“…This structure coincides with the variables considered in the scientific literature on emotional communication. These variables are: Communicative Proactivity, characterised by a positive attitude towards initiating and maintaining communication; Openness and Authenticity, understood as showing oneself to others spontaneously and without deception; Listening, as pointed out by different authors, to ensure affective and emotional communication [6,20,21,23,[31][32][33][34][35].…”

“…Several authors also point out that factors of interpersonal communication can be considered part of emotional communication. These components refer to the expression of one's own emotions, active or empathic listening, non-verbal communication, empathy, authenticity, warmth, and willingness to listen and communicate [6,20,21,23,24,[31][32][33][34][35].…”

“…Another emotional component of communication is authenticity, which has been studied in the field of health. Several authors note that this concept is ambiguous in research; however, most definitions state that authenticity in communication, specifically doctor-patient communication, involves "...the quality or condition of the information, or that the people (communicating) are relevant, real or genuine..." [34] (p. 111). Of the four dimensions, these authors consider regarding professional authenticity in health or education, there is one that refers to communication, which they call authentic relationship.…”

Psychometric Properties of an Emotional Communication Questionnaire for Education and Healthcare Professionals

Educational and healthcare professionals need to develop emotional communication with schoolchildren and patients, respectively. This study aims to analyse the psychometric properties of an instrument that evaluates emotional communication among these professionals. A total of 406 professionals and students of education and health sciences took part in the study. They were administered a questionnaire using a Google Form that collected different elements of emotional communication. An exploratory factor analysis was carried out from which three factors were extracted: Communicative Proactivity, Openness and Authenticity, and Listening. These were supported by confirmatory factor analysis. The internal consistency of the scale is also adequate, ranging from 0.69 to 0.82. This instrument is valid, and, in a self-reported, straightforward and time-efficient manner, can assess the emotional communication of professionals and students of education and health sciences.

A reformed approach to health care tackles health at its roots. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in those exposed to them may contribute significantly to the root causes of many diseases of lifestyle. ACEs are traumatic experiences, such as physical and emotional abuse and exposure to risky family environments. In 1998, a ground-breaking study found that nearly 70% of Americans experience at least 1 ACE in their lifetime, and graded exposure is associated with the presence of mental health disorders, heart disease, cancer, and other chronic diseases. Over the past 20 years, evidence has demonstrated further disease risk, outcomes, and epigenetic underpinnings in children and adults with ACEs. Building resilience—the capacity to adapt in healthy ways to traumatic experiences—through lifestyle modification offers potential to combat the negative health effects associated with ACEs. Emerging research demonstrates resilience is cultivated through individual skills (emotional intelligence, coping, and fostering healthy lifestyle choices), and nurturing supportive relationships. Being mindful of the impact and prevalence of ACEs and diversity of individuals’ experiences in society will help build resilience and combat the root cause of chronic disease. This review aims to cultivate that awareness and will discuss 3 objectives: to discuss the effects and hypothesized pathophysiological underpinnings of traumatic experiences in childhood on health and wellbeing throughout life, to present ways we can promote resilience in our daily lives and patient encounters, and to demonstrate how advocacy for the reduction of ACEs and promotion of resilient, trauma-informed environments are fundamental to health care reform.

“…Few studies have described exactly how families are involved in the given intervention, and there seems to be great variation in the intensity of family focus and involvement across studies (Lowry et al 2007). The concrete effort of involving the family is often neglected and genuine involvement therefore rarely takes place (Hoeeg et al 2020a(Hoeeg et al , 2020b. However, it is well-established that parent involvement is vital to both achieving and maintaining weight loss (Eg et al 2017).…”

‘I Think It Will Be Like This Forever’: How Family Narratives Affect Participation in a Childhood Weight Management Intervention

The family represents the cause of as well as the solution to childhood overweight in many family-based childhood weight management interventions. Involving the family also entails involving the individual family members’ experiences with, attitudes towards, and understandings of obesity. This study explores how families with life-long experiences of overweight manage and experience a family-based childhood weight management intervention in Northern Zealand in Denmark. The analysis is focused on family narratives and their temporal character. The families’ narratives about overweight and past weight management interventions are crucial to how they understand and manage the present intervention. Additionally, the families expect the focus on weight management to continue to be a constant part of their everyday life. The paper concludes that the understanding of weight management in interventions should take its point of departure in the life-world, which the individual family creates through members’ narratives about overweight.
