“…Learning is different from receiving education because it relies on the individual in question being motivated to take on board the knowledge that they receive (McWilliam 2007;Tuohy 2007;Daley 2008). The differences between education and learning have been highlighted in educational theory and research by educationists like Piaget and Vygotsky (Mann 2002;Tuohy 2007;Hegge and Hallman 2008).…”

Values are perceived to be a key determinant of people's behaviour and actions. There is a limited amount of research into the value that nurses place on the prevention of pressure ulcers, but past studies have suggested that nurses place a low value on pressure ulcer prevention. This article describes a study that was undertaken to ascertain what value nurses place on pressure ulcer prevention. The participants in this study (n=16) were recruited from the non-acute adult medical wards of 14 hospitals of one NHS trust and a local university. Data were gathered via semi-structured interviews, then transcribed and analysed via Straussian grounded theory. The findings of this study show that the value that nurses place on pressure ulcer prevention is important because all nurses attempt to work in line with the value that they place on pressure ulcer prevention. The nurses who place a high value on pressure ulcer prevention appear to be more proactive and determined to deliver care that protects the care of their patients' skin. However, the findings suggest that the efforts of nurses to prevent pressure ulcers are often impeded by environmental factors like bed management, and the differing values placed on ulcer prevention by colleagues. It also shows that interventions to protect the skin of patients are often undertaken by healthcare assistants and students because nurses are too busy carrying out other tasks.

“…In rare cases, unpredictable circumstances, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, affect organisations in unprecedented ways [20]. They, as semi-open (or semi-closed) systems [21], are in continual interaction with their external environment, with constant feedbacks between the organisation and external stimuli [22]. Organisations are connected to larger systems and thus affect the balance of the economic, environmental, and social spheres [23][24][25].…”

Changes in Sustainability Priorities in Organisations due to the COVID-19 Outbreak: Averting Environmental Rebound Effects on Society

2020

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected societies and organisations in an unprecedented way. This has resulted in negative impacts to economic and social issues, but it is a “blessing in disguise” for environmental issues. This paper analyses how the outbreak has affected organisations’ sustainability priorities. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, such priorities were on the economic dimension followed by the environmental and social dimensions. A survey was sent to 11,657 organisations to analyse such changes, with a 5.60% response rate. The results show that for organisations, the main priority is now on the social dimension, followed by the economic one; however, the environmental dimension has suffered a negative impact in prioritisation, regardless of organisation type, country where they are based, organisation size, or the time they have been working on sustainability. We are currently facing an environmental conundrum, where air quality has improved and pollution has decreased in societies, but organisations are starting to neglect such environmental issues. The COVID-19 outbreak is an opportunity for organisations to better contribute to sustainability by ensuring that the efforts that have been undertaken in the last three decades are not forgotten, and that societies and organisations are better coupled to face such crises and avert rebound effects.

organisation, to improve their performance. According to the analysed standards of the chosen for the analysis occupations the main knowledge requirements for some public sector occupations are at the following fields: Communication, Country language and foreign languages, Finance, Labour relations, Law, Legislation, Occupational health and safety, Professional terms, Professional ethics, Project management, Record keeping. Only professional terms and record keeping requirements could not be covered by offered courses within analysed master programmes on Public Administration or Management. However, beside formal education, public sector employees can take Massive Open Online Courses, participate in special trainings or be trained on the working place to improve or gain some skills that have not been developed at school or university. Conclusions mainly are based on the quantitative data and the pilot small range studies. Applicable conclusions are made using inductive method.Based on the research authors propose the most suitable set of subjects, which could be proposed for further professional development in public sector. There are possibilities proposed for public sector employees for their further professional development. However, there is a need of special education programme development based on new tendencies and standards for public service employees.
