However, the literature on the interplay of enabling or impeding factors and processes at a local and national level tends towards the descriptive, while theorisation of the underlying dynamics remains limited. This paper presents the findings of a framework analysis produced through integrating thematic insights from a narrative review of academic and grey literature with those drawn from interviews with 21 expert informants engaged in social care innovation within the UK within policy, leadership or researcher roles. Analysis enabled five clusters of ‘conditional parameters’ to emerge, covering: mobilisers; system capabilities; design and implementation features; organisational culture, climate and processes; and the macro context. Three or four conditional parameters are identified per category, each outlining factors and processes that could either facilitate an innovation or create barriers that needed to be overcome. To achieve an environment most conducive to innovation, attention needs to be paid to the interplay of these conditions, recognising that their operation and influence might be occurring out of awareness and scrutiny. Innovation is found to be best facilitated by a stable, well-supported workforce that feels energised and confident to create and implement change. This requires developing a supportive, collaborative, relational culture and climate of mutual trust, where reflexive supervisory and evaluatory mechanisms follow the human-centred grain of professional practice and where staff feel safe to experiment and make mistakes. This can enable a conducive zone for innovation to open up, even where policy drivers and the availability of resources are less than optimum.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48195,"journal":{"name":"Health & Social Care in the Community","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/hsc/3599333","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143423709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Healthcare (HC) and social service (SS) providers who work with unhoused individuals have essential roles and insight for how PEOL needs are addressed among this population which may inform opportunities to improve care. This study, therefore, explores Colorado-based HC and SS providers’ approaches working with unhoused individuals with PEOL needs. An exploratory–descriptive qualitative approach was used to conduct semistructured interviews with HC and SS providers in Colorado who provided direct care or services to adults. An iterative thematic analysis approach was used to code and analyze interviews. Seventeen providers were interviewed between June and September 2022, representing settings including hospitalist specialty services, hospice, housing/homeless services, aging services, and community mental health. Amid systemic challenges, including lack of resources and pervasive stigma toward unhoused individuals, providers highlighted person-centered and holistic approaches to care that prioritize building trust and honoring dignity and autonomy. Providers emphasized the importance of organizational commitment to these humanizing approaches while transforming culture surrounding poverty and end-of-life. Further, interviews identified potential solutions to improve PEOL care for individuals experiencing homelessness, including specialized interventions (e.g., mobile palliative care). These findings highlight realistic, humanizing approaches to care providers can incorporate into everyday practice and support the need for specialized PEOL services, policy reform in housing and HC (better housing solutions, hospice reimbursement, etc.), and efforts to address and disrupt homelessness stigma.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48195,"journal":{"name":"Health & Social Care in the Community","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/hsc/6631688","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143389092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Little is currently known about the impact that exposure to secondary trauma has on care staff, which could put them at risk of experiencing empathy-based stress. This qualitative study aimed to explore how empathy-based stress is experienced by care staff supporting children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities and/or autism in residential and respite services, and the factors they perceive as contributing towards or protecting them from experiencing empathy-based stress.</p>\u0000 <p><b>Methods:</b> Twelve care staff from four different community-based organisations in Ireland (two residential care and two overnight respite) took part in online semistructured interviews, which were recorded and transcribed verbatim.

The aged population data and RACF locations were aggregated by SA1, remoteness, and socioeconomic profile, which were defined using the modified Monash model (MMM) and the index of relative socioeconomic disadvantage (IRSD). Remoteness was categorized into metropolitan areas, regional centers, and large rural towns, while socioeconomic factors were analyzed based on IRSD 10 deciles.

No language or date restrictions were placed on the search. Two independent reviewers performed title and abstract screening, retrieval and assessment of full-text evidence sources, and data extraction. Data analysis consisted of basic descriptive analysis. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria, including three mixed methods studies, two rapid evidence reviews, two qualitative studies, one uncontrolled before-and-after study, and one randomized clinical trial. All studies were published between 2020 and 2024. Evidently, social prescribing for children and youth is still in its infancy, with an evidence base that is limited in both quantity and quality.

Core components of the role must be clarified to enable the study of its impact in connecting people to community-based support and subsequent outcomes. This review compiles and summarises published information on the SPLW role. A scoping review was completed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis for Scoping Review. Suitable online databases were searched using identified terms, a review of the reference lists of identified papers was completed and relevant grey literature was identified through Google Scholar. Relevant reports from UK-based social prescribing networks and government organisations were gathered. Eligibility of each paper was determined based on the specified criteria. Inclusion criteria were identified using the PCC (Population; Concept; Context) framework. Of the 251 search results originally identified, 15 peer-reviewed papers met the criteria for inclusion. Five additional published reports from government and community organisations and networks were identified. Data were extracted and collated in tabular form. Thematic data analysis highlighted four common themes clarifying the role of the SPLW and identifying improvements required to advance social prescribing referral processes. (1) SPLW works in collaboration with the participant, to identify personal needs and goals, and monitors progress over time. (2) SPLW connects service users to community/statutory support. (3) SPLW views health in a holistic manner. (4) The importance of training for SPLWs, and those referring into the system, to improve the referral process. Disparity in language and roles is evident, making it difficult to describe and compare the role across social prescribing services. The importance of training is outlined, and training recommendations are made.
