Our purpose was to explore the degree to which secondary school athletic trainers (SSATs) perceive they are integrating the principles of patient-centered care (PCC) and the biopsychosocial (BPS) model in their practice. We used a cross-sectional design to explore the primary research question. We used the Global Perceptions of Athletic Trainer Patient-Centered Care (GPATPCC) tool and the Biopsychosocial Model of Health (BPSMH) tool, both measured on a 4-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = agree, 4 = strongly agree, with an unscored "unsure" option). We sent the survey to 5665 SSATs through the National Athletic Trainers' Association. Results indicate participants expressed strong agreement (mode = 4) with 7 of the 14 statements and agreement (mode = 3) with the remaining 7 statements of the GPATPCC tool (grand mean = 3.4 ± 0.8). Overall, participants rated their level of agreement on the BPSMH as agreeing (mode = 3) for each item (grand mean = 3.0 ± 1.0). SSATs perceive they are integrating the principles of PCC and the BPS model in clinical practice. These findings align with two previous studies concluding that patients, parents, and providers believe athletic trainers provide care that is focused on whole-person healthcare.

Introduction Despite efforts, tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem in developing countries, and India alone accounts for most of the global TB cases. Although the treatment for TB is highly successful, a significant number of TB patients in India do not complete their assigned treatment. Social support has a key influence on medication adherence for chronic illnesses like diabetes, asthma, HIV, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and TB.

Background: There is great interest in intensive primary care interventions to address high utilization among medically and socially complex patients. How patients experience these interventions has received less attention.

Objective: To better understand patients' experience of intensive primary care, we interviewed patients receiving care from the Streamlined Unified Meaningfully Managed Interdisciplinary Team (SUMMIT), an ambulatory intensive care intervention at an urban federally qualified health center.

Background: Alternative means of blood sampling continue to grow due to the scarcity of phlebotomists and the need for person-centered care. It is crucial to consistently support these alternative blood sampling innovations with scientific evidence to guarantee the quality of care, especially when implementing for instance Lateral Upper-arm Blood Collection (LUBC) for non-trained professionals at home. Knowledge gaps remain in how to quantify imprecision introduced by the collection method and its impact on clinical use.

Context: Timely and transparent serious illness conversations (SIC) between family caregivers and patients facilitate high-quality end-of-life care and patients' and family caregivers' mental wellbeing, but frequently do not occur, happen too late, or are incomplete. While social relations and roles shape communication, few studies explore their influence on patient-caregiver SICs.

Objectives: Investigate how the parent-child relation and roles shape SICs between cancer patients and their adult-child caregivers (ACC), the largest caregiver population.
