Healthcare utilisation (HU) is key to improving the health of residents in urban informal settlements. This study aimed to explore household-level factors influencing HU among informal settlement households in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Cross-sectional survey.
Three informal settlements (Cockle Bay, Dwarzark and Moyiba) in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Primary data from 4871 households were collected during the Health and Wellbeing survey conducted between April and May 2023, targeting households with adults aged 18 years and older.
The primary outcomes were households HU both within and outside informal settlements. Household-level predisposing and enabling explanatory variables were derived from Andersen’s Behavioural Model of HU.
Disability in households increases HU within settlements (especially in Dwarzark, 13% and Moyiba, 10%) but is less likely outside. Households engaged in income-generating activities are more likely to seek healthcare within settlements, but 12% less likely outside in Cockle Bay and Dwarzark. Food insecurity decreases HU within Dwarzark (9%) and increases HU outside by 174% in Moyiba. Longer water fetching times and water shortages were associated with higher HU (between 6% and 16%) within settlements, especially in Cockle Bay and Dwarzark. Clean water sources (eg, piped dwelling, bowser, surface, bottled) were consistently associated with higher HU both within and outside settlements. Shared sanitation facilities (such as shared toilets) were positively associated with HU both within and outside settlements, particularly in Dwarzark and Moyiba. Households with income from fishing, informal salaried work and bike riding showed higher HU both within and outside settlements, especially in Dwarzark and Moyiba.
We identified strong settlement-specific patterns of household-level factors that influence HU both within and outside Freetown’s informal settlements. These findings provide a foundation for developing targeted policies such as strengthening local services, addressing affordability and accessibility barriers and supporting vulnerable occupation groups.
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated burnout, isolation, and disconnection among healthcare workers, leading to national calls to address workplace mental health. Storytelling has emerged as an effective strategy to build belonging, resilience, and connection. In response, a pediatric healthcare system launched an evidence-based storytelling initiative rooted in narrative medicine and visual symbolism.
To strengthen workplace culture by fostering connection, psychological safety, and meaning through structured storytelling.
Developed in partnership with Dear World, the intervention integrated guided reflection, peer sharing, and professional photography. Initially focused on staff, the initiative expanded to include adolescent and young adult patients. Implementation included phased rollout, train-the-trainer models, onboarding integration, and multimedia engagement. Evaluation methods included pre- and post-surveys and organizational metrics, with the Connection During Conversations Scale (CDCS) used to assess effectiveness across different session formats.
Over 2 years, 1818 participants attended 60 events. Significant improvements in perceived connection and belonging were observed (p < 0.001), with 94% reporting stronger connections to colleagues and 93% to organizational values. CDCS analysis of Year 2 participants (n = 148) demonstrated comparable effectiveness between full and abbreviated session formats, with slightly stronger outcomes in full sessions. As part of broader workforce engagement efforts, nurse turnover declined from 21% to 13%, contributing to $2.3 million in projected cost avoidance.
This scalable, low-cost initiative offers a sustainable model for rehumanizing healthcare. Its integration into orientation, leadership development, and wellness programs underscores its value in fostering connection, resilience, and retention across high-stress care settings.

PurposeLarge language models (LLMs) have the potential to change medical education. Whether LLMs can generate multiple-choice questions (MCQs) that are of similar quality to those created by humans is unclear. This investigation assessed the quality of MCQs generated by LLMs compared to humans.
MethodsThis review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42025608775). A systematic review and frequentist random-effects network meta-analysis (NMA) or pairwise meta-analysis was performed. Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, and Scopus were searched from inception to November 1, 2024. The quality of MCQs was assessed with seven pre-defined outcomes: question relevance, clarity, accuracy/correctness; distractor quality; item difficulty analysis; and item discrimination analysis (point biserial correlation and item discrimination index). Continuous data were transformed to a 10-point scale to facilitate statistical analysis and reported as mean differences (MD). The MERSQI and the Grade of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) NMA guidelines were used to assess risk of bias and certainty of evidence assessments.
