Feasibility of a Randomized Controlled Trial of Large AI-Based Linguistic Models for Clinical Reasoning Training of Physical Therapy Students: Pilot Randomized Parallel-Group Study

Feasibility of a Randomized Controlled Trial of Large AI-Based Linguistic Models for Clinical Reasoning Training of Physical Therapy Students: Pilot Randomized Parallel-Group Study

Therefore, the aim of the study is to explore the main barriers and facilitators that could be encountered in conducting a randomized clinical trial to study the effectiveness of the implementation of LLM models as tools to work on the clinical reasoning of physical therapy students. This study was approved by the local ethics committee of the La Salle University Center for Advanced Studies, Madrid, Spain (CSEULS-PI-002/2025). This trial was registered in clinicaltrials.org (NCT06809634).

Evaluating Theory-Driven Messaging to Overcome the Barriers to Meditation: Large-Scale Digital Field Experiment

Evaluating Theory-Driven Messaging to Overcome the Barriers to Meditation: Large-Scale Digital Field Experiment

This data highlights a disconnect between awareness and sustained practice, indicating the importance of understanding the barriers to engagement with meditation. Along these lines, past research has systematically identified the barriers to meditation. Williams et al [15] developed a 17-item survey battery that explored the self-reported barriers to meditating.

Exploring Service Users’ Experiences of a Community-Based Intervention to Improve Follow-Up at Bharatpur Eye Hospital in Nepal: Qualitative Study

We identified 4 key themes that provided invaluable information about the barriers and facilitators to follow-up as well as the experiences (positive or negative) of the participants that need to be considered in any future initiatives to improve follow-up in Nepal. Characteristics of study participants. a Illiterate: unable to read and write in Nepali; primary: up to grade 5; secondary: grades 6 to 10.

Barriers and Facilitators in Diagnostic Pathways That Align Universal Tumor Screening and Mainstream Genetic Testing for Lynch Syndrome in Colorectal Cancer: Protocol for a Scoping Review With a Narrative Synthesis

Barriers and Facilitators in Diagnostic Pathways That Align Universal Tumor Screening and Mainstream Genetic Testing for Lynch Syndrome in Colorectal Cancer: Protocol for a Scoping Review With a Narrative Synthesis

What has been reported about the barriers and facilitators in the implementation of these diagnostic pathways? What are the knowledge gaps regarding the barriers and facilitators in the implementation of these diagnostic pathways? An exploratory search in PROSPERO, the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews of the National Institute for Health Research, and the Cochrane Library revealed no comprehensive systematic reviews addressing similar questions.

Barriers and Facilitators to HIV and Viral Hepatitis Testing in Primary Health Care Settings in the Kyrgyz Republic (BarTest): Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Barriers and Facilitators to HIV and Viral Hepatitis Testing in Primary Health Care Settings in the Kyrgyz Republic (BarTest): Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

While the opportunities are there, also for integrated HIV and viral hepatitis testing [13], more knowledge and data on barriers and facilitators are needed to foster and improve the implementation of testing. Barriers are often described on 3 levels; system level, provider level, and patient level [14-16], but can also be analyzed using various frameworks, including the Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation model [17,18].

Stakeholders and Contextual Factors in the Implementation of Assistive Robotic Arms for Persons With Tetraplegia: Deductive Content Analysis of Focus Group Interviews

Stakeholders and Contextual Factors in the Implementation of Assistive Robotic Arms for Persons With Tetraplegia: Deductive Content Analysis of Focus Group Interviews

The study’s objectives are (1) identifying and involving relevant stakeholders, (2) assessing contextual factors (barriers and facilitators), and (3) proposing an implementation strategy for the robotic arm. A qualitative design was applied, conducting 3 online focus group interviews with representatives from 8 stakeholder groups relevant to the robotic arm’s implementation, aiming to identify barriers and facilitators.

The Use of Mobile Apps in Adolescent Psychotherapy: Assessment of Psychotherapists’ Perspectives

The Use of Mobile Apps in Adolescent Psychotherapy: Assessment of Psychotherapists’ Perspectives

Like the development of the LAMH model, previous research on drivers and barriers has primarily focused on the theoretical perspectives of psychotherapists [9,24,44,45,47]. Furthermore, due to the limited or nonexistent use of apps in psychotherapy [37,39], little is known about the actual barriers and drivers influencing the integration of MHAs into psychotherapists’ working routines. Therefore, gaining a more practical understanding of these factors is essential.

Barriers and Determinants of Referral Adherence in AI-Enabled Diabetic Retinopathy Screening for Older Adults in Northern India During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Mixed Methods Pilot Study

Barriers and Determinants of Referral Adherence in AI-Enabled Diabetic Retinopathy Screening for Older Adults in Northern India During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Mixed Methods Pilot Study

Patients faced barriers to follow-up eye exams, including transportation issues, high costs, and long wait times [23]. Programs such as a point-of-care DR examination program highlight the potential of telemedicine in reducing barriers to DRS, though adherence to follow-up recommendations after screening remains a major challenge [24]. However, some factors (individual, health) influencing adherence and nonadherence to referral services remain unknown [25].

Preclinical Medical Students' Perspectives and Experiences With Structured Web-Based English for Medical Purposes Courses: Cross-Sectional Study

Preclinical Medical Students' Perspectives and Experiences With Structured Web-Based English for Medical Purposes Courses: Cross-Sectional Study

Barriers to web-based learning were considered [49]. More details regarding the development of EMP courses are provided in Multimedia Appendix 1. The EMP courses were uploaded to a customized web-based learning management system (LMS) developed by our medical school [29]. Each EMP course ran throughout the semester for approximately 48 weeks, and the students’ learning schedule was approximately 3 hours per week.
