Background: Societal use of digital technology rapidly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Face-to-face services converted to online provision where possible. This affected many nurse researchers.

Aim: To explore conducting research interviews online with children and young people (CYP) about sensitive topics.

Discussion: This article considers digital inclusion, as well as ethical issues surrounding safety, support and consent, along with choosing tools for collecting data. It also presents a discussion of physical proximity in qualitative interviews with this population and its role in data quality. The authors investigate benefits in the context of researchers' personal experiences. They acknowledge the disadvantages of conducting interviews online and discuss ways to mitigate these.

Conclusion: The advantages for researchers include cost-effectiveness, time-efficiency and greater geographical reach of participants. However, CYP's perspectives are unknown and the specific ethical issues of using this method with CYP need careful consideration.

Implications For Practice: More research is needed to examine virtual interviews from the perspectives of CYP as participants. Virtual acquisition of consent and assent should be investigated to standardise good research practices.

This study aims to explore the impact of cancer on romantic relationships and marriage from the perspective of partners of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 10 partners, of any gender and cancer type, who entered into a relationship or decided to marry after the AYA's cancer diagnosis. Three key themes emerged regarding the impact of cancer on romantic relationships and marriage: no change or impact, positive impact, and anxiety.

The impacts of extreme events can intersect with pre-disaster systemic inequalities and deficiencies, exacerbating distress. This paper contributes to the existing literature by exploring the psychosocial processes through which stressors become traumatic during an extreme event. It does so by focusing on how mothers of children and/or adolescents in the United Kingdom experienced the COVID-19 pandemic.

The naturalistic paradigm and analytical methods present new approaches that are particularly suitable for research concentrating on narrative reading development. We analyzed fMRI data from 44 adults and 42 children engaged in story reading using time-locked inter-subject correlation (ISC), inter-subject representation similarity analysis (IS-RSA), and inter-subject functional correlation (ISFC). The ISC results indicated that for both children and adults, narrative reading recruited not only traditional reading areas but also regions that are sensitive to long-time-scale information, such as the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, which increased involvement from children to adults.