ResultsFive LLMs were included. NMA demonstrated that ChatGPT 4 generated similar quality MCQs to humans with regards to question relevance (MD −0.13; 95% CI: −0.44,0.18; GRADE: VERY LOW), question clarity (MD −0.03; 95% CI: −0.15,0.10; GRADE: VERY LOW), and distractor quality (MD −0.10; 95% CI: −0.24,0.04; GRADE: VERY LOW); however, MCQs generated by Llama 2 performed worse than humans with regards to question clarity (MD −1.21; 95% CI: −1.60,-0.82; GRADE: VERY LOW) and distractor quality (MD −1.50; 95% CI: −2.03,-0.97; GRADE: VERY LOW). Exploratory post-hoc t-tests demonstrated that ChatGPT 3.5 performed worse than Llama 2 and ChatGPT 4 with regards to question clarity and distractor quality (p Conclusion
ChatGPT 4 may create similar quality MCQs to humans, whereas ChatGPT 3.5 and Llama 2 may be of worse quality. Further studies that directly compare these LLMs to human-generated questions and administer MCQs to students are required.
To explore the published literature on nurse/midwife and peer worker collaborations in healthcare services.
Scoping review and narrative synthesis.
The framework proposed by Levac et al. was used. PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Embase databases were systematically searched, and results uploaded to Covidence for screening against inclusion criteria. A critical narrative synthesis of included studies was conducted, guided by Popay et al.
Sixteen studies from five countries met the inclusion criteria. They examined peer worker and nurse/midwife collaboration across diverse settings including cancer, HIV, mental health, and community services. Findings indicated that nurse/midwives and peer workers valued the distinct forms of expertise they contributed, which enhanced care. Tensions in collaboration related to clinical dominance and control in hierarchical structures, challenges navigating scope and role boundaries, and mistaken notions of what constitutes ‘successful’ peer work. Peer workers and nurses/midwives could be ‘close strangers’ with little opportunity to build genuine rapport.
Successful collaboration requires attention to power dynamics within healthcare cultures and opportunities to connect and understand each other's disciplinary expertise. Identifying strategies to optimise partnership and mobilise collective strengths has the potential to further enhance care.
Peer worker or ‘lived experience’ roles within healthcare services have rapidly expanded. Our study highlights the benefits of peer worker and nurse/midwife collaborations and areas that require attention, including recognition of peer worker and nurse/midwife roles and responsibilities in the healthcare setting and effective integration of peer workers into existing healthcare teams. Importantly, strategies should be developed to address disparate power dynamics between nursing/midwifery staff and peer workers as these impact workforce relations and capability. Addressing these key areas will strengthen collaboration between nurses/midwives and peer workers, improve healthcare provision, and ultimately benefit service users.
This study highlights the tensions arising when nurses/midwives and peer workers carry out duties alongside each other, as well as factors that can promote effective collaboration. Successful collaboration in healthcare necessitates addressing power differentials, fostering mutual understanding, and providing the tools, training, and inclusive environments needed for nurses/midwives and peer workers to work together effectively.

Despite extensive research on doctoral education, reliable tools to measure how writers' development relates to participation in social interventions such as writing groups are lacking. To address this, we conducted a study to create and evaluate a measurement tool for assessing the impact of writing group interventions on writers' development.
This methodology paper reports on the design, content validity, and evaluation of a new survey tool: the Doctoral and Academic Writing in Nursing, Midwifery, and Allied Health Professional writing questionnaire (DAWNMAHP).
We created a pool of 39 items based on empirical articles from SCOPUS, ERIC, BEI, ZETOC, CINAHL, EBHOST, and PsycINFO, our experience, and stakeholder consultations. After a content validity assessment by writing experts, we revised the pool to 44 items in five domains. Finally, we tested it on doctoral writing workshop attendees using factor analysis, Pearson correlations, and Cronbach's Alpha evaluation.
Thirty-six participants completed the DAWNMAHP survey tool: 22 doctoral students, seven early-career researchers, and seven participants on a designated pre-doctoral pathway. Cronbach's Alpha evaluation demonstrated good reliability (α > 0.70) for all five factors. This sample was deemed moderately sufficient (KMO = 0.579), and the items were loaded onto the five factors with all items' factor loadings > 0.5 through principal component analysis.
