Qualitative interview study exploring the perspectives of pregnant women on participating in controlled human infection research in the UK.

Introduction: Pregnant women have been historically excluded from interventional research. While recent efforts have been made to improve their involvement, there remains a disparity in the evidence base for treatments available to pregnant women compared with the non-pregnant population. A significant barrier to the enrolment of pregnant women within research is risk perception and a poor understanding of decision-making in this population.

Barriers and enablers to implementation of the therapeutic engagement questionnaire in acute mental health inpatient wards in England: A qualitative study.

A strong association exists between the quality of nurse-service user therapeutic relationship and care outcomes on acute mental health inpatient wards. Despite evidence that service users desire improved therapeutic engagement, and registered mental health nurses recognize the benefits of therapeutic relationships, such interactions remain sub-optimal. There is a dearth of evidence on factors influencing implementation of interventions to support and encourage therapeutic engagement.

"Raising the curtain on the equality theatre": a study of recruitment to first healthcare job post-qualification in the UK National Health Service.

Background: UK equality law and National Health Service (NHS) policy requires racial equality in job appointments and career opportunities. However, recent national workforce race equality standard (WRES) data show that nearly all NHS organisations in the UK are failing to appoint ethnically diverse candidates with equivalent training and qualifications as their white counterparts. This is problematic because workforce diversity is associated with improved patient outcomes and other benefits for staff and organisations.

Living on a razor's edge: Experiences of mothers caring for a son on synthetic cannabinoids in Malta.

Various studies have explored collectively the experiences of carers of individuals using illicit substances. Yet such experiences vary by gender, by relationship status to the substance user, by type of drug taken and whether the substance user lives within the same household. A hermeneutic phenomenological design was undertaken with five mothers of sons on synthetic cannabinoids (SC).

Willingness of the UK public to volunteer for testing in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: The World Health Organization declared the rapid spread of COVID-19 around the world to be a global public health emergency. The spread of the disease is influenced by people's willingness to adopt preventative public health behaviours, such as participation in testing programmes, and risk perception can be an important determinant of engagement in such behaviours.

Methods: In this study, we present the first assessment during the first wave of the pandemic and the early stages of the first UK lockdown in April & May 2020 of how the UK public (N = 778) perceived the usefulness of testing for coronavirus and the factors that influence a person's willingness to test for coronavirus.

Inhalation Therapy with Nebulized Capsaicin in a Patient with Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Post Stroke: A Clinical Case Report.

Dysphagia and aspiration risk are common sequelae of stroke, leading to increased risk of stroke-associated pneumonia. This is often aggravated by stroke-related impairment of cough, the most immediate mechanical defense mechanism against aspiration. In humans, reflex cough can be repeatedly and safely elicited by inhalation of nebulized capsaicin, a compound contained in chili peppers.

Capturing learning from public involvement with people experiencing homelessness to help shape new physiotherapy research: Utilizing a reflective model with an under-served, vulnerable population.

Introduction: People experiencing homelessness (PEH) have poorer health than housed people but face barriers accessing care and being involved in research. As an often-ignored group, their contribution to help shape research that is for and about them is essential, as it can strengthen the research proposal, in turn facilitating research and outcomes that are relevant to this vulnerable group.

Methods: Six people with experience of homelessness attended a PPI consultation aided by Pathway, a UK homeless peer advocacy charity, which coordinates an 'Experts by Experience' group.

Speech and language therapy service provision in spinal injury units compared to major trauma centres in England: Are services matched?

Background: National UK guidance makes recommendations for speech and language therapy staffing levels in critical care and rehabilitation settings. Traumatic spinal cord injury patients often require admission primarily to critical care services within a major trauma centre prior to transfer to a specialist spinal injury unit but may not receive similar levels of care. Dysphagia and communication difficulties are recognised features of cervical spinal cord injury; however, little is known about access to speech and language therapy services to provide rehabilitation and improve outcomes.
