AI Article Synopsis

  • The SHARE-S program is a virtual intervention aimed at improving cancer survivors' engagement in health behaviors and follow-up care through technology and health coaching.
  • It was evaluated using qualitative interviews with patients and health coaches to assess its acceptability, leading to positive feedback regarding its convenience and impact on health behaviors.
  • Recommendations for improvement included more flexibility in the program's format and content, suggesting the potential for enhanced effectiveness in supporting survivor well-being.

Article Abstract

Purpose: Healthy cancer survivorship involves patients' active engagement with preventative health behaviors and follow-up care. While clinicians and patients have typically held dual responsibility for activating these behaviors, transitioning some clinician effort to technology and health coaches may enhance guideline implementation. This paper reports on the acceptability of the Shared Healthcare Actions & Reflections Electronic systems in survivorship (SHARE-S) program, an entirely virtual multicomponent intervention incorporating e-referrals, remotely-delivered health coaching, and automated text messages to enhance patient self-management and promote healthy survivorship.

Methods: SHARE-S was evaluated in single group hybrid implementation-effectiveness pilot study. Patients were e-referred from the clinical team to health coaches for three health self-management coaching calls and received text messages to enhance coaching. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 21 patient participants, 2 referring clinicians, and 2 health coaches to determine intervention acceptability (attitudes, appropriateness, suitability, convenience, and perceived effectiveness) and to identify important elements of the program and potential mechanisms of action to guide future implementation.

Results: SHARE-S was described as impactful and convenient. The nondirective, patient-centered health coaching and mindfulness exercises were deemed most acceptable; text messages were less acceptable. Stakeholders suggested increased flexibility in format, frequency, timing, and length of participation, and additional tailored educational materials. Patients reported tangible health behavior changes, improved mood, and increased accountability and self-efficacy.

Conclusions: SHARE-S is overall an acceptable and potentially effective intervention that may enhance survivors' self-management and well-being. Alterations to tailored content, timing, and dose should be tested to determine impact on acceptability and outcomes.

The growing number of migrant patients in western countries calls for better cross-cultural competence among health providers. As workplaces, hospitals have become increasingly multicultural, and many doctors are themselves of foreign origin, including psychiatrists. The aims of this study were to explore what clinical challenges International Medical Graduates (IMGs) and native-born Norwegian doctors training in psychiatry perceived when treating patients from other cultures, and what factors might be associated with such cross-cultural challenges.

Sport and Health Research Center, Shanghai YangZhi Rehabilitation Hospital (Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center), Physical Education Department, Tongji University, Shanghai, China.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of an 8-week lat pull-down resistance training program with joint instability on pull-up performance in male college students. Thirty-four healthy recreationally active male college students were randomly assigned to either the joint instability resistance training (IRT) or traditional resistance training (TRT) group. Participants of the TRT and IRT groups performed lat pull-down training on stable and joint instability conditions for 8 weeks, respectively.
