Objective: To systematically analyse health coaching strategies in transition care and synthesise the effect of these strategies on health care outcomes for stroke survivors.
Methods: A systematic search of nine databases in two languages was conducted. Meta-analysis was conducted when data were available.
Results: Twenty-five randomised controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis revealed that health coaching strategies in transition care interventions significantly improve quality of life (QoL) (p < 0.001), activities of daily living (ADL) (p = 0.002) and reduce depression (p = 0.001) for stroke survivors at 3 months. Further subgroup analysis demonstrated that transition care interventions with a greater number of health coaching strategies are associated with a larger effect size on QoL (SMD=1.15) and ADL (SMD=1.177) at 3 months, and a medium effect size (SMD=0.674) on depression reduction. However, the effects of health coaching strategies on readmission, mortality and falls in stroke survivors remain inconclusive.
Conclusions: This review provides evidence that incorporating health coaching strategies in transitional care improves health outcomes of stroke survivors.
Practice Implication: More trials of health coaching interventions to improve transition care with a rigorous study design are much needed to address the lack of support for stroke survivors and their caregivers in this crucial care period.

Teleproctoring offers a remote alternative to traditional surgical mentoring, addressing logistical barriers in robotic surgery education. We conducted a prospective trial to assess the feasibility and trainee perception of teleproctoring using the Proximie platform. Eighteen surgeons with limited robotic experience performed a standardized enterotomy closure on synthetic bowel models using the da Vinci Si system, while receiving real-time remote guidance from an expert located 2570 km away.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of mortality in Arkansas, West Virginia, and Oklahoma, underscoring the need for approaches to build primary care capacity to address CVD in these states.
Methods: The "ECHO+" model integrates a CVD-focused tele-education course with quality improvement (QI) training and coaching to empower rural primary care providers (PCPs) in diagnosing and managing CVD effectively.
Results: 41 clinicians participated in the program.

Introduction: Radiographer turnover poses a major challenge for healthcare systems, especially in low-to-middle-income countries like the Philippines. Shortages are worsened by low licensure pass rates, limited career advancement, and uneven workforce distribution. This study offers the first model-based analysis of turnover intention predictors among Filipino radiographers, addressing a critical gap in allied health workforce research.

Introduction: Advanced practice providers (APPs), including physician assistants and nurse practitioners, benefit from structured onboarding curricula as they transition into specialty practice. These programs aim to enhance evidence-based knowledge, clinical skills, and core competencies, ultimately improving provider competency and health care quality. This scoping review seeks to map the existing literature on specialty-focused APP onboarding practices and identify knowledge gaps.

This study explored the impact of a curriculum-embedded health coaching program on student professionalism. We compared physical therapy students who participated in a coaching program (n=79) to a control group who did not (n=70). We analyzed differences between the two groups and examined the association of group to achievement of better performance ratings.