DAWNMAHP is a novel, reliable tool that measures the impact of writing group interventions on an individual writer's development concerning time management, the writing process, identity, social domains, and relational agency.
Conducting pre- and post-writing group intervention tests and recruiting larger sample sizes is essential to further developing DAWNMAHP. It is a rigorous tool for researching the benefits of writing group interventions. Furthermore, DAWNMAHP is an effective assessment and measurement tool, making a novel contribution to research into doctoral education.
No patient or public involvement was necessary at the validation stage of the DAWNMAHP tool.
To explore the implementation contexts and strategies that influence the uptake and selection of alternative peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) materials and design.
Qualitative evaluation of end user perspectives within a randomized control trial of different PICC materials and design.
Semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders were undertaken via an adapted, rapid-analytic approach using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Outcomes were mapped against the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) tool for strategies to guide innovation in PICC practice.
Participants (n = 23) represented a combination of users and inserters/purchasers, from adult and paediatric settings. Dominant themes included intervention characteristics (intervention source), inner setting (structural characteristics) and individuals involved (self-efficacy). Strategies emerging to support a change from ERIC mapping (n = 16) included promotion of intervention adaptability, inclusion of staff and consumer perspectives and sufficient funding. Implementation contexts such as inner setting and individuals involved equally impacted PICC success and implementation effectiveness and enabled a greater understanding of barriers and facilitators to intervention implementation in this trial.
Trial evidence is important, but healthcare decision-making requires consideration of local contexts especially resourcing. Implementation contexts for Australian healthcare settings include a practical, strategic toolkit for the implementation of alternative PICC materials and designs.

Head and neck cancer (HNC) affects the mouth, throat, salivary glands, voice box, nose or sinuses. Every year, over 12 000 people in the UK are diagnosed with HNC. Neck dissection is a key, surgical component of patient care. However, many people experience postoperative restriction in shoulder and neck movements, pain, fatigue and low mood, with only half ever returning to work.
Getting Recovery Right After Neck Dissection (GRRAND) is a two-arm, multicentre, pragmatic randomised controlled trial. The trial aims to compare clinical and cost-effectiveness of a personalised physiotherapy programme (GRRAND programme) versus usual practice, National Health Service (NHS), postdischarge care.
The planned sample size is 390 participants. Participants will be recruited from across UK sites and followed up for 12 months. The primary outcome is the shoulder pain and disability index at 12 months. Economic evaluation will be conducted from a healthcare system and personal social services perspective. Secondary outcome data, including pain, function, health-related quality of life, mental well-being, health resource use and adverse events, will be collected at 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months, with exercise adherence at 6 weeks. A process evaluation will determine how GRRAND is implemented, delivered and received across clinical settings, exploring what works, for whom and under what conditions. Analysis will be on an intention-to-treat basis and reported inline with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials statement.
The trial was approved by the London-Brent Research Ethics Committee (ref: 24/LO/0722) on 15 October 2024. Trial results will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications, presentations at national and international conferences, in lay summaries and social media. This protocol adheres to the recommended Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials checklist.
To explore how pre-existing conditions affect the diagnostic process for potential cancer in primary care patients.
Qualitative interview study using thematic analysis underpinned by a critical realist approach.
Primary care practices recruited through four Clinical Research Networks and UK health charities across England.
Interviews were conducted with 75 patients with one or more pre-existing conditions (anxiety/depression, diabetes, obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Parkinson’s disease or multiple long-term conditions (four or more)) and 28 primary care professionals (general practitioners and nurses).
