TL;DR: It is argued that the theory-practice gap in nursing is being compounded by a more fundamental divergence of approaches to the delivery of health care and that this represents a major challenge to nurse educators.
Abstract: The existence of a theory-practice gap in nursing in the United Kingdom has been an issue of concern for many years. However recent events have resulted in a new dimension of the theory-practice gap emerging. This paper explores the origins of the contrasting values attributed to nurses and health care managers and identifies areas of conflict. It is argued that the theory-practice gap in nursing is being compounded by a more fundamental divergence of approaches to the delivery of health care and that this represents a major challenge to nurse educators. Nursing is at a crossroads in its development, and if it is to survive it must incorporate some elements of the new managerialism whilst demonstrating to managers the importance of recognizing professional values. The future of nursing can be secured, but it will involve partnership and cooperation with the new managers.

TL;DR: This first long-term evaluation of a community-based patient education intervention delivered in the UK suggests that after participation in the ASMP, persons with arthritis derive substantial and prolonged benefits in terms of perceived ability to manage arthritis, reduction in pain and improved psychological well-being.
Abstract: SUMMARY Objective. A previous UK evaluation of the Arthritis Self-Management Programme (ASMP) demonstrated 4 month improvements in physical and psychological well-being including increased arthritis self-eYcacy and increased use of selfmanagement behaviours such as cognitive symptom management, and reductions in pain, fatigue and anxiety. The purpose of this study was to determine whether these eVects were maintained at 12 month follow-up. Methods. Twelve month data were collected via self-administered questionnaires mailed to participants who had previously responded prior to attending the ASMP and at 4 months follow-up. Results. The sample (n= 112) comprised 82% women with a mean age of 59.6 (s.d. 12.4) yr and a mean disease duration of 14.9 (s.d. 11.1) yr. The majority of participants had a general practitioner-recorded diagnosis of either rheumatoid arthritis (46%) or osteoarthritis (44%). Many of the changes noted at 4 months were sustained at the 12 month follow-up. Conclusion. This first long-term evaluation of a community-based patient education intervention delivered in the UK suggests that after participation in the ASMP, persons with arthritis derive substantial and prolonged benefits in terms of perceived ability to manage arthritis, reduction in pain and improved psychological well-being.

TL;DR: Analysis of observation data suggests that blending this interactive game-based approach with traditional classroom delivery encouraged the teachers and students to engage in communal discussions and debriefing during and after game play.
Abstract: Didactic approaches to Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) have been shown to yield limited outcomes when compared to approaches that stimulate peer discussion and debate. Creating effective interventions, which stimulate peer involvement, remains a demanding task and finding a solution that is not only engaging but also pedagogically sound is vital. A case thus exists for exploring how game technology might facilitate more feasible solutions. This paper presents the development approach of a digital game: PR:EPARe (Positive Relationships: Eliminating Coercion and Pressure in Adolescent Relationships), designed by a cross-disciplinary team of UK researchers from Coventry University's Studies in Adolescent Sexual Health (SASH) research group and the Serious Games Institute (SGI). Psychological targets for game content were identified through Intervention Mapping (IM) and the game design process was based on the Four-Dimensional Framework of Learning (4DF) emphasizing the context of deployment, learner profiling and the pedagogical perspective that influence the mode of representation of the learning content. Early efficacy testing of the game solution was validated through a cluster-randomized controlled trial in local schools (n = 505) indicated some positive outcomes in favour of the game-based approach, based on self-reported measures of psycho-social preparedness for avoiding coercion (F [3, 501] = 15.306, p < .001, @h"p^2 = 0.084). Analysis of observation data suggests that blending this interactive game-based approach with traditional classroom delivery encouraged the teachers and students to engage in communal discussions and debriefing during and after game play. Together, the results demonstrated real benefits for pedagogy-driven game-based approaches to support the delivery of RSE within a classroom setting.

TL;DR: It is suggested that playing professional football can impact on the health of United Kingdom footballers in later life, and the development of OA was associated with poorer outcomes on all aspects of HRQL.
Abstract: Objective—To describe the long term impact of football on the health related quality of life (HRQL) of former professional footballers in the United Kingdom. Method—A cross sectional survey gathered data from 284 former professional players. Respondents reported medical treatments, osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis, other morbidity, disability status, and work related disability since their football career. The EuroQol (EQ-5D) and global health rating scales were selected to assess HRQL. Results—Medical treatment for football related injuries was a common feature, as was OA, with the knee being the most commonly aVected joint. Respondents with OA reported poorer HRQL compared with those without OA. As with medical treatments and problems on each of the five EQ-5D dimensions (pain, mobility, usual activities, anxiety/depression, self care), frequency of disability and work related disability were higher among respondents with OA than those without. Conclusion—This exploratory study suggests that playing professional football can impact on the health of United Kingdom footballers in later life. The development of OA was associated with poorer outcomes on all aspects of HRQL. (Br J Sports Med 2000;34:332‐337)
