Eco-Socialist Strategy
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,…
Adapting a Preparatory Skills‐Building Programme for Carers of People With Cancer Through Co‐Design

This study aimed to address this need by adapting an evidence-based intervention to be suitable for carers of people with cancer. METHODS: This …

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…
Is music listening an effective intervention for reducing anxiety? A systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled studies
Anxiety is the most commonly diagnosed mental health disorder in the EU and 18% of the US population experiences an anxiety disorder at any one time. However, only 20% of individuals experiencing anxiety receive a formally administered intervention, highlighting a need for evidence-based interventions that can be self-administered. Music listening can be flexibly self-administered and may be useful for anxiety reduction, but further evidence is n…
Supporting carers to improve patient safety and maintain their well‐being in transitions from mental health hospitals to the community
INTRODUCTION: Carers of people with mental illness may face distinct challenges, including navigating fragmented health and social services during discharge from mental health hospitals. Currently, limited examples of interventions that support carers of people with mental illness in improving patient safety during transitions of care exist. We aimed to identify problems and solutions to inform future carer-led discharge interventions, which is i…

Method : We conducted separate focus groups with younger ( n = 11) and older adults ( n = 14) in the United Kingdom with personal or professional experience of dementia. Discussions were prompted by two vignettes depicting scenarios of ADID. The data were transcribed and analysed using thematic…

The Basic HIV Disease Knowledge Questionnaire
The need for improvement in HIV disease-related psychometric questionnaires is noted. In response to this need a Rasch-scaled measure to ascertain basic HIV disease knowledge was developed and calibrated on 1092 subjects. Four studies conducted with the measure suggest adequate test-retest reliability. Three validity studies also conducted with this questionnaire suggest that the measure is sensitive to knowledge obtained from HIV-related trainin…

I was fed up with my wife, I was not happy at all, because in the four years since I had married her she was not pregnant” (Tutuola, 1981: 21). Thus does the narrator of Amos Tutuola's The Witch Herbalist of the Remote Town express his distress at his wife's barrenness. The problem so pained him that he undertook a six-year quest in search of a cure, because to remain childless would be untenable. The issue of fertility and the need to perpetuate…
