Perceptions of body weight that vary by body mass index
This project aimed to identify the perceptions of body weight that vary by body mass index. First, a qualitative study explored body weight perceptions in 17 individuals with overweight. Second, a questionnaire was developed and completed by a UK sample with body mass index from 16.6 to 59.7 kg/m 2 ( N = 328). A higher body mass index was associated with perceptions of less personal control and responsibility. Body mass index in females was also …

We reviewed the literature on service user and carer involvement in social work education to identify models and methods that have been used, and …
The Meaningful Involvement of Service Users and Carers in Advanced-Level Post-Qualifying Social Work Education
The Social Work Reform Board is undertaking an ambitious programme of reform in the UK. This includes enhancing the professional status of social work and reforming social work education. The nature and purpose of service user and carer involvement at all levels of social work education need to be considered alongside this. However, the nature of meaningful involvement of service users and carers in advanced post-qualifying education has not been…
Older women who are caregivers
Many families provide primary care for their impaired elders. The burden of care, however, is not shared equally among all family members. Most care is provided by adult women in the family. The trends, burden, motivation, and implications related to family care‐givers are discussed. This area of concern is pertinent to health care professionals since the primary phenomenon in all health care settings is caregiving
