On the relationship between brand scandal and consumer attitudes: A literature review and research agenda
Authors: Kapoor Sunaina , Banerjee Saikat 
Published: November 2020

AbstractA brand scandal impacts not just the brand, but also different stakeholders in the society. However, there is not enough literature in the domain of brand scandals and consumers’ attitudes. This thematic literature review provides a holistic view of previous studies related to the relationship between brand scandal and consumer attitudes. The present literature review is confined to journals covering 40 years’ of research, that is, articles published from 1980 to 2020. The present study’s theoretical description follows the antecedents, decisions and outcomes (ADO) framework. This study attempts to theorize the antecedents and outcomes of brand scandal in shaping consumers’ attitudes towards scandalized brands. Along with identifying and theorizing antecedents of brand scandal, this literature review identifies the behavioural outcomes of consumers' attitudes towards brand scandal. It also comments on retailers’ moderating role and the mediating effect of corporate action on the same. Moreover, it posits that media amplification influences consumers’ behaviour during the brand scandal. The review concludes the discussion with theoretical and managerial implications and directions for future research using the Theory, Context, Characteristics and Methodology (TCCM) framework. The conceptual model proposed here may be empirically tested to validate the theoretical framework, which may help academic researchers understand the impact of the brand scandal on consumer attitudes. The review makes significant contributions to the field by providing practical guidelines to marketers. They can examine and address the sequences of events during the brand scandal in a productive manner. The theoretical model may serve as a foundation by which companies can shape effective scandal response strategies. The study instils marketers to plan and execute scandal response strategies concerning retailers and the media’s role to mitigate a brand scandal’s impact on consumer attitudes. It also provides insights for marketers to take corrective action and rebuild their brand’s reputation by catering to consumer’s behavioural outcomes in the event of a scandal.

SummaryThe study aimed to investigate the utilisation of prebiotic D‐tagatose by probiotic lactobacilli (L. rhamnosus GG, L. casei, L. acidophilus and L. fermentum) and enteric pathogens (E. coli and S. typhimurium) to determine synbiotic potential of D‐tagatose and lactobacilli combination. The antimicrobial efficacy of the synbiotic preparations (D‐tagatose with lactobacillus) was assessed against selected pathogens in co‐culture assays. Evidently, D‐tagatose supported growth of selected lactobacilli, especially the L. rhamnosus GG and L. casei, but not the enteric pathogens. The tested synbiotic preparations completely inhibited growth of both the pathogens, even in the presence of D‐glucose in co‐cultures. The well‐diffusion assay demonstrated the presence of antimicrobial activity as recorded by drop of culture pH. The study substantiated that D‐tagatose could be an effective prebiotic component for formulation of potential synbiotic combinations with L. rhamnosus GG or L. casei that can be used as an alternative to antibiotics against enteric pathogens.

SummaryThis work aimed to prepare a controlled‐release antibacterial food packaging film by solvent volatilisation using chitosan (CS) and acidified modified montmorillonite (MMt) loaded with CIN (acid‐MMt‐CIN). MMt was successfully acidified and CIN was successfully loaded into acid‐MMt, which had been confirmed by X‐ray diffraction. The coordination of acid‐MMt‐CIN significantly increased the barrier properties of CS film to water vapour, as well as the rigidity and ductility of the film. Furthermore, the CS/acid‐MMt‐CIN film could significantly improve their UV resistance. It was found that the CIN release time of CS/acid‐MMt‐CIN film in isooctane (simulated fatty food) could reach 168 h, which was 72 h longer than that of CS/CIN film. The addition of acid‐MMt‐CIN had a significant inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In short, CS/acid‐MMt‐CIN film could potentially be used as an antibacterial active food packaging film.

