Heart failure (HF) care providers are gatekeepers for patients to appropriately access lifesaving HF clinics.
Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate referring providers' perceptions regarding referral to HF clinics, including the impact of provider specialty and the coronavirus disease pandemic.
Methods
An exploratory, sequential design was used in this mixed-methods study. For the qualitative stage, semistructured interviews were performed with a purposive sample of HF providers eligible to refer (ie, nurse practitioners, cardiologists, internists, primary care and emergency medicine physicians) in Ontario. Interviews were conducted via Microsoft Teams. Transcripts were analyzed concurrently by 2 researchers independently using NVivo, using a deductive-thematic approach. Then, a cross-sectional survey of similar providers across Canada was undertaken via REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture), using an adapted version of the Provider Attitudes toward Cardiac Rehabilitation and Referral scale.
Results
Saturation was achieved upon interviewing 7 providers. Four themes arose: knowledge about clinics and their characteristics, providers' clinical expertise, communication and relationship with their patients, and clinic referral process and care continuity. Seventy-three providers completed the survey. The major negative factors affecting referral were skepticism regarding clinic benefit (4.1 ± 0.9/5), a bad patient experience and believing they are better equipped to manage the patient (both 3.9). Cardiologists more strongly endorsed clarity of referral criteria, referral as normative and within-practice referral supports as supporting appropriate referral versus other professionals (Ps \< .02), among other differences. One-third (n = 13) reported the pandemic impacted their referral practices (eg, limits to in-person care, patient concerns).
Conclusion
Although there are some legitimate barriers to appropriate clinic referral, greater provider education and support could facilitate optimal patient access.},

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.},

abstract = {Background
Among social media (SoMe) platforms, Twitter and YouTube have gained popularity, facilitating communication between cardiovascular professionals and patients. This mixed methods 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 posts using the hashtags “#heartfailure”, “#HF”, or “#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 source profiles. The publications provided 1,194 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 over 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%).
Conclusion
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 content on research promotion, research collaboration, and professional advocacy than YouTube.
