The area of this paper is employer branding of small-and medium-sized family firms. Its function is to attract the necessary quantity and quality of labour force to build competitive advantage in the market, differentiate from peers and thus facilitate company's prosperity. Labour shortage and aging society strike Central and Eastern Europe, therefore, employers face a disadvantageous bargaining position. Family firms, that are mainly small companies, are in a unique situation. Although employer branding is a useful and hot topic nowadays in some regions of the world, it is yet greatly underresearched empirically for some kinds of associations. To close this gap, this paper aims to present an employer branding concept. We extracted the output from a two-folded literature review on the existing knowledge about the public image of small family firms and the psychological needs and employee expectations about such workplaces and employers. We narrow down the area by handling a specific pattern of employees and conducting the whole research in Hungary. The solution we are proposing to fill the gap is an employer branding concept created by customization of the Business Model Canvas.

“…The follow-up throughout this study provided a good doctor-patient relationship, strengthening this bond and reducing, within the patient condition of vulnerability, the fear and anxiety created by the pregnant woman's knowledge about her high risk of preterm birth. Many women who rstly felt fearful about the future of their pregnancy, considered the medical follow-up and treatment offered by the study as a divider -changing their position as a high-risk pregnant woman to a situation where this risk could be "controlled" or even "take away" (17). On the other hand, participation in a study or acceptance to use some treatment, even without clinical evidence, can create a false sense of security.…”

Background: Risk perception is based on collective indicators, but it is influenced by the individual’s self-perception of his health-disease process. This study aims to investigate the risk perception of pregnant who were identified as high-risk for premature birth and to seek strategies for better management of such cases. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study where women who had completed their participation in P5 trial were contacted and invited to answer a structured questionnaire with open questions. Data were collected by telephone and analyzed using thematic analysis. The analysis categories were defined, and all the answers were reviewed, categorized, grouped, and a descriptive summary was prepared. Results: 208 Brazilian women have participated.Three categories were identified: 1) Risk perception mediated by health professionals; 2) Self-perception of risk through personal experiences and relationships; 3) Perception of treatment success. After receiving an explanation from a healthcare professional about short cervix and premature birth, women understood the risk of premature delivery, recognizing the importance of early diagnosis to prevent premature birth. Unsuccessful previous experiences in prior pregnancies influenced women's risk perception. Patients believed in the success of the treatment performed, placing their hopes on the treatment even without research guarantees about benefits. Conclusion: Pregnant women’s risk perception regarding prematurity is based partly on personal and family experiences but mainly on information given by healthcare professionals. The risk perception about preterm birth may contribute to healthy pregnancy, guiding necessary interventions and preventing adverse outcomes. Prevention studies on prematurity should thus focus on neonatal outcomes.

“…It also addresses an important and under-researched aspect of health visitors' and community midwives' behaviour. There are a few investigations exploring the research recruitment behaviour of hospital midwives [32][33][34] but we have identi ed only one study focusing on community midwives' [35] barriers and one looking at why health visitors declined to take part in a cluster RCT [28].…”

“…Studies of barriers to research recruitment involving other healthcare professionals have identi ed many of the same barriers that were evident in our study. Time constraints, staff shortages and workload are widely reported barriers to research recruitment across health specialities and services in the UK, Finland and US [28,32,[36][37][38]. Others have also reported that inaccessible study materials [32,34,35], language barriers [14] and inadequate support from researchers [37] pose barriers to research recruitment.…”

Background Recruitment of pregnant or postnatal women and young families into health research is a challenge. Community midwives and health visitors are well placed to invite service users to participate, but evidence suggests that they do not always invite all potentially eligible service users. Our aim was to use the Theoretical Domains Framework to explore health visitors’ and community midwives’ perceived barriers and enablers to approaching service users about participation in research and to use the Behaviour Change Wheel to suggest theory-based strategies to improve future recruitment. Methods Health visitors and community midwives working in four NHS Trusts and one community partnership in England were invited to complete an anonymous, online survey. The sample comprised health visitors (n=39) and community midwives (n=22). Qualitative data from open-ended questions about recruitment behaviour informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework were analysed using directed content analysis and inductive coding to identify salient Theoretical Domains Framework domains and specific barriers and enablers. Strategies to address these barriers and enablers were identified using the Behaviour Change Wheel. Results Six key Theoretical Domains Framework domains were identified as salient to service user approach: (a) environmental context and resources; (b) social/professional role and identity; (c) social influences; (d) goals; (e) beliefs about capabilities; (f) knowledge. Intervention strategies were identified to address specific barriers (insufficient time and staff capacity, inadequate study materials, rejection of the study’s relevance to practitioners’ role, negative influence of researchers and managers, and competing priorities) and to leverage specific enablers (additional staff resource, the relevance of service user approach to professional role, positive influence of team members, managers and researchers, and a belief in the link between service user approach and improvements in healthcare). Conclusions This study provides new insights into why community midwives and health visitors do, and do not, invite service users to participate in research. Using the Theoretical Domains Framework and the Behaviour Change Wheel we identified that resourcing and social support for staff together with education and communication about the health benefits of approaching service users about research participation are key to improving research recruitment involving these health professionals.
