Work Organisation, Forms of Employee Learning and National Systems of Education and Training

International audienceThis article uses a multi-level framework to investigate for 17 European nations the links between forms of work organisation and style of employee learning at the workplace on the one hand, and the characteristics of national educational and training systems on the other. The analysis shows that forms of work organisation characterised by relatively high levels of employee discretion and learning are more likely to be adopted in nations with broad-based systems of education and training that recognise the value of both academic and vocational training and provide ample opportunities for continuing adult education. Furthermore, it shows that employees with low levels of formal education have better access to jobs involving organisational learning in countries with more developed adult education systems. The results point to the need to balance policies designed to increase tertiary education rates with a commitment of resources at both the EU and national levels to develop broad and inclusive systems of lifelong learning

Process evaluation of the sedation and weaning in children (SANDWICH) multicentre stepped wedge, cluster randomised controlled trial

Data from interviews and focus groups undertaken with clinical staff working in United Kingdom (UK) paediatric intensive care units (PICUs), with a role in weaning children from mechanical ventilation. Data were collected between July 2019 and March 2020. Participants included nurses (bedside, senior clinical management, and advanced nurse practitioners), medical staff (medical trainees and consultant intensivists), allied health professionals (physiotherapists, pharmacists and nursing assistants) and members of the hospital/unit research teams. Data address their understanding and experience of the SANDWICH trial. Note this data forms the basis of the following published paper: "Delivery of a novel intervention to facilitate liberation from mechanical ventilation in paediatric intensive care: a process evaluation" (2023). Owing to the sensitive nature of the data created during this study, data is available via restricted access. Data is embargoed until 1 November 2025. Thereafter, it is available via restricted access conditions. To request access after the embargo period, please contact RDM Team at Queen’s University Belfast Email: [email protected]
