Summary
Digital coaching is defined as a synchronous, human-to-human conversation, distinct from AI coaching or asynchronous digital support. This clarification aids research and professional practice in digital coaching.
Area of Science:
- Coaching Science
- Digital Health
- Human-Computer Interaction
Background:
- The term 'digital coaching' lacks a clear, universally accepted definition.
- Existing digital-technology-enabled (DT-enabled) coaching formats are often conflated.
- Distinguishing digital coaching is crucial for research and practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To define digital coaching.
- To differentiate digital coaching from other DT-enabled formats.
- To establish a foundation for future research and professional standards.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative inductive approach.
- Survey of 260 digital coaching practitioners.
- Analysis of coach-provided definitions and distinctions.
Main Results:
- Digital coaching is defined as a synchronous, human-to-human DT-enabled conversation.
- It is differentiated from artificial intelligence (AI) coaching.
- It is also distinguished from coaching supported by asynchronous digital communication technologies.
Conclusions:
- A clear definition of digital coaching is established.
- This definition facilitates future research on digital coaching processes and effectiveness.
- It enables practitioners to uphold professional standards and manage client expectations.

01:10Qualitative Analysis
273
Qualitative analysis is the process of identifying elements, ions, or compounds in an unknown sample. It is the first and most fundamental type of analysis based on the hierarchy of analytical goals. This hierarchy is significant as it provides a structured approach to scientific research, with qualitative analysis serving as the initial step, providing essential information before moving on to quantitative or other forms of analysis.

00:59Inductive Reasoning
60.5K
Inductive reasoning is a form of logical thinking that uses related observations to arrive at a general conclusion. It is uncertain and operates in degrees to which the conclusions are credible. As such, inductive arguments can be weak or strong, rather than valid or invalid, and conclusions can be used to formulate testable, falsifiable hypotheses.
Inductive reasoning is common in descriptive science. A life scientist makes observations and records them. This data can be qualitative or...

01:20Motivational Cycle
611
The motivational cycle is a key concept that explains how individuals are motivated to meet their needs. At its core, the cycle revolves around four distinct stages: need, drive, goal-directed behavior, and goal achievement. These stages respond to imbalances in the body or mind, prompting actions that restore balance.
The cycle begins with a need. This need can arise from various conditions, such as hunger, thirst, or temperature changes. For instance, when an individual feels cold, their body...

01:23Techniques of Therapeutic Communication II: Focusing, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing
8.2K
Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...

1.6K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

01:26Modeling in Therapy
92
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
