Where grief education goes to die? A response to making learning about grief, death, and loss mandatory in Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence
Stephen C Scholes - ORCID: 0000-0002-5808-6121
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5808-6121This rapid response raises challenges to Dawson et al’s (2023) recent proposals for mandatory grief education in schools; in particular, it considers curriculum crowding, the limitations of legal mandates and initial-teacher education. It proposes collaborative working between specialist groups as a way forward.N/Ahttps://www.bereavementjournal.org/index.php/bcj/article/view/1137/1142https://doi.org/10.54210/bj.2024.11373pubpub
The development and internal pilot trial of a digital physical activity and emotional well-being intervention (Kidney BEAM) for people with chronic kidney disease
From Springer Nature via Jisc Publications RouterHistory: received 2023-09-15, registration 2023-12-20, accepted 2023-12-20, epub 2024-01-06, online 2024-01-06, collection 2024-12Acknowledgements: The authors acknowledge the work of the various research teams at each site and thank all the participants involved in this research. This research was prospectively registered NCT04872933.Publication status: PublishedPelagia Koufaki - ORCID: 0000-0002-1406-3729 https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1406-3729This trial assessed the feasibility and acceptability of Kidney BEAM, a physical activity and emotional well-being self-management digital health intervention (DHI) for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which offers live and on-demand physical activity sessions, educational blogs and videos, and peer support. In this mixed-methods, multicentre randomised waitlist-controlled internal pilot, adults with established CKD were recruited from five NHS hospitals and randomised 1:1 to Kidney BEAM or waitlist control. Feasibility outcomes were based upon a priori progression criteria. Acceptability was primarily explored via individual semi-structured interviews (n = 15). Of 763 individuals screened, n = 519 (68%, 95% CI 65 to 71%) were eligible. Of those eligible, n = 303 (58%, 95% CI 54–63%) did not respond to an invitation to participate by the end of the pilot period. Of the 216 responders, 50 (23%, 95% CI 18–29%) consented. Of the 42 randomised, n = 22 (10 (45%) male; 49 ± 16 years; 14 (64%) White British) were allocated to Kidney BEAM and n = 20 (12 (55%) male; 56 ± 11 years; 15 (68%) White British) to the waitlist control group. Overall, n = 15 (30%, 95% CI 18–45%) withdrew during the pilot phase. Participants completed a median of 14 (IQR 5–21) sessions. At baseline, 90–100% of outcome data (patient reported outcome measures and a remotely conducted physical function test) were completed and 62–83% completed at 12 weeks follow-up. Interview data revealed that remote trial procedures were acceptable. Participants’ reported that Kidney BEAM increased their opportunity and motivation to be physically active, however, lack of time remained an ongoing barrier to engagement with the DHI. An randomised controlled trial of Kidney BEAM is feasible and acceptable, with adaptations to increase recruitment, retention and engagement. Trial registration NCT04872933. Date of first registration 05/05/2021.This trial was funded by a grant from Kidney Research UK. Funding for Kidney Beam is currently supported by the four major UK charities: Kidney Research UK, Kidney Care UK, National Kidney Federation and the UK Kidney Association.

A qualitative investigation of a virtual community music and music therapy intervention: A Scottish–American collaboration
Hannah Quigley - ORCID: 0000-0002-8948-0703
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8948-0703This study investigates the experiences of people involved in a virtual intervention involving community music and music therapy for individuals with autism. The intervention blends conventional music therapy and community music approaches. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many community music and music therapy projects shifted to an online format and there is a resultant need to understand more about how virtual music interventions may be of benefit for individuals with autism. We report on the design, implementation, and outcomes of one such intervention. Over an 8-week period, community musicians and music therapists (music facilitators) based in Scotland and America delivered 16 music sessions, which were recorded using the Zoom software. During the sessions the participants wrote, performed, and recorded two songs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with two of the participants, using video elicitation techniques, and six of the facilitators. Data were analyzed thematically. The intervention was found to (1) enable participants to explore their personal narratives, (2) promote self-perceptions of achievement, and (3) provide evidence of mastery, creativity, and self-expression. An international collaboration made possible by technology enabled facilitators to work remotely and participants to make use of new opportunities for engagement. This article demonstrates how community music practices focusing on participation and music therapy approaches focusing on clinical outcomes can be integrated. We present the online environment as its own social milieu in which creativity and connection can be explored in new ways.https://doi.org/10.1177/10298649241227615aheadofprintaheadofprin
Predictors of Food Waste Behaviour: The Case of Young Malaysian Consumers
The increase in global food waste has raised considerable concern for the environment. Over 820 million people worldwide are undernourished, while nearly a quarter of the global edible food is wasted by people. Malaysian consumers waste an estimated 16,668 tonnes of edible food daily, which has exacerbated food waste issues. Although households are the major contributors in generating food waste, it has been indicated that young consumers tend to waste more food compared to the elderly as they tend to eat outside or order takeaway food rather than eat at home or cook themselves. Therefore, the present quantitative study aims to develop a conceptual model to predict the factors that influence food waste behaviour among young Malaysians. A total of 222 useful data were collected through the Online Survey. The findings showed that environmentally conscious purchase, impulsive food purchasing, personal attitude, financial attitude, and social influence could impact food waste intention and consequently, actual food waste behaviour among young Malaysians. The findings provide implications for the food and beverage sector and the government to mitigate the food waste behaviour among the younger generation.https://journal-of-marketing-management-and-consumer-behavior.com/index.php/JMMCB/article/view/2364pubpub
