["Health Expectations, Volume 29, Issue 3, June 2026. ", "\nABSTRACT\n\nBackground\nLife after prostate cancer treatment may extend across decades; however, qualitative evidence describing how men in Oman navigate treatment sequelae, disclosure, family involvement, and religious coping remains limited. This study explored the lived experiences of Omani men who had completed primary therapy for prostate cancer.\n\n\nMethods\nBetween September and November 2025, 16 Omani men attending routine follow‐up at a specialised tertiary care centre were invited to take part. Each participant granted a single, audio‐recorded, semi‐structured interview that was transcribed verbatim and analysed by thematic analysis.\n\n\nResults\nFive entangled themes were generated: (1) Silent onset: most men misread early symptoms as ‘normal ageing’ and delayed presentation. (2) Family arbitration: wives, sons and uncles often negotiated the choice between surgery, radiotherapy or androgen‐deprivation therapy. (3) Persistent corporeal shifts: urinary leakage and sexual dysfunction symptoms intruded on prayer routines, market visits and sleep. (4) Emotional oscillation: an initial surge of distress gave way to selective disclosure and gradual recalibration of self. (5) Faith as ballast: daily prayers, Qur'anic recitation and kin obligations supplied a stabilising counter‐weight to uncertainty.\n\n\nConclusion\nLife after prostate cancer in Oman is shaped by biomedical sequelae, Islamic practice and extended‐family logic. Programmes that integrate relatives into follow‐up consultations and legitimise spiritual coping may reduce unmet psychosocial need more effectively than clinician‐only reviews.\n"]

["Health Expectations, Volume 29, Issue 3, June 2026. ", "\nABSTRACT\n\nBackground\nChildren and adolescents diagnosed with cancer and their families have unique medical and psychosocial needs. Addressing these requires research centred on issues most relevant to them. Currently, Australia lacks a research agenda grounded in lived experience and clinical expertise to guide inquiry into child and adolescent cancer.\n\n\nObjective\nTo identify the top 10 research priorities for child and adolescent cancer in Australia.\n\n\nMethods\nWe conducted a James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership involving two national online surveys and an online workshop. Individuals diagnosed with cancer before age 19, caregivers, and health professionals providing care were involved in the process.\n\n\nResults\nIn Survey 1, 229 respondents (41 patients/survivors, 118 caregivers, 70 professionals) submitted 602 in‐scope research questions. These were grouped and refined into 49 summary questions and verified as unanswered through literature reviews. In Survey 2, 474 respondents (32 patients/survivors, 289 caregivers, 139 professionals) selected and ranked the questions most important to them, narrowing the list. The top‐ranked 19 questions were then discussed in a workshop with 27 participants (7 survivors, 9 caregivers, 11 professionals) to reach consensus on the final top 10. Priorities span treatment, survivorship, psychosocial support, and service delivery.\n\n\nConclusions\nThese priorities provide the first step toward establishing a child and adolescent cancer research agenda in Australia that reflects both lived experience and clinical expertise. They call for future research into safe and personalised care across the trajectory, delivered with equality using culturally safe approaches. Collaboratively advancing these priorities will accelerate translation of evidence into meaningful outcomes.\n"]

["Health Expectations, Volume 29, Issue 3, June 2026. ", "\nABSTRACT\n\nIntroduction\nThere is growing recognition of the methodological benefits of co‐producing adolescent mental health research. Co‐production supports the development of study methodologies that are more relevant and appropriate for the examination of adolescents' mental health.\nWithin this article, insights from the Mental Health in the Moment Young Person Advisory Group (MHIM‐YPAG) are presented in relation to which mental health constructs, predictive factors and measures were endorsed by young people for inclusion in a mental health study. The aim of this paper is to provide guidance to researchers, highlight the benefits of co‐production and provide a template for co‐production in mental health study measures.\n\n\nMethods\nMembers (n = 18) took part in online ‘focus group style’ sessions covering constructs, predictive factors and measures related to adolescent mental health. They were asked to discuss and then individually rank a set of constructs, predictive factors and measures from most to least relevant. Following this, a semantic thematic analysis of session materials was performed by researchers and findings were verified by MHIM‐YPAG members.\n\n\nResults\nMembers emphasised the importance of general and specific constructs that reflected both positive and negative traits. In addition, they emphasised the importance of examining suicidality/suicide‐ideation. Social media, academic stress and relationships were the most relevant predictive factors for this group. Language use and response scale length were important when deciding measures appropriateness.\n\n\nConclusion\nThis paper highlights the importance of involving young people as co‐producers within adolescent mental health research. Benefits include improving the appropriateness and relevance of the study design. Insights may act as a guide for researchers involved in adolescent mental health research.\n\n\nPatient and Public Contribution\nThe ‘MHIM‐YPAG’ was established to enable the involvement of young people to co‐produce the MHIM project. Thus, this paper details the insights made by the MHIM‐YPAG regarding the inclusion of specific mental health constructs, predictive factors and measures. As detailed in the MHIM‐YPAG protocol paper, young people will be involved through the 5‐year project in a co‐production capacity.\n"]

