Seeing is believing: Patients' attitudes and information preferences towards robotic gynaecological surgery.

Objectives: Robotic gynaecological surgery (RS) is reported to be associated with feelings of apprehension and anxiety pre-operatively in a proportion of patients. This study aimed to investigate patients' understanding and perceptions towards RS, and whether the format of RS information resources could improve acceptability of RS.

Design: A two-phase, sequential, mixed methods study involving semi-structured interviews of patients who had previously undergone gynaecological RS and a block-randomised crossover study of women from the general public.

Risk Stratified Follow-Up for Endometrial Cancer: The Clinicians' Perspective.

Risk-stratified follow-up for endometrial cancer (EC) is being introduced in many cancer centres; however, there appears to be diversity in the structure and availability of schemes across the UK. This study aimed to investigate clinicians' and clinical specialist nurses' (CNS) experiences of follow-up schemes for EC, including patient-initiated follow-up (PIFU), telephone follow-up (TFU) and clinician-led hospital follow-up (HFU). A mixed-methods study was conducted, consisting of an online questionnaire to CNSs, an audience survey of participants attending a national "Personalising Endometrial Cancer Follow-up" educational meeting, and qualitative semi-structured telephone interviews with clinicians involved in the follow-up of EC.

Receiving and breaking bad news: A qualitative study of family carers managing a cancer diagnosis and interactions with healthcare services.

Aims: To explore family carer experiences of managing the process of receiving and breaking bad news about cancer.

Background: Family carers' experiences of bad news are underrepresented in the literature. This study involved oncology staff with personal experience of caregiving and carers to develop broader insights into the range of needs and difficulties experienced by family members in the process of managing a cancer diagnosis.

A qualitative exploration of physical and psychosocial well-being in the short and long term after treatments for cervical cancer.

Objective: Cervical cancer is predominantly a cancer of younger women, and improvements in oncological outcomes have led to an increase in cervical cancer survivors living with the long-term effects of treatment. Understanding the recovery process after treatment is essential to increase awareness of the short- and long-term needs of survivors. The aim of this study was to qualitatively explore the recovery process and return to daily activity of cervical cancers survivors from a biopsychosocial perspective.

ACCEPTANCE: protocol for a feasibility study of a multicomponent physical activity intervention following treatment for cervical cancer.

Introduction: Cervical cancer treatment can have life changing sequelae and be associated with poor short-term and long-term quality of life. Physical activity (PA; that is, bodily movement) is known to improve health outcomes and quality of life for cancer survivors, both physically and psychologically. To date, no interventions to increase PA following cervical cancer have been evaluated.

Increasing physical activity levels following treatment for cervical cancer: an intervention mapping approach.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to utilise the intervention mapping (IM) protocol as a framework with which to develop an intervention underpinned by relevant behaviour change theory to promote physical activity (PA) following treatment for cervical cancer.

Methods: The six steps of the IM protocol were followed. A qualitative semi-structured interview study and a rapid review of the literature were conducted along with the development of a logic model of the problem and a logic model of change to inform intervention development.

How does hormone transition in transgender women change body composition, muscle strength and haemoglobin? Systematic review with a focus on the implications for sport participation.

Objectives: We systemically reviewed the literature to assess how long-term testosterone suppressing gender-affirming hormone therapy influenced lean body mass (LBM), muscular area, muscular strength and haemoglobin (Hgb)/haematocrit (HCT).

Design: Systematic review.

Data Sources: Four databases (BioMed Central, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science) were searched in April 2020 for papers from 1999 to 2020.

Patient acceptability of circulating tumour DNA testing in endometrial cancer follow-up.

Objective: Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is emerging as a potential option to detect disease recurrence in many cancer types, however, ensuring patient acceptability of changing clinical practice and the introduction of new technology is paramount.

Methods: Patients enrolled in a non-intervention cohort study determining the ability of ctDNA to detect recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview. Analysis was performed by Template Analysis.

Gender differences in understanding and acceptance of robot-assisted surgery.

