Patient perceived participation in decision making on their antipsychotic treatment: Evidence of validity and reliability of the COMRADE scale in a sample of schizophrenia spectrum disorders
Shared decision making (SDM) has been described as a collaborative process between patients and physicians [1 –3]. SDM is situated in an intermediary point between a paternalistic model based on the illness, in which the physician carries out all of the decision making based on his clinical experience and the exploratory data, and a patient-focused model of greater autonomy, in which patients actively par ticipate in their own care [4,5].

Co-design for implementing patient participation in hospital services: A discussion paper
Patient participation is increasingly recognized as a key component in healthcare. Patients ’ experiences and knowledge are considered as complementary and equal in importance to professionals’ knowledge [1], both in individual care contexts and in healthcare organization [2,3]. Direct patient participation methods have been proven to lead to patient-centeredness and better care [4], b ut developing and implementing such methods is often a complex matter [5,6]. The use of the co-design methodology could offer a solution for designing and implementing these complex interventions. (Source: Patient Education and Counseling)

Creating a synergy effect: A cluster randomized controlled trial testing the effect of a tailored multimedia intervention on patient outcomes
Non-adherence rates over 40% have been reported within chronic patients [1 –4] which may lead to an increase in health care costs, the probability of relapse of disease activity and reduced quality of life [5–8]. As a consequence, many adherence interventions have been developed. However, effective interventions are scarce. This may be due to interventions being applie d to patients for whom these are not suited: interventions are often aimed at one particular adherence barrier, regardless of the barriers patients perceive.

Patient feedback questionnaires to enhance consultation skills of healthcare professionals: A systematic review
Good consultation skills (CSs) are essential for effective patient encounters and it has been shown to drive positive outcomes including enhancing patient adherence and satisfaction [1 –6]. An emphasis was given by the British Medical Association (BMA) and the General Medical Council (GMC) indicating the importance for the quality of the physician’s professional work to be assessed at regular intervals, by patients and colleagues [7], thus supporting their continuous professio nal development [8,9].

Validation of the health literacy scale for diabetes as a criterion-referenced test with standard setting procedures
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases affecting quality of life. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is approximately 8.8%, with 387 million patients worldwide [1]. In Korea, more than 13.7% of adults have been diagnosed with diabetes [2]. Although diabetes is the fifth-leading cause of death in Korea [3] and its complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, the proportion of controlled diabetes has been reported to be 23.3% (HbA1C   (Source: Patient Education and Counseling)

The effects of infographics and several quantitative versus qualitative formats for cardiovascular disease risk, including heart age, on people ’s risk understanding
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk calculators have become common in preventive care [1], but end-users are known to have difficulties in interpreting the results. One problem is that since the results are usually communicated via absolute risk percentages, people have difficulty deriving meaning from such numbers [2,3]. Many studies have concentrated on how to convey risk numbers, e.g. through visual icon arrays and bar graphs. Although such representations do help [4,5], difficulties remain, especially for low-literate people who have trouble interpreting bar graphs [6]. (Source: Patient Education and Counseling)
