Purpose: To assess the feasibility of implementing Listening Visits (LV) in an Italian neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Study Design And Methods: This feasibility implementation of LV included empathic listening and problem-solving sessions provided by a psychologist to 26 parents of hospitalized preterm newborns. Using the RE-AIM implementation framework, three facets of feasibility were assessed: reach, adoption, and implementation.
Results: It is feasible to integrate LV into the NICU: 76% of families were willing to try LV (reach). Listening Visits recipients reported high satisfaction. Twelve of the 16 families (75%) received six or more LV sessions (adoption), with mothers attending more sessions. Implementation fidelity, defined here as the percentage of LV recipients that received at least four sessions, was 94% among mothers and 30% among fathers.
Clinical Implications: The LV intervention for parental support during the NICU stay is feasible and deemed helpful by parents. Parents were motivated to participate even though their levels of depression, stress, and anxiety were not high. In addition to the use of standardized screening questionnaires, parental requests and clinical team indications should be included in the decision-making for the provision of parental support services.

Background: Podcasts are an unconventional method of disseminating information through audio to the masses. They are an emerging portable technology and a valuable resource that provides unlimited access for promoting health among participants. Podcasts related to health care have been used as a source of medical education, but there is a dearth of studies on the use of podcasts as a source of health information.

Objective: Network analysis was used to explore the complex inter-relationships between social participation activities and depressive symptoms among the Chinese older population, and the differences in network structures among different genders, age groups, and urban-rural residency would be compared.
Methods: Based on the 2018 wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), 12,043 people aged 65 to 105 were included. The 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale was used to assess depressive symptoms and 10 types of social participation activities were collected, including housework, tai-chi, square dancing, visiting and interacting with friends, garden work, reading newspapers or books, raising domestic animals, playing cards or mahjong, watching TV or listening to radio, and organized social activities.

Background: Patient satisfaction surveys usually overlook differences in patient family experience (PFE) for families whose spoken language is different from that of the treating physician. This study examines the relationship between language-discordant care and patient experience.
Methods: A retrospective review of deidentified pediatric plastic surgery PFE survey responses from 2018 to 2021 was performed with permission from Lurie Children's Hospital's PFE Team.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the approaches general practitioners (GPs) use to respond to the treatment burden faced by people with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 29 videos of GP-patient consultations in an academic general practice clinic in China. Thematic analysis and a framework matrix approach were used to identify patterns in GPs' responses to the identified issues.
