Collaborative Approaches in Integrated Care
Background: The Integrated Care Programme for the Prevention and Management of Chronic Disease in Ireland describes an integrated service across community and acute hospital for patients with COPD/asthma, cardiovascular disease and/or diabetes. Thirty CD CST have been established to provide timely and equitable access to specialist multidisciplinary care at the lowest appropriate level of complexity, in line with Sláintecare, Ireland’s national h…
Co-Production Within Academic Constraints
Co-production in research offers the potential for multiple benefits, including amplifying the voices of the marginalised, reducing power inequalities between academic researchers and co-researchers outside of academia, increased likelihood of impact, and improvement in the research process. But alongside increased interest in co-production, there is increased awareness of its contextual constraints. Key amongst these are institutional orthodoxie…
Motivations for urban front gardening
Private gardens in urban settings offer multiple benefits for the environment and society. In addition to benefits to people's health and well-being, planting in front gardens in particular can mitigate local flooding and urban heat islands. To encourage more front garden planting, greater understanding of householders' motivations for front gardening is needed. Addressing research gaps on gardening for reasons other than food production and on m…
Handbook on Pro-Environmental Behaviour Change
Biodiversity loss and climate change are urgent, interlinked crises, driven by human activity.The solutions to these crises therefore lie in changing people's behaviours, at both individual and societal scales.In this chapter, we introduce the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW), a comprehensive framework for systematically designing, evaluating, and characterising behaviour change interventions.Applying the BCW to create behaviour change interventions …
Living with air-conditioning
Extreme heat is a likely consequence of global warming, leading to increased mortality and reduced wellbeing. There is limited research evidence of experiences of living with and without air-conditioning (AC), commonly regarded as the sole technological solution, but such knowledge is essential to progressing alternative approaches. A total of 72 participants were interviewed in an exploratory cross-cultural phenomenological study in Dubai (Unite…
Domestic retrofit
To deliver effective domestic retrofit at scale, it is essential to understand the current and required capabilities of building practitioners working in the repair, maintenance and improvement (RMI) of existing buildings. Capability research in the construction sector has previously focused on large projects, but small, and particularly, micro-firms that undertake RMI and form 77% of workers in construction, are under-researched. This gap is add…
What motivates building repair-maintenance practitioners to include or avoid energy efficiency measures? Evidence from three studies in the United Kingdom
Values, identity and pro-environmental behaviour
The importance of understanding and promoting pro-environmental behaviour among individual consumers in modern Western Societies is generally accepted. Attitudes and attitude change are often examined to help reach this goal. But although attitudes are relatively good predictors of behaviour and are relatively easy to change they only help explain specific behaviours. More stable individual factors such as values and identities may affect a wider…
