Caring for people with dementia in their own homes
Little is known about risk management in homecare for people with dementia. We aimed to gain an understanding of the ways in which homecare workers assess and manage risk whilst caring for people with dementia in their own homes. We conducted a qualitative interview study with 17 homecare workers assisting people with dementia with their personal care. Interviews were face-to-face, semi-structured, recorded and transcribed verbatim. Analysis was …
Risks and risk mitigation in homecare for people with dementia—A two‐sided matter
Home‐care workers' experiences of assisting people with dementia with their personal care
Home-care workers are increasingly caring for clients living with dementia. Workers usually have limited dementia training and are low paid and often lone working. Little is known about how home-care workers assist people with dementia with their personal care. We aimed to explore the experiences of home-care workers and the knowledge and skills they rely on when providing personal care to people with dementia. In 2020, we conducted 17 semi-struc…
True Cowmen and Commercial Farmers
Responsibility for biosecurity in UK farming is being devolved from government to industry, with a greater emphasis on the veterinarian (vet)-farmer relationship. Although social science has shown that care for animals is part of 'good farming', the British dairy sector sees a need to improve biosecurity. This research uses the good farmer concept to compare how vets and dairy farmers define good farming for biosecurity based on qualitative inter…
Gypsies/Travellers and health
Risk categorisation provides a routine and necessary contribution to the way people make sense of and impute predictability in a complex human world of which their knowledge is limited. It is a precursor to the development of risk management strategies. Risk categorisation schemes can vary depending on the underlying perspective and knowledge used in their construction. There are estimated to be between 120,000 and 300,000 Gypsies and Travellers …
Diabetes in the workplace - diabetic’s perceptions and experiences of managing their disease at work
Little research has examined the way in which employees with diabetes manage their disease in the workplace. This research shows there is a need to increase the awareness of managers of the short and long term economic benefit of supporting employees with diabetes to manage their disease effectively whist at work. Employees may need individually assessed and tailored support on the job in order to manage their disease effectively
If you feel that nobody wants you you'll withdraw into your own
Gypsies and Travellers are the unhealthiest group in British society, suffering from higher levels of physical and mental illness, lower life expectancy and with low levels of healthcare utilisation. They also continue to experience the highest level of prejudice and discrimination in society. While studies indicate that social networks play an important role in shaping health beliefs and the response to symptoms, evidence on the influence of net…
Negotiating competency, professionalism and risk
Isolation
Place is an essential aspect of our identity and contributes to our ontological security. Who we are is shaped by and reflected in the places we occupy and the spaces we control. Places have both a topography of risk and of protection. They can be considered, on the one hand, as risk spaces containing differing levels of hazard and, on the other hand, as resource spaces with the goods and services needed to protect residents from harm. This paper…
Interpreting and managing risk in a machine bureaucracy
Since the early 1990s there has been an active movement towards scientific – bureaucratic medicine which incorporates accumulated biomedical research evidence with the use of algorithmic rules in order to specify clinical action and reduce variation in practice. Health professionals' claims to authority, for identifying and managing risk, are increasingly being challenged through the imposition of bureaucratic devices to control their professiona…
Risk, anxiety and defensive action
Women visiting their general practitioners with breast problems are a common occurrence in the United Kingdom (UK). General practitioners can expect to see around 30 new presentations per 1000 women each year. Although routine, this aspect of their work is characterized by a considerable degree of uncertainty. Differential diagnosis is difficult and the most important problem facing the general practitioner is how to distinguish between symptoms …
Coronary heart disease
Coronary heart disease (CHD) kills over 135,000 people each year. The underlying premise of this study was that women might not assess themselves as at risk because CHD has generally been perceived within popular culture, medicine and research as a man's disease. Hayes ( Social Science and Medicine, 35, pp. 55-61, 1991) suggests that critical to the success of any risk assessment strategy is: the identification of risk markers that can accurately…
