Background: A growing body of evidence shows that many nursing home residents' basic care needs are neglected, and residents do not receive qualitatively good care. This neglect challenges nursing staff´s professional and personal ideals and standards for care and may contribute to moral distress. The aim of this study was to investigate how nursing staff manage being a part of a neglectful work culture, based on the research question: "How do nursing home staff manage their moral distress related to neglectful care practices?"
Methods: A qualitative design was chosen, guided by Charmaz´s constructivist grounded theory.
Background: Research shows that nursing home residents' basic care needs are often neglected, potentially resulting in incidents that threaten patients' safety and quality of care. Nursing staff are at the frontline for identifying such care practices but may also be at the root of the problem. The aim of this study was to generate new knowledge on reporting instances of neglect in nursing homes based on the research question "How is neglect reported and communicated by nursing home staff?"
Methods: A qualitative design guided by the principles of constructivist grounded theory was used.
Introduction: Residents in nursing homes do not always get qualitatively good nursing care, and research shows that residents' basic care needs are sometimes neglected. Neglect in nursing homes is a challenging and complex issue, yet a preventable one. Nursing home staff are at the frontline of detecting and preventing neglect but may also be the ones causing it.

Background: Critically ill patients demand great resources during an ICU stay, some experience great challenges after discharge from hospital. Knowledge about how health professionals can promote former long-term critically ill patients' inner strength and willpower after discharge is essential, but still missing.
Aims And Objectives: To explore how the presence of family and health professionals influences long-term critically ill patients' inner strength and willpower as an incitement to keep fighting for recovery.
Background: This study reports long-term critically ill patients' experiences of family and health professionals as health-promoting resources in terms of significance for their inner strength and willpower. Earlier research on this topic is scarce.
Aims And Objectives: To explore aspects that promote and challenge long-term ICU patients' inner strength and willpower.
Background: Considerable research has been devoted to ICU patients' experiences; however, research on long-term ICU patients is limited. Studies in a health-promoting perspective focusing on long-term ICU patients' inner strength and willpower are scarce.
Aims And Objectives: To explore family members' experiences of long-term intensive care unit (ICU) patients' pathways towards survival and to highlight family members' efforts to promote the patient's health during the ICU stay.
Background: Although considerable research has been devoted to the substantial burden of long-term ICU patients, less attention has been paid to health-promoting factors that facilitate patients' health and survival during ICU stays. Support from family members can improve patient outcome.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of age on mortality and 3-month outcome in a Norwegian cohort of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Methods: Norwegian residents ≥ 16 years of age who were admitted with a severe TBI to the country's 4 major trauma centres in 2009 and 2010 were included, as were adults (16- 64 years) and elderly patients (≥ 65 years).
Results: Half of the adult subjects and 84% of the elderly subjects were injured by falls.
