Preferences, Adherence, and Satisfaction: Three Years of Treatment Experiences of People with Multiple Sclerosis.
To reduce the risk of long-term disability in people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS), an increasing number of disease-modifying immune therapies (DMT) are available, involving diverse mechanisms of action, levels of efficacy, treatment risks, and tolerability aspects. Including patient preferences and expectations in shared decision-making may improve treatment satisfaction, adherence, and persistence. ⋯ This study provides insight into the interaction of DMT preferences of pwMS with their actual treatment experience. Treatment decisions should be aligned with long-term expectations of pwMS to promote continuous adherence.

The Impact of Patient Adherence to Dual Antiplatelet Medication Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention on the Occurrence of Adverse Cardiovascular Events.
The objective of this study is to examine the impact of medication adherence on the timing of non-cardiovascular serious events (NCDS) onset in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). ⋯ Secondary preventive measures, including education, impact the success of endovascular interventions in both the early hospital phase and the long term. Patient education can serve as a supplementary intervention to enhance DAPT adherence, thus diminishing the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events and mortality post endovascular intervention.

Patient Perceptions of Medical Students' Involvement in Clinical Classes: A Cross-Sectional Survey.
A crucial aspect of the education of prospective medical professionals is their interaction with patients. The study aimed to explore patients' perspectives on the interaction between medical students and themselves. It sought to understand how patients perceive this dynamic within clinical classes. The goal was to gather insights into the most favorable behavior and demeanor of medical students during these sessions, with the overarching objective of enhancing patient comfort. ⋯ The study found that generally, patients voluntarily engage in educational classes with students. The relationship between patients and students is amicable, and the majority of students display a respectful demeanor toward patients. Nonetheless, preserving patient confidentiality and ensuring the proper management of classes remain persistent issues. This is particularly crucial, especially when the clinical classes pertain to intimate and personal health matters of a patient. Upholding and enriching the organization of such sessions, along with the attentiveness and knowledge of medical students regarding patient comfort, assumes heightened significance.

Medication-Free Treatment in Mental Health Care How Does It Differ from Traditional Treatment?
Norwegian authorities have implemented treatment units devoted to medication-free mental health treatment nationwide to improve people's freedom of choice. This article examines how medication-free treatment differs from treatment as usual across central dimensions. ⋯ The findings provide insights into how a medication-free treatment service might work and demonstrate its worth as a viable alternative for people who are not comfortable with the current medication focus of mental health care. Patients react differently to increased demands and clinicians should be reflexive of the dimensions of individualism-relationism in medication-free treatment services. This knowledge can be used to further develop and improve both medication-free treatment and standard treatment regarding shared decision-making.
