Public health palliative care interventions that enable communities to support people who are dying and their carers

This community-provider partnership approach has the potential to improve end-of-life care for people who are dying and their carers. Objective: To identify and appraise the current literature related to public health interventions that enable communities to support people who are dying and their carers.

Poverty, choice and dying in the UK
People living on a low income are less likely to access palliative care in the UK; however, beyond the statistics, little is known about the impact of poverty on attitudes towards death and experiences of dying and bereavement. Covid-19 has disproportionally affected poorer communities and foregrounded issues of social and health inequalities including experiences of loss and grief. Whilst this might suggest an opportune moment for embracing incl…
Teachers’ views on the acceptability and implementation of the Incredible Years ® Teacher Classroom Management programme in English (UK) primary schools from the STARS trial
BACKGROUND: (IY) Teacher Classroom Management (TCM) programme may reduce disruptive behaviour in the classroom and improve child and teacher mental health; however, few studies have considered how acceptable TCM is to teachers or what facilitators and barriers there are to its implementation. AIMS: In this paper we examine the acceptability of the full 6-day TCM programme and teachers' perceived barriers and facilitators to implementation in the …
An engaged approach to exploring issues around poverty and mental health
BACKGROUND: Involving patients, service users, carers and members of the public in research has been part of health policy and practice in the UK for the last 15 years. However, low-income communities tend to remain marginalized from the co-design and delivery of mental health research, perpetuating the potential for health inequalities. Greater understanding is therefore needed on how to meaningfully engage low-income communities in mental healt…

However, few studies have considered what teachers think of the course and how it might work.AimsIn this paper, we examine teachers' perceptions of the impact of the TCM programme and how it might work in the classroom.Sample(s)Forty-…
The violence of narrative
Narratives of self-responsibility are pervasive in neoliberally oriented contexts, and have been found to engender feelings of shame and failure amongst those affected by poverty. Here, we use findings from research in two low-income communities in south-west England to examine how these narratives become embodied within people's daily lives when they intersect with systems of welfare support and the current political drive to upscale treatment f…

This paper examines the impact of increased welfare conditionality on people with mental health issues claiming benefits in the UK. Drawing on data from the DeStress study, this paper explores the lived experience of welfare claimants in low-income communities, and the perspectives of GPs seeking to support them. Particular focus is placed on people’s experience of the Work Capability Assessment, the tool used to determine welfare claimants’ enti…