AbstractBackgroundThe possible link between dental status and school performance has been investigated. The influence of the clinical consequences of untreated dental caries in this association, however, has been minimally explored.AimTo assess the relationship between clinical consequences of untreated dental caries and school performance in adolescents, and to examine the demographics and socioeconomic status pathways by which clinical consequences of untreated dental caries is associated with school performance.DesignA cross‐sectional study involving 363 low‐income school adolescents was conducted in the city of Manaus, Brazil. Dental clinical measures were registered by five calibrated examiners to evaluate dental caries experience (decayed, missing, and filled teeth index [DMFT]) and clinical sequelae of dental caries (PUFA/pufa index). School performance was assessed using school grade history obtained from official records. Statistical analysis was conducted using pathway analysis to estimate beta coefficients (β) of the direct and indirect effects between variables.ResultsDMFT and PUFA/pufa mean were 1.93 and 0.30, respectively. PUFA/pufa scores (β = −0.19) and male sex (β = 0.35) directly predicted poor school performance. DMFT was indirectly linked to poor school performance via PUFA/pufa scores (β = −0.03).ConclusionsDental caries and clinical consequences of dental caries were important predictors of poor school performance in low‐income adolescents via direct and indirect effects.

Published: November 2020

AbstractBackgroundWnt/β‐Catenin signalling and DMP1 have key roles in tertiary dentinogenesis.AimTo compare the relationship between remaining dentine thickness (RDT), tertiary dentine thickness (TDT), β‐catenin and dentine matrix protein 1 (DMP1) in carious second primary molar teeth with normal (SPM) and hypomineralised enamel (HSPM).DesignExtracted carious SPM and HSPM were fixed, sectioned (5 μm) and stained with haematoxylin and eosin or with indirect immunofluorescence for β‐catenin and DMP1. Image analysis was performed to determine RDT, TDT, β‐catenin and DMP1 intensity in the odontoblast layer and dentine‐pulp complex.ResultsCarious SPM (n = 11; mean RDT = 1536.1 μm) and HSPM (n = 12; mean RDT = 1179.9 μm) had mean TDT 248.6 μm and 518.1 μm, respectively (P = .02). There were no significant differences in intensity values in the odontoblast layer and dentine‐pulp complex for β‐catenin and DMP1 for both groups.ConclusionThere was no observable variation in Wnt/β‐catenin and DMP1 expression between HSPM and SPM despite a statistically significant twofold increased TDT in HSPM compared with SPM that had similar RDT. Thus, the observed increased TDT in HSPM is more likely due to an earlier onset of repair processes rather than an amplified response to caries.

AbstractBackgroundChromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is a multifaceted syndrome with a variable phenotype. Few studies have described the associated dental characteristics and their relationship with medical co‐morbidities; and no Australian data exist.AimTo determine the clinical manifestations and correlations between oral and medical conditions in children with 22q11.2DS.DesignA retrospective observational study. Children genetically diagnosed with 22q11.2DS at the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne were selected; their medical and dental characteristics were collated and analysed.ResultsThe study population (n = 57; mean age 11.5 years, range 2‐27 years) experienced a range of medical conditions involving multiple medical systems; of whom 44 (77.2%) had caries experience, 7 (12.3%) developmentally missing teeth, and 31 (54.4%) developmental defects of enamel (DDE). Smaller proportions of primary teeth were affected by DDE in children with congenital heart disease (2.2% vs 9.7%;P = .02), and cardiac surgery (0.2% vs 9%;P = .001). Conversely, children with hypoparathyroidism (n = 2) had significantly higher proportions of primary teeth affected by DDE (27.5% vs 4%;P = .02).ConclusionsSignificant associations existed between medical conditions (congenital heart disease, history of cardiac surgery, and hypoparathyroidism) and primary dentition DDE in children with 22q11.2 DS.

AbstractNa1/2Bi1/2TiO3‐based materials have been earmarked for one of the first large‐volume applications of lead‐free piezoceramics in high‐power ultrasonics. Zn2+‐doping is demonstrated as a viable route to enhance the thermal depolarization temperature and electromechanically harden (1‐y)Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3‐yBaTiO3 (NBT100yBT) with a maximum achievable operating temperature of 150 °C and mechanical quality factor of 627 for 1 mole % Zn2+‐doped NBT6BT. Although quenching from sintering temperatures has been recently touted to enhance TF‐R, with quenching the doped compositions featuring an additional increase in TF‐R by 17 °C, it exhibits negligible effect on the electromechanical properties. The effect is rationalized considering the missing influence on conductivity and therefore, negligible changes in the defect chemistry upon quenching. High‐resolution diffraction indicates that Zn2+‐doped samples favor the tetragonal phase with enhanced lattice distortion, further corroborated by 23Na Nuclear Magnetic Resonance investigations.