The study identified legitimacy as a central theme influencing patient trajectories in the health system while trying to receive a diagnosis for symptoms with which they presented to primary care. Patients engaged in self-triage to determine whether symptoms were ‘legitimate’ enough to seek care. Subsequent triaging steps (by receptionists, nurses and online systems) acted as gatekeepers, with decisions influenced by effectiveness of describing the symptom and subjective impressions. During consultations, clinicians relied on a mix of symptom narrative clarity, medical history and objective ‘metrics’ (eg, blood results, family history) to determine legitimacy for further investigations. Pre-existing conditions could either lower the threshold for referrals or obscure potential cancer symptoms. The stigma associated with mental health diagnoses often undermined perceived legitimacy and contributed to delays.
Legitimacy is continuously negotiated throughout the diagnostic pathway. It is shaped by social, moral and biomedical judgements. To promote early cancer diagnosis for patients with pre-existing conditions, clinicians must make legitimacy assessments explicit, reduce stigma especially around mental health and standardise triage processes.
Self-harm and suicide are common among prison inmates, but less is known about these phenomena in those with psychosis.
The aim of this study was to examine self-harm behaviour in New South Wales (NSW) prisons in Australia among inmates diagnosed with psychosis. This study also examined self-harm-related alerts applied by Corrective Services to assist staff with the management of the security and well-being of inmates.
A retrospective case-control data-linkage study was conducted using administrative data collections in NSW, Australia.
The study included all individuals diagnosed with psychosis and incarcerated between 2001 and 2020 in NSW as cases and an age and sex matched control group with no such diagnosis with a record of incarceration in the same time period.
The primary outcome measure was self-harm among the cases and controls. The secondary outcome measure was the application of alerts by Corrective Services in relation to self-harm incidents.
Multivariate regression analysis was used to examine predictors of self-harm in prison. Prisoners with psychosis (n=14 900) were more likely to self-harm than controls (n=2713), with 15.0% versus 3.6% engaging in self-harm (highest odds of self-harm observed in those with schizophrenia and related psychoses, aOR=4.84, 95% CI: 3.93 to 5.98). Those of Aboriginal heritage had an increased risk of self-harm (aOR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.43 to 1.75). Factors associated with a lower risk of self-harm were male sex and older age (≥25 years) at the time of their first incarceration. 35.6% of those released from prison with a prior psychosis diagnosis had at least one alert applied during incarceration compared with 10.1% of prisoners without a diagnosis of psychosis. Overall, 35 individuals with psychosis and 1 individual from the control group died while in prison between 2001 and 2020. 17 prison suicides were recorded from the study population; all occurred in the psychosis group.
Given the heightened risk of self-harm in those with histories of psychosis, consideration should be given to sharing mental health information between agencies to improve the care and management of this group during incarceration. Prison alerts may be a useful tool to help staff manage inmates’ well-being if used appropriately.
To investigate the scalability of the multi-component Falls After Stroke Trial (FAST) intervention tailored to community-dwelling adults with stroke to enable post-trial implementation.
A mixed-methods formative evaluation of FAST data guided by the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework.
Community settings across three states in Australia.
Stroke participants were a subset of FAST trial participants (n=50) who were community-dwelling adults who had experienced a stroke up to 5 years prior and were at risk of falling. Therapists who delivered the intervention in the trial (interventionists) were physiotherapists and occupational therapists, trained in the FAST intervention.
The FAST intervention is an individually tailored home safety and functional exercise programme designed to reduce falls and improve community mobility. It is offered over a 6-month period using 10 home visits, two telephone calls and programme resources, for example, manual and worksheets.
Trial data, including interventionist training records and delivery data, resources and stroke participants’ adherence data were used to assess the Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance dimensions of the RE-AIM framework.
The FAST intervention was delivered by 22 interventionists. High implementation fidelity was shown with 90% of the stroke participants receiving FAST dose and content. Effective strategies supporting implementation included standardised programme resources, comprehensive pre-programme training, regular interventionist feedback and interventionist mentoring from experts. Online training and peer support networks will be required for scale up.
This study identifies how a complex intervention to prevent falls after stroke was successfully delivered. The AIM dimensions provided insights to FAST features essential for scale-up. Interventionist training, resources and mentoring/feedback were essential for adoption within the trial. Training and resources should be accessible in an online format for scale up (maintenance).

