“…A critical realist perspective was taken to data analysis, which acknowledges that contextual factors, including culture, language and political interests, shape how reality is experienced and interpreted (Braun & Clarke, 2006. This approach recognizes that we can only partially access a participant's "reality", and that we need to claim that an "authentic" reality exists in order to create knowledge with practical applications (Stainton Rogers & Stainton Rogers, 1997). The coding strategy focused on the research aims, to explore and describe the understanding of concepts key to the delivery of CBT PMPS, including thoughts, beliefs, knowledge and self-care behaviours (e.g., physical activity).…”

Objective This research sought to explore the pain management beliefs of members of the South Asian community living in the UK. In particular, their understanding of the key components of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) informed pain management programmes (PMPs) was explored. Methods Snowball sampling was used to recruit 10 participants from a South Asian background for interview. Interviews were guided by a semi‐structured interview schedule and explored pain history, specific pain experiences, community member expressions of, and reactions to, pain, treatment expectations and perceptions of self‐management. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and subjected to descriptive thematic analysis. Results Four themes were developed: impacts of chronic pain, within‐group variations in responses to chronic pain, personal responsibility vs. paternalistic care, and the acceptability of pain management concepts (relaxation and meditation, exercise and physical activity, and thoughts and beliefs: the dangers of pain healers). Conclusions This work highlights how discourses around the impacts of chronic pain; beliefs about, and preferences for, approaches to care; and the acceptability of pain management concepts fit with existing PMP content. Recommendations are made regarding opportunities for social prescribing; consideration of the incorporation of acceptable forms of physical activity, including yoga and walking, within PMPs; and the potential benefit of highlighting role models and creating social opportunities for these activities. Some beliefs and practices in this area are under‐researched, and further work that explores gender and generational differences in pain perceptions, and the potential dangers of the use of pain healers is needed.

“…Q methodology allows for use of small sample size as the aim is not to estimate population statistics, but rather to maximize Manuscript to be reviewed diverse viewpoints and show the existence of these views (19). Q-sets of between 40 and 80 items have become standard as anything less may not represent the views or be too limiting (22,23).…”

Background: Rapid reviews expedite the knowledge synthesis process with the goal of providing timely information to healthcare decision-makers who want to use evidence-informed policy and practice approaches. A range of opinions viewpoints on rapid reviews is thought to exist; however, no research to date has formally captured these views. This paper aims to explore evidence producer and knowledge user attitudes and perceptions towards rapid reviews. Methods: A Q methodology study was conducted to identify central viewpoints about rapid reviews based on a broad topic discourse. Participants rank-ordered 50 text statements and explained their Qsort in free-text comments. Individual Q-sorts were analysed using Q-Assessor (statistical method: factor analysis with varimax rotation). Factors, or salient viewpoints on rapid reviews, were identified, interpreted and described. Results: Analysis of the 11 individual Q sorts identified 3 prominent viewpoints: Factor A cautions against the use of study design labels to make judgements. Factor B maintains that rapid reviews should be the exception and not the rule. Factor C focuses on the practical needs of the end-user over the review process. Conclusion: Results show that there are opposing viewpoints on rapid reviews, yet some unity exists. The three factors described offer insight into how and why various stakeholders act as they do and what issues may need to be resolved before increase uptake of the evidence from rapid reviews can be realized in healthcare decision-making environments.

The unconscious in social psychology and psychology: A metaphor for their crises

This theoretical essay analyses critically a metaphor, advanced by Brown and Stenner (2009), for the crises in social psychology and psychology, their objects of study and related philosophical anthropologies: Moby-Dick. In interpreting it symbolically as a myth, we argue that the core question for the crises was the concept of unconscious. Thus we reassess the social history and origins of such concept, centered around Freudian Psychoanalysis and its myth, the "Freudian legend"-how its notion of a subject, model of psychology, and concept of unconscious impacted (social) psychology, culminating in an analysis of the unconscious in social psychology today. We conclude by advancing a proposal: a different philosophical anthropology based on the rescue of a humanist concept of the unconscious, and the symbolic realm, as foundation for both the social (culture) and the subject, and thus for a new social psychology that reunites Naturwissenschaft-and Geisteswissenschaft-models.
