Climate labels and the restaurant industry: a qualitative study

As the food industry accounts for more than one-third of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, it is one of the largest contributors to climate change. Strategies for reducing CO2e (equivalent) emissions must be implemented to regulate the impact the food systems have on the climate. Environmental communication using climate labels and sharing information on carbon footprints can help reduce GHGs emissions from restaurant purchases on a systemic scale. The aim is to gain insights and study how a carbon label influences the concept of a climate-friendly restaurant and its capacity to bridge the gap between knowledge, awareness, and action. What are the motivations for restaurant employees to adopt climate-friendly behavior? How does the label’s use influence restaurants’ decision to track their carbon footprint over time, communicate the carbon footprint of dishes, and adapt menus to be more climate-friendly? The data were collected with semi-structured interviews with video communication with three restaurant chains, all using labels. The data collected via the interviews were examined using an inductive thematic analysis to identify key themes. The transcending transmission approach to communication was used to gain insights into instrumental and constitutive communication dynamics. As the theoretical framework, ‘symbolic interactionism’ helps untangle constitutive aspects of environmental communication surrounding climate labels to analyze the process of conceptualization through usage, co-creation, and interpretation. The analysis brought forward three main themes: the interactions between the scientific data accessible in the tool and the restaurants. Second, the diverse implications of sustainability marketing for motivating climate actions and what they look like. And finally, climate actions and how they are being apprehended and implemented by the restaurants. The promise of climate labels was discussed by elaborating on socio-cultural dynamics, sustainability marketing, and activism forces and impulses influencing the motivations for restaurants. We then discussed the capacity to transcend information into action through collaboration and inclusiveness to avoid greenwashing. Restaurants have a commercial interest in implementing climate labels in their business and an intrinsic desire to be a company that takes action for the planet because of the restaurants ‘employees’ convictions. However, restaurants find themselves in a tricky situation where they can be criticized if they take ‘wrong’ actions that can be considered greenwashing and criticized if they do nothing. The software enables restaurants to legitimize their actions and communicate them, making them resilient and evolving.

Equity in virtual care: A mixed methods study of perspectives from physicians.

Virtual care expanded rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how this shift affected healthcare disparities among subgroups of patients is of concern. Racial and ethnic minorities, older adults, individuals with less education, and lower-income households have lower rates of home broadband, smartphone ownership, and patient portal adoption, which may directly affect access to virtual care. Because primary care is a major access point to healthcare, perspectives of primary care providers are critical to inform the implementation of equitable virtual care. The aim of this mixed methods study was to explore primary care physician experiences and perceptions of barriers and facilitators to equitable virtual care. We used an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, which consists of first collecting and analyzing quantitative survey data, then using those results to inform a qualitative follow-up phase to explain and expand on results. Primary care physicians in a family medicine department at an academic medical center responded to surveys (n = 38) and participated in interviews (n = 16). Participants completed a survey concerning frequency and preferences about video visits, pros and cons of video visits, communication aspects, and sufficiency of the technology. A purposeful sample of participants completed semi-structured interviews about their virtual care experiences with a focus on equity for subpopulations. The results indicated that physicians have observed equity issues for unique patient populations. The results add to the understanding of nuanced ways in which virtual care can increase and decrease healthcare access for unique populations. Patients with limited English proficiency were particularly affected by inequity in virtual care access. Additional research and interventions are needed to improve portal access for those with limited English proficiency. Improvements should focus on health system interventions that expand access without requiring increased patient burden.

Literature Study of Learning-Based Video Compression

Developments in telecommunications technology today, such as cellular with the fifth generation (5G), the development of IoT prototypes, and the migration of analog TV to digital TV starting in 2022. The development of various research using machine learning. The problem with video format information is that the video file size is quite large, so the transmission process requires a large bandwidth. In addition, sharing services such as Video on Demand (VoD) and Video Broadcasting are sensitive to delay. In comparison, the transmission media has limited capacity, such as terrestrial TV, Ethernet/Fast Ethernet, and wireless cellular data such as 2G, 3G HSPA, 4G, etc. Based on reports from Cisco, the development of internet users has increased by 10% per year, with 80% of total traffic using video. Developments in various video compression standards, such as the most recent H.264 and H.265, produce high-quality, low-bitrate video. Much research has been carried out with various proposed compression methods based on machine learning. Either uses singular block learning based or end-to-end. This research focuses on the literature study of video compression with machine learning.

