Summary: This study conducted a meta-ethnography to identify and synthesize guidance for optimizing feedback interactions in undergraduate clinical communication simulations. The findings led to the development of a new Feedback Kidney Model, which can guide medical education and future research on feedback in promoting learning. Incorporating meta-cognitive training and utilizing the model can help improve students' learning and communication with patients through on-site face-to-face feedback.

Summary: This study explores the interpretation of MS-targeted nutrition messages using semi-structured interviews. 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.
