Introduction: The purpose of this study was to describe the ways that parents and 11- to 15-year-old teens communicate and the recurrent themes and patterns of behavior that were revealed during brief interactions about issues related to diabetes management.
Method: A secondary qualitative analysis of data, based on a template for analysis developed from the literature, was completed on audiotaped interactions of 28 adolescents and their parents.
Results: Themes identified were frustration, fear, normalizing, trusting, and discounting. Trusting the adolescent to manage diabetes was difficult for the parents and was associated with frustration, fear, and discounting communication.
Discussion: Results support the need for clinicians to work with families to facilitate trust and positive parent-adolescent communication about diabetes management.

In recent years, the public health system of the United Kingdom, the National Healthcare System (NHS), has encountered difficulties that have been acknowledged in research studies and public policy discussions, such as resignations and staff shortages. During the COVID-19 pandemic, NHS healthcare workers were confronted with demanding circumstances, exacerbating the constraints of an already struggling system. With this, the authors of this paper aim to better understand the relationships between frustration at work, fear of infection, working hours, and the turnover intention of healthcare workers during the pandemic.

Capacity problems in healthcare lead organizations to seek new and fluid ways of organizing care to safeguard access to services. Task reallocation, triage and stepped care models are increasingly foregrounded as promising interventions that enhance the capacity, efficiency, and resilience of medical services and through which access can be maintained for a growing client base. In this paper, we argue that interventions meant to enhance capacity and increase efficiency have their limits in a system that is already under strain.
