Back-on-Track: Protocol for Randomised Controlled Feasibility Trial of Behavioural Activation in Farmers with Mood Problems
The mental health of people living in farming communities has been identified as an important public health issue. Cumulative exposure to a range of situational factors contributes to heightened risk of poor mental health and suicide. Access to evidence-based psychological treatments is limited by the availability of skilled mental health professionals. The aim of this trial-co-designed by members of the farming community-is to establish the feas…

It's not Just a Wall”: Malangatana's Zimpeto Mural and Peacebuilding in Mozambique
This study investigates the late Mozambican artist Malangatana Valente Ngwenya's mural in Zimpeto as an art object that contributed to peacebuilding in Mozambique during the devastating internal conflict known as the Sixteen Years War (1976–1992). The article draws on an interview with Malangatana Valente Ngwenya recorded while shooting the BBC TV film Homeland, the raw footage used as ethnographic material and recent interviews with the artist's…
The ‘recipe for success’: Co-designing strategies to enhance care transitions from hospital to home
Background: There is growing recognition of the importance and benefits of patient-and caregiver-centred care approaches for older adults and individuals with complex medical needs during points of care transitions. Effective care transitions can improve patient, caregiver, and provider experiences, and reduce avoidable emergency department visits and readmissions. Despite the widely recognized benefit of effective care transitions, health care p…
The Association between Nursing Skill Mix and Patient Outcomes in a Mental Health Setting: An Observational Feasibility Study
Higher levels of educational preparation for nurses are associated with lower mortality rates in both medical and surgical wards. In mental health inpatient wards, few studies have examined whether specialist mental health nurse training has any impact on patient outcomes. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to establish the feasibility of extracting and linking nurse education and inpatient outcome data from hospital administra…
Rural health workers' perspectives and experience with an online educational program in behavioural activation: A thematic analysis
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for depression. There are established education programmes which prepare specialist mental health workers to practice CBT. CBT is a complex treatment requiring intensive preparation and clinical skill to deliver. An alternative and simpler psychological treatment, behavioural activation (BA), may be as effective as CBT. An advantage of BA over CBT is that you do not need to be a specia…
Adherence to Coreq Reporting Guidelines for Qualitative Research: A Scientometric Study in Nursing Social Science
Qualitative research plays an important role in helping us describe, interpret and generate theories about complex phenomena in healthcare. Complete and transparent reporting of research informs readers about the significance and rigor of the work. The aim of this scientometric study was to determine the quality of reporting of qualitative research in nursing social science. Studies were identified by manually searching the table of contents for …
Depression in migrant workers and nationals of Qatar: An exploratory cross-cultural study
Background: The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of depressive symptoms among migrants and non-migrants living in Qatar and identify variables associated with depressive symptomology in these groups, including culture of origin, time living in country and perceived quality of life. In addition, we tested if the latter two variables moderated the effect of culture of origin on depressive symptomology in the migrant groups. Subject a…
Physical Health Care for People with Severe Mental Illness: The Attitudes, Practices, and Training Needs of Nurses in Three Asian Countries
People with severe mental illness (SMI) have considerable unmet physical health needs and an increased risk of early mortality. This cross-sectional survey utilized the Physical Health Attitude Scale (PHASe) to examine the attitudes, practices, and training needs of nurses towards physical health care of people with SMI in three Asian countries (Hong Kong, Japan, Qatar). Cross-country differences were explored and linear regression was used to in…
Rural and metropolitan South Australian mental health workers’ views about nurse prescribing: A thematic analysis
Almost one third of the South Australian population reside in regional locations, which are serviced by just 8% of the State's total psychiatrist workforce. Consequently, access to psychotropic medications in regional South Australia (SA) can be challenging. Granting prescribing rights to mental health nurses (MHNs) located in regional settings presents an opportunity to increase consumer access to psychotropic medications. The aim of the study w…
Questionable practices despite good intentions: Coping with risk and impact from dementia-related behaviours in care homes
Care-home residents with dementia can experience behavioural and psychological symptoms such as aggression, agitation, anxiety, wandering, calling out and sexual disinhibition. Care-home staff have a duty to keep residents safe. However, residents with dementia can pose particular challenges in this area. In this paper, we draw on a study which explored how care-home staff manage dementia-related behaviours. In-depth ethnographic case studies at …
Portuguese Musketeers on the Zambezi
The next major military operation was the intervention of Diogo Simoes Madeira on behalf of Mutapa Gatsi Rusere against dissident sections led by Matuzianhe in 1609. Small numbers of musketeers, varying in strength from thirty to seventy, co-operating with the Mutapa&s;s armies, were here able to turn the scales in several engagements against much more numerous forces. Rightly, the intervention has been seen as one of the most important steps by …

