- Evidence linking social media use and depressive symptoms has emerged from a study of 14 year olds, with the connection being stronger for girls than boys. The study, published in EClinicalMedicine, showed that, among teenage girls, greater use of social media corresponded with a stepwise increase in depressive symptoms. For boys, higher depressive symptoms were seen among those reporting three or more hours of daily social media use. To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details.

- Innovative cultures are generally depicted as pretty fun. They’re characterized by a tolerance for failure and a willingness to experiment. They’re seen as being psychologically safe, highly collaborative, and nonhierarchical. And research suggests that these behaviors translate into better innovative performance. But despite the fact that innovative cultures are desirable, and that most leaders claim to understand what they entail, they are hard to create and sustain. That’s because the easy-to-like behaviors that get so much attention are only one side of the coin. They must be counterbalanced by some tougher and frankly less fun behaviors: an intolerance for incompetence, rigorous discipline, brutal candor, a high level of individual accountability, and strong leadership. Unless the tensions created by this paradox are carefully managed, attempts to create an innovative culture will fail. To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details.
- When seeking to understand others -- whether employees, customers, or competitors -- we're routinely advised to "take their perspective": to imagine that we are in their shoes.

- Attitudes toward risk are important at both the individual and the organizational level: Fear of a backlash may keep employees from raising concerns, say, while leaders' willingness to take chances affects decisions about such things as product launches and acquisitions. Previous research has identified several influences on risk preference, ranging from character traits such as extraversion to situational factors such as mood and how issues are framed. A new study explores another variable: the relationship between two competitors. To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details.
- This is an ambitious plan that includes a number of commitments which – if delivered – will improve the lives of many people. NHS leaders should be applauded for focusing on improving services outside hospitals and moving towards more joined-up, preventative and personalised care for patients. But some significant pieces of the jigsaw are still missing, and there should be no illusions about the scale of the challenge ahead.

- Background: Spinal bracing is one form of conservative treatment used in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). You can request a copy of this article by replying to this email. Please be clear which article you are requesting Aim: The aim of this review was therefore to evaluate the effect of brace treatment on balance in subjects with AIS. Method: The search strategy was based on the Population Intervention Comparison Outcome (PICO). PubMed, Scopus, ISI web of knowledge, Ovid, the Cochrane library (CENTRAL) and Google scholar databases and also the reference lists of relevant articles were searched for articles of clinical trials with level of evidence of three or more of AIS that underwent spinal bracing treatment.
- Sense of presence (SoP) has recently emerged as one of the key elements promoting the effectiveness of virtual reality-based training programs. In the context of wheelchair simulators (WSs), the effectiveness of the simulation has been sought using different perception and interaction devices, providing the end-users with different levels of SoP. We performed a scoping review searching scientific and grey literature databases with the aim of assessing the extent of published research dealing with SoP and effectiveness of WSs.

- Integrated care is increasingly promoted as an effective and cost‐effective way to organise care for community‐dwelling frail older people with complex problems but the question remains whether high expectations are justified. Our study aims to systematically review the empirical evidence for the effectiveness and cost‐effectiveness of preventive, integrated care for community‐dwelling frail older people and close attention is paid to the elements and levels of integration of the interventions.

- A summary of findings from the UTOPIA study, which looked at local authority use of telecare and assistive technology for older people in adult social care. The study which was carried out between April 2016 and May 2017, involved an online survey of English local authorities and selective interviews with telecare managers and stakeholder. Key findings cover the strategic aims of assistive technology and telecare; how it is being deployed (assessment process, installation, responding to alarms, and reviews); and evidence collected to monitor whether strategic aims are being met.

- It has been suggested that knowing preferences for the type of future care and where and how it should be provided can be valuable for service users, providers and policy‐makers. Using a qualitative approach, this paper draws on data collected from three focus groups with people aged over 60 who are not in receipt of social care services. The focus groups took place between April 2016 and January 2017. Open Access
- The management of patients with complex health and social needs is one of the main challenges for healthcare systems. Integrated care seems to respond to this issue, with collaborative working and integration efforts of the care system components professionals and service providers aimed at improving efficiency, appropriateness and person centredness of care. The authors conducted a narrative review to analyse the available evidences published on effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of integrated care models targeted on the management of such elderly patients. https://scie-mailing.org.uk/4O5-62651-IT0RQ9-3FFO37-1/c.aspx
