Article Abstract
Therapist attributes are known to contribute to positive therapeutic outcomes and are important to effective training and clinical practice. Although well researched in psychology and play therapy, few studies have directly explored music therapist attributes. To explore and understand these descriptions, we conducted a secondary analysis of parent interview data from a multisite trial investigating a music therapist-delivered intervention for young children with cancer and their parents. We used qualitative descriptive analysis to identify music therapists' attributes as described by parents who participated in the intervention. Our inductive analysis of 28 interviews revealed 135 descriptors of music therapists. We discovered that these descriptions grouped naturally using essential therapist attributes of supportive, attuned, and nonjudgemental, as identified in the extant literature. This analysis highlights music therapists' attributes perceived as central to their work with parents and young children in cancer settings.

Background: Despite high post-implementation adherence, clinicians may have unresolved questions or concerns regarding use of a protocol to standardize routine daily coordination of the spontaneous awakening trial (SAT) and spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) on ventilated patients. Unresolved questions or concerns may unwittingly curtail practice normalization, impacting practice sustainment when implementation support is withdrawn. The objective of this study was to identify unresolved questions or concerns that may persist following successful implementation of a coordinated SAT/SBT (C-SAT/SBT) protocol.

Background: Occupational therapy has highlighted the necessity for planning and executing interventions in collaboration with clients, families, and caregivers to facilitate their progress. Thus, in pediatric occupational therapy, it is essential to position the family as a primary client and to actively involve them in the intervention process. These interventions often incorporate tools that facilitate parental engagement in home-based activities.

Background: Health care costs are rising rapidly in Western societies. Understanding the benefits and costs of care is crucial to maintaining or improving existing health care systems. We propose an instrument that provides a clear overview of both the costs and returns of a treatment to improve the quality of care while keeping the costs affordable.

Introduction: Successful handwriting is dependent on accurate and efficient letter formation, which is dependent on drawing sub-strokes of letters and prewriting patterns. Currently, there is no prewriting intervention programmes with established efficacy, and little is known about children's perceptions of engaging in these programmes. This study aimed to determine the efficacy and feasibility of a prewriting intervention.

Background: Manual therapy (MT) is a widely utilized approach for managing musculoskeletal pain and functional disorders, particularly through joint mobilizations. Traditionally explained by immediate biomechanical processes, a paradigm shift has occurred in the last few decades, recognizing neurophysiological mechanisms as crucial contributors.
Objectives: To evaluate whether this shift is also reflected by clinicians, this study explores the beliefs and perceptions of physical therapists regarding the mechanisms underlying MT through an online survey design.
