A Qualitative Exploration of the Impact, Management, and Existing Psychological Support Available for Adults Living with Skin Conditions.

Skin conditions carry a significant physical, psychological, and social burden. People with skin conditions often engage in health-threatening behaviours that can worsen symptoms and increase cardiovascular disease risk. However, access to dedicated psychological and behaviour-change support is limited.

Somatosensory processing in long COVID fatigue and its relations with physiological and psychological factors.

Fatigue is prevalent amongst people with long COVID, but is poorly understood. The sensory attenuation framework proposes that impairments in sensory processing lead to heightened perception of effort, driving fatigue. This study aims to investigate the role of somatosensory processing impairments in long COVID fatigue and quantify how sensory processing relates to other prominent symptoms of long COVID including autonomic dysfunction, mood and illness beliefs in driving the experience of fatigue.

Measurement properties and interpretability of the Patient-Reported Impact of Dermatological Diseases (PRIDD) measure.

Background: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are crucial in assessing the impact of dermatological conditions on people's lives, but the existing dermatology-specific PROMs are not recommended for use, according to COSMIN. We developed the Patient-Reported Impact of Dermatological Diseases (PRIDD) measure in partnership with patients. It has strong evidence of content validity, structural validity, internal consistency, acceptability and feasibility.

Mixed shift rotations, sleep, burnout and well-being in professions similar to radiographers: A systematic review.

Introduction: Delivering 24 h healthcare requires rotational shift work from doctors and the medical imaging team, while contributing to safe and timely care of patients. Additional service pressure and staff shortfall leads to workload pressures, adjusted shift patterns and risk of burnout. Evidence should be sought to the effects of this work on staff.

Definitions and measures of long COVID fatigue in adults: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: The aim of this scoping review is to investigate how fatigue is defined and measured in adults with long COVID.

Introduction: Following COVID-19 infection, 10% to 20% of individuals experience persisting symptoms for a minimum of 3 months; this is commonly known as long COVID. Fatigue is one of the most prevalent symptoms of long COVID, but there is currently no consistently applied definition of long COVID fatigue.

Further refinement of the Patient-Reported Impact of Dermatological Diseases (PRIDD) measure using classical test theory and item response theory.

Background: Existing dermatology-specific Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) do not fully capture the substantial physical, psychological and social impact of dermatological conditions on patients' lives and are not recommended for use according to the COSMIN criteria. Most were developed with insufficient patient involvement and relied on classical psychometric methods. We are developing the new Patient-Reported Impact of Dermatological Diseases (PRIDD) measure for use in research and clinical practice in partnership with patients.

Patient prioritisation of impact items to develop the patient-reported impact of dermatological diseases (PRIDD) measure: European Delphi data.

Background: The Global Research on the Impact of Dermatological Diseases (GRIDD) project is developing a patient-reported measure of the impact of dermatological disease on the patient's life called Patient Reported Impact of Dermatological Diseases (PRIDD).
