Managing Asthma Well and Sustainably – Patient Perspectives Explored
Fifty Years of the Journal of Medieval Religious Cultures
In 1974, at St. Ambrose University in Iowa, Ritamary Bradley (with Valerie Lagorio as associate editor) published the first issue of the Fourteenth-Century English Mystics Newsletter. The first issue opens with a note from Bradley. “Dear Colleague,” she writes:The newsletter was initially conceived as focusing on a narrow scope of research interests—fourteenth-century English mystics, as its title suggests, “including all of Richard Rolle.” Rathe…
Increased diagnosis of attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder despite stable hyperactive/inattentive behaviours
BACKGROUND: Globally, ADHD diagnoses have increased substantially and there is concern that this trend does not necessarily reflect improved detection of cases but that overdiagnosis may be occurring. We directly compared ADHD diagnoses with ADHD-related behaviours and looked for changes across time among Australian children in a large, population-based prospective cohort study. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of the Longitudinal Study…
Medieval Christianity in Practice
Performing (heterosexual) femininity
Women's liberation and the sexual revolution have changed the social landscape for heterosexual women in the West over the past 50 years, but exploration of women's lived experiences of contraceptive use in the context of their sexual lives is comparatively recent. We conducted 94 in-depth open-ended interviews with women of reproductive age (16-49 years) living in New South Wales, Australia. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim a…
Can consumers learn to ask three questions to improve shared decision making? A feasibility study of the ASK (AskShareKnow) Patient–Clinician Communication Model ® intervention in a primary health‐car…
OBJECTIVE: To test the feasibility and assess the uptake and acceptability of implementing a consumer questions programme, AskShareKnow, to encourage consumers to use the questions '1. What are my options; 2. What are the possible benefits and harms of those options; 3. How likely are each of those benefits and harms to happen to me?' These three questions have previously shown important effects in improving the quality of information provided du…
Informed choice in bowel cancer screening
Background Offering informed choice in screening is increasingly advocated, but little is known about how evidence‐based information about the benefits and harms of screening influences understanding and participation in screening. Objective We aimed to explore how a bowel cancer screening decision aid influenced decision making and screening behaviour among adults with lower education and literacy. Methods Twenty‐one men and women aged 55–64 yea…
Barking Abbey and Medieval Literary Culture
Anne Bulkeley and her Book
This study is focused on BL MS Harley 494, a small manuscript book which can be dated between 1532 and 1535. The author carefully contextualizes the manuscript within its historical background and investigates the varied sources of many of the individual items in the book
Information needs and preferences of low and high literacy consumers for decisions about colorectal cancer screening
Context The use of written decision aids (DAs) in clinical practice has proliferated. However, few DAs have been developed for low literacy users, despite this group having low knowledge about healthcare and lacking involvement in health decisions. Objective To explore the information needs and understanding of adults with varying literacy in relation to colorectal cancer screening, and to consider their responses to two versions of a decision ai…
The Medieval Mystical Tradition in England
The regular meetings resumed, here with particular focus on Julian of Norwich, and Syon Abbey and the Bridgettines. The latest volume of proceedings in the series initiated by Marion Glasscoe in 1980 shares with its predecessors a concentrated focus on the English mystical authors and the reception of their continental contemporaries in medieval England. At the same time, it bears witness to the range of disciplinary approaches - literary, histor…
A glossary for evidence based public health
This glossary seeks to define and explain some of the main concepts underpinning evidence based public health. It draws on the published literature, experience gained over several years analysis of the topic, and discussions with public health colleagues, including researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and students
Julian of Norwich
Making the most of Pap tests
The paper by Taylor and colleagues1 in this issue of the journal indicates that in NSW, (a state of Australia with a population of approximately 2.4 million adult women2), cervical cancer screening prevented the development of around 3400 cases of cervical cancer between 1972 and 1996. Projections of the population, cervical cancer incidence and effectiveness of screening to 2006 suggest that close to 8000 cases of cervical cancer will be prevent…
