The aim of this study was to report the results of a literature review of empirical studies on trust within the nurse–patient relationship. A search of electronic databases yielded 34 articles published between 1980 and 2011. Twenty-two studies used a qualitative design, and 12 studies used quantitative research methods. The context of most quantitative studies was nurse caring behaviours, whereas most qualitative studies focused on trust in the nurse–patient relationship. Most of the quantitative studies used a descriptive design, while qualitative methods included the phenomenological approach, grounded theory, ethnography and interpretive interactionism. Data collection was mainly by questionnaires or interviews. Evidence from this review suggests that the development of trust is a relational phenomenon, and a process, during which trust could be broken and re-established. Nurses’ professional competencies and interpersonal caring attributes were important in developing trust; however, various factors may hinder the trusting relationship.

Students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) are found internationally. This systematic literature review identifies interventions conducted on these students. Although the U.S. produces abundant studies on effective school-based academic and behavioral interventions, a search of over 4,000 articles published over 6 years yielded only 11 international studies meeting the selection criteria. Out of 11 qualified studies, 6 reported therapeutic treatments, 8 targeted elementary students, 9 were conducted in self-contained classrooms, and 9 were from the U.K. These findings indicate a paucity of quantitative research determining effectiveness of EBD interventions currently used in schools worldwide. The results indicate that quantitative studies are not the standard of evidence-based practice internationally, and diagnostic criteria and terms used to identify students vary worldwide.

This chapter summarizes 16 empirical studies that employ quantitative and/or qualitative discourse analytic techniques published in applied linguistics journals over the last five years. These studies tend to analyze spoken discourse in formal contexts, produced by both adults and children who are native and nonnative speakers of English. Unfortunately, all studies focus only on English discourse, which suggests that analyses of discourse in other languages are clearly needed; moreover, it was extremely difficult to find published discourse analytic studies which employ only quantitative research methods. Although each of these discourse analytic studies presents segments of transcribed discourse, researchers collect data of the type and in the amount prescribed by the analytical tradition employed—those working within the conversation analytic tradition collect, transcribe, analyze, and present only recorded social interaction, while researchers who situate themselves in the ethnography of communication framework collect and present various forms of “triangulated” data to support their conclusions. The chapter concludes by mentioning the problem of evaluative criteria for qualitative research, and by suggesting that applied linguists need to address this issue and articulate some reasonable solutions, so that all published research is, in fact, quality research.

This article examines the emergence, in the Swiss context, of a new category of ecologically oriented ‘spiritual’ activists. The authors look at empirical studies conducted internationally on the link between religion and environmentalism and argue that ‘spiritually oriented activists’ are rarely investigated in quantitative studies. The authors then examine the findings of a case study of local milieus in two Swiss cities and nationwide data collected as part of the Swiss Household Panel (SHP). They close the gap between results coming from case studies, on the one hand, and representative studies, on the other, by introducing the variable of spirituality into quantitative research. The results suggest that an ecological milieu is emerging comprised of people who are located politically on the left, do not self-identify as religious, but nonetheless practice meditation and have holistic feelings. The forms of spirituality practiced by these ecologists are ‘subtle’ in the sense of being adaptable, located in the background, and supportive of sustainability.

Patient loyalty can affect hospital development, so it is necessary to control the influencing factors, one of them is by improving the quality of nursing services through a caring approach. The purpose of this study was to identify nurse’s caring at Palembang XX Hospital. Quantitative research methods with a correlative descriptive design and cross sectional approach was used in this research. The sampling technique was accidental sampling with 38 respondents. Data collection tools using questionnaires as many as 25 items caring nurse statements and 18 items of patient loyalty statements. Data analysis used the chi square test. The results of the research are caring nurses good 30 respondents (78.9%), contractual aspects are good 23 respondents (60.5%), ethical aspects are good 28 respondents (73.3%), spiritual aspects are good 24 respondents (63.2%) and good loyalty 24 respondents (63.2%). Research results show that there is a nurse caring relationship with loyalty (p value = 0.034), there is a relationship between contractual aspects and loyalty (p value = 0.006), there is a relationship between ethical aspects and loyalty (p value = 0.021) there is a relationship between spiritual aspects and loyalty ( p value = 0.035). The conclusion and suggestion is that there is a nurse caring relationship with patient loyalty. Efforts need to be made to improve caring nurses by making guidelines on caring nurses

