Predictors of change in social networks, support and satisfaction following a first episode psychosis: a cohort study
Diminished social networks are common in psychosis but few studies have measured these comprehensively and prospectively to determine how networks and support evolve during the early phase. There is little information regarding perceived support in the early phase of illness. The aim of this study was to describe social support, networks and perceived satisfaction, explore the clinical correlates of these outcomes and examine whether phases of untreated psychosis are linked with social network variables to determine potential opportunities for intervention.

Nurse-led immunotreatment DEcision Coaching In people with Multiple Sclerosis (DECIMS) – Feasibility testing, pilot randomised controlled trial and mixed methods process evaluation

Do nurses ’ personal health behaviours impact on their health promotion practice? A systematic review
There is a growing expectation in national and international policy and from professional bodies that nurses be role models for healthy behaviours, the rationale being that there is a relationship between nurses ’ personal health and the adoption of healthier behaviours by patients. This may be from patients being motivated by, and modelling, the visible healthy lifestyle of the nurse or that nurses are more willing to promote the health of their patients by offering public health or health promotion advi ce and referring the patient to support services.

Nurses ’ personal and ward accountability and missed nursing care: A cross-sectional study
Missed nursing care is considered an act of omission with potentially detrimental consequences for patients, nurses, and organizations. Although the theoretical conceptualization of missed nursing care specifies nurses ’ values, attitudes, and perceptions of their work environment as its core antecedents, empirical studies have mainly focused on nurses’ socio-demographic and professional attributes. Furthermore, assessment of missed nursing care has been mainly based on same-source methods. (Source: International Journal of Nursing Studies)
