‘Wala kaming alam sa stroke care’ (we don’t know anything about stroke care)
BACKGROUND: In the Philippines, rising stroke prevalence and healthcare inequalities present a concerning outlook. While acute stroke care is prioritised, rehabilitation remains undervalued. The experiences of healthcare providers who deliver stroke support are also under-researched. OBJECTIVE(S): Our study aimed to explore the experiences and needs of care providers across multiple regions of the Philippines to inform the development of stroke s…
‘Pagbangon at Pag‐Asa’ (Resurgence and Hope)
BACKGROUND: Stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality in the Philippines, where access to formal rehabilitation services is limited. There is a lack of research on the lived experiences of people with stroke and their household carers across diverse urban and rural settings. OBJECTIVE: To explore the experiences, challenges and support needs of people with stroke and their household carers throughout the Philippines, and to inform the…
Personalisation at the Core of Success
BACKGROUND: The development and evaluation of rehabilitation interventions designed to support people with Long Covid (LC) remains an important ongoing priority. Many people with LC experience episodic, debilitating symptoms that can reduce their ability to engage in all areas of activity. The Long CovId personalised Self-managemenT support co-design and EvaluatioN (LISTEN) trial co-designed and evaluated a personalised self-management support in…
Cost‐Effectiveness of a Personalised Self‐Management Intervention for People Living With Long Covid
BACKGROUND: In the United Kingdom, at least 1.9 million people are estimated to have experienced long Covid, of which 1.3 million have symptoms lasting for more than a year. The Long CovId Personalised Self-managemenT support EvaluatioN (LISTEN) trial evaluated the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a co-designed personalised self-management support intervention for non-hospitalised people living with long Covid. METHODS: We conducted a prag…
Using co‐design methods to develop new personalised support for people living with Long Covid
INTRODUCTION: Many Covid-19 survivors are living with unresolved, relapsing and remitting symptoms and no 'one size' of treatment is likely to be effective for everyone. Supported self-management for the varied symptoms of Long Covid (LC) is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the United Kingdom. We aimed to develop a new personalised support intervention for people living with LC using a structured co-design f…

A Realist Evaluation of Mechanisms and Contexts for Facilitating the Implementation of Supported Self‐Management in Community Stroke Care (The Impetus Study)
The past decade has seen a growing recognition of the role of supported self‐management in the provision of long‐term care and support for stroke survivors in primary and community care. However, its implementation and delivery across different contexts and models of community stroke care is inconsistent and patchy. This realist evaluation explored how and in which circumstances supported self‐management is enacted and delivered within community …
Experiences of acquired brain injury survivors participating in online and hybrid performance arts programmes
ABI survivors can engage in online performance art programmes and find participation valuable for their health, well-being, and recovery. More work is needed to explore the generalisability of these findings, especially given digital poverty
Doing nothing? An ethnography of patients' (In)activity on an acute stroke unit
Health research has begun to pay increasing attention to inactivity in its broadest sense as lack of meaningful activity and boredom. Few studies however have taken a critical look at this phenomenon. We explore (in)activity drawing on ethnographic data from observations in an acute stroke unit and post-discharge interviews with stroke survivors and their families. Four themes emerged that explain patients' (in)activity: (i) planned activities; (…
Exploring liminality in the co-design of rehabilitation environments
This paper describes an Experience-based Co-design (EBCD) project that aimed to increase patient activity within an acute stroke unit. We apply the concept of liminality to explore ways in which the EBCD process, a form of Participatory Action Research, may dilute or even dissolve social hierarchies and challenge assumptions about practices and constraints in this care setting, thereby opening up possibilities for transformation that enhances the…
Restraint minimisation in mental health care
Coercive practices, such as physical restraint, are used globally to respond to violent, aggressive and other behaviours displayed by mental health service users.1 A number of approaches have been designed to aid staff working within services to minimise the use of restraint and other restrictive practices. One such approach, the 'REsTRAIN Yourself' (RYS) initiative, has been evaluated in the UK. Rapid ethnography was used to explore the aspects …
Supporting self‐management after traumatic brain injury
BACKGROUND: Supported self-management (SSM) is a recognized approach for people with long-term conditions but, despite the prevalence of unmet needs, little is known about its role for people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). OBJECTIVES: To codesign an SSM intervention with people with TBI and evaluate feasibility of implementation through multidisciplinary staff across a trauma pathway. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: People who had previously been a…
