1. The Bully at work: What you can do to stop the hurt and reclaim your dignity on the job
Namie, G. & Namie, R.
Published 2009.
Gary and Ruth Namie, pioneers of the Campaign Against Workplace Bullying, teach the reader personal strategies to identify allies, build their confidence, deal with toxic behavior, and stand up to the tormentor ? or decide when to walk away with their sanity and dignity intact.
2. Conservational wisdom: Strengthening human connection through the power of conversation
Cosgrove, E. & Hope, S.
Published 2023.
Conversations carry the greatest potential to impact culture, performance, brand, and engagement. Yet conversation is an under-rated and under-developed skill. Emily Cosgrove and Sara Hope have spent the last 25 years helping people and organisations strengthen human connection through the power of conversation. Drawing on their experience of working with organisations from global jewellers to charities, professional services to B Corporations, they share a wealth of tips, tools, stories, and case studies.
3. Still counting: Wellbeing, women's work and policy-making
Waring, Marilyn
Published 2018, Reprinted 2019, 2020.
Thirty years ago Marilyn Waring's groundbreaking book Counting for Nothing was released. Waring explained, through meticulous economic analysis, how the success of the global economy rests on women s unpaid work. Today, many people hope that the shift to a wellbeing approach - moving beyond narrow economic indicators when assessing New Zealand's progress - will mean women's work is finally valued fairly. But what does Marilyn Waring make of it?
4. Tax and fairness
Russell, D & Baucher, T.
Published 2017.
The world has changed a lot in the last thirty years, but New Zealand's tax system hasn't. Since the 1980s New Zealand's taxation policy has remained the same, despite substantial economic and social changes. The system may be familiar, but is it fair? Deborah Russell and Terry Baucher's lively analysis shows why answers to this question cut to the heart of whether New Zealand can be considered an egalitarian country.

5. Airborne transmission of respiratory viruses
Science [Journal], 27 Aug 2021, Vol 373, Issue 6558.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted controversies and unknowns about how respiratory pathogens spread between hosts. Traditionally, it was thought that respiratory pathogens spread between people through large droplets produced in coughs and through contact with contaminated surfaces (fomites). However, several respiratory pathogens are known to spread through small respiratory aerosols, which can float and travel in air flows, infecting people who inhale them at short and long distances from the infected person.

6. Gender-affirming continence care: offering dignity to all patients
By Sarah Murray & Laura (Poppy) Elsegood
Nursing Times, 12 August, 2024.
This article considers some of the literature on the conflicting experiences gender can present in health and care outcomes, explores the commonalities that may exist, and shares one practitioner's insight in ensuring gender-affirming care is offered in the setting of specialist bladder and bowel services.
7. How to assess and examine a patient with abdominal symptoms
By Josey-Marie Coaten
Nursing Times, 29 July, 2024.
This article presents a systematic approach to assessing and examining a patient presenting with abdominal symptoms to allow you to give a working diagnosis and guide clinical management. This includes how to take a thorough history and examine the abdomen using the inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation framework, with a focus on the non-deteriorating patient.
8. Understanding the causes, symptoms and treatments of anaemias
ByJohn Knight and Yamni Nigam
Nursing Times, 29 July, 2024.
Anaemia is the most common blood disorder, affecting around one third of the global population in its different forms (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), 2023a). In the first of a series of articles exploring the pathophysiology of the blood and bone marrow, we discuss common forms of anaemia encountered by nurses in clinical practice.
9. Vaccination: school nurses' and children's attitudes and concerns
By William Roberts, Sharon White, Fernanda Aguilar Perez, Qalam Eusuf, Philip Satherley & Rachel Ramsey
Nursing Times, 08 July, 2024.
To identify school-aged children's attitudes towards vaccination and whether this impacts school nurses' practice, we conducted a survey of children and a questionnaire for school nurses. This revealed that the children mostly trusted vaccines and thought they were important; however, attitudes varied by ethnicity.

10. Editorial: Why we all need to talk more openly about death
Zena Aldridge
Nursing Older People. (2024, July). 36 (4), 5-5. doi: 10.7748/nop.36.4.5.s1.
A woman living with dementia once told me that she had tried to discuss her declining health with several health and social care professionals. She was in her nineties with multiple long-term conditions and aware she was approaching the end of her life. She began these discussions by saying: I won't be here this time next year. This was often met with a response such as: Don't be silly, you will outlive us all. The absurdity made her laugh.
11. Supporting older adults who misuse alcohol
Caroline Jane Davenport & Rachael Craven
Nursing Older People, doi: 10.7748/nop.2024.e1469.
The literature identifies alcohol misuse as a growing issue in this population. However, the stigma, perceptions and patterns of drinking associated with alcohol misuse among older people can be a barrier to individuals seeking health advice. This article identifies that older adulthood is a period when nurses can offer health education and support using their unique relationships with patients to encourage healthy drinking behaviours.
12. Perceptions of the use of terms of endearment among older adults in an assisted living facility
Kendra Schmitz., Susan Lombardo & Catherine Szabo
Nursing Older People. doi: 10.7748/nop.2024.e1467.
Elderspeak has been defined as a form of communication overaccommodation used with older adults that typically involves inappropriate simplified speech. One aspect of elderspeak is the use of terms of endearment such as honey , sweetie and dear . There is disagreement regarding the use of terms of endearment with older adults, with differing views on whether it is beneficial or harmful.
13. Incorporating advance care planning in dementia care
Dionysios Giotas & Karen Harrison Dening
Nursing Older People. doi: 10.7748/nop.2024.e1463.
Although ACP discussions should be initiated as soon as possible after a diagnosis of dementia, there are other opportunities and transition points in the person's care during which health and social care professionals could promote, engage in and support ACP discussions. This article considers the importance of ACP in dementia care and uses a case study to explore opportunities for initiating and engaging in ACP with people with dementia.
14. What are the components of healthy ageing?
Vivian Zinyemba
Nursing Older People. (2024, July). 36(4), 18-19. doi: 10.7748/nop.36.4.18.s8.
Nurses awareness of these components can help improve older people's well-being. Healthy ageing is defined as the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables well-being in older age (World Health Organization 2015)