The number of people living with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs or ‘multimorbidity’) is growing. Evidence indicates that exercise-based rehabilitation can improve health-related quality of life and reduce hospital admissions for a number of single long-term conditions. However, it is increasingly recognised that such condition-focused rehabilitation programmes do not meet the needs of people living with MLTCs. The aims for this study were to (1) evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of the newly developed Personalised Exercise Rehabilitation FOR people with Multiple long-term conditions (PERFORM) intervention; (2) assess the feasibility of study methods to inform progression to a definitive randomised controlled trial (RCT) and (3) refine our intervention programme theory.
Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with patients receiving and healthcare practitioners delivering the PERFORM intervention, to seek their experiences of the intervention and taking part in the study. Interviews were analysed thematically, informed by Normalisation Process Theory and the programme theory.
Three UK sites (two acute hospital settings, one community-based healthcare setting).
18 of the 60 PERFORM participants and 6 healthcare professionals were interviewed.
The intervention consisted of 8 weeks of supervised group-based exercise rehabilitation and structured self-care symptom-based support.
All participants and staff interviewed found PERFORM useful for physical and mental well-being and noted positive impacts of participation, although some specific modifications to the intervention delivery and training and study methods were identified. Scheduling, staffing and space limitations were barriers that must be considered for future evaluation and implementation. Key intervention mechanisms identified were social support, patient education, building routines and habits, as well as support from healthcare professionals.
We found the PERFORM intervention to be acceptable and feasible, with the potential to improve the health and well-being of people with MLTCs. The findings of the process evaluation inform the future delivery of the PERFORM intervention and the design of our planned full RCT. A definitive trial is needed to assess the clinical and cost-effectiveness.
Existing exercise-based rehabilitation services, such as cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, are traditionally commissioned around single long-term conditions (LTCs) and therefore may not meet the complex needs of adults with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) or multimorbidity. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the newly developed personalised exercise-rehabilitation programme for people with multiple long-term conditions (PERFORM) and the trial methods.
A parallel two-group mixed-methods feasibility randomised controlled trial (RCT) with embedded process and economic evaluation.
Three UK sites (two acute hospital settings, one community-based healthcare setting).
60 adults with MLTCs (defined as the presence of ≥2 LTCs) with at least one known to benefit from exercise therapy were randomised 2:1 to PERFORM intervention plus usual care (PERFORM group) or usual care alone (control group).
The intervention consisted of 8 weeks of supervised group-based exercise rehabilitation and structured self-care symptom-based support.
Primary feasibility outcomes included: trial recruitment (percentage of a target of 60 participants recruited within 4.5 months), retention (percentage of participants with complete EuroQol data at 3 months) and intervention adherence (percentage of intervention group attending ≥60% sessions). Other feasibility measures included completion of outcome measures at baseline (pre-randomisation), 3 months post-randomisation (including patient-reported outcomes, exercise capacity and collection of health and social care resource use) and intervention fidelity.
Target recruitment (40 PERFORM group, 20 control group) was met within the timeframe. Participants were 57% women with a mean (SD) age of 62 (13) years, body mass index of 30.8 (8.0) kg/m2 and a median of 4 LTCs (most common: diabetes (41.7%), hypertension (38.3%), asthma (36.7%) and a painful condition (35.0%)). We achieved EuroQol outcome retention of 76.7% (95% CI: 65.9% to 87.1%; 46/60 participants) and intervention adherence of 72.5% (95% CI: 56.3% to 84.4%; 29/40 participants). Data completion for attendees was over 90% for 11/18 outcome measures.
Our findings support the feasibility and rationale for delivering the PERFORM comprehensive self-management and exercise-based rehabilitation intervention for people living with MLTCs and progression to a full multicentre RCT to formally assess clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.
The original jigsaw strategy is a cooperative learning technique that involves small groups of participants working together on a particular task that was initially designed to promote academic performance and foster positive social relations among students across diverse classroom settings. Jigsaw emphasizes teamwork by facilitating collaboration among students or participants to accomplish tasks. It is an efficient and time-saving approach that is particularly applicable when there is a lot of information to review and each individual does not need to learn every detail of the topic.