Disruptive AVT workflows in the age of streaming

Abstract In the last decade, media industries have witnessed a shift in the way audiovisual content is localised, broadcast, and consumed by multifaceted audiences: from traditional linear TV to subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services. While this major shift has been well-documented by media studies scholars (Lotz 2014; Lobato 2017a, 2017b; Storstein Spilker and Colbjørnsen 2020), the overall effect it has had on audiovisual translation (AVT) is relatively under-researched within Translation Studies. Hence, this article aims to delve into the current state of the art of AVT within a mediascape dominated by non-linear over-the-top (OTT) platforms. Drawing on the impact that streaming solutions such as Amazon Prime, Disney+, and Netflix have had on the acceleration of AVT workflows worldwide as a way to localise a high volume of content created to reach global audiences, my analysis focuses on their impact on the way subtitling workflows are managed and turnaround times scheduled. This study focuses on the day-of-broadcast (DOB) model, the media release strategy intended to make audiovisual content available ‘now and everywhere’. The disruptive nature of DOB models in localisation workflows is investigated using a case study, the ad hoc subtitling workflow devised for Netflix’s Chelsea, and analysed using a qualitative research method. The aim is to unveil the practices behind the scenes of the first global talk show subtitled in twenty languages with a turnaround time of only fourteen hours.

Developing A Mobile App With a Human-Centered Design Lens to Improve Access to Mental Health Care (Mentallys Project): Protocol for an Initial Co-Design Process.

Co-design is one of the human-centered design approaches that allows end users to significantly and positively impact the design of mental health technologies. It is a promising approach to foster user acceptance and engagement in digital mental health solutions. Surprisingly, there is a lack of understanding of what co-design is in this field. In this paper, co-design is approached as a cocreation process involving persons with a lived experience of mental health problems, health professionals, and design experts who lead and facilitate the overall creative process. This paper describes an initial co-design research protocol for the development of a mobile app that aims to improve access to mental health care. It highlights the characteristics of a co-design approach in e-mental health rooted in human-centered design and led by design experts alongside health experts. The paper focuses on the first steps (phase 1) of the co-design process of the ongoing Mentallys project. This Mentallys project will be located in Montréal (Quebec, Canada). The method approach will be based on the "method stories," depicting the "making of" this project and reflecting adjustments needed to the protocol throughout the project in specific situations. Phase 1 of the process will focus on the desirability of the app. Targeted participants will include people with a lived experience of mental health problems, peer support workers and clinicians, and 3 facilitators (all design experts or researchers). Web-based sessions will be organized because of the COVID-19 pandemic, using Miro (RealtimeBoard Inc) and Zoom (Zoom Video Communications, Inc). Data collection will be based on the comments, thoughts, and new ideas of participants around the imaginary prototypes. Thematic analysis will be carried out after each session to inform a new version of the prototype. We conducted 2 stages in phase 1 of the process. During stage 1, we explored ideas through group co-design workshops (divergent thinking). Six co-design workshops were held: 2 with only clinicians (n=7), 2 with peer support workers (n=5) and people with a lived experience of mental health problems (n=2), and 2 with all of them (n=14). A total of 6 facilitators participated in conducting activities in subgroups. During stage 2, ideas were refined through 10 dyad co-design sessions (convergent thinking). Stage 2 involved 3 participants (n=3) and 1 facilitator. Thematic analysis was performed after stage 1, while analytic questioning is being performed for stage 2. Both stages allowed several iterations of the prototypes. The design of the co-design process, the leadership of the design expertise throughout the process, and the different forms of co-design activities are key elements in this project. We highly recommend that health researchers partner with professional designers or design researchers who are familiar with co-design. DERR1-10.2196/47220.

A Recommendation System Based on Implicit Data for Internet Protocol Television (IPTV)

IPTV delivers television content over Internet Protocol (IP) networks. Videos On Demand (VOD) is the most popular IPTV, allowing users to freely select from a vast pool of program genres. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce innovative features to attract new users and retain existing ones. For this purpose, IPTV systems typically use VOD recommendation engines. The primary purpose of recommendation systems is to suggest user-relevant items from various items by producing a list of recommendations for each user. In this paper, we introduce an approach to recommendation systems in IPTV. We developed this approach on implicit feedback derived from users’ interaction with movies/series sets, such as how many times they watched a movie and how long they have spent watching specific movies/series. For the previous factors, we tested a variety of recommendation algorithms, content-based, collaborative-based, and hybrid. Then applied the previously mentioned algorithms on real-life big data sets after introducing some modifications to the algorithms, then benchmarked the results on multiple performance metrics. We noticed that the applied changes achieved promising results.

