A Virtual Simulator to Improve Weight-Related Communication Skills for Health Care Professionals: Mixed Methods Pre-Post Pilot Feasibility Study

A Virtual Simulator to Improve Weight-Related Communication Skills for Health Care Professionals: Mixed Methods Pre-Post Pilot Feasibility Study

For weight-related communication, where misalignment between HCP intention and patient perception is common [26-28], virtual simulation tools offer a safe space to surface and reflect on these tensions. VITAL-COMS (Virtual Training and Assessment for Communication Skills) was developed to address the misalignments between HCPs and patients when discussing weight.

We thank Bhatti and Bhatti [1] for their positive feedback and agree with their recommendations to incorporate policy-level contextual factors in future iterations of the virtual follow-up (VFU) program theory. Participants’ discussion of systemic and structural factors influencing VFU use was limited, likely due to the sociodemographic makeup of the sample [2].

Equity-Centered Optimization of Virtual Cancer Survivorship Care

Equity-Centered Optimization of Virtual Cancer Survivorship Care

We commend Scruton et al [1] for their realist evaluation of virtual follow-up (VFU) care experiences among breast and prostate cancer survivors. The study advances our understanding of contextual factors that influence VFU effectiveness and patient satisfaction. However, we offer critical reflections to strengthen equity-centered implementation of telehealth in survivorship care.

Virtual Diabetes Prevention Program Tailored to Increase Participation of Black and Latino Men: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Virtual Diabetes Prevention Program Tailored to Increase Participation of Black and Latino Men: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

The delivery of Power-Up includes a men-only, virtual, group-based model with men as coaches and an NDPP curriculum designed to be attentive to the concerns and needs of men. Virtual DPP is defined as a DPP program delivered remotely as synchronous classes through a videoconferencing platform. The intervention will be delivered virtually to participants recruited through clinical settings and available in English and Spanish.

Income-Based Disparities in Perceived Benefits and Challenges of Virtual Global Health Activities During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Mixed Methods Analysis

Participants mentioned that although virtual activities are helpful, the in-person connection was irreplaceable and that virtual activities did not provide the same benefits regarding hands-on experience, on-the-ground perspective, relationship building, and understanding of local needs. One participant pointed out the following: For me, it lacks elements of the full experience.

Association of Virtual Nurses’ Workflow and Cognitive Fatigue During Inpatient Encounters: Cross-Sectional Study

A key consideration in implementing this emerging care delivery model is understanding workflow design, which protects virtual nurses from the unintended consequences of continuous virtual patient encounters [15].

Online-Based and Technology-Assisted Psychiatric Education for Trainees: Scoping Review

Online-Based and Technology-Assisted Psychiatric Education for Trainees: Scoping Review

Interest in a virtual patient as an education tool for psychiatric training emerged in the 2000s and 2010s, and facilitated more immersive learning. Within this period, 2 types of virtual patients were studied: artificial intelligence (AI)-driven virtual patients and rule-based virtual patients. Kenny et al [29] and Pataki et al [30] described the use of an AI-driven virtual patient to simulate an adolescent patient with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (“Justina”).
