A qualitative study assessing the barriers and facilitators to physical activity in adults with hearing loss
CONCLUSIONS: Middle-aged and older adults with hearing loss experience hearing-specific barriers to physical activity, which has a deleterious impact on their overall health and well-being. Interventions and public health programmes need to be tailored to account for these additional barriers. Further research is necessary to test potential behaviour change techniques.PMID:37658583 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12689 (Source: British Journal of Health Psychology)

"Knowing that I had HPV, I literally just shut down": A qualitative exploration of the psychosocial impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) in women living with mental health conditions
CONCLUSIONS: Receiving an HPV-positive result at cervical screening appears to be a distressing experience for women with co-morbid mental health conditions. Future hypothesis-driven research is needed to confirm findings and develop effective interventions to reduce psychosocial burden.PMID:37658582 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12688 (Source: British Journal of Health Psychology)

Do I care for you more when you really need help? An experimental test of the effect of clinical urgency on compassion in health care
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first work to experimentally test the relationship between the urgency of patient presentation and compassion in health care. Although the association between urgency and difficulty is complex, our findings are consonant with evolutionary views in which urgent distress elicits greater compassion. A system-wide orientation towards efficiency and urgency may exacerbate this 'bias' which must be addressed to ensure more equitable compassion in health care.PMID:37648902 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12687 (Source: British Journal of Health Psychology)
