Purpose
The pressure on professionals within the healthcare workforce is increasing due to staffing shortages, economic demands and changing care models. Through boundary work theories, our study explores how task-shifting in hand osteoarthritis (OA) care impacts the professional boundaries and division of labor between rheumatologists and occupati...
Background
Professional boundaries within the healthcare workforce are facing new pressures due to staffing shortages, economic demands and changing care models. To address this, global trends emphasise allied health professional-led care, involving delegation of tasks and responsibilities from physicians to other health professionals, often called...
Background
Task-shifting between physicians and other health professionals is increasingly used as a strategy to optimise health care services. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding task-shifting within the field of rheumatology, specifically hand osteoarthritis (HOA). HOA is a highly prevalent rheumatic joint disease, and the number of pe...
Background
Incorporating the feedback of expert stakeholders in ontology development is important to ensure content is appropriate, comprehensive, meets community needs and is interoperable with other ontologies and classification systems. However, domain experts are often not formally engaged in ontology development, and there is little available...
Background
Many global health challenges may be targeted by changing people’s behaviour. Behaviours including cigarette smoking, physical inactivity and alcohol misuse, as well as certain dietary behaviours, contribute to deaths and disability by increasing the risk of cancers, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Interventions have been designed...
Background: Incorporating the feedback of expert stakeholders in ontology development is important to ensure content is scientifically sound, comprehensive, meets community needs and is interoperable with other ontologies and classification systems. However, domain experts are often not formally engaged in ontology development, and there is little...
Background: To efficiently search, compare, test and integrate behaviour change theories, they need to be specified in a way that is clear, consistent and computable. An ontology-based modelling system (OBMS) has previously been shown to be able to represent five commonly used theories in this way. We aimed to assess whether the OBMS could be appli...

Due to the fast pace at which research reports in behaviour change are published, researchers, consultants and policymakers would benefit from more automatic ways to process these reports. Automatic extraction of the reports' intervention content, population, settings and their results etc. are essential in synthesising and summarising the literatu...
Perceptual control theory (PCT) approaches the behavior of living systems as though it were a phenomenon of control and systematically assesses the variables that the individual controls using the test for the controlled variable (TCV). PCT may be supported by the minority because the majority of behavior scientists, like most people, can miss the...
