An e-Learning Intervention for Professionals to Promote Family-Centered Cancer Care When a Significant Caregiver for Children Is at End of Life: Mixed Methods Evaluation Study.

Background: Families are often unsure how best to prepare dependent children for the death of a significant caregiver with a poor cancer prognosis and seek guidance and support from health care teams. Health and social care professionals (hereafter referred to as professionals) often lack educational opportunities to gain the desired knowledge, skills, and confidence to provide family-centered supportive cancer care. e-Learning has positively impacted access and reach, improving educational opportunities in health care.

Adapting and testing an eLearning resource for professionals to support families when a significant caregiver for children is dying with cancer.

Purpose: Health and social care professionals (professionals) often lack knowledge, skills and confidence to support adults at end of life with significant caregiving responsibilities for children, < 18. A recent systematic review highlighted a dearth of educational interventions (n = 2) to equip professionals to provide supportive care to families when a parent has cancer. Addressing an evident gap in education, this paper details the adaption and optimisation of a face-to-face educational intervention to an accessible eLearning resource.

Knowing, Being and Becoming a Person-Centred Nurse Leader: Findings from a Transformative Professional Development Programme.

Leadership is central to the development of effective workplace cultures and as such should be viewed as a practice that is relational, exercised through a process of mutual and reciprocal influence. Person-centred leadership is an approach to leadership that supports a way of being that is authentic, prioritising values lived out in action. However, there is an increasing recognition that leadership development has not been impactful in relation to workplace culture.

Methods: Phase 1 incorporated a multiple-choice questionnaire completed by 77 Directors of Nursing recruited using voluntary response sampling.

Maintaining momentum in action research.

Background: Action research (AR) provides a robust platform for collaboration to develop and evaluate nursing practice. It results in several outcomes, including changes in evidence-based practice, the development of research capacity, and the evaluation and sustainability of interventions, all of which can be seen as benefits compared to other approaches. However, the methodology involves cycles of action, reflection, theory and practice, so it can be challenging to maintain momentum when engaging with teams over long periods of time.

The development and validation of the Person-centred Practice Inventory-Student instrument: A modified Delphi study.

Background: Global health care policy and regulatory requirements indicate that nursing students must be prepared for person-centred practice. Despite this, there is no evidence of a theoretically derived instrument to measure students' perceptions of person-centred practice.

Objectives: To adapt the Person-centred Practice Inventory-Staff instrument for use with healthcare students and to test the adapted instrument.
