Development and application of a non-technical skills coaching intervention framework for surgeons: A pilot quality improvement initiative

Non-technical skills (NTS) challenges experienced by surgeons may degrade performance, ultimately impacting the safety and quality of care delivered to patients. The objectives of this work were to develop a framework for NTS coaching for surgeons and implement a coaching program utilizing the developed NTS coaching framework. Leveraging adult learning and self-determination theories, a specialty-agnostic NTS coaching framework was developed for individual coaching sessions with robotic surgeons. The framework was used to deliver NTS coaching sessions to robotic surgeons. Surgeon’s robotic procedures were recorded, and expert raters assessed their NTS using the Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons tool. Measures of surgeon satisfaction, learning outcomes, and performance improvement were determined. Cohen’s d statistic was used to estimate the effect size of the coaching intervention. To pilot the program, ten robotic-assisted surgeries (five pre-coaching and five post-coaching) were observed from five practicing robotic surgeons who were recruited from a large academic healthcare system. Expert raters’ assessment of surgeons’ NTS revealed several exemplar and non-exemplar behaviors. Surgeons were satisfied with the coaching, rating its quality very highly on all NTS dimensions. On a Likert scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), surgeons had a stronger agreement that the coaching could improve their situation awareness (4.0±.5) and leadership (4.8±.2) skills compared to their decision making and communication (3.8±.7). From the post-coaching observations, coaching had medium-to-large effect on situation awareness (d = .65) and leadership (d = .41), small effect on communication and teamwork (d = .14), and no effect on decision-making. Overall, the coaching intervention had a medium effect on total NTS (d = .33). We presented a quality improvement initiative to enhance the NTS of surgeons by implementing a coaching program that leverages our developed NTS framework. Recognizing the importance of NTS in surgeries, our initiative shows a commitment to continuous improvement of patient safety and quality of care.

Exploring successes, barriers, and enablers in the one-year digital Healthy Weight Coaching

IntroductionHealthcare professionals’ perspectives are often overlooked in the evaluation of digital weight loss interventions. Thus, we examined how healthcare professionals perceive patient success in a one-year web-based weight management program, the Healthy Weight Coaching, aiming to identify key success factors and common challenges within the coaching process.MethodsThematic analysis was conducted on ten semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals from the Healthy Weight Coaching. Interviewees included individuals of both sexes, with an average age of 41 years, ranging from 10 months to 5 years of coaching experience, and treating 90 to 500 patients.ResultsThree main themes emerged from the analysis: (1) Positive progress during the Healthy Weight Coaching, (2) Factors facilitating success, and (3) Barriers hindering progress. The coaches noted significant positive changes among patients, including increased self-compassion, reduced weight-related stress, and a shift toward holistic well-being. Improvements in eating habits, physical activity, and vegetable consumption were observed, along with reductions in binge eating behaviors. Personal factors such as internal motivation and engagement with the program were crucial for success. Additionally, aspects of the Healthy Weight Coaching program, such as its individualized and supportive environment, flexible coaching approach, and the pivotal role of coaches, were seen as facilitators of success. Patients valued being treated equally and acceptingly and fostering trust and collaboration. However, challenges such as burdensome life situations, limited resources, and inadequate support posed significant barriers to progress. Unrealistic goals and societal pressures were also observed to hinder successful weight management efforts.ConclusionA comprehensive, individualized approach addressing resource limitations and societal norms can enhance long-term success in weight management programs like the Healthy Weight Coaching, ultimately promoting overall well-being.

HCA PIECESTM Care Coach Program: Peer to peer approach to promote person-centred care in long-term care

In Long-Term Care (LTC) settings, the potentially inappropriate use of antipsychotics for behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia is a persistent issue, with high rates despite limited benefit and serious risk. Best practice is a non-pharmacological, person-centred approach to care, though this can be challenging in LTC settings. To help address this gap, we developed the PIECESTM HCA Care Coach Program and described its implementation and outcomes observed at 13 LTC homes. This program empowers Health Care aides with training, tools, and processes to practice the principles of person-centred care and provide peer mentorship to the care team. After 1 year, we found declining antipsychotics use (by 4.4%) and positive indicators of improved staff experience and improved resident quality of life. The Care Coach Program can be adapted and spread to a variety of LTC settings to help reduce potentially inappropriate antipsychotic use and better support people living with dementia.

Academic Coaching in Entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy Education.