Optimization of web-based physics learning technology through on-demand microlearning video download facility in an internet accessibility variation case

The research aims to see effectiveness through the perception of optimized physics learning web design through the development of on-demand microlearning video download facilities in diverse areas and access devices. Physics learning through web design, despite success in a variety of online learning methods, has major constraints on personalized learning. Individually, students have a variety of access devices and are in areas with a variable learning environment topology towards internet access. Agile development methods were developed to develop on-demand video download features on the physical learning web, and the development results were tested on MI-Ar Raudhah students based on characteristic compatibility. The development of the on-demand and simplified physical learning video download feature using microlearning is very effective for accessing students with varied Internet access devices and topologies.

Nursing students' perception of nursing knowledge: Aqualitative study.

To explore nursing students' perception of nursing knowledge. Qualitative interview study. Semistructured individual interviews with nine nursing students in their third year were conducted via a cloud-based video communication app. Transcriptions were analysed based on Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist for qualitative research was used. The findings show that the participants emphasised that values are the prerequisites of and basis for performing professional nursing. The students found it difficult to define nursing knowledge and to distinguish nursing knowledge from other subjects. The thematic analysis resulted in two themes: values-a prerequisite of nursing knowledge, and nursing knowledge-an umbrella of knowledge. Nursing knowledge seems to be difficult both to clarify and to demarcate for the students. However, the participants considered values to be important and vital to becoming a professional nurse. This study addresses students' perceptions of values, nursing knowledge and what it consists of, and how this is experienced. An understanding of the nursing students' perceptions of what they consider to be important values and how they understand nursing knowledge is important in making the profession clearer and more distinguishable. The impact of this study means that nurse education needs to emphasise a more argumentative and visible education where nursing knowledge and values are more prominent than today. COREQ.

Adapting to Remote Learning during COVID-19: An Engineering Education Approach

With a focus on the problems faced by the education sector, this article shows the main technological tools used by teachers for remote teaching in an engineering education program during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a case study in a Latin American university positioned in the QS World University Ranking, the tools most frequently used for communication, storing information, messaging, and sharing learning videos are described. This study examines engineering’s areas of knowledge, considering that learning them poses a challenge for teaching in virtual environments due to the need to carry out laboratory practices. Using statistical methods, the relationships between the areas of the education program, the teachers’ sociodemographic variables, and the technological tools used to offer online classes during the lockdown are described. The results show that, from the perspective of the teacher and for the field of engineering, the tools with the most significant effect, in sometimes essential for teaching during the pandemic, were those related to the Google platforms, which were used in 75% of the cases for video communication and storage. Meanwhile, with 44 and 56% WhatsApp and Moodle, were the most used for messaging and sharing contents and learning materials.

A Low-Complexity Fast CU Partitioning Decision Method Based on Texture Features and Decision Trees

The rapid advancement of information technology, particularly in artificial intelligence and communication, is driving significant transformations in video coding. There is a steadily increasing demand for high-definition video in society. The latest video coding standard, versatile video coding (VVC), offers significant improvements in coding efficiency compared with its predecessor, high-efficiency video coding (HEVC). The improvement in coding efficiency is achieved through the introduction of a quadtree with nested multi-type tree (QTMT). However, this increase in coding efficiency also leads to a rise in coding complexity. In an effort to decrease the computational complexity of VVC coding, our proposed algorithm utilizes a decision tree (DT)-based approach for coding unit (CU) partitioning. The algorithm uses texture features and decision trees to efficiently determine CU partitioning. The algorithm can be summarized as follows: firstly, a statistical analysis of the new features of the VVC is carried out. More representative features are considered to extract to train classifiers that match the framework. Secondly, we have developed a novel framework for rapid CU decision making that is specifically designed to accommodate the distinctive characteristics of QTMT partitioning. The framework predicts in advance whether the CU needs to be partitioned and whether QT partitioning is required. The framework improves the efficiency of the decision-making process by transforming the partition decision of QTMT into multiple binary classification problems. Based on the experimental results, it can be concluded that our method significantly reduces the coding time by 55.19%, whereas BDBR increases it by only 1.64%. These findings demonstrate that our method is able to maintain efficient coding performance while significantly saving coding time.