A qualitative meta-synthesis of studies of patients' experience of exercise interventions in advanced cancer
From Frontiers via Jisc Publications RouterHistory: collection 2023, received 2023-09-21, accepted 2023-12-11, epub 2024-01-04Peer reviewed: TruePublication status: PublishedErna Haraldsdottir - ORCID: 0000-0003-4891-0743
https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4891-0743Background: People with advanced cancer often experience reduced functional capacity and quality of life. Research evaluating the potential benefit of exercise programmes for limiting such decline is accumulating. However, an appraisal of the evidence that considers the patient experience of exercise programmes, what mattered to them and what motivated and encouraged them to engage in exercise, has not been published. The aim of this meta-synthesis was to identify, appraise and bring together evidence from qualitative research in this area. Methods: Four databases were searched from 2nd January to 8th January 2023 for relevant studies. Qualitative studies investigating the experience of exercise as an intervention for adults with advanced cancer were included. Major findings and study characteristics were extracted. Findings were summarised, compared, and synthesised using meta-synthesis. Results: Eight studies were eligible and generated seven sub themes which informed the construction of three key themes: (1) Impact of Delivery Method; (2) Emerging Motivation; and (3) Physical Impact. Conclusion: The analysis revealed that exercise has the potential to positively influence all four dimensions of well-being: physical, psychological, social, and spiritual, for people with advanced cancer. Future research is required to consider the differential impact that the type, volume, and duration of exercise may have on the exercise experience for this patient group.pubpu
Raising awareness isn’t enough: The role of the psychology of education in disability-related justice and inclusion in primary classrooms
Sian Jones - ORCID: 0000-0002-2399-1017
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2399-1017What: When it comes to education, disability inequality is arguably a structural and systemic
issue. The social model of disability, enshrined in teacher education programmes in the UK
espouses the ways in which school environments rather than disabled children themselves,
need to adapt and change. However, the role of psychology in addressing disability-related
systemic injustice is less clear. The aim of this paper is to consider the potential role of the
psychology of education in working towards disability justice in schools.
Why? Many inclusive teacher-education programmes set out the ways in which environments
may be created to include disabled children. Psychologists have focused on disabled children’s
needs to access and participate in the classroom, but often do not consider their exclusion in
social model terms, from curriculum materials, classroom displays, or material culture more
generally. Favazza and colleagues (e.g. 2017) now offer a sizeable body of research showing
that disability representation in school classrooms is negligible. This lack of representation is
reflected among the staff in the teaching profession, where the 2016 census suggests that 0.5%
of English teaching staff declared a disability (DfE, 2017) and more recent census data shows
disability data were not collected (DfE, 2023a). It is this lack of representation of disabled
people, and its possible psychological underpinnings, that this paper addresses.
How? This paper uses social and affirmative model lenses to (a) explore the ways in which
disability may be seen as a structural inequality in contemporary UK education, and (b) suggest
ways in which researchers and practitioners in the Psychology of Education may work to
towards disability justice. This may be achieved by considering extant research practice, and
through research focusing on perceptions of and attitudes towards disability, alongside existing
psychological work that focuses on disabled children’s individual needs.inpressinpres
Adapting Sunset Song: Authorial, Industrial and National Discourses in the 2015 film adaptation of Sunset Song
This article has been accepted for publication by International Review of Scottish Studies published by Edinburgh University Press. https://euppublishing.com/toc/irss/currentThis article traces the discourses shaping the 2015 film adaptation of Sunset Song, directed by Terence Davies. In doing so it shows how the film, and Gibbon’s original novel, are involved in complex negotiations of ideas about Scottishness. In the case of the film, this can be seen through a sophisticated and poetic visual engagement with some aspects of the novel’s characterisation of Chris Guthrie, its use of language and its representation of landscapes. But it can also be seen in paratextual materials which demonstrate the route taken by the producers and director in negotiating the fraught economic terrain of feature length filmmaking in Scotland, both in terms of its funding applications to national funder creative Scotland, and the way it mobilised particular discourses of art-house and auteur cinema in its marketing and production materials. Finally, through a close look at the emphasis on militarism, femininity and landscape in the film text, the article considers how the film performs a kind of Scotland that is both amenable to the tastes of the filmmaker, desires of the public funder and the art-house, film festival circuit where it will primarily be consumed.https://euppublishing.com/toc/irss/current49inpressinpress
