This is despite in some cases a clear statement that the element of psychosocial fundamentals of care being investigated was witnessed by a clear statement in the title of the tool (Inherent Dignity Questionnaire (IDQ), Social Dignity Questionnaire (SDQ) and Dignity Conserving Repertoire Questionnaire (DCRQ): Bagheri, Yaghmaei, Ashktorab, & Zayeri, 2018a; Bagheri, Yaghmaei, Ashktorab, & Zayeri, 2018b).…”

“…Most of the studies involved patients only ( n = 36), hospitalised in different care units (e.g. cardiology n = 4; oncology and palliative care n = 11), although most studies occurred across various clinical specialities (Borhani et al, 2014; Bruyneel et al, 2017; Chaplin et al, 2015; Chochinov et al, 2016; Chung et al, 2018; Comiskey et al, 2014; Ehrlander et al, 2009; Ferri et al, 2015; Fröjd et al, 2011; Gattinger et al, 2013; Goh, Ang, Chan, He, & Vehviläinen‐Julkunen, 2015; Goh et al, 2016; Hall et al, 2013; Hargreaves et al, 2012; He et al, 2013; Kim et al, 2017; Ota et al, 2019; Otani et al, 2011; Papastavrou et al, 2012b; Periyakoil et al, 2009; Raee et al, 2017; Tauber‐Gilmore et al, 2018; Teunissen et al, 2016; Udomluck et al, 2010; Wu et al, 2015; Yousuf et al, 2009).…”

Scaling up nurse education: An evaluation of a national PhD capacity development programme in South Africa, in the context of the global shortage of nursing graduates

“…Within Europe and the United States some evaluation of the impact of these roles on the profession, clinical care, education and the service user has been carried out by Bryant et al (2004), Begley et al (2010), Kennedy et al (2012) and Comiskey et al (2013) and all found positive impacts of the expanded role.…”

“…According to Riegel, Sullivan-Marx and Fairman (2012) nurse practitioners are nurses who have acquired advanced clinical and decision making skills and usually hold a master's degree. They assert that 23 countries formally recognise this role and believe these roles can be used to address some of the global demands within healthcare services and practice.Within Europe and the United States some evaluation of the impact of these roles on the profession, clinical care, education and the service user has been carried out by Bryant et al (2004), Begley et al (2010), Kennedy et al (2012) and Comiskey et al (2013) and all found positive impacts of the expanded role. …”
