The role of motivation in the initiation and maintening mentoring relationships among nurses and midwives.

Aim: To understand clinicians' motivations to engage in mentoring to support newly graduated nurses and midwives working in hospital settings.

Background: Nursing and midwifery literature has established the benefits of mentoring and challenges that affect the effectiveness of formal mentoring programmes. No studies have explored hospital nurses' and midwives' motivations to mentor in the absence of the obligatory status and associated rewards of institutionalised mentoring.

Exploring the dark side of informal mentoring: Experiences of nurses and midwives working in hospital settings in Uganda.

Mentoring literature explores the dark side of mentoring as factors such as gender and race and how they affect the overall mentoring experience. The sociocultural context of the nursing and midwifery professions presents unique characteristics warranting a qualitative exploration of negative mentoring experiences. We aimed to characterise the dark side of mentoring based on informal mentoring relationships occurring among nurses and midwives working in hospitals.

Evaluating psychometric properties of three mentoring scales among nurses and midwives in hospital settings: A methodological study.

Background: Scales used to evaluate nurses' perspectives of mentoring programmes are mainly designed in developed countries, making them unsuitable for nurses and midwives working in resource-poor developing countries.

Aim: To explore the psychometric properties of the perceived cost of mentoring (PCM) scale, negative mentoring experiences (NME) scale and relational mentoring index (RMI) for adaptation in hospital settings in Uganda.

Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used.

Is this the solution to wellbeing and burnout management for the critical care workforce? A parallel, interventional, feasibility and realist informed pilot randomized control trial protocol.

Critical care healthcare professionals are at high risk in developing burnout and mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. High demands and the lack of resources lead to decreased job performance and organizational commitment, low work engagement, and increases emotional exhaustion and feelings of loneliness. Peer support and problem-solving approaches demonstrate promising evidence as it targets workplace loneliness, emotional exhaustion, promotes work engagement, and supports adaptive coping behaviors.

Instruments to identify risk factors associated with adverse childhood experiences for vulnerable children in primary care in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review and narrative synthesis.

Vulnerable children exposed to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are lacking visibility in healthcare and social welfare support systems, particularly in countries where there are delays in integrating biopsychosocial care into traditional medical care. This review seeks to identify, evaluate, and summarise existing screening instruments used in measuring risks factors related to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in vulnerable children in Primary Health Care (PHC) settings in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The target population in this research is children from age (05-18 years) living in poverty and extreme social disadvantage.

Impact of Dual Intensive Care Unit and Rapid Response Team Nursing Roles on Service Delivery in the Intensive Care Unit.

Background: Rapid response teams generally consist of multidisciplinary specialist staff members with advanced knowledge and skills to manage deteriorating patients outside of the intensive care unit. These teams consist predominantly of intensive care unit nurses, who often undertake intensive care unit and rapid response team duties concurrently. Little has been published on the impact of these nurses' absence while attending a rapid response call on the nursing workforce, patient care, and resource allocation in the intensive care unit.

Do nurses receive any support following incidents of workplace violence? A qualitative study.

Aim: We aim to investigate nurses' perceptions of support after incidences of Workplace Violence.

Aims And Objectives: To explore the shared experiences of people with stroke and caregivers in preparedness to manage post-discharge care.

Background: People with stroke and caregivers show dyadic effects in dealing with post-discharge care challenges. However, few studies have explored their shared experiences and unique challenges for each dyadic member in preparedness to manage post-discharge care.

Indicators of nutritional risk in hospital inpatients: a narrative review.

Malnutrition is common in the acute care setting. Despite the existence of a plethora of screening tools, many malnourished patients remain undiagnosed and untreated, in part due to competing responsibilities for screening staff, under- or over-referral to dietetics services, and inadequate dietetics resources. Better identification of patients at risk of malnutrition would enable optimised care provision and streamlined care pathways.

Identification of nutritional risk in the acute care setting: progress towards a practice and evidence informed systems level approach.

Background: To improve nutritional assessment and care pathways in the acute care setting, it is important to understand the indicators that may predict nutritional risk. Informed by a review of systematic reviews, this project engaged stakeholders to prioritise and reach consensus on a list of evidence based and clinically contextualised indicators for identifying malnutrition risk in the acute care setting.

Methods: A modified Delphi approach was employed which consisted of four rounds of consultation with 54 stakeholders and 10 experts to reach consensus and refine a list of 57 risk indicators identified from a review of systematic reviews.

Benefits and challenges for hospital nurses engaged in formal mentoring programs: A systematic integrated review.

Aims: To explore the overall benefits and challenges for the mentee, the mentor, and the hospital (stakeholders) in hospital-sponsored mentoring programs.

Background: Formal mentoring programs are widely used to assist nurses to adapt to clinical practice, facilitate their career development, and improve workforce retention. However, the overall benefits and challenges for stakeholders involved in formal mentoring programs remain largely unknown due to a lack of systematic reviews to synthesize relevant studies in this important area.

Caring for patients displaying agitated behaviours in the intensive care unit - A mixed-methods systematic review.

Background: Patient agitation is common in the intensive care unit (ICU), with consequences for both patients and health professionals if not managed effectively. Research indicates that current practices may not be optimal. A comprehensive review of the evidence exploring nurses' experiences of caring for these patients is required to fully understand how nurses can be supported to take on this important role.
