A generic qualitative research approach was used; eight PAC nurses were interviewed, with each interview lasting between 30 minutes and one hour. A salient finding related to the psychosocial dimension of nursing, with much of the data referring to the nurse-patient relationship pre and post-operatively. Three themes were identified: communication, being an advocate and being remembered. The findings suggest that PAC nurses have the opportunity to develop relationships with patients both pre-operatively when the patients arrive in the operating department and post-operatively. The findings may help to challenge existing beliefs that when patients are in the care of PAC nurses, they are unconscious and therefore unable to engage in dialogue with the nurse. While the findings reflect the views of PAC nurses only, operating department prac...

Within different countries problems exist in educating and supervising students in clinical practice and various models of clinical education are employed. In Wales, United Kingdom, this responsibility is divided between mentors, lecturer practitioners and link tutors. This paper reports on the third phase of a three-phase study in Wales to explore differences between mentors, lecturer practitioners and link tutors, and how they work together to assist students to integrate theory and practice. Four focus group interviews of National Health Service managers and Higher Education managers (n=22) were conducted. Qualitative content analysis revealed four themes: role characteristics and competencies, role differences, role conflict, and future options. The findings suggest a theory-practice continuum along which mentors, lecturer practitioners and link tutors occupy different positions. The article explores these...

This article aims to review the available literature on the use of portfolios. There needs to be a thorough evaluation of portfolios to determine their effectiveness as assessment tools in relation to the curriculum.

During the first stage, literature was searched using CINAHL and Medline databases and two models were used to frame the literature analysis. The findings of this analysis were, however, disappointing. Although many policy documents advocate development of the family-centred public health role of health visitors and the child-centred public health role of school nurses, there was no overwhelming evidence of reports of these approaches in health visiting and school nursing practice. The second stage of the review comprised a content analysis of West Midlands community trusts' strategic development plans. Seventeen plans were analysed. Of these, only two were 'formal' plans, the remainder being fragmented documentation related to plans for the development of health visiting and school nursing services. It may be concluded from the analysis that NHS trusts are beginning to adopt ideas from the rhetoric of national policy documents. Additionally, public health practice initiatives form an integrated part of most of the trust strategic development plans that the researchers examined.
