Nurses' perceptions and experiences of caring for patients who die in the emergency department setting.

Introduction: The number of people dying in emergency departments (EDs) is increasing. However, EDs are not well designed or resourced for safe and effective End-Of-Life (EOL) care encounters, and there is little evidence regarding clinicians' perceptions and experiences of providing such care when the death is sudden and unexpected.

Aim: This study explored nurses' perceptions and experiences of caring for patients who die suddenly and unexpectedly in the ED.

Understanding how nurse managers see their role in supporting ICU nurse well-being-A case study.

Aim: To explore how nurse managers perceive and experience their role in supporting the well-being of intensive care nurses.

Background: While it is known that nurse manager behaviours affect nurse well-being, literature indicates that intensive care nurses may not receive the support they require. Understanding how nurse managers see their role in supporting nurse well-being is crucial to offer recommendations for improvement.

The perceived and experienced role of the nurse unit manager in supporting the wellbeing of intensive care unit nurses: An integrative literature review.

Introduction: The number of patients requiring admission into intensive care units (ICUs) is increasing worldwide. Concurrently, recruitment and retention of the ICU nursing workforce is becoming a major challenge due to the high intensity environment, heavy workloads, and decreasing nurse wellbeing. Nurse unit managers play a vital role in promoting and supporting ICU nurse wellbeing, yet little is known about perceptions and experiences of this role.

Can Nursing Students Practice What Is Preached? Factors Impacting Graduating Nurses' Abilities and Achievement to Apply Evidence-Based Practices.

Background: In order to meet national Australian nursing registration requisites, nurses need to meet competency requirements for evidence-based practices (EBPs).

Aims: A hypothetical model was formulated to explore factors that influenced Australian nursing students' ability and achievement to understand and employ EBPs related to health care provision.

Methods: A nonexperimental, descriptive survey method was used to identify self-reported EBP efficacy estimates of 375 completing undergraduate nursing students.

Coding, Constant Comparisons, and Core Categories: A Worked Example for Novice Constructivist Grounded Theorists.

Grounded theory method has been described extensively in the literature. Yet, the varying processes portrayed can be confusing for novice grounded theorists. This article provides a worked example of the data analysis phase of a constructivist grounded theory study that examined family presence during resuscitation in acute health care settings.

Experiences of registered nurses who supervise international nursing students in the clinical and classroom setting: an integrative literature review.

Aims And Objectives: To examine the literature reporting the experiences and perceptions of registered nurses who supervise international nursing students in the clinical and classroom setting.

Background: Nursing education relies on clinical experts to supervise students during classroom and clinical education, and the quality of that supervision has a significant impact on student development and learning. Global migration and internationalisation of nursing education have led to increasing numbers of registered nurses supervising international nursing students.

Nurses' experiences of the hospitalisation of their own children for acute illnesses.

Background: The hospitalisation of a child is a stressful event for parents. Parents who are also nurses may face additional challenges not encountered by other parents; yet, scant attention has been given to this issue in the literature.

Aim: To explore the experiences of Nurse-Parents whose children were hospitalised for acute illnesses.

Torn between dual roles: the experiences of nurse-family members when a loved one is hospitalised in a critical condition.

Aims And Objectives: To understand and interpret the experiences of nurse-family members when a family member or loved one is hospitalised in a critical condition.

Background: Having a family member hospitalised with a critical illness is a traumatic stressor, often with long-term sequelae. Providing holistic care for family members who are also nurses makes the provision of care more complex because of their professional expertise; yet few studies have explored this issue.

Nursing students' perceptions regarding the amount and type of written feedback required to enhance their learning.

Effective feedback can enhance student learning, but limited evidence exists on whether nursing students actually use and learn from written feedback. This descriptive survey explored nursing students' perceptions regarding the amount and type of written feedback required to enhance their learning. In stage one, 362 students completed a 28-item questionnaire regarding feedback experiences and preferences; in stage two, 227 students selected a preferred feedback option for a final topic assignment.

Qualitative systematic review: the unique experiences of the nurse-family member when a loved one is admitted with a critical illness.

Aim: To interpret and synthesize nurse-family member experiences when a critically ill loved one is admitted to hospital.

Background: Having a family member hospitalized in a critical condition is an important stressor. When the family member is also a nurse, the provision of care is more complex, yet little research exists on this issue.
