Abstract As the seas of advanced therapies have swelled in the last few decades, multiple myeloma patients have been empowered, encouraged, and sometimes required, to engage in their care. We applied a conversation analysis approach to 12 nurse-led education visits (1011 minutes of audio) containing reference to educational videos. We indexed extracts based on whether the nurse or patient first mention the video. Patients oriented toward the video to demonstrate knowledge (n=15; 88%) and clarify information (n=2; 12%). Nurses oriented toward the video either through positive (n=14; 39%), negative (n=13= 36%), or neutral (n=9; 25%) assessments. Videos created opportunities for patients to pursue their topics of interest during in-person visits. Also, nurses often oriented toward the videos pre-emptively to achieve their teaching goals either by acknowledging the patients’ exposure to upcoming information or by positively or negatively assessing the videos in ways that enable them to re-orient talk to educational scripts.

Background: Educational video is a productive means to advocate lifestyle modifications such as changes in the dietary routine. This study assesses the understandability, actionability and suitability of newly developed educational videos aimed at encouraging dietary adjustments among hypertension patients. Method: In all, 183 participants were recruited via convenience sampling and rated the understandability, actionability and suitability of the videos using the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Audio-Visual material (PEMAT-A/V) and the Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) scale. Results: Eleven videos were developed from five main topics related to the dietary management of hypertension. Participants agreed that all videos were highly understandable, actionable and suitable for use as educational tools, with scores of more than 85%, 89% and 80%, respectively. Conclusion/Implications: Overall, the newly developed videos gained high scores for understandability, actionability and suitability. This finding reflects positive acceptance of the videos among various healthcare professionals and patients with hypertension.

Although much work has been conducted on studying conversational openings of telephone and ritual expressions, conversational closings and ritual expressions have received less attention by researchers due to the complexity and difficulty of identifying the beginning of closings in telephone conversations. The parts of closing and ritual expressions on telephone have been examined in some languages, but Arabic has not been studied in landline telephone or mobile phone. Therefore, this study seeks to identify the sequences and ritual expressions between Saudi friends and relatives to explore the strategies of closing informal mobile phone calls by using a conversation analysis approach. Thirty audio-recorded and transcribed mobile phone conversations served as the data source for this study. The results found that the majority of mobile phone closing conversations include three parts: pre-closing, leave taking, and terminal exchange that are similar to many languages such as English, Japanese, and German. Also, various expressions were used in pre-closing and leave taking sequences, but the expressions of using prayers were used more frequently in the sequences. Finally, closing conversation is affected by various external and internal social factors in the sequences and the use of ritual expressions.

Vte Prophylaxis

Patients with multiple myeloma are at elevated risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), the second leading cause of death in patients with cancer, but physician adherence to VTE prevention guidelines is low. Several organizations partnered in designing and implementing a 2-year quality improvement (QI) program in a tertiary care/academic cancer center, to increase awareness of VTE prophylaxis for patients with multiple myeloma and thus improve adherence to prophylaxis guidelines and protocols. The QI arm included 2 chart audits, conducted 2 years apart, of unmatched cohorts of 100 patients with multiple myeloma. An Education arm included 2 grand rounds presentations, 3 web-based case discussions, and a patient education module. Twenty providers took part in the continuous QI arm. More than 1100 learners participated in the online cases; the patient education curriculum reached 112 multiple myeloma patients. The initiative proved helpful in defining barriers to guideline adherence and identifying data-driven practice improvement strategies for VTE prophylaxis. It also increased learner awareness of VTE guidelines, patient risk stratification, and optimal thromboprophylaxis strategies. There was a reduction in VTE events (primary clinical outcome) from 10% at baseline to 4% in the follow-up cohort, although this was not statistically significant. Higher rates of guideline-based prophylaxis were observed in low-risk patients, and a lower incidence of VTE was observed in multiple myeloma patients with a prior history of VTE. Additional research is needed to refine prophylaxis guidelines. With appropriate institutional support, this type of QI program can be readily adopted by other organizations to address practice improvement needs.
