Characteristics and neuropsychological impact of traumatic brain injury in female prisoners.

: To investigate the characteristics of head injury (HI) and its association with offending behaviour, psychological and neurobehavioral functioning, and cognitive performance in female prisoners.: Using a cross-sectional design, female prisoners in the UK reporting a HI with a loss of consciousness (LOC) over ten minutes (n = 10) were compared with a group without a HI with LOC over ten minutes (n = 41) across a range of measures; including scores on standardized clinical questionnaires and performance-based cognitive assessments. Semi-structured clinical interviews assessed HI and forensic history, with forensic history triangulated against the prison database.

To stand back or step in? Exploring the responses of employees who observe workplace bullying.

Bullying remains a pervasive problem in healthcare, and evidence suggests systems in place are not utilised due to perceptions of ineffectiveness and inequity. This study examines bystander responses to bullying and factors that influence decisions to intervene. We explore relationships between bystanders' perceptions of psychological safety across three levels (organisation, supervisor and colleague) and reactions to witnessing bullying.

The prevalence and management of poor sleep quality in a secondary care mental health population.

Study Objectives: Poor sleep quality, particularly insomnia, has been identified as a frequent problem among individuals with mental health difficulties. Comorbid sleep difficulties adversely affect quality of life and functioning, and have been associated with the causation and maintenance of a number of psychiatric disorders, as well as increasing the risk of relapse. The study objectives were to ascertain clinician knowledge related to insomnia, investigate sleep quality among service users in a community mental health setting in the UK, and evaluate service provision of evidence-based interventions for sleep difficulties.
