Violence towards Emergency Nurses. The Italian National Survey 2016: A qualitative study

The factors related to self-other agreement/disagreement in nursing competence assessment: Comparative and correlational study
While assessment made by nurses of themselves (self-assessment) and assessment made of them by others (other-assessment) provide unique and valuable information as to individual nurses ’ competence, the subjective nature of both assessments often causes a disagreement between them. This is problematic when educational interventions to foster nurses’ competence are designed. However, the question of what factors contribute to the self-other disagreement in competence assessment has rarely been investigated in nursing. (Source: International Journal of Nursing Studies)

Effects of aromatherapy on dysmenorrhea: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Menstrual pain is not a disease, but it is a problem that periodically makes women uncomfortable during menstrual cycles. There has been a continuing effort to alleviate menstrual cramps in the medical field. Aromatherapy, one of the alternative complementary therapies, has been used as a way to alleviate menstrual cramps, but there is still little evidence of how to use it. Therefore, in this study, we tried to find and provide the evidence of relieving effects of menstrual cramps. (Source: International Journal of Nursing Studies)

Brexit: A response to McCrae (2018)
In his defence of Brexit, Dr McCrae makes numerous statements that cannot go unchallenged (Mccrae, 2018). He begins with an upbeat assessment of the UK that will be unrecognisable to many informed observers elsewhere. The latest OECD Economic Outlook reports that, in 2017, the UK ties with Japan in having the lowest rate of economic growth of any major economy (OECD, 2017). Employment may be high but real wages are at the same level as in May 2006 (Office of National Statistics, 2017). Manufacturing, which now accounts for only 10% of the British economy, and tourism, have increased, but only because of the collapse in the...
