The impact of "Brexit" on nursing and health services: Editorial debate
In this issue of the International Journal of Nursing Studies we feature two editorials on the decision by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union (EU), one by McKee (2017) and the other by McCrae (2017), which present very different perspectives on the impact and implications of this so called “Brexit” for nursing and healthcare in the UK. The editorials illustrate the strength of feelings and ongoing debate that exists within the UK as arguments continue between so called “leavers” and “remainers”, as those who supported or opposed the vote to leave are commonly referred to.

Predictors of seasonal influenza vaccination behaviour among nurses and implications for interventions to increase vaccination uptake: A cross-sectional survey
Vaccination has been proven the most effective method to prevent seasonal influenza. Nurses ’ vaccination can provide protection against influenza not only for themselves but also for patients they take care of.

Increasing value and reducing waste by optimizing the development of complex interventions: enriching the development phase of the Medical Research Council (MRC) Framework
In recent years there has been much emphasis on ‘research waste’ caused by poor question selection, insufficient attention to previous research results, and avoidable weakness in research design, conduct and analysis.

Patient-centered care, nurse work environment and implicit rationing of nursing care in Swiss acute care hospitals: A cross-sectional multi-center study
Patient-centered care is a key element of high-quality healthcare and determined by individual, structural and process factors. Patient-centered care is associated with improved patient-reported, clinical and economic outcomes. However, while hospital-level characteristics influence patient-centered care, little evidence is available on the association of patient-centered care with characteristic such as the nurse work environment or implicit rationing of nursing care.
