Background: Parents' tacit knowledge plays an important role in the care of persons with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD). As little is known about its nature and use, we aimed to explore this parental tacit knowledge.
Method: We conducted semi-structured interviews with parents ( = 11) about their tacit knowledge of their child, based upon video recordings they made of their child's behaviour, and analysed the data thematically.
Results: Parents described their tacit knowledge as the capacity to read their child's subtle signs, or to sense and "just know" their child's situation. They had developed this knowledge because of their shared history of proximity and interaction and emphasised that it was crucial in ensuring their children's needs are met.
Conclusions: We describe how parents' tacit knowledge contributes to "good care" for persons with PIMD, interpret the implications for (medical) care practice, and discuss ways to deal with its limitations.

Cultural foundations of global health: a critical examination of universal child feeding recommendations.
Glob Health Res Policy
January 2025
California State University, Long Beach, USA.
There has been a rising call to decolonize global health so that it more fully includes the concerns, knowledge, and research from people all over the world. This endeavor can only succeed, we argue, if we also recognize that much of established global health doctrine is rooted in Euro-American beliefs, values, and practice rather than being culturally neutral. This paper examines the cultural biases of child feeding recommendations as a case in point.

Background: Neuroendovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms is considered a basic procedure for neurosurgeons and interventional neuroradiologists; however, its critical technical nuances, termed "tacit knowledge," are challenging to impart. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of our novel video recording and editing method in enhancing trainees' experience.
Methods: A wearable camera (wearable recording) and multiple media sources in a hybrid operating room (hybrid recording) were used to capture procedural details such as audio and conversation, thus enabling a re-experience.
