Mobilising knowledge with nurses practicing during the Covid-19 pandemic
To better support nurses’ psychological wellbeing during future pandemics and inform healthcare policy, knowledge mobilisation occurred through development strategies. • Knowledge mobilisation activities are crucial for developing impact pathways by collaborating with key stakeholders to share knowledges and find solutions to workplace challenges. • Four knowledge mobilisation activities were included: a film preview, sharing biographical objects…
Self, interpersonal and organisational acts of compassion amongst nurses during times of acute stress
There is a global shortage of nurses and new strategies are required to recruit, support and retain this staff group. Organisational culture can have a significant impact on staff wellbeing and commitment. Recent years have seen attempts to foster a compassionate culture across healthcare systems. However, little is known about how nurses initiate self-care and how they feel cared for by their organisation, particularly in times of acute stress a…
Navigating the Labour Market
Job seeking is a crucial yet overlooked process through which people navigate the world of work. Yet there remains limited qualitative research examining the complex and nuanced experiences of job seekers in a contemporary labour market. This article explores 38 interviews with job-seeking women in England, all of whom were interviewed over a six-month period. Using a postfeminist sensibility, findings revealed an oscillation between empowerment …
The story of this special issue on critical perspectives in work and organizational psychology
In this editorial, we tell the story of how the Special Issue on Critical Perspectives in Work and Organizational Psychology (CWOP) came about, how it fits within the broader agenda of building a critical community within Work and Organizational Psychology, and how future research and thought may be inspired by the collection of critical papers related to work and organizational psychology. We introduce the term “criticalizing” as a key concept i…
What Is the Matter With Me?” or a “Badge of Honor”
It has long been known that nursing work is challenging and has the potential for negative impacts. During the COVID-19 pandemic most nurses' working landscapes altered dramatically and many faced unprecedented challenges. Resilience is a contested term that has been used with increasing prevalence in healthcare with health professionals encouraging a "tool-box" of stress management techniques and resilience-building skills. Drawing on narrative …
Working with colleagues and other professionals when caring for people with dementia at the end of life
Caring for people with dementia often necessitates inter-professional and inter-agency working but there is limited evidence of how home care staff work as a team and with professionals from different agencies. Through analysis of semi-structured interviews, we explored the experiences of home care workers ( n = 30) and managers of home care services ( n = 13) in England (2016–17). Both groups sought to collaboratively establish formal and inform…
The need for flexibility when negotiating professional boundaries in the context of home care, dementia and end of life
Professional boundaries may help care staff to clarify their role, manage risk and safeguard vulnerable clients. Yet there is a scarcity of evidence on how professional boundaries are negotiated in a non-clinical environment ( e.g. the home) by the home-care workforce in the context of complex care needs ( e.g. dementia, end-of-life care). Through analysis of semi-structured interviews, we investigated the experiences of home-care workers (N = 30…

The Patient with Cancer — His Changing Pattern of Communication
ALMOST every physician will admit that he is uncomfortable when he faces a patient with cancer. What is he going to say? What does the patient want to hear, to know? Observations suggest that the physician can lighten this burden by seeking guidance from the patient. For it is the patient himself who offers the clues to how much, how little or how often he wishes to discuss his diagnosis and prognosis. What, then, is the mode of communication bet…
Factors Related to Hospital Readmission of Elderly Cardiac Patients
Elderly patients with cardiac disease are at high risk for physical deterioration during posthospital recovery and suffer frequent early readmission. This study found that mental status and posthospital stress were significantly related to early readmission
A Photographic Survey of Lateral Cradling Preferences in Black and White Women
The lateral cradling biases of Black and White women were examined by surveying photographs of women holding infants. The photographs were taken from a number of Black- and White-orientated popular periodicals. A systematic leftward bias in cradling was found in both Black and White women, suggesting that left-sided cradling is a universal maternal behaviour. The results were discussed in terms of their significance for a biogenetic model of the …
