A multi-national survey to identify health professionals' opinions for the appropriate frequency of urine output monitoring in post-operative patients.

Urine output is an important clinical measurement and oliguria may highlight the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) earlier than serum creatinine (sCr). Despite the importance of urine output monitoring, there are no definitive guidelines or recommendations for best practice. A survey was sent to healthcare professionals with a specialist interest in AKI to gather opinions of what constitutes a good standard of urine output monitoring and by corollary missed care, post- major surgery.

Methods: This is a qualitative descriptive study which used semi-structured interviews.

Ventilation With or Without Endotracheal Tube Leak in Prolonged Neonatal Asphyxia.

Background Severe and prolonged asphyxia can result in either intrauterine fetal death and stillbirth or multiorgan failure in surviving neonates. Establishing effective ventilation is the primary aim of resuscitation in newborns with asphyxia. The objective of this study was to compare the outcome of resuscitation by applying an endotracheal tube (ETT) with less, an ETT with moderate, and an ETT with high leakage during mechanical ventilation in swine neonates after prolonged perinatal asphyxia.

The Importance of Being a Compassionate Leader: The Views of Nursing and Midwifery Managers From Around the World.

Introduction: Despite the importance of compassionate leadership in health care, many of the existing publications do not account for the effect of culture. The aim of this study is to explore the views of nursing and midwifery managers from different countries in relation to the definition, advantages, and importance of compassion.

Methodology: A cross-sectional, descriptive, exploratory online survey was conducted across 17 countries, containing both closed and open-ended questions.

Spiritual Support During COVID-19 in England: A Scoping Study of Online Sources.

Spiritual support is a key element of holistic care, and better healthcare professionals training and stronger strategic guidelines become urgent in light of health disasters and emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, the aim of this study was to explore spiritual support provision within mass and social media and the websites of spiritual leaders, institutions and NHS chaplaincy units during COVID-19 in England, between March and May 2020. A scoping review design informed by Levac and colleagues' five-staged framework was adopted, and adapted with a multi-strategy search to scope the different domains of online sources.

Collegial surface acting emotional labour, burnout and intention to leave in novice and pre-retirement nurses in the United Kingdom: A cross-sectional study.

Aim: To investigate the relationship between surface and deep acting in nurses' patient-focused and collegial emotional labour, with emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment and intention to leave.

Design: A cross-sectional descriptive study using the Emotional Labour Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and intention to leave Yes/No questions with 118 Registered Nurses to measure patient-focused and collegial emotional labour, burnout and intention to leave.

Results: Surface acting in patient-focused collegial emotional labour was found to have positive associations with burnout and intention to leave their current job.
