Abstract:

By introducing psychological theories into entrepreneurship research field, this thesis aims to investigate the relationship between self-employment and workplace wellbeing. The thesis consists of three empirical studies, which set out to answer the followingquestions: 1) What are the differences of workplace wellbeing between the self-employed and employees? 2) What factors contribute to workplace wellbeing in both direct and indirect ways? 3) What is the relationship between negative workplace wellbeing and positive wellbeing, 4) How does coping mechanism reduce negative workplace wellbeing

Abstract:

National policies (DoH, 2008; 2011) propose a clear role for GPs in responding to the increase in childhood obesity, despite a limited evidence base which would secure such an emphasis. Previous research has indicated multiple barriers to the engagement of GPs in this clinical activity due to the sensitivities of the subject, low levels of role competence and confidence and limited access to specialist services. Using interpretive phenomenological analysis, this study explored how GPs made sense of their experiences of identifying and managing childhood obesity in order to provide a unique ins

Abstract:

Healthcare staff wellbeing and burnout have been fairly consistently found to be associated with patient safety outcomes (Hall et al. 2016; Salyers et al. 2016; Welp and Manser 2016). However, the research to date has been unable to determine a) whether burnout or wellbeing is more strongly linked to patient safety outcomes and b) whether these associations are evident within general practice. Furthermore, there is limited research on the temporal nature of these associations. This thesis aimed to fill these gaps in knowledge and additionally to determine whether specific occupational factors

Abstract:

This study investigated the social and psychological impact on girls of playing competitive football and explored whether football is associated with their mental wellbeing. Football was identified as an appropriate focus for exploring the link between sport and wellbeing because of its status as the UK’s national sport and its role in gender socialisation processes. The study also explored the barriers to girls’ participation in football and discusses these findings in relation to gender/structural inequalities. The study contributes new knowledge about girls’ agency, desires, resilience and

Abstract:

This thesis presents the development and testing of an online lovingkindness meditation (LKM) intervention. Previous studies were systematically reviewed, showing complex but encouraging evidence that LKM can enhance the wellbeing of individuals and communities by promoting pleasant emotions and empathic attitudes. However, previous randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are small and have methodological limitations. An online RCT was conducted, which recruited 809 adult volunteers to test whether an LKM intervention offered to the general population improves wellbeing through pleasant emotions,

This research was undertaken to explore and explain the contexts and mechanisms influencing full-time class teachers’ emotional wellbeing (EWB) in a primary school rated ‘outstanding’ by the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted). Despite being associated with issues high on the national agenda including pupil wellbeing, pupil performance, teacher retention and teacher recruitment, the wellbeing of school staff is a cause for concern calling for supportive and positive measures.

Abstract:

Therapeutic footwear is provided to patients with the primary aims of reducing foot pain and improving foot health. Therefore, it is of concern that patients choose not to wear it. This choice has been attributed to its poor appearance. However, there may be other reasons for this choice and the reasons may be more complex than previously acknowledged. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the users’ experiences of this footwear. In the context of this study the ‘users’ are women with rheumatoid arthritis.

A novel osteopathic treatment has been discovered during the clinical practice of the author which alleviates many of the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) known in the UK as CFS/ME. The efficacy of this manual approach was tested using two separate clinical trials. The first examined the change in the symptoms following a year of treatment. The second repeated the first study and examined the possible mechanisms of the improvement.

Abstract:

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from waste and transportation are of environmental concern. Globally, every year, waste contributes an estimated 5% and transport approximately 23% of the total anthropogenic GHG emissions. Sport contributes to GHG emissions by spectators and participants travelling to/from sporting venues and generating waste. Whilst a small reduction in an individual’s travel and waste may be perceived as having negligible impact, if these are aggregated over a population, the resultant GHG emissions can be significant.

Abstract:

The ways in which individuals cope with stress has been the subject of much psychological research. Traditionally, coping has been understood as either a disposition, implying stability of individual coping style across situations, or as a process involving individual appraisal of situations and resources, leading to use of a variety of coping strategies. There is considerable evidence of maladaptive psychological and physical health outcomes in relation to different coping styles. More recent research suggests that flexibility in choice of coping response may be more adaptive than any particu

Occupational stress (OS) presents a significant threat to teachers’ wellbeing. High levels of OS can impact multiple areas, including teachers’ health, job-performance, schools’ financial resources, and pupils’ wellbeing. Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) play a critical role in coordinating provision for pupils with special educational needs, and represent a group that have received little research attention in relation to OS and wellbeing.

The model is derived from empirical data collected in four intensive care sites in England and Denmark, with one site being used to validate the model.
