Visiting Jack: mixed methods evaluation of a virtual home visit curriculum with a child with medical complexity.
This study’s objective was to evaluate the impact of participation in a virtual home visit curriculum on pediatric residents’ confidence, knowledge, and application of knowledge in caring for children with medical complexity (CMC) in the home and community. This prospective pre-post intervention study was conducted in 2019 with first-year pediatric residents using quantitative and qualitative methods. The intervention used was an online video-based curriculum followed by an in-person seminar. Twenty-four residents participated. All reported increased confidence in all aspects of complex care presented in the curriculum. Half of them (12) participated in a follow-up interview or focus group. Four themes identified were: 1) recognizing prior attitudes towards complexity; 2) new mental framework for mental care at home; 3) drivers of behavior change; and 4) commitment to change practice.

eHealth and mHealth interventions in pediatric cancer: a systematic review of interventions across the cancer continuum.
The primary objectives of this study were to (a) identify current published research in electronic health (eHealth) and mobile health (mHealth) interventions for youth undergoing cancer treatment and child, adolescent, and young adult survivors of childhood cancer and (b) critically appraise the current scientific evidence on their effectiveness and efficacy. As an exploratory aim, the investigators identified pediatric cancer patients' and survivors' perceptions, attitudes, and concerns related to eHealth and mHealth interventions.
