Influencing Factors for the Acceptability of Accessing HIV Pre‐exposure Prophylaxis via Community Pharmacies in Wales
INTRODUCTION: HIV prevention methods, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), have been a significant contributing factor to a global decline in HIV transmission. PrEP has been available through the NHS in Wales since 2017. However, access is exclusively via sexual health clinics, and those accessing PrEP do not reflect those being diagnosed with HIV. Widening access beyond sexual health clinics may be one approach to encourage more equitable up…
HIV Pre‐Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Users' Experiences of PrEP Access, Sexual Behaviour, and Well‐Being During the Covid‐19 Pandemic
BACKGROUND: HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) has been available in Wales since 2017. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic impacted UK sexual health services, leading to a reduction in service provision. There is a lack of research on the experiences of PrEP users during this time. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to explore the experiences of PrEP users in Wales following the introduction of COVID-19 pandemic measures. METHODS: We conducted a second…
The Effects of Problematic Internet Use and Emotional Connotation on Internet Slang Processing
Effects of implementation support on children's reading outcomes following an online early reading programme
Well‐designed computer or app‐based instruction has a number of potential benefits (eg increasing accessibility and feasibility of high‐quality instruction, reducing time and resources required for training expert delivery, saving instructional time). However, variation in implementation can still affect outcomes when using educational technology. Research generally suggests that without follow‐up support after training, implementation of educati…
Psychometric Properties of an Adapted Stigma Scale and Experiences of Stigma Associated with HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Use Among Men Who have Sex with Men
Stigma may influence the use of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). However, there is an absence of robust measures for PrEP-related stigma. We describe an adaptation of a HIV stigma scale for use in PrEP users and experiences of PrEP users in Wales (UK) with regards to PrEP-related stigma. A mixed methods study was conducted where PrEP users completed questionnaire items about PrEP-related stigma and a subset were interviewed about their experi…
Experiences of men who have sex with men when initiating, implementing and persisting with HIV pre‐exposure prophylaxis
INTRODUCTION: HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) involves the use of antiretroviral medication in HIV-negative individuals considered to be at risk of acquiring HIV. It has been shown to prevent HIV and has been available in Wales since July 2017. Measuring and understanding adherence to PrEP is complex as it relies on the simultaneous understanding of both PrEP use and sexual activity. We aimed to understand the experiences of men who have sex …
Understanding the support experiences of families of children with autism and sensory processing difficulties
BACKGROUND: Support, such as information, advice and therapies, can play a vital role in the lives of families of autistic children. However, little is known about the support experiences of UK parents and carers. AIM: To explore experiences of and access to support for families of children with autism and sensory processing difficulties, from the perspective of parents and carers. METHODS: Semi-structured, timeline-assisted interviews were condu…
The relationship between HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, sexually transmitted infections, and antimicrobial resistance
There is a belief that PrEP use will lead to an increase in STI rates through reduced condom use, despite reported behaviours often being stable in relation to PrEP initiation, PrEP stigma may be influencing this dichotomy. Concern and awareness for resistant STIs is low, with little association to PrEP
Changing sexual behaviours amongst MSM during the Covid-19 restrictions in Wales
The COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions had a significant impact on sexual behaviours among MSM in Wales, with the majority fully adhering to the lockdown rules. Although the population were largely compliant with the lockdown restrictions, lockdown fatigue may suggest that any future lockdowns might not have the same effect
PrEP Use, Sexual Behaviour, and PrEP Adherence Among Men who have Sex with Men Living in Wales Prior to and During the Covid-19 Pandemic
We examined PrEP use, condomless anal sex (CAS), and PrEP adherence among men who have sex with men (MSM) attending sexual health clinics in Wales, UK. In addition, we explored the association between the introduction of measures to control transmission of SARS-CoV-2 on these outcomes. We conducted an ecological momentary assessment study of individuals in receipt of PrEP in Wales. Participants used an electronic medication cap to record PrEP use…
