Perceived Discrimination in Healthcare Settings is Associated with Medication Side Effects and Adherence
Many medication side effects are the result of negative patient expectations rather than the pharmacological action of the drugs, thus triggering a “nocebo effect.” Negative expectations can be generated by contextual factors that contribute to the perceived quality of care. Research shows that perceived discrimination in healthcare settings among Black, Asian, and other Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups is associated with lower perceived quality of …
Exploring the Relationship Between Medicine Related Beliefs and Side‐Effect Experience Among White Oral Contraceptive Users in the UK
Objectives Side‐effects are often central to the decision to discontinue oral contraceptives. However, many oral contraceptive side‐effects may be the result of a psychological nocebo effect. In this preliminary study, we investigate whether correlates of nocebo effects are associated with oral contraceptive side‐effect experience. Design An exploratory online cross‐sectional survey of 275 female, predominantly young, White respondents was conduc…
Utilising the COM-B model to interpret barriers and facilitators to cervical cancer screening in young women
As most women now reaching the age for cervical cancer screening (24.5 years old) in the UK will be HPV vaccinated, their current perspectives on screening can inform effective interventions to increase screening uptake (and thus, early detection). Twenty-four interviews were conducted with women aged 24-30 years old to explore their views on cervical cancer screening ( n = 12 attendees and n = 12 non-attendees). Reflexive thematic analysis gener…
How to improve adherence with quarantine
OBJECTIVES: The December 2019 outbreak of coronavirus has once again thrown the vexed issue of quarantine into the spotlight, with many countries asking their citizens to 'self-isolate' if they have potentially come into contact with the infection. However, adhering to quarantine is difficult. Decisions on how to apply quarantine should be based on the best available evidence to increase the likelihood of people adhering to protocols. We conducte…
The psychological impact of quarantine and how to reduce it
A systematic review of factors associated with side‐effect expectations from medical interventions
Research fatigue in Covid-19 pandemic and post-disaster research
Guidelines for researchers wishing to reduce the occurrence of research fatigue include ensuring greater transparency within research; sharing of results; and using oversight or gatekeeper bodies to aid coordination. Failure to restrict the number of times that people are asked to participate in studies risks poor participation rates. This can subsequently affect the quality of information with which to inform policy-makers and protect the health…
How does the side‐effect information in patient information leaflets influence peoples’ side‐effect expectations? A cross‐sectional national survey of 18‐ to 65‐year‐olds in England
OBJECTIVES: To establish how the terms recommended by the European Commission to describe side-effect risk in patient information leaflets (PILs) influences expectations of side-effects and to identify factors associated with these side-effect expectations. DESIGN: A cross-sectional online survey was carried out by a market research company. SETTING: Data were collected in England between 18th March and 1st April 2016. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 10…
