Connecting evidence with decision-making in adult social care
For adult social care organizations faced with growing challenges, an increasingly important issue is how best to make use of relevant research. This article reports on a survey that sought to assess the views, experiences, and use of research among adult social care staff in three neighboring local authorities in England. Findings In total, 250 staff (30% response rate) across all grades and areas of practice responded to the survey. Staff expre…
What Influences the Use of Research by the Adult Social Care Workforce
Despite a recognition that research evidence plays a critical role in informing decisions in adult social care, there has been little investment in developing the sector’s own capacity to engage with it. This article reports on a qualitative study of the adult social care workforce (social workers, occupational therapists, managers and commissioners) in three local authorities in England. Data were collected through twenty-five semi-structured in…
The Place of Research in the Professional Identity of Practitioners and Managers in Adult Social Care
The nature of professional identity in the roles of practitioners in social care is not clearly defined. This article uses baseline data from a study seeking to increase the use of research in decision‐making within adult social care to discuss the role of research in the professional identity of social care practitioners. Semistructured interviews were completed with 25 members of staff working in adult social care in the UK, employing purposive…
Engagement in rapid public health research among young people from underserved communities
This research explored barriers to engagement in rapid public health co-production. Working with communities to co-produce rapid recruitment and research procedures to suit the needs and the context in which young people live is necessary
Shooting in the dark’
While participants feel positively towards research, there remains a gap between these perceptions and its use in practice. There remains a need to improve research relevance and accessibility and to clarify its role in decision-making in social care, including where there is no evidence, where evidence challenges existing practice, or where the evidence base is growing. Collaborative partnerships between adult social care organisations, research…
Prevalence, drivers and surveillance of antibiotic resistance and antibiotic use in rural China
This study aimed to characterise antibiotic prescribing and dispensing patterns in rural health facilities in China and determine the community prevalence of antibiotic resistance. We investigated patterns and drivers of antibiotic use for common respiratory and urinary tract infections (RTI/UTI) in community settings, examined relationships between presenting symptoms, clinical diagnosis and microbiological results in rural outpatient clinics, a…
Biosocial borders
Within emerging fields of research focusing on neuro‐urbanism, neuro‐geographies, and biosociality, which experiment with using emerging mobile biosensor methods, few if any have used them to research socio‐spatial life in communities that suffer high levels of violence and other socio‐spatial injustices. Extending non‐representational accounts of the body, emotions, and affect, this paper discusses an experimental geography–neuroscience collabor…
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the uptake of routine maternal and infant vaccines globally
Maintaining routine vaccination coverage is essential to avoid outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. We aimed to understand the international impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on routine vaccination in pregnant women and children aged 0-5-years-old. A systematic review of quantitative and mixed methods studies exploring changes in vaccination coverage, vaccination services, and vaccine confidence since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic was co…
Links between obesity, weight stigma and learning in adolescence
Action to combat weight stigma, both within schools and in wider society, is urgently required to help address these educational disparities that in turn can impact health in later life
Disjunctive writing in the urban skinscape
This article offers a creative disjunctive feminist analysis of affective rhythms within a complexly bordered complex of favelas in Rio de Janeiro. It explores the gendered atmospheric constitution of authority in the favela's violent border spaces, arguing that authority is partly embodied through a channelling of attention. Attention is conceptualised as involving not just conscious intentions, perceptions and emotions, but also non-conscious r…
Prescribing Antibiotics in Rural China
Primary care clinicians in rural China are required to balance their immediate duty of care to their patients with patient expectations for antibiotics, financial pressures, and their wider responsibilities to public health. The clinicians in our sample appear to make greater efforts in managing immediate clinical risks and personal reputation than in considering the long-term consequences of their actions as potentially contributing to antimicro…
“It's safer to …” parent consulting and clinician antibiotic prescribing decisions for children with respiratory tract infections
This paper reports a cross-study analysis of four studies, aiming to understand the drivers of parental consulting and clinician prescribing behaviour when children under 12 years consult primary care with acute respiratory tract infections (RTI). Qualitative data were obtained from three primary studies and one systematic review. Purposeful samples were obtained for (i) a focus group study of parents' information needs and help seeking; (ii) an …
Bangladeshi families living in hardship
Whilst there are many commonalities in the experience of living in hardship, there are also many ways in which the experience of poverty varies. This paper draws on findings from life‐history interviews about parenting and children's well‐being which were undertaken with 70 low‐income households including nine Bangladeshi families living in London. The paper explores the ways in which the experience of Bangladeshi families was similar to and diff…
