“…This statistically significant effect of PUBLIC TOILETS, QUALITY OF LIFE AND LIFE SATISFACTION loss of quality of life is higher in environmental and physical health terms. Negative experiences with public toilets are related to restrictions on people's independence, limiting their activity, and increased discomfort (Prodgers & Gough, 2021;Trindade et al, 2020) and a worse assessment of the environment in which they live and their health status. Also, correlation analysis showed that socioeconomic factors like low income and low educational level are related to more negative experiences with public bathrooms.…”

Public toilets are a critical public health issue with a significant negative impact on people's lives.Unfortunately, the effect of negative experiences caused by public toilets on people's quality of life and life satisfaction is unknown. In this study, participants (n = 550) were asked to fill in a scale-based survey about their negative experiences with public toilets, quality of life, and life satisfaction. We found that people with toilet-dependent illnesses (36% of the sample) reported more negative experiences with public toilets than their counterparts. These negative experiences are also related to lower scores in some areas of participants' quality of life, such as their environmental, psychological, and physical health and life satisfaction, even after controlling for relevant socioeconomic variables.Additionally, toilet-dependent individuals had particularly negative experiences in terms of life satisfaction and physical health than non-toilet-dependent people. We conclude that the impoverishment of quality of life linked to public toilets as an environmental inadequacy is traceable, estimable, and meaningful. This association is not only negative for ordinary people, but it is significantly negative for people with toilet-dependent illnesses. These results highlight that public toilets are essential to ensure collective well-being, particularly when considering those affected by their presence or lack thereof. Highlights-Negative experiences with public toilets affect quality of life and are an understudied environmental burden PUBLIC TOILETS, QUALITY OF LIFE AND LIFE SATISFACTION 10.1111/sjop.12914 -We provide data linking negative experiences with public toilets to a diminished quality of life and life satisfaction -We conclude that negative experiences with public toilets impact ordinary people's lives, but the association is stronger in people with toilet-dependent illnesses -Public toilets condition well-being, particularly if the person has a toilet-dependent illness.

“…Narratives in blogs are different than narratives obtained with individual interviews under a researcher's observation. A strength of blogs is that they are unsolicited and are driven by the concerns of persons rather than researchers' concerns (Prodgers & Gough, 2021). Given that blogs allow communication through writing instead of speaking, researchers may gain valuable information about persons' experiences that may not be shared as candidly when persons are being interviewed face-to-face with researchers (Rodriquez, 2013).…”

To describe women's experiences of perinatal obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD) as written in their blogs. Study Design and Method: This qualitative descriptive study examined perinatal OCD blogs identifi ed using Google search engine. Krippendorff's thematic content analysis method for qualitative data was used. The unit of analysis included segments of the bloggers' descriptions of their perinatal OCD. Clustering and dendrograms were used to group the data into themes. Results: Forty-three different posts from women in the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, and South Africa were analyzed. Five themes were identifi ed that described women's experiences of perinatal OCD as told in their blogs: (1) Starting to tighten its grip during pregnancy, (2) Keeping horrifi c secrets all to themselves, (3) Tortured with terrifying images and thoughts, (4) Driven to compul-

There has been an increasing interest in research positioned within critical realism (CR). This analysis aimed to determine how CR has been applied in symptom science through a scoping review of the literature. Fifty-two articles were identified through searches in seven databases and search engines, and grey literature. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed using Excel and ATLAS.ti 8.0. Review findings indicate that CR has been used to examine two key aspects of symptoms – symptom experiences and symptom interventions. The details of how CR was operationalized are presented. This first scoping review highlights how a critical realist lens would help examine individual and contextual factors that influence symptom experiences, response to interventions, and outcomes.
