Summary: Adaptive leadership is crucial in advancing person-centred care, by separating technical solutions from adaptive solutions, addressing key assumptions that may limit motivation for change, and creating a supportive organizational context. Patients, caregivers, care providers, and organizational leaders all play a role as adaptive leaders in this endeavor.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between leadership, person-centred care, and stress of conscience in nursing homes. Results show that leadership is associated with higher levels of person-centered care and lower levels of stress of conscience among staff. Additionally, person-centered care is also linked to lower stress of conscience. Leadership characterized by coaching, feedback, teamwork, conflict resolution, idea experimentation, and individualized work control can lead to reduced staff stress and improved person-centred care provision.

Factors such as sufficient income, high self-efficacy, supportive partners, and younger age were positively related to physical quality of life, while older age, being partnered, higher education, increased self-efficacy, and better health partners were positively associated with mental quality of life.

Summary: Health professionals are calling for efficient tools to engage patients in managing their illnesses, with mobile health (mHealth) seen as a promising approach. However, the potential benefits of combining health-coaching with mHealth are still unclear. The preference for physical interactions over telecommunication among patients suggests a need to prioritize human contact and explore more personalized health technology.

Summary: This study investigated gender differences in barriers to participation in after-school physical activity among Australian schoolchildren. It found that girls reported more barriers than boys, and being overweight and having poor health were associated with more barriers. Gender- and age-specific after-school PA programs suitable for students of all body shapes and abilities are needed to increase participation.
