Interventions to Improve Breast Screening Uptake for Black African Women in High Income Countries
AIM: Black African women experience significant barriers and are less likely to attend breast screening. However, little is known about the interventions and the components of successful interventions for Black African women. The aim of this systematic review was to identify and evaluate interventions developed for Black African women to increase breast screening in high-income countries. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted using nine data…
A theory-based randomised controlled trial to increase delivery of behaviour change interventions by healthcare professionals
BACKGROUND: Public health policies require healthcare professionals to incorporate health behaviour change interventions (HBCIs) into routine consultations. This study tested whether an "if-then" planning intervention could enhance HBCI delivery. METHODS: A randomised controlled trial involving 1008 UK NHS healthcare professionals compared an intervention group, who formed "if-then" plans, with an active control group. Data were collected at one,…
Examining healthcare professional delivery of health behaviour change interventions during a public health emergency
This study aimed to assess the extent to which healthcare professional characteristics and perceptions of major stressors during a public health emergency were associated with delivering health behaviour change interventions. A survey was administered in 2022 to a representative sample of 1008 healthcare professionals working in the UK's National Health Service (NHS). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and hierarchical linear regress…
Does refining an intervention based on participant feedback increase acceptability? An experimental approach
The null effects reported here imply that participants found both the original and modified versions of the intervention equally acceptable, and that our process of refining an intervention based on participant feedback did not impact on acceptability. Nevertheless, we have operationalised a robust approach for examining whether participant feedback impacts on the acceptability of an intervention. Further research is required to understand better…
Changes in office workers’ lived experiences of their own eating habits since working from home due to the Covid-19 pandemic
In response to the unprecedented circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been little insight into how office workers perceived their own eating behaviour in relation to their new home working environment. The sedentary nature of office-based jobs means that it is crucial that workers in these occupations engage in health behaviours that are beneficial to them. The present study aimed to explore how office workers perceive changes to the…
Enhancing the implementation of the Making Every Contact Count brief behavioural intervention programme in Ireland – Protocol for the Making Mecc Work research programme
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 2.913 (2021 JCR, received in June 2022)The IJIC 20th Anniversary Issue was published in 2021
Patients' experiences of behaviour change interventions delivered by general practitioners during routine consultations
BACKGROUND: Consistent with the 'Making Every Contact Count' UK public health policy, general practitioners (GPs) are expected to provide patients with behaviour change interventions opportunistically. However, there is a belief widely held among GPs that patients neither want or need such interventions. We aimed to understand the following: (a) the characteristics of people attending GP appointments, (b) patients' needs for health behaviour chan…
Developing Best Practice Guidance for Discharge Planning Using the Rand/Ucla Appropriateness Method
Background: Discharge from acute mental health inpatient units is often a vulnerable period for patients. Multiple professionals and agencies are involved and processes and procedures are not standardized, often resulting in communication delays and co-ordination failures. Early and appropriate discharge planning and standardization of procedures could make inpatient care safer. Aim: To inform the development of a multi-component best practice gu…
Identifying targets for interventions to support public adherence to government instructions to reduce transmission of Sars-CoV-2
Interventions targeted at people with black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, men and younger people that focus on increasing capabilities, providing greater opportunities and boosting motivations are needed to support continued adherence to government instructions to reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Further research is required to track changes in people's capabilities, opportunities, motivations and behaviours in response to the ongoing em…
‘I should have taken that further’ – missed opportunities during cardiovascular risk assessment in patients with psoriasis in UK primary care settings
BACKGROUND: Unhealthy lifestyle is common in psoriasis, contributing to worsening disease and increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. CVD risk communication should improve patients' understanding of risk and risk-reducing behaviours; however, the effectiveness of risk screening is debated and evaluation currently limited. OBJECTIVE: To examine the process of assessing for and communicating about CVD risk in the context of psoriasis. DESIGN: …
A Mixed-Methods Pilot Study of the Acceptability and Effectiveness of a Brief Meditation and Mindfulness Intervention for People with Diabetes and Coronary Heart Disease
Mindfulness-based interventions can successfully target negative perseverative cognitions such as worry and thought suppression, but their acceptability and effectiveness in people with long-term conditions is uncertain. We therefore pilot tested a six-week meditation and mindfulness intervention in people (n = 40) with diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease. We used a sequential mixed-methods approach that measured change in worry and thou…
