Content ArticleHealth-compromising behaviours such as cigarette smoking and poor dietary habits are difficult to change. Most social-cognitive theories assume that the intention to change is the best predictor of actual change, but people often do not behave in accordance with their intentions. Unforeseen barriers emerge, or people give in to temptations. Therefore, intentions should be supplemented by more proximal predictors that might facilitate the translation of intentions into action. Some self-regulatory mediators have been identified, such as perceived self-efficacy and strategic planning. They help to bridge the intention-behavior gap. The Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) suggests a distinction between (1) a preintentional motivation process that leads to a behavioural intention and (2) a postintentional volition process that facilitates the adoption and maintenance of health behaviours. In this article, two studies are reported that examine mediators between intentions and two behaviours. One behaviour is smoking reduction in young adults, the other is dietary restraint in overweight patients with chronic disease. A structural equation model, specified in terms of the HAPA, was in line with both data sets but it explained more variance of dietary behaviours among middle-aged or older individuals with a health condition whereas variance of smoking reduction in healthy young adults was less well accounted for. The findings contribute to the elucidation of psychological mechanisms in health behaviour change and point to the particular role of mediator variables.

Content ArticleHuge issues are facing the UK’s medical workforce: angst among staff, battles for training opportunities, a lack of basic amenities, discrimination, shortages of posts, roles with no career progression, and a failure to support workers asking for pay reviews. In this BMJ opinion piece, Partha Kar says we need fresh leadership to lead basic changes with support from the royal colleges and unions, and other external organisations need to step up now.

Why everyone needs a coach - Atul Gawande (TED2017)
Patient Safety Learning posted an article in Motivating staff
How do we improve in the face of complexity? Atul Gawande has studied this question with a surgeon's precision. He shares what he's found to be the key: having a good coach to provide a more accurate picture of our reality, to instill positive habits of thinking, and to break our actions down and then help us build them back up again. "It's not how good you are now; it's how good you're going to be that really matters," Gawande says.- Posted

15 seconds, 30 minutes: Creating joy in work
Patient Safety Learning posted an article in Good practice
15 seconds 30 minutes (or 15s30m for short) aims to help anyone identify how they could spend a few extra seconds on a task now which will save someone else 30 minutes or more later on. In doing so you will reduce frustration and increase joy. Joy in work has been proven to help staff to do their best and deliver safe and effective patient care. Improving joy is the key to retaining the workforce and reducing staff sickness. And who doesn’t want to enjoy coming to work every day! 15s30m is a change platform which individual staff or patients or whole organsiations can use to release the value in every idea. To get started you don’t need a charter or formal plan or programme initiation document: its just individuals being empowered to do what they know is right for staff and patients.- Posted

What is a whistleblower?
Hugh Wilkins posted an article in Whistle blowing
hub topic lead, Hugh Wilkins, explores attitudes towards and repercussions of whistleblowing, with emphasis on healthcare professionals who suffer retaliation after raising patient safety concerns. He draws attention to damaging discrepancies between written policy and actual procedure. Hugh urges all healthcare leaders to welcome the concerns that 'whistleblowers' raise in the public interest and respond positively to them, which would lead to substantial improvements in staff engagement, organisational culture, quality of care and patient safety. *Whilst much of the information in this article is referenced and in the public domain it is not legal advice.- Posted

Content ArticleThis article in The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety reports on the findings of a pilot programme to improve healthcare staff wellbeing. Between November 2018 and May 2020, researchers engaged five healthcare sites to take part in a pilot intervention. The pilot used evidence-based approaches to wellbeing including a comprehensive culture assessment, redesigning daily workflow and leadership and team development. The researchers found that healthcare worker wellbeing improved when: an integrated, skills-based approach was taken there was a focus on team culture, interactions and leadership workflows were redesigned to promote positive emotions. This study suggests that combining a number of these approaches at the same time can improve healthcare working environments and reduce levels of staff burnout.

Your Life In My Hands: a Junior Doctor's Story
Claire Cox posted an article in Recommended books and literature
'I am a junior doctor. It is 4 a.m. I have run arrest calls, treated life-threatening bleeding, held the hand of a young woman dying of cancer, scuttled down miles of dim corridors wanting to sob with sheer exhaustion, forgotten to eat, forgotten to drink, drawn on every fibre of strength that I possess to keep my patients safe from harm.' How does it feel to be spat out of medical school into a world of pain, loss and trauma that you feel wholly ill-equipped to handle? To be a medical novice who makes decisions which - if you get them wrong - might forever alter, or end, a person's life? To toughen up the hard way, through repeated exposure to life-and-death situations, until you are finally a match for them? In this heartfelt, deeply personal account of life as a junior doctor in today's health service, former television journalist turned doctor, Rachel Clarke, captures the extraordinary realities of ordinary life on the NHS front line. From the historic junior doctor strikes of 2016 to the 'humanitarian crisis' declared by the Red Cross, the overstretched health service is on the precipice, calling for junior doctors to draw on extraordinary reserves of what compelled them into medicine in the first place - and the value the NHS can least afford to lose - kindness.- Posted
