It is argued that this service is a valuable resource and can enable a better space for preparation for the client, who can then be more insightful and motivated before entering the detox in primary care. It also shows that the guidelines for the assessment and detoxification of patients entering this modality are important in ensuring a potentially good outcome. This is beneficial for the patient and can ensure a break from dependent drinking for 6 months to 1 year. Importantly, it also shows the crucial and beneficial role a nurse specialist can play in treating patients in the clinical speciality of alcohol misuse....

Three key objectives were set:to identify what their public health role was; to explore what the influences are on that role are; to investigate what they felt the solutions were to enhance this aspect of their role. The study design consisted of a small qualitative study that used three focus groups to collect data from practice teachers from health visiting, occupational health nursing and school nursing. The data was combined for thematic analysis of their responses to the three key topics identified. The results showed that the participants were somewhat knowledgeable about their role as public health nurses; were influenced by lack of resou...

The overall model provides empirical evidence for linkages in the WCM. Results showed that QoL is likely to be influenced by the direct effects of environmental conditions, health satisfaction and age. In addition, environmental conditions and age had indirect effects on QoL, in particular via depressive symptoms. Environment had both a significant direct and an indirect effect on QoL. An indirect effect of environment on QoL was shown with depressive symptoms, physical function and perceived health as mediators. There was only a small amount of evidence for age predicting QoL. This model may...

It was first developed with an adult cancer population and is now being evaluated with young people through an iterative development process. ASyMS© involves patients recording and sending symptom reports to the hospital and receiving tailored self-care advice. Health professionals are alerted when severe symptoms are reported. Three phases of the ASyMS©-YG (young people) study are complete. Phase 1 involved young people identifying the symptoms to be assessed. Phase 2 involved young people testing the symptom report system, and ascertaining young people’s, parents’ and professionals’ perceptions of ASyMS©-YG...

Health care providers have a legal duty to ensure (and demonstrate to care regulators) that staffing levels are safe. Yet evidence of effective workforce planning, locally or nationally, is scarce. A plethora of tools exist to help employers to determine nurse staffing required. Although not perfect, the technical resource is none the less available to support planning, but are we willing to use it? In England the different systems have not been reviewed or tested and there is no consensus about the best approach to use. This paper asserts that decisions about current and future configurations of the nursing workforce are currently taken in a data vacuu...

There are continuing reports that new graduates struggle during the transition to the work setting. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of perceived demands, control, social support and self-efficacy on the job satisfaction and intention to leave of new nurses utilising Karasek's Job Demands-Control-Support model. A cross-sectional mailed survey was used to gather data. The sample comprised 232 new nurses working in acute care in Canada. Job demands, social support from both supervisors and coworkers and self-efficacy were significantly related to job dissatisfaction, while demands and support from coworkers were related to intention to leave the job. Identifying factors that contribute to the job satisfaction a...

Social Exchange Theory (perceived organizational support (POS) and psychological contracts) was used to gain understanding of the influence of nurse's employment patterns on employment relationships and individual, organizational and professional outcomes. The sample consisted of 650 randomly selected nurses employed in full-time, part-time, and casual positions across healthcare settings in Ontario, Canada. A cross-sectional survey design explored demographics, volition, POS, psychological contract, job satisfaction, career commitment, and job and career withdrawal.

In the course of planning a research project examining nurse turnover at the clinical level within three Australian States/Territories, the researchers became aware of frequent executive turnover at all levels (State Department of Health, Area Health Service, hospital). Over a period of approximately 2 years there were 41 executives occupying 18 different positions, highlighting the scope of this issue in Australia. Few studies have examined the causes and consequences of this phenomenon in depth. Factors such as age, gender, education, lack of career advancement opportunities and remuneration have all been identified in the...

