Item Women's experiences of the transition to motherhood and self-compassion(Mark Allen Group, 2024-09-20) Hunter, Stephanie; Dickson, CarolineHealth visitors have a pivotal role in supporting women in their transition to motherhood, equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to help them cope and thrive. This review was conducted to appraise the current literature around the role of self-compassion in the transition to motherhood and women's experiences of this, as well as the effectiveness of self-compassion on women's psychological wellbeing in this transition. Databases were searched against an inclusion criterion and 11 studies were selected for review. Review findings give insights into how self-compassion practices can aid the transition to motherhood by mitigating psychological challenges and promoting maternal wellbeing and mother–infant bonding. Self-compassion training opportunities should be provided to health visitors and other health professionals working with women from pregnancy, to competently deliver and facilitate such interventions.Item Building an Inclusive Research Culture(Springer, 2020-12-23) Baldie, Debbie; Dickson, Caroline; Sixsmith, Judith; Sixsmith, Andrew; Sixsmith, Judith; Mihailidis, Alex; Fang, Mei LanItem Unpacking and Developing Facilitation(Wiley-Blackwell, 2021-05) Middleton, Rebekkah; Kelly, Margaret; Dickson, Caroline; Wilson, Valerie; van Lieshout, Famke; Hirter, Kathrin; Boomer, Christine; Manley, Kim; Wilson, Valerie J.; Oye, ChristineItem Person-centred community nursing(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-07) Dickson, Caroline; McCormack, Brendan; McCance, TanyaItem Being person‐centred in community and ambulatory services(Wiley-Blackwell, 2021-02) Dickson, Caroline; Peelo‐Kilroe, Lorna; McCormack, Brendan; McCance, Tanya; Bulley, Catherine; Brown, Donna; McMillan, Ailsa; Martin, SuzanneItem Community placements: A pocket guide for student nurses(Lantern Publishing, 2018-11-30) McKinlay, Lesley; Tsigkas, Georgios; Dickson, Caroline; Stuart, FionaCommunity placements are part of every student nurse's learning pathway - but they can be intimidating to the unprepared.

The first paper explored the current UK policy context and the way in which district nursing and community nursing services within each country are changing to meet the challenges posed. This article considers the current district nurse (DN) role, which has constantly evolved over the past 150 years, and considers the educational framework that underpins the preparation of these specialist community practitioners in relation to community colleagues such as specialist community public health nurses (SCPHNs). In the context of the current economic climate, there is concern that the apprenticeship model of staff development is replacing specialist practitioner education for DNs, solely on the basis of resource. This article explores the current challenges for DN education within the UK. The underpinning educational preparation of DN programmes is examined and key issues such as safeguarding the public are discussed. The need to develop a cohesive approach to education for post-qualification nurses in the community is advocated. These are important considerations for the future of a discipline which currently feels under threat.Item Person-centred community nursing(Wiley Blackwell, 2016-08) Dickson, Caroline; McCance, Tanya; McCormack, Brendan
