Reaching consensus on outcomes for evaluating strengths-based approaches in adult social care and social work
To advance our understanding of how we can best evaluate strengths-based approaches, we aimed to establish: (1) What the relevant outcomes are in strengths-based approaches in adult social care and social work in England; (2) How feasible it would be to measure them; and (3) Which tools and methodologies may be used in outcome measurement and evaluation. We used a Delphi consensus exercise to refine and reduce the long list of outcomes which had …
The role of adult social care services in improving the quality of life of older carers and the individuals they support
We explore the quality of life of older carers (aged 65 and above) and the people they support, as well as the role of services in promoting their quality of life, both on an individual and on a dyadic level. We collected data in England and, using a framework analysis, identify three themes that were shared by 28 carers and 11 individuals with support needs: (1) experience of support within and outside of the dyad; (2) dilemmas related to receiv…
Strengths-based Approaches—Perspectives from Practitioners
Despite its popularity, relatively little is known about strengths-based approaches in adult social work. In order to explore how strengths-based models and approaches are developed and implemented in social work and social care in England, and how these models are impacting practice, a two-stage project was conducted between December 2020 and October 2021. An online survey was completed by thirty-two respondents and a sub-sample of ten semi-stru…
Understanding and measuring the work‐related quality of life among those working in adult social care
The main aim of this scoping review was to understand how work-related quality of life (WRQoL) in adult social care has been defined and measured in the literature and to map key components of WRQoL among those working in adult social care and similar contexts. The scoping review included studies that: 1- focused on WRQoL/work-related wellbeing (and their synonyms); and 2- included adult social care or community health care. We searched existing …
Applying a dyadic outcomes approach to supporting older carers and care‐recipients
There are an estimated 2 million older carers, aged 65 or over, in the UK. Older carers are more likely to care for a co-resident spouse/partner, provide high-intensity support and have their own health problems. The literature suggests that a 'dyadic outcomes approach' to social care (i.e. services and support that seek to understand and improve the quality of life of the older carer and the person they support, individually and together) may be…
The quality of life of older carers and the people they support
Older carers, aged 65 or over, may find it difficult to balance caring while maintaining their own health and quality of life (QoL). For older carers, especially, established approaches to separately identifying, assessing and addressing carers' and care-recipients' needs, may not fully consider the interwoven nature of caregiving relationships and the ways in which community-based social care services may impact the QoL of both parties. The purp…
Social care‐related quality of life of people with dementia and their carers in England
People with dementia and their carers are a growing subgroup of people who use community-based social care. These services are designed to maintain people's quality of life while living at home. The ASCOT measure of social care-related quality of life (SCRQoL), designed to evaluate quality and effectiveness of social care, has been adapted for proxy-report when someone is unable to self-report. The ASCOT-Carer has been developed to measure carer'…
Protocol for the Ideal-2 longitudinal study
IDEAL-2 will provide evidence about the key indicators of, and factors associated with, living well over the course of dementia and how these differ for particular subgroups. It will tell us which combinations of services and support are most beneficial and cost-effective. Moreover, the IDEAL-2 study will gather evidence from under-researched groups of people with dementia, who are likely to have their own distinct perceptions of living well
Responses to provision of personalised cancer risk information
Provision of personalised cancer risk was well received and may be a useful addition to other cancer prevention initiatives. Further work is needed in particular to develop ways to present cancer risk that reflect the general perception of what constitutes a risk high enough to motivate behaviour change and help patients contextualise a less well known health risk by providing a frame of reference

Anxiety and sense of coherence in Roma and non-Roma coronary heart disease patients
Roma ethnicity is associated with more anxiety symptoms and lower SOC among CHD patients. Our findings indicate that Roma CHD patients have a worse position regarding psychosocial factors that increase mortality and thus require additional attention
Sense of coherence as an independent predictor of health-related quality of life among coronary heart disease patients
