Emotional intelligence (EI) and situational awareness (SA) are important attributes for child protection professionals. In this qualitative study conducted in Finland, the aim was to explore how simulation-based learning could improve EI and SA of child protection professionals. Based on a learning needs assessment, a simulation-based educational intervention was provided for 36 professionals in 5 private providers of substitute care services for under 18-year-old children. Directly after the intervention, the participants were asked to recount in a short essay how the educational intervention had affected their EI and SA and other professional competence. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze the essays. The analysis revealed that the simulation coaching had been meaningful to the participants from four perspectives, increasing their awareness of their own and others’ emotions; making them better prepared to project themselves into another person’s position; increasing team intelligence, and as a form of work supervision. The results indicate that simulation coaching can be considered a useful tool for the development of EI, SA and related competencies in child protection professionals. Other professionals, whose work essentially involves close interaction with clients, may also consider the transferability of the findings to their work. Keywords: child protection, emotional intelligence, situational awareness

Abstract Objectives The objective of the study was to investigate how mental health professionals describe and reflect upon different forms of informal coercion. Results In a deductive qualitative content analysis of focus group interviews, several examples of persuasion, interpersonal leverage, inducements, and threats were found. Persuasion was sometimes described as being more like a negotiation. Some participants worried about that the use of interpersonal leverage and inducements risked to pass into blackmail in some situations. In a following inductive analysis, three more categories of informal coercion was found: cheating, using a disciplinary style and referring to rules and routines. Participants also described situations of coercion from other stakeholders: relatives and other authorities than psychiatry. The results indicate that informal coercion includes forms that are not obviously arranged in a hierarchy, and that its use is complex with a variety of pathways between different forms before treatment is accepted by the patient or compulsion is imposed.

Background and objective: Nursing competencies can be enhanced by the development of emotional intelligence, which promotes self-knowledge. Personality models, such as the Enneagram model, have been used to develop self-knowledge, and thus may contribute to increasing emotional intelligence. However, few studies have examined perceptions of the use of the Enneagram model on nursing competencies. This qualitative study aims to explore the perceptions of nursing educators and advanced practice nurses about the impact of Enneagram model training on the development of their professional competencies.Methods: This qualitative study used individual interviews and thematic analysis according to Miles and Huberman’s method. The nine participants were nursing educators and advanced practice nurses. Interviews were conducted between six and eight weeks after the Enneagram model training.Results: Results revealed that the Enneagram model may contribute to developing emotional intelligence. Participants perceived the Enneagram model training as promoting better self-awareness and understanding of others. It could also support the development of nursing competencies: humanistic action, collaboration, clinical leadership and support for learning in practice settings.Conclusions: The use of the Enneagram model could help nurses develop their emotional intelligence and optimize their practice while preserving their mental health. Implications for Nursing Administration: These findings are important for managers responsible for supporting nurses’ competencies and mental health through complex care situations in a context of change.

AbstractEffective teamwork performance is essential to the delivery of high-quality and safe patient care. In this mixed methodological observational cohort study, we evaluated team performance immediately following a real medical crisis in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) following implementation of a simulation-based team training (SBTT) program. Comparison of teamwork skills when rated by study observers demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in 12 out of 15 composite teamwork skills during real emergency events following SBTT (p < 0.05). Pre- and post-SBTT intervention survey data demonstrated an improvement in the perception of teamwork, most notable in the area of shared mental model and situational awareness following SBTT. Study results suggest that teamwork behaviors and skills acquired during SBTT can translate into improved bedside performance in the PICU.

In addition to gaming, there are many other activities around digital games. These metagame activities have so far been studied from the perspective of single metagame phenomena and rarely from the perspective of the children who play digital games. This exploratory, qualitative study provides an overview of children’s metagame activities. A total of 142 children’s essays and lists of their metagame activities were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The children’s metagame activities included game-enabling activities, strategizing activities, discussing activities, information-seeking activities, creating and sharing activities, and consuming activities. The results contribute to the body of literature on metagaming and provide an overview of children’s metagame activities around digital games, as well as new perspectives on digital games and learning.

Background: Parental mental illness (PMI) is common and can lead to children developing mental disorders. Family Talk (FT) is a well-known and widely implemented intervention designed to reduce the risk of transgenerational psychopathology. However, given the research to practise “gap,” very little qualitative research, to date, has investigated practitioner experiences in implementing FT. This study aimed to explore the practitioner-perceived barriers and facilitators to the implementation and sustainability of FT within mainstream mental health settings.Methods: This qualitative study was nested within a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of Family Talk [N = 86 families (139 parents, 221 children)] within 15 adult (AMHS), child (CAMHS), primary care mental health, and child protection sites in Ireland. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were undertaken with a purposive sample of clinicians (n = 31) and managers (n = 10), based on their experiences of implementing FT. Interview data were transcribed verbatim, analysed using constructivist grounded theory, and informed by Fixsen's implementation science framework.Results: Service providers highlighted a number of benefits for approximately two thirds of families across different diagnoses and mental health settings (AMHS/CAMHS/primary care). Sites varied in their capacity to embed FT, with key enablers identified as acquiring managerial and organisational support, building clinician skill, and establishing interagency collaboration. Implementation challenges included: recruitment difficulties, stresses in working with multiply-disadvantaged families, disruption in delivery due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, and sustainability concerns (e.g., perceived fit of FT with organisational remit/capacity, systemic and cultural barriers to change).Conclusion: This study is only the second qualitative study ever conducted to explore practitioner experiences in implementing FT, and the first conducted within the context of an RCT and national research programme to introduce family-focused practise (FFP) for families living with PMI. The findings illuminate the successes and complexities of implementing FFP in a country without a “think family” infrastructure, whilst highlighting a number of important generalisable lessons for the implementation of FT, and other similar interventions, elsewhere.

Tazkiyah al-nafs is a method of purification of the human soul in the form of internal purification and external formation in order to suppress desires and bad habits that lead to mental health and behavioral disorders. Sufism figures have introduced the method of purification of the soul, including Sheikh Sa'id Hawwa, which further explains Imam al-Ghazali's method of purification of the soul. This article aims to highlight the contribution of this figure in this field and analyse the approach presented by Sheikh Sa'id Hawwa in the method of tazkiyah al-nafs. This study is a qualitative study with content analysis design. The results show that Sheikh Said Hawwa has highlighted the method of tazkiyah al-nafs that is able to educate the human soul to avoid mental health and behavioral disorders. This study can provide early guidance and highlights on the method of purification of the soul based on the Quran and al-sunnah

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the perception of nurses and other members of the patient care team about nurses’ actions in mental health care. Methods: the study was conducted with professionals from mental health services in the interior of the state of São Paulo. The data collected through semi-structured interviews, a questionnaire with closed questions and a focus group were submitted to content analysis. Results: the participants referred mainly to the nursing care with the body and physical health, but also identified the nurse as a “gateway” for care, facilitator and integrator of actions and as the professional who has more contact with the user. Final considerations: although the stereotype of nursing as “body caregiver” refers to the beginnings of psychiatric nursing, the perception of the participants showed aspects that suggest a change in relation to the role traditionally attributed to this profession.