Learners face a variety of academic and personal challenges that may impact performance in Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs. Academic coaching has emerged as a student support model within undergraduate medical education but has not yet been evaluated in DPT education. The purpose of this method/model presentation was to describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of 2 coaching programs. Two hybrid DPT programs implemented a coaching approach to support students. The coaching framework was centered around an individualized relationship between the learner and faculty coach to promote reflection, growth, agency, and persistence in educational and professional development. Faculty members were prepared and supported to serve as coaches. Coaches met with their assigned students at regular intervals throughout the program, including clinical experiences. The coaching programs were assessed through program exit surveys and an alumni survey. Graduates from both programs reported that the coaching program was effective and supported a sense of belonging or connectedness within their DPT program. They reported several specific activities that were part of the coaching program structure that supported its effectiveness, including group-based orientation activities and 1:1 meetings with their coach. Graduates also provided suggestions for program improvement including increased structure and more opportunities to connect with their peers and coaches in a nonacademic setting. Two DPT programs successfully implemented coaching as their student support model. With appropriate preparation, planning, and support, coaching programs have the potential to provide individualized and meaningful support for DPT students.

Implementation of a Technology-Enabled Diabetes Self-Management Peer Coaching Intervention for Patients With Poorly Controlled Diabetes: Quasi-Experimental Case Study.

Patients with diabetes experience worse health outcomes and greater health care expenditure. Improving diabetes outcomes requires involved self-management. Peer coaching programs can help patients engage in self-management while addressing individual and structural barriers. These peer coaching programs can be scaled with digital platforms to efficiently connect patients with peer supporters who can help with diabetes self-management. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of a technology-enabled peer coaching intervention to support diabetes self-management among patients with uncontrolled diabetes. MetroPlusHealth, a predominant Medicaid health maintenance organization based in New York City, partnered with Pyx Health to enroll 300 Medicaid patients with uncontrolled diabetes into its 6-month peer coaching intervention. Pyx Health peer coaches conduct at least 2 evidence-based and goal-oriented coaching sessions per month with their assigned patients. These sessions are focused on addressing both behavioral and social determinants of health (SDoH) with the goal of helping patients increase their diabetes self-management literacy, implement self-management behaviors, and reduce barriers to ongoing self-care. Data analyzed in this study included patient demographic data, clinical data (patient's hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]), and program implementation data including types of behavioral determinants of health and SDoH reported by patients and types of interventions used by peer coaches. A total of 330 patients enrolled in the peer mentoring program and 2118 patients were considered to be on a waitlist group and used as a comparator. Patients who enrolled in the peer coaching program were older; more likely to be English speakers, female, and African American; and less likely to be White or Asian American or Pacific Islander than those in the waitlist condition, and had similar HbA1c laboratory results at baseline (intervention group 10.59 vs waitlist condition 10.62) Patients in the enrolled group had on average a -1.37 point reduction in the HbA1c score (n=70; pre: 10.99, post 9.62; P<.001), whereas patients in the waitlist group had a -0.16 reduction in the HbA1c score (n=207; pre 9.75, post 9.49; P<.001). Among a subsample of participants enrolled in the program with at least 2 HbA1c scores, we found that endorsement of emotional health issues (β=1.344; P=.04) and medication issues (β=1.36; P=.04) were significantly related to increases in HbA1c. This analysis of a technology-enabled 1-on-1 peer coaching program showed improved HbA1c levels for program participants relative to nonprogram participants. Results suggested participants with emotional stressors and medication management issues had worse outcomes and many preferred to connect through phone calls versus an app. These findings support the effectiveness of digital programs with multimodal approaches that include human support for improving diabetes self-management in a typically marginalized population with significant SDoH barriers.

The Evaluation of a Mindful Coaching Programme to Reduce Burnout in Social Workers in Hong Kong-A Pilot Study.

Social work professionals experience high levels of burnout, emotional exhaustion, and secondary traumatic stress (STS). This paper reports the findings of a pilot test of the Burn-Not-Out programme that aimed to reduce social workers' burnout, STS, and depressive symptoms and to enhance compassion satisfaction (CS), using the mixed methods evaluation methodology. Hong Kong social workers participated in the programme between December 2023 and March 2024 and completed pre- and post-programme self-administered online surveys including the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), healthy alongside self-constructed questions on boundary setting, and post-programme online focus group discussions. The results from 94 paired surveys revealed a concerning mental health profile of the participants at baseline, and, after programme participation, there were statistically significant reductions in burnout (Cohen's d = 0.73) and depressive symptoms (Cohen's d = 0.57) among the participants. The participants in the focus group reported that they valued the programme's emphasis on healthy boundaries, one-on-one coaching, and the sense of being cared for, which contributed to their mental health improvement. This study highlights the urgent need for more research on the role of psychological capital in social workers' resilience and calls for more empirical systemic interventions that can promote social workers' mental wellness, with sustainable policies that ensure manageable workloads and adequate workplace support.

