Summary: This study investigated people's moral judgments and trait perception regarding a healthcare agent's response to a patient who refuses medication. The study manipulated variables including the type of healthcare agent (human vs. robot), health message framing, and ethical decision to examine their effects on moral judgments and traits perception. The results showed that moral acceptance was higher when the agents respected autonomy, and moral responsibility and perceived warmth were higher for human agents. Agents who prioritized beneficence/nonmaleficence and framed health gains were also perceived as more trustworthy. These findings contribute to understanding moral judgments in healthcare mediated by both human and artificial agents.

Summary: This study examines the range and complexity of ethical dilemmas encountered by surgeons in their daily practice. It reveals that although existing ethical guidelines capture many dilemmas, there are still situations, particularly those related to the pressure to provide unnecessary care, that are not well addressed. The findings suggest the need for a dedicated surgical ethics curriculum to better equip surgeons in navigating ethical challenges.

Summary: Achieving rigour is a challenge in qualitative research, and despite efforts in triangulating data, methods, researchers, and theory, coding aspects are often overlooked. Incorporating methodology from other disciplines, such as legal science, can improve and make technical triangulation more transparent. Within qualitative tourism research, utilizing legal canons, particularly the "Savigny Canons," can provide a structured approach to interpretation. Given the interdisciplinary nature of tourism, this approach is proposed for qualitative research in the field.

Summary: Even during a pandemic, there are conflicts of interest between individuals and society. Actions that prioritize patients' interests may have negative economic implications for the State, leading to illogical and inhumane strategies that are mistrusted by the public. Social media sentiments on vaccinations often reflect this dilemma. The article emphasizes the need for individual consideration in difficult decisions and recognizes the lack of universally acceptable ethical solutions.

Summary: This article addresses the methodological challenges and ethical dilemmas faced in qualitative research with orphanage youth and incarcerated women in Ukraine. The discussed dilemmas include methodological relevance, credibility and reliability, flexibility, constrained freedom, limited privacy, researcher identity as a burden, and complicated reciprocity. These reflections and lessons learned from the author's qualitative research aim to guide upcoming scholars and graduate students who often feel unprepared to conduct emotionally intense research with vulnerable populations.

Summary: The aim of this study was to explore the ethical dilemmas that arise from the dual role of nurse-researcher. Through qualitative interviews with 15 nurse-researchers, the study identified three themes of nurse-researcher role definitions: primarily nurse, primarily researcher, and combined nurse-researcher. The study found that primarily nurses or primarily researchers experienced conflict and developed less effective coping strategies, while combined nurse-researchers reported that each role nourished the other.

Summary: The accuracy and reliability of eXplainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods are important for their credibility and use in complex decision-making tasks. Existing XAI methods lack information about the correctness and reliability of their outputs. Our proposed Belief-Rule-Based (BRB) framework addresses these drawbacks by providing a step-by-step glass-box explanation of how a particular decision is reached, considering different possible permutations of the inputs and their influence.

Summary: Technology education research is a growing field, and maintaining credibility and replicability is crucial. A z-curve analysis of quantitative research in technology education since 1983 found that authors often mis-report p-values, leading to decision errors in statistical inference. While 55.7% of reported results were estimated to be replicable, there is an increasing need to identify studies with high replication value, particularly between 2010 and 2020.

Results showed that students' resilience levels at different levels contributed to decreasing strain symptoms, with individual trait resilience, relational coping strategies, university readiness, and national policymakers' trust all playing a role. The study suggests that nursing students' resilience is a flexible resource that can be developed through training and support at various levels, including the university and national policymaking.

Summary: This article presents a qualitative study that explores the challenges, skills, and therapeutic goals of medical clowns in pediatrics. The study identified 40 different skills that medical clowns possess, extending beyond humor and entertainment. It also revealed four main therapeutic goals, including building relationships, managing emotions, enhancing a sense of control, and motivating treatment adherence. The findings clarify the role and actions of medical clowns, aiding healthcare professionals in recognizing their practices and potentially applying similar skills in their own work.

Summary: This qualitative study explored fatalistic beliefs and cancer causal attributions among individuals without cancer. The study involved 30 Israeli participants aged 51-70 from diverse sociocultural backgrounds, who participated in four focus groups. The findings revealed three main themes, highlighting the variability in fatalistic beliefs about cancer occurrence and outcome, the duality in attributing causality to divine providence and luck or chance, and the link between distinct fatalistic beliefs and health behaviors. The data analysis expanded the understanding of cancer fatalism as a multidimensional construct, showing how interactions between causality attribution and different fatalistic beliefs are associated with prevention and screening behaviors.

Summary: This study aims to explore students' observations in physicians' breaking bad news interactions and identify dimensions and patterns within them. Through qualitative analysis of 156 written narrative descriptions of bad news encounters written by senior medical students, three dimensions were identified: providing information, dealing with emotions, and discussing treatment plans. These dimensions were observed in different proportions, identifying four communication patterns. Half of the encounters focused solely on presenting a treatment plan, communicating the bad news abruptly while neglecting to share information or address emotions.

The findings reveal that dietary changes made by patients with MS after diagnosis are a coping mechanism to address uncertainty, fear of disease progression, and the risk of relapse. The admiration and skepticism towards extremist MS diets depend on individual vulnerability and support from healthcare professionals. The unique MS journey influences the interpretation of the messages, driven by engagement, practicality, and credibility.

Summary: This study examined how language choices made by call handlers affect the progress of complaint calls and the stance of the callers. The findings showed that displaying affiliation at relevant moments in the conversation helps advance the call and de-escalate the complaint, while the absence or misplacement of affiliation may lead to escalation. Early intervention in establishing affiliation with the caller's concerns and reasoning is crucial for de-escalation.

Summary: This paper aims to understand the facilitators and barriers perceived by general practice physicians in initiating anticipatory guidance around firearm safety. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 18 GPs to explore their perspectives. Barriers to providing secure firearm storage counseling include inadequate screening mechanisms, limited understanding of who is at risk for firearm injury, time pressures, concerns about patient receptivity, and a need for training. Structural issues need to be addressed before focusing on how to have conversations about firearm safety.

Summary: This study summarizes the recent evidence on the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of videoconference group-based patient and caregiver education. The results suggest that this education approach is highly feasible and acceptable, and may improve health outcomes for participants. However, the evidence of effectiveness is limited and the quality of studies varies. Further research is needed to establish the effectiveness of this education approach for different patient and caregiver groups.
