Purpose Despite wide acknowledgement of differences in levels of support and health outcomes between urban and rural areas, there is a lack of research that explicitly examines these differences in relation to self-management in people affected by cancer following treatment. This scoping review aimed to map the existing literature that examines self-management in people affected…Continue Reading What is known about the role of rural-urban residency in relation to self-management in people affected by cancer who have completed primary treatment?

Of interest in the present study is the consistent finding that games with higher event frequencies are preferred by problem gamblers and are associated with more negative gambling outcomes, such…Continue Reading The Relationship Between Gambling Event Frequency, Motor Response Inhibition, Arousal, and Dissociative Experience
The role of spatial selective attention in the processing of affective prosodies in congenitally blind adults: An ERP study
The question whether spatial selective attention is necessary in order to process vocal affective prosody has been controversially discussed in sighted individuals: whereas some studies argue that attention is required in order to process emotions, other studies conclude that vocal prosody can be processed even outside the focus of spatial selective attention. Here, we asked…Continue Reading The role of spatial selective attention in the processing of affective prosodies in congenitally blind adults: An ERP study
Challenges of recruiting emergency department patients to a qualitative study: a thematic analysis of researchers’ experiences
At times of increasing pressure on emergency departments, and the need for research into different models of service delivery, little is known about how to recruit patients for qualitative research in emergency departments. We report from one study which aimed to collect evidence on patients’ experiences of attending emergency departments with different models of using…Continue Reading Challenges of recruiting emergency department patients to a qualitative study: a thematic analysis of researchers’ experiences
