The value of industrial relations research(ers): Activism inside and outside the UK Academy
Authors: Thomas Huw , Turnbull Peter 
Published: February 2024

AbstractBased on an in‐depth study of the lived experiences of industrial relations (IR) researchers in the United Kingdom, we demonstrate that IR has survived and thrived as a result of activism both inside and outside the academy. By adapting teaching and research to reflect the contemporary problems for labor, appropriating the study of human resource management, and creating synergies between service, teaching and learning, and both pure and applied research, the field of IR has experienced renewed intellectual vitality. The activism of IR academics in the United Kingdom signifies a promising future and an experience that IR research(ers) elsewhere can draw on.
Political protection: The case of large‐scale oil spills and the stock prices of energy firms

Published: February 2024

AbstractIn this study, we utilize a sample of publicly traded US energy firms to investigate the stock market responses to 40 large‐scale oil spills. Our findings reveal that the stock prices of extraction and refining firms experience significant declines during the periods surrounding these oil spill incidents, and energy pipeline firms exhibit a relatively smaller decrease. These results underscore the risk exposure shared by all energy firms, irrespective of their direct involvement in the oil spill incident. Furthermore, our study uncovers an intriguing dynamic—the influence of political connections established through lobbying activities. We observe that these political ties serve to significantly mitigate the negative market reactions to oil spills. Our results suggest that, from the market's perspective, firms with political connections are less vulnerable to the impending costs associated with oil spills when compared to their non‐politically connected counterparts.
Phenotypic variability for early drought stress resistance in tetraploid wheat accessions correlates with terminal drought performance

Published: February 2024

AbstractDurum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is a fundamental staple food for the countries of the Mediterranean basin. Climate change is predicted to cause a trend of increasing drought severity in this region in the near future, necessitating the improvement of durum wheat's resilience to drought stress. Using polyethylene glycol to simulate water scarcity, early vigour parameters in germinating seeds are quickly, easily and affordably assessed. Many screenings, however, only consider the seedling stage; consequently, genotypes identified as promising for cultivation in drought scenarios, may not show such features if drought appears in later phenological phases, as happens in Mediterranean climatic areas, generally prone to terminal drought. The correlation between drought stress resistance during the seedling stage (early vigour) and later stages in the life cycle is elusive due to the lack of scientific efforts. Here we used polyethylene glycol screening to classify fifty‐five tetraploid wheat accessions into three clusters (susceptible, medium resistant and highly resistant to drought), based on morpho‐physiological traits. These accessions included durum wheat cultivars and landraces, as well as ancestors like durum emmer wheat and wild emmer wheat. The results of the screenings were combined with subsequent pot experiments using nine randomly selected accessions, imposing terminal drought, and evaluating their performance. Principal component analysis was performed on data for net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration and grain yield. Notably, the genotypes that performed best in the pot experiments were also those that performed well in the screening. Highly resistant candidates had in fact higher physiological and performance parameters than susceptible candidates. In summary, polyethylene glycol screening of germinating seeds resulted to be suitable to predictively evaluate drought resistance in tetraploid wheat accessions under terminal drought conditions, typical of Mediterranean climate zones. The reported data, thus evidence of how this inexpensive and simple method might be efficiently applied for large‐scale phenotyping.
A comparative vignette study: Evaluating the potential role of a generative AI model in enhancing clinical decision‐making in nursing
Authors: Saban Mor , Dubovi Ilana 
Published: February 2024

