Shaping research for people living with co‐existing mental and physical health conditions
Open AccessOlivia Taylor, Elizabeth Newbronner et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2024
INTRODUCTION: Those with severe and enduring mental ill health are at greater risk of long-term physical health conditions and have a reduced life expectancy as a result. Multiple factors compound this health inequality, and the need for setting research priorities in this area is highlighted with physical and mental healthcare services being separate, and limited multimorbidity research. METHODS: The aim of this exercise was to work in partnersh…
Adapting a codesign process with young people to prioritize outcomes for a systematic review of interventions to prevent self‐harm and suicide
Open AccessSarah Knowles, Vartika Sharma et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2022
Exploring Access to Mental Health and Primary Care Services for People With Severe Mental Illness During the Covid-19 Restrictions
Open AccessElizabeth Newbronner, Panagiotis Spanakis et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022
Although most participants were satisfied with the mental health support they had received, a minority were not. This, couple with findings on future need for mental health support has implications for post pandemic demand on services. Remote care has brought benefits but also risks that it could increase inequalities in access to services
A Year Into the Pandemic
Open AccessEmily Peckham, Panagiotis Spanakis et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022
We observed a series of factors that might amplify pre-existing health inequalities. Health systems should be mindful of this, and should redouble efforts to set in place changes to practice and policy, which can mitigate these inequalities. Examples might include; raising awareness of the importance of ensuring that people with SMI receive an annual physical health check and supporting people to maintain a daily routine
Sleep health among people with severe mental ill health during the Covid-19 pandemic
Open AccessPaul N Heron, Lisa Henderson et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022
High estimates of perceived poor sleep quality in the SMI population align with previous findings. Supporting people with SMI to maintain routine regularity may work to protect sleep quality and wellbeing. Future research should more closely examine sleep health in people with SMI, using accessible and scalable measures of objective and subjective sleep, examining longitudinal trends
Use of the Internet and Digital Devices Among People With Severe Mental Ill Health During the Covid-19 Pandemic Restrictions
Open AccessPanagiotis Spanakis, Paul Heron et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021
Background: Restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to everyday reliance on digitalisation of life, including access to health care services. People with severe mental ill health (SMI-e.g., bipolar or psychosis spectrum disorders) are at greater risk for digital exclusion and it is unknown to what extent they adapted to online service delivery. This study explored use of the Internet and digital devices during the pandemic restrictions…
The role of sources of social support on depression and quality of life for university students
Open AccessMohammed Munahi Alsubaie, Helen J Stain et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019
Prevalence of mental health problems in university students is increasing and attributable to academic, financial and social stressors. Lack of social support is a known determinant of mental health problems. We examined the differential impact of sources of social support on student wellbeing. University students completed an online survey measuring depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)), social support (Multidimensional Perc…

An interpretative phenomenological analysis of the experience of self-harm repetition and recovery in young adults
Open AccessRuth Wadman, Duncan Clarke et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2017Cited by: 5References: 35
Six young adults (aged 19–21 years) with repeat self-harm for over 5 years were interviewed about their self-harm, why they continued and what factors might help them to stop. Interpretative phenomenological analysis identified six themes: keeping self-harm private and hidden; self-harm as self-punishment; self-harm provides relief and comfort; habituation and escalation of self-harm; emotional gains and practical costs of cutting, and not believ…
