This qualitative narrative research design was carried out among 20 asymptomatic women with mental illness at a tertiary care centre in Bangalore, India. Results. Narrative content analysis was performed, and five dominant themes have emerged: 1. Understanding the nature and signs of violence (subtheme: Meaning of violence), 2. Abusive experiences of women with mental illness (subthemes: Physical violence, psychological violence, social violence, sexual violence and financial violence), 3. Experiences on disclosure of violence (subthemes: Identification of violence by nursing professionals, Experiences of disclosure of violence), 4. Barriers for disclosure of abuse(subthemes: Fear of consequences, the hectic schedule of nursing staff, helplessness and hopelessness, perceived poor family support). 5.Routine screening for violence by nursing professionals (subthemes: reasons for routine inquiry of violence, nature of inquiry by the nursing professionals). Conclusion. Women with mental illness were undergoing more than one form of violence, and most of the participants supported routine screening by nursing professionals. Nurses play an essential role in identifying and supporting abused women in mental health care settings.

The University

Mental illness in the university student population has come under increased scrutiny in recent years. Students with mental illness are understandably highly reluctant to disclose their condition to others due to fear of prejudice, “not blending in,” and a strong desire to appear self-reliant. This study considered whether disclosure to university support services, with all its perceived risks, had academic benefits for students with mental illness. Preliminary evidence was found that, for those students with mental illness who registered with the University’s Disability Support Service for assistance, academic achievement was significantly higher on average in the year following their joining the service. Academic retention for these students was comparable to their university peers. A number of recommendations are discussed that could accommodate for students’ learning needs, thereby benefitting those experiencing mental health difficulties.

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) nursing incorporates a plethora of specialisms, involving caring for patients with complex pathologies requiring specialist management and nursing care. GI nurses work across a range of clinical areas and have differing levels of knowledge and skill. However, there are gaps in knowledge specific to GI nursing, and there are barriers to education and evidence-based practice (EBP). Innovative educational strategies and the recent development of competency frameworks, such as those for endoscopy and hepatology nursing, have paved the way for other sub-specialisms, yet the different approaches to upskill the workforce require investigation. Aims: This article aims to identify the breadth and depth of research regarding the knowledge and educational needs of GI nurses and to understand the best approach to education and EBP. Methods: A scoping review was performed using the Arksey and O'Malley framework. A search was conducted in two bibliographic databases and across relevant UK organisations. Findings: The database search identified 31 relevant papers published from 2010 to 2021. The studies varied in purpose, method and recommendations, but all reported consistent results, specifically that GI nurses' knowledge requires attention. Many ways were proposed to assess learning needs and educational strategies to improve knowledge and EBP. Conclusion: GI nurses' knowledge requires development, to improve both the confidence and clinical practice of nurses and the experiences and clinical outcomes of patients. The educational and development requirements of GI nurses vary across a wide spectrum of needs and draw on a vast range of resources and evidence bases. Solutions do not need to be expensive or time consuming and can be practical, making use of existing resources and delivered at local, regional and national levels. At the same time, to deliver true EBP, nurses must develop the critical analysis skills required to locate, appraise and organise evidence, interpreting it into the practicalities for decision making. Future researchers should consider exploration of the instruments used to measure EBP and the competence of GI nurses, to evaluate the effectiveness of different educational models and assist educators in the development and refinement of specialist educational programmes.

Domestic Violence Against Women

Background: Domestic violence against women (DVAW) is widely recognized as a public health problem. In India, health sector response to DVAW is suboptimal. Present study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, practice and learning needs of nursing personnel regarding women’s health issues related to domestic violence.Methods: This facility based cross sectional study was carried out among 100 nursing personnel from Public sector in Delhi, selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a validated, pretested, structured self reported questionnaire with a few open ended questions. It included knowledge, attitude, practice and learning needs of nursing personnel relevant to DV. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis using Stata 11.0 (College Station, Texas, USA).Results: Two third of nursing personnel (67%) had moderate knowledge scores and 27% had poor knowledge scores; 19% had favourable attitude scores towards DV; 57% had good practice scores; 44% reported moderate to high need for learning and majority lacked preparedness to manage DV victims. The knowledge was significantly associated with younger age, single, graduate/ Post graduates, B.Sc. Nursing degree holders, working in tertiary hospital, as staff nurse/public health nurse/sister in charge and those with lesser experience, (p<0.05). The attitude was significantly associated with younger age, single, graduate/post graduates, and those with lesser experience, (p<0.05).Conclusions: Nursing personnel had substantial gap in their knowledge, attitude and practice related to DV and a large unmet learning need highlighting the need for relevant pre service and continuing education.
