Exploring factors which contribute to the resilience of nurses working in the neonatal care unit: A grounded theory study.

Objectives: This study aimed to produce a theoretical model to understand factors which affect the resilience of neonatal nurses. Nurses experience high levels of burnout due to the occupational stress they are exposed to. Burnout negatively affects both staff and patient outcomes, and in this population would likely affect the establishment of crucial early caregiver-infant relationships in the neonatal unit.

A framework synthesis reviewing the impact of neonatal care unit admission on early caregiver-infant relationships.

Aims: To critically review and synthesize qualitative research pertaining to the establishment of early caregiver-infant relationships in the neonatal care unit (NCU).

Background: It is well-established that bonding and attachment, established across the prenatal and early childhood periods, affect child cognitive and behavioural development. Proximity, reciprocity, and commitment are key to the formation of these early relationships.

Assessing the relationship between eating disorder psychopathology and autistic traits in a non-clinical adult population.

Purpose: Previous research demonstrates a genetic and behavioural link between eating disorders and autism spectrum disorders, and a recent study (Coombs et al. in Br J Clin Psychol 50:326-338, 2011) extends this link to typical populations, showing a positive correlation between behaviours in typically developing children. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether this relationship continues beyond development, by studying the link between behaviours in a non-clinical adult population.