AbstractAimThis study explores the potential of a generative artificial intelligence tool (ChatGPT) as clinical support for nurses. Specifically, we aim to assess whether ChatGPT can demonstrate clinical decision‐making equivalent to that of expert nurses and novice nursing students. This will be evaluated by comparing ChatGPT responses to clinical scenarios to those of nurses on different levels of experience.DesignThis is a cross‐sectional study.MethodsEmergency room registered nurses (i.e. experts; n = 30) and nursing students (i.e. novices; n = 38) were recruited during March–April 2023. Clinical decision‐making was measured using three validated clinical scenarios involving an initial assessment and reevaluation. Clinical decision‐making aspects assessed were the accuracy of initial assessments, the appropriateness of recommended tests and resource use and the capacity to reevaluate decisions. Performance was also compared by timing response generations and word counts. Expert nurses and novice students completed online questionnaires (via Qualtrics), while ChatGPT responses were obtained from OpenAI.ResultsConcerning aspects of clinical decision‐making and compared to novices and experts: (1) ChatGPT exhibited indecisiveness in initial assessments; (2) ChatGPT tended to suggest unnecessary diagnostic tests; (3) When new information required re‐evaluation, ChatGPT responses demonstrated inaccurate understanding and inappropriate modifications. In terms of performance, the mean number of words utilized in ChatGPT answers was 27–41 times greater than that utilized by both experts and novices; and responses were provided approximately 4 times faster than those of novices and twice faster than expert nurses. ChatGPT responses maintained logical structure and clarity.ConclusionsA generative AI tool demonstrated indecisiveness and a tendency towards over‐triage compared to human clinicians.ImpactThe study shows that it is important to approach the implementation of ChatGPT as a nurse's digital assistant with caution. More study is needed to optimize the model's training and algorithms to provide accurate healthcare support that aids clinical decision‐making.Reporting methodThis study adhered to relevant EQUATOR guidelines for reporting observational studies.Patient or public contributionPatients were not directly involved in the conduct of this study.

Published: February 2024

AbstractAimsTo understand specialized nurses' role in the culture of patient safety and their ability to promote and enforce it within healthcare.DesignA systematic integrative review using the approach of Whittemore and Knafl.MethodsSystematic literature search for qualitative, quantitative and mixed‐methods studies, followed by data evaluation, quality assessment, analysis and research synthesis with a narrative perspective. Findings were contextualized within a ‘framework for understanding the development of patient safety culture’.Data SourcesSearches were conducted in PubMed [including MEDLINE], Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science and EMBASE from Jan 2013 until Sep 2023.ResultsSixteen studies published in English from six different countries were selected and used for research synthesis. Diverse enabling factors and enacting behaviours influencing specialized nurses' roles to promote patient safety culture were identified, mainly focusing on nurses' workload, professional experiences and organizational commitment. Patient safety outcomes focused on medication management, infection prevention, surveillance process in critical care, oversight on quality and safety of nurses' practice, patient care management, continuity of care, adherence to the treatment plan and implementation of a specialized therapeutic procedure.ConclusionSpecialized nurses can make a significant contribution to promote patient safety culture and support organizational initiatives to prevent adverse events.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareStronger participation and leadership of specialized nurses in initiatives to improve patient safety culture requires appropriate investments and support by policy makers and managers in terms of resources and training.ImpactThere is a gap in existing literature on the contribution that specialized nurses can make in promoting patient safety culture. Review results highlight the importance of interprofessional collaboration and teamwork by involving specialized nurses. They inform healthcare policy makers about recognizing their roles and competencies in patient safety culture.Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta‐analysis.No patient or public contribution.

AbstractAimTo systemically identify and synthesize information on health professionals’ and students’ perceptions regarding the development needs of incident reporting software.DesignA systematic review of qualitative studies.Data SourcesA database search was conducted using Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science and Medic without time or language limits in February 2023.Review methodsA total of 4359 studies were identified. Qualitative studies concerning the perceptions of health professionals and students regarding the development needs of incident reporting software were included, based on screening and critical appraisal by two independent reviewers. A thematic synthesis was conducted.ResultsFrom 10 included studies, five analytical themes were analysed. Health professionals and students desired the following improvements or changes to incident reporting software: (1) the design of reporting software, (2) the anonymity of reporting, (3) the accessibility of reporting software, (4) the classification of fields and answer options and (5) feedback and tracking of reports. Wanted features included suitable reporting forms for various specialized fields that could be integrated into existing hospital information systems. Rapid, user‐friendly reporting software using multiple reporting platforms and with flexible fields and predefined answer options was preferred. While anonymous reporting was favoured, the idea of reporting serious incidents with both patient and reporter names was also suggested.ConclusionHealth professionals and students provided concrete insights into the development needs for reporting software. Considering the underreporting of healthcare cases, the perspectives of healthcare professionals must be considered while developing user‐friendly reporting tools. Reporting software that facilitates the reporting process could reduce underreporting.Reporting MethodThe ENTREQ reporting guideline was used to support the reporting of this systematic review.Patient or Public ContributionThere was no patient or public contribution.Protocol RegistrationThe protocol is registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews with register number CRD42023393804.
Mapping the duration and severity of preschool‐aged children's depressive moods and behaviors

