Initial Stage Corrosion of Nuclear Relevant Materials: A Study by Electron Spectroscopy and Scanning Probe Microscopy
Creators: name: Bacon, Simon
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Metals in the nuclear industry are often required to endure significant periods of storage or inactivity during their lifespan. A level of confidence is therefore required that they will retain the useful structural and functional properties in a given set of conditions for a given period of time. Corrosion is the primary means by which this is compromised for these materials. Studies regarding fundamental corrosion mechanisms can provide data to feed into overarching corrosion models that can predict behaviour with multiple variables (e.g. material grade, temperature, time, contamination type and amount, etc.). Firstly, early stage oxidation of a dilute depleted uranium-molybdenum alloy was analysed in situ under UHV conditions by AES and XPS. At the equivalent of less than 300 ns at 1 atm O2, U-5 wt. % Mo oxidises to form stoichiometric UO2. No molybdenum oxidation is observed. After an oxygen dose of approximately 39 L, the oxide layer approached a limiting thickness of approximately 2.4 nm. The oxidation kinetics followed a logarithmic rate law, with the best fit to the experimental data for the oxide thickness, d, being given by d = 1.26 log(0.12t + 0.56). Changes in oxygen KLL and 1s peak positions associated with transformation from chemisorbed oxygen to metal oxide were observed at similar oxygen doses of 2.3 and 2.6 L O2 by AES and XPS respectively, which opens up the possibility of using well characterised XPS chemical information to inform Auger peak shifts. A novel peak library tool was created with the primary purpose of rapid and accurate identification of Auger peaks. SKPFM was used in combination with optical microscopy and SEM/EDX to assess the range of second phase particle types (size, composition and practical nobility) in an S-65 beryllium sample and evaluate the effect of carbon contamination on corrosion of this material. Carbon deposited by thermal evaporation and pencil marks gave varying thicknesses and distributions of carbon on the surface, each with strong cathodic character with respect to the matrix, but causing no observable increase in corrosion. Pitting corrosion was shown to be associated with pre-existing second phase particles, especially in regions where pencil marking had disturbed the native oxide layer. An in situ technique for assessing the relative electrochemical behaviour of individual second phase particle types was sought to build on current knowledge of their chemical behaviour. Combinations of amperometric and potentiometric SECM methods were developed on model galvanic couple samples, before showing in situ cathodic behaviour of copper and iron containing second phase particles in a beryllium analogue sample, 7075 aluminium alloy (AA7075-T6), in agreement with the well characterised corrosion mechanism for these particle types. Preliminary results were obtained for S-65 beryllium, highlighting the capability of the method to resolve larger scale anodic features.

description: In this paper, a novel phase-error estimation technique for OFDM based WLAN system is proposed. The proposed technique utilizes superimposed (or embedded) pilots for phase-tracking within OFDM data packet. This leads to saving transmission bandwidth, which is lost in the conventional phase-error estimation schemes with dedicated pilot subcarriers. Moreover, we propose selective pilot mapping and decision feedback as different strategies of improving the performance of the proposed technique. Simulation results confirm that the proposed technique has a similar symbol error performance to that of conventional scheme, however with the advantage of data-rate increase.

DESCRIPTION
Phaceloid corallum with cylindrical corallites that seems to reproduce by extracalicular budding. Radial elements are free or joined, often wavy septa of fluctuating width with inner edge generally swollen. In most of the calices, the first cycles of septa are so enlarged that they link together into a ring that more or less completely encloses the lumen and separate it from the interseptal chambers. There are at least 3 distinct size orders of septa in the septal apparatus. Endotheca made of tabular dissepiments and wall probably parathecal. An epitheca s.l. wraps the corallites.

eDNAqua-Plan Milestone 8: Operational input from all use cases to the inventories made in T2.1 and T2.2

description: Environmental DNA has gained popularity in the last decades due to its non-invasive analysis options and efficacy on species detection. In addition, bulk DNA analyses have shown robust and reliable results for monitoring the aquatic environment. But, there is still a challenge posed by incomplete reference libraries which impedes correct identification of species missing from the database.

