Uptake, retention, and delivery of community dietary interventions within low socioeconomic populations
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate levels of uptake and retention in community-based dietary interventions for low socioeconomic status (SES) populations, to identify barriers and facilitators of uptake and retention, and to compare the characteristics of interventions with optimal and suboptimal uptake and retention. METHOD AND MEASURES: = 114 papers met the inclusion criteria. Data were narratively synthesised, and intervention content was coded for behav…
How can we better prepare new doctors for the tasks and challenges of ward rounds
PURPOSE: Ward rounds play a crucial role in the delivery of patient care in inpatient settings, but involve a complex mix of tasks, skills and challenges for junior doctors to negotiate. This study informs the development of high-quality training by identifying the activities that junior doctors perform, and those associated with stress during real-life ward rounds. MATERIALS AND METHODS: = 60) over 2 ward rounds were coded in real-time by a trai…
The SNAPSHOT study protocol
Data from the SNAPSHOT study will provide ecologically valid information to help better understand the temporal associations between self-regulatory resources (executive functions) and deleterious health behaviours such as snacking and sedentary behaviour. If we can identify particular periods of the day or locations where self-regulatory resources become depleted and produce suboptimal health behaviour, then interventions can be designed and tar…
Stress in telephone helpline nurses is associated with failures of concentration, attention and memory, and with more conservative referral decisions
Nurses working for telephone‐based medical helplines must maintain attentional focus while quickly and accurately processing information given by callers to make safe and appropriate treatment decisions. In this study, both higher levels of general occupational stress and elevated stress levels on particular shifts were associated with more frequent failures of attention, memory, and concentration in telephone nurses. Exposure to a stressful shif…
Unintentional eating. What determines goal-incongruent chocolate consumption
A Taxometric Analysis of Type-D Personality
OBJECTIVE: To test the dimensionality of Type-D personality, using taxometric procedures, to assess if Type-D personality is taxonic or dimensional. Type-D personality is treated as a categorical variable and caseness has been shown to be a risk factor for poor prognosis in coronary heart disease. However, at present, there is no direct evidence to support the assumption that Type D is categorical and able to differentiate true cases from noncase…
Why do people fail to turn good intentions into action? The role of executive control processes in the translation of healthy eating intentions into action in young Scottish adults
Our findings will add to understanding about the role of executive control in translating intentions into actions and may demonstrate potential for future public health interventions. If participants with weak executive control are found to be less likely to eat as they intend than those with strong executive control, then interventions that reduce the load on these executive processes may increase chances of successful intention-behaviour transl…