HARE: Hybrid ARQ-Based Adaptive Retransmission Control Scheme for Synchronous Multi-Link in Wireless LANs

As the resolution of video becomes high and the number of mobile devices proliferates, the demand for video traffic is exploding. New traffic types, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), which require high-throughput and low-latency, are also emerging. Two of the promising techniques discussed in increasing throughput and lowering latency are multi-link transmission and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). However, in most cases of a device using a low-cost chipset, there are potential limitations to using HARQ on multi-link. This paper proposes a HARQ-based adaptive retransmission control scheme (HARE), which determines the optimal retransmission policy by casting it as a Markov decision process (MDP) for the devices undergoing the aforementioned limitations. Through this, we can decide whether to execute HARQ and select the adequate modulation and coding rate when a retransmission occurs. Through extensive analysis, we found that HARE can greatly increase throughput compared to the ARQ-only and HARQ-only retransmission methods with a small amount of buffer occupancy. This technique expects high-resolution video and brand-new services such as AR/VR to be enjoyed even by the devices with low-cost chipsets.

Incorporating a peer-teaching, virtual, educational activity to teach newly approved medications in a senior seminar capstone course

Background and purposePeer teaching and serious gaming are effective pedagogical approaches to actively engage learners, foster collaboration, and promote student accountability for self-directed learning. Literature describing how students learn about and are assessed on knowledge of newly approved medications is lacking. The objective of this project is to describe the design and implementation of a peer-taught virtual educational gaming activity, assess impact on knowledge of newly approved medications, and describe student perceptions of the activity. Educational activity and settingPharmacy students in the fourth professional year developed and delivered a topic discussion focusing on newly approved medications to peers utilizing a virtual escape room gaming format. The activity was delivered via Zoom, Version 4.6.9 (Zoom Video Communications, Inc). A pre- and post-activity knowledge-based assessment and perception-based questionnaire were administered to participants. Observations regarding teamwork and communication were collected by facilitators. FindingsSixteen students participated in this activity. Mean scores on the knowledge quiz were higher post-activity compared to pre-activity (8.1 vs. 6.3). The activity was perceived positively by participants with 100% of respondents agreeing or strongly agreeing that they “enjoyed the escape room theme for the activity and would recommend it to a friend.” Zoom was perceived an effective platform to deliver this activity. All facilitators observed students working effectively as a team to complete the activity. SummaryVirtual gaming developed and facilitated by peer teachers may be an effective method for delivering educational content and positively influencing student learning.

Telerehabilitation in patients with recent hospitalisation due to acute decompensated heart failure: protocol for the Tele-ADHF randomised controlled trial

BackgroundCardiac rehabilitation in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) has favourable effects on exercise capacity, the risk at hospital (re-)admission and quality of life. Although cardiac rehabilitation is generally recommended it is still under-utilised in daily clinical practice, particularly in frail elderly patients after hospital admission, mainly due to low referral and patient-related barriers. Cardiac telerehabilitation (CTR) has the potential to partially solve these barriers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of CTR as compared to standard remote care after hospital admission on physical functional capacity in CHF patients.MethodsIn this randomised controlled trial, 64 CHF patients will be recruited during hospitalisation for acute decompensated heart failure, and randomised to CTR combined with remote patient management (RPM) or RPM alone (1:1). All participants will start with RPM after hospital discharge for early detection of deterioration, and will be up titrated to optimal medical therapy before being randomised. CTR will start after randomisation and consists of an 18-week multidisciplinary programme with exercise training by physical and occupational therapists, supported by a (remote) technology-assisted dietary intervention and mental health guiding by a physiologist. The training programme consists of three centre-based and two home-based video exercise training sessions followed by weekly video coaching. The mental health and dietary programme are executed using individual and group video sessions. A wrist-worn device enables remote coaching by the physical therapist. The web application is used for promoting self-management by the following modules: 1) goal setting, 2) progress tracking, 3) education, and 4) video and chat communication. The primary outcome measure is physical functional capacity evaluated by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score. Secondary outcome measures include frailty scoring, recovery after submaximal exercise, subjective health status, compliance and acceptance to the rehabilitation programme, and readmission rate.DiscussionThe Tele-ADHF trial is the first prospective randomised controlled trial designed for evaluating the effects of a comprehensive combined RPM and CTR programme in recently hospitalised CHF patients. We hypothesize that this intervention has superior effects on physical functional capacity than RPM alone.Trial registrationNetherlands Trial Registry (NTR) NL9619, registered 21 July 2021.

