications with direct outcomes in the
optimization of citizens' health literacy. The book also discusses
and proposes more effective health communication models and
practices as a tool for the construction of more solid and evident
health outcomes. Covering topics such as cancer prevention, health
professionals' communication, and models of health communication,
this text is essential for health professionals, communication
professionals, professors, teachers, researchers, academicians, and
students.
Health literacy in practice requires the development of techniques
that ensure that the patient can better access information,
understand its content, know how to use this information, and make
better health decisions. If the patient makes better health
decisions, there are immediate reflexes in health outcomes. The aim
is to develop an approach based on the commitment and creation of
an atmosphere of trust that reduces uncertainty, anxiety, and
embarrassment based on a process of assertive, clear, and positive
communication (ACP model). The Handbook of Research on
Assertiveness, Clarity, and Positivity in Health Literacy brings
the consolidation of knowledge, strategies, and techniques to
improve health literacy. This book discusses the importance of
making sound health decisions: decisions that can save lives,
prevent premature deaths, avoid hospitalizations and abusive
resources to medical emergencies, and improve overall health
outcomes for the individual, family, community, and society.
Covering topics such as dietary guidance, health behavior change
models, and medication reconciliation, this resource has
theoretical and practical aspects essential to health information
libraries, hospitals, clinics, health centers, health schools,
patient associations, health professionals, medical students,
researchers, professors, and academicians.
Active Learning for Digital Transformation in Healthcare Education,
Training and Research discusses the potential of advanced training
of health professionals as a contributing factor to improve
treatment outcomes. By reading this book, professionals who deal
with patients with low health literacy will be prepared to promote
better access to digital tools, understand the habits of users of
health services, and empower engagement. The book contains a set of
techniques and instruments associated with health literacy,
communication skills and personal development that will enable
their application in good daily practices and assist healthcare
professionals to promote digital transformation to patients. This
is a valuable resource for researchers, graduate students and
healthcare professionals who are interested in learning more about
how they can be an effective agent of change in healthcare.
The new challenges in healthcare education require new
methodological approaches and transparent integration of technology
enhanced learning approaches. Technology-Enhanced Healthcare
Education promotes the best practices and lessons learnt from
COVID-19 and highlights the importance and impact of using
information systems to increase levels of health literacy. The
chapter authors cover processes such as augmented or virtual
reality to allow for distraction and decreased anxiety of the
patient and services such as telemedicine and tele-consultation in
the follow-up of non-acute patients. These are just a few ways in
which health professionals can utilise information systems and
transformative technology to increase the quality of health care,
levels of health literacy and, thus, increase the health outcomes
of their patients. Technology-Enhanced Healthcare Education is an
innovative volume for health specialists, educators, higher
education medical experts, medical school students and health
management professionals. It is key reading for those looking to
learn more about the latest developments on active and
transformative learning within health education and medical
technology (MedTech).
