Data set - Immersive virtual reality rehabilitation after lower limb surgery in paediatric patients
No full textPatients who have undergone lower limb surgery require rehabilitation to regain movement and function in the affected leg. Unfortunately, physical rehabilitation can be painful, reducing compliance and recovery. This feasibility study aimed to demonstrate that immersive virtual reality (IVR) applications can offer potential benefits, including reduced anxiety and pain distraction for children during gait rehabilitation, increased engagement and enjoyment, and improved perceived walking quality.
This study involved the design of a bespoke immersive virtual reality (IVR) system, co-designed through an iterative process that included a workshop. After a clinical feasibility trial was performed with 15 children aged 11–16 who required weight-bearing rehabilitation following lower limb surgery. A mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) approach and a multidirectional perspective (patients, parents, and physiotherapists) were adopted to measure. Changes in anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder-7) and pain (visual analogue scale) before and after the intervention were assessed. Usability (SUS) of the system was also analysed. Qualitative data were collected through interviews with children, their parents, and physiotherapists, focusing on their experiences, satisfaction, perceived effectiveness, and acceptability, as well as the usability and engagement of the IVR intervention.
These preliminary results will inform improvements to the system in a future multi-site study with a large calculated
sample size to demonstrate its clinical effectiveness and safety in acquiring medical device markings and adoption
How much K is oK? – Evaluating different methods for K-concentration determination and the effect of the internal K-concentration on feldspar luminescence dating
No full textThis dataset accompanies a manuscript on Potassium (K) concentration determination for feldspar luminescence dating, currently under review at the journal Geochronology. It includes sample-specific K-concentrations measured using both a β-counter and a WDXRF instrument. In addition, single-grain K-concentrations were obtained through SEM-EDX and µ-XRF analyses. The dataset also provides background-corrected Tn signals from a dose recovery test, conducted on the same individual grains used for K-concentration measurements. For further details on the analytical procedures and luminescence measurements, see: https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2025-80
Using Photo-Elicitation to see the Bigger Picture: A Longitudinal Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Male Football Coaches’ Well-Being Experiences
No full textChapter 5 is a combined longitudinal interpretative phenomenological analysis (LIPA) and photo-elicitation approach conducted with seven male football coaches across an entire football season. The study aimed to explore how football coaches temporally experience and make sense of well-being using auto-driven photo-elicitation. The study builds upon both those in Chapters 3 and 4 as it was acknowledged that well-being is not a static state but fluctuates in relation to proximal processes over time. Therefore, it was evident that a longitudinal exploration of well-being was necessary to capture the temporal fluctuations and changing experiences over time. Moreover, it was identified in Chapter 3 that some coaches struggled to explain their well-being and what it is, hence why an auto-driven photo-elicitation approach was employed to empower the participants and to enrich sensemaking endeavours. Findings resulted in the creation of three group experiential themes (GETs): ‘Striving to be present and true to self’; ‘Well-being sensemaking and experiences shaped by time’; and ‘Navigating the (in)stability of football, coaching and life’. All the GETs comprise of relevant subthemes which go into rich experiential detail on specific factors that influenced well-being states. The chapter communicates that ‘third spaces’, authenticity, sociohistorical events, and familial interactions shape well-being experiences over time
Revitalising placement preparation and employability content in level 5 BSc Mathematics
No full textA student-led employability audit of the BSc (Hons) Mathematics course was conducted in 2016/17, with input from current students, alumni and employers, resulting in a detailed report.
Two Student Researchers with recent experience of placement recruitment worked with the staff team (Level 5 Year Tutor, Course Leader, Placement Tutor, Module Leader and Subject Group Leader) to evaluate the current content and teaching arrangements on the module in light of the audit recommendations, and helped develop new content for delivery in 2018/19
Nutrition in Care Homes Report: in collaboration with, and funded by the Collaborative Older Adults Research Network.
No full textThis research was produced in collaboration with, and funded by the Collaborative Older Adults Research Network (COARN). The COARN was created by a group of multidisciplinary researchers from Sheffield Hallam University who wanted to develop a ‘Levelling Up’ research agenda for older adults, designed and developed by older adults and their key stakeholders throughout the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield). The aim was to find out what is important to older adults and also expand the network of stakeholders working with, advocating for, and supporting older adults, or those with lived experience within the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA).
For this specific research project, the COARN worked in conjunction with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council who run The Barnsley Adult Social Care transformation programme called the Better Lives Programme (2021-2024)
Debriefing Days for Student Nurses
No full textWe undertook a study to evaluate co-consulting as a structured approach to practice placement reflection days for final year student nurses. The broad aim of the activity was to provide student nurses with an opportunity to attend a peer-support session where they came together to share any challenges they might have faced during the placement element of their course, and to critically explore problems they may have been experiencing. The study was underpinned by a critical pedagogical approach, whereby individuals are encouraged to reflect on a challenging situation(s) and work together to come to conclusions in a supportive way (Mezirow, 2000; Freire, 1993)