Currently, there are numerous independently managed DNA barcode reference libraries hosted by various institutions in different countries. They are either of general purpose (e.g. EMBL-EBI, NCBI) or focused on specific genetic markers (e.g. Barcode of Life Datasystems (BOLD) database), or on particular taxonomic groups (e.g. Protist Ribosomal Reference (PR2) database). Similarly, there is a high number of projects and initiatives, both formal and informal, funded regionally or at a national scale in various countries with the aim of generating reference sequences (e.g. GBOL, NorBOL). So far, there is no comprehensive overview of which taxonomic groups, geographic areas, markers and sampling procedures are covered across these projects and how much they overlap.

eDNAqua-Plan envisions the creation of a digital ecosystem by linking reference sequence libraries and DNA repositories available for Europe. As a prerequisite, an overview over existing resources including projects, platforms, and initiatives needs to be compiled. In a second step, work Package 4 pursues the goal to provide operational input and testing frameworks for using barcode reference libraries to its full potential. This involves leveraging a diverse array of DNA and eDNA-based marine and freshwater monitoring projects across Europe to gather information on current practices related to data collection, treatment and storage.  

eDNAqua-Plan has set as a Milestone, under the responsibility of Work Package 4, the selection of key datasets with their relevant metadata. In total, 19 datasets from eight institutes (EV ILVO, INRAE, WUR, UVEG, UDE, UNESCO, UMinho, BIOPOLIS) are available for testing and optimizing the digital ecosystem. These datasets gather a wide range of organisms that are used in monitoring programs and environmental impact assessments (bacteria, phytobenthos, macrozoobenthos and fish). The datasets cover oceans, seas, wetlands and riverine systems and different molecular methods and data (metabarcoding, metagenomics) and sequencing platforms (short vs. long read platforms). The use cases  ensure that the digital ecosystem will befit for DNA and eDNA-based aquatic research.

description: HERMES - Higher Education Research MEtrics System is a project of HEAL-Link (Hellenic Academic Libraries Link), the consortium of Greek Academic Libraries. The project aims at the development of a common set of tools and methods in order to gather, analyze and visualize the research publications of the Greek Universities. It is both a data visualization system and a lightweight methodology that produces transparent quantitative indicators. The relative advantage of the system is the 3D visualizations that are projected on common plain walls, which are turned interactive by the use of advanced sensing techniques. Users employ gestures to intuitively manipulate data on a very large scale. Thus, the application remains user-friendly, not requiring any special skills, ensuring high quality user experience (UX). Interactive graphic representations serve to make bibliometric data accessible, tractable, and digestible. The system produces fifteen primary key indicators that refer both to individuals and to collective bodies, such as Departments and Institutions. The main dimensions of measuring are productivity, sliced in time (one & three years) and in subject, response (citations) and collaborations.

description: Background: Studying how trophic traits and niche use are related in natural populations is important in order to understand adaptation and specialization. Here, we describe trophic trait diversity in twenty-five Norwegian freshwater threespine stickleback populations and their putative marine ancestor, and relate trait differences to postglacial lake age. By studying lakes of different ages, depths and distance to the sea we examine key environmental variables that may predict adaptation in trophic position and habitat use. We measured trophic traits including geometric landmarks that integrated variation in head shape as well as gillraker length and number. Trophic position (Tpos) and niche use (α) were estimated from stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N). A comparison of head shape was also made with two North American benthic-limnetic species pairs. Results We found that head shape differed between marine and freshwater sticklebacks, with marine sticklebacks having more upturned mouths, smaller eyes, larger opercula and deeper heads. Size-adjusted gillraker lengths were larger in marine than in freshwater stickleback. Norwegian sticklebacks were compared on the same head shape axis as the one differentiating the benthic-limnetic North American threespine stickleback species pairs. Here, Norwegian freshwater sticklebacks with a more “limnetic head shape” had more and longer gillrakers than sticklebacks with “benthic head shape”. The “limnetic morph” was positively associated with deeper lakes. Populations differed in α (mean ± sd: 0.76 ± 0.29) and Tpos (3.47 ± 0.27), where α increased with gillraker length. Larger fish had a higher Tpos than smaller fish. Compared to the ecologically divergent stickleback species pairs and solitary lake populations in North America, Norwegian freshwater sticklebacks had similar range in Tpos and α values, but much less trait divergences. Conclusions Our results showed trait divergences between threespine stickleback in marine and freshwater environments. Freshwater populations diverged in trophic ecology and trophic traits, but trophic ecology was not related to the elapsed time in freshwater. Norwegian sticklebacks used the same niches as the ecologically divergent North American stickleback species pairs. However, as trophic trait divergences were smaller, and not strongly associated with the ecological niche, ecological adaptations along the benthic-limnetic axis were less developed in Norwegian sticklebacks.

