Patient and public involvement engagement is an important expected component of health-related research activity in the UK. Specifically within health sphere, (usually defined as raising awareness research) patient actively involving people have traditionally been seen separate but much to gain from working together towards a common goal better outcomes for all.This paper describes unique approach taken by Public Programmes Team: small interdisciplinary team specialists, with backgrounds...
Postnatal depression necessitates timely and effective interventions to mitigate adverse maternal child outcomes in the short term over life course. British south Asian women with are often underserved undertreated due stigma, language barriers, cultural barriers. This trial aimed test clinical efficacy of a culturally adapted, group cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)-based intervention, Positive Health Programme (PHP), delivered by non-specialist health workers for postnatal women.
Postnatal depression is more common in British South Asian women than white the United Kingdom. Despite empirical evidence suggesting effectiveness of cognitive-behavioural therapy as a first line treatment, little available regarding its applicability to different minority ethnic groups. Determining clinical and cost-effectiveness culturally adapted group psychological intervention (Positive Health Programme) primary care for with postnatal compared treatment usual. General practices...
We aimed to evaluate the impact of patient and public involvement (PPI) at each stage research cycle in a dementia programme.We used monitoring forms record programme's PPI different stages qualitative interviews with all participants PPI.We evaluated Research User Groups (RUGs-older people care partners) which were established provide support for programme multiple European sites.We purposively sampled RUG members (n=34) researchers (n=13) who had participated activities. Inclusion criteria...
Hearing and vision impairments are among the most common disabling comorbidities in people living with dementia. Intervening to improve sensory function could be a means by which lives of dementia may improved. However, very few studies have tried ameliorate outcomes improving function. This paper describes multi-step development new intervention designed support hearing their own homes. At end programme, it is anticipated that 'sensory support' package will ready for testing full scale...
Background: Patient and public involvement (PPI) is an active partnership between the researchers in research process. In dementia research, PPI ensures that perspectives of person with “lived experience” are considered. To date, many lower- middle-income countries (LMIC), where still developing, not well-known nor regularly undertaken. Thus, here, we describe activities undertaken seven sites across South Asia as exemplars introducing into for first time. Objective: Through a range exemplar...
Involving older people with dementia in research is increasingly recognised as important to ensure that relevant and beneficial for dementia. But researchers need know how best involve be able show the benefits of involving research. This paper describes a plan explore involvement age-related hearing and/or vision impairment European project investigating combined impact impairment. We set up four Research User Groups (RUGs) their carers based UK, France, Cyprus Greece advise our...
Abstract Background Best‐practice guidelines recommend that appropriate support be provided to public contributors facilitate their involvement in research. One form of is research awareness training. Older people with dementia and care partners were involved four Research User Groups (RUGs) the UK, France, Cyprus Greece. We delivered training (RAT) RUGs. The aim this study was evaluate acceptability perceived outcomes from perspective RUG members. Methods At end each session, participants...
Cognitive and other neurodegenerative conditions related to ageing have become public health priorities in low- middle-income countries. However, contextually based, applied research support the development of awareness, diagnosis care pathways for people with dementia South Asia is still largely undeveloped. This study was aimed use studies as exemplars how individual-level capacity capability building can be achieved.Using Theory Change a framework, we embedded into through six domains:...
Background: There are few evidence-based non-pharmacological interventions adapted for people with dementia (PwD) in lower- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Thus, there is value culturally adapting existing from other settings. One such intervention PwD involves hearing rehabilitation, which may improve dementia-related outcomes. Objective: To adapt evaluate the feasibility acceptability of a multi-faceted support to enhance quality life LMIC setting, Pakistan. Design: This was study...
Abstract Background informed consent is considered to be the standard method for respecting autonomy of individual participants in research and thought based on several conditions: 1) providing information purpose or a specific treatment, what it will entail, 2) being mentally competent understand weigh balance, 3) free from coercion. While there are studies other countries, especially Low Middle Income Countries (LMICs), this study explored role cultural norms process obtaining by...
Aims Suicide poses a significant public health issue, and the presence of suicidal thoughts stands out as prominent risk factor, highlighting importance addressing this aspect for early intervention prevention efforts. While older adults face an elevated attempted suicide, research in domain is currently constrained. This study aims to enhance evaluate efficacy E-CMAP (Culturally Manual Assisted psychological Elderly) mitigating ideation among individuals aged 55 years Pakistan. Methods The...
