    Notes: Plasma aspirin and salicylate concentrations were followed after 600 mg of a new palatable glycinated preparation of aspirin was given to six healthy male volunteers in an attempt to investigate whether pre-gastric absorption of aspirin could occur. In each subject the drug was administered by three different routes, viz. (i) swallowed with water, (ii) dissolved sublingually and retained in the mouth, and (iii) allowed to disperse on the tongue, and then swallowed without water intake. Using the latter route of administration and the same aspirin formulation, plasma aspirin and salicylate concentrations were also followed in 10 patients during acute migraine attacks. These results were compared with those from another 10 migraineurs given 600 mg of soluble aspirin swallowed with water during attacks. Aspirin and salicylate pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, tmax, t½, Kabs and AUC) in the normal volunteers were not significantly different (p 〉 0.05) whether glycinated aspirin was swallowed with water or swallowed without water after dispersion in the mouth. However, negligible aspirin was absorbed when the glycinated preparation was retained in the mouth. In migraine patients, there was no significant difference (p 〉 0.05) between the bioavailabilities of soluble aspirin swallowed with water (AUC = 5.7 ± 2.3 mg h/1) and glycinated aspirin swallowed without water (AUC = 4.4 ± 1.6 mg h/l). There also was no significant difference (p 〉 0.05) when the time courses of pain relief were compared, both treatments being associated with a significant (p 〈 0.01) analgesic effect. The glycinated aspirin was thus bioequivalent to swallowed aspirin but has no advantages for migraineurs over soluble aspirin if water is readily available for self-administration.

    Notes: The claim that Britain's economy has been transformed by an economic miracle in the 1980s is critically evaluated, as is the entrenched view that unions have damaged productivity and competitiveness. Reviewing the empirical evidence, this article argues that after 10 years of Conservative government supply side economic performance remains weak.

    INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS AND THE BRITISH ECONOMY IN THE 1990s: MRS THATCHER'S LEGACY (1992)

    Notes: The authors challenge the view that the UK Conservative governments during the 1980s achieved important advances in industrial performance through the abandonment of corporatist policies that allowed management to regain the initiative and push through changes in work organization. The article takes issue with the idea that collective labour institutions necessarily impair economic efficiency, and it points up important connections between Thatcher's offensive against organized labour and the enduring weaknesses in human capital and technology.The article has three sections: the first examines labour markets and industrial relations; the second analyses government regulation; and the third assesses trends and prospects for the future, with emphasis on employment flexibility and labour productivity. The authors conclude with some comments on future prospects in the context of Britain's fuller integration in Europe.

    Notes: Violence in mental health care: the experiences of mental health nurses and psychiatrists Violence against mental health service personnel is a serious workplace problem and one that appears to be increasing. This study aimed to ascertain the extent and nature of violence against mental health nurses and psychiatrists, and to identify what support, if any, they received following exposure to violence. Mental health staff working within five West Midlands Trusts in the United Kingdom were surveyed using a postal questionnaire to investigate the extent and nature of violence they encountered in their daily work. There was an overall response rate of 47%, which included a response rate for psychiatrists of 60% (n=74) and for mental health nurses of 45% (n=301). Though both groups experienced violence at work, nurses were found: to have been exposed to violence significantly more during their career; to have been a victim of violence within the previous 12 months of the survey; and to have suffered a violent incident involving physical contact. Whilst a higher proportion of nurses than psychiatrists received some support following a violent incident, a large proportion of both groups did not receive any, although most felt in need of it. The implications of this study for training and management are discussed.

    Notes: A comparative study of the perceptions of British mental health nurses and psychiatrists of their work environment¶ This comparative study of the perceptions of mental health nurses and psychiatrists about aspects of their work environment was undertaken in the West Midlands in England. The aim of the study was to ascertain the extent to which the environment in which mental health professionals’ work impacts on their own mental and physical well-being. Seventy-four psychiatrists and 301 mental health nurses responded to a postal questionnaire. Analysis of data indicated that significant differences exist between nurses and psychiatrists in their working conditions, their physical working environment, their sources of support with a work-related problem, and the effects of their work on their own mental and physical health. The main recommendation derived from this study was to improve communication between mental health professionals and their managers by giving more structured feedback and guidance about one’s work performance. This may help to alleviate the mental strain many mental health professionals experience in their work.

    Individual and organizational well-being in psychiatric nursing: a cross-cultural study (1999)

    Notes: Individual and organizational well-being in psychiatric nursing: a cross-cultural study Although health care systems around the world are undergoing rapid changes, there is an absence of comparative studies of how these changes affect nurses’ well-being and work life. The purpose of this study was (i) to identify and describe possible differences between the psycho-social work environments of English and Swedish mental health nurses, and (ii) to attempt to explain these differences. 1016 psychiatric nurses from Stockholm (Sweden) and Birmingham (England) responded to a postal questionnaire on their psycho-social work environment and feelings of professional fulfilment, mental energy and work-related exhaustion. The study was given ethical clearance in Stockholm and Birmingham. Results indicated that while the English nurses rated their organizational well-being more favourably, Swedish psychiatric nurses reported greater individual well-being than their counterparts. Multiple regression analyses indicated that self-esteem was important for explaining mental energy and work-related exhaustion, but less so for explaining professional fulfilment, which was predicted primarily by organizational factors. When controlling for self-esteem, which was higher amongst the Swedish nurses, the differences in professional fulfilment and mental health were no longer significant. Reasons for the differences in self-esteem and experiences of the workplace are discussed. Low response rate may have contributed to a selection bias.

    Notes: Mental health nurses’ perceptions of nurse prescribing Aims. This study aimed to ascertain mental health nurses’ perceptions of the advantages and disadvantages of nurse prescribing and to identify the educational needs of mental health nurse prescribers. Design. A questionnaire was designed and administered to a convenience sample in the UK of 73 mental health nurses in clinical practice, 14 working in in-patient settings and 59 in the community. Questions included both closed and open-ended items. Descriptive statistics were used for numerical data, and category analysis of the open-ended questions was undertaken by two of the researchers independently and then conjointly. Findings. The majority of respondents felt that mental health nurse prescribing would significantly improve clients’ access to medication, improve compliance, prevent relapse and prove cost effective. However, many were anxious that they did not have sufficient knowledge and skills to assume responsibility for prescribing. Conclusions. Although there would be benefits to clients and patients, further training, rigorous supervision and the co-operation of doctors will be required if mental health nurse prescribing is to yield the anticipated benefits.

    Care under threat in the modern world (2000)

    Notes: Care under threat in the modern world Despite enormous progress in the understanding and treatment of disease during the 20th century, the amount of care individuals receive from health professionals is arguably less than in previous decades. Being in the presence of caring people who practised human caring has always been the bedrock of services to individuals who were ill. With the rise of scientific positivism in the mid-19th century, traditional ways of caring for sick people, not susceptible to scientific investigation and intervention, were either abandoned or discouraged. The spread of outcome-orientated health services has led to care being redefined as the provision of the finest form of treatment that is financially viable. The spectre of a service in which the human dimension of caring is either prescribed or seen as invalid gives cause for concern. This paper argues for urgent re-examination of what we understand by ‘care’.
