Although obesity is known to pose significant health risks, the prevalence has recently increased rapidly, with almost one fifth of women obese in 1996.

However, since there is some evidence to suggest that a proportion of intercountry adoptees are at greater risk of developing mental health difficulties (Van Ijzendoorn & Juffer, 2006) further research, particularly in the UK, is required.

Abstract:
The mobility of diplomats represents an important facet of today's migration flows. This diplomatic minority has become diverse and numerous as a result of increased international assignments and career mobility becoming a necessity. Notably, diplomatic mobility has been found to have an impact on family arrangements and partner's working life and future plans. However, despite being one of the earliest forms of expatriation, very little is known about the experiences of spouses of diplomats who decided to embark on this journey alongside their husbands. Consequently, this study is interested

Literature Review: Qualitative evidence of the experience of doctors in training encountering clinical errors was synthesised following a systematic literature search. A meta-ethnographic approach to metasynthesis was used to develop two third order themes which were novel to the existent literature; i) in error trainees revealed as being betwixt and between and; ii) professional assimilation at a cost. These findings captured the psychological and emotional experience of error as being situated within a wider context of medical culture and learning for participants as they acclimatized and in

Abstract:
Many primary school teachers experience disruptive behaviour from their pupils. This can lead teachers to feel intense unpleasant emotions and affect teacher effectiveness, motivation and job satisfaction. This in turn impacts on quality ofteaching and can have a negative impact on the child's social and academic development. In the present study, ten primary school teachers were interviewed about their experiences and understanding of disruptive behaviour. These were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Five superordinate themes were identified, one of which is repor

Abstract:
Exercises and physical activities can potentially prevent or delay the onset of different mental health difficulties such as anxiety, affective, eating, and substance use disorders, as well as schizophrenia, dementia and mild cognitive impairment. In the field of addiction, the idea of exercise being adjunct to substance misuse treatment has been promoted. There has been limited research on the psychological benefits of climbing and specifically on the ways in which an outdoor recreational activity and exercise such as climbing may promote recovery from substance dependence.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation explores the lived experience of traumatic bereavement in adults between the ages of 21 and 50. The term traumatic bereavement refers to a specific type of bereavement where the loss is unexpected (without forewarning), untimely, and often (but not always) associated with horrific or frightening circumstances. The study sought to identify common existential themes underlying the experience, and therefore did not restrict itself to investigating a particular mode of death. A total of 7 traumatically bereaved individuals (6 females and 1 male) were interviewed using semi-struct

Abstract:
The aim of this study has been to uncover and analyse undergraduate primary education trainees' experience of being summatively assessed in their academic work. The ultimate purpose of the study, therefore, is to identify implications for my professional practice, as a university tutor, derived from an understanding of how undergraduates experience the assessment process. The study is framed by a consideration of current and past thinking on assessment and its purpose in higher education. The stated purposes of assessment are explored within the context of the contemporary culture of 'performa
