Managing down’
This qualitative study investigates how care homes in South-West England managed and responded to the everyday challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. While many studies explore the impact of the pandemic on care home staff, residents and families, limited research addresses care homes’ experiences with filtering top-down rules and guidelines during ‘uncertain times’. Drawing on the concept of ‘street-level bureaucracy’, this study examines how prof…
Sociodemographic Correlates of Cancer-Related Beliefs Among Chinese Speaking Adults in Greater Philadelphia
PURPOSE: Cancer is the leading cause of death in the U.S. Asian community. In the Greater Philadelphia region, people from China form the largest Asian subgroup, and many have limited English proficiency. This study examined cancer beliefs among Chinese-speaking adults and their sociodemographic associations. METHODS: Chinese-speaking adults (n=172) completed an online survey in Chinese. Respondents indicated their level of agreement with seven s…
Development of the First Patient‐Reported Experience Measure (PREM) for Hearing Loss in Audiology Care—My Hearing PREM
CONTEXT: Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) provide important insights into the challenges experienced when living with a chronic condition. Although patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) exist in audiology, there are no validated PREMs to help clinicians understand patient perspectives and identify areas where patients may need additional support or interventions. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate content…
Local government interventions for improving the health and wellbeing of tenants in private rented housing
Interventions that bring about positive outcomes in managing PRS housing are unlikely to be universal; they depend on the context which differs across place and over time. The proposed IPTs highlight the need for strategies to be tailored considering the local context and should be evaluated in subsequent phases of study
Co-designing adult weight management services
Co-design is an increasingly popular approach to designing health in services but can be difficult to achieve within traditional funding and commissioning practices. Drawing on our case studies, we present key considerations for those wanting to co-design health services, noting the importance of building strong relationships, creating supportive organisational cultures, and developing the evidence base
Blood tests in primary care
OBJECTIVE: Blood tests are commonly used in primary care as a tool to aid diagnosis, and to offer reassurance and validation for patients. If doctors and patients do not have a shared understanding of the reasons for testing and the meaning of results, these aims may not be fulfilled. Shared decision-making is widely advocated; yet, most research focusses on treatment decisions rather than diagnostic decisions. The aim of this study was to explor…
The experience of conducting collaborative and intensive pragmatic qualitative (CLIP-Q) research to support rapid public health and healthcare innovation
A key challenge for qualitative methods in applied health research is the fast pace that can characterize the public health and health and care service landscape, where there is a need for research informed by immediate pragmatic questions and relevant findings are required quickly to inform decision-making. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the pace at which evidence was needed to inform urgent public health and healthcare decision-making. This …
If We Ask, What They Might Tell
Following repeal of the Don't Ask Don't Tell Policy, nearly one million lesbian, gay, and bisexual veterans and service members may increasingly seek access to Veterans Affairs services (G. Gates, 2004; G. J. Gates, 2010). Limited data exist regarding lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) military personnel posing a unique challenge to clinicians and healthcare systems serving veterans with evidence-based and culturally relevant practice. In…
The community pharmacy and discursive complexity
The present paper examines the developing role of the medicines counter assistant (MCA) based in community pharmacies in the UK. In recent years, community pharmacies have been promoted as sources of primary care advice, and this has been accompanied by an increase in the number of pharmacy-only medicines made available for purchase without prescription. At the forefront of these changes is the MCA, who responds to requests for medicines and also…
