Research data is the original Intellectual Property produced by researcher that is then reported and interpreted in scholarly books, journal articles, and conference proceedings. This collection is a store of research data produced by Oxford Brookes researchers so that their data can be accessed by other researchers and the public.
This dataset comprises cross-sectional online survey data (n=82) and focus group transcripts (n=3 with a total of n=18 participants) from school nurses (SNs) in the UK collected in 2024. The data explores SNs' experience, confidence, and need to support children, young people, and their caregivers with sleep-related topics and issues. This dataset is access-controlled. There are ethical and data governance concerns pertaining to the respondent's clinical practice with children and young people. The dataset holds sensitive and potentially identifiable information. We also wish to uphold the practitioners' duty of confidentiality associated with their role as school nurses. However, the research team remains committed to open research. Therefore, the data are available under strict access terms and are securely deposited in Arkivum, Oxford Brookes's safe long-term digital archive. The data access procedure, documentation and metadata is available. The data are available for collaborative research purpose…
This study test the relative predictive power of goal-striving reasons framework and self-determination theory for three key life domains (work, exercising and environmentalism). It does so by comparing the relevant sub-dimensions of the two theories (approach/avoidance within goal-striving reasons framework and autonomous/non-autonomous within self-determination theory). The findings of this longitudinal study (N = 139), using multiple regression analyses (enter method), show that, overall, the approach/avoidance sub-dimension is a better predictors of people’s positive psychological functioning at work and for exercising whereas the level of environmentalism was better predicted by autonomous or non-autonomous forms of motivation . This further substantiates the theoretical differences between the approach/avoidance based goal-striving reasons framework and autonomy focussed theories such as self-determination theory. This is because the approach/avoidance dimension is more sensitive for the affective exper…

This is a report of the evaluation of the post-implementation phase of the Thames Valley Hospital Navigator Scheme. the report illustrates how the Navigator model provides a valuable early intervention pathway for young people presenting in the ED with a range of challenging issues. There are four aspects to the evaluation: a document review, a scheme-wide audit, a case description review, and interviews with stakeholders across the scheme: commissioners, hospital managers, ED staff, VCSO managers, Navigator Co-ordinators, Navigator Volunteers, young people, and parents. This report provides brief summaries of the key findings from the evaluation datasets. There are 8 sections in the report: Section 1 sets the scene for the scheme. Section 2 presents the quantitative findings from an audit across the 5 sites. Section 3 foregrounds accounts from young people who have benefitted from the scheme. Section 4 presents an integrated delivery model that can inform the implementation of similar schemes. S…
