Supplemental Material, sj-pdf-1-tra-10.1177_14604086221104934 for Psychological and psychosocial aspects of major trauma care in the United Kingdom: A scoping review of primary research by Philippa Olive, Lucy Hives, Neil Wilson, Amy Ashton, Marie Claire O’Brien, Gemma Mercer, Raeesa Jassat and Catherine Harris in Trauma

Purpose: The label ‘Personality Disorder’ continues to divide opinion. Challenges to the terminology of personality disorder led by people with lived experience and supported by critical practitioners and academics are tempered by acknowledgement of certain positive social consequences of obtaining a diagnosis. As such, it is opportune to engage service users and staff in a process of inquiry to better understand the complexities of views on the terminology of Personality Disorder. \ud Design / Methodology / Approach: This study set out to qualitatively explore the views of a range of people with lived, occupational and dual lived experience / occupational expertise, relating to the diagnostic label of Personality Disorder, via participatory and critical group debate. The World Café approach is an innovative methodology for participatory inquiry into subjective views suited to exploring contested subject matter.\ud Findings: This study identified contrasting opinions towards the label of Personality Disorder and provides insight into the concerns described for both keeping and losing the label. Although many felt the words ‘personality’ and ‘disorder’ are not in themselves helpful, certain positive views were also revealed. Perspectives towards the label were influenced by the way in which diagnosis was explained and understood by patients and practitioners, alongside the extent to which service provision and evidence-based interventions were offered.\ud Originality: This study brings together a wide range of views and experiences of mental health professionals, individuals lived experience and those who align to both lived and occupational expertise. A safe space was provided via the uniquely co-produced world café research event to bring together discussion and debates from mixed perspectives makes this a novel study. The focus being on perspectives towards contested language, labelling and social impact adds to scholarship in this field \ud Research / Practical / Social Implications: The findings have potential to contribute to ongoing critical debate regarding the value of the Personality Disorder construct in the provision of care and support. Specific emphasis upon the relational framing of care provision offers a means to ameliorate some of the negative impacts of terminology. Perspectives are influenced in the way the label understood hence attention is required to enhance these processes in clinical practice. There is much more work required to overcome stigmatisation, prejudice, and lack of knowledge and understanding. Further research identifying means for challenging stigma and the factors contributing to positive clinical interactions are required.

Introduction More people are surviving major trauma, often with life changing injuries. Alongside physical injury, many survivors of major trauma experience psychological and psychosocial impacts. Presently, there is little guidance at the UK national level for psychological and psychosocial aspects of major trauma care. Set in the context of the regional model of major trauma care implemented in the UK in 2012, the purpose of this review was to identify and bring together primary research about psychological and psychosocial aspects of major trauma care in the UK to produce an overview of the field to date, identify knowledge gaps and set research priorities. Methods A scoping review was undertaken. Seven electronic databases (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, SocINDEX with Full Text and PROSPERO) were searched alongside a targeted grey literature search. Data from included studies were extracted using a predefined extraction form and underwent bibliometric analysis. Included studies were then grouped by type of research, summarised, and synthesised to produce a descriptive summary and overview of the field. Results The searches identified 5,975 articles. Following screening, 43 primary research studies were included in the scoping review. The scoping review, along with previous research, illustrates that psychological and psychosocial impacts are to be expected following major trauma. However, it also found that these aspects of care are commonly underserved and that there are inherent inequities across major trauma care pathways in the UK. Conclusion Though the scoping review identified a growing body of research investigating psychological and psychosocial aspects of major trauma care pathways in the UK, significant gaps in the evidence base remain. Research is needed to establish clinically effective psychological and psychosocial assessment tools, corresponding interventions, and patient-centred outcome measures so that survivors of major trauma (and family members or carers) receive the most appropriate care and intervention.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this scoping review is to identify the extent of research exploring the health and well-being harms experienced by adult victims of different types of interpersonal violence. INTRODUCTION Interpersonal violence is defined as violence between individuals. It can take many forms and may be physical, sexual, psychological, coercive, or deprivational in nature. Health and well-being harms from being subject to interpersonal violence are common and often endure. Interpersonal violence may cause physical injury, often has mental health impacts, and is associated with greater risk for long-term medical conditions. Though a substantial body of research of health and well-being harms of different types of interpersonal violence exists, to date this has not been collated and mapped; this scoping review will address this gap. INCLUSION CRITERIA Peer-reviewed primary and secondary research studies, from 2000 to 2019 (in English) that address the negative effects of interpersonal violence on the health and well-being of adult victims will be included. Studies of group violence, military veterans, and violence as acts of war will be excluded. METHODS Six electronic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL Complete, Embase, PsycINFO, SocINDEX and Cochrane Library) and web sources of specialist gray literature will be searched. Screening and data extraction will be assessed by independent researcher verification processes. Relevant studies and their characteristics will be summarized using a pre-designed data extraction form. Further data synthesis will be undertaken to produce a coherent and comprehensive map of research in the field, identify gaps, and inform priorities for future directions of research and innovation.