Research on the Influencing Factors of Social Behavior under Mobile Short-sighted Frequent Broadcasting

As a new form of social media, mobile short video has attracted much attention. However, there is still a lack of research on the influencing factors of mobile short video communication effect. Firstly, this paper introduces the current situation of social behavior development and the future planning of social behavior under mobile short-sighted broadcasting, and then this paper discusses the influencing factors of users' social behavior under mobile short-sighted broadcasting through questionnaire survey and data analysis. The results show that the main factors affecting the short video communication effect are users' sharing behavior, attention behavior, praise behavior and comment behavior, among which sharing behavior contributes the most to the short video communication effect. In the future, the number and scale of mobile short video users will continue to expand, and the influence of users' social behavior on the short video communication effect will be more obvious. Therefore, the platform needs to strengthen the guidance of users' social behavior, improve the communication effect of short videos, let more people share, pay attention to, like and comment, and the content will be more widely spread. In a word, in the end, this paper discusses the influencing factors of social behavior under mobile short-sighted frequent broadcasting, and gives some strategic suggestions and prospects for future development of the platform to guide user behavior. This is of great significance for improving the communication effect of mobile short video, promoting the development of mobile short video industry and promoting user participation.

Healthcare Practitioners' Perspective of Prevailing Awareness on Diabetes Complications: A Questionnaire-Based Pan-India Study.

The increasing prevalence rate of diabetes mellitus (DM) and the associated long-term complications warrant a need to improve awareness of DM-related complications in the Indian population. Our questionnaire-based pan-India study (April 2021-March 2022) aims to capture the observations of healthcare practitioners (HCPs) on the prevailing level of knowledge and awareness regarding diabetes among their patients. We refer to this as the 90:90:90 program. It aims to achieve 90% awareness, 90% screening and detection of diabetes and prediabetes, and 90% achievement of effective treatment and control. A structured questionnaire was circulated to 1800 HCPs using Google Forms (Google,Mountain View, CA) and Zoom poll questions (Zoom Video Communications, Inc.,San Jose, CA) during 125 symposiums. About half (48.6%) of the HCPs observe that less than 40% of their patients are aware of the risk factors of diabetes, and less than 60% of the patients were aware of its cardiovascular complications. About 92-95% of the HCPs recommend screening for diabetes in adults over 30 years of age and suggest the inclusion of a blood glucose estimate as a fifth vital to be tested during doctor visits. Less than 40% of patients fail to achieve the treatment goal, possibly due to lack of adherence, access to medicines, and financial constraints. Therefore, spreading awareness of DM complications and early screening for DM among adults (>30 years) could help achieve better management and treatment outcomes.

Implementing Distance Learning during COVID-19 in Morocco: Pedagogical Gains, Challenges, and Leaners’ Attitudes

Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers and students in Morocco and elsewhere were forced to move from face-to-face instruction to distance learning. Consequently, a plethora of online platforms, including Google Classroom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, and video communication applications, were used as instructional tools. In light of this, the current study investigates the pedagogical gains of implementing distance learning via Microsoft Teams during the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges participants encountered. It also probes English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ attitudes toward the effectiveness of this mode of instruction. The study population was 28 secondary school students who taught English courses distantly for eight weeks. A post-questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data. The findings revealed that most participants identified two pedagogical benefits: the ability to learn at home and flexible learning time. As for the challenges, most participants admitted having no or poor network signal, no connectivity in their devices, technical problems related to Microsoft Teams, reduced interaction with their teachers and peers, and poor learning. Besides, the analysis of the 5-point Likert scale survey indicated that while participants were somehow motivated to attend distance learning English courses, they expressed discomfort, they considered face-to-face learning to be more effective than distance learning, and thus they were unsatisfied with the experience and had no intentions of future use. As a result, the study participants displayed negative attitudes toward the implementation of distance learning

Learning with, about, and from COVID-19: An interprofessional global comparison of pandemic responses

