WHAT IT FOUND

No clinical finding is available: this paper proposes a theoretical framework for studying communication support strategies but reports no participants, methods, or results.

What this paper is

This is a conceptual-methodological framework proposing realist evaluation and relevance theory for studying communication support strategies. It reports no participants, no methods applied to patients, and no results, so there is no finding for therapists to act on.

The easy way to misread this

Do not treat this framework as evidence that communication support strategies help patients. It reports no participants, methods, or results.
