What Do We Know About Sharing Power in Co‐Production in Mental Health Research? A Systematic Review and Thematic Synthesis
Authors: Hopkins India , Verlander Max , Clarkson Lucy , Jacobsen Pamela 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundGuidance on co‐production between researchers and people with lived experience was published in 2018 by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) advisory group, previously known as INVOLVE. This guidance described sharing power as a key principle within co‐production. Authentic sharing of power within co‐produced mental health research does not always occur however and remains a challenge to achieve within many projects.ObjectivesTo explore what has been learned about the sharing of power in co‐production within mental health research since the publication of these guidelines, by synthesising qualitative literature relating to power within co‐produced mental health research.MethodsWe carried out a systematic review with thematic synthesis. We searched CINHAL, Embase and PubMed databases to identify qualitative or mixed‐method studies relating to power within co‐produced mental health research. Studies were independently screened by two reviewers for inclusion and appraised using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool (CASP) for qualitative research.ResultsWe identified nine papers that met the criteria for inclusion and were included in the synthesis. Three themes were generated: (1) Battling to share power against a more powerful system, (2) Empowerment through relationships and (3) The journey is turbulent, but it is not supposed to be smooth.ConclusionsResults highlight that power is pervasive, especially within the hierarchical systems research is often conducted within. Sharing power within co‐produced mental health research is an ongoing complex process that is not intended to be easy. Respectful trusting relationships can help facilitate power sharing. However, ultimately meaningful change needs to come from research funders, universities and NHS providers.Patient or Public ContributionThe study authors include a lived experience researcher who contributed to the review design, analysis and write‐up.

Published: September 2024

SummaryThe effect of addition of cellulose (insoluble fibre), either with small or large particle size, pectin (soluble fibre), and combined cellulose and pectin (mimic and intact forms) on the textural anisotropy of soy protein isolate (SPI) high‐moisture meat analogue (HMMA) was investigated. Pure soy protein HMMA exhibited a dense and thick protein‐layered structure. Its texture was not affected upon adding cellulose. In contrast, the addition of pectin led to a softer texture that was susceptible to rupture. The HMMA showed improved textural anisotropy and integrity when incorporating the combined cellulose and pectin. Such an effect was more pronounced for the intact fibre form due to its higher water absorption capacity compared to that of the mimic one. Hence, the protein matrix was entrapped with swollen particles, leading to a significant reduction in extrusion pressure and a marked increase in its textural anisotropy. These findings highlight the advantages of combining insoluble and soluble fibres to produce HMMA with improved fibrous texture.

ABSTRACTAimPresent a study protocol investigating the biobehavioral efficacy of side‐lying vs. supine positions on physiologic and behavioural responses of preterm infants during their transition from tube to full oral feeding, and identify associated infant characteristics.DesignWithin‐subject cross‐over design.MethodsSixty preterm infants born at ≤35 weeks gestational age (GA) from a level 3 NICU are observed during their transition to full oral feeding. Each undergoes two feedings within 24 h: One in the supine position and one in the side‐lying position. Continuous physiologic and video data are collected 30 min before and after feeding. Physiologic measures include heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and autonomic nervous system regulation (heart rate variability and splanchnic‐cerebral oxygen ratio). Behavioural responses are assessed via microanalysis of the sucking and breathing waveforms and videotaped feedings (Suck‐breathe coordination and Early Feeding Skills assessment tool). Data are analysed using linear mixed‐effects models. IRB was obtained in September 2021, with funding awarded by the National Institute of Nursing Research in July 2021.ConclusionThis study will enhance our understanding of the effects of the side‐lying position on preterm infant feeding, providing guidance for its clinical use as a feeding strategy.ImplicationsProvides vital knowledge to guide evidence‐based practices in enhancing oral feeding in preterm infants and inform future pivotal efficacy trials.ImpactIf effective, this intervention could significantly enhance the management of feeding challenges in preterm infants across neonatal care settings.Reporting MethodStandard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) 2013.Patient or Public ContributionWhile direct parent involvement was not documented in our protocol, informal feedback on data collection procedures from parents was incorporated.

AbstractAimWe aimed to examine the mediating effects of the Sense of Coherence (SOC) on the relationship between stress and sleep in nurses during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic.MethodsA cross‐sectional survey targeting nurses in Chiba and Tokyo during the summer of 2021 was conducted using Google Forms. Responses were obtained using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the 13‐item version of the SOC scale (SOC‐13), and questions regarding COVID‐19‐related stress. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to investigate relevant relationships.ResultsA total of 181 valid responses were obtained from 400 surveyed nurses. SEM analysis showed that COVID‐19 stress was indirectly related to PSQI via its effect on SOC‐13, with higher SOC‐13 negatively correlated with PSQI.ConclusionsOur findings suggest the need for interventions designed to promote SOC for nurses working under stressful conditions.