The impact of these stressors may be causing nurses to leave the acute care setting. This paper will outline the findings from a descriptive study of acute care nurses in Northeast Florida. The research was conducted in an effort to highlight some of the critical factors that impact nurses in the acute care setting and affect their intent to stay at an institution. The concepts of moral distress and professional stress in relation to nursing retention are highlighted and some strategies for lessening of these stressors are proposed. The study was correlational and conducted among 234 nurses in an institutional setting. The study included an online survey based on established Moral Distress and Profession...

Research on positive dimensions fits into the context of positive psychology. Existential fulfilment, workload and engagement have not yet been investigated among nurses. The relationships between existential fulfilment, workload and engagement, as well as the contribution of the first two concepts to engagement, are examined. In a cross-sectional survey, a random sample was drawn (N = 278) from a hospital population of nurses. Of this sample, 169 participants completed a questionnaire that included demographic, existential fulfilment, workload and engagement items. The response was 61%.

The purpose of this paper is to present the interviewers’ reflective journals as a source of rich data. Data collectors interviewed Hispanic family caregivers as part of a quantitative study of caregiving patterns. The stories derived from the personal journals brought to life three themes: caregiving as responsibility; creativity in giving care; and resistance to delegating tasks. Well-written journals have the potential of enhancing the interpretation of data collected by other means and of raising the quality of interviews and data through introspection and cultural understanding of the caregiving...

A literature search has revealed a relative lack of published research from the UK, with more US studies available. This paper provides a review of the literature on these topics and includes a critique of ethnicity categorisation and commonly held assumptions. It explores the complexities of the concept of ethnicity and examines its significance in relation to understandings of health and illness in general, and dementia in particular. Ethnic background appears to account for differences in experiences of dementia and caregiving, but other compounding variables, including socio-economic factors and education, also need to be tak...

An intervention study based on video recordings before and after a MMC intervention was used. Thirteen nurses and 10 residents from six dementia-specific care units at six different institutions in Norway participated. Data were collected through video recording of six pairs (nurse and resident) in interaction before and after the staff received MMC. Four pairs participated as controls.

An understanding of care staff, perceptions of their role and its effects on care practices can help to identify appropriate support structures and training strategies, thereby improving job satisfaction for staff and quality of life for the residents with dementia.

This is due to a lack of clarity and discussion regarding their philosophical positioning and the associated methodological issues likely to be encountered by qualitative researchers. Observations of care can be seen as part of a wider ethnographic tradition of participant observation, but because of the lack of clarity regarding their provenance and utility, novice researchers may experience difficulty in locating them within the ethnographic paradigm.

In investigating these issues the notion of ‘screaming silences’ was developed to unite the theoretical and philosophical approaches that underpinned the research, the experiences of the researcher and participants involved. While ‘screaming silences’ was initially applied to a sexual health and ethnicity context it provides a useful basis for a theoretical framework for researching sensitive issues or the health care needs of marginalised populations. ‘Screaming silences’ (or ‘silences’) define areas of research and experience which are little researched, understood or silenced. ‘S...

Whilst there is a well-established tradition of carrying out a secondary analysis of quantitative datasets within social and health research, this has not been the case with qualitative datasets. Despite a recent growth in interest in the secondary analysis of qualitative data, very little information is available regarding the process, as publications tend to focus on the outcomes of analyses. A secondary analysis of 28 transcripts, sorted from two primary datasets containing longitudinal and cross-sectional interview data, was carried out. The choice of applying a secondary analysis fulfilled the aims of: (i) addressing a sensitive area of research; and (ii) accessing a research...

Recruitment of an adequate number of subjects is often challenging, even within clinical settings where subject populations are abundant. CSMs have rightly prioritised clinical care over directing subjects to research studies. It is therefore critical that researchers recruiting in such clinical settings anticipate recruitment challenges and plan to implement appropriate engagement strategies in all phases of research.

