Economic evidence related to the use of community assets in the management of frailty
The health economics of social prescribing
Background Social prescribing is an approach to improving health and wellbeing that links individuals to community-based supports, such as arts programs, physical activity initiatives, financial or housing advice, volunteering opportunities, and social groups. Although evidence supporting its effects on physical, functional, and mental health outcomes is expanding, no systematic review of the international evidence has yet assessed the health eco…
A systematic review investigating emerging trends between Extreme Weather Events (EWEs) and infectious disease outbreaks in South Africa
Introduction: Extreme weather events (EWEs) are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change, exacerbating health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations. Infectious diseases are climate-sensitive, yet microbial dynamics during and after EWEs remain poorly understood. This systematic review examines if there are emerging trends and associations in infectious disease outbreaks and health care following EWEs in South Africa. M…
Exploring the Impact of Human Rights in the Nursing Home Sector in Ireland
Background: Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that all individuals should enjoy with the expectation that all persons are treated with fairness, respect, equality and dignity. In the nursing home sector, adherence to human rights should take account of residents inputting on decisions on their lives and participating as fully as possible in decisions about their care and support. The ever-growing demands on care systems in Ireland ha…
Warning system for Extreme weather events, Awareness Technology for Healthcare, Equitable delivery, and Resilience (Weather) Project
Background: Extreme Weather Events (EWE’) in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) province, South Africa are increasingly common causing disease outbreaks, loss of homes, property and life with pressure on the health system. An Early Warning System (EWS) intervention is needed to alert communities and government, to increase preparedness for floods, improving resilience of health services to predict, detect and respond to emergencies and potential disease outbrea…
Prospects and Aspirations for Workforce Training and Education in Social Prescribing
The semi-structured interviews conducted with the key SP stakeholders yielded rich information and novel insight into LW training. External funding for the salary of the LW is an obstacle for LW development through training. In addition, the questionnaire results regarding stated preference techniques demonstrate that LWs place value on their professional development and would be willing to spend their own money on training to improve their knowl…
Effects of orthographic transparency on reading and phoneme awareness in children learning to read in Wales
The relationship between the development of reading skills and the consistency of the orthography (writing system) is investigated in a study that examines reading acquisition in children living in Wales. Performance of children learning to read Welsh (a transparent alphabetic orthography) on tests of reading and phoneme detection was compared with the performance of children learning to read English (an opaque alphabetic orthography). The childr…
