"I mean, it kind of saved my life, to be honest": a qualitative study of participants' views of a dialectical behaviour therapy for multidiagnostic eating disorders programme.

Background: Despite the increasing use of dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) as a treatment for eating disorders (EDs), there is little published evidence of its effectiveness for treating restrictive eating disorders. DBT for EDs may be particularly helpful for those who live with severe and enduring eating disorders (SE-EDs) given that it targets those for whom first-line treatments have not been effective, its focus on factors thought to maintain symptoms and its focus on improving quality of life. This study sought to evaluate the experiences of participants in a comprehensive DBT programme for people with SE-EDs.

'I didn't want to go home' patient-identified modifiable risk factors associated with hospital readmission: a qualitative study.

Background: Hospital readmissions are costly for patients, their families and healthcare systems. Identifying and addressing risk factors can reduce the number of people who experience readmission. Few studies have explored modifiable risk factors such as health beliefs from patients' perspective to explore the complexity of risk factors for readmission.

An Exploration of the Goodness of Fit of Web-Based Tools for Māori: Qualitative Study Using Interviews and Focus Groups.

Background: Indigenous communities often have poorer health outcomes and services under traditional models of care. In New Zealand, this holds true for Māori people who are tāngata whenua (the indigenous people). Several barriers exist that decrease the likelihood of indigenous communities often have poorer health outcomes and poor service fit under traditional models of care, including access issues, systemic and provider racism, and a lack of culturally safe and responsive services.