description: We analyze photoionization and ion detection as a means of accurately counting ultracold atoms. We show that it is possible to count clouds containing many thousands of atoms with accuracies better than N^-1.2 with current technology. This allows the direct probing of sub-Poissonian number statistics of atomic samples. The scheme can also be used for efficient single-atom detection with high spatiotemporal resolution. All aspects of a realistic detection scheme are considered, and we discuss experimental situations in which such a scheme could be implemented.

description: The underrepresentation of Black men and Black women in primary mental health services, juxtaposed with their overrepresentation in secondary mental health services, highlights a disparity rooted in sociopolitical historical contexts. This phenomenon reflects the complex interplay of mental health complexities and coping mechanisms amidst systemic inequalities and societal pressures within the Black community. Despite extensive research in the US, there is a notable gap in understanding these issues within the UK. This thesis explores the façade often maintained by Black men and women to navigate their emotional distress within the UK context. In this context, the focus is on those who are racialised as Black.Part A of this portfolio presents an empirical paper investigating emotional distress from the perspective of Young Black Men. It explores societal expectations of Black masculinity and internalised pressures prompting these men to perform stoicism and resilience to their audience and mask their struggles. This paper aims to unveil the complex layers of Black masculinity and emotional distress and explore the pathways towards support and empowerment. Part B presents a conceptual review focused on the Strong Black Woman schema and its impact on Black women’s interactions with healthcare services, especially regarding mental health support. By dissecting these narratives, it reveals the hurdles Black women face when seeking and receiving healthcare, shedding light on the systemic barriers they encounter. This review is not just about analysis but empowering Black women, validating their experiences, and amplifying their voices beyond pathologised narratives.Together, these papers examine the mental health experiences of Black men and women. By amplifying their voices and experiences, this portfolio seeks to contribute to a broader discussion surrounding mental health equity and empowerment within Black communities.

Operational mapping of the flood extent and depth from SAR images
Creators: name: Benoudjit, Abdelhakim
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Flood is causing devastating damages every year all over the world. One way to improve the readiness of the different stakeholders is by providing flood extent and depth maps promptly after the disaster, preferably in an automated way to reduce costs. The availability of these flood maps becomes particularly vital to assist the local authorities to plan rescue operations and evacuate the premises promptly. In the event of flooding, a clear cloud-free image acquired instantaneously, is necessary to have a synoptic view of the affected area. In this context, remotely-sensed images are suitable to map inundations, particularly when harsh climatic conditions are encountered and the access to the affected site is impractical. Moreover, satellite-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors have been extensively used in the last two decades to monitor many flooding events by taking advantage of their ability to operate independently of the sunlight, and in cloudy conditions which are common during inundations. In the majority of previous studies working with SAR images for the detection of floods, the inundation extent is essentially the only information extracted. Although, for certain applications like the assessment of the damages caused, additional inundation characteristics are needed to give a thorough analysis of the inundation hazard, like the water level. The major advantage space-borne acquisitions have specifically over gauging stations is the global-availability and the spatial-continuity of their data. A semi-automated process was proposed in this thesis to estimate the flood depth locally in the vicinity of an inundated building from a pair of high-resolution SAR images using Genetic Algorithms followed by the inversion of an urban backscattering model. One potential application of this method is to assist insurance companies in the assessment of the damages incurred by buildings and structures in flooded urban areas. Another way satellite SAR imagery can support decision makers in increasing the preparedness, is through flood extent maps. The online web application presented in this thesis addresses the issue of the flood extent mapping from SAR images promptly following the disaster, using a supervised classifier trained automatically without any intervention from the human user. This web application allowed to delineate the extent of the flooding, and managed to reach an accurate classification of the SAR image in a reasonable time. The important advantage to emphasize is the fact that the whole process is quick and automatic, which makes it useful to assist response authorities and the affected communities during emergency situations.

