The mental well-being of prison nurses in England and WalesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Much has been written about the mental health of prisoner patients; however, consideration of the mental well-being of the prison nursing workforce has been limited. In this paper, we highlight some of the key issues currently affecting the mental well-being of nurses working in prison and, through a discussion of a nationally funded study, share our experience of the value both of clinical supervision and action learning in providing a supportive environment for those working with prisoner patients. Policy agendas such as overcrowding and organisational change affecting commissioning arrangements were pivotal to both the ...

Childhood abuse and psychosis; a critical review of the literatureEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Childhood trauma has long been recognised as a potential cause for a range of affective mental health problems arising in adulthood. Only in recent years has the association between childhood abuse and psychosis begun to be investigated. This paper provides a critical review of the literature addressing the relationship between childhood abuse and psychosis. Implications for practitioners are discussed, including practice, policy, treatment and child protection issues. A significant proportion of people develop psychosis in adulthood following all types of childhood abuse, including people diagnosed with schizophrenia, maj...

Mental health content of comprehensive pre-registration nursing curricula in AustraliaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In 2008 the final report of the Mental Health Nurse Education Taskforce was released. This paper presents the findings of the report’s survey into the mental health content of generic pre-registration nursing curricula in Australia. A questionnaire was sent to all nursing schools providing pre-registration curricula. Results indicate curricula contained a wide range of mental health theory and clinical hours. While the majority of universities incorporated most of the 20 key topics recommended by the Mental Health Nurse Education Taskforce in their courses, few addressed issues such as Indigenous mental health. There...

Oral history and biographical research gathering previously unpublished material directly from Altschul and Peplau, and new commentaries on Eileen Skellern from colleagues, are triangulated to form a collective biography that accesses historical consciousness of times of great change in psychiatry. We can see core ideas about psychiatric nursing aggregated around the idea active therapeutic engagement. Peplau and Altschul were simultaneously working with innovative methods of community-based therapy during the Second World War in England with shell-shocked soldiers. Both developed founding ideologies in psychoanalysis and ...

Mental health policy to practice; too much loose change?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Mental health, cancer care and coronary heart disease were identified as the three priorities for the National Health Service, and National Service Frameworks were developed for each area. This prioritisation was reinforced when the NHS Plan was published and a programme of systemic change in the National Health Service was embarked upon to support this new agenda. This paper describes the major policy decisions and systemic changes and how they affected mental health care. The end of the 10-year National Service Framework programme provides an opportune time to review and reflect on the changes, successes and areas for on...

AbstractThe first line nurse managers’ opportunities to lead nursing care seem to be diminishing. The aim of this study was, therefore, to gain an understanding of the first line nurse managers in their experiences in the development of nursing care as part of a wider research programme. Finnish nurse managers wrote narratives at the beginning of five different leadership courses in this grounded theory study. ‘Preparing the Air for Nursing Care’ emerged as a core category. It was formed by two major categories. ‘Being Concerned about Nursing Care’ describes the nurse managers’ focus on ...

AbstractThrough qualitative in-depth interviews, we collected the views of persons with Parkinson’s disease (pwPD) and their close relatives in care homes to establish their collective views of the effectiveness of care. We also reviewed the corresponding care plans. Drawing on these two forms of data collection, we compared similarities and differences between the qualitative interview data and the care plan analysis to elaborate on the experience of residential care for pwPD. Close relatives of care home residents can be a fruitful source of information for care home staff, throughout the care planning process, esp...

AbstractIn the current healthcare arena, clinical errors are receiving much attention. Unintentionally, nurses commit errors, which require guiding ethical principles. This replicated study aimed to assess Jordanian Registered Nurses’ (RNs) perceptions of clinical errors they had committed over the past year: assess nurses’ perceptions of clinical errors committed by other nurses’ detect if these errors were related to the nursing shortage and assess whether or not nurses felt any moral distress. The studied phenomena were compared across different hospitals as well as in various units and wards. A survey...

AbstractCaring has long been affirmed as the essence in nursing. A caring protocol was developed to enhance professional caring and served as a tool to establish a caring culture within a cluster of hospitals. The protocol encompasses three essential elements of professional caring: image, attitude and behaviour. It aims to assess the effectiveness of the protocol in two convalescent hospitals with the objectives to: (1) gain the responses from patients and relatives and (2) explore the feedback from nursing and supporting staff. A mixed method was adopted: a pre- and post-test design and focus group interviews. Nursing an...

AbstractNursing schools are committed to improving the passing rate of the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) and to remain above acceptable levels. Therefore, the National League for Nursing (NLN) readiness exam taken before graduation can be used as a diagnostic test. The NLN scores are used to investigate which clinical course grade has the highest correlation with the readiness exam and ultimately with the NCLEX. With that knowledge, educators could strengthen particular courses in order to ultimately enhance a higher NCLEX-RN passing rate. To investigate the relationship among nurs...

AbstractThe aim of this study is to explore the views of practice nurses’ recruiting into a primary care–based randomised controlled trial, and to investigate factors that influence the success of trial recruitment. It is known that time pressures, forgetfulness and lack of interest in the research topic negatively influence recruitment into research trials by General Practitioners (GPs), but no studies appear to have explored practice nurses’ experience of recruiting into trials. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with a non-random purposive sample of 10 practice nurses who had participa...

AbstractThis paper explores the use of storyline in grounded theory research and potentially other research methodologies that seek to explain phenomena. Storyline as a research strategy has had limited discussion in the literature. Although stories have been used as both a source of data and a means of reporting research findings, the use of storyline is underutilised and undeveloped as a method of constructing and conveying grounded theory. Construction of a theory that is grounded in the data and not influenced by external concepts is possible through the use of storyline. In presenting grounded theory in the form of a ...

Abstract Nurse teacherhood is composed of many factors. It includes nurse teachers’ tasks and different multidimensional roles and also nurse teachers’ individual experiences of being a nurse teacher. Nurse teachers’ experiences of nurse teacherhood depend on the meanings they give to the different factors. In other words, there are not only one but also several interpretations of what nurse teacherhood is. These interpretations affect what is important for each nurse teacher in their own nurse teacherhood and how satisfied they are with their ...

Abstract Cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention can promote recovery, reduce coronary events and improve quality of life in many people with heart disease. Traditionally provided for people with coronary heart disease, there is scope to have provision for a range of people, both young and old, and including those with heart failure, valve disease or with an internal cardiac defibrillator. At its best, cardiac rehabilitation spans the whole pathway of care, beginning before admission to hospital and continuing long after, with ongoing management of lifestyle cha...

Abstract Cardiac rehabilitation is an integral component of comprehensive cardiac care and is effective in reducing morbidity and mortality and improving quality of life. However, despite a 50-year-history and extensive evidence base attesting to its clinical and cost-effectiveness, including adding years to life and life to years, and exhortations that its implementation should be a key priority, the majority of cardiac patients do not receive rehabilitation. There is a comparative dearth of funding and wide variation in service provision, with a health care system tha...
