PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the role of golf tourism in contributing to the overall sustainability of the destination community of St Andrews, Scotland.Design/methodology/approachIt uses a primarily qualitative assessment of impacts supported by archive material from local sources including the local media.FindingsGolf tourism in the town of St Andrews has a long history and has been integrated into the development of the town for many centuries. This has meant that there has been developed a positive relationship between golf and its organisation and the community, and there is widespread support for golf tourism and acknowledgement of the importance of this activity for the well-being of the town. There is acceptance that residents benefit in many ways from the presence of golf tourism in the town.Research limitations/implicationsNo direct quantitative assessments were made, but previous surveys of the impact of golf tourism on the town are used in drawing the conclusions. Extensive literary research was conducted on attitudes and perceptions of community residents to golf tourism.Practical implicationsIt is clear that the concept of sustainable development is context specific in terms of its validity and effectiveness, and it should be examined in terms of local conditions and arrangements.Social implicationsIn this case, an activity that has taken place in the community for 500 years is widely accepted and improved through tourism development.Originality/valueWhile case studies are not always of benefit and often reflect only a single viewpoint at one time, this paper shows that implications can be drawn from case studies that reflect situations that exist in other destinations.

The Impact

Processes associated with the formation of child-headed households (CHH) are complex. Findings are mixed with regard to the impact of living in CHHs on children. On the one hand, children in CHHs do not necessarily have more unmet basic needs than do peers in adult-headed households and, in fact, have more opportunities to develop self-esteem and care for others. Nonetheless, children in CHHs confront specific challenges to their well-being. This chapter summarizes the state of the literature pertaining to CHHs, with a particular focus on CHHs as indicators of “the breakdown of the extended family” as a safety net. The authors present two case studies from Namibia that illustrate changes in children’s relationships and other aspects of the CHH experience and explore immediate and deferred reciprocity as a measure of accessibility and strength of their relationships and as an indicator of the changing status of children and family dynamics.

The Impact

Positive psychotherapy (PPT) is an emerging therapeutic approach that is broadly based on the principles of positive psychology (PP). PP studies the conditions and processes that enable individuals, communities, and institutions to flourish. PPT is the clinical or therapeutic arm of PP. PPT integrates symptoms with strengths, risks with resources and deficits with assets. Without dismissing the severity psychiatric distress, or naively minimizing clients’ genuine concerns, PPT identifies and teaches clients evidence-based skills which use their best resources to meet their toughest challenges. Specifically, PPT helps clients to translate their cognitive, emotional, social and cultural strengths into goal-oriented, purposeful and pragmatic actions and habits, which aim to reduce their psychiatric distress as well as enhance their well-being. A strengths-based approach such as PPT can improve the effectiveness of psychotherapy by expanding the scope of psychotherapy, broadening beyond the medical model, expanding the outcome of psychotherapy, and attenuating the impact on the clinician.

The Impact

This article considers the impact of growth on economic, social, environmental and cultural sustainability. Although it refutes an extractive model of growth, it suggests that a form of socially and ecologically positive and sustainable growth might have beneficial impacts in certain circumstances and locations. It argues that currently applied models of growth are both inefficient and unsustainable, as they are extractive of finite natural and human resources, and lead to inequalities that produce unaffordable costs. It therefore calls for a more intelligent, efficient, sustainable and place-based approach. Undertaking a general review of Wales, where recent well-being legislation places a sustainable development obligation on all devolved public bodies, it outlines the results of three ‘Deep Place’ case studies that offer an alternative approach to growth within the sustainable place-making context.

The Impact

During the past decade, economic and political forces have caused radical transformations in health caresystems resulting in changed circumstances within which nursing executives must function. This paper providesan understanding of nursing executives' roles and responsibilities and the impact changes in the health industryhave had on their careers.One hundred and forty-seven (52%) of the 281 nursing executives employed in the Queensland Public HealthSector completed a postal self-administered survey. The findings of this study demonstrate their role hasexpanded to include not only nursing administration, but also responsibility for financial, human resources,strategic and resource management, staff development and quality improvement. The impact of these rolechanges has affected the health and well-being of nursing executives, with nearly half reporting increased stress,frustration and irritation. Their workload has increased and some reported deterioration in their health,specifically, exhaustion, fatigue and insomnia. Respondents reported they now have less time to spend withfamilies and friends, which has had a negative impact on family relationships. Overall, nursing executives weresatisfied with their current position, the work itself and their relationships with their co-workers, but dissatisfiedwith organisational aspects, especially the quality of mentorship and opportunities for promotion.

The Impact

227 Background: Living with cancer and its treatment affects many aspects of life, impacting roles and responsibilities. Formal assessment of these impacts is not normal practice and there is a need for rigorously developed, well-validated measures for both patients (pts) and informal caregivers (cgs). We present an overview of work (PROACT) detailing the development of such tools. Methods: Stage 1: Two systematic reviews of existing PROs used to measure broad life impact in pts and cgs, mapping individual scale items to conceptual domains to identify what is currently being measured and where gaps exist. Stage 2: Qualitative 1: Thematic analysis of in-depth interviews with pt-cg dyads about the impact of extended cancer survival on broader aspects of life and wellbeing to generate potential items for new measures. Qualitative 2: Cognitive interviews with new pt-cg dyad cohort using "think aloud" and specific probes to refine items for new measures. An advisory panel of 5 people with lived experience of cancer or caregiving worked with us throughout the project. Results: Systematic reviews identified gaps in existing measures around changes in occupational, financial, household and family roles and responsibilities and informed topic guides for Qualitative 1. Interviews with 24 pt-cg dyads generated 20 themes and 33 sub-themes from which 31 pt and 64 cg items were devised. Cognitive interviews with 20 pt-cg dyads in Qualitative 2 refined the measures. The final measures consisted of 29 items for pts (intended to be administered alongside FACT-G/QLQ-C30) and 60 for cgs (stand alone). Items cover family responsibilities, financial well-being, jobs and careers and additional sections on relationships and communication, lifestyle and outlook and health and well-being for cgs. Conclusions: We have developed two scales to measure broad life impacts of cancer for patients and informal caregivers. These are currently being evaluated and validated in Stage 3 of the project. Once validated these scales will be useful tools for clinicians and researchers enabling wide-ranging longer-term evaluation of new treatments in clinical trials and to aid decision-making about treatment options and supportive interventions.

PURPOSE: Communication is crucial in any clinical environment for efficient delivery of care and ensuring patient safety. A 2016 National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators questionnaire indicated poor physician-nurse satisfaction with communication in our department. We addressed gaps in our communication procedures by implementing a communication policy with a secure mobile messaging platform, and we surveyed care team members to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation. METHODS: We designed a policy around best communication practices and implemented a secure mobile messaging platform, Cureatr, which enables closed-loop, two-way communication that is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Pre- and postimplementation surveys evaluated self-reported impression of efficiency, timeliness, effectiveness, and overall quality of communication, which were scored on a 5-point Likert scale. The number of messages sent was evaluated as a measure of uptake in use, and patient navigation data were queried to measure changes in clinic workflow. RESULTS: After implementation of Cureatr and a communication policy, survey responses demonstrated a clear improvement in staff satisfaction with the efficiency, timeliness, effectiveness, and overall quality of communication. The number of messages sent reflected a progressive increase in use of Cureatr; however, a consistent improvement in clinical workflow as measured by a decrease in patient in-room time was not appreciated. CONCLUSION: Implementing a secure messaging application with a communication policy improved cancer care team satisfaction with communication on all levels. Additional work is needed to evaluate the impact of secure messaging on clinical workflows, patient satisfaction, and staff well-being.