DESCRIPTION
Subcylindrical corallum, elliptical in outline, with convex calicular plateau showing a slightly depressed fossa. Radial elements are subcompact, straight or slightly curved, free or joined costosepta with a stylophyllid structure. We did not observed the pennulae described by Beauvais (1986). Septal spines in the frame of septa project at the inner edge in the axial space and produce a weak parietal papillose columella. Radial symmetry and bilateral symmetry following the calicular elongation. Endotheca made of numerous dissepiments. Synapticulae not observed. Epitheca s.l. present.
Calicular diameter: 17 to 20 mm – Number of septa: approximately 120 – Septal density: 4 to 7 per 2 mm.
REMARK
The original material described in Beauvais (1986) consists in a heterogeneous batch. The holotype belongs to the Stylophyllidae because of its septal structure. One of the paratypes (within the batch MNHN.F.A32021) seems to be a Proleptophyllia. None of the specimens shows the typical characters of the genus Epistreptophyllum Milaschewitsch, 1876.

title: The rhetoric of food reform in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain
Creators: name: Hinde, Amber Rebecca
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: In this thesis, I explore the rhetoric of food reform in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain, considering the construction of the writer-reader relationship in historical texts on diet. Taking a case study approach, I analyse texts written by two prominent food reformers and entrepreneurs from this time period—Thomas Richard Allinson (1858-1918) and Eustace Hamilton Miles (1868-1948). Adopting a multi-theoretical analysis framework to examine historical texts, the approach in this study is informed by CDA (Critical Discourse Analysis) in its analysis of texts rooted in historical context. This study found that Allinson and Miles drew on a range of writer- and reader-oriented rhetorical strategies to legitimise their claims surrounding health and diet. These rhetorical strategies contribute to four interrelated themes, which exist at the intersection of the historical context and the texts; these themes are: moralised discourses, authority construction, counterculture, and self-help. The fast-changing environment beginning in the late nineteenth century and extending into the early twentieth century fuelled a multitude of moralised discourses, such as the rhetoric of purity (O’Hagan, 2020) and the idealisation of the simple life (Zweiniger-Bargielowska, 2010); this presented a commercial opportunity for food reformers such as Allinson and Miles, who both sold their own branded health foods. Both individuals also drew on a variety of rhetorical strategies to claim authority, including role model and expert authority (van Leeuwen, 2007; 2017). Allinson and Miles rhetorically constructed their identities by negotiating nuanced relationships with the establishment and other mainstream groups, such as orthodox doctors and the Vegetarian Society. Bound up with these carefully negotiated relationships, Allinson and Miles contributed to self-help discourses, encouraging individuals to exercise agency in terms of their health. This research makes an original contribution by producing a linguistically informed history of food reform, emphasising the value of conducting individual case studies during a time period when identity was becoming an increasingly powerful rhetorical tool. Importantly, this thesis provides historical context on issues which remain prominent today, such as alternative medicine, the relationship between food and health, and the construction of expertise in diet discourses.
Women in crisis? : how young Greek women navigate 'emerging adulthood' following the effects of the 2008 economic crisis.
Creators: name: Kazana, Ioulia
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: This study focuses upon Greek women aged in their twenties and thirties, examining how they have experienced ‘emerging adulthood’ amidst the post-2008 social and economic crisis. Despite several commentaries charting the social consequences of the Greek crisis, few have examined exclusively on young women. This thesis is among the first to demonstrate the gendered effects of the Greek crisis. Based on in-depth interviews with 36 young women in Thessaloniki and Athens, the study assesses how young women negotiate ‘emerging adulthood’, by examining certain attributes of the crisis, combined with Greece’s unique cultural fabric. The thesis examines how traditional markers of adulthood, such as having a job, acquiring accommodation, establishing stable romantic relations and forming families have been considerably curtailed due to the effects of the crisis. The findings of the thesis are positioned around three major themes; firstly, the importance of education and work for young women during emerging adulthood. Due to a reduction in labour market opportunities in medium-high skilled work, young middle-class women have found themselves facing considerably curtailed employment prospects. The study examines how young women negotiate these challenging employment contexts, learning to find ways of coping within these situations. Secondly, with most young women forced to live with parents, the thesis examines the ways these living situations provide both a safety net, but also a hinderance to their sense of autonomy and independence. Finally, the thesis explores how young middle-class women in Greece negotiate love and intimacy under conditions of financial hardships and a general context of uncertainties and insecurities. The thesis concludes with the argument that significant social uncertainties and repeated experiences of personal injustice and social strain have resulted in resignation - an accepted state of their life events with few alternatives and hopes of positive change.

