Journal Article
Dyson, J., Lawton, R., Jackson, C., & Cheater, F. (2013). Development of a theory-based instrument to identify barriers and levers to best hand hygiene practice among healthcare practitioners. Implementation science IS, 8(1), doi:10.1186/1748-5908-8-111. ISSN 1748-5908

Background: A theoretical approach to assessing the barriers and levers to evidence-based practice (EBP) with subsequent tailoring of theoretically informed strategies to address these may go some way to positively influencing the delay in implementi...

The effects of hoarding disorder on families: an integrative review (2013)
Journal Article
Büscher, T. P., Dyson, J., & Cowdell, F. (2014). The effects of hoarding disorder on families: an integrative review. Journal of psychiatric and mental health nursing, 21(6), 491-498. https://doi.org/10.1111/jpm.12098

Compulsive hoarding affects approximately 2-5% of the adult population. Increasing recognition has led to its inclusion as a distinct condition in forthcoming revisions to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual V. Hoarding behaviour can have a detrime...

Does the use of a theoretical approach tell us more about hand hygiene behaviour? The barriers and levers to hand hygiene (2010)
Journal Article
Dyson, J., Lawton, R., Jackson, C., & Cheater, F. (2011). Does the use of a theoretical approach tell us more about hand hygiene behaviour? The barriers and levers to hand hygiene. Journal of Infection Prevention, 12(1), 17-24. doi:10.1177/1757177410384300

Background: Despite many strategies employed to improve hand hygiene, compliance remains low at around 50%. Two reasons have been identified for this. First, implementation strategies are rarely tailored according to assessed barriers and levers to b...
