“…All full‐time registered nurses (nurses registered with the Singapore Nursing Board) working at the study venue during the data collection period composed the target population.

This study aimed to determine whether definable profiles existed in a cohort of nursing staff with regard to demographic characteristics, job satisfaction, acculturation, work environment, stress, cultural values and coping abilities. A survey was conducted in one hospital in Singapore from June to July 2012, and 814 full-time staff nurses completed a self-report questionnaire (89% response rate). Demographic characteristics, job satisfaction, acculturation, work environment, perceived stress, cultural values, ways of coping and intention to leave current workplace were assessed as outcomes. The two-step cluster analysis revealed three clusters. Nurses in cluster 1 (n = 222) had lower acculturation scores than nurses in cluster 3. Cluster 2 (n = 362) was a group of younger nurses who reported higher intention to leave (22.4%), stress level and job dissatisfaction than the other two clusters. Nurses in cluster 3 (n = 230) were mostly Singaporean and reported the lowest intention to leave (13.0%). Resources should be allocated to specifically address the needs of younger nurses and hopefully retain them in the profession. Management should focus their retention strategies on junior nurses and provide a work environment that helps to strengthen their intention to remain in nursing by increasing their job satisfaction.

“…Downe et al (2013) in their study on bereaved parents' experience of stillbirth suggest that an ethos of care at all levels of the organisation is central to positive staff caring behaviours. Hospital policy and meeting training needs of staff has a positive effect on attitudes towards bereavement care, demonstrated by Chan et al (2004). Caring for bereaved parents has been described as stressful for health care professionals, and there is a growing awareness of the importance of the emotional needs of health care professionals as well as parents (Kenworthy and Kirkham, 2011).…”

SummaryObjective: To explore the influence of the Amulet artwork and exhibition on midwifery students' perceptions of caring for parents experiencing perinatal death.Design: A descriptive qualitative design involving face-to-face semi-structured interviews following institutional ethical approval.Setting: A regional Maternity Hospital in Ireland which hosted the National Artwork and Exhibition exploring the hidden world of infant death.Participants: A purposive sample of six consenting post registration midwifery students who had attended the Amulet artwork and exhibition.Findings: Four core themes emerged and these were i) entering the mother's world and hearing her pain; ii) the journey of grief and connecting with the bereaved parent's unique experience; iii) facing the challenge of providing effective perinatal bereavement care; iv) maintaining a journey of compassionate practice Conclusion and implications for practice: Exposure to, and reflection on the Amulet artwork and exhibition increased students' awareness and insight into the non-linear nature of the grieving process, and to the importance of maintaining a journey of compassionate care for parents experiencing perinatal death. The findings suggest that the use of creative women-centered strategies promote affective learning in relation to perinatal death and so may be of use to educators and maternity care providers.
