“…With regard to the location of the studies, there was great geographical dispersion: fifteen studies in Brazil, eight studies in the United States of America (USA), six studies in China, five studies in Australia, three studies in Cyprus, three studies in Portugal, two studies in Spain, two studies in the Netherlands, and one study in each one of the following locations: Belgium, England, Turkey, Colombia, Japan, South Korea, and Finland. It is important to mention that two of the selected studies were carried out in more than one country (34,52) .…”

“…The environment of the professional nursing practice has aroused growing interest because, during the last decade, there was an evident consensus that the identification of opportunities to improve the working conditions in hospitals is essential to maintain adequate professionals and ensure excellence (52) . From the perspective of the authors (52) , although the health systems in different countries are influenced by economic changes driven by the recession and substantial pressures on the hospitals, investment in the professional nursing practice environments can make a difference, as it can be an effective way to improve outcomes and quality of care (17,34,49) .…”

Objective: To identify the instruments used to evaluate the professional nursing practice environments in the hospital context. Method: An integrative review, whose research process was conducted independently by two researchers in the period from July to August 2019 in the CINHAL, PubMed and SciELO databases. Results: Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 53 studies published between 2009 and 2019 were considered for analysis. Ten instruments and three thematic areas were identified: instruments for the assessment of the nursing professional practice environments; implications of the use of instruments for the assessment of nursing professional practice environments; limitations of the instruments for the assessment of nursing professional practice environments. Conclusion: Despite the relevance of the instruments identified, this integrative review provides contributions that support the need to use specific tools to assess the nursing practice environments that include the structure, process and outcome components.

“…Research has shown that caregivers do not always have the ability to manage the patient's individualised needs (Hashemi‐Ghasemabadi, Taleghani, Yousefy, & Kohan, ). Therefore, the findings of this study show that healthcare professionals need to support caregivers’ efforts to provide individualised care for patients that address their specific health problems (Papastavrou et al., ).…”

Family caregivers face multiple challenges when caring for patients with oral cancer at home. Understanding the difficulties they face may assist health professionals to better organise and provide support for family caregivers of oral cancer patients. The aim of this study was to describe the caregivers' primary tasks and the difficulties they encounter when caring for a family member with oral cancer. This qualitative study included a purposeful sample of 22 primary family caregivers ranging in age from 25 to 71 years old. The researchers used face-to-face, semi-structured and tape-recorded interviews to collect data and employed qualitative content analysis to elicit caregiving-related themes. Six task-related themes and associated challenges were identified. These included managing the patient's nutritional issues, investigating and making decisions about patient care, managing sudden and unpredictable changes in the patient's condition, managing emotional distress, adjusting their attitudes towards patient care, and seeking resources. Family caregivers handle such essential tasks when they care for patients in home settings and they face specific challenges related to them. This study identified several challenges related to each task. From the outset, healthcare providers should actively offer caregiving information and strategies. Health professionals can incorporate strategies for supporting caregivers' ability to carry out these tasks into their treatment model and can help caregivers manage difficulties that can impede them from doing so.

Impacts of Rationing and Missed Nursing Care: Challenges and Solutions

This chapter discusses ethical issues in the area of rationing and missed nursing care from two different perspectives: 1) philosophical/conceptual and 2) empirical descriptive ethics. In addition, ethical issues can be approached from 1) the societal and organizational levels, i.e. organisational ethics; 2) the professional nursing staff, i.e professional ethics; and 3) the service user's and patient's point of views, from the perspective of rights. These approaches may look at different sides of the same issue, and deserves closer investigation and discussion. The use of the concepts missed care, care left undone, unfinished care and covert rationing of care, varies in the literature, potentially giving rise to some conceptual confusion, inconsistencies and potential misunderstandings. This can lead to unidentified, flawed assumptions and difficulties in clarity of thought regarding the phenomenon /phenomena under question. Finally, the empirical evidence on the missed care/ rationing and similar concepts deserves some conclusive statements from the ethics point of view.