AbstractIt was unusual for Bi3+ ions to enhance the emission intensity of phosphors via nonsensitization. Here, La2MoO6:Eu3+, Bi3+ phosphors were successfully synthesized by a high temperature solid‐state reaction method in air atmosphere. As the increase of doping concentration of Bi3+, the emission spectra of La2MoO6:Eu3+, Bi3+ phosphors had obvious shifts, splits and the enhancement of intensities, which indicated that the characteristics of the phosphors were modified. To analyze these phenomena, the crystal structure refinements, spectral characteristic analyze and Judd‐Ofelt theoretical calculation were mainly performed. Bi3+ ions played the role of the nonsensitizer and affected the distortion of the crystal, the sites of Eu3+ ions, the field splitting energy and the internal quantum yield. Moreover the nephelauxetic effects of Bi3+ ions and the ET process caused synergistically the life times of La2MoO6:Eu3+, Bi3+ phosphors to increase and then gradually decrease. The CIE coordinates of phosphors changed within a small range. This study might be instrumental in promoting the further application of Bi3+ ions in rare earth luminescent materials.

AbstractAimTo evaluate the efficacy of metacognitive group training in reducing psychotic symptoms and improving cognitive insight and functions in people with schizophrenia.DesignRandomized controlled trial. It was carried out between July 2019 ‐February 2020.MethodsFifty‐six patients with schizophrenia were enrolled and randomly assigned to either a control group (N = 29) or a metacognitive training group (N = 27). Blinded assessments were made at baseline, 1‐week post‐treatment and at follow‐up 3 months after treatment. The primary outcome measure was psychotic symptoms based on the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales (PSYRATS). Secondary outcomes were assessed by the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale (BCIS), the Personal and Social Performance (PSP) scale and the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS).ResultsCompletion at follow‐up was high (92.86%). The intention‐to‐treat analyses demonstrated that patients in the metacognitive training group had significantly greater improvements of the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales delusion score and total score and the Personal and Social Performance Scale, after 3 months, compared with the control group. The effect size was medium to large. The intention‐to‐treat analyses also demonstrated that patients in the metacognitive training group had significantly greater reductions of the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales hallucination score and Beck Cognitive Insight Scale self‐certainty score post‐treatment, compared with the control group. The effect size was medium to large.ConclusionThe metacognitive training administered by psychiatric and mental health nurses was effective in ameliorating delusions and social functioning over time and it immediately reduced hallucinations post‐treatment.ImpactMetacognitive training for treating psychosis in patients with schizophrenia is efficacious and administration is clinically feasible in the Portuguese context.Trial Registration NumberClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT03891186.

Published: November 2020

AbstractAimTo define both competencies and envisaged outcomes for registered nurses in expanded roles in Swiss nursing homes to be implemented and evaluated within a new model of care.BackgroundIn regions where Advanced Practice Nurses are rare or absent, registered nurses take up clinical leadership and expanded roles. To allow effective implementation, monitoring and evaluation of these nurses, stakeholders need a shared understanding of the competencies they require and what outcomes they should achieve.DesignRAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method – a modified Delphi method.MethodsA critical literature review and case studies were conducted to identify possible competencies and outcomes for registered nurses in expanded roles. In 2017, a two‐round rating process and an in‐person panel discussion was completed by a group of multi‐professional stakeholders.FindingsTwo rounds generated 190 competencies and 72 outcomes relevant to registered nurses in expanded roles.ConclusionThe relevant competencies and outcomes of registered nurses in expanded roles indicate their support for care teams and development of nursing care in nursing homes. Their geriatric expertise allows them to function as role models and innovators, reinforcing overall perceptions of nursing as a profession. These nurses are especially important in countries and settings where Advanced Practice Nurses are scarce or unavailable.ImpactThe identified competencies clarify the duties of expanded‐role registered nurses, thereby differentiating them from other care providers. Although conducted in the Swiss healthcare system, our methods and findings can be adapted to other healthcare settings. The results of this study will guide the development of an educational programme in a multi‐centre study to reduce avoidable hospitalizations, while the defined outcomes guide the evaluation of their impact.

