Pain, Shame, and Power: An Autoethnographic Exploration of Chronic Pain.

In this autoethnographic study, I explore my lived experience of a chronic pain condition, the difficulty in writing about embodied experience, and the links between pain, shame, and power. Neglecting neither the complex emotional world of the individual nor the embedded cultural and social themes that continuously impact on the individual, at its best, autoethnography bridges the divide between personal writing and social influences. In this paper, I aim to combine my lived experience of a pain condition without any apparent biological cause, to the wider issue of how we conceive and attend to embodied experience, shame, and power in qualitative health research.

PRIORITY Trial: Results from a feasibility randomised controlled trial of a psychoeducational intervention for parents to prevent disordered eating in children and young people with type 1 diabetes.

Aims: Children and young people (CYP) with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at increased risk of disordered eating. This study aimed to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a novel, theoretically informed, two-session psychoeducational intervention for parents to prevent disordered eating in CYP with T1D.

Methods: Parents of CYP aged 11-14 years with T1D were randomly allocated to the intervention or wait-list control group.

Reliability and validity of a parent-reported screening tool for disordered eating in children and young people with type 1 diabetes.

Background: There is a high prevalence and complex overlap between type 1 diabetes (T1D) and disordered eating. However, screening for disordered eating in children and young people (CYP) with T1D is not routinely conducted, with reluctance reported by both professionals and parents. This study aimed to validate a parent-reported version of a validated disordered eating screening tool for CYP with T1D (the Diabetes Eating Problems Survey-Revised; DEPS-R).

"I felt like I had no options": Navigating an ultrasound prediction of a large baby in pregnancy.

Background: Pregnancy ultrasound is deeply embedded in maternity care worldwide, undertaken routinely and in response to clinical indicators. Though ultrasound fetal size predictions can be inaccurate, they heavily influence clinical decision-making. As a result, women with a scan prediction of a 'large' baby may be more likely to have unnecessary interventions.

Communication technology practices used by midwives with pregnant women/people in Aotearoa New Zealand to ensure quality maternal and newborn care.

Introduction: Communication technology such as texting is commonly used for sending appointment reminders and reinforcing health messages. Midwives have identified concerns with privacy of information or information taken out of context within an online format. How this technology is used to ensure quality maternal care within a continuity model of midwifery care is unknown.