Between- and Within-Individual Sociodemographic and Psychological Determinants of PrEP Adherence Among Men Who have Sex with Men Prescribed a Daily PrEP Regimen in Wales
We investigated the determinants of daily PrEP use and coverage of condomless anal sex (CAS) by PrEP among men who have sex with men in Wales, UK. We measured PrEP use by electronic monitors and CAS by secure online surveys. We defined PrEP use based on daily medication cap openings and coverage as CAS episodes preceded by ≥ 3 days of PrEP use and followed by ≥ 2 days of PrEP use. We included 57 participants (5463 observations). An STI diagnosis …
Early Positive Approaches to Support (E-PAtS) for Families of Young Children With Intellectual Disability
Background: Parents of children with intellectual disabilities are likely to experience poorer mental well-being and face challenges accessing support. Early Positive Approaches to Support (E-PAtS) is a group-based programme, co-produced with parents and professionals, based on existing research evidence and a developmental systems approach to support parental mental well-being. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of community ser…
Supporting families and carers of people living with multiple sclerosis
Supportive interventions are needed for the family and carers of people with multiple sclerosis. A rapid realist review and realist evaluation explored what helps, who it helps, when and how. Literature analysis was synthesised with a thematic analysis of qualitative interviews and focus groups with 49 family and carers of people with multiple sclerosis. The resulting model summarised a family of interventions that could help people develop their…
An application of Extended Normalisation Process Theory in a randomised controlled trial of a complex social intervention
Extended Normalisation Process Theory provided a useful framework for assessing implementation and explaining variation by examining intervention-context interactions. Findings highlight the need for process evaluations to consider both the structural and process components of implementation to explain whether programme activities are delivered as intended and why
Filming the Classics
Russian film adaptations of the literary heritage have been part of Russian cultural history for over a hundred years, with works by Pushkin, Chekhov, Gogol, Tolstoy and Dostoevskii adapted for the screen before the Revolution and the dawn of the 'Golden Age' of Soviet cinema.The director Mikhail Shveitser (1920-2000) came to specialize in adapting Russian literary works for the screen, and his film of Tolstoy's 1899 novel Resurrection (Воскресен…

Sustaining Problem‐solving Capacity in Collaborative Networks
Research Summary: Comprehensive Community Initiatives (CCIs) attempt to build collaborative networks within the community and enhance the community's collaborative social problem‐solving capacity to address specific criminal justice problems. In this paper, we use network analysis methods to operationalize the collaborative problem‐solving capacity in two sites involved in the Comprehensive Strategy for Serious, Violent and Chronic Juvenile Offen…
The Sounds of Music
In this article, David C. Gillespie explores the deliberate foregrounding of music and song in Soviet film. He begins with a discussion of the structural and organizing roles of music and song in early Soviet sound films, including tiiose by Sergei Eizenshtein, Grigorii Aleksandrov, Ivan Pyr'ev, and Aleksandr Ivanovskii. Gillespie then focuses on the emphasis on urban song in some of the most popular films of the stagnation years, such asThe Whit…

The Life and Work of Fedor Abramov
Fedor Aleksandrovich Abramov (1920-83) was one of the leading representatives of the Russian village prose movement of the 1960s and 1970s. In this work, scholars from the United States and abroad draw on Abramov's works, his diaries, and his private writings as sources for examining Abramov's place within the village prose movement and within Anglo-American theories of cultural reception. The text includes an essay by Abramov's widow, as well as…
Poststroke Anxiety and its Relationship to Coping and Stage of Recovery
Anxiety disorders are reported to be common but poorly understood poststroke phenomena. The relationships between symptoms of anxiety, coping activity, and stage of recovery were investigated in 44 subjects who had suffered strokes (mean age 68.6 years). Consistent with general models of anxiety disorders, anxiety was associated with more frequent use of avoidant coping strategies. No significant relationship was found between time poststroke and…
Parables from the Past
James Mozur traces the development of Chingiz Aitmatov's fiction from the early 1950s through the mid-1970s, including Farewell, Gul'sary!, White Ship, Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years, and The Place of the Skull. He discusses each major work against the political and cultural background in which it was created and thereby widens our understanding of post-Stalinist Soviet literature. Chingiz Aitmatov was born in Kirghizstan in 1928 and publish…
