Article Abstract
Objective: We aimed to describe patients' perspectives and experiences of gout medications to inform patient-centered practice.
Method: We performed a systematic review (using MEDLINE, Embase, PsychINFO, and CINAHL databases) and thematic analysis of studies using qualitative methodology from database inception up to May 2023.
Results: Five dominant themes were identified in 45 studies involving 1203 patients: denying illness, negotiating uncertainty, juggling competing priorities, minimizing symptoms and lifestyle restrictions, and developing strategies and empowerment.
Conclusion: Patients with gout wanted to avoid suffering and lifestyle restrictions but were concerned with stigmatization and were uncertain about medications. Comprehensive information about the disease and reframing the role of the different medications is needed to overcome the barriers of adherence to available and effective treatment. Our results highlight the fundamental importance of maintaining a patient-centered focus and include some avenues of how clinicians may redefine their approach to gout management.

Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) are a leading cause of death worldwide, yet first responder apps can significantly improve outcomes by mobilizing citizens to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation before professional help arrives. Despite their importance, limited research has examined the psychological and behavioral factors that influence individuals' willingness to adopt these apps.
Objective: Given that first responder app use involves elements of both technology adoption and preventive health behavior, it is essential to examine this behavior from multiple theoretical perspectives.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in minors with gender dysphoria (GD) seeking transition treatments, including puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. The developing child's brain exhibits structural and functional differences in children with GD compared to cisgender children, particularly in areas where sex differences exist. Brain development during childhood and adolescence is strongly influenced by sex hormones.

Background: Rates of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) morbidity and mortality have increased in young women aged ≤55 years but little is known about their experience recovering from and living with AMI. A personal recovery (experience of an identity shift manifested in both losses and gains) has been reported among general AMI survivors. Our objective was to gain insights into young women's perspectives on long-term post-AMI recovery, under the patient-centered personal recovery framework.