["Health Expectations, Volume 29, Issue 3, June 2026. ", "\nABSTRACT\n\nIntroduction\nPublic involvement (PI) in health and social care research is well established. However, questions remain about the quality of PI activities and the consistency with which high‐quality PI is conceptualised. This lack of clarity in how PI quality should be defined and assessed creates challenges for identifying and promoting best practice. While many tools and guidelines exist to support researchers to involve public contributors, it is unclear how many specifically address the evaluation of quality. This scoping review aimed to identify and compare existing frameworks developed to assess the quality of PI in health and social care research.\n\n\nMethods\nA scoping review was conducted in line with the Arksey and O'Malley framework. Nine electronic databases were searched for articles published from 2000 onwards. In addition, Google and the websites of large health and social care charities and research councils were searched to identify unpublished (grey) literature. Forward and backward citation tracking was used to identify sources describing the development of evaluation frameworks to ensure sufficient information on the frameworks was available.\n\n\nResults\nFrom the search, we identified six frameworks designed to evaluate the quality of PI in health and social care research. These were: CUBE, INSIGHT, PiiAF (Public Involvement Impact Assessment Framework), PEQG (Patient Engagement Quality Guidance tool), QIF (Quality Involvement Framework), and PIRIT (Public Involvement in Research Impact Toolkit). While all the frameworks share a common goal to promote best practice in PI, they differ in their conceptualisations of quality, approaches to evaluation, and intended role in the research cycle.\n\n\nConclusion\nThis review provides the first comparative analysis of evaluation frameworks focused on PI quality and offers practical guidance for framework selection. Several evaluation frameworks are available for researchers and public contributors to assess the quality of involvement activities. Because the frameworks identified varied in their conceptualisation of quality and approaches to evaluation, research teams must consider which framework is most aligned with their evaluation goals.\n\n\nPatient or Public Contribution\nA public contributor was involved in the preparation and review of the manuscript, approved the final version, and is included as a co‐author. Their contribution included a retrospective review of the study design, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and interpretation of the findings. Due to the absence of funding at the outset of the project, public contributors were not involved in the initial study design or scoping review.\n"]

["International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, Volume 41, Issue 5, May 2026. ", "\nABSTRACT\n\nObjective\nHigh‐quality dementia care is underpinned by interprofessional collaborative practise, and healthcare training is a critical opportunity to develop these skills. This review aims to examine the evidence for whether interprofessional dementia education for undergraduate healthcare students positively impacts outcomes related to collaborative practise.\n\n\nMethods\nInclusion criteria consisted of papers investigating dementia interprofessional education interventions delivered within undergraduate education and that assessed outcomes relating to interprofessional collaboration. Searches were limited to papers published after 2014 and were conducted in eight databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, ERIC, The Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts (ASSIA), British Education Index (BEI). A narrative synthesis was conducted and data quality was assessed.\n\n\nResults\n11 papers, evaluating 11 different interventions, were included in the narrative synthesis. Four studies demonstrated positive changes in student attitudes or perceptions of interprofessional education or collaboration. Seven studies had evidence that students' knowledge or perceived skills about interprofessional collaboration increased. No evidence was presented for change in student behaviour, or impact on patients or organisational practise. Three studies presented findings on outcomes specifically relating to interprofessional dementia care.\n\n\nConclusions\nThe findings suggest that dementia interprofessional education may contribute to interprofessional competencies. Therefore, interprofessional education could provide added value to dementia education, both of which are high priorities in the undergraduate curriculum. However, the strength of the evidence was weak as the methodological quality of the papers was low. Additionally, interventions were varied and therefore, optimal components of dementia interprofessional education were not identified. More rigorous investigation is needed on the impact of dementia interprofessional education with a focus on the longer‐term impact on student practise and service delivery.\n\n"]

["Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 2, June 2026. ", "\nShort Abstract\nThis article develops a legal geography of mould by examining how damp and disrepair become legal, evidentiary and spatial objects within rental disputes and eviction proceedings in Germany. Drawing on ethnographic research across more than 200 district court hearings, it shows how mould enters the courtroom not primarily as a habitability issue but as a procedural catalyst that transforms material deterioration into legally actionable rent arrears and grounds for eviction. The article argues that mould functions as a threshold object through which evidentiary norms, judicial reasoning and structural inequalities in housing precarity are produced and made visible.\n\nABSTRACT\nHousing precarity is often understood through economic constraints, investment mechanisms and structural conditions of urban housing markets. Yet, an overlooked dimension of housing precarity is the presence of mould, which frequently appears in district court cases on rent disputes and eviction proceedings. This paper develops a legal geography of mould by examining how mould becomes a legal, evidentiary and spatial object within rental disputes in Germany. Drawing on ethnographic research across more than 200 district court hearings in Germany, I show how mould emerged unexpectedly as a recurrent force in cases formally centred on rent arrears and termination. Because tenants often reduce rent in response to damp and disrepair, mould enters the courtroom not as a discrete habitability issue but as a procedural catalyst that transforms material deterioration into legally actionable arrears—arrears that, once two months accumulate, establish grounds for eviction. The paper's theoretical contribution lies in demonstrating how mould functions as a threshold object through which evidentiary norms, judicial logics and structural inequalities become visible. Mould disputes crystallise broader dynamics: the instability of evidentiary claims, the individualised assignment of blame and the uneven distribution of expert knowledge and digital tools. By tracing how mould travels from damp walls to judicial reasoning, the paper advances an account of how law materially shapes urban housing precarity. In doing so, it positions mould at the centre of debates on displacement, the politics of proof, the uneven distribution of urban habitability and the infrastructural role of legal systems within contemporary housing crises.\n"]

["European Journal of Education, Volume 61, Issue 2, June 2026. ", "\nABSTRACT\nThe rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence in Education has significantly reshaped teaching, learning and assessment across mainstream educational domains. However, the integration of AI within Visual Art Education remains comparatively underexplored, fragmented and often positioned at the periphery of dominant educational technology discourses. Addressing this gap, this systematic review critically examines how AI‐driven and digital technologies are conceptualised, implemented and evaluated in visual art education, with particular attention to their implications for creativity, pedagogy and sustainability. Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted across major academic databases, including Scopus, Web of Science and ERIC, covering peer‐reviewed publications from 2020 to 2025. An initial pool of 685 records was identified, of which 33 studies met the inclusion and quality criteria after rigorous screening and independent review. The findings reveal weak integration between technological innovation, established learning theories and the epistemological foundations of artistic practice. This fragmentation constrains the development of coherent, discipline‐sensitive AI pedagogies in the arts. By situating visual art education within the broader landscape of AI in education research, this review provides a critical synthesis that not only maps current trends but also exposes structural gaps in knowledge production. It calls for more theoretically grounded, context‐sensitive and interdisciplinary approaches to ensure that art education is not marginalised in the evolving AI‐driven educational paradigm.\n"]

", "\nABSTRACT\nThis article investigates the changes in the structure of employment in Central and Eastern European firms between 2001 and 2007, before the Global Financial Crisis and following the reforms in the labour and credit markets in these economies. By linking firms' workforce restructuring to their access to credit, this article interrogates well‐accepted theorisations of employment changes including those focusing on labour flexibility. From a policy perspective, these findings question the sole reliance on labour market flexibility as employment policy and advocate for a tighter coordination of labour and credit interventions to limit the negative impact on the quality of jobs of firms' credit needs.\n"]