The aim of the study was to test the feasibility of a protocol to measure taste and smell function, and explore links with dietary intake following stroke. Patients were recruited from one Acute Stroke Unit in 2007/8. Data were collected at three time-points and entailed standardised validated assessments of taste and smell function, diet, appetite and mood state. Recruitment of this vulnerable population to a demanding assessment schedule was challenging. Of a cohort of 166 admissions, six were recruited and complete data collected from four participants. Slow recruitment was largely due to exacting inclusion criteria and rapid hospital discharge. Those who completed al...

As successive governments across the world turn their attention to developing nursing as a means of increasing productivity and effectiveness in health care, there is a need for evidence to inform workforce policy and planning about the circumstances that enable positive levers and mechanisms, which influence outcomes to operate.

Knowledge transfer is a relatively new field of inquiry, which, as both a process and a strategy, can lead to the utilisation of research findings and improved outcomes for patients. Nurse leaders and the public have recognised the need to ensure that evidence-based practice is introduced expeditiously. Nurses working at an advanced level of practice, such as consultant nurses, use all forms of knowledge in sophisticated ways to lead the integration of research findings into diverse practice settings. Within healthcare organisations evidence-based practice is far more likely to occur when it is linked to implementing healthcare policy in prac...

In facing these challenges nurses have to respond positively to innovations in the delivery of care, increases in productivity and the eradication of errors that result in harm to patients. In committing to supporting this necessary change, quality improvement and innovation programmes are now available from national, not-for-profit organisations, such as the Health Foundation (UK) and the Institute for Health Improvement (USA) and the National Health Service Institute for Innovation an Improvement (UK) that specifically address these important issues. Although the targets for these programmes are often health care systems at the ...

Many health care professionals lack the knowledge, skills and attitudes to change the systems in which they work, calling for radical redesign of nursing education to integrate new safety and quality science. This paper describes the transformation underway in nursing education in the United States to integrate quality and safety competencies through the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) project.

The necessary organizational, environmental and behavioural conditions for quality care are not new and were in fact known to Florence Nightingale as much as 150 years ago. As noted by Nightingale, and something that remains unchanged today, the greatest threat to patient safety are the frailties of the human condition, complacent attitudes and unconscious behaviours. Recognizing that error is normal and somewhat inevitable, given the complexity of modern surgery, is undoubtedly the first step to mitigating error and harm, and the basis from which to tackle variability and...

We used established methods to evaluate research impact. This included a documentary review of over 30 policy documents, citation analyses on 19 papers and interviews with health visiting researchers. Although there were examples of policy documents being informed by health visiting research it was not always clear what role research had played in the development of recommendations. Information from researchers provided examples of local, national and international impact, although the extent to which papers may have impacted upon policy was less clear from the citation analyses.

In addition, we examine various nursing studies, including ones showing the benefits (especially economic) from nursing itself (as opposed to from nursing research), and also studies describing economic evaluations of new devices and techniques used by nurses, which have the potential to be used when trying to value the research. Currently, such studies rarely go on and demonstrate how the nursing research has had a wider impact on nursing policies and practice, and hence led to outcomes that could be valued. There is, nevertheless, scope to build on these existing nursing studies. Conducting impact assessments could potentially result in a portfolio ...

However, with the introduction of new indicators for ‘what counts’ in research, impact has now entered centre-stage. Nursing ought to have little problem with the concept of impact: we should be able to demonstrate the influence of nursing research on culture, health, society, policy (etc.) in a way that might be more difficult for disciplines that are less applied. Whilst the international principles of impact assessment are quite familiar to those working in the third sector and are encouraged by governments across the world, academic disciplines in general — and possibly nursing in pa...

However, it can be argued that the models and frameworks available for enabling such impact to be demonstrated are poorly developed. Those that do exist are predominantly derived from a linear uni-dimensional perspective of the knowledge flow from the academy to practice. Little sustained attention has been given to the development of models and ways of working that go beyond traditional approaches to impact monitoring through impact factors and citation indices. Engaged scholarship offers a framework that has as an explicit intention, the creation of connections between researchers/universities and practitioners/health care providers. In this paper a model is offered derived from t...

