Abstract:

The purpose of this project was to examine the perceptions of nursing students working with staff nurses during their clinical experiences. Based on this information, a resource for staff nurses was developed to assist them in mentoring students. A limited review of the literature identified helpful and hindering practices in the education of nursing students. Nursing schools and faculty are charged with theoretical and clinical education of nursing students so they may enter into the nursing profession as competent and safe nurses. Staff nurses play integral roles in the formative development

Abstract:

The series of studies presented in this thesis test an attribution-emotion behaviour model of helping versus violent retaliation (after Weiner, 1995) in professional groups at high risk of encountering violence in the workplace. Weiner's model predicts that staff who perceive violent incidents as within the control of the client will be more likely to experience anger and demonstrate a retaliatory response. Conversely, staff perceiving causes as uncontrollable by the client are more likely to feel sympathetic and exhibit helping behaviour. Emotional responses are seen to mediate between attrib

Abstract:

As primary care providers in correctional facilities, correctional nurses are expected to balance inmates' healthcare needs with the security demands of the facility. This project explored whether an evidence-based education program could provide strategies for promoting health, a healthy work environment, and a sense of well-being to improve the knowledge, coping skills, and well-being of nurses working in a correctional occupational setting. Twenty nurses participated in an educational intervention project that was guided by the transactional theory of stress. Using a pretest/posttest design

Abstract:

Objective: Research into how staff working in eating disorder setting may be affected by their work is still a reasonably new area, with many previous studies relying on homogenous groups for recruitment or utilising survey based methodologies. Therefore, this study used a grounded theory approach to construct a theory of changes to body image, perceptions of food and diet experienced by clinicians, how these changes are experiences or made sense of, and what factors may contribute to these changes. Method: Thirteen members of staff were interviewed about their body image and eating habits bef

Abstract:

Background: As a result of the changes in support for adults with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) and the increasing emphasis on independent living within the community, individuals commonly live in their own homes with support provided by voluntary or private services. As a result, support staff play a huge role in the lives of adults with ID and are often the mediators of interventions aimed at reducing distress or the occurrence of challenging behaviour. Issues relating to the well-being of support staff and how they manage behaviours that challenge services are central to the quality of the

Introduction: Care professionals suffering with poor wellbeing is a phenomenon that has been found to have a damaging effect upon individual employees, service users and organisations. Employees working in forensic settings are believed to be at increased risk of damaged wellbeing due to the unique demands of their working environment, including exposure to violence and aggression. This issue was addressed in two ways.

Abstract:

The personality disorder (PD) concept has attracted widespread criticism (see Cromby, Harper & Reavey, 2012). Research suggests those who receive this diagnosis are often stigmatised by mental health professionals. Psychological approaches to understanding staff views about PD have been dominated by realist methodologies which are limited in their capacity to attend to the complexity, contradictions and context of health professionals’ views. Recently, studies have explored the ways that mental health staff talk about their work and account for their treatment decisions; these studies show how

This study examined the experience of clinical staff working in paediatric palliative care (PPC). The involvement of parents in the provision of care alongside professionals and differences in interpreting a child’s condition and palliative status by parents, professionals and the children themselves are likely to impact on decision-making and may result in challenges and conflicts of interests. Dilemmas arising from the interplay of potentially opposing perspectives are likely to cause tension and make it difficult for staff to know how to proceed.

Research has focused on the relationship between attributions and emotion in helping behaviour (e.g. Sharrock, Day, Qazi and Brewin, 1990; Dagnan, Trower and Smith, 1998; Stanley and Standen, 2000).

Abstract:

Coping strategies employed by unqualified direct-care staff working in both hospital and community units for clients with challenging behaviours were investigated in relation to experienced stress. A 40-item Coping Questionnaire (developed and previously used in a psychiatric setting), adapted from the work of Lazarus and his co-workers, which claims to delineate problem-focused and emotion-focused strategies, was used to examine the coping strategies employed. The GHQ-12 was used to measure reported stress levels. As there was no reported assessment of the psychometric properties of the 40-it

Section One: Literature Review : The literature review investigated the association between income inequality and mental health within Britain. Eight quantitative studies were included within the review. All studies showed support for the notion that there is an association between income inequality and mental health. The results demonstrated the complexity of the relationship between income inequality and mental health. Future research is required to specifically examine the validity of Kawachi & Kennedy’s (1997) conceptual model of income inequality and mental health. Section Two: Research R

Abstract:

In Britain, the ‘Building Schools for the Future’ (BSF) programme numbered among its aims: ‘the building of sustainable communities in which students and teachers alike [could] thrive’ (DfES, 2003, p.88). Modern, purpose-built and ecologically efficient architecture was regarded as central to this. What is less clear is how particular architectural features could contribute to the positive effects hypothesized in BSF literature. Vischer (2008) has identified three areas in which environmental psychology research explores the effects of workspaces and workplace design on individuals: Territoria

Abstract:

The role of the special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCO) has undergone radical changes since it was formalised in the SEN Code of Practice (Great Britain. Department for Education and Employment, 1994). These changes have been mirrored by changes in policy for children with special educational needs (SEN) and SENCOs now find themselves working in more complex environments with a plethora of demands. This thesis is set within this contemporary educational scene. The experiences of the SENCO are the focus of this study and the stories of these teachers have been portrayed through narrative
