“…Only one study (reported on in two papers) did not meet the 60% threshold for quality assessment due to a lack of a clear research question (50, 64). Findings from this study were not consequential to the change model due to these being reinforced by other studies (50).…”

Background : Patients, families, and communities regularly provide feedback about care and treatment received from healthcare services, most of which is positive. The aim of this review was to examine how positive feedback creates change within healthcare settings. Methods : Included documents were empirical studies where the full text is publicly available in English, and where a change has occurred within healthcare services attributed to positive feedback from service users, their families, or the community. They were identified through database searches (ACM Digital Library, AMED, ASSIA, CINAHL, MEDLINE and PsycINFO), forwards and backwards citation, and expert consultation. Data was synthesised into a change model describing forms, mediators and moderators of change. A protocol was prospectively registered: https://osf.io/5x46c . Results : Sixty-eight papers were included, describing research conducted in 32 countries across six continents, with qualitative (n=51), quantitative (n=10), and mixed (n=7) methods. Only two described interventional studies. The most common form of feedback was ‘appreciation’ (n=28). The most common recipients were nurses (n=29). Positive feedback was most commonly given in hospitals (n=27) and community healthcare (n=19). Positive feedback mostly led to positive outcomes categorised as (a) short-term emotional change for healthcare workers (including feeling motivated and improved psychological wellbeing), (b) work-home interactional change for healthcare workers (such as improved home-life relationships), and (c) work-related change for healthcare workers (such as improved performance and staff retention). Undesirable changes included embarrassment when receiving feedback, tension in the patient-professional relationship, and envy when not receiving positive feedback. Conclusion : Positive feedback can provide the opportunity to create meaningful health service change. Healthcare managers may wish to use positive feedback more regularly, and to identify and address barriers to staff receiving feedback. Further interventional research is required to establish the effectiveness of receiving positive feedback in creating change, and to understand the influence of feedback content.

Background and Objectives: The scope of haematology nursing practice is dynamic and must respond to advances in treatment, patients’ needs and service requirements. Little is known however, about different roles of haematology nurses across the European setting. The purpose of this study was to identify professional practices of haematology nurses. Method: A cross sectional online survey design was used to investigate practice elements undertaken by haematology nurses. Frequencies and descriptive statistics were calculated for demographic variables and chi-square tests to examine relationships between practice elements, nursing role and country. Results: Data is reported from 233 nurses across 19 countries, working as Staff Nurses (52.4%), senior nurses (12.9%) and Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) (34.8%). Most frequently reported activities included medication administration - oral/ intravenous (90.0%), monoclonal antibodies (83.8%), chemotherapy (80.6%), and blood components (81.4%). APNs were more commonly involved in nurse-led clinics and prescribing activities (p < .001, p = .001, respectively), however other nursing groups also reported performing extended practice activities. Patient and carer education was a significant part of all nurses roles, however senior nurses and APNs were more often involved with the multidisciplinary team (p < .001) and managerial responsibilities (p < .001). Nurses involvement in research was limited (36.3%), frequently reported as an out of work hours activity. Conclusions: This study describes haematology nursing care activities being performed in a range of contexts and within different nursing roles. It provides further evidence of nursing activity and may contribute to a core skills framework for haematology nurses.

“…Generally, the CSN is a registered nurse with specialist knowledge in specific cancer care and treatment who can offer continuous expert and accessible care, who is a key worker and advocates for the diagnosed persons, and who provides support to the persons diagnosed with CRC and their family members (Buckley et al, 2018;Luck et al, 2017;Cook et al, 2021). Due to the evolving cancer care over the past few decades, the CSN's role has expanded (Buckley et al, 2018;Charalambous et al, 2018;Lemonde and Payman, 2015;Cook et al, 2021;Kelly et al, 2020). Nowadays, apart from supportive care, it includes working collaboratively with and educating other professions and ensuring effective communication (Buckley et al, 2018;Luck et al, 2017;Cook et al, 2021).…”
