Perspectives on public involvement in health research from Singapore
BACKGROUND: Singapore is an international research hub, with an emphasis on translational clinical research. Despite growing evidence of the positive impact of public involvement (PPI) in research, it remains rare in Singapore. AIMS: To investigate Singaporean public perspectives around the rationale, role and scope for being involved in health research To identify the potential, challenges, facilitators and strategies for implementing PPI in Sin…
Aging well with chronic pain in rural areas
Over half of people in the UK aged 75 years and above experience chronic pain – defined as pain lasting three or more months. Chronic pain can impact activities of daily living, quality of life, and independence. Rural perspectives on aging with chronic pain are rare despite demographic trends indicating that rural populations are aging faster than urban populations and with an increasing prevalence of long-term painful conditions. Through interv…
Embracing a 'new normal
Stoma surgery can be a life-changing procedure due to bodily changes and related psychological responses. Despite previous literature identifying unique challenges for young adults living with a long-term condition, no studies have explored the biographical implications of stoma formation. Drawing on interviews with 13 young adults, aged 18-29 years, with a stoma resulting from inflammatory bowel disease, this article aims to generate new theoret…
Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement in a doctoral research project exploring self‐harm in older adults
Researchers' perspectives on public involvement in health research in Singapore
BACKGROUND: Singapore is becoming a world-class research hub, promoting the advancement of patient care through translational clinical research. Despite growing evidence internationally of the positive impact of public involvement (PPI), in Singapore PPI remains unusual beyond patient participation as subjects in studies. OBJECTIVE: To explore health researchers' understandings of the principles, role and scope of PPI, and to identify barriers an…
Involving the public in health research in Latin America
Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) has been increasingly encouraged in health services and research over the last two decades. Particularly strong evidence has been presented with regard to the impact that PPIE has in certain research areas, such as mental health. Involving the public in mental health research has the potential to improve the quality of research and reduce the power imbalance between researchers and participants…
Biographical suspension and liminality of Self in accounts of severe sciatica
Saturation in qualitative research
Saturation has attained widespread acceptance as a methodological principle in qualitative research. It is commonly taken to indicate that, on the basis of the data that have been collected or analysed hitherto, further data collection and/or analysis are unnecessary. However, there appears to be uncertainty as to how saturation should be conceptualized, and inconsistencies in its use. In this paper, we look to clarify the nature, purposes and us…
Health literacy, associated lifestyle and demographic factors in adult population of an English city
BACKGROUND: Lower health literacy is a public health issue that follows a social gradient, potentially reinforcing existing health inequalities. However, levels of health literacy in particular populations can be unclear and are a key to identifying effective public health interventions. This research examined health literacy levels in Stoke-on-Trent, where 31.2% of the population live in areas classified amongst the 10% most deprived in England.…
The Role of Qualitative Research in Clinical Trial Development
This article outlines the rationale for adopting a mixed methods approach within randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and explores challenges associated in doing so. Taking the example of the EASE Back feasibility and pilot study ( E valuating A cupuncture and S tandard care for pregnant wom E n with BACK pain: ISRCTN49955124), we detail why and how we operationalized a concurrent-sequential mixed methods research design. We present key findings f…
Identifying levels of vulnerability in grief using the Adult Attitude to Grief scale
A key challenge for service providers and practitioners in the field of bereavement is to match clients’ varied needs with equally diverse approaches to care. In order to provide these appropriate and effective interventions, it is crucial to have a reliable means of assessing levels of vulnerability in bereaved clients. The Range of Response to Loss model (RRL) and Adult Attitude to Grief scale (AAG) have evolved as practice tools able to profil…
Exploring the age-friendliness of purpose-built retirement communities
This article contributes to emerging debates around age-friendly environments, providing empirical evidence concerning the relative age-friendliness of purpose-built retirement communities. Adopting a new definition – ‘underpinned by a commitment to respect and social inclusion, an age-friendly community is engaged in a strategic and ongoing process to facilitate active ageing by optimising the community's physical and social environments and its…
Identifying vulnerability in grief
Then and now
There is currently much debate in the United Kingdom policy and practice literature about how best to respond to the care and accommodation needs of people as they retire and grow older. Against a policy background which espouses the benefits of ‘lifetime homes and lifetime neighbourhoods’, the growth of purpose-built segregated retirement villages looks somewhat contradictory and is set to transform the housing scene. Whilst there has been consi…
The Casp-19 as a measure of quality of life in old age
Housing and care for older people
Retirement communities are a relatively new long-term accommodation and care option in the United Kingdom. Policy makers and providers endorse the proposition that they are suited for the accommodation of both ‘fit’ and ‘frail’ older people, although comparatively little is known about what it is actually like to live in such communities, about whether they cater adequately for older people with a wide spectrum of needs and abilities, or if they …
