Views and experiences of healthcare practitioners supporting people with COPD who have used activity monitors: “More than just steps”
Wilde, L. J., Percy, C., Clark C., Ward, G., Wark, P.A., & Sewell, L. (2023). Respiratory Medicine. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rmed.2023.107395
Abstract: Activity monitors (apps and wearables) are increasingly used by the general population, including people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). There is potential for activity monitors to support increases in physical activity for people with COPD and healthcare practitioners (HCPs) are likely to be key in supporting their use, but little is currently known about HCPs' views or experiences...

Abstract: Malawi has a substantial burden of chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) which cause significant morbidity and loss of economic productivity, affecting patients, families and health systems. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a highly recommended non-pharmacological intervention in the clinical management of people with CRDs...

DOI: 10.1038/s41746-019-0163-4
Abstract: This paper illustrates a rigorous approach to developing digital interventions using an evidence-, theory- and person-based approach. Intervention planning included a rapid scoping review which identified cancer survivors’ needs, including barriers and facilitators to intervention success...
Renewed: Protocol for a randomised controlled trial of a digital intervention to support quality of life in cancer survivors
Krusche, A., Bradbury, K., Corbett, T., Barnett, J., Stuart, B., Yao G.L., Bacon, R., Böhning, D., Cheetham, T., Eccles, D., Foster, C., Geraghty, A.W.A., Leydon, G., Müller, A., Neal, R., Osborne, R., Rathod, S., Richardson, A., Sharman, G., Summers, K., Watson, E., Wilde, L., Wilkinson, C., Yardley, L., & Little, P. (2019).
DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2018-024862

Corbett, T., Cheetham, T., Müller, A. M., Slodkowska-Barabasz, J., Wilde, L. J., Krusche, A., Richardson, A., Foster, C. L., Watson, E., Little, P., Yardley, L., & Bradbury, K. (2018). Psycho-Oncology.
DOI: 10.1002/pon.4732
Abstract: Objective Physical activity (PA) and a healthy diet can improve the well-being of cancer survivors. However, cancer survivors often do not engage in these behaviours. This study aimed to explore barriers and facilitators to engaging in these behaviours following cancer treatment. Methods During the development of a web-based intervention to enhance health-related quality of life in cancer survivors, 32 people who had...
Combined cognitive biases for pain and disability information in individuals with chronic headache: A preliminary investigation
Schoth, D. E., Parry, L., & Liossi, C. (2016). Journal of Health Psychology.
DOI: 10.1177/1359105316664136
Pain-related cognitive biases have been demonstrated in chronic pain patients, yet despite theoretical predictions are rarely investigated in combination. Combined cognitive biases were explored in individuals with chronic headache (n = 17) and pain-free controls (n = 20). Participants completed spatial cueing (attentional bias), sentence generation (interpretation bias) and free recall tasks (memory bias), with ambiguous sensory-pain, disability and neutral words. ...

Bradbury, K., Al-Abbadey, M., Carnes, D., Dimitrov, B. D., Eardley, S., Fawkes, C., Foster, J., Greville-Harris, M., Harvey, J. M., Leach, J., Lewith, G., MacPherson, H., Roberts, L., Parry, L., Yardley, L., & Bishop, F. L. (2016) , BMJ open, 6:e012209. DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2016-012209
Components other than the active ingredients of treatment can have substantial effects on pain and disability. Such ‘non-specific’ components include: the therapeutic relationship, the healthcare environment, incidental treatment characteristics, patients’ beliefs and practitioners’ beliefs. This study aims to: identify the most powerful non-specific treatment components for low back pain (LBP), compare their effects on...