Data related to the use of technologies are presented here. While there are many drivers for the use of e-learning, the current scope of engagement in nursing and health science disciplines is unknown and variations in adoption have not been explored. A postal questionnaire sent to a purposive sample of 93 Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) obtained data from 25 universities (response rate of 28%) related to their uptake and development of e-learning. Questionnaire data was analysed using descriptive statistics. From this, nine HEIs were identified, reflecting a range of levels of engagement in e-learning. Da...

Thus clinical teaching is central to nurse education, where the learning situation often cannot be repeated. The aim of this work was to identify motivating behaviours of role model clinical instructors that enhance student learning, as perceived by Jordanian senior nursing students. Critical incident technique was utilised and analysis of the incidents through Cormack’s technique was applied. A total of 156 student nurses participated in this study and 210 critical incidents related to behaviours of role model clinical instructors were obtained. A total of 10 categories that reflected the behaviours of role model clinical instructors were created. The overall findings indicated that the behaviours of role model clinical instructors ide...

The application of valid and reliable instruments enables nurses to determine patients’ care needs. However, to ensure acceptance in nursing practice, assessment instruments must not only be reliable and valid, but also practical and useful. One such instrument for rehabilitation is the Care Dependency Scale for rehabilitation. The scale has been used in rehabilitation, but so far it has not been evaluated from the nurses’ perspective. Therefore, this study aims to determine how nurses evaluate the clinical utility of the Care Dependency Scale for rehabilitation. In this context the application and testing of a staff view assessment instrument ...

Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are a blunt instrument of assessing whether interventions achieve intended or unintended outcomes, or whether they are acceptable to those they are aimed at. To understand the success or failure of evidence-based interventions, it is necessary to investigate practitioners’ acceptance of, or resistance to, EBM. This involves exploration of the perceived relationships between practical clinical knowledge derived from everyday practice and scientific knowledge. The implementation of best evidence also requires the ack...

This paper reports a significant development in the evolution of the Cochrane intervention review and outlines an evolving role for qualitative evidence. Policy and methodological developments within the Cochrane Collaboration and beyond will be discussed alongside an ongoing debate about the politics of evidence and perceived power of the quantitative effectiveness review in an evidence-based practice context.

Indeed, these trials have been upheld as the gold standard in research. The benefits and limitations of the randomised controlled trial as a method of evaluating the effectiveness of healthcare interventions are presented. The paper then examines the different levels of complexity within healthcare interventions and the problems this poses in determining effectiveness. In an effort to provide a solution to this problem, the Medical Research Council produced a framework to assist investigators to develop and evaluate complex healthcare interventions. The framework is described with reference to an example of implementing and evaluating protoc...

Using a post-modern lens, we begin by defining evidence, signifying the importance of context, and use discourse as a vehicle for looking at the ways in which qualitative research evidence struggles to achieve the equivalent standing of its quantitative counterpart. In outlining the role of discourse in the creation of research paradigms, we offer a conceptual map that enables a repositioning of qualitative research in the evidence-based genre. In order to best illustrate our standpoint, we then provide two examples of qualitative, transformational research approaches and relate these to the criteria of rigour and relevance, criteria which we would argue when met are examples of high-quality ...

The role was introduced in the UK in 2000 to improve patient outcomes, clinical leadership and retention of experienced clinicians. A larger study used a multi-method approach to collect quantitative and qualitative data from focus groups, interviews and a questionnaire administered nationally at two time points. Findings from longitudinal telephone interviews with 30 consultant nurses are the focus of this paper. Three consultant nurses were selected as case studies to examine the potential of personal initiative theory when applied to new nursing roles. The activities of two of the three demonstrated a high level of personal initiative in the job. They per...

