The Videoinsight(®) method combined to adequate rehabilitation could be an effective tool in order to improve short-term clinical and functional outcomes in patients who underwent ACL reconstruction.
Background Wide variation in outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) exists among adolescents and young adults. However, little evidence is available regarding key rehabilitation factors that may be driving these differences. Objective To explore patient and parent perceptions of key rehabilitation drivers related to outcomes after ACLR. Methods In this qualitative study, which used an interpretive phenomenological methodology, semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients who had returned to sport after ACLR and with their parents. The interviews asked about respondents' experience with physical therapy and how it related to their outcomes after ACLR. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded. Themes were then identified using open and axial coding processes. Results There were 3 primary themes that patients and parents perceived as key factors influencing their rehabilitation outcomes after ACLR: (1) patient attributes (ie, motivation, confidence, accountability, access to resources, and social support), (2) physical therapist-patient relationship qualities (physical therapist as guide, motivator, booster of confidence, fosterer of perseverance, and coordinator of care), and (3) elements of the system (ie, availability and utilization of therapy visits, clinic environment, and coordination among care providers). Conclusion Patient and parent perspectives of key drivers that influence ACLR rehabilitation outcomes include patient, therapist, and system factors. Developing specific strategies to target these factors may enhance patient and parent perceptions of the experience. The awareness gained from these results provides a foundation for future studies examining how these factors affect outcomes and how to improve rehabilitation after ACLR.

This study investigated teachers' knowledge of, and capacity to identify resilience, in 92 primary school children in Far North Queensland. It was found that although teachers' knowledge of resilience was apparently strong, and they reported a significant level of confidence in their ability to assist children in building resilience, their capacity to identify levels of resilience in their students was lacking. The paper concludes with suggestions for future research.
Videoinsight® means to gain insight by looking at a work of contemporary art. It focuses on the aim and the psychological effect that are potentially provoked by the interaction with some selected contemporary works of art. The insight promoted by the work of art is the outcome of the activation of transference, of projections and reflections on the artistic product, of the unconscious elaboration that leads to the development of transformation. Videoinsight® is a theoretical concept, a working method and a psychological process. It is based on the experience of exchange and integration between the contemporary artwork and the psychology of individuals who relate to it. Some works of contemporary art provoke and stimulate the psyche and activate psychological mechanisms. They trigger an intellectual and emotional experience: they make us think and feel a certain way. Interacting with selected works of art leads to the development and activation of human potentials. The Videoinsight® method can be applied in prevention, diagnosis, psychological support and psychotherapy for treatment of all psychological and psychosomatic diseases. It has been already applied in Medical Orthopedic Researches for rehabilitation and psychological support.
