Experiential and Medical Knowledge of Shared Decision‐Making
Covid-19 vaccine acceptance and uptake in Indonesia, Nepal, and Vietnam
Since 2019, the WHO has included vaccine hesitancy among the top ten threats to global health. Additionally, there is global disparity in vaccine availability and access. As part of a mixed methods study that explored COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and access across Indonesia, Nepal and Vietnam from December 2021 to June 2022, we conducted 67 in-depth interviews with purposively selected community members from both urban and rural settings. We used …
Perceptions of death, dying and the body in Vietnamese culture
Background: Perceptions of death and dying has been attracting more attention in recent years with more advocacy on improving the end-of-life experiences and providing more support for families during these times. While these topics are important, Western views about death and dying have been more dominant, leaving a knowledge gap in how death and dying are perceived in Asian cultures. We used qualitative methods to explore how death and dying wa…
Changing the narrative
BOX Participatory visual methods (PVMs) involve individuals or communities who create visual representations using tools like photography, video, drawings or mapping to express their experiences and perspectives
High immunisation coverage but sporadic outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases
These findings implicate the need for tailoring public health and socioeconomic interventions to enhance vaccination opportunities in the marginalised groups
Social cohesion among healthcare workers during Covid-19
Existing literature has portrayed numerous challenges that healthcare workers (HCWs) faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as heightened risks of transmission against the scarcity of protective equipment, burgeoning workload, and emotional distress, to name a few. However, most studies explored HCWs' experiences at the individual level rather than examining the collective responses. Exploring these experiences could reveal the social-cultural …
Hypothetical acceptability of minimally invasive tissue sampling and considerations for practice
The exact aetiology of the cause of death (COD) remains unknown for a high proportion of deaths caused by infectious diseases. Complete diagnostic autopsy (CDA) is considered the gold standard to determine COD, but it is often not used in low and middle-income countries (LMIC), including Vietnam, for a variety of reasons. One alternative is minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS). This study was part of a larger project to explore the perceptio…
Knowledge and attitudes toward complete diagnostic autopsy and minimally invasive autopsy
Knowing the cause of death (CoD) plays an important role in developing strategies and interventions to prevent early mortality. In Vietnam, the CoD of the majority of patients who acquired infectious diseases remains unknown. While there are challenges that hinder the use of complete diagnostic autopsy (CDA) in practice, minimally invasive autopsy (MIA) might be a promising alternative to establish CoD in Vietnam. The current study aims to explor…
Conducting Social Science Research During Epidemics and Pandemics
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on how field-based research is being conducted globally. Given the challenges of undertaking fieldwork during epidemics and the need for mixed methods research to address the social, political, and economic issues related to epidemics, there is a small but growing body of evidence in this area. To contribute to the logistical and ethical considerations for conducting research during a pandemic, w…
Mapping for Engagement
BACKGROUND: Approximately 1. 07 million people in Vietnam are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). To address this epidemic, the South East Asian Research Collaborative in Hepatitis (SEARCH) launched a 600-patient cohort study and two clinical trials, both investigating shortened treatment strategies for chronic HCV infection with direct-acting antiviral drugs. We conducted ethnographic research with a subset of trial participants and found tha…
A Mixed-Methods Approach to Identify Farmers’ Perception and Practices Regarding Antibiotic Use in Vietnam
Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is one of the greatest global health concerns. The growth of food animal farming has challenged efforts to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use (ABU) and is linked to the rapid increases in ABR. This mixed-methods sociological study was conducted between 2016 and 2017, in a sample of 100 animal farmers in southern Vietnam, aiming to characterize their perception of ABU and identify factors influencing their practice. Data…
Patient and public involvement in mental health research
This collection of papers demonstrates a growing interest and maturity of experience within the field of patient and public involvement utilizing a range and various forms of involvement with different groups and communities. Many of the papers placed emphasis on dignity and respect, Faulkner et al, Warner et al.; others, for example Tyler et al., and Kuhne et al., highlighted the importance of listening to the patient voice. The need for shared …
Collecting and using patient experience data
