Communication matters: The role of autonomy-supportive communication by health care providers and parents in adolescents with type 1 diabetes KU Leuven
AIMS: Although research exists on parental communication in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the role of communication by health care providers remains understudied. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, this study examined the role of autonomy-supportive communication (i.e., providing meaningful rationale and offering choices with regard to treatment recommendations) by providers and parents, and how they interact in the prediction of ...
“Now, let’s assess communication skills!” – How to integrate assessment into your communication skills curriculum KU Leuven
Rationale: Communication skills training has become increasingly integrated into the education of health care professionals (e.g. physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, pharmacists, etc.). In addition to teaching communication skills, there are important reasons to assess the extent to which students and vocational trainees have acquired these skills. Research evidence supports the need to integrate assessment longitudinally within the whole ...
Brand Communication of Higher Education Institutions: a Call for Multichannel Communication Analysis in Higher Education Branding Research KU Leuven
Research on branding is an established sub-discipline in the higher education literature. However, studies in this field have somehow produced contradictory results: some studies point at isomorphism, others find differentiation. Our study wants to offer a possible explanation for this paradox, by proposing a more nuanced view on brand communication. Based on a multiple case study of three Flemish universities, our results mainly point at ...
HIV/AIDS communication inequalities and associated cognitive and affective outcomes: a call for a socioecological approach to AIDS communication in sub-Saharan Africa KU Leuven
Three-and-a-half decades on, no cure or vaccine is yet on the horizon for HIV, making effective behavior change communication (BCC) the key preventive strategy. Despite considerable success, HIV/AIDS BCC efforts have long been criticized for their primary focus on the individual-level field of influence, drawing on the more reductionist view of causation at the individual level. In view of this, we conducted a series of studies that employed a ...
Flemish high school students' everyday use of communication technologies for schoolwork-related communication Universiteit Antwerpen
By combining network data from a third grade in a Flemish high school (1415-year olds, N = 147) with interview data obtained from eighteen of the pupils, more insight is provided into high school students' everyday use of communication technologies (CT) for school-related communication. The study departs from an affordances of technology perspective, taking both technological characteristics of CT and social context factors into account for ...
The Empathic Communication Analytical Framework (ECAF): A multimodal perspective on emotional communication in interpreter-mediated consultations KU Leuven
Empathic communication (EC) in healthcare occurs when patients express empathic opportunities, such as emotions, to which doctors respond empathically. This interactional process during which participants try to achieve specific communicative goals (e.g., seeking and displaying empathy) serves as a context in which doctors and patients perform verbal and nonverbal actions and collaboratively co-construct meaning. ...
A wireless powering and communication system for implantable devices based on a Royer oscillator with radio and near-field communication links KU Leuven