To develop a strategy to advance EBP in healthcare organizations and build individuals' competence and confidence in the EBP process.
The jigsaw approach was modified to advance evidence-based practice (EBP) through the creation of the “Jigsaw Journal Club for EBP” (JJC-EBP).
The JJC-EBP strategy/approach enhances efforts to advance EBP work in organizations by expediting the critical appraisal step of the EBP process. This strategy/approach also promotes clinician participation in EBP by creating a collaborative approach to several steps of EBP methodology. In addition, this strategy/approach helps individual clinicians build their competence and confidence in several steps of EBP methodology as well.
EBP can be advanced in healthcare organizations through implementation of the Jigsaw journal club strategy. Clinicians can build their EBP competence and confidence through participation in a Jigsaw journal club activity.
Background
In the United States, Black adults have the highest prevalence of obesity and hypertension, increasing their risk of morbidity and mortality. Caregivers of persons with dementia are also at increased risk of morbidity and mortality due to the demands of providing care. Thus, Black caregivers—who are the second largest group of caregivers of persons with dementia in the United States—have the highest risks for poor health outcomes among all caregivers. However, the physiological changes associated with multiple chronic conditions in Black caregivers are poorly understood.
Objectives
In this study, metabolomics were compared to the metabolic profiles of Black caregivers with obesity, with or without hypertension. Our goal was to identify metabolites and metabolic pathways that could be targeted to reduce obesity and hypertension rates in this group.
Methods
High-resolution, untargeted metabolomic assays were performed on plasma samples from 26 self-identified Black caregivers with obesity, 18 of whom had hypertension. Logistic regression and pathway analyses were employed to identify metabolites and metabolic pathways differentiating caregivers with obesity only and caregivers with both obesity and hypertension.
Results
Key metabolic pathways discriminating caregivers with obesity only and caregivers with obesity and hypertension were butanoate and glutamate metabolism, fatty acid activation/biosynthesis, and the carnitine shuttle pathway. Metabolites related to glutamate metabolism in the butanoate metabolism pathway were more abundant in caregivers with hypertension, while metabolites identified as butyric acid/butanoate and R-(3)-hydroxybutanoate were less abundant. Caregivers with hypertension also had lower levels of several unsaturated fatty acids.
Discussion
In Black caregivers with obesity, multiple metabolic features and pathways differentiated among caregivers with and without hypertension. If confirmed in future studies, these findings would support ongoing clinical monitoring and culturally tailored interventions focused on nutrition (particularly polyunsaturated fats and animal protein), exercise, and stress management to reduce the risk of hypertension in Black caregivers with obesity. Background
A healthy nursing workforce is vital to ensuring that patients are provided quality care. Assessing nurses' well-being and related factors requires routine evaluations from health system leaders that leverage brief psychometrically sound measures. To date, measures used to assess nurses' well-being have primarily been psychometrically tested among other clinicians or nurses working in specific clinical practice settings rather than in large, representative, heterogeneous samples of nurses.
Objectives
This study aimed to psychometrically test measures frequently used to evaluate factors linked to nurse well-being in a heterogeneous sample of nurses within a large academic health system.
Methods
This cross-sectional, survey-based study used a convenience sample of nurses working across acute care practice settings. A total of 177 nurses completed measures, which included the Professional Quality of Life, the short form of the Professional Quality of Life measure, the two-item Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, the five-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index, the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale, and the single-item Mini-Z. Internal reliability and convergent validity were assessed for each measure.
Results
All the measures were found to be reliable. Brief measures used to assess domains of well-being demonstrated validity with longer measures, as evident by significant correlation coefficients.
Discussion
This study provides support for the reliability and validity of measures commonly used to assess well-being in a diverse sample of nurses working across acute care settings. Data from routine assessments of the nursing workforce hold the potential to guide the implementation and evaluation of interventions capable of promoting workplace well-being. Assessments should include psychometrically sound, low-burden measures, such as those evaluated in this study.