Exploring the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of a real-time cardiac telerehabilitation and tele coaching programme using wearable devices in people with a recent myocardial infarction.

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) constitutes the recommended nonpharmacological approach for cardiac patients with cardiovascular disease such as people following a recent (i.e., < 4 week) myocardial infarction (MI). Recent evidence suggests that cardiac telerehabilitation may be as effective as traditional (i.e., in person) CR in people following a recent MI. Nevertheless, the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of such an exercise programme has yet to be examined. Forty-four (11 women, 33 men) people following a recent MI were randomly allocated into two groups (online home-based and gym-based groups). The groups underwent a 24-week CR programme thrice per week. All patients performed the baseline, and 24 weeks follow up measurements where feasibility, acceptability, and safety were assessed. Eligibility and recruitment rates were found to be 61.5% and 42%, respectively. Compliance to the thrice weekly, 24-week exercise programme for the online- and gym-based groups were 91.6% and 90.9%, respectively. There were no dropouts during the exercise programmes, however four participants, two from each group, were lost to follow up at 6 months. The average percentage of peak HR (% HRpeak) for the online group was 66.6% ± 4.5 and for the gym-based group was 67.2% ± 5. The average RPE and affect during exercise was for both groups 12 ± 1 ("somewhat hard") and 3 ± 1 ("good"), respectively. During the 6-month exercise intervention period for both groups, the exercise-induced symptoms were minimal to none. The user suitability evaluation questionnaire revealed that the online real time telerehabilitation and tele coaching programme was enjoyable (4.85 ± 0.37) and did not induce general discomfort (1.20 ± 0.41). Our cardiac telerehabilitation programme seems to be feasible, acceptable, safe, and enjoyable for people with a recent MI. Our participants had an overall positive experience and acceptability of the cardiac telerehabilitation and tele coaching using wearable devices.

Assessing the Quality and Effectiveness of School-Based Sports Coaching Programs in China

This research assessed the effectiveness of sports coaching programs implemented in schools in China. It examines explicitly crucial elements such as coaching credentials, program structure, sports infrastructure, safety protocols, monitoring and evaluation approaches, and technology integration. The study used a stratified sampling technique to choose a representative sample of athletes from various universities. Data was gathered by administering questionnaires and conducting interviews to evaluate the athletes' perspectives on the coaching programs. The findings suggest that athletes typically have a good perception of coaching programs, especially about their effective promotion of cooperation, safety, and use of technology. However, some aspects need improvement, including grasping sports skills, allocation of facility money, and availability of contemporary resources. Furthermore, the research revealed no statistically significant disparities in athletes' evaluations or program outcomes when they were categorized according to their gender, sport, or length of participation. Furthermore, the coaching programs show a modest favorable impact on athletes' physical fitness, sports performance, and general well-being, with specific attention on the development of endurance, resilience, and problem-solving skills. The study furthermore cites many significant obstacles coaches encounter, including resource constraints, cultural and academic demands, inadequate professional growth opportunities, and hurdles to effective communication.

Recovery Coach Program Implementation Across an Integrated Health System.

Peer recovery coaches (PRCs) are increasingly playing a role in helping patients with substance use disorders engage with treatment. PRCs can support and motivate patients in meeting their self-defined recovery goals, engaging in addiction treatment, navigating the health care system, and overcoming barriers to recovery. This support increases patient engagement and is cost-effective. Little has been written about integrating PRCs in health care settings. In this column, the authors describe the implementation of a PRC program with 23 coaches serving 5,662 participants in diverse clinical settings. The authors discuss key facilitators and barriers and opportunities for further research.

A community health-coaching referral program following discharge from treatment for chronic low back pain – a qualitative study of the patient’s perspective

