Abstract:
There is extensive research detailing the strong link between healthcare professional wellbeing and the delivery of dignified, safe patient care. While a career as a psychological practitioner is often perceived as fulfilling, it is thought to also generate professional and personal strains which may impact on wellbeing. Paper 1 presents a systematic review examining the prevalence of burnout among practitioner psychologists and the relationship between burnout and specific personal demographic and work-related variables: age, years in service, working hours, gender and work setting.

Chapter one systematically reviews the literature on the psychological impact of breastfeeding on mothers. Whilst breastfeeding is indicated as the superior feeding choice for infants, the full impact on mothers is under-reported. Results show that breastfeeding and weaning have a varied psychological impact on maternal wellbeing, identity and perceptions of role. Where incompatibilities between mothers‟ expectations and lived experiences occur, or where disagreement between self and others is perceived, dissonance, distress and division result.

Research shows that the integration of physical and mental healthcare in paediatric settings is beneficial in terms of clinical and cost effectiveness (Kahana, Drotar, & Frazier, 2008; Douglas & Benson 2008, Griffin & Christie, 2008). Due to the high rates of mental health problems within this population, several studies have shown that referral to paediatric psychology should be increased (e.g. Wagner & Smith, 2007). However, there are few studies investigating factors influencing healthcare professionals’ referral behaviour. The current study used theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1988; 19

Previous research into the psychological impact of miscarriage has taken a pathogenic approach, with limited research examining the factors that relate to enhanced psychological wellbeing. As a result, it is difficult to understand what predicts lower anxiety, depression and higher wellbeing. In order to address such gaps this study employed mixed methods, using a salutogenic perspective to investigate the effects of miscarriage on women's psychological wellbeing and to identify factors related to enhanced psychological wellbeing over time.

Abstract:
Background: Dental schools are recognised to be highly demanding and stressful learning environments. Studies which have examined stress and psychological wellbeing of students within the dental undergraduate environment have, for the last four decades, focused on negative measures of psychological wellbeing. In addition, these studies have been exclusively targeted at dental students; and therefore, ignored the education of other dental professionals. Aims: The aim of this programme of studies was to explore our understanding of stress and positive psychological wellbeing of dental hygiene an

Abstract:
Literature review: The present study is a systematic literature review of findings from 16 studies investigating the quality of life of adults with an intellectual disability. It was concluded that those with intellectual disability experience a lower quality of life than other groups. The interrater reliability between self-reports and proxy reports were found to be fair. However, proxies were found to consistently underestimate quality of life for individuals with intellectual disability, and physical wellbeing was identified as a problematic domain for agreement between self-report and prox

Abstract:
This study concerns carers and their expectations of their spouses' functional recovery and the burden of caring post stroke. Many studies have demonstrated that carers experience high levels of burden and psychological distress 12 months past stroke. However, to date carers' expectations and the potential drivers of these expectations have not been explored. Furthermore, the evidence indicates that the focus of the support provided by professionals has been on the person that has had the stroke rather than on the carer. Previous research has also not explored reasons for variation in depresse