AIMS: To establish the efficacy of adherence therapy (AT) compared to treatment as usual (TAU) in improving clinical outcomes in patients with schizophrenia following an acute exacerbation of illness. METHOD: A parallel-group, single-blind, randomised controlled trial. Fieldwork was conducted in Thailand. Patients received eight weekly sessions of…
Does training practice nurses to carry out physical health checks for people with severe mental illness increase the level of screening for cardiovascular risk
BACKGROUND: Compared to the general population, people with severe mental illness (SMI) have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Authors of clinical guidelines advise annual screening for CVD risk factors with appropriate lifestyle counselling. There are seven recommended elements of this health check: blood pressure, body mass index (or waist circumference), blood glucose, serum cholesterol, diet advice, exercise recommenda…

Perception and Action: The Taste Test
Traditional accounts of perception endorse an input–output model: perception is the input from world to mind and action is the output from mind to world. In contrast, enactive accounts propose action to be constitutive of perception. We focus on Noë's sensorimotor version of enactivism, with the aim of clarifying the proper limits of enactivism more generally. Having explained Noë's particular version of enactivism, which accounts for the content…

Eclipse Maps
These maps show the paths of central eclipse for 164 total solar eclipses visible in Africa in the period A.D. 1000 to 2000. It is hoped that they may suggest periods and areas where records of eclipses might be found in oral tradition or other sources, and also that they, or their originals, will assist in at least the preliminary stages of identifying such a record with a particular eclipse. The originals have been drawn on a scale of 1: 10,000…

uniting its peoples. Regional nationalism, in so far as it exists, is the product of the area's contact with the outside world over the last hundred years, and in any developed, conscious form it was restricted before the late I96os to a relatively small number of educated Southerners who were able to generalize from the experience of their peoples. To apply the label of 'regional nationalism' to such a situation is therefore virtually to accept …

Come vero Prencipe Catolico: The Capuchins and the rulers of Soyo in the late seventeenth century
Opening ParagraphStudents of Europe's contact with Africa have long regarded the Christian missions in the ancient kingdom of Kongo as a peculiarly potent symbol. For some the conversion and subsequent reign of Afonso I in the first half of the sixteenth century were a momentary aberration, a false dawn quickly to be obscured by the realities of the exploitation associated with mercantile capitalism and the horrors of the Atlantic slave trade. Fo…

Christian Traces and a Franciscan Mission in the Central Sudan, 1700–1711
In 1700 reports from Tripoli reached the congregation of Propaganda Fide in Rome that Christians, ‘little or uninstructed in the Faith’, were living in Bornu. Further enquiries revealed that these rumours related not to the kingdom of Bornu, but to a neighbouring, rival kingdom, that of ‘Gourourfa’ or ‘Carnorfa’. Two sons of the ruler of Bornu, interviewed in Cairo, stated that in ‘Canorfa’ there were people ‘who venerate the Cross and erect it o…

Portuguese Musketeers on the Zambezi
The Portuguese historian of Mozambique, Alexandre Lobato, has referred to the ‘arms and powder, which guaranteed an overwhelming military superiority’ in the Zambezi hinterland, but a rapid survey of the evidence most easily available would suggest that, until the introduction of the maxim gun, the use of firearms seldom, if ever, constituted a decisive military advantage in Central Africa. Guns might sometimes decide the fate of battles, but by …
