This study assessed the degree of concurrence between teenagers' stated preferences regarding chaperones and professionals' predictions about teenagers' responses. One hundred and fifty members of the Society for Adolescent Medicine received the Method section of a study investigating teenagers' attitudes about chaperones during examination of the genitalia. These professionals were asked to predict the teenagers' choices. Seventy professionals responded. Male and female professionals made highly similar predictions. Professionals' predictions were generally accurate, with four exceptions. Professionals underestimated some teenagers' desire to have a family member present (the case for females aged 14-16 yr and males 12-13 yr). They also underestimated young boys' and girls' reluctance to have an opposite-sexed nurse present. Regarding teenagers' reluctance to be alone with the physician, professionals did not appreciate the differential importance of age for males versus females. They also underestimated, for females and young males, the additive importance of the physician's sex and familiarity to the patient.

Department of Value Improvement, St. Antonius Hospital, Nieuwegein, Netherlands.
Background: Patients with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) should be involved in setting their rehabilitation goals. A personalized prediction of CVA outcomes would allow care professionals to better inform patients and informal caregivers. Several accurate prediction models have been created, but acceptance and proper implementation of the models are prerequisites for model adoption.

Background: To reduce the mortality related to bladder cancer, efforts need to be concentrated on early detection of the disease for more effective therapeutic intervention. Strong risk factors (eg, smoking status, age, professional exposure) have been identified, and some diagnostic tools (eg, by way of cystoscopy) have been proposed. However, to date, no fully satisfactory (noninvasive, inexpensive, high-performance) solution for widespread deployment has been proposed.

This article presents the development and validation of the Short Phronesis Measure (SPM), a novel tool to assess Aristotelian phronesis (practical wisdom). Across three studies, using large, nationally representative samples from the UK and US (demographically matched to census data), we employed a systematic and rigorous methodology to examine the structure, reliability, and validity of the SPM. In Study 1a, exploratory factor analysis identified ten distinct, internally reliable components of phronesis, challenging the traditional four-component Aristotelian model.

Objective: To determine if professional roles and demographic characteristics predict relational coordination (RC) among healthcare professionals in the ICU.
Background: Race, age, and sex diversity are increasing in the medical and nursing workforce, raising questions regarding how well healthcare professionals are collaborating. RC is a validated model for coordinating interdependent work among healthcare professionals.