Published: September 2024

AbstractPurposeThis systematic review aimed to provide comprehensive insights on the accuracy, fit, and mechanical characteristics of implant‐supported computer‐aided design and computer‐aided manufacturing (CAD‐CAM) prostheses, with a focus on milled and 3D‐printed approaches.MethodsThe research question focused on implant‐supported dental prostheses, comparing different manufacturing techniques (conventional, milled, and 3D‐printed) to determine the different factors affecting the mechanical properties and fit of the CAD‐CAM implant‐supported prosthesis. The eligibility criteria encompassed studies involving implant‐supported restorations, clear reporting of manufacturing techniques, and English‐language publications from the last decade. The search was conducted across three main databases, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science in September 2023. Publication details, study characteristics, and methodological details of each included study were described.ResultsOf the initial 1964 articles, 581 met the inclusion criteria, and 104 studies were included in the final qualitative analysis. The majority of studies were conducted in the United States, Turkey, and Brazil. Fourteen studies evaluated accuracy parameters, while four studies focused on mechanical characteristics. The studies revealed variability in mechanical properties and marginal and internal fit, with fabrication methods impacting the structural integrity and stress distribution of the prostheses.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that digital manufacturing workflows, both milling and 3D printing, yield acceptable properties for implant‐supported restorations with minimal variations in fit and accuracy. Notably, 3D printing and hybrid techniques demonstrate advantages in specific aspects like marginal fit and stress distribution. However, the milled prosthesis provided superior results in flexural strength and fracture resistance compared to conventional methods. Further research is needed to confirm these findings in clinical settings.

Published: September 2024

AbstractThis study was conducted as a qualitative inquiry to deeply explore the thoughts and experiences of nursing students involved in support activities in disaster areas. It was conducted as a qualitative study. Data for the study were collected through face‐to‐face interviews or video conferencing using a Personal Information Form and a Semi‐Structured Interview Form created by the researcher. Data analysis was conducted using the MAXQDA software.The population of this qualitative study consisted of nursing students actively involved in support activities in 11 provinces affected by the magnitude of 7.7 earthquake centered in Kahramanmaraş/Turkey. The sample of the study comprised nursing students who responded to our call shared with nursing student groups and met the inclusion criteria.Through qualitative analysis, three themes were identified: initial emotions experienced during the earthquake, difficulties faced during the earthquake process, and emotions following the earthquake experience.Students participating in support activities in the earthquake‐affected region provided explanations regarding their emotions, encountered ethical dilemmas, infrastructure issues, as well as deficiencies in organization and education.
Impact of low‐performance signals on employee fraud in public organizations: Evidence from a pay‐for‐performance context
Authors: Kim Taek Kyu 
Published: September 2024

AbstractEmployee fraud, defined as the misuse of organizational resources for personal financial gain, has long been a serious issue in public organizations, risking deteriorated performance outcomes. Although previous public administration research has discussed organizational cheating related to organizational performance, we need to inquire further about employee fraudulent behaviors across public organizations and other scenarios that cause those behaviors. This study focuses on whether performance outcomes affect employee fraud in the context of high‐stakes performance management. To test this relationship, this study links data from performance evaluation and integrity assessment for South Korean government corporations. A regression discontinuity design (RDD) was employed to estimate the impact of performance shortfalls on employee fraud. The results show that employees in poor‐performing public corporations are more likely to abuse operating expenses, benefit allowance, and project expenses than employees in relatively high‐performing organizations.
Practising Resilience: Lived Experience, Agency and Responses to the Cost‐of‐Living Crisis

Published: September 2024

ABSTRACTThe cost of living in the United Kingdom has risen to unprecedented levels, leaving people experiencing intensifying hardship. However, there is a tension between the ways in which the cost‐of‐living crisis has been framed in public discourse and the experiences of the public, who focus less on coping with short‐term shocks and more on the erosion of personal resilience over the long term. To explore how resilience has been practised during the crisis and the types of policy change people want to see, this article draws on findings from a mixed‐methods study, taking in a longitudinal survey fielded in Britain in 2022–2023, alongside findings from deliberative workshops and peer research conducted in three London boroughs. Our contribution is both theoretical, connecting lived experience to the existing literature on resilience, and empirical, through the application of novel methods to policy responses to hardship. Using Item Response Theory, supported by insights from peer research and deliberative workshops, we identify the differential nature of the strategies people are taking to cope with rising costs. We then consider the types of policy changes people would like to see, finding far greater appetite for long‐term, ambitious systemic reform to rebuild resilience, not short‐term measures to weather the peaks of inflation. Our findings suggest a distrust in those with the power to enact change as well as stigma around accessing support, while also highlighting the need for engaging the most vulnerable in the process.