description: Owing to its reliance on snowfall and cool temperatures, the ski industry is particularly vulnerable to climate change. The Swedish ski industry has remained under-researched despite its cultural importance nationally and potential as a last resort' for European skiing under climate change. This thesis explores the notion of Sweden as a last resort across three studies. Study One modelled climate change risk in the Swedish ski industry using SkiSim2. The modelling revealed areas of Northern Sweden showed significantly less reduction in ski season length than Central and Southern Sweden and, with greater reductions predicted for areas of the European Alps, Northern Sweden may represent a ‘last resort’ for European skiing post-2050. Study Two viewed the perceptions of and adaptations to climate change amongst Swedish ski industry stakeholders. The study combined top-down snow conditions and ski operation data with bottom-up semi structured interviews. Snowmaking was seen as the primary adaptation, whilst cultural differences between Swedish and European skiing were seen as limiting Northern Sweden’s ability to capitalise on its climatic advantage. Study Three utilised a survey-based approach to explore how the UK outbound market viewed the Swedish ski industry and its competitiveness under climate change. The work demonstrated that British ski tourists held negative perceptions around the price and quality/variety of skiing in Sweden which improved upon visiting. Despite a willingness to substitute under poor snow conditions, it seemed until reliable locations in the European Alps become overcrowded or exhausted, Sweden may not benefit from climate change adaptation amongst outbound ski tourists. Ultimately, the findings of this thesis should encourage the ski industry as a whole to think more holistically about how they react, mitigate and adapt to climate change, as well as questioning the viability of the current mass tourism model seen in the European Alps.

description: Background Disparities in injury rates between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations in British Columbia (BC) are well established. Information regarding the influence of residence on disparities is scarce. We sought to fill these gaps by examining hospitalization rates for all injuries, unintentional injuries and intentional injuries across 24 years among i) Aboriginal and total populations; ii) populations living in metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas; and iii) Aboriginal populations living on- and off-reserve. Methods We used data spanning 1986 through 2010 from BC’s universal health care insurance plan, linked to vital statistics databases. Aboriginal people were identified by insurance premium group and birth and death record notations, and their residence was determined by postal code. “On-reserve” residence was established by postal code areas associated with an Indian reserve or settlement. Health Service Delivery Areas (HSDAs) were classified as “metropolitan” if they contained a population of at least 100,000 with a density of 400 or more people per square kilometre. We calculated the crude hospitalization incidence rate and the Standardized Relative Risk (SRR) of hospitalization due to injury standardizing by gender, 5-year age group, and HSDA. We assessed cumulative change in SRR over time as the relative change between the first and last years of the observation period. Results Aboriginal metropolitan populations living off-reserve had the lowest SRR of injury (2.0), but this was 2.3 times greater than the general British Columbia metropolitan population (0.86). For intentional injuries, Aboriginal populations living on-reserve in non-metropolitan areas were at 5.9 times greater risk than the total BC population. In general, the largest injury disparities were evident for Aboriginal non-metropolitan populations living on-reserve (SRR 3.0); 2.5 times greater than the general BC non-metropolitan population (1.2). Time trends indicated decreasing disparities, with Aboriginal non-metropolitan populations experiencing the largest declines in injury rates. Conclusions Metropolitan/non-metropolitan residence appears to be a more important predictor than on/off-reserve residence for all injuries and unintentional injuries, and the relationship was even more pronounced for intentional injuries. The persistent disparities highlight the need for culturally sensitive and geographically relevant injury prevention approaches.
Expectations of cancer treatment and their impact on outcomes.

