When I was severe, what kept me going was the thought that I can conduct research one day to contribute to improving the lives of those with ME/CFS. Happy that this is slowly starting to become a reality 🥹

The findings highlight the importance of combining transparency about uncertainty with a concrete plan, such as offering a delayed prescription, to balance patient trust and responsible antibiotic use. (4/)

Results showed that discussing uncertainty and social externalities reduced antibiotic expectations but also impaired trust and the doctor‘s reputation if no clear plan was provided. (3/)

In Sievert et al. (2024), we conducted two vignette experiments (N = 2,740) to explore how doctors‘ communication about diagnostic uncertainty, social costs of antibiotic resistance and prescription timing affect patients‘ expectations of receiving antibiotics. (2/)

Many infections, like ear infections, come with non-specific symptoms, leaving doctors uncertain about when antibiotics are necessary. Patients often seek relief, and prescribing antibiotics „just in case“ can feel safe but contributes to AMR over time. (1/)

Sehe ich auch so. In unserer Gesellschaft wird es incentiviert, wenn man über seine Grenzen geht. Daher erscheint Pacing kontraintuitiv für nicht Betroffene, weil sie denken, dass man sich einfach ein paar Mal überwinden muss, damit man Verbesserung erfährt

Mega! Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Paper. Danke für deine wichtige Arbeit und fürs sichtbar machen

Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

Apparently I do not check bluesky enough to participate in such a game 😅
