“…Key to our argument is the therapeutic potential of staff/resident relationships. Positive relationships can be beneficial for both groups, enabling residents to “practice” relationship‐building soft skills, and can also work to reduce staff burnout (Mersin et al, 2020). We recognise the limitations of our research, in that the theme of supportive relationships from our data arose incidentally; each project we have reported on was not originally centred on relationships.…”

Accessible summary We talked to people who lived in a secure unit and their staff. We asked them about good relationships with each other. The majority of the people said that good relationships with staff can help people move back to the community and be “in a good space”. Staff said that good relationships can stop people feeling angry. They said that they like to help people and have trust. It is important to have a good staff team who know the person well. Residents said staff help them and listen to them when they are upset. They said they like it when staff spend time with them doing activities. Based on what residents told us, we think it is important that services work on helping people to have good relationships. This is because these relationships were very important in helping people to move more quickly back into the community.

The spatial and emotional distance from family and friends means that relationships with staff become central to people's lives, and are critical for a successful transition to making their home in the community. Methods This article uses a synthesis of evidence from two qualitative studies. We re‐analysed data from fieldnotes and interview transcripts with people with learning disabilities resident in secure settings and with staff who worked with them. The purpose of the original studies was service improvement however, relationships —particularly with between staff and residents— emerged as a significant theme in both studies. Therefore, the data were revisited to explore these relationships in more depth. Findings The analysis identified that positive relationships with staff were critical in enabling residents to be “in a good space”—something they and staff viewed as a crucial factor for moving on. The analysis identified four main themes: (i) the characteristics of positive relationships, (ii) the challenges for positive relationships, (iii) how positive relationships can be encouraged and (iv) how positive relationships support people to move on. Conclusion We conclude that flattening the hierarchy between staff and residents is key when supporting people with learning disabilities to move on. We stress the importance of the “soft skills” in enabling people to transition back to their community. There is a pressing need for research with people who have made the transition from hospital to generate retrospective narratives about what elements of these relationships are most significant in supporting a successful transition.

“…Nurses' work motivations are also affected by salary and career development; a conducive working relationship; and supervision (Baljoon et al, 2018). Above all the factors mentioned before, it is highlighted that compassionate love impacts professional commitment (Mersin et al, 2020). Thus, vocation is the most determinant factor for working commitment.…”

Background: Nursing jobs are very complex and stressful, and nurses are demanded to have high competency and soft skills to keep their performance. However, the nursing workload often leads to fatigue, and it will be very challenging for novice nurses. Therefore, they need to be trained in soft skills in order to be able to control their emotion and adapt to the situation. Unfortunately, studies on essential soft skills for novice nurses in Indonesia are scarce; further research on this topic is a necessity. Objective: This study aimed to explore the perception of senior nurses about the essential soft skills for novice nurses during their work adaptation process.Methods: This qualitative study used an interpretive phenomenology approach, which was conducted in a private hospital in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews from ten senior nurses selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using Gadamer’s hermeneutic approach.Results: Nine essential soft skills were developed for novice nurses during their transition phase from education to practice, including self-control, initiative, caring, self-motivated, hospitality, flexibility, adaptability, analytical skill, and presentation skill. Conclusion: Findings of this study serve as a basis for developing the soft skills of novice nurses in their clinical practice in hospitals in Indonesia. It is also recommended that soft skills should be included in the nursing education curriculum. However, soft skills are essential for novice nurses to succeed in their adaptation and future career. Funding: This study was funded by the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education of Indonesia through the “Beginner Lecturer Research Grant”.

“…Additionally, aspects of empathy (e.g., empathic concern) were shown to predict greater compassion satisfaction and lower secondary traumatic stress and burnout among helping professionals (Duarte and Pinto-Gouveia 2017;Duarte et al 2016;Richardson et al 2016;Wagaman et al 2015;Yi et al 2019). Furthermore, greater compassionate love was shown to predict greater professional commitment and lower burnout in nurses (Mersin et al 2020). Therefore, compassion for others and related constructs could be useful predictors of first responders' professional and personal quality of life.…”
