Summary: The study evaluated the feasibility and safety of office-based lower airway endoscopy in patients, with laryngomalacia being the most common diagnosis with relatively high overall ease. While there may be differences in visualizing the trachea between different types of laryngomalacia, this did not reach statistical significance overall.

Summary: The program proposing real-time observation and video-based coaching to teach clinician communication skills showed high feasibility and acceptability ratings among clinicians. Clinicians found the coaches credible and supportive, feedback useful, video-clips helpful for self-reflection, same-day feedback beneficial, and real patient interactions preferred over standardized patients. Video-based coaching is an effective and timely way for clinicians to learn new communication skills.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that patients on acute psychiatric wards desire more psychosocial treatment than they receive, and currently there is a lack of evidence-based interventions tailored to this setting. Metacognitive Training for psychosis (MCT) has been adapted to meet this demand and is called MCT-Acute, which is a flexible and easy-to-administer group therapy. A study conducted MCT-Acute on a locked acute ward and found that most patients evaluated it positively and reported symptom stabilization. Staff also reported improvement in functioning. Conducting MCT-Acute is feasible and safe and may contribute to meeting the demands for more evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions in acute psychiatric care.

Summary: Infant-parent interaction is crucial for language learning, but hearing loss poses risks to language development by affecting the quality of communication for deaf infants. Family support in the United Kingdom varies greatly. This study developed and tested an instructional video intervention to standardize and tailor family support, showing positive feasibility and acceptability among parents. The intervention was refined based on feedback from parents and professionals, providing a potential standardized intervention to support communication in routine practice.

Summary: This study demonstrates the feasibility and acceptability of two brief, self-guided video-based lessons (microinterventions) for adolescents in school classrooms. These lessons use psychological techniques to address appearance pressures as a key risk factor for eating disorders. The findings support further evaluation of their effectiveness and the development of accessible and gender-inclusive tools for busy schools.

Summary: This paper introduces an online video annotation tool that improves teachers' motivating style. The tool was tested by both pre- and in-service physical education teachers and showed high acceptance and usability. It stimulated reflection on teachers' motivating style, although some expressed concerns about the time required for its use. Proposed solutions were given, and both groups of teachers agreed that the online tool could complement traditional self-reflection methods in teacher training programs.
