Playing with place
Hospital greenspaces have the potential to contribute to public health, environmental sustainability, and the wellbeing of patients, staff, and visitors through meaningful interactions with nature. While it is widely acknowledged that time spent in nature benefits health and wellbeing, there remains uncertainty of which individual landscape elements are linked to particular outcomes. Moreover, tools to support shared decision-making in the early …
Are we working (too) comfortably?”
It was evident that SB when w@h is influenced by a range of factors, and therefore multi-component intervention strategies are likely to be most effective in reducing SB. Future intervention research is a priority to evaluate and refine strategies, and inform w@h guidance to protect both the short-term and long-term health consequences of elevated SB for those who continue to w@h
Interrogating assumptions about the relationship between service providers and recipients
What works to reduce sedentary behavior in the office, and could these intervention components transfer to the home working environment
Background Working patterns have changed dramatically due to COVID-19, with many workers now spending at least a portion of their working week at home. The office environment was already associated with high levels of sedentary behavior, and there is emerging evidence that working at home further elevates these levels. The aim of this rapid review (PROSPERO CRD42021278539) was to build on existing evidence to identify what works to reduce sedenta…
Adverse Childhood Experiences, Domestic Violence and Substance Misuse
The long-term impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are of increasing interest to researchers and practitioners, including the effectiveness of screening for ACEs to improve health and social outcomes. Despite a focus on implementing such practices, there has been little focus on ACEs experiences for women experiencing domestic violence and substance use, or consideration of practice responses around ACEs routine enquiry for domestic vi…
‘Never mind the mechanics, what about the (sexual) ethics?’ Sex, sexuality and social work education in sexual violence prevention
This paper examines the efficacy of sexual violence prevention education (SVPE) in the USA and Australasia: areas, which have some of the worst rates for sexual violence prevalence, globally. Paradoxically, they are also at the forefront of innovations in sexual violence prevention, compared to some European countries where SVPE is virtually non-existent or at the embryonic stage, such as the UK. Drawing upon the Authors’ previous research on the…
Factors influencing sedentary behaviours after stroke
Many stroke survivors indicate being open to reducing sedentary behaviour, with appropriate support from stroke service staff and caregivers. The findings from this study have contributed to an intervention development process using the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) approach to develop strategies to reduce sedentary behaviour after stroke
Clarifying the mechanisms and resources that enable the reciprocal involvement of seldom heard groups in health and social care research
Creating organisational and practice change through the use of co-operative inquiry groups in healthcare settings
This paper explores the challenges and learning achieved in utilising co-operative inquiry groups as an action research method through the presentation and critical reflection of two different research projects located in health and social care settings. One study was based in a domestic violence agency and the other was based in an age-related healthcare multidisciplinary team in an acute hospital. The paper compares and contrasts the use of a c…
Understanding Gendered Negotiations in the Academic Dual-career Hiring Process
The current literature on gender and negotiations consists primarily of experimental studies, finding that women are less likely to initiate negotiations than men. Although these studies have been fruitful in building our understanding of gender and negotiations, they fail to examine negotiations in real-world, gendered contexts. This study uses survey data from the 2014 Multi-university Policy Study and binomial logistic regression to examine th…
Risk-taking in the academic dual-hiring process
This article examines risk-taking in the job search process and whether women and men who are part of a dual-career couple experience different work-related consequences for taking such risks. Specifically, we explore how the decision to reveal dual-career status in the academic job search process impacts faculty members’ later promotions, productivity, pay, mobility, and career-related goals. We draw on a sample of roughly 230 faculty in seven U…
Evidence synthesis for knowledge exchange
Barriers to using research in practice are well documented. This paper describes an innovative process developed by the Centre for Research on Families and Relationships to address these barriers. We supported people to define what they needed to know; how existing evidence could help; and how to use evidence in practice. An action-focused evidence review process was developed to synthesise and appraise varied relevant literatures, and communicat…
The future of Evidence & Policy
The future of Evidence & Policy: moving forward from ValenciaIn celebrating the first ten years of Evidence & Policy we wanted to think expansively and creatively about how to move the field forward and identify ways in which Evidence & Policy can contribute to such an advance.To help with this mission, we held a twoday international meeting in Valencia, Spain, in October 2015
Progressing research impact assessment
There is an increasing interest in demonstrating the outcomes from research for the purposes of learning, accountability, or to demonstrate the value of research investments. However, assessing the impact of social science research on policy and practice is challenging. The ways in which research is taken up, used, and reused in policy and practice settings means that linking research processes or outputs to wider changes is difficult, and timesc…
Creating research impact
An impact assessment of research into children's concerns about their families and relationships found many ways research had been used in different sectors by different actors. Specific impacts from the research were harder to identify. However, instances where there were clear impacts highlighted the ways research users had adapted research to fit the context for research use in order to create impact. Research users continued to draw on the re…
HIV transmission as a form of gender-based violence
Gender-based violence and HIV have a particular impact on women in sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on qualitative research with women in Ethiopia, this article explores the intersection between these two issues. It examines HIV transmission in the context of both intimate partner violence and wider gender-based violence, focusing on infidelity, multiple sexual partners, rape and sex work. We argue that the participants viewed HIV transmission as a fo…
Knowledge exchange
There is increasing emphasis on the need for effective ways of sharing knowledge to enhance environmental management and sustainability. Knowledge exchange (KE) are processes that generate, share and/or use knowledge through various methods appropriate to the context, purpose, and participants involved. KE includes concepts such as sharing, generation, coproduction, comanagement, and brokerage of knowledge. This paper elicits the expert knowledge…
Qualities of knowledge brokers
Employing knowledge brokers is one way that universities and research centres have responded to the increasing emphasis on the wider usefulness and uptake of research beyond the academy. While there is an increase in the numbers of such professionals, there has been little focus on their roles, skills and development. In this paper, two knowledge exchange directors from Canada and the United Kingdom reflect on their combined experiences of being,…
Using research to influence family services and policies
There is growing national and international interest in the ways that research might influence policy and practice. The 4 articles in the Open Space section of this journal issue discuss how research is used to inform policy and practice development and how this relationship can be enhanced. They build on a dialogue at the Centre for Research on Families and Relationships (CRFR) national conference in November 2011, which considered the impact of…
Linking research and policy in Scotland
Given its strong research base, separate administrative systems and consensual policy style, Scotland provides an interesting case for exploring the relationship between research and policy. This paper outlines approaches and initiatives developed by government, research funders and universities to promote better linkages between research and policy within Scotland. It illustrates how these play out through the example of the Scottish Early Years…
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Women's Refuges
There is increasing pressure on domestic violence victim service programs worldwide to demonstrate the impact of their work on those using their services. Many workers within such programs are also interested in understanding more about what is and is not working well for service users. The current project was a multi‐country collaboration to design an outcome evaluation model that would be useful to domestic violence programs, easy and inexpensi…