description: Patients’ expectations pre-treatment for cancer can impact on subsequent treatment experiences. The existing literature is conflicted about whether expectations should be positive or realistic, with some studies reporting expectations as predictors of experiences and some studies highlighting the expectations-experiences gap as more important. Research has been narrow in focus and there exists no broad measure of expectations. Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) manage expectations, therefore their perspectives are important but are currently under-researched. This thesis aimed to explore patients’ expectations of cancer treatment more broadly, develop and validate new measures, and better understand CNSs’ perceptions. The thesis consists of six empirical studies. Study 1 qualitatively explored patients’ (n=16) expectations of cancer treatment. It highlighted a broader range of expectations than in the literature and suggested a role for the expectations-experiences gap. Study 2 designed two measures, validating them in a cross-sectional sample of cancer patients (n= 200). This produced a 39-item measure of expectations and a matched 36-item measure of experiences. Study 3 used the above sample to explore the expectations-experiences relationship and found that the expectations-experiences gap may be particularly important in a wide range of experiences. Study 4 measured expectations and experiences longitudinally but recruitment difficulties resulted in a case study of one cancer patient, which showed support for the findings from Study 3. Study 5 qualitatively explored CNSs’ (n=8) beliefs about patient expectations and found that CNSs believe balancing hope and honesty is the best approach to their management. Study 6 qualitatively explored CNSs’ (n=8) experiences of providing care and found that it was challenging but rewarding. This thesis contributes a broader understanding of patient expectations, facilitates their measurement and suggests that setting more realistic pre-treatment expectations is preferable. It shows that CNSs believe in balancing hope and honesty and that their roles are challenging but rewarding.

DESCRIPTION
Massive thamnasterioid corallum without epitheca (14 to 38 mm in size). Radial elements are subcompact (upward) to compact (in depth), septa or biseptal sheets sometimes anastomosed and often sinuous. Distal edge with regular small teeth, which diameter decrease from the periphery to the center of the calice. These teeth are often well detached at the distal-inner edge. False pennulae small, in the form of horizontally flattened dentate expansions never turned upward and not alternating or corresponding from a septum to the neighbouring one or from one side to the other of a single septum. Acute granules also present on lateral faces. Styliform columella in depth. Endotheca present, made of numerous dissepiments. Synapticulae abundant, wall absent.
Calicular diameter: 3.5 to 6 mm – Distance between calices: 3.5 to 6 mm – Number of septa: 20 to 30 – Septal density: 6 to 7 for 2 mm.
REMARKS
According to Lathuilière (2000b), the dimensions of the present species range within the species Thamnasteria mettensis, the only species of the genus for which a population study is available. However they are situated in the upper part of the spectrum with regards to the distance between calices. Moreover we identified the species with a cf. due to the absence of holotheca, an unusual character in the Bajocian T. mettensis. Since its creation in 1823 the genus Thamnasteria includes 165 nominal species that obviously need a thorough revision. We refer here to T. mettensis because it is well known in terms of variability and it is the closest species in terms of stratigraphy. The revision of common Upper Jurassic species (T. dendroidea Lamouroux, 1821, T. gracilis Goldfuss, 1829 and T. concinna Goldfuss, 1826 among others) could lead to a synonymy of T. mettensis Milne Edwards & Haime, 1851.

NHS Staff Experiences of Burnout and Moral Distress during COVID-19
Creators: name: FRENCH, LORNA

description: The COVID-19 pandemic brought unparalleled pressure, stress, and a dramatic change in practice to healthcare systems across the world. National Health Service (NHS) staff have reported higher levels of burnout, stress, and other mental health issues that they relate directly to the impact of the pandemic. Burnout is often used as a ‘catch-all’ term for psychological distress in the workplace and it has been suggested that, during the pandemic, experience of ‘burnout’ may be influenced by ‘moral injury’; the distress that can arise from actions, or lack of action, that is seen to violate one’s ethical code. Moral injury has commonly been discussed at an individual level, where a single person may be the ‘perpetrator’ of an unethical act, and experience guilt and shame as a result. This study instead investigates NHS staff experiences of burnout and betrayal-based moral injury, in which a trusted authority betrays ‘what is right’. Sixteen NHS staff members were interviewed in relation to their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were thematically analysed, and three themes constructed: abandonment as betrayal; dishonesty and lack of accountability; and fragmented relationship to management or the NHS. This analysis concludes that self-identified ‘burnout’ in NHS staff may include a significant moral component, and that failure to engage in moral repair following betrayal-based moral injury may relate to a long-term loss of trust or fragmented relationship with the organisation. In addition to traditional trauma-informed psychological support, leadership at all levels could benefit from training in betrayal-based moral injury and engagement in moral repair with staff to reduce staff intent to leave and encourage mutual trust. Limitations and potential avenues for future research were identified.
