Holding Out Hope or Holding Back? Student Expectations of Counselling Services in Higher Education in Ireland
Exploring the lived experiences of women with metastatic breast cancer and their HRQoL questionnaire preferences
Participants in this study reported impaired HRQoL, marked by disrupted daily life, loneliness, protective buffering, and scanxiety. They preferred the FACT-B over the EORTC questionnaire for measuring HRQoL because of its focus on personal and emotional aspects, which reflected their lived experiences. However, further research is warranted to validate these findings in more diverse populations in the metastatic breast cancer context
Evaluation of the epidemiological and economic impact of the Adlife intervention on medium- to long-term in patients with advanced chronic disease
Introduction: Patients with advanced chronic disease (ACD) experience transitions in their clinical stability, leading to increased healthcare resource use and costs. EU-funded ADLIFE digital intervention aimed to ensure their quality of life through individualised care plans, clinical decision-making support, and patient empowerment. This study assessed the impact and sustainability of ADLIFE. Materials and methods: Target population included pa…
The development of a national interdisciplinary paediatric pain service for children living with complex chronic pain in Ireland
Who for? Chronic pain (CP) affects up to 30% of children. Of these, a smaller proportion (approx. 3-5%) shall experience significant, disabling CP, impacting on education, peer and family relations, physical health and emotional wellbeing. Uni-disciplinary treatment modalities are not supported by evidence. Untreated, there is a significant association with the development of lifelong CP. In 2020, funding was secured by Children’s Health Ireland …
Applying Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to Understand the Experience of Digital Health
Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) is uniquely positioned to enable health researchers and practitioners to gain a rich understanding of the psychosocial experiences of people living with health conditions and their family caregivers. The majority of research in this field pertains to the acceptability, usability and effectiveness of supportive technology in managing or treating health conditions. Acknowledging the ever-growing develo…

Factors Associated with PrEP Stigma Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men (gbMSM)
Do discrepancies between subjective and objective health shift over time in later life? A markov transition model
Subjective health (SH) deteriorates less rapidly than objective health (OH) in older adults. However, scant evidence exists regarding if discrepancies between SH and OH shift in the same individuals over time. We explore whether such discrepancies change over time in a sample of older adults living in England, through a prospective, observational cohort study design. Using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, we followed a sample o…
Assessment of the Effectiveness, Socio-Economic Impact and Implementation of a Digital Solution for Patients with Advanced Chronic Diseases
Due to population ageing and medical advances, people with advanced chronic diseases (ACD) live longer. Such patients are even more likely to face either temporary or permanent reduced functional reserve, which typically further increases their healthcare resource use and the burden of care on their caregiver(s). Accordingly, these patients and their caregiver(s) may benefit from integrated supportive care provided via digitally supported interve…
Supporting Physical Activity for Informal Caregivers during and beyond Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed how our global societies rely upon the care and support of informal (unpaid) caregivers: in the UK alone, there are an estimated 6.5 million informal carers. The caring role is not just precarious, it is often associated with high levels of stress, poor/deteriorating health and crisis points (hospitalisations, worsening of health). Fittingly, there has been much research in recent years focusing on mental health …
Older Users of a Befriending Service in Ireland and the Maintenance of Personal Autonomy during the Covid-19 Pandemic
In the Republic of Ireland (RoI), COVID-19 public health guidelines have been most restrictive for people aged 70 and over. Such individuals are most likely to avail of befriending services offered by a network of Irish organisations. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of COVID-19 guidelines on befriending service users, and to develop recommended adaptations to befriending services compatible with such guidelines. A qualitative cons…
Building a Research Roadmap for Caregiver Innovation
Across the world, informal (unpaid) caregiving has become the predominant model for community care: in the UK alone, there are an estimated 6.5 million caregivers supporting family members and friends on a regular basis, saving health and social care services approximately £132 billion per year. Despite our collective reliance on this group (particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic), quality of life for caregivers is often poor and there is an u…
Effects of a Brief E-Learning Resource on Sexual Attitudes and Beliefs of Healthcare Professionals Working in Prostate Cancer Care
Sexual issues and treatment side effects are not routinely discussed with men receiving treatment for prostate cancer, and support to address these concerns is not consistent across settings. This study evaluates a brief e-learning resource designed to improve sexual wellbeing support and examine its effects on healthcare professionals' sexual attitudes and beliefs. Healthcare professionals ( n = 44) completed an online questionnaire at baseline …
Living well with chronic illness
Positive social and psychological appraisals may help maintain well-being in illness, but few studies have systematically investigated this in a European context. After controlling for sociodemographic, health and objective social factors, we employed multilevel regression modelling to establish if appraisals predict well-being in three illness groups ( n = 10,577). In addition to health and financial status, positive appraisals were consistent p…
Beyond care burden
Seeking help when transgender
Background: While there is growing awareness of the need to support the physical and mental wellbeing of transgender people, some may be reluctant to seek help from healthcare professionals. Little is understood about the mechanisms that influence help-seeking behavior in this group. Aims: This study aimed to compare transgender and cisgender participants in their likelihood to seek help for both physical and mental health conditions, and to expl…