The aims of the present study were both to explore how the oldest of old men and women with estimated high resilience talk about experiences of becoming and being old, and to discuss the analysis of their narratives in terms of the foundational concepts of the Resilience Scale (RS). Thematic narrative interviews collected from 24 old people were analysed using content analysis, and the following themes were identified: feeling connected, feeling independent and creating meaning. The themes can be seen as congruent with the underlying concepts of the Resilience Scale; however, the themes were markedly gendered. A combination of both quantitative and qualitative...

A correlational descriptive survey was used to investigate this relationship among a convenience sample of 365 Jordanian hospital nurses. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, which included the Schwirian Six Dimension Scale of Nursing Performance, the McCain and Marklin Social Integration Scale, and the demographic form. Perceived social support from co-workers enhanced the level of reported job performance (r = 0.40; p < 0.001). The analysis also showed that demographic variables and co-workers support explained 20% of the variation in job performance. Results indicated the positive effect of co-workers support on job performance...

Nurses and midwives face challenges in caring for women during abortion. Recent advances have resulted in more nursing/midwifery input into abortions. Impending legislation is also likely to increase nursing involvement and yet little is known of the likely impact on those involved. Twelve nurses and midwives working in termination of pregnancy services throughout Wales were interviewed using a grounded theory approach. An early affective attribute was being non-judgemental, but the core category derived from comparative analysis revealed that nurses and midwives conceded judging the women, but then concealed the...

It is set within the context of a population that has historically experienced poor care and treatment. This is despite legislation to protect vulnerable groups and clear government policies setting out the need to support people with learning disabilities to lead full and equal lives, providing additional support when needed. The evidence surrounding the health needs of people with learning disabilities is presented, along with the resultant implications for health services. This is set alongside emerging evidence that seeks to address the shortfalls and failings that, in some cases, are known to have contributed to premature and of...

In this paper we share research insights on an approach that shows promise for engaging across the spectrum of health services to foster access to services and supports for child development to reduce child health inequities. As pathways of influence on children’s health and development extend beyond the biomedical domain new approaches to practice are needed to foster health care access and to mobilise needed supports. The Social Paediatrics Initiative has been introduced in one of Canada’s poorest inner city neighbourhoods where a disproportionate number of children experience adverse childhood events and enter school developmentally delayed.

In this paper we explore the long-term health impact associated with a history of persecution, social pathologisation and social exclusion of Gypsies and Travellers. A society that has demonstrated entrenched and widespread hostility towards Gypsies and Travellers has contributed to wariness about trust in outsiders and contributes to the communication barriers with health staff that are implicated in their poor access to healthcare. Many of the problems identified by health staff mirrored those identified by Gypsies and Travellers, particularly with regards to mismatched expectations and resulting conflict...

The current government in the United Kingdom has made a commitment to reducing the high rates of teenage conceptions and sexually transmitted infections and emphasise an increased public health role for school nurses. However, there appears to be no research to suggest that school nurses are the most appropriate healthcare professionals to competently assist with sexual health education in schools. In accordance with the TRA, a questionnaire was designed to measure the intention, attitude, subjective norm and behaviour of the group being surveyed. The purpose-designed questionnaire was distributed to all school nurses ...

The paper concludes by proposing ideas for short-term to medium-term research-building activities, but which need to sit alongside a supportive, infrastructural model in order to achieve the longer-term goals of (1) advancing nursing/midwifery research generally, and (2) ensuring nursing/midwifery research achieves equal-partner status in academic health science centres, which are predominantly biomedically research led organisations.

Each CLAHRC represents a collaborative partnership between one or more universities and their neighbouring NHS organisations. This investment in research infrastructure presents considerable opportunities for nursing to develop capacity and capability to undertake research and knowledge translation activity and support clinical academic careers. However, in order for the potential of CLAHRCs to be realised investment in nursing leadership is required. (Source: Journal o...

The background of the UKCRC is explored with particular reference to the policy imperatives that led to the creation of the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR).