Published: February 2024

BackgroundDepressive moods and behaviors are developmentally normative, yet potentially impairing, in preschool‐aged children. In addition to frequency, duration of behavior is an important parameter to consider when characterizing risk for worsening mood dysregulation. The goal of this study was to identify the duration and severity of depressive moods and behaviors and associations with impairment in a large community sample of preschool‐aged children using an online parent‐report daily diary.MethodsPrimary caregivers (N = 900) of 3–5‐year‐old children reported the daily duration of each instance of seven depressive moods and behaviors for 14 days. We used item response theory analyses to examine duration item characteristics.ResultsMoods and behaviors occurred at specific durations to be considered psychometrically severe/rare; for example, instances of sadness had to last an average total of 32 min per day or more, irritability at least 38 min, tantrums at least 30 min, and tearfulness/sensitivity at least 35 min. Longer durations of mood and behavior were associated with daily impairment, as well as older child age and less parental education.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first study to delineate specific duration ranges for depressive moods and behaviors in preschool‐aged children. These data, coupled with information about the frequency of mood‐related behaviors, can assist child practitioners in differentiating normative patterns from less normative mood problems to evaluate which children may be at risk. Future work should identify the duration of depressive moods and behaviors in early childhood that predict clinically significant psychopathology over time.

ABSTRACTThe gold standard for measuring insulin sensitivity (IS) is the hyperinsulinemic–euglycemic clamp, a time, costly, and labor‐intensive research tool. A low insulin sensitivity is associated with a complication‐risk in type 1 diabetes. Various formulae using clinical data have been developed and correlated with measured IS in type 1 diabetes. We consolidated multiple formulae into an online calculator (bit.ly/estimated‐GDR), enabling comparison of IS and its probability of IS <4.45 mg/kg/min (low) or >6.50 mg/kg/min (high), as measured in a validation set of clamps in 104 adults with type 1 diabetes. Insulin sensitivity calculations using different formulae varied significantly, with correlations (R2) ranging 0.005–0.87 with agreement in detecting low and high glucose disposal rates in the range 49–93% and 89–100%, respectively. We demonstrate that although the calculated IS varies between formulae, their interpretation remains consistent. Our free online calculator offers a user‐friendly tool for individual IS calculations and also offers efficient batch processing of data for research.
Caution: Do Not Cross! Distance to Regulatory Capital Buffers and Corporate Lending in a Downturn

Published: February 2024

AbstractWhile banks are expected to draw down regulatory capital buffers in case of need during a crisis, we find that banks kept at a safe distance from regulatory buffers during the pandemic by procyclically reducing corporate lending. By exploiting granular credit register data, we show that banks with little capital headroom above their buffers reduced credit supply and that this behavior was amplified for banks that entered the crisis with larger undrawn credit lines. Affected firms were unable to fully rebalance their borrowing needs with other banks, although public guarantees mitigated banks' procyclical behavior and its real effect at the firm level. These findings raise concerns that the capital buffers introduced by Basel III may not be as countercyclical as intended.

