Mental ill ‐health among adult patients at healthcare centres in Sweden: district nurses experiences
ConclusionWorking as a DN requires formal and informal competence when encountering patients with complex health needs.

Physiological benefits to parents from undertaking skin ‐to‐skin contact with their neonate, in a neonatal intensive special care unit
There has been increased focus on the use of family‐centred care interventions, such as skin‐to‐skin contact (SSC) in Neonatal Intensive Special Care (NISC) Units over the past two decades.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect that SSC between parent and their neonate has on the parent's heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP).

My reflections on compassion as being essential in caring are grounded not only in caring science but also in research from other disciplines, as a means of exploring why we need compassion in caring from different perspectives. My conclusion is that in changing times, where patients as well as car...
