Older adults’ experiences of wellbeing through engagement with a nature-based programme: Insights from Activity Theory and Blue Zones thinking
Nature-based interventions and programmes hold real potential to effectively support older adults’ immediate and longer-term physical, social, mental, emotional, and psychological wellbeing needs. • Carefully designed, theory informed nature-based interventions and programmes may offer real potential to effectively support older adults’ immediate and longer-term wellbeing needs. • These may offer creative and complementary support amid an ever-in…
“We go hunting …”: Understanding experiences of people living with obesity and food insecurity when shopping for food in the supermarket to meet their weight related goals
The high prevalence of food insecurity in the United Kingdom has been exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis. In high-income countries, those experiencing food insecurity struggle to buy and consume foods that meet Government healthy eating recommendations, and are at increased risk of obesity, linked to poor diet quality. Individuals in high-income countries purchase most of their food to consume at home from supermarkets, making this an impor…
Understanding the barriers to purchasing healthier, more environmentally sustainable food for people living with obesity and varying experiences of food insecurity in the UK
Unforeseen emotional labour: A collaborative autoethnography exploring researcher experiences of studying Long Covid in health workers during the Covid-19 pandemic
Emotional labour or emotion management describes regulation of feelings to fulfil specific job roles, discussed extensively around commercial and caring professions and more recently qualitative researchers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this was heightened due to changes in the socio-political context affecting individual circumstances and research practice, yet accounts pertaining to qualitative researchers are lacking. This paper presents a co…
The impact of the cost of living crisis and food insecurity on food purchasing behaviours and food preparation practices in people living with obesity
Lower income households are at greater risk of food insecurity and poor diet quality than higher income households. In high-income countries, food insecurity is associated with high levels of obesity, and in the UK specifically, the cost of living crisis (i.e., where the cost of everyday essentials has increased quicker than wages) is likely to have exacerbated existing dietary inequalities. There is currently a lack of understanding of the impac…
Failure as Learning: Photovoice as Methodology in Research with Marginalised Young People
An unpublished pilot study at a charitable youth organisation in the North East of Scotland found that young people (aged 16 to 25) accommodated by the organisation consumed a diet high in sugar and low in levels of foods such as meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables (Perry, 2013). The Foodways and Futures project (2013-2016), combining ethnographic and action research methodology, set out to explore why the diet of young people was sub-optimal, desp…
Eating like there's no tomorrow: Public awareness of the environmental impact of food and reluctance to eat less meat as part of a sustainable diet
Developing a timeline for evaluating public health nutrition policy interventions. What are the outcomes and when should we expect to see them
Objective To develop a timeline for evaluating public health nutrition policy interventions. Design Concept mapping, a stakeholder-driven approach for developing an evaluation framework to estimate the ‘time to impact’ for policy interventions. The Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition) (Scotland) Act 2007 was used as the model to develop the evaluation timeline as it had typical characteristics of government policy. Concept mapping requires st…
More of the same? Conflicting perspectives of obesity causation and intervention amongst overweight people, health professionals and policy makers
Clinical governance and research ethics as barriers to UK low-risk population-based health research
Research ethics committees could be counter-productive, rather than protecting the vulnerable in the research process, they can stifle low-risk population-based health research. Research ethics in health services research is first and foremost the responsibility of the researcher(s), and we need to learn to trust health service researchers again. The burden of current research governance regulation to address the perceived ethical problems is nei…