Background and purposeUniversity of Kentucky developed a fully virtual course to educate global health learners about the COVID-19 pandemic and compare country responses to it. Educational activity and settingForty-three students participated in 13 weeks of synchronous interprofessional group meetings via Zoom (Zoom Video Communications, Inc) and asynchronous modules. Interprofessionality was intentional yet implicit, and a flipped classroom was utilized. Assessment was accomplished with one instrument measuring learning outcomes associated with select Consortium of Universities of Global Health Interprofessional Global Health Competencies, Association of American Colleges and Universities Global Learning Value Rubric competencies, and course satisfaction and effectiveness utilizing a retrospective pre−/post-methodology. FindingsPositive pre−/post-change was observed in 10 survey items. Evaluation results concerning course structure and experience were uniformly high, with the key informant interview rated most helpful. Items with significant improvement included a better understanding of the student's place in the world; improved interprofessional communication skills; population health data skills; and understanding of health systems and entities that influence global health and development. Learners appreciated the value of interprofessional teamwork and gained a deeper understanding of the roles and training of colleagues from other programs, leading to a deeper understanding of the actions those professions may take within health systems. SummaryThe pivot to all online global health education was a viable solution to addressing the pause in global travel and study abroad experiences at University of Kentucky.

Perspectives of Rehabilitation Professionals on Implementing a Validated Home Telerehabilitation Intervention for Older Adults in Geriatric Rehabilitation: Multisite Focus Group Study.

Owing to demographic trends and increasing health care costs, quick discharge with geriatric rehabilitation at home is advised and recommended for older adults. Telerehabilitation has been identified as a promising tool to support rehabilitation at home. However, there is insufficient knowledge about how to implement a validated home telerehabilitation system in other contexts. One of the major challenges for rehabilitation professionals is transitioning to a blended work process in which human coaching is supplemented via digital care. The study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of the factors that influence the implementation of an evidence-based sensor monitoring intervention (SMI) for older adults by analyzing the perspectives of rehabilitation professionals working in 2 different health ecosystems and mapping SMI barriers and facilitators. We adopted a qualitative study design to conduct 2 focus groups, 1 in person in the Netherlands during winter of 2017 and 1 on the web via Zoom (Zoom Video Communications; owing to the COVID-19 pandemic) in Canada during winter of 2022, to explore rehabilitation providers' perspectives about implementing SMI. Qualitative data obtained were analyzed using thematic analysis. Participants were a group of rehabilitation professionals in the Netherlands who have previously worked with the SMI and a group of rehabilitation professionals in the province of Manitoba (Canada) who have not previously worked with the SMI but who were introduced to the intervention through a 30-minute web-based presentation before the focus group. The participants expressed different characteristics of the telerehabilitation intervention that contributed to making the intervention successful for at-home rehabilitation: focus on future participation goals, technology support provides the rehabilitation professionals with objective and additional insight into the daily functioning of the older adults at home, SMI can be used as a goal-setting tool, and SMI deepens their contact with older adults. The analysis showed facilitators of and barriers to the implementation of the telerehabilitation intervention. These included personal or client-related, therapist-related, and technology-related aspects. Rehabilitation professionals believed that telerehabilitation could be suitable for monitoring and supporting older adults' rehabilitation at home. To better guide the implementation of telerehabilitation in the daily practice of rehabilitation professionals, the following steps are needed: ensuring that technology is feasible for communities with limited digital health literacy and cognitive impairments, developing instruction tools and guidelines, and training and coaching of rehabilitation professionals.

Feasibility and Acceptability of an Online Oncologist Training to Optimize Oncologist-Patient Communication and Value-Concordant Care in Advanced Cancer.

Introduction: This pilot study tested the feasibility and acceptability of a low-resource-intensive scalable online communication training designed to improve oncologists' skills in prognostic and value-concordant care discussions with advanced cancer patients. Methods: The training consisted of on-demand videos on how to convey prognostic information, manage patient emotions, and elicit patient values and incorporate these values into treatment decision making. Post-intervention, oncologists reported on their perceptions of the training. Results: Fifteen oncologists were enrolled, of whom, 13 completed the training, and 14 completed post-intervention interviews. Most oncologists reported the intervention was acceptable: 92.9% indicated the intervention was "moderately" to "very helpful"; 78.6% rated it as "somewhat" to "very much" impactful on their communication with patients. Conclusions: The present self-paced online communication training was acceptable to oncologists, supporting additional research, including evaluating intervention efficacy for improving oncologists' communication skills and value-concordant care in advanced cancer.