Robot-assisted surgery has numerous patient benefits compared to open surgery including smaller incisions, lower risk of infection, less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to the workforce. As such, it has become the first-choice surgical modality for several surgical procedures with the most common being prostatectomy and hysterectomy. However, research has identified that the perceptions of robot-assisted surgery among surgical patients and medical staff often do not accurately reflect the real-world situation.

Acceptability and utilisation of patient-initiated follow-up for endometrial cancer amongst women from diverse ethnic and social backgrounds: A mixed methods study.

Introduction: A shift in focus towards risk stratification and survivorship in early stage endometrial cancer (EC) has led to the replacement of hospital follow-up (HFU) with patient-initiated follow-up (PIFU) schemes.

Methods: A mixed methods study was undertaken prospectively to investigate utility and patient satisfaction with a newly introduced PIFU scheme.

Results: Two hundred and twenty-eight women were enrolled onto PIFU in the first 18 months, median age 65 years (range 42-90 years).

Collaborative Team Reflective Practice in Trauma Service to Improve Health Care.

The importance of reflection and reflective practice is repeatedly reported in trauma literature, with the process of reflective practice being noted as invaluable for clinicians working within trauma settings. Although the literature on medical primary response trauma teams has reported clinicians' management of clinical roles and additional stressors, the practical applications and benefits of reflective practice insofar have not been identified in relation to complex trauma within multidisciplinary mental health services. This study aimed to identify the issues influencing the capacity for collaborative team reflective practice in a multidisciplinary child trauma mental health service within a UK National Health Service trust.

Team Sport in the Workplace? A RE-AIM Process Evaluation of 'Changing the Game'.

Background: The workplace is a priority setting to promote health. Team sports can be an effective way to promote both physical and social health. This study evaluated the potential enablers and barriers for outcomes of a workplace team sports intervention programme 'Changing the Game' (CTG).

It's Time to Start Changing the Game: A 12-Week Workplace Team Sport Intervention Study.

Background: A 12-week multi-team sport programme was provided to employees of a large services organisation and conducted in workplaces. This programme was used to investigate the short-term effect of regular sports team participation on individual employee and organisational health.

Methods: A large services organisation participated in this study.

Aortic valve surgery: how reliable are health information websites?

Background: Aortic valve replacement is one of the most common cardiac operations currently performed. Patients increasingly use the internet for information about their diagnosis and it would therefore be important to know how reliable this is.

Aim: To determine the reliability of internet information on aortic valve replacement surgery.

What are the Facilitators and Obstacles to Participation in Workplace Team Sport? A Qualitative Study.

Working age adults are failing to meet physical activity recommendations. Inactive behaviours are increasing costs for diminished individual and organisational health. The workplace is a priority setting to promote physical activity, however there is a lack of evidence about why some employees choose to participate in novel workplace activities, such as team sport, whilst others do not.

What benefits does team sport hold for the workplace? A systematic review.

Physical inactivity is proven to be a risk factor for non-communicable diseases and all-cost mortality. Public health policy recommends community settings worldwide such as the workplace to promote physical activity. Despite the growing prevalence of workplace team sports, studies have not synthesised their benefits within the workplace.

Injuries, ill-health and fatalities in white water rafting and white water paddling.

White water (WW) activities such as paddling (canoeing and kayaking) and rafting are popular sports for recreational and professional participants. An increase in participation has been seen worldwide. However, these activities come with a risk of injury and even death if not conducted safely.

Employment and the common cancers: correlates of work ability during or following cancer treatment.

Aims: To provide an in-depth review of the impact of cancer and cancer-related issues on work ability for those working during or following cancer treatment.

Methods: Of total, 19 papers published between 1999 and 2008 on cancer and work ability were reviewed.

Results: Studies have shown that most types of cancers result in decreased work ability compared to healthy controls or those with other chronic conditions.

The interaction between design and occupier behaviour in the safety of new homes.

The design of new homes includes many safety features intended to protect occupiers from injury or ill health within the home, however the effectiveness of these primary intervention measures is likely to be affected by user behaviour. This study examined the interaction between user activity and dwelling design and how this might affect health and safety. It aimed to identify how people use features within new homes and how this may limit the protection afforded by building design, codes and regulations.
