Self‐management interventions for children and young people with sickle cell disease
Supporting the parent‐to‐child transfer of self‐management responsibility for chronic kidney disease
INTRODUCTION: As children with long-term conditions (LTCs) mature, they are usually expected to assume responsibility from their parents for self-management of their condition. Little is known about what supports families with this handover of responsibility, including the role of healthcare professionals (HCPs). This study aimed to explore what supports young people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to assume self-management responsibility and p…
Qualitative Observational Research in the Intensive Care Setting
The aim of this theoretical paper is to critically reflect on the ethical and methodological issues that arose during a study that observed nurses' care-giving in an intensive care unit setting. The authors critically discuss the methodological and ethical issues as well as the practical realities that were encountered when evaluating a complex intervention using unstructured qualitative observations.

How a moderated online discussion forum facilitates support for young people with eating disorders
INTRODUCTION: Young people with eating disorders are at risk of harm to their social, emotional and physical development and life chances. Although they can be reluctant to seek help, they may access social media for information, advice or support.

This qualitative study aimed to explore how young people used a youth-orientated, moderated…
Hidden caring, hidden carers? Exploring the experience of carers for people with long‐term conditions
Informal carers make a significant contribution to illness management in communities, but many struggle to access support and remain 'hidden carers'. We aimed to explore how carers of people with common long-term conditions (LTCs, such as coronary heart disease or kidney disease) conceptualised their caring, and whether they struggled to identify themselves with the term 'carer' or access for support. We conducted semi-structured interviews with …

The role of information in supporting self-care in vascular conditions
Self-care has the potential to make a significant contribution to vascular conditions, but engagement with self-care support has been limited. Lack of relevant information is highlighted by patients and policy-makers as an important barrier to effective self-care, and information provides a potentially efficient platform for changing behaviour. However, work within the social sciences has generally seen information as a necessary but insufficient…
Established users and the making of telecare work in long term condition management
Involving communities in health service planning in primary care
Recent health service policy in the United Kingdom has emphasized the need to involve local people in health service planning. This paper will describe how local communities were involved in the development of Primary Care Resource Centres. These centres are designed to provide a base for the delivery of a range of health, social welfare and information services within a community setting. Four centres in the process of being developed in one reg…
