Social change innovations, citizen science, miniSass and the SDGs
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) describe a course of action to address poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all (https://sdgs.un.org/goals). More specifically, SDG 6 clarifies how water quality, quantity and access are crucial to human well-being, and yet human activities are compromising water resources through over-exploitation, pollution, as well as contributing to the spread of disease. Globally aquati…
Geographic Boundary Definitions and the Robustness of Common Food Retail Environment Measures
Understanding the relationship between the retail food environment and individual and community health is important for addressing questions about diet-related disease and food security. A wide range of methodological approaches have been used to understand this complex relationship, but the studies have resulted in a lack of consensus on how and whether the food retail environment influences health outcomes and food choice. Inconsistency in meas…
Hybrid Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials of Interventions for Depressive Symptoms in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
An integrative analytical model for the water-energy-food nexus
The missing link between cross-sectoral resource management and full-scale adoption of the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus has been the lack of analytical tools that provide evidence for policy and decision-making. This study defined WEF nexus sustainability indicators, from where an analytical model was developed to manage WEF resources in an integrated manner using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The model established quantitative relations…
Every structure we're taught goes out the window”
Up to 40% of general practitioners (GP) consultations contain an emotional component. General practitioners (GPs) have to provide care with limited time and resources. This qualitative study aimed to explore how GPs care for patients experiencing emotional concerns within the constraints of busy clinical practice. Seven GPs participated in three focus groups. Groups were recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically. Three themes were identifie…

Variation in ambulance call rates for care homes in Torbay, UK
Emergency ambulance calls represent one of the routes of emergency hospital admissions from care homes. We aimed to describe the pattern of ambulance call rates from care homes and identify factors predicting those homes calling for an ambulance most frequently. We obtained data from South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust on 3138 ambulance calls relating to people aged 65 and over from care homes in the Torbay region between 1 April…
How does mental-physical multimorbidity express itself in lived time and space? A phenomenological analysis of encounters with depression and chronic physical illness
Characteristics of Psychological Interventions That Improve Depression in People With Coronary Heart Disease
OBJECTIVE: Despite previous intervention trials, it is unclear which psychological treatments are most effective for people with coronary heart disease (CHD). We have conducted a systematic review with meta-regression to identify the characteristics of psychological interventions that improve depression and depressive symptoms among people with CHD. METHODS: Searches of multiple electronic databases up to March 2012 were conducted, supplemented b…
A Mixed-Methods Pilot Study of the Acceptability and Effectiveness of a Brief Meditation and Mindfulness Intervention for People with Diabetes and Coronary Heart Disease
Mindfulness-based interventions can successfully target negative perseverative cognitions such as worry and thought suppression, but their acceptability and effectiveness in people with long-term conditions is uncertain. We therefore pilot tested a six-week meditation and mindfulness intervention in people (n = 40) with diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease. We used a sequential mixed-methods approach that measured change in worry and thou…

New Onset Depression Following Myocardial Infarction Predicts Cardiac Mortality
Objective: Studies investigating the effects of depression on mortality following myocardial infarction (MI) have produced heterogeneous findings. We report on a study investigating whether the timing of the onset of depression, with regard to the MI, affected its impact on subsequent cardiac mortality. Methods: Five hundred and eighty-eight subjects admitted following MI underwent assessments of cardiac status, cardiac risk factors, and noncardi…
