Objective: This study explores Canadian patients’ and caregivers’ experiences of to access transplant care and how patients and caregivers define home. The study's goal is to gain insights from the patient and caregiver experience and identify opportunities to improve the experience for those who relocate to access heart transplants. The research question was: How is the concept of home connected to the heart transplant journey?
Methods: We conducted 18 interviews with advanced heart failure patients and caregivers, to explore patient and caregiver experiences of relocating to access transplant care. Patients and caregivers ranged in ages from 20′s to 60′s and had left their home of origin to move to a new location where medical care was available. 7 patients were male, 3 were female. All caregivers were female.
Results: Patients and caregivers identified three supports during relocation: other patients and caregivers, medical team and family. Patients and caregivers defined home as friends, family, community, warmth, safety, belonging and comfort.
Conclusion
During relocation, patients and caregivers were supported by: other patients and caregivers, their medical team and family, and how these people made them feel: safe, warm, comfortable and that they belonged is how they defined home. The supports and definitions of home are connected; thus, a sense of home is inextricably linked to the transplant journey for patients and caregivers.},

abstract = {Background:
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a leading cause of hospital admission in North America. Many patients with ACS experience challenges after discharge that impact their clinical outcomes and psychosocial well-being. Text messaging has the potential to provide support to patients during this post-discharge period.
Objective:
This study pilot-tested a 60-day text-messaging intervention (Txt2Prevent) for patients with ACS. The primary objective was to compare self-management domains between usual care and usual care plus Txt2Prevent. The secondary objectives were to compare medication adherence, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, and healthcare resource use between groups. The third objective was to assess the feasibility of the study protocol and the acceptability of the intervention.
Methods:
This was a randomized controlled trial with blinding of outcome assessors. We recruited 76 patients with ACS from St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, Canada and randomized them to one of two groups within seven days of discharge. The Txt2Prevent program included automated one-way text messages about follow-up care, self-management and healthy living. Data was collected during the index admission and at 60-days after randomization. The primary outcome was measured with the Health Education Impact Questionnaire (heiQ). Other outcomes included the EQ-5D-5L, EQ visual analogue scale, Sullivan Cardiac Self-Efficacy Scale, Morisky Medication Adherence Scale and self-reported healthcare resource use. Analyses of covariance were used to test the effect of group assignment on follow-up scores (controlling for baseline) and were considered exploratory in nature. Feasibility was assessed with descriptive characteristics of the study protocol. Acceptability was assessed with two survey questions and semi-structured interviews.
Results:
There were no statistically significant differences between the groups for the heiQ domains (adjusted mean difference: health directed activity: \textendash0.13 [95% confidence interval (CI): \textendash0.39-0.13]; positive and active engagement in life: 0.03 [95% CI: \textendash0.19-0.25]; emotional distress: 0.04 [95% CI: \textendash0.22-0.29]; self-monitoring and insight: 0.14 [95% CI: \textendash0.33-0.05]; constructive attitudes and approaches: \textendash0.10 [95% CI: \textendash0.36- 0.17]; skill technique and acquisition: 0.05 [95% CI: \textendash0.18-0.27]; social integration and support: \textendash0.12 [95% CI: \textendash0.34-0.19]; health services navigation: \textendash0.05 [95% CI: \textendash0.29-0.19]). For the secondary outcomes, there were no statistically significant differences in adjusted analyses except in one self-efficacy domain (‘Total Plus’), where the Txt2Prevent group had lower scores (mean difference: \textendash0.36 [95% CI: \textendash0.66 to -0.50]). The study protocol was feasible although recruitment took longer than expected. Over 90% of participants reported they were satisfied with the program.
Conclusions:
The Txt2Prevent study was feasible to implement; however, although exploratory, there were no differences between the two groups in adjusted analyses except for one self-efficacy domain. As the intervention appeared acceptable, there is potential in using text messages in this context. The design of the intervention may need to be reconsidered to have more impact on outcome measures.

The primary objective was to compare self-management domains between usual care and usual care plus Txt2Prevent. The secondary objectives were to compare medication adherence, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, and healthcare resource use between groups. The third objective was to assess the feasibility of the study protocol and the acceptability of the intervention.
Methods:
This was a randomized controlled trial with blinding of outcome assessors. We recruited 76 patients with ACS from St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, Canada and randomized them to one of two groups within seven days of discharge. The Txt2Prevent program included automated one-way text messages about follow-up care, self-management and healthy living. Data was collected during the index admission and at 60-days after randomization. The primary outcome was measured with the Health Education Impact Questionnaire (heiQ). Other outcomes included the EQ-5D-5L, EQ visual analogue scale, Sullivan Cardiac Self-Efficacy Scale, Morisky Medication Adherence Scale and self-reported healthcare resource use. Analyses of covariance were used to test the effect of group assignment on follow-up scores (controlling for baseline) and were considered exploratory in nature. Feasibility was assessed with descriptive characteristics of the study protocol. Acceptability was assessed with two survey questions and semi-structured interviews.
Results:
There were no statistically significant differences between the groups for the heiQ domains (adjusted mean difference: health directed activity: –0.13 [95% confidence interval (CI): –0.39-0.13]; positive and active engagement in life: 0.03 [95% CI: –0.19-0.25]; emotional distress: 0.04 [95% CI: –0.22-0.29]; self-monitoring and insight: 0.14 [95% CI: –0.33-0.05]; constructive attitudes and approaches: –0.10 [95% CI: –0.36- 0.17]; skill technique and acquisition: 0.05 [95% CI: –0.18-0.27]; social integration and support: –0.12 [95% CI: –0.34-0.19]; health services navigation: –0.05 [95% CI: –0.29-0.19]). For the secondary outcomes, there were no statistically significant differences in adjusted analyses except in one self-efficacy domain (‘Total Plus’), where the Txt2Prevent group had lower scores (mean difference: –0.36 [95% CI: –0.66 to -0.50]). The study protocol was feasible although recruitment took longer than expected. Over 90% of participants reported they were satisfied with the program.
Conclusions:
The Txt2Prevent study was feasible to implement; however, although exploratory, there were no differences between the two groups in adjusted analyses except for one self-efficacy domain. As the intervention appeared acceptable, there is potential in using text messages in this context. The design of the intervention may need to be reconsidered to have more impact on outcome measures.

