ObjectivesEvaluate the outcomes and explore experiences of patients undergoing a residential combined physical and psychological programme (CPPP) for chronic low back pain.DesignA longitudinal observational cohort design, with a parallel qualitative design using semistructured interviews.SettingResidential, multimodal rehabilitation.Participants136 adults (62 male/74 female) referred to the CPPP, 100 (44 male/56 female) of whom completed the programme, during the term of the study. Ten (2 male/8 female) participated in the qualitative evaluation.InterventionA 3-week residential CPPP.Outcome measuresPrimary outcome measures were the STarT Back screening tool score; pain intensity—11-point Numerical Rating Scale; function—Oswestry Disability Index (ODI); health status/quality of life—EQ-5D-5L EuroQol five-Dimension-five level; anxiety—Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7; depression—Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Secondary outcome measures were the Global Subjective Outcome Scale; National Health Service Friends and Family Test;.ResultsAt discharge, 6 and 12 months follow ups, there were improvements from baseline that were greater than minimum clinically important differences in each of the outcomes (with the sole exception of ODI at discharge). At 12 months, the majority of people considered themselves a lot better (57%) and were extremely likely (86%) to recommend the programme to a friend. The qualitative data showed praise for the residential nature of the intervention and the opportunities for interaction with peers and peer support. There were testimonies of improvements in understanding of pain and how to manage it better. Some participants said they had reduced, or stopped, medication they had been taking to manage their pain.ConclusionsParticipants improved, and maintained long term, beyond minimum clinically important differences on a wide range of outcomes. Participants reported an enhanced ability to self-manage their back pain and support for the residential setting.

Matching Familiar Figures Test

The relationship between cognitive impulsivity, as measured by Kagan's Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFF), and interpersonal popularity was investigated in a sample of 42 “predelinquent” preadolescent boys in a residential setting. Predictions that the relationship would vary with the specific sociometric situations sampled were generally not confirmed. In fact, both the latency and errors dimensions of the MFF proved to have comparatively little association with social status, with age and intelligence demonstrating much stronger correlations with sociometric scores. Similarities to, and differences from, results with nondelinquent populations are discussed, as are implications for attempts at modifying cognitive style.

Just Right

IntroductionWe report on an evaluation of the Just Right approach for planning care for adults with learning disabilities and how it can support culture change. Just Right combines installing a telemonitoring system with training for care managers in person-centred care planning and the interpretation of charts that summarise activity data for their setting. By providing insights into the needs of individuals Just Right allows existing care provision to be reviewed to ensure it is ‘just right’. The Just Right approach can also potentially identify over-care and resources that can released.MethodsA mixed-methods approach was used, triangulating qualitative and quantitative baseline and follow-up data. Qualitative data were collected before and after implementation from focus groups on barriers, enablers, success outcomes and impacts. A theory of change was developed. Detailed data on individual adults with learning disabilities were collected before and after installation of equipment using a linked online survey completed by their care managers.ResultsNine commissioning local authorities were recruited with 33 care providers serving 417 adults with learning disabilities. Issues relating to implementation included staff acceptance, culture, consent, safeguarding, local authority engagement, interpretation of data and residential setting. Changes to care were identified for 20.3% of individuals, with 66% of providers not identifying any changes because Just Right confirmed that they were providing the right level of support.DiscussionBy combining telemonitoring and person-centred care planning, Just Right provides a holistic approach and necessary information for conversations amongst stakeholders about the care needs of adults with learning disabilities. Depending on how it is introduced, and the nature of conversations held, the Just Right approach can potentially change culture, leading to improved outcomes.

Residential Rehabilitation

Many cervical cancer survivors experience late adverse effects, and rehabilitation may alleviate symptoms. This study describes participants’ experiences with late adverse effects in daily living and with experiences of perceived rehabilitation in hospital, municipal, and a residential setting. Twenty-one cervical cancer survivors aged 40-72 years, curatively treated with concomitant radio-chemotherapy, with moderate/severe incontinence and sexual problems, participated in a 5-day residential rehabilitation intervention. Three focus group interviews were conducted and analyzed. Late adverse effects like incontinence, sexual problems, tinnitus and pain severely restricted everyday life. The participants described rehabilitation in hospital settings as fragmented, but several of the participants benefitted from the physical rehabilitation in municipal settings; however, no participants were offered sexual rehabilitation. In the residential setting, they gained a sense of connectedness and confidence in association with peers. More time to reflect and the anonymity gave opportunity to work with sensitive issues e.g. sexuality. Increased knowledge about late adverse effects and tools to alleviate these made the participants prepared to regain command of their lives. In conclusion, incontinence and tinnitus had especially impact on social life and every day activities. The participants benefitted especially from rehabilitation in two settings (municipal and residential). Intensively psychosocial interventions allowed participants to work with underlying problems. Women with sexual and/or incontinence problems favored the residential rehabilitation due to anonymity.