Construction companies are increasingly concerned with new strategic guidelines and ways of managing project budgets to improve their competitiveness and sustainability. Thus, with this work, the authors analyse the relationship of the uncertainty of the organizational environment with other constructs, as causes of unfavorable budgetary deviations in the projects of Portuguese construction companies. For its development, quantitative research methods and techniques were adopted. The results presented in the study show a high correlation between the five first-order constructs (internal environment, external environment, time/delay, project process/monitoring, and project financing) justified by the literature review and justify the perception regarding the uncertainty in the organizational environment and other constructs as factors that determine the causes of unfavorable budgetary deviations in construction companies' projects. It should be noted that the objectives outlined for this study were achieved by providing complementary knowledge in this area of research.

ABSTRACT A blog is a website maintained by an individual or group of individuals that includes observations and opinions regarding a specific subject matter. This paper explores the opportunities and issues regarding blogs as accounting research and teaching resources. While locating applicable blogs is challenging, they can be valuable resources regarding current events and their archives provide perspectives that can cover several years. For research, blogs are a continuous and timely source of research ideas and should be part of any literature review. Blogs that criticize current accounting practice not only identify issues ripe for research, but also frequently present recommendations to address those issues. Academics can transform those criticisms and recommendations into testable questions or hypotheses to investigate using various qualitative and quantitative research methods. As teaching resources, blogs provide an opportunity for students to analyze and evaluate others' opinions, which should improve students' critical thinking and make them cognizant and conversant in accounting subject matters. Students can also create their own blogs as a form of reflection.

Purpose: The purpose of this literature review was to investigate how cooperative learning (CL) has been conceptualized and implemented in Chinese physical education (PE). CL is one of the most influential and widespread areas of theory, research, and practice in western education. With the promotion of Chinese government policies, CL has become a popular field of research and was widely used as a pedagogical practice in Chinese. Design/Approach/Methods: Shulruf’s five methodological steps were utilized as the process of screening and selecting relevant studies. Inductive analysis and constant comparison were conducted for analyzing the chosen literature. Findings: The analytic induction revealed four key themes: (a) historical development; (b) policy influence; (c) conceptualization of CL; and (d) implementation of CL. We found that the conceptualization of CL in Chinese PE was ambiguous and the implementation of CL was predominantly documented by quantitative research methods. In addition, few studies were conducted at the elementary school level. Originality/Value: This is a comprehensive literature review on CL in Chinese PE. Findings and recommendations in this article will be beneficial for policymakers, scholars, and PE teachers to better understand and promote CL in China.

PurposeThis paper presents a systematic review of 94 research articles in the domain of gender and firm innovation to map the area and infer future research avenues. The literature captured in this review includes seven theoretical, 16 qualitative and 71 quantitative studies from over 50 journals, examining the role of gender in firm innovation in over 100 countries.Design/methodology/approachThis research utilises a reproducible systematic literature review process to identify prominent theoretical and empirical studies.FindingsThe findings suggest that the area is growing and presents interesting opportunities. However, it is observed that empirical investigations are primarily influenced by literature from the Anglo-Saxon areas and give little attention to contextual intricacies of emerging market countries. Among quantitative studies, three main themes of gender are addressed unevenly. They are Top Management Team (TMT) diversity level, R&D team diversity level and individual entrepreneur level studies. Six interesting research avenues are proposed as a major outcome of the review.Originality/valueThis review is one of the first of its kind to extensively review the literature of gender and firm-level innovation. The review consolidates and widens the understanding of the relationship between gender variables and firm innovation-related variables to advance the discussion in the domain by presenting research gaps and questions gleaned from the articles. To this end, the review presents six promising research avenues in the area of gender and firm innovation.

The purpose of this study was to review the empirical studies on health personnel's views towards organ donation and transplantation. A scoping review was carried out in English, Portuguese and Spanish. The search was conducted in eight databases, and two search engines. Four groups of descriptors were used. The period covered was 1985 to 2013. Frequency and content analysis was performed. Two hundred forty-eight articles were selected, out of 316 identified. The literature is temporally and geographically clustered. Quantitative studies predominate. The studies prioritized the perspective of medical and nursing personnel over other actors, such as directors and organ donation coordinators. Health personnel's attitudes toward deceased organ donation was the most examined topic. In conclusion, a growing quantitative literature analyzes the perspective of physicians and nurses with regard to deceased organ donation and transplantation.
