“…The findings of this study were similar to the findings of a previous study conducted by the same research team (Christiaens et al, 2008). In the previous study, student perceptions of attending the AHNA annual conference included empowerment, an appreciation for self-care and lifelong learning, and gaining more knowledge about holistic nursing.…”

“…For the past 3 years, nursing students from a large private university have attended the AHNA annual conference with two faculty members. In 2007, the students wrote about their experiences and perceptions of the conference (Christiaens, Abegglen, & Rowley, 2008). Their journals revealed that conference attendance made them feel empowered, instilled the value of self-care, and taught them how to apply holistic nursing principles to practice.…”

Self-care is something nurses know they should do, but do they? While attending national End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium train-the-trainer courses, attendees have an opportunity to participate in a 1-hour self-care session, sharing personal stories of how they and their organizations participate in this care, admitting barriers in taking good care of themselves, and talking about the importance and challenges of finding balance in life. During a period of 13 months, 605 nurses who attended one of nine national End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium courses responded to a survey about self-care that was developed by End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium investigators and faculty. The nurses, who filled out the survey voluntarily, ranged in age from 22 to 78 years and had between 0 and 58 years of nursing experience. The respondents practiced in all types of healthcare settings from hospices to hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, schools of nursing, and in critical care, pediatrics, geriatrics, oncology, hospice, palliative care, and medical/surgical settings. The purpose of this article was to share the descriptions of self-care among End-of-Life Nursing Education ConsortiumYtrained nurses. It is important that palliative care nurses practice self-care so they can, in turn, provide excellent care for others.

“…Global health conferences are forums of decision making, knowledge exchange, networking and personal development, pivotal to the field. 1 2 Health conferences provide opportunities that are highly beneficial for career development [3][4][5][6] and attendees from low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), regions disproportionately burdened by disease, unquestionably have much to contribute and to gain from active participation at these conferences. However, inequities in conference attendance, raised in recent opinion pieces, have drawn light to an area that requires critical attention.…”

IntroductionGlobal health conferences are important platforms for knowledge exchange, decision-making and personal and professional growth for attendees. Neocolonial patterns in global health at large and recent opinion reports indicate that stakeholders from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) may be under-represented at such conferences. This study aims to describe the factors that impact LMIC representation at global health conferences.MethodsA systematic review of articles reporting factors determining global health conference attendance was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Articles presenting conference demographics and data on the barriers and/or facilitators to attendance were included. Articles were screened at title and abstract level by four independent reviewers. Eligible articles were read in full text, analysed and evaluated with a risk of bias assessment.ResultsAmong 8765 articles screened, 46 articles met inclusion criteria. Thematic analysis yielded two themes: ‘barriers to conference attendance’ and ‘facilitators to conference attendance’. In total, 112 conferences with 254 601 attendees were described, of which 4% of the conferences were hosted in low-income countries. Of the 98 302 conference attendees, for whom affiliation was disclosed, 38 167 (39%) were from LMICs.Conclusion‘Conference inequity’ is common in global health, with LMIC attendees under-represented at global health conferences. LMIC attendance is limited by systemic barriers including high travel costs, visa restrictions and lower acceptance rates for research presentations. This may be mitigated by relocating conferences to visa-friendly countries, providing travel scholarships and developing mentorship programmes to enable LMIC researchers to participate in global conferences.
