Optimising Staff-patient Communication in Advanced Renal disease (OSCAR) - 4-year NIHR-funded research study led by @Lucy_Selman. Follow for study updates!
Did you know that at some renal units about 5% of older people have dialysis, while at others 95% do? This is partly due to how clinicians communicate about treatment options. In this new blog I discuss how the @OSCAR_study aims to tackle the problem #CKD#decisionmaking
New research kicking off later this year will investigate how kidney doctors engage with & support older people making the decision whether or not to have dialysis. Found out more about the @OSCAR_study by reading our latest blog by @Lucy_Selman https://t.co/phu2QM6zBC
The @OSCAR_study team were pleased to contribute to this new patient information resource about conservative kidney management from @kidneycareuk , now online:

"Clinicians too have a critical role in reshaping attitudes and so must build their own death and grief literacy."
Changing attitudes to death and grief demands bold action, writes @Lucy_Selman#ChristmasBMJ

This paper from @OSCAR_study builds on the CKMAPPS study, particularly qualitative data analysis by @SKGTonkinCrine@paulrsoton and colleagues, by showing how treatment decision-making is biased by the framing of dialysis and conservative management.

Dr Chloe Shaw presented Conversation Analytic findings regarding the presentation of treatment options to older patients. We found that clinicians tend to present dialysis as the default treatment & conservative management as subordinate. 3/3
Team members Dr Chloe Shaw and Dr Ryann Sowden are now back from the @ERAkidney conference in beautiful Stockholm, where they presented findings from @OSCAR_study on treatment decision-making in advanced kidney disease. 1/3
@RyannSowden presented on how descriptions of treatment options in information resources are often biased and how this may influence patient understanding and decision-making. 2/3
Very original work by @Lucy_Selman on @OSCAR_study using conversational analysis. Revealed 2 ways of presenting renal treatment options - dialysis as normative (audio example in slide) vs. conservative management as valid option. #EAPC2023 👏🏻👏🏻
If you are missing #EAPC2023 and want to hear about more palliative care research, join our research network meeting this Thursday at 2pm UK time!