ABSTRACTSmoking is responsible for over 8 million deaths globally per annum. While socially disadvantaged communities are disproportionately affected, few interventions effectively reach these groups. We progressed a participatory action research (PAR) study on smoking‐related health inequalities in the context of the current UK cost‐of‐living crisis. We worked with people living in deprived neighbourhoods in rural northeast Scotland. The objective was to engage affected communities together with the health authority in cooperative action learning. Community‐based participants (n = 9) engaged in a series of workshops (n = 8) adopting roles as co‐researchers, collecting and arranging new data and evidence. We then connected with service providers in a series of additional workshops (n = 3) to analyse and interpret the data, appraise local action and reflect on the process. Community partners identified a convergence between increased stress owing to the crisis, and increased availability, affordability and acceptability of tobacco‐related products, namely e‐cigarettes. The situation was compounded by lack of awareness of available cessation services. A shared action agenda was developed prioritising: (a) the stress‐related root causes of smoking, (b) inclusive access to cessation support, (c) incentivised cessation with locally framed messaging and (d) deliberative dialogue between communities and service providers. There was a high level of engagement, openness and honesty and the strategic relevance of the process was acknowledged. The study provides holistic understandings of health and hardship and demonstrates that existing services can be enhanced with community intelligence. We provide practical methods to support policy commitments to community health emphasising mutual empowerment between service users and providers.

AbstractBackgroundPolynucleotides stimulate collagen formation and are used clinically to enhance elasticity. In this study, we investigated current practices and perceived effectiveness of polynucleotide injection treatment for enlarged facial pores among cosmetic physicians.Materials and MethodsA survey was developed to investigate clinicians’ use and effectiveness of polynucleotides in the treatment of enlarged facial pores. This survey was distributed to clinicians at the Korean Aesthetic Surgery & Laser Society Autumn Symposium.ResultsA total of 407 physicians who used polynucleotides for enlarged facial pores were enrolled in the survey. Polynucleotides were used by 75.7%, 87.7%, and 72.2% of physicians for enlarged facial pores caused by excessive sebum production, reduced elasticity, and acne, respectively. Among those users, 81.4%, 83.8%, and 76.8% in those same categories, respectively, responded that polynucleotides were “very effective” or “effective.” Furthermore, most clinicians combined polynucleotides with microneedle radiofrequency as energy‐based devices and with botulinum toxin as injection therapy.ConclusionThis study highlights the widespread use and perceived efficacy of polynucleotide injection among cosmetic physicians in the Republic of Korea for enlarged facial pores due to excessive sebum production, reduced elasticity, and acne. Positive feedback from practitioners supports the benefits of using polynucleotides in enlarged facial pore treatment.

Published: September 2024

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of the study was to evaluate time to closure, bursting pressures and luminal diameters of a single and double‐layer end‐to‐end anastomoses in normal equine descending colon.Study designExperimental study.Sample populationEight adult horses.MethodsFour segments of descending colon from each horse were randomly assigned to a control (n = 8, CON), one‐layer (n = 12, group 1; continuous Lembert pattern), or two‐layer group (n = 12, group 2; simple continuous oversewn with Cushing pattern). Anastomoses were performed, and time to closure and luminal diameter were measured. Bursting pressures were determined, and location of failure was recorded. Mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed.ResultsMean time to completion was decreased (p = .003) in group 1 (18.6 min ± 22.8 s) compared with group 2 (21.35 min ± 22.8 s). Luminal diameter was reduced (p < .0001) in group 2 (47 ± 2.46 mm) compared to group 1 (65 ± 2.77 mm). Location of failure was remote to the anastomosis in all but one segment; therefore, differences in anastomotic bursting pressures could not be determined.ConclusionTwo‐layer closures resulted in significant luminal reduction and took longer to complete than one‐layer anastomoses.Clinical significanceUse of one‐layer closures may be advantageous primarily with respect to luminal diameter.