BackgroundGlobal policy and guidelines for low back pain (LBP) management promote physical activity and self-management yet adherence is poor and a decline in outcomes is common following discharge from treatment. Health coaching is effective at improving exercise adherence, self-efficacy, and social support in individuals with chronic conditions, and may be an acceptable, cost-effective way to support people in the community following discharge from treatment for LBP.AimThis qualitative study aimed to understand which aspects of a community over-the-phone health-coaching program, were liked and disliked by patients as well as their perceived outcomes of the service after being discharged from LBP treatment.MethodsA purposive sampling approach was used to recruit 12 participants with chronic LBP, from a large randomised controlled trial, who were randomly allocated to receive a health coaching program from the Get Healthy Service® in Australia. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and a general inductive thematic analysis approach was taken.ResultsThe main themes uncovered regarding the intervention included the positive and negative aspects of the health coaching service and the relationship between the participant and health coach. Specifically, the participants spoke of the importance of the health coach, the value of goal setting, the quality of the advice received, the benefits of feeling supported, the format of the coaching service, and LBP-specific knowledge. They also reported the health coach and the coaching relationship to be the primary factors influencing the program outcomes and the qualities of the coaching relationship they valued most were connection, communication, care, and competence. The sub-themes uncovered regarding the outcomes of the intervention included positive impacts (a greater capacity to cope, increased confidence, increased motivation and increased satisfaction) and negative impacts (receiving no personal benefit).Clinical implicationsIn an environment where self-management and self-care are becoming increasingly important, understanding the patient’s experience as part of a coaching program is likely to lead to improved quality of health coaching care, more tailored service delivery and potentially more effective and cost-effective community-based care for individuals with chronic LBP in the community after being discharged from treatment.Trial RegistrationThe GBTH trial was prospectively registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12620000889954) on 10/9/2020. Ethical approval was prospectively granted by the Western Sydney Local Health District Human Research and Ethics Committee (2020/ETH00115). Written informed consent was obtained from all participants. The relevant sponsor has reviewed the study protocol and consent form.

Early-stage implementation of peer-led interventions for emergency department patients with substance use disorder: Findings from a formative qualitative evaluation

IntroductionEmergency department (ED)-based peer recovery coach (PRC) programs can improve access to substance use disorder treatment (SUD) for ED patients. As literature on early stages of PRC implementation is limited, we conducted a qualitative assessment of ED PRC program implementation from several US-based PRC programs focusing on barriers and facilitators for implementation and providing recommendations based on the findings. MethodsWe collected qualitative data from 39 key informants (peer recovery coaches, PRC program managers, ED physicians and staff, representatives of community-based organizations) via 6 focus groups and 21 interviews in February–December 2023. We transcribed audio-recordings and analyzed data using codebook thematic analysis. ResultsWe identified the following major themes related to specific barriers and recommendations to address them. To facilitate timely linkage to PRCs, programs would regularly inform ED staff about the program and its linkage procedures, establish trust between PRC and ED staff, streamline the linkage procedures, and choose an “opt-out” linkage approach. To address barriers related to external referrals, programs use “warm handoff” and “warm line” strategies, maintain and update a comprehensive catalog of resources, and familiarize peer coaches with local service providers. Telehealth services implementation requires addressing logistical barriers, ensuring patients' privacy, and training peer coaches on building trust and rapport online. Peer coaches' wellness and quality of services can be improved by limiting PRC's workload, prioritizing quality over quantity, facilitating self-, peer- and professional care to mitigate stress and burnout; and, importantly, by providing supportive supervision and training to peer coaches and advocating for PRC team as an equal partner in the ED settings. To facilitate PRC program adoption and sustainment program managers engage local communities and program champions, seek diverse sources of funding, and advocate for structural changes to accommodate recruitment and retention of peer recovery coaches. ConclusionsWe compiled a wealth of best practices used by PRC programs to address numerous implementation barriers and challenges. These recommendations are intended for PRC program planners, managers and champions, hospital leadership, and state and local public health agencies leading SUD epidemic response.

The Efficacy of a Culturally-Adapted Group-based Parent Coaching Program for Autistic Children in China via Telehealth: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

The study aimed to examine the efficacy of a culturally-adapted, group-based parent coaching program for autistic children in China delivered via telehealth. A randomized controlled trial was conducted, with 18 parents allocated to the self-directed group that received the intervention through an online learning platform, and 19 parents allocated to the web + group therapy group, which included the same program along with weekly 1.5-hour group coaching sessions via videoconferencing. The primary outcomes were parents' mental health and children's adaptive functioning, while the secondary outcomes focused on the child behaviors, parenting stress and parenting style, and family quality of life. Linear Mixed Models were used to evaluate treatment effects across time and to model longitudinal trajectories of outcomes in both children and parents. Both intervention groups showed significant improvements in children's communication skills (F (1, 60.27) = 29.86, p < 0.001) and social engagement (F (1, 60.07) = 11.73, p = 0.001), as well as reductions in parenting stress (F (1, 59.07) = 8.76, p = 0.004) and anxiety levels (F (1, 57.62) = 4.84, p = 0.032). Additionally, the group-based parent coaching via videoconferencing was associated with greater improvements in children's quality of life (F (1, 59.95) = 5.90, p = 0.018) and parents' anxiety outcomes (F (1, 57.62) = 4.84, p = 0.032). This study demonstrated the efficacy of a culturally adapted telehealth intervention for both autistic children and their parents. The preliminary findings suggest positive outcomes in children's adaptive functioning and parents' mental well-being. Group-based parent coaching through videoconferencing could be a promising and practical model for in-home services, particularly for families with limited access to in-person services.