15. Unraveling the missing piece in children's health equity
Mai Hussein
Journal of Pediatric Health Care (2024). 38(4), 454-455.
Childhood health inequalities manifest in various forms as; access to quality health care, nutritious food, safe environments, and educational resources which significantly impact children's physical and mental well-being (McCartney et al., 2021 ). In addition, these disparities disproportionately affect marginalized communities, perpetuating a cycle of disadvantage and hindering their potential for success in adulthood.
16. Exploring hesitancy, motivations, and practical issues for COVID-19 vaccination among vaccine-hesitant adopter parents using the iIncreasing vaccination model
Rachel S. Purvis., Ramey Moore., Don E. Willis., Ji Li., James P. Selig., Shashank Kraleti., Tabasum Imran & Pearl A. McElfish
Journal of Pediatric Health Care (2024). 38(4), 456-467.
COVID-19 vaccination coverage among children remains low, and many parents report being hesitant to get their children vaccinated. This study explores factors influencing hesitancy and the facilitators that helped hesitant adopter parents choose to vaccinate their children against COVID-19 despite their hesitancy.
17. Understanding HPV vaccine hesitancy and what helped hesitant adopter parents have their children vaccinated despite their hesitancy
Purvis, Rachel S., Moore, Ramey., Willis, Don E., Li, Ji., Kraleti, Shashank., Imran, Tabasum & McElfish, Pearl A.
Journal of Pediatric Health Care (2024). 38(4), 468-479.
This is the first study of hesitant adopter parents that expands our understanding of factors driving HPV vaccination among them. Study insights can inform future efforts to increase HPV vaccine uptake among the hesitant.
18. Preventing Inpatient NP burnout: the power of adequate staffing and leadership
Rebecca John., Melisa Hill., Lauren Kanamori., Robyn Lao., Lois Sayrs., Rachael L. Stottlemyre & Tricia Morphew
Journal of Pediatric Health Care (2024). 38(4), 497-504.
Though limited by a small convenience sample, a patient-to-provider ratio over 5:1 was associated with NP burnout, and NP leadership was protective. Further research of cost analysis, retention, and patient quality and safety measures are needed.
19. Prevalence of complementary medicine use in children and adolescents: A systematic review
Matthew J. Leach., Yasamin Veziari., Charlotte Flanagan & Janet Schloss
Journal of Pediatric Health Care (2024). 38(4), 505-519.
The objective of this systematic review was to determine the global prevalence of complementary medicine (CM) use among children and adolescents. Seven databases and the reference lists of included studies were searched for pertinent observational studies. Studies were limited to those published in English from July 1, 2013.
20. Perceptions related to death in adolescents and their parents during the management of Type 1 Diabetes: A thematic analysis
Pamela Farthing, Jill Bally & Donna C. Rennie
Journal of Pediatric Health Care (2024). 38(4), 586-594.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with an increased risk of premature death compared to those without T1D, yet perceptions of dying have not been well studied. The purpose of this secondary analysis of existing data was to explore the fears of adolescents with T1D and their parents related to the possibility of death due to T1D.

21. Identifying patterns and profiles of vaccination hesitancy among nurses for tailoring healthcare policies in the UK: A cross-sectional study
Goran Erfani., Jemma McCready., Bethany Nichol., Charlotte Gordon., John Unsworth., Michelle Croston., Dania Comparcini., Valentina Simonetti., Giancarlo Cicolini., Kristina Mikkonen., Jeremia Keisala & Marco Tomietto
First published 19 August 2024: https://doi.org/10.1111/inr.13035.
In many countries across the world, healthcare workers, and nurses in particular, display significant reluctance toward COVID-19 and influenza vaccines due to concerns about safety, distrust in healthcare policies, and media influences. To address this, a proposed approach involves profiling nurses to tailor vaccination campaigns and to improve acceptance rates and public health outcomes.
22. Assessing workplace well-being in healthcare: The violence-prevention climate and its relationship with workplace happiness
Ahmet Y. Yesildag., Ayten Turan Kurtaran & Ferit Sevim
First published 14 August 2024: https://doi.org/10.1111/inr.13026.
Aim: To identify the relationship between the violence-prevention climate and workplace happiness in hospitals. The secondary objective is to adapt a valid and reliable scale to a different culture in healthcare settings.

25. Qualitative systematic review: The lived experiences of males in the nursing profession on gender discrimination encounters
Matthew Ng., Celine See & Jeanette Ignacio
International Nursing Review (INR), 71(3), 468-483.
The underrepresentation of males within the nursing profession could potentially cause discrimination and stereotypes against them, causing barriers to entry into, and retention within, the profession. With a shortage in manpower, the deterrence of males to nursing might exacerbate the existing manpower shortage. This review consolidates and highlights the lived experiences of males in the profession.
26. Relationship between structural empowerment and job satisfaction among nurses: A meta-analysis
Hande Yesilbas & Filiz Kantek
International Nursing Review (INR), 71(3), 484-491.
Job satisfaction is considered to be a global concern. It is also essential to improve the quality of patient care and promote nurse retention. Structural empowerment of nurses can be an important factor in ensuring nurses' job satisfaction.
