According to a 2014 Alzheimer's Association poll, stress, depression, burden, and decreased emotional well-being are the most frequently cited effects of dementia caregiving (Alzheimer's Association, 2015), most likely because caregivers of people with dementia spend a longer time, on average, in a caregiver role than do caregivers of people with other types of diagnoses (Alzheimer's Association, 2015). In this situation, both methods of providing information for the intervention and control groups were presented in the same manner, which allowed for a comparison of information rather than a comparison on which form of media was used.

[...]a 2014 Alzheimer's Association telephone survey of 3,102 respondents revealed that the three primary reasons family members or other caregivers decided to provide care included wanting to keep the person with dementia (PWD) at home, living close to the PWD, and feeling obligated as a spouse or partner (Alzheimer's Association, 2016). [...]reference lists from articles included in the systematic reviews were examined for potential articles, and selected journals were hand searched to ensure that all appropriate articles were included. [...]insufficient evidence from 1 Level III study (Gitlin, Jacobs, & Earland, 2010) showed the translation of the Environmental Skill-building Program (ESP), now named Skills2Care®, into home-based clinical practice was moderately successful, with 70% adoption by occupational therapists and close to 60% of eligible caregivers participating in the program. [...]evaluating longer term effectiveness of interventions over a 1-yr or greater time frame is needed because most studies evaluate outcomes only immediately after the intervention is completed.

To mark the World Mental Health Day, Healthwatch Enfield and Barnet Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust (BEH) announce the launch of ‘Service Champions: a key to getting it right?’ report.
For over two years, Healthwatch Enfield sought the views of more than 220 mental health service users, professionals, and carers on their experiences of the support and services available within the borough publishing its third thematic report, “Listening to local voices on mental health” in August 2016. Through sharing their stories, local people told us that they most strongly support the need for early engagement of service users, patients, carers and the public in designing and enhancing mental health services and support.

Parenting an individual with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) can be challenging, particularly during adulthood. It is important to better understand ways of supporting families as individuals with IDD age. Self-compassion is a potential internal coping resource for parents, and is strongly linked to positive mental health outcomes, though research has yet to examine it in parents of adults with IDD.

The application of telehealth technology to conduct functional analysis (FA) and functional communication training (FCT) is emerging for children with developmental disabilities and behaviour support needs. The current study was designed to extend FA + FCT for self-injurious behaviour by using telehealth in home with parents as interventionists receiving real-time remote coaching. .

A talk given at WDCNZ 2011. Abstract:
We all know what “user experience” is and we know that it’s important. We analyze drop-off rates for sign-in flows, do A/B testing on color schemes, and organize user focus groups for new features. But we rarely talk about the “developer experience” - what we all go through each time we try to use a developer tool, library, or API. How do we decide what tool to use? Is it easy to integrate with our development environment? How flexible is the API? Where do we go when something goes wrong? Those are the sort of questions that we can ask to understand what it’s like for a developer to use a product - and where it can be improved.
Whether you simply use developer products or you actually build one yourself, you should walk away from this talk with ideas on how to make a great developer experience - and why it matters.
Wir wollen mithelfen, dass die Welt von morgen ein kleines bisschen benutzbarer wird. Dazu legen wir auf UXcite unsere Erfahrungen aus dem Bereich User Experience dar und hoffen darauf jede Menge Gleichgesinnte zum Austausch zu finden.
Self-harm in young people is a common reason for contact with clinical services. However, there is little research focusing on parents’ perspectives of care following self-harm.

Clinical guidelines for suicide prevention often stress the identification of risk and protective factors as well as the evaluation of suicidal intent. However, we know very little about what psychiatrists actually do when they make these assessments. The aim was to investigate psychiatrists’ own accounts of suicide assessment consultations, with a focus on their behaviors, attitudes and emotions.
International suicide prevention strategies recommend providing support to families bereaved by suicide. The study objectives were to measure the proportion of cases in which psychiatric professionals contact next of kin after a patient’s suicide and to investigate whether specific, potentially stigmatizing patient characteristics influence whether the family is contacted. : Login at top right hand side of page using your SSSFT NHS Athens for full text.

The Care Quality Commission now involves ‘experts by experience’ – people who have first-hand experience of health and/or social care services – in its inspections, in training inspectors and in the broader shaping of the organisation. Utilising the 'renewable energy' of patient expertise was one of the central pillars of the NHS five year forward view (Forward View), now more than two years old.
With cases of dementia on the rise, it's more important than ever that services give people the support they need. Read our briefing to find out what people have told local Healthwatch about their experiences of care.
