Women’s experiences of discussing health behaviours within their maternity care
Women’s Experiences of Screening and Assessment of Mental Health Problems in the Perinatal Period
Mental health problems occur frequently in the perinatal period and timely identification is key for appropriate support to be offered. Women are routinely asked about their mental health and may undergo formal screening as part of healthcare services in the perinatal period. The aim of this review was to explore women’s views and experiences of being screened for mental health problems and to identify which aspects of this screening process they…

Closing a community-engaged project with care
Co-authors Lee and Peters collaborated across 2019-2021 on a community-engaged project with Carclew's ExpressWay Arts. They ask, when your creative practice is premised on relationship building, belonging and care, how do you step away from projects responsibly, meaningfully and carefully? This article explores how establishing rituals of closure in every workshop, explicitly naming the ending, acknowledging how the creative relationship may chan…
Preparing Artists to Save the World
The sustained marginalisation of creative arts in higher education in Australia risks the delivery of superficial learning experiences that are disconnected from the relationality of place, people, and histories. The metrics used to assess a university's capacity to produce "job-ready graduates" does not adequately capture the success of students in the creative arts, leading to under resourcing in these disciplines and, ironically, limiting the …
What is important to service users and staff when implementing suicide-focused psychological therapies for people with psychosis into mental health services
Whilst all stakeholders viewed a suicide-focused therapy as valuable for people experiencing psychosis, they also recognize that enabling successful implementation of such interventions will require additional training, flexibility, and resources to existing services
A systematic investigation of the short and long term experiences of taking part in research about suicidal thoughts and acts in the context of a randomised controlled trial
Partaking in studies about suicide can be a positive experience. There is also evidence of some negative impacts in the days immediately following participation. No research has examined both the short and longer term effects of repeated assessment of an individual's suicidal thoughts/behaviours. Clinical trials can involve multiple suicide assessments over several months. The current study investigated whether participants experienced any brief …
Educators’ experiences and perspectives of child weight discussions with parents in primary school settings
Whilst educator-parent child weight discussions are necessary, discussions are highly challenging, with contradictory views on responsibility sometimes resulting in avoidance. Educators' roles should be clarified, and communication training tailored to increase teacher confidence and skills. Current social distancing will likely reduce opportunistic encounters, highlighting a need to further improve communication routes
Data protection, information governance and the potential erosion of ethnographic methods in health care
With the most recent developments to the European General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) introduced in May 2018, the resulting legislation meant a new set of considerations for study approvers and health-care researchers. Compared with previous legislation in the UK (The Data Protection Act, 1998), it introduced more extensive and directive principles, requiring anybody 'processing' personal data to specifically define how this data will be o…

Predictors of Out-of-Class Mindfulness Practice Adherence During and After a Mindfulness-Based Intervention
OBJECTIVE: Out-of-class mindfulness meditation practice is a health behavior that is considered to be a crucial ingredient in mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), yet participant adherence to practice recommendations is often inconsistent. Furthermore, MBIs may enhance factors that lead to greater adherence to medical regimens in other contexts. This study examined baseline factors previously found to relate to adherence to medical regimen, MB…

This article details my application of the RPCS methodology when researching the process and impact of verbatim theatre practice within the context of writing and performing the verb…

Two themes summarised views on the role of health professionals in supportin…
Understanding medical students' views of chronic fatigue syndrome

Inductive thematic analysis taking a realist perspective produced three themes: limited …