Relationship between work-family conflict and unhealthy eating
Participation in Community Leisure Programs
Children with developmental disabilities participate in more solitary, sedentary, and home-based leisure activities than active physical pursuits or community-based activities. Clinical experience suggests that children with less well-recognized developmental difficulties also have compromised leisure experiences; however, this has not been fully investigated. This study engaged 20 school-age children with developmental difficulties in a communit…
Conceptualisation of the 'good' self-manager
Healthcare policy in developed countries has, in recent years, promoted self-management among people with long-term conditions. Such policies are underpinned by neoliberal philosophy, as seen in the promotion of greater individual responsibility for health through increased support for self-management. Yet still little is known about how self-management is understood by commissioners of healthcare services, healthcare professionals, people with l…
It's the talk
BACKGROUND: A study of involvement initiatives within secure mental health services across one UK region, where these have been organized to reflect alliances between staff and service users. There is little previous relevant international research, but constraints upon effective involvement have been noted. OBJECTIVE: To explore and evaluate involvement initiatives in secure mental health settings. DESIGN: A case study design with thematic analy…

Work-Life Balance
What are the effects of conflict between home and work?Does work stress affect those who live with you? In the rapidly changing modern work environment, time pressures seem ever increasing and new technology allows work to be conducted any time and anywhere. These are just two of the factors that make it more and more difficult for working men and women to integrate work and home life. Consequently, there is a need for flexible and innovative sol…
Employees' perceptions of the impact of work on health behaviours
Research examining the impact of work on health behaviours has rarely provided a complete picture of the impact across health behaviours. Twenty-four employees were interviewed about their smoking, drinking, exercise and eating. Themes included the impact of the work environment, including policy, convenience and workplace cultural norms; business events effecting one's routine and again convenience and workplace cultural norms; being busy at wor…
Effects of daily hassles and eating style on eating behavior.
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the daily hassles-eating behavior relationship and its moderators in a naturalistic setting. DESIGN: A multilevel diary design was used to examine day-to-day within-person effects of daily hassles on eating behavior (N = 422), together with the individual and simultaneous influence of potential moderating variables. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Daily diary reports of between-meal snacking, fruit and vegetable consumpt…
A Life Beyond Work? Job Demands, Work-Life Balance, and Wellbeing in UK Academics
Research findings from several countries suggest that academic work has become comparatively stressful, with potentially serious consequences for the workforce and the quality of higher education. This article reports the findings of a study that examined work demands, work-life balance and wellbeing in UK academic staff. Job demands and levels of psychological distress were high and working during evenings and weekends was commonplace. Most acad…
Crossover of Occupational Stress in Dual-Career Couples
This study considers the source, nature and direction of ‘crossover’ of occupational stressors and strains in a sample of 74 dual-career couples. It examines patterns and habits of discussion about work between partners and investigates the role of partner communication and job commitment in the crossover process. Contrary to previous research findings which suggest that the direction of crossover is predominantly from men to their female partner…
A refutation of Karasek's demand – discretion model of occupational stress with a range of dependent measures
Karasek's (1979) demand–discretion model of occupational stress has been highly influential but has been criticized as confounding social class variables (Payne and Fletcher, 1983), ignoring the curvilinearity of relationships (Warr, 1991), and because it has inconsistently predicted heart disease (Ganster and Fusilier, 1989). The present study examines the ability of the model to predict raised blood pressure (a risk factor in the development of…
An Empirical Study of Occupational Stress Transmission in Working Couples
The associations between work demands, supports, and levels of psychological and physical health have been clearly established by research. There is growing evidence that occupational stressors are transmitted to spouses, with a possible subsequent effect on disease risks and life expectancy of both marital partners. The present study investigates the extent and direction of occupational stress transmission and the possible psychological mechanis…
