Extending understanding of ‘care’ as an embodied phenomenon: Alexander Technique teacher perspectives on restoring carers to themselves
Data from an international survey of teachers of the Alexander Technique – an embodied form of self-care – illustrate their perspectives on how the Alexander Technique supports caring by combatting carer self-loss. Understanding of care as an embodied phenomenon is furthered by describing: (1) specific embodied habits that seem highly pertinent to care of self and others; and (2) how they might be (re)acquired in learning the Alexander Technique.…
Healthy ageing in a deprived northern UK city: A co‐creation study
With ageing comes an increased risk of poor health and social isolation, particularly in poorer populations. Older people are under-represented in research and as a result interventions may not take account of their context or barriers to participation. In co-creative work, future service users work with professionals on an equal basis to design, develop and produce a service or intervention. Our objectives were to (a) undertake a co-creation stu…
A qualitative exploration of responses to self-compassion in a non-clinical sample
Research suggests that being self-compassionate can have myriad benefits, including life satisfaction, health-promoting behaviours and improved mental health. Given the possible advantages of being self-compassionate, it seems critical to explore how to promote this in the general population. This qualitative study aimed to understand responses to the idea of being compassionate to oneself within the general population. Semi-structured interviews…

Men and Chronic Illness: A Qualitative Study of Luts
In order to determine how men react to and manage chronic conditions 16 men with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) were interviewed to examine the relationship between detecting symptoms and seeking medical help, perceptions of symptoms and the impact of symptoms on daily life. Transcripts were analysed employing IPA and four major themes identified: Uncertainty/Trying to understand, Implications, Ways of coping and Self-concept/Identity. Uncer…

Standardized protocols for condom breakage and slippage trials: A proposal
In the absence of well-controlled studies on the clinical effectiveness of condoms against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, breakage and slippage data may provide the best indication of the protection offered by condom use. According to the recent literature, condom breakage rates range from 0% to 12%, with many US studies falling in the 2% to 5% range. Few studies have collected slippage data. In addition to discussing methodological…
Group intervention with HIV seropositive patients and their partners
Persons with HIV infection and AIDS may have complex psychosocial needs. Many find it difficult to share fears and feelings so are unlikely to join traditional support groups, although they lack crucial social support. As they frequently report a need for more information it was proposed to use an 'information' group as an opportunity to provide not only information but also social support. Fourteen homosexual men with HIV infection or their part…
