Women’s Experiences of Screening and Assessment of Mental Health Problems in the Perinatal Period
Mental health problems occur frequently in the perinatal period and timely identification is key for appropriate support to be offered. Women are routinely asked about their mental health and may undergo formal screening as part of healthcare services in the perinatal period. The aim of this review was to explore women’s views and experiences of being screened for mental health problems and to identify which aspects of this screening process they…
Strengthening language through first language mathematics education
The Mathematics in Indigenous Languages project seeks to design and deliver mathematics education in Indigenous languages in remote Northern Territory schools. We work collaboratively as a team of researchers in linguistics and education, and school-based educators from three language groups: Pitjantjatjara, Tiwi and Anindilyakwa. This paper focuses on how teaching mathematics through First Nations children’s first language also contributes to br…

Healthcare professionals' experiences of caring for women with false‐positive screening test results in the National Health Service Breast Screening Programme
BACKGROUND: Understanding healthcare professionals' (HCPs) experiences of caring for women with false-positive screening test results in the National Health Service Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) is important for reducing the impact of such results. METHODS: Interviews were undertaken with 12 HCPs from a single NHSBSP unit, including advanced radiographer practitioners, breast radiographers, breast radiologists, clinical nurse specialists (C…
Exploring psychological factors associated with breastfeeding in women with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2
Objective Women with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 are less likely to initiate and maintain breastfeeding compared to normal-weight women. Psychological factors have been linked with breastfeeding, but their influence on women with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 experiences needs further exploration. The aim of this study was to investigate whether psychological factors are voiced by women with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, and how these factors influence their breastfeeding.Design A …
What is important to service users and staff when implementing suicide-focused psychological therapies for people with psychosis into mental health services
Whilst all stakeholders viewed a suicide-focused therapy as valuable for people experiencing psychosis, they also recognize that enabling successful implementation of such interventions will require additional training, flexibility, and resources to existing services
A systematic investigation of the short and long term experiences of taking part in research about suicidal thoughts and acts in the context of a randomised controlled trial
Partaking in studies about suicide can be a positive experience. There is also evidence of some negative impacts in the days immediately following participation. No research has examined both the short and longer term effects of repeated assessment of an individual's suicidal thoughts/behaviours. Clinical trials can involve multiple suicide assessments over several months. The current study investigated whether participants experienced any brief …
Enhancing community weight loss groups in a low socioeconomic status area
BACKGROUND: Obesity rates are higher among people of lower socioeconomic status. While numerous health behaviour interventions targeting obesity exist, they are more successful at engaging higher socioeconomic status populations, leaving those in less affluent circumstances with poorer outcomes. This highlights a need for more tailored interventions. The aim of this study was to enhance an existing weight loss course for adults living in low soci…
Educators’ experiences and perspectives of child weight discussions with parents in primary school settings
Whilst educator-parent child weight discussions are necessary, discussions are highly challenging, with contradictory views on responsibility sometimes resulting in avoidance. Educators' roles should be clarified, and communication training tailored to increase teacher confidence and skills. Current social distancing will likely reduce opportunistic encounters, highlighting a need to further improve communication routes
Data protection, information governance and the potential erosion of ethnographic methods in health care
With the most recent developments to the European General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) introduced in May 2018, the resulting legislation meant a new set of considerations for study approvers and health-care researchers. Compared with previous legislation in the UK (The Data Protection Act, 1998), it introduced more extensive and directive principles, requiring anybody 'processing' personal data to specifically define how this data will be o…
Altering access to autobiographical episodes with prior semantic knowledge
A Reflective Practitioner Case Study Approach to Researching Verbatim Theatre
The Reflective Practitioner Case Study (RPCS) methodology, as defined by John O’Toole in Doing Drama Research (2006), is situated within the broader category of qualitative practice-led research, with a focus on inducing practice based data for analysis and research. This article details my application of the RPCS methodology when researching the process and impact of verbatim theatre practice within the context of writing and performing the verb…
Tailoring lifestyle interventions to low socio-economic populations
Tailoring interventions for this population is necessary, and more attention is needed to develop ways to ensure service providers and users engage with behaviour change techniques such as goal setting, rather than focusing on information provision alone. Interventions should also be mindful of cost, cultural diversity, and language and literacy barriers, as well as potential for disengaging this hard to reach population
Syria
Refugee children’s mental health through war, conflict and flight is strongly influenced by family environment and quality of relationships with parents and primary caregivers. Parental support and supervision of the child by the parent is a fundamental protective moderator for child outcomes. Knowledge of parents’ support needs through displacement into pre-resettlement contexts is vital in designing interventions to improve outcomes for refugee…
Creating the Sound of Sarcasm
The study of spoken language requires controlling multiple aspects of the speech signal. Here we report a procedure to create a sarcastic version of sincerely spoken audio stimuli by changing aspects of prosody relevant to sarcasm (pitch, pace, and loudness) while controlling all other acoustic differences. Two rating experiments validated the efficacy of this procedure for spoken conversations (“Maybe they are more delicate than you realized”) a…

When is it ok to tell patients they are overweight? General public's views of the role of doctors in supporting patients' dieting and weight management
The objective was to explore the general public's views on the role of health professionals in the management of weight with diet and the implementation of behaviour change. Semi-structured interviews were conducted. An inductive grounded theory approach utilised a coding framework; recurring concepts/themes explored in future interviews and thematic saturation achieved. Two themes summarised views on the role of health professionals in supportin…
Understanding medical students' views of chronic fatigue syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome receives little attention in the medical curriculum. This study explores UK medical students' knowledge of and attitudes towards chronic fatigue syndrome. Semi-structured interviews (average length 22 minutes) were conducted with 21 participants (7 females and 14 males) in years 3 ( n = 4), 4 ( n = 11) and 5 ( n = 6) of their studies. Inductive thematic analysis taking a realist perspective produced three themes: limited …

The Euromissile Debate in Retrospect
It has been over a decade since NATO's controversial decision to deploy intermediate range nuclear missiles in Europe caused a heated debate in the European countries involved. Herf's new book focuses on the history of this dispute in West Germany. By analyzing post-war German intellectual history and political culture, he seeks to explain how the Euromissile decision became so controversial. His central thesis is that during the 1960s and 1970s …
