Experiencing Socioeconomic Deprivation as a Carer in the United Kingdom
BACKGROUND: Informal carers compose approximately 7% of the UK population and, through their unpaid care, they make important contributions to society and the health care industry. Being an informal carer is higher in people experiencing socioeconomic deprivation; however, no qualitative research has explored the impact of this on the ability to provide care for those with long-term conditions. AIM: To explore the experiences and challenges of be…
Suicidal Ideation in Older Adults
Elevated rates of suicide among older adults continue to be a major public health problem globally. Improving our understanding of the precursors and the underlying mechanisms that lead to an increased risk of suicide in older adults is key to preventing suicide in this high-risk group. This study examined relationships between known risk factors of suicidal ideation (i.e., depression, hopelessness, thwarted belongingness, and perceived burdensom…
Barriers and facilitators of self‐management of diabetes amongst people experiencing socioeconomic deprivation
Co‐Design of a Facilitated Self‐Management Toolkit for People With Parkinson's Disease
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease is a complex progressive neurodegenerative disease increasing globally. Self-management interventions have shown promise in improving the quality of life for people with chronic conditions. This paper aims to describe the development processes and the core components of a facilitated self-management toolkit to support people with Parkinson's disease to self-manage their condition. METHODS: An iterative co-design ap…
A qualitative exploration of the barriers and facilitators to self‐managing multiple long‐term conditions amongst people experiencing socioeconomic deprivation
BACKGROUND: Globally, it is estimated that one in three adults live with two or more long-term conditions (multiple long-term conditions, MLTCs), that require self-management. People who experience socioeconomic deprivation face significant health inequalities due to a range of interrelated characteristics that lead to a lack of resources and opportunities. Previous research with underserved populations indicate low levels of trust towards primar…
Compound impact of cognitive and physical decline
BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment is common in Parkinson's disease and is associated with poorer quality of life and increased caregiver distress, but little qualitative information is available on lived experiences of people with Parkinson's who also have cognitive impairment. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to explore the challenges of cognitive impairment in Parkinson's, triangulating the perspectives of people with Parkinson's, caregiver…
A Qualitative Exploration of the Role of Culturally Relevant Social Prescribing in Supporting Pakistani Carers Living in the UK
BACKGROUND: Approximately 5.7 million people in the UK are providing informal care. Carers across all ethnic groups can experience negative impacts on their physical and mental health but some minority ethnic groups face greater challenges. Higher levels of social isolation exist among Pakistani carers compared to White British carers, yet the needs of Pakistani carers and how well support services meet these needs is less well understood. Social…
The relationship between personality and cognition in older adults with and without early-onset depression
Our results suggest that older people who are (a) more capable of identifying and understanding their feelings and the feelings of others, and (b) who are more willing to re-examine social, political, and religious values perform stronger on tasks measuring verbal fluency and cognitive flexibility, which are aspects of executive functioning. Interventions that aim to enhance open mindedness in older adults may have a parallel impact on improving …
Factors associated with self-rated health in people with late-stage parkinson’s and cognitive impairment
Improvement of activities of daily living, mood and anxiety should be prioritised in clinical practice, with consideration of perception and sexual function in this population. Recent nurse consultations and higher antiparkinsonian doses are associated with better self-rated health, suggesting there is no room for a therapeutic nihilism in this population of people within a complex phase of PD
Engaging people experiencing socioeconomic deprivation in qualitative research
In the realm of healthcare research, the glaring disparities in health outcomes among individuals from different socioeconomic backgrounds have been well-documented (Marmot Citation2020). It is an unfortunate truth that people experiencing socioeconomic deprivation (PESD) often face a higher prevalence and increased severity of long-term conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, dementia and mental health conditions, across the life course compared t…
Talking control sessions in people with advanced cancer
This study suggests the TC can have beneficial, albeit varying uses for people with advanced cancer, that may even be considered therapeutic
Emergency Department Visits for Heat-Related Emergency Conditions in the United States from 2008–2020
Exposure to high temperatures is detrimental to human health. As climate change is expected to increase the frequency of extreme heat events, and raise ambient temperatures, an investigation into the trend of heat-related emergency department (ED) visits over the past decade is necessary to assess the human health impact of this growing public health crisis. ED visits were examined using the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample. Visits were inc…
