Powerless or Powerful? Healthcare Professionals' Construction of Agency in Patient and Family Engagement Accounts
Open AccessPolina Mesinioti, Laura Sheard et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2026
‘A Forever Imprint on Me…I Couldn't Be There When He Needed Me the Most’
Open AccessKayley Perfetto, Kim Sears et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2025
BACKGROUND: It is believed that engaging care partners (CPs) in patient safety is a potential strategy to ensure patients' well-being during hospital admissions. When present, CPs who feel comfortable can be 'safety nets', monitoring and acting to prevent healthcare-related harm. However, there are limitations in evidence about CPs' perspectives regarding and experiences of safety engagement at the direct care level and the implications if they h…
Patient and public co‐creation of healthcare safety and healthcare system resilience
Open AccessAbigail Albutt, Lauren Ramsey et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2023
INTRODUCTION: Healthcare system resilience is a conceptual approach that seeks to explore how health services adapt and respond to variability in demand and resources. As has been witnessed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare services have undergone many reconfigurations. One understudied aspect of how the 'system' is able to adapt and respond is the contribution of key stakeholders-patients and families, and in the context o…
Unpacking the Cinderella black box of complex intervention development through the Partners at Care Transitions (Pact) programme of research
Open AccessJenni Murray, Ruth Baxter et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2023
INTRODUCTION: Complex intervention development has been described as the 'Cinderella' black box in health services research. Greater transparency in the intervention development process is urgently needed to help reduce research waste. METHODS: We applied a new consensus-based framework for complex intervention development to our programme of research, in which we developed an intervention to improve the safety and experience of care transitions …
Developing a research community within an online healthcare feedback platform
Open AccessBeth Fylan, James Munro et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2023
INTRODUCTION: Care Opinion is an online feedback platform supporting patients to author stories about their care. It is not known whether authors would be willing to be involved in improving care through research. The aims of this study were to explore the views and preferences of Care Opinion authors about joining an online research community and to pilot new research community functionality. METHODS: Five hundred and nine Care Opinion authors w…
A glimpse behind the organisational curtain
Open AccessLauren Ramsey, Jane O’hara et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2023Citada por: 4Referencias: 10
Healthcare staff are encouraged to use feedback from their patients to inform service and quality improvement. Receiving patient feedback via online channels is a relatively new phenomenon that has rarely been conceptualised. Further, the implications of a wide, varied and unknown(able) audience being able to view and interact with online patient feedback are yet to be understood. We applied a theoretical lens of dramaturgy to a large ethnographi…
A qualitative formative evaluation of a patient facing intervention to improve care transitions for older people moving from hospital to home
Open AccessRosemary Shannon, Rosie Shannon et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2022
BACKGROUND: The Partners at Care Transitions (PACTs) intervention was developed to support older people's involvement in hospital to improve outcomes at home. A booklet, question card, record sheet, induction leaflet, and patient-friendly discharge letter support patients to be more involved in their health and wellbeing, medications, activities of daily living and post-discharge care. We aimed to assess intervention acceptability, identify imple…
Humanizing harm
Open AccessJo Wailling, Allison Kooijman et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2022
BACKGROUND: Healthcare is not without risk. Despite two decades of policy focus and improvement efforts, the global incidence of harm remains stubbornly persistent, with estimates suggesting that 10% of hospital patients are affected by adverse events. METHODS: We explore how current investigative responses can compound the harm for all those affected-patients, families, health professionals and organizations-by neglecting to appreciate and respo…
Systemic safety inequities for people with learning disabilities
Open AccessLauren Ramsey, Abigail Albutt et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2022
A series of safety inequities have been identified for people with learning disabilities, alongside potential protective buffers. These include; access to social support and advocacy, a malleable system able to accommodate for individualised care and communication needs, adequate staffing levels, sufficient learning disabilities expertise within and between care settings, and the interoperability of safety initiatives. In order to attend to the s…
Differences in comprehending and acting on pandemic health risk information
Open AccessSiv Hilde Berg, Marie Therese Shortt et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to public health risk communication. Empowering people with decision-relevant information necessitates targeted and balanced risk communication
Development of a ‘real-world’ logic model through testing the feasibility of a complex healthcare intervention
Open AccessThomas Mills, Rosemary Shannon et al.ARTICLEEvaluation2022Referencias: 4
Logic models feature prominently in intervention research yet there is increasing debate about their ability to express how interventions work in the real-world. ‘Real-world’ logic models are a new proposition which express complex interventions in context. They are designed to help researchers strike a balance between context-sensitivity and scalability. This article explores the utility of real-world logic models in a trial involving a complex …
Health authorities’ health risk communication with the public during pandemics
Open AccessSiv Hilde Berg, Jane O’hara et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021
Experimental studies that investigate the effect of health authorities' videos and messages on social media platforms and self-protective behaviour are needed. More studies are needed across the fields of health risk communication and media studies, including visual communication, web design, video and digital marketing, at a time when online digital communication is central to reaching the public
“Change is what can actually make the tough times better”
Open AccessGemma Louch, Mohammed A Mohammed et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2019
BACKGROUND: The PRASE (Patient Reporting and Action for a Safe Environment) intervention provides a way to systematically collect patient feedback to support service improvement. To provide a sustainable mechanism for the PRASE intervention, a 2-year improvement project explored the potential for hospital volunteers to facilitate the collection of PRASE feedback. OBJECTIVE: To explore the implementation of the PRASE intervention delivered in coll…
How older people enact care involvement during transition from hospital to home

A qualitative formative evaluation of a patient‐centred patient safety intervention delivered in collaboration with hospital volunteers
Open AccessGemma Louch, Jane O’hara et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2017
BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that patients can meaningfully feed back to healthcare providers about the safety of their care. The PRASE (Patient Reporting and Action for a Safe Environment) intervention provides a way to systematically collect feedback from patients to support service improvement. The intervention is being implemented in acute care settings with patient feedback collected by hospital volunteers for the first time. OBJECTIVE: To …
The Patient Feedback Response Framework – Understanding why UK hospital staff find it difficult to make improvements based on patient feedback
Open AccessLaura Sheard, Charles Marsh et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2017Citada por: 7Referencias: 6
Patients are increasingly being asked for feedback about their healthcare experiences. However, healthcare staff often find it difficult to act on this feedback in order to make improvements to services. This paper draws upon notions of legitimacy and readiness to develop a conceptual framework (Patient Feedback Response Framework - PFRF) which outlines why staff may find it problematic to respond to patient feedback. A large qualitative study wa…
