The ultimate guide to dissemination and implementation research for public health, medicine, and the social sciences In the past twenty years, dissemination and implementation (D&I) research has sought to narrow the gap between the discovery of new knowledge and its application in public health, mental health, and health care settings. The challenges of moving research to practice and policy are universal, and future progress calls for collaborative partnerships and cross-country research. The fundamental tenet of D&I research-taking what we know about improving health and putting it into practice-must be the highest priority. Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health is the defini...
The Routledge Handbook of Health Communication brings together the current body of scholarly work in health communication. With its expansive scope, it offers an introduction for those new to this area, summarizes work for those already learned in the area, and suggests avenues for future research on the relationships between communicative processes and health/health care delivery.

It emphasizes work in such areas as barriers to disclosure in family conversations and me...

Dorothee Christiane Meinzer geht in ihrer qualitativen Studie der Frage nach, wie sich die kommunikative Konstruktion der Arzt-Patient-Beziehung in einer zunehmend digitalisierten Welt vollzieht. Im Zuge mehrtägiger Feldaufenthalte in allgemeinmedizinischen Praxen wurde die Kommunikation am Empfang, in Wartebereichen und in Sprechstunden beobachtet. Zudem wurden Interviews mit Hausärzten und Patienten geführt. Anhand der empirisch gewonnenen Daten zeigt die Autorin, wie die Kommunikation zwischen Ärzten und Patienten über Medien vermittelt, durch Medien gestützt und auf Medien bezogen verläuft. Es wird deutlich, dass Medien die Arzt-Patient-Beziehung nicht gleichförmig prägen. So werden fünf Patiententypen identifiziert, die ihre Beziehung auf je spezifische Weise konstruieren.
