Mainstream and special schools’ use of well‐being programmes
The incorporation of mental well‐being provision into school curricula is increasingly the focus of government policy in the UK and internationally. However, it is not clear what well‐being programmes schools provide to pupils, and how these programmes are delivered. The current study was an online survey to assess the use of whole‐school well‐being programmes in primary schools in North Wales. Normalisation Process Theory was utilised as a frame…
Team Around the Patient
Background: Demands on healthcare are outstripping the resources available. Many organisations are struggling to recruit sufficient registered nursing staff to maintain service delivery and are re-evaluating how safe, high quality, sustainable care could be provided. The concept “Team Around the Patient” being piloted in Hywel Dda University Health Board seeks to understand who can provide what care outside of traditional workforce models. The ob…
The Effects of Tobacco Coverage in the Public Communication Environment on Young People’s Decisions to Smoke Combustible Cigarettes
In today’s complex media environment, does media coverage influence youth and young adults’ (YYA) tobacco use and intentions? We conceptualize the “public communication environment” and effect mediators, then ask whether over time variation in exogenously measured tobacco media coverage from mass and social media sources predicts daily YYA cigarette smoking intentions measured in a rolling nationally representative phone survey (N = 11,847 on 1,1…
What Does a Systems Approach to Quality Improvement Look Like in Practice
Universally improving healthcare systems is difficult to achieve in practice with organisations implementing a range of quality improvement (QI) approaches, in varying and changing contexts, and efforts ranging from project-based improvements to whole system change. This study aimed to identify how organisations overcome the challenges to improving the quality of the services they deliver. Drawing on the eight challenges from the 'Quality and Saf…
What Have We Learnt About the Sourcing of Personal Protective Equipment During Pandemics? Leadership and Management in Healthcare Supply Chain Management
Introduction: During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic there have been much publicised shortages in Personal Protective Equipment for frontline health care workers, from masks to gowns. Recent previous airborne pandemics provide an opportunity to learn how to effectively lead and manage supply chains during crisis situations. Identifying and plotting this learning against time will reveal what has been learnt, when and, significantly, what can be lea…

Higher Education Outreach
How should academic staff engage in outreach with communities outside of the university? The need of academics to answer this question has intensified in the UK given the changing priorities of academic job roles, shaped by increasing institutional concern for widening participation, graduate employability and research impact in an era of austerity and high tuition fees. While university outreach professionals, such as those in widening participa…
Validation and modification of dried blood spot‐based glycosylated hemoglobin assay for the longitudinal aging study in I ndia
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to validate a modified dried blood spot (DBS)-based glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) assay protocol, after a pretest in India showed poor correlation between the original DBS-based protocol and venous results. METHODS: The original protocol was tested on different chemistry analyzers and then simplified at the University of Washington (UW). A second pretest was conducted in India to validate the modified assay protocol,…
Making sense of leadership development
In education literature there is a distinct lack of scholarly work on issues of leadership other than on functional leadership at lower levels or high-level individual leadership activity which dominates existing studies. This empirical research is based on the result of a merger of education providers within the North East of England. A crucial aspiration of the newly merged organisation was to provide an overarching innovative leadership struct…
Peace With My Maker
African Americans participate in advance care planning (ACP) less often and are more likely to opt for life sustaining treatment than non-Hispanic whites. Although prior quantitative and qualitative work has examined the perspectives and attitudes of African Americans, the voices of those who are most likely to confront situations requiring health care decision making-seriously ill African American elders-have not been well depicted. This study u…

What a drop can do
Logistical constraints associated with the collection and analysis of biological samples in community-based settings have been a significant impediment to integrative, multilevel biodemographic and biobehavioral research. However, recent methodological developments have overcome many of these constraints and have also expanded the options for incorporating biomarkers into population-based health research in international as well as domestic conte…
Incorporating psychosocial health into biocultural models
This paper investigates the potential benefits and limitations of including psychosocial stress data in a biocultural framework of human adaptability. Building on arguments within human biology on the importance of political economic perspectives for examining patterns of biological variation, this paper suggests that psychosocial perspectives may further refine our understanding of the mechanisms through which social distress yields differences …
Menstrual Cycle Characteristics and Predictability of Ovulation of Bhutia Women in Sikkim, India
Although a woman's menstrual history can have significant implications for health outcomes, few studies have examined menstrual cycle variability in non-western, non-clinically based populations. This study presents menstrual cycle characteristics from Bhutia women living in Gangtok, Sikkim, India. The Bhutia are one of two indigenous populations residing in this small, northeastern state of India. A total of 1067 cycles were recorded by 200 Bhut…
Community Connections
Poverty, family and community violence, alcohol and drug abuse, preventable diseases associated with high risk sexual behaviors, teenage pregnancy, and stress are among the escalating problems that traditional approaches to health care have not been able to effectively reduce among children and adolescents. Dramatic changes in demographics and American lifestyles require creative strategies to combat the complex health problems of children and yo…
Managing Care
Educational preparation is important to the success of the individual case manager and the survival of this new role in the health care system. The authors of this article present the current consensus information about core areas of knowledge needed by the nurse case manager for basic, intermediate, and advanced levels. Certification also is examined and recommended as further evidence of competence in the case manager role, with information abo…
