Understanding Psychotherapy Discontinuation Among Ethnically Minoritised Adults: A Systematic Review and Qualitative Synthesis
Psychotherapy discontinuation remains a persistent challenge for mental health services, with approximately half of clients ending therapy prematurely. Individuals from ethnically minoritised backgrounds are disproportionately affected by early discontinuation; however, less is known about how these populations understand and experience this process. This review aimed to explore the lived experiences and perceived reasons for psychotherapy discon…
Mixed-Methods Evaluation of the HealthyWEY E-Learning Toolkit for Promoting Healthy Weight in the Early Years
Despite being well-positioned to promote healthy lifestyles in young children, early years practitioners often face barriers to supporting child weight management. This mixed-methods study aimed to assess the preliminary effectiveness and acceptability of an e-learning toolkit (HealthyWEY) designed to upskill and support multi-agency professionals to promote healthy weight in early childhood. A total of 54 health visitors/community nursery nurses…
Community groups, organisations, and employers respond to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic: A story of resilience and continued vulnerability
The study underscores the importance of local resilience, highlighting the VCFSE sector's central role in addressing inequalities exacerbated by crises. It calls for substantial long-term investment to sustain this vital infrastructure, which is critical not only for recovery but also for preparedness for future societal shocks
Minding the gap: The importance of active facilitation in moving boundary objects from in-theory to in-use as a tool for knowledge mobilisation
The Health Inequalities Assessment Toolkit (HIAT) was developed to support those involved in health research to integrate a focus on health inequalities. Our study focuses on bringing together the concepts of boundary objects (BO) and brokers-as-bricoleurs to explain the implementation of the HIAT within a research capacity building programme. Exploring the extent to which (i) the HIAT operated as a BO and (ii) the ideal conditions to nurture and…
Tapping into the power of coproduction and knowledge mobilisation: Exploration of a facilitated interactive group learning approach to support equity‐sensitive decision‐making in local health and care…
BACKGROUND: We report on a study of a facilitated interactive group learning approach, through Collaborative Implementation Groups (CIGs), established to enhance capacity for equity-sensitive evaluation of healthcare services to inform local decision-making: (1) What was the experience of participants of the CIGs? (2) How was knowledge mobilisation achieved? (3) What are the key elements that enhance the process of coproducing equity-sensitive ev…
Experiences of Remote Provision across a Voluntary Sector Organisation Providing Mental Health and Wellbeing Services for Young People
The global COVID-19 pandemic presented not only challenges for services but also opportunities for reflection and change. This study aimed to understand young people, parents/carers, and professionals' experiences of remote provision across a voluntary sector organization to inform the nature of future delivery. Reflections from professionals ( n = 7), young people ( n = 7), and parents/carers ( n = 2) were collected through semi-structured inter…
The perception of risk in contracting and spreading Covid-19 amongst individuals, households and vulnerable groups in England: A longitudinal qualitative study
Participants developed their own understanding of COVID-19 risk perception through personal experience and comparison with others around them, irrespective of vulnerability status. COVID-19 guidance was not complied with as intended by the government, and at times even rejected due to lack of trust. The format in which future pandemic guidance is conveyed must be carefully considered, and take into account individuals' experiences that may lead t…
The impact of Covid-19 social distancing and isolation recommendations for Muslim communities in North West England
Psychological distress was associated with COVID-19 virus and impact of COVID-19 restrictions on livelihoods and fundamental human interactions. Better provision of culturally appropriate information, improving local channels of communication and practical support are important during times of pandemic when usual support systems may be disrupted
How do Muslim community members perceive Covid-19 risk reduction recommendations - a UK qualitative study
Across society there are people that adhere to restrictions and guidelines and those that do not. Improving local information provision and communication pathways during times of the pandemic, could aid understanding of risk and promote adherence to social distancing restrictions
Mainstreaming public involvement in a complex research collaboration: A theory‐informed evaluation
INTRODUCTION: There is an extensive literature on public involvement (PI) in research, but this has focused primarily on experiences for researchers and public contributors and factors enabling or restricting successful involvement in specific projects. There has been less consideration of a 'whole system' approach to embedding PI across an organization from governance structures through to research projects. OBJECTIVE: To investigate how a combi…
Enabling middle‐aged and older adults accessing community services to reduce social isolation: Community Connectors
A large number of older adults (65+ years) live on their own, and can experience high levels of loneliness. However, accessing activities to engage with their community can be difficult either due to their age and associated comorbidities, such as frailty, or due to financial reasons, for lacking the funds to access transport to activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate an existing service in the North West of England, Community Connector…
Public involvement in the dissemination of the North West Coast Household Health Survey: Experiences and lessons of co‐producing research together
BACKGROUND: Engaging with the public is a key element of health research; however, little work has examined experiences of public involvement in research dissemination. The aim of this paper was to assess the extent of public involvement, experiences of public advisers and resulting changes in the dissemination of the North West Coast Household Health Survey (HHS). METHODS: Three writing groups allowed public advisers to contribute to the dissemi…