Objectives: To assess the acceptability of and users’ experiences with a pilot SMS intervention that aims to support patients with ACS after discharge.
Methods: Seventy-six participants were recruited as inpatients and were randomized at discharge to receive usual care or a 60-day SMS program that included automated one-way messages with information on follow-up care, self-management and healthy living. We
conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 participants who received the messages. Using thematic analysis, we identified themes regarding the program’s design, user engagement, and the program’s impact.
Results: Overall, participants liked the design and 90% indicated they were satisfied or very satisfied with the program. Many stated they looked forward to the messages and 95% read all the messages indicating high engagement. Perceived impacts of the program included making participants feel their recovery process was normal, feeling as if they were receiving social support, and reinforcing that they were on the right track. However, some participants did not feel they benefited much and as such did not change their behaviours.
Conclusion: The SMS program was well received and acceptable to most participants; however, not all felt that it impacted their recovery.},

Objective: This mixed method systematic review aimed to assess the source profile and content of Twitter and YouTube posts about heart failure (HF).
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase and Medline using the terms "cardiology," "social media," and "heart failure." We included full-text manuscripts published between January 1, 1999 and April 14, 2019. We searched Twitter and YouTube for posts using the hashtags "#heartfailure", "#HF", "#CHF" on May 15, 2019 and July 6, 2019. We performed a descriptive analysis of the data.
Results: Three publications met inclusion criteria, providing 677 tweets for source profile analysis; institutions (54.8%), health professionals (26.6%), and patients (19.4%) were the most common sources profiles. The publications provided 1194 tweets for content analysis: 83.3% were on education of professionals; 33.7% on patient empowerment; and 22.3% on research promotion. Our search of Twitter and YouTube generated 2,252 tweets and \>400 videos, of which we analyzed 260 tweets and 260 videos. Sources included institutions (53.5% Twitter, 64.2% YouTube), health professionals (42.3%, 28.5%), and patients (4.2%, 7.3%). Content included education of professionals (39.2% Twitter, 62.3% YouTube), patient empowerment (20.4%, 21.9%), research promotion (28.8%, 13.1%), advocacy of professionals (5.8%, 2.7%), and research collaboration (5.8%, 0%).
Conclusions: Twitter and YouTube are platforms for knowledge translation in HF, with contributions from institutions, health professionals, and less commonly, patients. Both focus largely on education of professionals and less commonly, on patient empowerment. Twitter includes more research promotion, research collaboration, and professional advocacy than YouTube.

abstract = {Purpose
The disruption caused by the pandemic declaration and subsequent public health measures put in place have had a substantial effect on teachers’ abilities to support student engagement in technology education (TE). The purpose of this paper is to explore the following research question: How do TE teachers see emergency remote teaching (ERT) transitions to blended learning into the next academic year affecting their profession?
Design/methodology/approach
A snowball and convenience sampling design was used to recruit specialist teachers in TE through their professional organization and were asked to respond to the question: What are your concerns about the future of teaching TE remotely? The qualitative data collected from the participants (N = 42) was analyzed thematically (Braun and Clarke, 2006).
Findings
The analysis revealed that the switch to ERT impacted the teachers’ ability to support hands-on competency development owing to inequitable student access to tools, materials and resources, all of which affected student motivation and engagement. As a result, teachers raised questions about the overall effectiveness of online learning approaches and TE’s future and sustainability if offered completely online.
Originality/value
This research is the first of its kind exploring the experiences of TE teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In answer to the challenges identified by teachers, the authors offer a blended learning design framework informed by pandemic transformed pedagogy that can serve as a model for educators to use when designing blended instruction.},

(coach and athlete) feelings, thoughts, and behaviors
are mutually and causally interdependent (Jowett & Meek,
2000).Research has shown that the athletes’ perceptions of
their coaches’ behaviors have an impact on academics, performance,
actions, leadership, morals, and beliefs (Horn,
Bloom, Berglund, & Packard, 2011; Jowett & Cockerill,
2003;); plausibly, athletes can be manipulated by the coachathlete
relationship (Felton & Jowett, 2013; Philippe, Sagar,
Huguet, Paquet, & Jowett, 2011).