Data on patient and public involvement vary in the extent and consistency in which they are collected and used across contexts (clinical, research and service improvement). Collection and analysis of patient experience data in research and in service development/improvement have different purposes. Such data may not always be translated or utilized well when the aim is service improvement.1-3 The reasons for this include the following: how the da…
Patient and public involvement and engagement
Let us begin with a cautionary tale—Mind the Gap! There is a serious message behind the warning "Mind the Gap" that we hear when travelling on the London Underground—a reminder to passengers that when alighting from a train, there is a gap between train and platform. This warning also applies to patient and public involvement and engagement across the health and social care trajectory as illustrated in this edition of HEX. The papers highlight th…
Co‐production for service improvement
AIM: To co-produce consensus on the key issues important in educating mental health-care professionals to optimize mental health medication adherence in Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups. OBJECTIVES: To identify perceptions of factors enabling or disabling medication adherence. To achieve consensus on content and delivery of an educational intervention for mental health-care professionals. METHODS: Data were collected from 2016 to 20…
A Hierarchy of Power
Amidst statutory and non-statutory calls for effective patient and public involvement (PPI), questions continue to be raised about the impact of PPI in healthcare services. Stakeholders, policy makers, researchers, and members of the public ask in what ways and at what level PPI makes a difference. Patient experience is widely seen as an important and valuable resource to the development of healthcare services, yet there remain legitimacy issues …
Interpersonal relationships and communication as a gateway to patient and public involvement and engagement
Internationally, health-care systems and organizations are constantly endeavouring to improve performance, enhance patient and carer experience and achieve better patient outcomes. To facilitate this, health and social care professionals are increasingly involving patients and the public in a range of decision-making processes, person-centred care planning,1, 2 development of clinical guidelines and care delivery systems, research strategies and …
Engaging patients and public in decision‐making
We are living in a dynamic, rapidly changing world with a more informed society, members of which hold greater expectations of health-care services and treatment outcomes. Consequently, the nature and delivery of health care is constantly changing, influenced by advances in medical science and technology, demography and greater public awareness of health and illness. These transformations have bearing on the dynamics of relationships that exist b…
Whose voices? Patient and public involvement in clinical commissioning
AIM: This paper aims to explore patient and public representation in a NHS clinical commissioning group and how this is experienced by staff and lay members involved. BACKGROUND: Patient and public involvement is believed to foster greater public representativeness in the development and delivery of health care services. However, there is widespread debate about what representation is or what it should be. Questions arise about the different cons…
Approaches towards optimizing individualized, high‐quality, evidence‐informed care
Health-care professionals and service providers are constantly striving to find the best ways of delivering high-quality, individualized, evidence-informed care. Critical to the process is shared decision-making, exchange of information and patient and public engagement at all levels from the clinical encounter to policy development. Other essential characteristics are communication, partnership working, therapeutic relationships, respect for dig…
Service user involvement in the coproduction of a mental health nursing metric
Service users’ involvement in mental health service research is increasingly acknowledged as important, yet, whilst involving users of mental health services as research participants is commonplace, seeking out their experience and indeed their “expertise” to facilitate the development of tools to be used within mental health services is in its infancy. This article describes the involvement and views of service users in the development of a nurs…
Service user involvement in mental health care
Producing different analytical narratives, coproducing integrated analytical narrative
Involvement of people who use health services as researchers is increasingly widely practised internationally, but methodological enquiry into how involvement impacts on research findings is lacking. A qualitative study of the experiences of people detained under the UK Mental Health Act (1983) used secondary analysis to explore the extent to which mental health service user researchers produced different interpretive narratives to conventional u…
‘What difference does it make?’ Finding evidence of the impact of mental health service user researchers on research into the experiences of detained psychiatric patients
Background Interest in the involvement of members of the public in health services research is increasingly focussed on evaluation of the impact of involvement on the research process and the production of knowledge about health. Service user involvement in mental health research is well‐established, yet empirical studies into the impact of involvement are lacking. Objective To investigate the potential to provide empirical evidence of the impact…
