Empowering Parent Carers of Children With Neurodisability in Healthcare Settings
Exploring Parent Carer Empowerment in Childhood Onset Disability
BACKGROUND: Supporting parent carers to have greater agency and control over the decisions and actions regarding the care of their child is a central tenet of contemporary health and social care policy. This study explored contextual factors influencing the empowerment of parent carers of disabled children from the perspective of a range of stakeholders. METHODS: We used focus groups and semi-structured interviews to collect data from 28 particip…
Operationalising readiness for practice in final OSCEs
BACKGROUND: Readiness for practice (RFP) is a critical outcome for medical education, reflecting a graduate’s ability to transition from student to clinician. Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) play a pivotal role in evaluating RFP. This study aimed to investigate the conceptualisation and operationalisation of RFP within the OSCE context and evaluate the contribution of a newly developed RFP-focused rating tool compared to tradit…
Physical activity interventions for older adults – an overview of systematic reviews
The proportion of people meeting recommended physical activity (PA) guidelines declines with age. Older adults who are physically inactive have an increased risk of: all-cause mortality; chronic diseases; injury and reduced cognitive functioning. Multiple systematic reviews aim to understand the effectiveness of PA interventions but the evidence is fragmented and it is unclear how well the research reflects the needs of older people. We conducted…
Co‐Producing Resources to Help Improve Access to Primary Care for Young People With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
BACKGROUND: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder resulting in negative long-term outcomes if untreated. Pathways to healthcare in the United Kingdom are complex, especially for those aged 16-25 transitioning between child and adult mental health services. We aimed to co-produce evidence-informed resources to improve accessibility of primary care for young people with ADHD. METHODS: We utilised co…

Changes to objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE) at Australian medical schools in response to the Covid-19 pandemic
INTRODUCTION: Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) are used to assess clinical skills. We investigated how exit OSCEs changed in Australian medical schools in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The lead ACCLAiM assessment academic from 12 eligible Australian medical school members of the Australian Collaboration for Clinical Assessment in Medicine (ACCLAiM) received a 45-item semi-structured online questionnair…
Examiners’ decision‐making processes in observation‐based clinical examinations
Recovery under sail
Sail training refers to sea voyages designed to foster personal and social change. Such training has mainly involved young people but may have the potential to benefit adults who are recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. During the voyage described here clients in drug rehabilitation centres across the UK were given the opportunity to participate in a 5-day sail training voyage. Pre- and post-voyage interviews were conducted with 11 clients…
A checklist to improve reporting of group-based behaviour-change interventions
The checklist is a practical tool that can be used, alongside other reporting guidelines, to ensure comprehensive description and to assess reporting quality of GB-BCIs. It can also be helpful for designing group-based health interventions
Resisting medications
Adherence research has been dominated by attitudinal approaches that isolate individual statements made in interviews and then assign a fixed attitude to the individual who made that statement. Despite much sociological research having raised questions about the notion of fixed attitudes, little research has theorised the process by which individual utterances about medicine-taking are produced as a form of resistance to medications within interv…
American Muslims and Religious Pluralism1
The issue of whether or not Islam as a religion allows for pluralism, or whether the Qur'an is a pluralistic scripture, seems to have taken on new urgency for some American Muslim scholars in light of 9/11 and reactions to Islam from other Americans. In this article I look at some of the ways these scholars have interpreted pluralism, grouping their responses into the general categories of concern for justice, internal critique of current realiti…
Postglacial vegetation history of Mitkof Island, Alexander Archipelago, southeastern Alaska
An AMS radiocarbon-dated pollen record from a peat deposit on Mitkof Island, southeastern Alaska provides a vegetation history spanning ∼12,900 cal yr BP to the present. Late Wisconsin glaciers covered the entire island; deglaciation occurred > 15,400 cal yr BP. The earliest known vegetation to develop on the island (∼12,900 cal yr BP) was pine woodland ( Pinus contorta ) with alder ( Alnus ), sedges (Cyperaceae) and ferns (Polypodiaceae type). B…
The Unfinished Stories of Two First Nations Mothers
This study is shaped by an underlying theoretical assumption that literacy is a cultural practice, shaped by and shaping social factors such as culture, gender, politics, and economics. As a result, this article focuses on the literacy practices of two mothers who participated in the study. Because of their Aboriginal ancestry and the historical context of their lives, these two participants fell into a community separate from the larger communit…

French Christian narratives concerning Muhammad and the religion of Islam from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries
French travellers to Muslim lands in the late middle ages and into the early modem period came for a variety of reasons. They were missionaries and pilgrims, diplomats, merchants and adventurers. Many of them recorded their travels for the edification of their compatriots, often including descriptions of Muslim peoples, their practices and their basic beliefs. The following essay summarizes the reflections of some of these travellers about the li…

Animals in Experimental Reports
In this paper, we analyze the ways in which the use of animals is described in the "Methods" sections of scientific papers. We focus particularly on aspects of the language of scientific narrative and what it conveys to the reader about the animals. Scientific writing, for example, tends to omit details of how the animals are cared for. Perhaps more importantly, it is constructed in ways that tend to minimize what is happening to the animal; thus…

Do Dollars Spent Relate to Outcomes in Burn Care
In light of limited health care funds, there is a need for reliable information relating costs to clinical outcomes. Distinction should be made between diseases for which improved outcomes relate to intensity of care and those for which limits of current knowledge preclude improved results. A survey of 1,656 burn admissions to 73 hospitals over a one-year period showed that length of stay, unpaid bills, and the proportion of unpaid bills to total…
The design of a transportation study with regard to the evaluation of its output
J. F. Smith (1970) The design of a transportation study with regard to the evaluation of its output, Reg. Studies 4, 193–204. The paper gives a brief summary of the methods of evaluation at present available for the system-wide evaluation of transport predictions. Recognizing two distinct problem areas, the design of studies which consider network options for a single land-use prediction, and the design of studies involving network alternatives a…