Real-World Outcomes of a Digital Behavioral Coaching Intervention to Improve Employee Health Status: Retrospective Observational Study.

Chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) account for major disability and premature mortality worldwide, with low- and middle-income countries being disproportionately burdened. Given the negative impact of NCDs on employee performance and work productivity, there is a rising need for stakeholders to identify effective workplace solutions that can improve employee health outcomes. As the workplace becomes more dispersed post pandemic, digital behavioral coaching offers a scalable, personalized, and cost-effective method of managing chronic disease risk factors among employees. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the impact of a digital behavioral coaching program on year-to-year changes in employee health status in a cohort of Indonesian employees. This retrospective real-world exploratory analysis of secondary health data followed 774 employees of an Indonesian company who completed company-sponsored health screenings between 2021 and 2022 and were given access to Naluri (Naluri Hidup Sdn Bhd), a holistic digital therapeutics platform offering digital behavioral health coaching and self-help tools. Participants were retrospectively classified as those who received active coaching (n=177), passive coaching (n=108), and no coaching (n=489). Linear mixed-effects models were used to evaluate the year-to-year changes in health outcomes across the 3 employee groups, with post hoc analyses evaluating within-group differences between the 2 time points and between-group differences at follow-up. Significant time×group interaction effects were detected for body weight, BMI, hemoglobin A1c, low-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Post hoc pairwise comparisons revealed significant improvements in hemoglobin A1c (mean difference [Mdiff]=-0.14, P=.008), high-density lipoprotein (Mdiff=+2.14, P<.001), and total cholesterol (Mdiff=-11.45, P<.001) for employees in the Active Coaching group between 2021 and 2022, with the other 2 groups reporting deteriorations in multiple health outcomes throughout the 2 time points. At follow-up, those who received active coaching between 2021 and 2022 reported significantly lower body weight (P<.001), BMI (P=.001), low-density lipoprotein (P=.045), and total cholesterol (P<.001) than the No Coaching group. This study demonstrates real-world outcomes and implications supporting the use of workplace digital behavioral coaching in improving employee health status. Given the rising burden of NCDs in the Southeast Asian region, our findings underscore the role that workplace digital health interventions can play in preventing and managing chronic disease risk factors.

A Study to assess the Effectiveness of planned Teaching Programme on knowledge regarding specific Learning Disabilities in children among Primary School Teachers at selected Schools, Dharwad District Karnataka, India

Nowadays children are day after today’s citizens. they're in a non-stop system of growth and improvement. Any alteration in its direction leads to developmental problems. specific studying incapacity plays a considerable position as silent handicap amongst children. it is expected that four-5% of college students in primary faculty have unique mastering disability. unique studying disability is “A disorder that affect people’s potential to either interpret what they see and listen or to link records from exceptional components of the brain.

Optimalisasi Program Pelayanan Sosial untuk Remaja: Studi pada Dinas Sosial PPPA Kabupaten Nganjuk

Teenagers who drop out of school or are neglected are a social problem whose impact can be felt by the individuals themselves and also society. In an effort to reduce teenagers who drop out of school or are neglected, cooperation from various government and private parties is needed. One of them is a social service program which aims to ensure that they continue to receive education outside of school and receive guidance. One way to respond to this is that the Indonesian government has made strategic efforts through the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia to establish a social welfare management program for social services throughout Indonesia, especially in East Java social services by forming a UPT which has a coaching program for teenagers who have dropped out of school. namely UPT PSBR. The background of this research is to describe the effectiveness of the youth development social service program which is a program of the East Java Provincial Social Service down to the UPT PSBR and followed by the Nganjuk Regency PPPA Social Service in dealing with teenagers who have dropped out of school. Seeing how the PPPA Social Service in Nganjuk district handles and empowers children who are neglected or have dropped out of school through this program. This type of research is qualitative. This research aims to describe the condition of facts in the field using analysis based on certain data (information). There are 3 methods used for data collection, namely interviews, documentation and field observations. The results of this research show that this program is beneficial and effective for teenagers who have dropped out of school as evidenced by the accuracy of targeting in selecting participants, achieving the set goals, monitoring the program which is beneficial for graduates assisted by PSBR. However, there are still other problems such as the public's lack of knowledge about the PSBR program, this is because the socialization is still carried out using simple methods.
