Although the physical and psychological effects of leg ulceration featured prominently in this study, these were heavily influenced by the relationship between the participant and the health-care professional.

The aim of the study was to establish mentorship practice in relation to the University of the West of Scotland pre-registration nursing students. Surveys were sent to 4,341 mentors, with a 41 per cent response rate. Results show that 18 per cent of participants had passed a failing student. A number of factors influenced mentors' decisions, which to some extent echo findings from previous research. However, this study provides new perspectives on failing to fail and considers the supportive role of universities in relation to mentors and students' practice placements. The knowledge derived from this study will help inform mentoring and mentorship practice to ensure only safe and competent practitioners gain entry to the register.

Weight-based stigmatization is a prevalent problem that can result in disordered eating, especially if weight bias internalization is also present. Emotion dysregulation is correlated with disordered eating as well, and it is not known whether emotion dysregulation may worsen disordered eating in those who experience weight stigmatization. The current study aimed to fill this gap in the literature with 2 hypotheses: that those who report emotion dysregulation and have experienced weight stigma would display disordered eating, and that those who also had internalized weight bias would have even more severe disordered eating. One hundred four students completed surveys enquiring about their weight stigmatization experiences, emotion regulation, weight bias internalization, and disordered eating behaviors. Multiple regression analyses supported the influence of stigmatization, emotion dysregulation, and internalization on disordered eating, and the interaction of weight stigmatization and emotion dysregulation. These results indicate the importance of considering emotion dysregulation in the weight-based stigmatization literature.
