Reasons for not seeking formal healthcare after injuries
Injuries are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries, but many individuals do not seek care within formal healthcare systems. Although previous studies have highlighted barriers to healthcare, limited attention has been given to the experiences of those who remain beyond the formal systems. This study explored why injured individuals in Ghana, Pakistan, Rwanda and South Africa did not seek hospital care. Ninet…
Help-seeking and access to care for stroke and heart attack during the Covid-19 pandemic
In this article we explore how people who experienced a stroke, transient ischaemic attack, or heart attack sought health care during the COVID-19 lockdown periods. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 27 patients admitted to hospital between March 2020 and May 2021, and one carer who was recruited from cardiac and stroke rehabilitation services in two large acute NHS trusts in England. Drawing on concepts of candidacy, illness and mora…
Evaluating interventions to improve ethical decision making in clinical practice
Medical professional regulatory authorities in some countries now include ethical knowledge and practice in their required competencies for undergraduate and post graduate medical training. Educational interventions and clinical ethics support services have been developed to support and improve ethical decision making in clinical practice, but research evaluating the effectiveness of these interventions has been limited. We undertook a systematic…
The nature of paid work in the retirement years
Ever more people are in paid work following the age of state pension availability, and yet the experience of working in this phase of the late career has been little studied. We interviewed a purposive sample of 25 Swedish people in their mid- to late sixties and early seventies, many of whom were or had recently been working while claiming an old-age pension. The data were analysed with constant comparative analysis in which we described and ref…
Equitable access to quality trauma systems in low-income and middle-income countries
Injuries in low-income and middle-income countries are prevalent and their number is expected to increase. Death and disability after injury can be reduced if people reach healthcare facilities in a timely manner. Knowledge of barriers to access to quality injury care is necessary to intervene to improve outcomes. We combined a four-delay framework with WHO Building Blocks and Institution of Medicine Quality Outcomes Frameworks to describe barrie…
Staying connected
Timely communications are important in enabling young people with long-term conditions to stay engaged with their health and manage their condition successfully. This study considers the role of digital communication in helping young people engage with services and the clinical teams providing their care. Data are drawn from 165 young people and 173 NHS staff across 20 clinical settings in the UK treating a variety of long-term conditions. Althou…
“Partners rather than just providers…”
Findings provide an insight into how health professionals' views of their participation to the multidisciplinary group meetings can be more effectively translated into more tangible benefits to the patients. To benefit patient care, the multidisciplinary groups need to be more patient-oriented rather than provider-oriented, while overcoming professional boundaries for participating
Patient narratives on person-centeredness in the integrated care context
Background: Person-centred care emphasises the benefits of a holistic, humanistic approach that puts patients first and at the centre of clinical care. Person-centeredness is also considered a core element of integrated care. Yet typologies of integrated care mainly describe how patients fit within services, rather than how services fit into the patient’s world, and it is unclear how ‘personcenteredness’ is realized in integrated care. Purpose an…
Achieving Provider Engagement
The literature on integrated care is limited with respect to practical learning and experience. Although some attention has been paid to organizational processes and structures, not enough is paid to people, relationships, and the importance of these in bringing about integration. Little is known, for example, about provider engagement in the organizational change process, how to obtain and maintain it, and how it is demonstrated in the delivery …
Integrated care pilot in north west London
Although the pilot has demonstrated the beginnings of large-scale change, it remains in the early stages and faces significant challenges as it seeks to become sustainable for the longer term. It is critical that National Health Service managers and clinicians have realistic expectations of what can be achieved in a relatively short period of time
