‘We need more support and doctors that understand the process of tapering …’
BACKGROUND: Many individuals worldwide continue to take benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BZRAs) long term (≥3 months). The aim of this study was to conduct a content analysis of the views and experiences of discontinuing long-term BZRA use as documented in the free-text responses of respondents to an online questionnaire examining mediators of behaviour change relating to the discontinuation of long-term BZRA use. DESIGN: The questionnaire was d…
Supporting safe and gradual reduction of long‐term benzodiazepine receptor agonist use
INTRODUCTION: Long-term benzodiazepine receptor agonist (BZRA) use persists in healthcare settings worldwide and poses risks of patient harm. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop an intervention to support discontinuation of long-term BZRA use among willing individuals. METHODS: The intervention development process aligned with the UK Medical Research Council's complex intervention framework. This involved a previous systematic review of brief …
‘I just thought that it was such an impossible thing’
INTRODUCTION: Existing interventions to reduce long-term benzodiazepine receptor agonist (BZRA) use lack theoretical underpinning and detailed descriptions. This creates difficulties in understanding how interventions work and how to replicate them in practice. The Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) can be used to identify behaviour change determinants to target during intervention development. OBJECTIVE: To explore barriers and facilitators to …
Ecopastoralism
As Lawrence Buell has observed, the pastoral, which in the â oldâ worlds of Europe was a type of symbolic allegory not expected to be taken literally, became in Europeâ s â newâ worlds of settler colonialism, such as the United States and Australia, â a vehicle of national self-definitionâ as well as a template for the construction of an idyllic settler colonial pastoral way of life (52). The settler colony was often envisioned as a type of Arcad…
From personal challenge to technical fix
Our research focuses on the complexity of needs associated with distress in people with advanced cancer. We have recently completed a large longitudinal survey exploring the interplay between a number of components of distress, including depression, demoralisation, debility and spirituality, amongst a cohort of people living with terminal cancer. Participants were recruited from 25 hospices across the Northwest of England between 2007-2009. A pur…
