Chronic back pain is common, and its self‐management may be a lifelong task for many patients. While health professionals can provide a service or support for pain, only patients can actually experience it. It is likely that optimum self‐management of chronic back pain may only be achieved when patients and professionals develop effective partnerships which integrate their complementary knowledge...

Dawn Dowding, Valentina Lichtner, Nick Allcock, Michelle Briggs, more

International Journal of Nursing Studies > 2016 > 53 > Complete > 152-162

The recognition, assessment and management of pain in hospital settings is suboptimal, and is a particular challenge in patients with dementia. The existing process guiding pain assessment and management in clinical settings is based on the assumption that nurses follow a sequential linear approach to decision making. In this paper we re-evaluate this theoretical assumption drawing on findings from...

Muhammad Abdul Hadi, David Phillip Alldred, S José Closs, Michelle Briggs

International Journal of Pharmacy Practice > 22 > 1 > 96 - 100

This is the second of two papers that explore the use of mixed‐methods research in pharmacy practice. This paper discusses the rationale, applications, limitations and challenges of conducting mixed‐methods research. As with other research methods, the choice of mixed‐methods should always be justified because not all research questions require a mixed‐methods approach. Mixed‐methods research is particularly...
