Communities against cancer
The community-based grant model adopted by CAC enabled community members to self-define effective strategies to deliver cancer messages to their communities. As a result, the CAC initiative met its aims of promoting cancer awareness, encouraging healthy lifestyles and help-seeking behaviours by ensuring activites were fully tailored and co-created with marginalised communities
‘A good decision is the one that feels right for me’
INTRODUCTION: Patient decision aids (PtDA) complement shared decision-making with healthcare professionals and improve decision quality. However, PtDA often lack theoretical underpinning. We are codesigning a PtDA to help people with increased genetic cancer risks manage choices. The aim of an innovative workshop described here was to engage with the people who will use the PtDA regarding the theoretical underpinning and logic model outlining our…
Ethics, rigour and agility of research and evaluation methods in a changing social and clinical context
The Centre for Psychosocial Research in Cancer conducts world-leading research and service evaluations to support well-being and quality of life amongst those affected by cancer. This paper reflects on how we adapted our research management and study methods during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the implications for ongoing research practice. We use four case studies to consider the benefits and challenges of adapting to remote approaches to research…
The process of incorporating insulin pumps into the everyday lives of people with Type 1 diabetes
Conceptualisation of the 'good' self-manager
Healthcare policy in developed countries has, in recent years, promoted self-management among people with long-term conditions. Such policies are underpinned by neoliberal philosophy, as seen in the promotion of greater individual responsibility for health through increased support for self-management. Yet still little is known about how self-management is understood by commissioners of healthcare services, healthcare professionals, people with l…
Impact of cancer on everyday life
Objective To conduct a systematic appraisal of the published literature reviews related to the impact of cancer on everyday life. This theme was identified as the top priority area for research by participants in the Macmillan Listening Study, which was the first UK‐wide public consultation exercise to identify patients’ priorities for cancer research. Search strategy The top priority area was divided into ten sub‐themes, and a modified systemati…
Critical appraisal guidelines for assessing the quality and impact of user involvement in research
Background The involvement of service users in the design and conduct of health research has developed significantly in the UK in recent years. Involving service users is now seen as a core component of good research practice for all forms of health research. Given the important role that users have in health research, it is necessary to develop guidelines for their effective involvement. Whilst guidelines are currently being formulated, there re…
Vacant Possession
BY Hazel McHaffie . Radcliffe Publishing Ltd , 2005 , PB £11.99 , 198 pp. ISBN 0-85775-651-7 This book makes a most enjoyable read. The main character, Viv Faraday, is locked in a persistent vegetative state (PVS), following a car accident, for 9 years. Her father, Bill, has visited her daily throughout her illness, and has never given up the hope that she may recover to normal life, even though he has been told this is 99.999% unlikely. He hangs…
Listening to the views of people affected by cancer about cancer research
Aim The study ‘Listening to the Views of People Affected by Cancer About Cancer Research’ is currently exploring the views people affected by cancer have about cancer research and identifying their research priorities. Integral to this is the broader aim of ensuring an effective, collaborative participation of patients and carers in the design and conduct of the study. On the basis of experiences with the study to date, the latter is explored in …
Guilt, blame and responsibility
Men and women who have a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer may be offered a predictive genetic test to determine whether or not they carry the family specific BRCA1/2 mutation. The sons and daughters of mutation carriers have a 50 per cent chance of inheriting a mutation, which will increase their risk of developing cancer. Little is known about at-risk men's feelings about the part they play in the transmission of BRCA1/2 mutations …
Embryo research
This article surveys a range of Anglican perspectives on the status of the human embryo. It begins by offering a scientific account of the embryo and describes what UK law currently permits in embryo research. It discusses relevant scriptural passages and identifies different views in Christian teaching on the early foetus from the first century onwards. Drawing on these sources, the article then offers four integrated approaches to the status of…
Accommodating risk
Genetic Testing for Breast and Ovarian Cancer Predisposition
The purpose of this study was to explore experiences of cancer in the family and motivation for predictive genetic testing among women at increased risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer due to their family history. Fifteen women were interviewed prior to receiving their genetic test results. A grounded theory approach was adopted to analyse the interview transcripts. The findings indicated that experiences of cancer in the family play a…
