Both the United Nations and the World Health Organization stress
the need to address numerous increasingly urgent 'global
challenges', including climate change and ineffectiveness of
medication for communicable diseases. Despite climate change
resulting from human activity, most humans feel their contribution
is minimal; thus any effort made toward reducing individual carbon
footprint is futile. Likewise, individual patients feel their
health is their own problem; current increases in outbreaks of
formerly controllable diseases like measles and tuberculosis show
that this is not the case. There is a dire need to instil a
stronger sense of personal responsibility, to act as individuals to
resolve global issues, and the pilot studies presented in Using
Interactive Digital Narrative in Science and Health Education offer
an entertainment-as-education approach: interactive digital
narrative. The researchers on these teams cross diverse
disciplinary boundaries, with backgrounds in chemical engineering,
microbiology, romantic studies, film studies, digital design,
pedagogy, and psychology. Their approach in Using Interactive
Digital Narrative in Science and Health Education to
interdisciplinary research is discussed herein, as is the
practice-based approach to crafting the interactive narratives for
health and science communication and for specific audiences and
contexts.

Following admission to a care home, family and friends may feel
uncertain as to how they now 'fit in' to their loved one's life.
This training package, comprising a booklet and DVD, is designed to
encourage family participation in the care home and develop a
constructive partnership between staff in care homes, families and
people with dementia. The DVD and booklet provide material for four
separate training sessions for use by mixed groups of relatives and
care home staff. Each session explores a different theme: sharing
information, sharing the care, developing supportive relationships
and making it work. With a clear and flexible layout, group
exercises and notes for the facilitator, this training package will
enable professionals and relatives to develop positive and
fulfilling ways of working together and improve the level of care
for those with dementia. This practical training package
complements the book Involving Families in Care Homes: A
Relationship-Centred Approach to Dementia Care (Woods, Keady &
Seddon) and will be an essential resource for improving
relationships between care home professionals, family members and
residents with dementia.
