Living with multiple sclerosis: A qualitative exploration of death, dying and suicide, in UK adults
This qualitative study explored factors contributing to suicidal ideation among people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) using the Integrated Motivational-Volitional Model (IMV) of suicide as a theoretical framework. Sixteen participants were interviewed and data analysed using Framework Analysis. The analysis generated four core themes: Theme 1:'Journey to Diagnosis', captured the difficulties faced by people with MS as they sought a diagnosis…
Go on, get out, you've got this”: A qualitative study exploring engagement with a nature conservation intervention for older adults
This qualitative study evaluated a co-designed nature conservation intervention for older adults living in a retirement village. It explored if and how the intervention could support autonomous motivation to engage with nature. Participants were invited to “spot, count and record things in nature” for 6 weeks, tailoring (i.e., personalising) this nature activity to their motivations, needs and abilities, and using resources provided (e.g., logboo…
The combined effect of socioeconomic position and C-reactive protein for predicting incident cardiometabolic disease: Findings from a 14-year follow-up study of the English Longitudinal Study of Agein…
Cardiovascular disease and diabetes are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Social inequalities in the distribution of these diseases across the population exist. The aim of the current study was to examine the additive effect of socioeconomic position and a known biological risk marker (C-reactive protein [CRP]) for future incident cardiometabolic disease. We used data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (N = 5410). Te…
Typologies of loneliness, living alone and social isolation, and their associations with physical and mental health
The relationship between living alone, loneliness and social isolation, and how they are associated with health remain contentious. We sought to explore typologies based on shared experiences of loneliness, social isolation and living alone using Latent Class Analysis and determine how these groups may differ in terms of their physical and mental health. We used Wave 7 of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (N = 7,032; mean age = 67.3) and r…
Investigation of anxiety and depression symptom co-morbidity in a community sample with type 2 diabetes: Associations with indicators of self-care
Negotiated Validity in Collaborative Ethnography
This article is an attempt to reconstruct and analyze the process of conducting a collaborative, interpretive study of the experience of Hurricane Andrew. Study data consist of accounts, including in-depth and focus-group interviews, collected in the months following the storm. The current inquiry addresses validity, with a focus on the impact of the investigators' biographies and theoretical orientations on the collection and analysis of qualita…
