Using appreciative inquiry to develop, implement and evaluate a multi-organisation âCultivating Compassionâ programme for health professionals and support staff
The âCultivating Compassionâ project was developed in response to a research and innovation call relating to compassion training for National Health Service staff in the South East of England. The project aims included the following: the use of Appreciative Inquiry to develop, implement and evaluate a sustainable and evidence-based programme of compassion awareness training through engaging with a diverse group of health professionals and support staff; an evaluation of a âtrain the trainersâ approach; and an evaluation of âcompassion leadâ roles and a multi-modal compassion toolkit. The project team included academics from two universities and one medical school, NHS staff from three separate organisations and service users. The participants recruited to the study included doctors, nurses, receptionists, chaplains and others working in close contact with service users from within four NHS organisations in the South East of England. The main findings from the project using thematic analysis from participant focus groups and interviews identified project enablers and inhibitors, the value of project resources, and shifts in perspectives. Project conclusions highlighted the importance of effective senior-level support and organisational leadership in cultivating compassion within a healthcare organisation and the importance of the integration of compassion-promoting resources within existing staff development initiatives

Distinguishing Drift and Selection Empirically: âThe Great Snail Debateâ of the 1950s
Collegial surface acting emotional labour, burnout, and intention to leave in novice and pre-retirement nurses in the United Kingdom: a cross sectional study.
To investigate the relationship between surface and deep acting in nurses' patient-focused and collegial emotional labour, with emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment and intention to leave.
Design
A cross-sectional descriptive study using the Emotional Labour Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and intention to leave Yes/No questions with 118 Registered Nurses to measure patient-focused and collegial emotional labour, burnout and intention to leave.
Results
Surface acting in patient-focused and collegial emotional labour was found to have positive associations with burnout and intention to leave their current job. Only surface acting in patient-focused emotional labour was positively associated with intention to leave the organization and/or the profession. The novice nurses carried out more deep acting collegial emotional labour than the pre-retirement nurses.
Conclusions
Collegial emotional labour is significant to nurses' intention to leave their current job but not their intention to leave the organization and/or the profession
