Exploring Inclusion in Austria’s Breast Cancer Screening: A Dual-Perspective Study of Women with Intellectual Disabilities and Their Caregivers
Women with intellectual disabilities (IDs) face persistent health inequities, particularly in preventive services such as breast cancer screening, where participation rates remain disproportionately low. These disparities contribute to higher mortality and poorer survivorship outcomes, often linked to later-stage diagnoses. To better understand these challenges and inform the development of inclusive screening programs, this qualitative study con…

Displaced Syrian Mental Health Workers: An Investigation of Professional Quality of Life
This study investigates levels of secondary traumatic stress, burnout, and compassion satisfaction in Syrian mental health workers (MHWs) in a low-resource post-conflict environment. Sixty-one Syrian MHWs completed a cross-sectional questionnaire, in Arabic, incorporating the professional quality of life (ProQOL) scale. Our Arabic-translated ProQOL scale showed acceptable internal consistency estimates of reliability for all subscales. Relative t…
The impact of culture on anxiety related cognitions: An exploration with Saudi-Arabian individuals

Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 14 participants with an ICD diagnosis of panic an…
Factors associated with mental health disclosure outside of the workplace: A systematic literature review

In this systematic review, we examined the findings of studies looking at factors affecting adults’ decisions to disclose or conceal a mental health problem outside of the workplace. Key databases (PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science) revealed 19 relevan…

Tackling stigma associated with intellectual disability among the general public: A study of two indirect contact interventions
Public awareness, attitudes and beliefs regarding intellectual disability: A systematic review
Using discourse analysis to study the experiences of women with learning disabilities
There has been a steady rise in interest in qualitative research methods in the area of learning disability over recent years. Discourse analysis has found relatively little use though, particularly in studying the experiences of people with learning disabilities directly, rather than the accounts of non-disabled informants. The present study used a discourse analytic approach in examining the accounts of women with learning disabilities, in orde…