AbstractAimTo determine the association between nurse and institutional characteristics and perceived professional nurse knowledge and self‐efficacy of reporting child abuse and neglect.DesignA sample of N = 166 nurses were recruited to respond to the Reporting of Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect (RSCAN) survey.MethodsA multiple linear regression examined whether nurse characteristics and institutional characteristics were associated with the two RSCAN survey domain scores.ResultsPerceived knowledge of a workplace child abuse and neglect protocol was associated with the knowledge subscale. Education and child abuse and neglect expertise were significant predictors of the self‐efficacy subscale. Nurses with a master's or higher degree and those who identified as being either forensic, paediatric or Emergency Department nurses, had less perceived institutional barriers to self‐efficacy of reporting child abuse and neglect.ConclusionThis study provides a preliminary insight into the institutional barriers and facilitators of nurses as child abuse and neglect mandated reporters.Implications for the profession and/or patient careTo encourage innovative education and collaborations to support nurses as fully informed child abuse and neglect mandated reporters.ImpactThis research identifies the gaps and facilitators of nurses as child abuse and neglect mandated reporters to inform healthcare professionals and academic institutions on the importance of nurse education and experience in nurse knowledge and self‐efficacy in reporting suspected child abuse and neglect.Reporting methodsThe authors of this study have adhered to relevant EQUATOR guidelines: STROBE.Patient or public contributionThere is no patient or public contribution as the study only looked at nurses.
First‐trimester preterm preeclampsia prediction model for prevention with low‐dose aspirin
Authors: Pooh Ritsuko Kimata 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIntroductionPreeclampsia (PE) is a major maternal and fetal threat. Previous risk‐scoring methods in guidelines lacked precision. The Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) proposed a first‐trimester PE screening model using Bayes' theorem.PE Prediction ModelFMF prediction model combines maternal characteristics and medical/obstetrical history to determine prior risk and further incorporate maternal blood pressure, maternal serum biomarkers, and uterine Doppler pulsatility index expressed as multiples of the median (MoM) to estimate posterior risk.Low‐Dose Aspirin PreventionLow‐dose aspirin is one of the potential PE prevention strategies. Initiating it before 16 weeks is crucial. Aspirin's antiplatelet and anti‐inflammatory properties align with PE's pathophysiology. Dosing and resistance warrant further study, but a standard regimen of 150 mg nightly, starting before 16 weeks, is widely supported.PE Prevention in PracticeClinical trials, including ASPRE, affirm aspirin's role in PE prevention. Starting aspirin based on FMF screening significantly reduces preterm PE and associated complications.Advancements and ProspectsEmerging research explores predictors like maternal ophthalmic arterial waveform. Regional variations, especially in Asian populations, are considered. Machine learning and AI show promise, but examiner expertise remains essential for accurate prediction.In conclusion, integrating FMF's first‐trimester PE screening with low‐dose aspirin offers a promising strategy. Further advancements may enhance precision and broaden prevention efforts.
Using mixed methods approaches to study families and relationships
Authors: Thomeer Mieke Beth , Brantley Mia , Hernandez Elaine M. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractMixed methods research—methodologies that synthesize qualitative and quantitative approaches in the design, collection, analysis, and dissemination of research related to a specific topic or aim—is increasingly common, offering innovative empirical insight into families and relationships. We first elaborate on our definition of mixed methods research, emphasizing that there is significant heterogeneity within mixed methods approaches to studying families and relationships. Second, we discuss benefits of mixed methods projects within family and relationship research, including theory building and innovation. Third, we provide practical suggestions for designing and implementing a mixed methods project, highlighting useful resources for researchers as they develop research questions, plan designs, collect and analyze data, and disseminate findings. We emphasize the unique opportunities from abductive analytic approaches for mixed methods researchers and point to the need for reflexivity. Fourth, we consider common obstacles associated with disseminating mixed methods research and explain why family researchers need “mixed methods literacy” regardless of their research paradigm. Finally, we identify key areas of future growth for mixed methods researchers. We advocate that understanding mixed methods research has practical benefits, even for researchers not using these approaches. To cohesively build—and critique—our knowledge of families and relationships, family and relationship researchers across paradigms should be familiar with the basic tenets, strengths, and limitations of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research.

AbstractObjectiveAs the participation of dental professionals in multidisciplinary care is often limited, instructions on oral health management provided by dental professionals to other professionals are important to achieve transdisciplinary oral health management; however, the effectiveness of such instructions remains unclear. In this longitudinal study, we aimed to determine the impact of oral health management provided by dental professionals and nurses instructed on oral health management by dental professionals on the oral health of inpatients eligible for a Nurition Support Team (NST).MethodsThe study participants were 117 patients (66 men and 51 women, mean age: 71.9 ± 12.5 years) who received oral health management during the NST intervention period. The participants received oral health management from nurses (Ns group) or dental professionals (D group). The nurses who conducted the oral health management received instructions from dental professionals. Oral health was assessed at the beginning and end of the NST intervention using the Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT).ResultThe Ns and D groups showed significant improvements in the total OHAT scores at the end of the NST intervention. Both groups showed significant improvements in the OHAT subitems of lip, tongue, gums and tissues, saliva, oral cleanliness and dental pain, while only the D group showed a significant improvement in the denture subitem.ConclusionEffective oral health management provided by dental professionals or by nurses trained by them improved the oral health status of inpatients eligible for NST at an acute‐care hospital.
