“…A concept also becomes linguistic, as words are the mechanism for sharing the idea. Concepts represent aspects of reality and enhance the ability to communicate (Hanrahan, 2004); as such, the choice of words as well as their implied meaning(s) is important. The words used to describe the traumas are important mechanisms for communicating complex concepts and then become labels for experiences and effects.…”

“…The main components of a Walker and Avant (2011) approach for concept analysis were used to guide analysis. This technique has been shown to be effective for identifying the unique characteristics of a concept and refining an operational definition (Hanrahan, 2004; Liu et al, 2014). Specifically, analysis focused on identification of the definition, antecedents, defining characteristics and consequences of relational, complex, interpersonal, intergenerational, developmental, betrayal, cumulative, and attachment trauma.…”

Many forms of psychological trauma are known to develop interpersonally within important relationships, particularly familial. Within the varying theoretical constructs of psychological traumas, and distinct from the processes of diagnosis, there is a need to refine the scope and definitions of psychological traumas that occur within important familial relationships to ensure a cohesive evidence base and fidelity of the concept in application to practice. This review used a philosophical inquiry methodology of concept analysis to identify the definitions, antecedents, characteristics, and consequences of the varying conceptualizations of psychological trauma occurring within important relationships. Interactions between concepts of interpersonal trauma, relational trauma, betrayal trauma, attachment trauma, developmental trauma, complex trauma, cumulative trauma, and intergenerational trauma are presented. Understanding of the discrete forms and pathways of transmission of psychological trauma between individuals, including transgenerationally within families, creates opportunities for prevention and early intervention within trauma-focused practice. This review found that concepts of psychological trauma occurring within familial relationships are not exclusive of each other but overlap in their encompassment of events and circumstances as well as the effect on individuals of events in the short term and long term. These traumas develop and are transmitted in the space between people, both purposefully and incidentally, and have particularly profound effects when they involve a dependent infant or child. Linguistic and conceptual clarity is paramount for trauma research and practice.

“…It describes PD rather instrumental with a focus on implementation of research knowledge and effective interventions in the daily practice of nurses. PD should lead to a measurable improvement in the care of patients, and is initiated when there is an identified patient need (Hanrahan, 2004;Unsworth, 2000). PD is often conducted in small-scale, short-term, even ad hoc projects, closely related to the primary process and led by a facilitator who is viewed an expert.…”

This article explores the relevance of Practice Development (PD), as developed in nursing, for fostering practice improvement and the external recognition of social work. The findings of a Delphi study among 17 social work experts reveal that PD in social work is framed as a collective endeavour embedded in a professional learning community of social workers aimed at systematically developing their practice with regard to shared recurring complex social problems. The experts reached consensus on the core components that constitute PD in the context of social work: Cooperation with a diversity of stakeholders; Linking, including the integration of multiple perspectives and adjustment to the context; Evidence Based Practice. With regard to the organisation of PD, experts agree on the importance of the practice developer role but disagree on the mandate for PD, allocation of the pdrole and competences for this role. The emphasis on collective sense making and on organisational and outside realities implies that PD in social work is consistent with the notion of connective professionalism. However, the framing of PD as a meta-activity for which only social workers share responsibility, raises also questions about its role in moving social work towards more connective forms of professionalism. SAMENVATTINGDit artikel verkent de relevantie van Practice Development (PD), zoals ontwikkeld in de verpleegkunde, voor praktijkontwikkeling en het versterken van de positie van het sociaal werk. De resultaten van een Delphi studie met 17 experts in het sociaal werk laten zien dat PD in het sociaal werk beschouwd wordt als een gemeenschappelijke inspanning ingebed in een professionele leergemeenschap van sociaal werkers, gericht op het systematisch ontwikkelen van hun praktijk in relatie tot terugkerende, gedeelde en complexe sociale problemen. De experts bereikten consensus over de kernelementen van PD in de context van het sociaal werk. Samenwerken met een diversiteit aan stakeholders; Verbinden, inclusief de integratie van meervoudige perspectieven en afstemming op de context; Evidence Based Practice. Wat betreft de organisatie van PD, zijn de experts het eens over het belang van de rol

“…Walker and Avant's model has been used in many publications covering many concepts from organisational issues such as 'practice development' with regard to infection control [13], to 'aggression' in a mental health setting [16]. These suggested that the process was well tested and useful for our purpose so we decided to embark upon it to see if this could help us in articulating our understanding of creativity and innovation as, using it as the structure of one of our workshops.…”

The Creativity in Health and Care Workshops programme was a series of investigative workshops aimed at interrogating the subject of creativity with an over-arching objective of extending the understanding of the problems and possibilities of applying creativity within the health and care sector workforce. Included in the workshops was a concept analysis, which attempted to gain clearer understanding of creativity and innovation within this context. The analysis led to emergent theory regarding the central importance of aesthetics, emotion and empathetic imagination to the generation of creative and innovative outcomes that have the capacity to promote wellbeing in the health and social care workforce. Drawing on expertise in the field, this paper outlines the concept analysis and subsequent reflection.
