Bleeding is the most common cause of preventable death after trauma.
Background Implementation of Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS) is complex as it requires adjustments to associated physical infrastructure, but also changes processes and behaviours. With the global objective optimising improving RAS implementation, this study aimed to: 1) Explore barriers enablers service adoption, incorporating an assessment behavioural influences; 2) Provide optimised plan for effective with incorporation theory-informed implementation strategies that have been adapted...
ABSTRACT Rationale Demands on healthcare workers are high: services stretched, shifts long and professionals (HCPs) regularly work lengthy periods without a break. Spending time continuously ‘on task’ changes decision‐making in predictable ways, as described by the ‘decision fatigue’ phenomenon where decision‐makers progressively shift towards making less cognitively effortful decisions worked break increases. This has been observed repeatedly large quantitative observational studies,...
Objectives To identify studies that applied behavioural approaches to issues of recruitment and/or retention trials; describe these approaches; and gaps for future research. Design Systematic mapping review research undertaken in clinical trials within peer-reviewed sources. Review participants were individuals involved trials, including trial staff, participants, potential former participants. Data sources MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, ERIC, PsycINFO, Web Science ASSIA from inception 15 January...
Older adults perceive less intense negative emotion in facial expressions compared to younger counterparts. Prior research has also demonstrated that mood alters perception. Nevertheless, there is little evidence which evaluates the interactive effects of age and on This study investigated sad older adults' perception emotional neutral faces. Participants rated intensity stimuli while listening music silence. Measures were administered. Younger participants' faces as displaying stronger...
Objectives To identify barriers and enablers to participant retention in trials requiring questionnaire return using the theoretical domains framework (TDF). Study design setting We identified subsequently invited participants who did not at least one during their participation a clinical trial for one-to-one semi-structured telephone interviews. used behavioural (TDF) explore whether any of (eg, beliefs about consequences, emotion) affected return. Thereafter, we generated series belief...
The effective implementation of a fast-changing healthcare delivery innovation, such as robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), into system, can be affected (both positively and negatively) by external contextual factors. As part wider project investigating ways to optimise the RAS, this qualitative study aimed uncover current issues RAS predictions about future robotic surgery. We refer 'current issues' topical salient challenges opportunities related introduction in UK from perspectives key...
To conduct a behavioral investigation, using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF), to identify barriers and enablers maternity healthcare professionals (HCP) inviting all eligible women participate in care trial.We invited HCP recruiters from trials high priority research areas including, diabetes, preeclampsia breastfeeding, across Ireland UK, take part semi-structured interview. Data collection was informed by TDF, followed inductive thematic analysis deductive mapping TDF.Twenty-two...
Background The most common cause of preventable death after injury is haemorrhage. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion the aorta intended to provide earlier, temporary haemorrhage control, facilitate transfer an operating theatre or interventional radiology suite for definitive haemostasis. Objective To compare standard care plus resuscitative versus in patients with exsanguinating emergency department. Design Pragmatic, multicentre, Bayesian, group-sequential, registry-enabled,...
Planning ability is important in everyday functioning, and a key measure to assess the preparation execution of plans Tower London (ToL) task. Previous studies indicate that older adults are often less accurate than young on ToL there may be cultural differences performance However, potential interactions between age culture have not previously been explored. In current study we examined effects an Asian (Malaysia) Western (British) ( n = 191). We also explored whether working memory, age,...
Abstract Background Clinical trials comprise multiple processes at various stages of the trial lifecycle. These often involve complex behaviours such as recruiting vulnerable patient populations and clinicians having to deliver interventions successfully. Few studies have utilised a behavioural framework assess challenges develop strategies for effective recruitment delivery interventions. This study reports application an innovative methodological approach understand core processes, namely...
Trials in pre-hospital trauma care are relatively uncommon. There logistical and methodological challenges related to designing delivering trials this setting. Previous studies have assessed reported individual rather than across the trial landscape identify over-arching factors. The aim of study was investigate opportunities set-up, design conduct from a specific feasibility study.Semi-structured interviews were conducted with two cohorts participants: research personnel who had experience...
Older adults tend to have poorer Theory of Mind (ToM) than their younger counterparts, and this has been shown in both Western Asian cultures. We examined the role working memory (WM) age differences ToM, whether was moderated by education culture (the United Kingdom vs. Malaysia). used 2 ToM tests with differing demands on updating multiple mental states (false belief) applying social rules state processing (faux pas). also looked at education, socioeconomic status, WM. A total 298...
Background Healthcare technologies are becoming more commonplace, however clinical and patient perspectives regarding the use of technology in management childhood asthma have yet to be investigated. Within a trial children, we conducted qualitative process evaluation that provided insights into experiences healthcare staff families on (i) smart inhalers monitor medication adherence (ii) algorithm generated treatment recommendations. Methods We interviewed ( n = 15) 6) who were involved...
Objective: People with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) who experience higher levels of anger also report poorer quality life (QoL). This qualitative study explored the subjective amongst pwMS, and how influenced their lives.Methods: A series semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were conducted 20 pwMS. Interviews recorded, transcribed then Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyse emerging themes.Results: The most common frustration that MS-related symptoms restricted...