AbstractAimsTo examine the effect on patients' lives of implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation and their experiences of worry about death.DesignA descriptive phenomenological design.MethodsParticipants with implantable cardioverter defibrillators were recruited through purposive sampling with maximum variation in Antalya, Turkey. Data collection included individual semi‐structured interviews conducted between September 2018 ‐ May 2019. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed by Giorgi's descriptive phenomenology method.ResultsTwenty‐six individuals with implantable cardioverter defibrillators participated in the study. Analysis of the data resulted in three themes and 10 subthemes. The first theme was the physical impact of the device on the body with the subthemes changes in physical functioning and like part of the body; the second theme was social impact in daily life and adaptation to restrictions with the subthemes necessary for life, restrictive behaviours of day‐to‐day life and Seeking social support and the third theme was the emotional impact of the experience of shock and worry about death with the subthemes inevitable truth, living at the boundary, every shock is like you are going to die, advancing on an uncertain path, and trust in life insurance.ConclusionIt was found in this study that the implantation of implantable cardioverter defibrillators affected patients physically, socially, and emotionally in many ways. It is thought that this study will raise the awareness of health professionals and will support a holistic approach, increasing the quality of care.ImpactAlthough the implantation of the cardioverter defibrillator is greatly effective in protecting against sudden cardiac death, for patients it brings with it many physical, social, and emotional problems. This study can contribute to health professionals planning individual education in coping with changes, an increase in group‐based counselling to support the sharing of experience, social networks, and monitoring programs to improve care.

AbstractAimsTo identify the components of transition programs for the successful transition of adolescents and young adults with spina bifida and to synthesize the literature findings on the transition outcomes of the programs.DesignMixed‐methods systematic review.Data sourcesPubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science (January 2010‐June 2019).Review methodsThe methodological quality was appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool and Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Extracted data were summarized as tables. For data synthesis, a sequential explanatory design was used.ResultsEight studies were selected. The main components of the transition programs identified the participants’ characteristics and intervention strategies. Quantitative studies reported only positive transition outcomes, including independence and satisfaction with social support and transition experience, whereas negative outcomes such as negative experiences communicating with providers and uncertainty were further reported in qualitative studies.ConclusionFor development and implementation of a successful transition program, it is necessary to assess the characteristics and needs of the participants and incorporate their needs with input from parents and trained healthcare providers.ImpactWhen planning transition programs, a comprehensive effort that encompasses program development, implementation, and evaluation, based on developmental tasks and long‐term perspectives, is needed. Transition program that reflect the cultural characteristics of Eastern and developing countries are needed.

AbstractAimThe aim of this study was to explore which aspects of their role practice nurses perceive to be most influential and the strategies they employ to promote the MMR vaccine.DesignQualitative study employing in depth interviews.MethodFifteen London based practice nurses, nine in 2014 and six in 2018, took part in semi‐structured interviews that were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Qualitative content analysis was used to systematically manage, analyse, and identify themes.ResultsAnalysis of data identified aspects of their role practice nurses perceived to be most influential (the themes) including: promoting vaccination, assisting parents’ to make informed decisions, and provided insight into how they used specific strategies to achieve these in practice. These themes were consistent over both phases of the study.ConclusionThe findings provide an understanding of: (i) the practice nurses perceptions of the most important aspects of their role when promoting the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine; and (ii) the strategies they implemented in practice to achieve these. The latter included assisting parents in their immunization decisions and was facilitated by practice nurses engaging with parents to provide relevant evidence to address parent queries, dispel misconceptions and tailor strategies to promote the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine.ImpactThis study addresses the paucity of literature available that specifically explores practice nurses’ perceptions of their role concerning the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. The findings reveal how practice nurses promote the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine by identifying strategies to enable parents to make informed decisions. At a time of an increasing incidence of measles, practice nurses have an important public health role in achieving herd immunity levels for measles, mumps, and rubella.
