... The authors suggest that the physician's belief system informs and is informed by their self-concepts of identity which are in turn rooted in their self-concepts of personhood -how they conceive what makes them who they are [11]. This posit not only ties reflective practice to the shaping of the physician's moral and ethical compass but also offers evidence of it's role in their professional identity formation (PIF) [8,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. With PIF [8,24] occupying a central role in medical education, these ties underscore the critical importance placed on integrating reflective practice in medical training. ...

... These findings provide novel insight into a structured framework that may help guide the experiences, training, assessment, and oversight of peer-mentors beyond the auspices of our local program. These general observations will equip host organizations with the direction they need to take in designing and executing peer-mentoring training and assessment Introduction A shortage of experienced clinical mentors [1], changing mentoring and clinical practice, and shifting expectations upon mentees, mentors and mentoring relationships particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic [2][3][4][5] has seen mentoring programs struggle [6]. Traditional concepts of dyadic relationships between an experienced and trained physician and a medical student or junior doctor have come under scrutiny over their ability to contend with raising concerns over gaps in structure [7,8], assessment and oversight [9] of mentoring relationships and the mentoring environment [10,11]. ...

... One publication presented data regarding the appropriateness of an ePRO application [29]. Two articles compared the properties of the FACT-B (disease-specific measure) with that of a general HRQoL measure, the EQ-5D [25,28]. ...

... (2) Measured by the validated Chinese version of the brief pain inventory (BPI-C) (Wang et al. 1996), which is the most commonly used assessment scale in measuring the severity of pain symptoms in cancer patients. (3) Healthrelated quality of life was calculated using the validated Chinese version of the quality of life measurement scale for breast cancer patients (FACT-B) (Wan et al. 2007;Ng et al. 2012), which reaches a composite index score reflecting the disease-specific health-related quality of life scores in the physical, social/family, emotional, functional, and additional concerns dimensions. ...

... The ic-mt and gc-mt groups received eight 40-minute sessions of cmt over 2 weeks in addition to oncotherapy and usual care; the ctrl group received only oncotherapy and usual care. Patients were assessed at baseline and 2 weeks later using the Cancer Coping Modes Questionnaire (ccmq) 30 , the Psychological Adjustment Scale for Cancer Patients (pascp) 31 , and the Functional Living Index-Cancer (flic) [32][33][34] . At 12 and 24 months after the intervention, individual telephone interviews were conducted to investigate the global psychological and somatic status and length of life of patients in the study groups. ...

... To circumvent the shortage of SPC presence on many wards, the small teams established symptom control guidelines, provided telephone advice and made palliative care resources available online. 5 Secondly, in pre-empting the overwhelming of the healthcare system, focus was placed on discharge and advanced care planning conversations whenever possible. Although symptom management was not at risk, manpower limitations raised concerns over the compromise of holistic support provided to sickly patients and families that were physically separated from one another. ...

... [18] The Dutch tariff showed a single utility score ranging from − 0.446 (worse-than-dead) to 0 (death) to 1 (perfect health) [18][19][20]. ...

... The Chinese translation of the FBSI has demonstrated adequate test-retest reliability as well as known-group validity and convergent and divergent validity [32]. Garcia et al. [33] sought to develop a new version of the FBSI in accordance with US Food and Drug Administration guidance for PRO measures that provides assessment on a symptom level and improves upon the original FBSI by emphasizing input from patients. ...

... This may lead to the unintended exclusion of articles from other settings. As concepts of MD and personhood are sociocultural constructs, the omission of non-English articles may have significant ramifications on the applicability of these findings in Confucian-inspired societies [31,[116][117][118][119]. [31] Here relational autonomy, filial piety and family-centric associations play a critical role in self-concepts of identity and personhood and thus suggest that concepts of MD [120][121][122][123][124][125] in these settings may be different and not fully reflected by our findings. ...

... The EQ VAS score is related to the EQ-5D-5L and used to rate the overall health on a scale from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state) [26]. The EQ-5D-5L is widely recognized as a HRQoL measurement tool for cancer patients and has been validated in breast cancer patients [31,32]. ...
