This study used Grounded Theory methodology to investigate whether learning in a Problem Based Learning (PBL) group was influenced by student demographic diversity. Data comprised observations, in the form of video footage, of one first year PBL grou... Read More about Age difference and face-saving in an inter-generational problem based learning group.

Breast compression - an exploration of problem solving and decision making in mammography (2014)
Journal Article
Nightingale, J., Murphy, F., Robinson, L., Newton-Hughes, A., & Hogg, P. (2015). Breast compression - an exploration of problem solving and decision making in mammography. Radiography, 21(4), 364-369. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2014.11.004

Objective: Breast compression decreases radiation dose and reduces potential for motion and geometric unsharpness, yet there is variability in applied compression force within and between some centres. This article explores the problem solving proces... Read More about Breast compression - an exploration of problem solving and decision making in mammography.

Compression force behaviours : an exploration of the beliefs and values influencing the application of breast compression during screening mammography (2014)
Journal Article
Murphy, F., Nightingale, J., Hogg, P., Robinson, L., Seddon, D., & Mackay, S. (2015). Compression force behaviours : an exploration of the beliefs and values influencing the application of breast compression during screening mammography. Radiography, 21(1), 30-35. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2014.05.009

This research project investigated the compression behaviours of practitioners during screening mammography. The study sought to provide a qualitative understanding of ‘how’ and ‘why’ practitioners apply compression force. With a clear conflict in t...
