Aims: Although research exists on parental communication in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the role of communication by health care providers remains understudied. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, this study examined the role of autonomy-supportive communication (i.e., providing meaningful rationale and offering choices with regard to treatment recommendations) by providers and parents, and how they interact in the prediction of diabetes outcomes.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 135 adolescents (mean age 14.3 ± 2.1SD years), 171 mothers, and 121 fathers reported on autonomy-supportive communication from health care providers and parents, and on adolescent treatment adherence. HbA1c values were retrieved from the medical record.
Results: In adolescent reports, perceived autonomy-supportive communication from providers but not from parents was positively related to treatment adherence. A significant interaction between autonomy-supportive communication from providers and parents pointed to the highest level of treatment adherence when adolescents perceived both providers and parents as autonomy-supportive. In contrast, parental reports revealed that parental autonomy-supportive communication was positively related to treatment adherence, whereas autonomy-supportive communication by providers was not.
Conclusions: Autonomy-supportive communication by providers and parents is associated with better treatment adherence in adolescents with T1D. Interventions to improve autonomy-supportive communication by parents and providers may improve treatment adherence of adolescents (e.g., communication training).

College of Physical Education, Shanxi University, Taiyuan, China.
Rationale: Coach autonomy-supportive behaviors are a crucial factor in the communication effectiveness with athletes experiencing depressive moods. Therefore, clarifying the relationship between coach autonomy-supportive behaviors and the communication effectiveness with athletes experiencing depressive moods is of significant importance for promoting effective communication between coaches and athletes. This study employs in-depth interviews, questionnaires, and stepwise regression analysis, using purposive sampling to investigate coaches and athletes experiencing depressive moods from various regions, levels, genders, and sports in China.

Article Synopsis
- Instructional language is a key technique in OPTIMAL theory that can create a supportive learning environment for motor skill development, but its impact has been under-explored in the literature.* -
- A study with 156 participants tested the effects of autonomy-supportive versus controlling language on learning a speed cup stacking task, revealing that while autonomy-supportive language increased feelings of autonomy, it didn't affect motor performance or motivation.* -
- The study's results challenge some predictions of OPTIMAL theory and suggest that the influence of motivational factors on skill acquisition may require larger sample sizes to properly assess.*
Beyond ideals: why the (medical) AI industry needs to motivate behavioural change in line with fairness and transparency values, and how it can do it.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly relied upon by clinicians for making diagnostic and treatment decisions, playing an important role in imaging, diagnosis, risk analysis, lifestyle monitoring, and health information management. While research has identified biases in healthcare AI systems and proposed technical solutions to address these, we argue that effective solutions require human engagement. Furthermore, there is a lack of research on how to motivate the adoption of these solutions and promote investment in designing AI systems that align with values such as transparency and fairness from the outset.

Article Synopsis
- Dyadic peer support can help patients improve their health behaviors, but matching peers based on demographic traits like race or gender might not be crucial for success.
- A study involving 177 peers and 69 supporters showed no significant link between demographic concordance and various health outcomes like weight change or diabetes-related education participation.
- Participant feedback highlighted that the ability of supporters to communicate empathy and non-judgment was more important than shared demographics, suggesting that training in effective communication should be prioritized in peer support programs.

Importance: Occupational therapists have the proven capacity to improve outcomes for young adults who are self-managing Type 1 diabetes (T1D). There is insufficient understanding of adolescents' experiences of developing responsibility for diabetes self-management (DSM).
Objective: To investigate adolescents' perceptions of sharing responsibility for T1D management at school.
